TODAY’S BEST TECH DEALS
NordVPN is one of the most widely-acclaimed VPN services out there and has been downloaded en masse by our readers during past deals. The service lets you connect up to six simultaneous devices and access 5,871 servers worldwide, with no logs kept of your actions.
Right now, the best deal is to spring for three years of service and save 70% off of the regular monthly price. You’ll have to spend $126 to do so, but at least then you won’t have to think about it again until 2023!
This story was originally published by Gabe Carey on 4/17/2020 and updated by Andrew Hayward with new information on 5/7/2020.
Oreck ProShield Plus Air Purifier | $179 | SideDeal
It may not be able to suck in viral pathogens, but an air purifier will at least ensure your air is a little more enjoyable to breathe. Oreck’s highly-rated ProShield Plus purifier with its Truman Cell filtration system is up for a massive steal at SideDeal right now: It’s just $179 to own one, a 55% discount from MSRP. It’s fit for rooms up to 78 square feet, has three speed settings, and includes remote control.
And if you’re wondering why it’s worth paying more for something like this over standard purifiers:
Air Purifiers with Oreck’s patented Truman Cell filtration use EP (Electrostatic Precipitator) technology to attract particles to the filter, trapping in dust, allegens, pet dander and smoke. While the performance is similar to HEPA Media, Truman Cell filters are permanent, which means they never need to be replaced.
That means it’ll eventually pay itself off.
In our latest co-op, I asked you guys to nominate the best active noise-canceling headphones under $300. I was going to wait for the results to begin testing some options, but with this deal on TaoTronics’ Hybrid ANC headphones, I’m pretty sure this is where I’ll begin. If the $10 coupon on Amazon’s site isn’t enough, you can take an additional $20 off with coupon code IAE8UP8O for a final total of $50.
TaoTronics makes lofty claims on its “hybrid” ANC, suggesting it can block out 96% of ambient noise, and if the reviews are anything to go by, it’s as effective as advertised. It features dual 40mm drivers, and TaoTronics is advertising 30-hour battery life, though this may be with ANC disengaged. Buy one on impulse, or wait for my eventual review.
B&H Photo is running an insane deal on an LG Ultrawide 34″ 1440p monitor, complete with HDR10 for a color gamut capable of billions of colors, thanks mostly in its nano IPS technology. Unfortunately, this kind of kit doesn’t come cheap. You’re going to want to sit down for this one: It’s normally $1,000, but clip the coupon and you’ll save $250.
That’s still damn near a month’s mortgage, but hey, at least you’ll have achieved full immersion in your games, which should take your mind off the fact that you’re eating ramen for the foreseeable future.
Right now we are more germ conscious than ever and reducing any spread is important. Cleaning our phones is just as crucial as our hands, so it might be time to swap your case out. Pela is offering a buy one, get one free sale on all of their highly protective phone cases.
Although these cases are smooth and flexible they are designed to withstand quite a bit of damage, more so than traditional plastic cases. Pela is pretty eco-conscious and has made each case out of compostable bioplastic and flax straw materials. So when you’re done with it you could let it biodegrade in a home compost.
The classic case runs around $40 but there are wallet options and a slimmer design. Free shipping on all orders and this deal runs until May 31.
You’re not a serious gamer until you have LED lights bleeding out of your ears, and with HyperX’s Alloy Origins mechanical keyboard, your illustrious career will come out of the starting gates strong. Normally $110, GameStop is knocking $20 off its price, and shipping is included.

This one has three USB-A ports, all of which are capable of 2.4A charging. It won’t offer the fastest charging speeds for your smartphones and tablets (there’s no Qualcomm Quick Charge), but it’s better than having an $800 paperweight when you can’t find an outlet.

Anker Liberty Air 2 Wireless Earbuds (White) | $79 | Amazon | Use code AKSC3910
You know, despite writing for Kinja Deals, and despite our consistent posting of headphone and earbud deals, I haven’t picked up any wireless headsets. Well, maybe this deal will convince me, as grabbing these Anker wireless earbuds for $79 is quite the deal. These noise reducing earbuds will help you focus on your work without being so big and bulky, and these will stay charged for the duration of the work day.

Having to work from home can be frustrating for any number of reasons. Among them can be the uncontrollable noise from other family members who are just trying to get through the day. The best thing to do is to find a way to tune out the noise without having to cause too much trouble. Noise-canceling headphones, like Bose’s QuietComfort 35‘s, which are $50 off at B&H Photo today, can be a great help in keeping you focused and helping the outside world fade into the background.

Times are tough right now, and that means that buying a new computer might be difficult, even if you really need one.

While they’re great for doing sketches on a computer, tablets have some other nifty features that many might find useful. For example, those with RSI issues might find that using a tablet in place of a mouse, while tricky at first, can relieve some hand cramping and make things a bit more manageable. In either case, Wacom’s tablets are some of the best you can get, and right now B&H Photo is selling the Intuos Pro Tablet for $120 off, bringing it down to just $150.

While we totally dig alternatives, there’s a reason Roomba has the most powerful name in robotic vacuums. The only problem for most peopole is that prohibitive price tag, but if you’re willing to buy renewed, the Roomba 980 is $60 off for Amazon’s Gold Box deal of the day.

Get one for $77 with promo code KYOKU2QL.
By the way, the knife is gorgeous, as opined by Shep McAllister in his review:
At around $100, this isn’t a budget knife by any means, but it’s not an outrageously expensive one either, and it has a lot to offer for that price, both aesthetically and practically.

The new edition of the Fitbit allows you to set up to 20 workouts based on your personal fitness goals.

The bullet sounds divine as it helps break up tension or knots and I know some backs that could surely use that. You get about two hours of relaxation between charges.
If you’ve read a few of our pieces on SideDeal before and you like what you’ve seen they offer a $4.99 monthly fee to get free shipping on all of your orders no matter how many. Otherwise, it’s a flat rate of $7.99.

The SkinStore wants you ready for fun in the sun and is offering 28% off sunscreen and SPF infused products with code SPF28 starting today.

I will personally recommend Ulta’s collaboration with Marvel for the Black Widow movie which still has items left in the line. I am using the eye shadow palette almost daily now. If it’s on-trend with their Avengers collab it won’t be available much longer and not likely to be discounted. Anything Ulta brand is good for this code but many name brands are excluded.
This code works until May 30 and free shipping on orders over $35 still applies.
So, you have the dreaded Quarantine Hair. It’s happening to all of us—my hair has faded to that see-through purple that Nintendo used on its Game Boy Color back in the day. Which is cool right now, but that’s only a step away from platinum blonde, and that’s way less cool. Anyway, if your Quarantine Hair is just something that needs a trim to be looking good again, Daily Steals can help with the ConairMAN Haircut Kit.
I don’t know why Conair had to tack MAN onto the name, but this set includes a clipper for the hair, a personal trimmer for keeping those edges clean, and a trimmer to shove up your nose and into your ears. To be honest, I didn’t think about Quarantine Nose Hair until now, and I wish I remained ignorant of it.
If you use the code KJCNAIR at checkout, you can get this three piece set (which also comes with the appropriate attachments) for $53. Not bad at all!
The fact that Too Faced has their mascara, primer, and dream cream minis in this deal makes it almost too good to pass up. Until May 12 grab four deluxe minis with any purchase over $45.
