Apple’s Cyber Monday Promotion

Apple notoriously doesn’t run sales on its own storefront. However, it does usually throw in a gift card for Apple Store credit if you purchase select items. This year, now through November 27, you can get up to $200 in Apple Store credit to use later if you purchase certain items. For example, if you buy an iPhone 14 or iPhone SE, you can get up to $75 in store credit. Buy a MacBook Air and you’ll get up to $200. You can find the full list here.

Separately, there’s also a sale on Apple gift cards on Amazon. Each one has a unique corresponding coupon code that you can see on this page. For example, you can get a $100 Apple Gift Card and a free $15 Amazon credit with code APPLET5USAP. There are tons of cards to choose from. You can browse them all here.

iPad

This is the best iPad (8/10, WIRED Recommends) for most people in our Best iPads guide. It’s not only affordable, but it also packs a ton of great features, including a True Tone display (that adjusts the color temperature to match the ambient lighting in your environment), a 12-megapixel rear camera with support for Center Stage (which keeps you in the frame on video calls), 64 gigabytes of storage on the base model, and a Touch ID-enabled home button. It’s compatible with accessories like the first-generation Apple Pencil and Apple’s Smart Keyboard.

This iPad (7/10, WIRED Review) isn’t our top choice (we recommend the ninth-gen model over this one largely due to the price). But it does pack a few notable changes. With no Home button and slimmer bezels around the screen, it has a modern design. There’s an upgraded rear camera and the selfie camera has moved to the center of the iPad for video calls. Under the hood is Apple’s A14 Bionic chip (the same that’s in the iPhone 12), so it’s more powerful than the last-gen model. It was on sale for the same price last Cyber Monday.

iPad Air

If you’re looking for an iPad that’s a bit more powerful than the ninth-gen model, we recommend the iPad Air (8/10, WIRED Recommends). It comes equipped with a 10.9-inch LCD screen, slim bezels, a USB-C port Touch ID built into the top power button, and the same M1 processor as the 2020 MacBook Air. It packs support for the Smart Keyboard Cover, Magic Keyboard Cover, along with the second-generation and USB-C Apple Pencil. It’s worth mentioning Apple might be launching a new version next year, but the M1-powered iPad Air is still a great choice.

The iPad Mini (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is our favorite tablet for travel. It’s small enough to slip into my tote bag and fits perfectly on an airplane tray table. The 8.3-inch display is great for reading ebooks, watching movies, sketching, and taking notes (it’s compatible with the second-generation and USB-C Apple Pencils). Powered by the A15 Bionic processor (the same one found in the iPhone 13), it can easily handle taxing apps and games. As with the iPad Air, Apple is rumored to be launching a next-gen version next year with a faster processor, but this is still a solid tablet if you don’t need the latest and greatest.

We’ve used this hub with iPads, but it’s also great for MacBooks. Plug it in via the USB-C port on your laptop and you’ll have access to another USB-C port for passthrough charging, a USB-A port, an HDMI output, and a headphone jack. It’s also fairly compact and thin, so it won’t add too much bulk to your laptop. It dipped to $40 back in August, but we still think this is a good deal.

Apple Pencil

The first-gen Apple Pencil has been around for a while now, but it still functions well. It packs features like pressure sensitivity (the lines get thicker as you press down harder on the screen), tilt sensitivity (for shading), and handwriting support within search fields and apps (like Notes). It’s compatible with the iPad (6th gen and later), iPad Air (3rd gen), iPad Mini (5th gen), iPad Pro 12.9-inch (1st and 2nd gen), iPad Pro 10.5-inch, and iPad Pro 9.7-inch. It dips to this price often, but we still think it’s a good deal.

This is the most feature-packed stylus Apple has to offer. It’s compatible with the iPad Air (4th gen and later), iPad Mini (6th gen), iPad Pro 11-inch (1st gen and later), and the 12.9-inch (3rd gen and later). As with the first-gen model, it comes with pressure sensitivity, tilt sensitivity, and handwriting support, plus wireless pairing and wireless charging (it’ll charge when magnetically attached to the top edge of supported iPads). There’s a double-tap feature too, which lets you switch between tools quickly by tapping on the Apple Pencil twice. It hits this low often, but it’s a solid discount if you don’t want to pay full price.

This stand often goes on sale during the holidays, but it’s still a good deal. This tablet stand is included in several WIRED guides, including the Best iPad Accessories and the Best Work-from-Home Gear. It’s portable, lightweight, and easy to use.

This adapter dongle has a 60-watt USB-C port, USB-A, MicroSD slot, SD card slot, 3.5-mm audio, and 4K 60-Hz HDMI, and it’s sleek and compact. One of the nice things about Hyper’s Apple peripherals is that they’re designed to blend in with your Apple devices, so this dongle comes in a space gray metal enclosure with rounded edges that doesn’t look out of place or stick out like a sore thumb when plugged into your iPad. Writer Jaina Grey has had one of these for years and despite frequently losing (and finding) it, it’s an everyday carry item for her and really helps turn your iPad into a portable workstation.

MacBook Pro

Photograph: Apple

It’s been less than a month since Apple released this MacBook Pro and it’s already on sale. This M3 version replaces the 13-inch MacBook Pro, which Apple no longer sells through its stores. It packs the same mini LED screen, 120-Hz refresh rate, brighter display, and 1080p webcam as the high-end versions. You’ll also get an HDMI, two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4, an SD card slot, a high-impedance headphone jack, and a MagSafe charging port. We recommend the M3 for anyone who wants some of the Pro features but doesn’t want to drop almost $2,000 to get it.

This MacBook Pro (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is less than a year old, but we only recommend it if you can find it for under $1,800. It packs all the same features as the latest version and the M2 Pro is more than capable of handling graphically demanding and intensive tasks. This is also the lowest price we’ve tracked for this specific configuration.

This M3 Pro MacBook Pro is similar to the other model that’s on sale. It just has a larger screen, a more powerful CPU, and slightly better graphics. Apple’s brand-new M3 chips are available in three different MacBook tiers—the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max (9/10, WIRED Recommends). They’re all included in our guide to the Best Laptops.

Apple’s brand-new M3 chips are available in three different MacBook tiers—the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max (9/10, WIRED Recommends). They’re all included in our guide to the Best Laptops. The M3 Pro falls in the middle as far as processing power and speed goes, but it’s still blazing fast. We recommend that you opt for the Pro if you’re a serious productivity user or content creator. This deal matches the best price we’ve seen so far.

MacBook Air

The MacBook Air (7/10, WIRED Recommends) packs a modern design complete with a MagSafe connector so the laptop won’t fly off if you accidentally trip on the cable. Thanks to the M2 chip, it also delivers plenty of power for everyday tasks, solid battery life, and a 1080p webcam. It’s dipped lower to $899 in the past, and it hits this price often, but we still think this is a solid deal. However, if you want the latest version, it’s worth noting Apple is rumored to be launching an M3-powered version of the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air next year. Keep in mind that this model drops to this sale price relatively often.

If you want a bigger screen, the 15-inch MacBook Air (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is the first large-screen option within the Air lineup. It packs all the same features as the 13-inch version including a redesigned chassis and 1080p webcam. The M2 also delivers excellent performance and solid battery life (with about 10 hours of use). For the smoothest experience, we recommend opting for 16 gigabytes of RAM if it’s in your budget. It’s also on sale for $1,449 ($250 off).

The M1-powered MacBook Air (9/10, WIRED Recommends) came out in 2020, but it’s still one of the most powerful laptops you can buy for this price. It remains our favorite budget MacBook to recommend. You’ll get great performance and battery life (it’ll easily last a full workday), an improved keyboard, and a lightweight chassis that’s great for travel. It’s worth mentioning, however, that it frequently goes on sale for this price.

Mac Mini

Photograph: Apple

The Mac Mini (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is a powerful, compact desktop. All you need to do is plug it into a monitor, pair it with your keyboard and mouse, and you’re good to go. It doesn’t pack as many ports as the version with the M2 Pro, but you’ll still get two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, two USB-A, an HDMI, a 10-gigabit Ethernet connection, and a 3.5-mm headphone jack. It’s dipped this low a few times before, but it’s still a great deal.

This is our favorite external keyboard in our Best MacBook Accessories guide, especially if you’re a fan of the Magic Keyboard on your MacBook and are looking to fully replicate your setup. This one comes with a Touch ID button, which you can use to log in, authenticate for purchases, and download apps. It also has the same function row keys as the M-series MacBooks, including playback buttons, a Mission Control Key, and a dedicated Do Not Disturb button.

With the ability to flex the stand up to 22 inches high, you can adjust this laptop stand depending on your setup—whether you’re using an external monitor or working solely off a MacBook. It’s also super compact and portable. Our only complaint is that, while you can adjust the stand’s angle up to 45 degrees, it’s too wobbly to type on if you’re using the laptop’s keyboard.

This is both an affordable and well-built monitor. WIRED reviews editor Julian Chokkattu has used it for years now and it’s served him well. While the price often dips under $100, this is a few dollars lower than we’ve tracked.

Baggu Puffy Laptop Sleeve

Photograph: Baggu

You’ll see the discount at checkout. The 16-inch version Baggu Laptop Sleeve in Sherbert Cherry looks just as cute in person as it does online. The puffiness provides plenty of protection, and the Velcro closure is strong enough you don’t have to worry the laptop will slide out. We tested it with the 15-inch MacBook Air, which left space to squeeze a keyboard and mouse into the sleeve as well. There’s also a 13-inch/14-inch version for those who have smaller MacBooks or want a sleeve for their iPads.

Speck’s Smartshell case has the proper cutouts for ports and rubberized feet to keep your machine in place. You can throw it in your backpack, tote, or duffle bag without worrying about damaging your machine. We tested it with the 14-inch MacBook Pro but it’s also available for a wide range of MacBook models. It’s worth noting, that the hardshell isn’t scratch-resistant (despite Speck’s claims)—we’ve noticed a few scrapes on ours here and there, but it’s not too noticeable.

This keyboard is a runner-up in our Best MacBook Accessories guide. It mimics the MacBook keyboard with a Do Not Disturb key, and the ability to program the function row key with Apple’s own apps like Final Cut Pro, Photos, Safari, and more, using the Logi Options+ app—in addition to other Mac-specific shortcuts. It’s only available with Tactile Quiet switches, but these are ideal if you typically work around other people and don’t want to disturb them.

This microfiber mat will keep your desk looking nice and clean. It also doubles as a giant mousepad. It only comes in black, but it’s a great option if you’re looking for a desk mat that’s minimalist and affordable.

Incase Hardshell Case Dots

Photograph: Incase

This is currently our favorite MacBook case. We tested it with the 16-inch MacBook Pro (2021), but it’s available for a few MacBook models. It has rubberized feet that prevent it from sliding, precise cutouts for all ports, and ventilation to keep the MacBook from overheating.

The Das Keyboard MacTigr (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is expensive, but it’s great for those in the Apple ecosystem with a dedicated Mac layout. It also has cherry MX Red switches (that don’t get too loud), a two-port USB-C hub, and a high-quality all-metal build.

Photograph: Keychron

This is WIRED reviews editor Julian Chokkattu’s current daily keyboard. You can use it wired or wirelessly via Bluetooth and it comes in several colors and switches to pick from (it’s also RGB-backlit). The red switches aren’t very loud but are still clicky, and there’s a great knob for volume control. It’s hot-swappable too, so you can change the switches whenever you’d like.

If you prefer low-profile keys, the K3 Pro is a solid choice. The keys have a tactile click, RGB lighting, and you’ll get around four to five days of battery life (with the ability to charge it via the USB-C charging port). You’ll also get support for Via too, if you want additional software customization.

This is WIRED reviews editor Julian Chokkattu’s favorite portable monitor. It’s a great second screen that doesn’t take up any desk space, but it does require sticking adhesive magnets onto your laptop. It’s best suited for 13- to 14-inch laptops and is best for apps like Slack rather than anything that needs crisp colors. It drops to this price often, but is still a good deal.

Read our Best Apple Watch guide for an overview of the company’s smartwatches.

Apple Watch Series 9

Photograph: Apple

The Series 9 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is the latest Apple Watch. If you’re looking to upgrade, it offers faster performance, improved battery life, and a brighter display. There’s also a new Double Tap feature that will trigger functions like playing music or hanging up a call by tapping your index finger and thumb. With the second-gen ultra-wideband chip, you can precision-locate your iPhone and AirPods too.

If you don’t need all the in-depth capabilities that come with the Apple Watch Series 9, the second-generation Apple Watch SE is a great alternative. It still tracks crucial health and fitness features, and with the S8 chip, you’ll also get Crash Detection and the redesigned Compass app. It has support for WatchOS 10 too, so you’ll have access to the latest software updates.

The second-gen Apple Watch Ultra (8/10, WIRED Recommends) packs a brighter 3,000-nit display, the latest S9 chip, and the new ultra-wideband chip for precision-locating your phone. You still get the useful Action button, the three-mic array, and the precise GPS so you can find your way home. It’s the Apple Watch with the best battery life thanks to its gigantic size.

Powerbeats Pro

Photograph: Beats

The Powerbeats Pro (8/10, WIRED Recommends) are older (they came out in 2019), but they’re still our top pick for earbuds with the most secure fit—making these a great option to workout with. They have an IPX4 water-resistance rating too, which means they’ll stay protected from sweat. These buds deliver excellent sound quality and pack nine hours of battery life (with an extra 18 hours in the case). Many of the features won’t work with an Android phone, but the core features will.

The Beats Studio Pro Wireless Headphones (7/10, WIRED Review) pack excellent noise canceling, good sound quality, and great wireless range. They also offer a stable fit and compact design. They are missing a few key features though, including multi-band EQ and sensors for auto-pause. But improved sound quality and active noise canceling, as well as a few neat features for both Apple and Android devices, make these a good option—especially on sale. They’re $10 cheaper than they were on Prime Day, making this the lowest price we’ve tracked.

The Beats Fit Pro (9/10, WIRED Recommends) deliver great sound and a comfortable fit. With Apple’s proprietary H1 chip, they work like AirPods when used with an iPhone. But they also work great with Android, complete with an app that allows you to customize the controls and perform a fit test. These have dipped as low as $159 in the past, but this is still a good discount.

AirPods Pro

Photograph: Apple

Apple just launched these AirPods (9/10, WIRED Recommends) back in September, and they’re already on sale. They’re identical to the old pair on the outside but pack some internal upgrades. In addition to slightly improved sound, there’s also a new Conversation Awareness mode (that turns the music down and boosts Transparency mode so you can hear someone talking to you).

Anker MagGo 637

Photograph: Anker

Simply stick your iPhone to this cute little orb and it’ll start charging. Flip over to the back, and you’ll find two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, and three AC outlets. It’s a compact and tidy charger, and our unit has been going strong for more than two years. It fluctuates in price very often, and it’s hit as low as $60 in the past, but we still think this is a good deal.

This power bank is one of our favorites if you’re looking for an upgrade. It has an absolutely gargantuan 24,000-mAh capacity, and it can be charged up in an hour. It can output up to 140W, making it powerful enough to charge laptops and tablets, as well as charging your phone super quick.

This is a great charger if you travel often with an iPhone and Apple Watch. Instead of packing two separate chargers, the Duo offers the luxury of both all within a compact, foldable form factor. You can use it to charge your AirPods (as long as it comes with a wireless charging case) and other Qi-certified devices too.

Photograph: Zendure

The Zendure SuperTank Pro is the largest portable battery you can get away with taking onto an airplane. Which is why it’s our favorite for air travel. With a 26,800-mAh capacity, four USB ports, and up to 100 watts in or out, it’s the only portable power bank you’ll need for every device on even extremely long flights. Plus it kinda looks like a mini carry-on suitcase, that’s neat. Just be sure to click the coupon button to get the full deal.

This is a great power bank if you don’t want to carry a cable around. It comes complete with a built-in rotating USB-C or Lightning connector (MFi certified) that slots into the bottom of your phone. It also packs a 5,000-mAh capacity and a USB-C port for recharging it (complete with a short cable). We don’t recommend it if you have a thick case on your phone, though.

The best 2-in-1 stand in our Best Apple 3-in-1 Wireless Chargers guide has a MagSafe spot to charge your iPhone at top speed (up to 15 watts) and a recessed spot below for your AirPods case. It holds your iPhone in portrait or landscape orientation, which is great for StandBy. It’s not a huge discount, but we’ve never seen it cheaper.

Belkin 3-in-1 Wireless Charger

Photograph: Belkin

This is our top charger in our Best Apple 3-in-1 Wireless Chargers guide. With a T-shaped design that suspends two of your devices midair, it’s compact enough that it won’t take up too much space. You can use it to charge your iPhone (at the fastest 15-watt charging speed Apple allows), fast-charge the Apple Watch Series 7/8/9/Ultra, and use the base to power up your AirPods Pro (or AirPods with a wireless charging case) simultaneously all from a single outlet. It dipped as low as $100 back in August, but this is still a great deal.

We like Anker’s chargers and its Prime range employs GaN technology to shrink the size down. This 67-watt charger has fold-out prongs and offers two USB-C ports and one USB-A. It supports fast charging for iPhones (in addition to Pixel phones and Samsung Galaxy phones) but can also charge a MacBook.

Photograph: Satechi

This handy charger has enough power to juice up two MacBook Pro models simultaneously. But it’s also great if you have a lot of devices around your desk that constantly need to be charged. It has a little stand to prop it up, a short cord that goes out to an outlet, and four USB-C ports that output 100 watts each. This is the lowest price we’ve tracked.

Click the coupon button to see the discount at checkout. We recommend this Baseus charger if you’re looking for a high-capacity option. With a 10,000-mAh capacity, WIRED contributor Simon Hill says it charged his iPhone 14 Pro once and then delivered an additional 64 percent the second time before tapping out. It comes with a USB-C cable too. The 6,000-mAh version is also on sale for $30 ($20 off). These deals are only applicable to Amazon Prime members.

Apple 35-Watt Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter

Photograph: Apple

If you tend to forget to pack chargers for your devices, Apple’s dual USB-C port power adapter is an essential accessory. With two USB-C ports, you can use it to recharge both your MacBook and iPhone simultaneously. Rated at 35 watts, it’s also powerful enough to recharge an iPhone 15 Pro Max or iPad Pro.

This is one of our favorite MagSafe wireless chargers. It delivers the maximum 15-watt charging speed possible, sits securely on your desk, and can charge an Apple Watch too. It doesn’t come with a power adapter, but it does include a USB-C-to-USB-C cable.

If you prefer a mount on your dash or windshield and have an iPhone 12 or later, iOttie’s Velox Pro Magnetic Wireless Cooling Charger is a great option. The suction cup attaches to a windshield or dashboard pad (and proved secure in our testing) and the telescopic arm delivers a wide range of movement for the ideal position. It only maxes out at 7.5 watts for charging, but the USB-C charging cable can be removed when the iPhone is fully charged. There’s also a built-in fan that helps keep the temperature down when it’s hot out.

Courant Catch:2

Photograph: Courant

This is a great wireless charger if you’re looking for a stylish option to match your interior decor. The Belgian linen-wrapped surface comes in a variety of muted tones including camel, charcoal, forest, and natural. It can charge two devices simultaneously, but you do have to be precise when placing your phone on it. There are LED lights that show when it’s charging and the rubber feet prevent the charging pad from shifting around.

If you need a charger for just your iPhone and AirPods, this is our favorite 2-in-1 stand. It has a MagSafe spot to charge your iPhone at top speed (up to 15 watts) and a spot below for your AirPods. It holds your iPhone in portrait or landscape orientation too, which is great for StandBy mode. It’s not a huge discount, but this is the lowest price we’ve seen.

This charger packs two USB-C ports, one of which can output 65 watts when used alone. If you plug two devices in, the top will deliver 45 watts and the bottom can do 20 watts. It also folds up and looks super sleek.

Satechi Duo Wireless Charger Stand and Power Bank

Photograph: Satechi

Click the coupon button to see the full discount at checkout. The Satechi Duo combines the convenience of wireless charging with the portability of a power bank. It has a 10,000-mAh capacity (complete with LEDs to show you how much juice you have left) and can wirelessly charge both your phone and a wireless earbuds case (as long as it’s Qi-certified). There’s also a USB-C port to power up a third device. The only gripe we have is that it’s slow—delivering 10 watts of wireless charging power for phones (7.5 watts for iPhones), 5 watts for earbuds, and 10 watts via the USB-C port.

This travel kit from ESR works well if you want something that can prop your iPhone in portrait or landscape orientation. It can also display your Apple Watch in Nightstand mode, so you can peek and see how long before you must get out of bed. The main body folds open with a MagSafe charging pad for your iPhone and a slot behind for your AirPods. Unfortunately, it doesn’t support fast charging and it’s capped at 7.5 watts and 5 watts for the iPhone and Apple Watch, respectively. But it’s a good, affordable charger. It dipped lower to $40 back in July, but this is still a solid deal.

Satechi’s four-port hub is a little too large, considering the number of ports you get, but there’s a good reason for that. Pop off the aluminum cover and you’ll find a slot for an M.2 SATA solid-state storage drive slot. That means access to an external SSD, along with two USB-A jacks, one 100-watt USB-C pass-through charging port, and a 4K HDMI at the same time. I did not have an M.2 SATA drive to test, but this 1-terabyte card should work. Just know that Satechi’s hub does not support NVME M.2 cards.

Photograph: Otterbox

This is our Runner-Up pick in our guide to the Best Apple 3-in-1 Wireless Chargers. It can charge all your Apple devices at top speed and comes with a 6.6-foot cable and a 36-watt wall charger.

Apple hasn’t nixed the charging adapter from its iPads yet, but it probably won’t be long before you’ll need to start buying your own. Or maybe you just want a spare for another room. I like this tiny adapter from Anker. The 30 watts can fast-charge the iPad Pro despite the compact size and the plug folds in, making it a nice option to take on the go.

What we like best about this phone mount is that you can use it one-handed. The arms automatically close around the phone when you place it against the trigger button. To remove it, press the release bars. There’s also a telescopic arm and ball joint that allows you to tweak the placement and set an ideal angle. We also love the clever magnetic tab that attaches the charging cable to the back of the mount, to keep from having to fish around for it. Plus, it’s super sturdy—even on bumpy roads.

Lume Cube Mobile Creator Kit 2.0

Photograph: Lume Cube

This kit comes with a Lume Cube light, a compact tripod (that opens up to 55 inches in length), a shotgun mic with a windscreen, and a universal phone mount with clips to attach all these accessories. It’s a great and convenient all-in-one solution if you shoot content with your smartphone.

Otterbox is the first name in super-protective phone cases, and it features in our Best Galaxy S23 Cases, Best iPhone 15 Cases, guides along with many others. Over the years, several people on the WIRED Gear Team have had and tested Otterbox cases, we can definitely speak to their reputation for durability. Otterbox also makes one of our favorite Apple 3-in-1 chargers. Everything on its site is 25 percent off.

This is our favorite way to mount an iPhone to a bike or scooter. Or pretty much anything that’s a rod. It sits secure, and you have to pair it with a Peak Design SlimLink case for added security—your MagSafe iPhone won’t fly off even if you go over a deep pothole. Other MagSafe accessories from the company are also on sale, like the Car Vent Mount, which we also really like.

Apple’s AirTags are a handy way to keep track of your stuff (as long as you’re careful to make sure you’re not being tracked without your permission). These often go on sale, but if you’re itching to pick up a pack of them, now’s as good a time as any.

Apple’s official MagSafe case has accurate cutouts for ports, clicky buttons, and it protects the entire bottom edge of the phone. It comes in a variety of colors too. Select colors are also on sale for the iPhone 15 Pro Max for the same price.

This collab between the two brands brings the rugged design from Nomad’s cases and the SlimLink MagSafe mount system from Peak Design. It’s a great combo that gives you more security when mounting your iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Tired of people glancing at your display in public? The Glass Elite Privacy 360 will block anyone from seeing content on your screen from the sides. It feels great and is easy to apply too. Our only complaint is that Zagg’s screen protectors are typically expensive. This has hit as low as $24, but it’s a good screen protector if you need one for your iPhone 14. Other sizes (for the iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max) are also on sale.

Totallee Thin iPhone Cases

You won’t get the most protection from Totallee’s cases, but they’re some of the thinnest on the market. It will keep your handset safe from everyday scuffs without adding too much bulk. These cases are available for a variety of iPhone models.

If you have an iPhone 14 or earlier, you can never own too many Lightning cables. These cables from Nomad are durable, come with the choice between USB-C and USB-A for the other end, and are available in different lengths.

We’re fans of Incipio cases—we’ve included them in our Best iPhones 15 Cases and Best Samsung Galaxy S23 Cases guides. For Cyber Monday, the company is offering up to 50 percent off a wide selection of cases and accessories.

We named this the best iPad folio case we’ve ever tested. Why? It’s durable, with a lip around the edges of the screen that protects the expensive glass if dropped, and the buttons feel solid, yet easy to use. The magnetized cover stays securely shut, and it can be reversed to become a stand in eight different angles. Don’t have a 2022 10.9-inch iPad? No problem. There are cases to fit lots of iPads, even those several years old, and most of them are also on sale.

Never mind that it’s wool—it actually is easy to clean, as reviewer Brenda Stolyar found out while testing it underneath her laptop, keyboard, notebook, and coffee mug. There’s a lot of real estate, and it comes in a variety of colors. It’s why we called it the best overall desk mat on the market. There’s a pricier version with cork on the bottom, if you think the regular, felt-bottomed version will slip around on the desk—say, if you’re using a glass table.

This is one of our favorite MagSafe phone grips. It magnetically sticks to the back of your iPhone and you can pop out the grip for extra stability. You can just take it off to wirelessly charge your device.

This cable can do it all, which is why it’s currently sitting at the top of our Best USB-C Cables guide. It can deliver 100 watts, transfer data at up to 40 Gbps, and serve an 8K display (or two 4K displays). It supports DisplayPort Alt Mode (DP Alt Mode), USB Power Delivery (USB-PD), and PPS, and it is backward-compatible with all earlier standards. It’s pricey, even with the discount, but it rarely dips this low. This is also the longest size; the shorter one is also on sale.

The Creator Kit acts as the link between your phone and various mounting solutions. It comes with a magnetic locking mount that works with the Peak Design SlimLink phone case and a few different mounting options including a Peak Design Arca quick-release plate, a GoPro mount adapter, and a 1/4-inch tripod mount. That way, you can easily mount it on almost any tripod. Your phone (with the case protecting it) will slot easily into the SlimLink mount and stay secure.

What About iPhone Deals?

You typically won’t see many iPhone deals. Those sales usually come from carriers like AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile, and have several requirements, like being on an unlimited plan or opening a new cell line. If you’re in the market for a new iPhone, we’ve laid out a few deals on older unlocked models here, along with some carrier promotions.

Published November 26, 2023: We’ve updated prices throughout for Cyber Monday sales, and added a few more deals including the Otterbox sale, HyperDrive 6-in-1 Dongle, and Macbook Pro 16-inch laptop.

Get Smart With These Nest and Google Pixel Cyber Monday Deals

by crissly | Nov 27, 2023 | Uncategorized

Google makes some of our favorite Android phones—its Pixels have some of the best cameras, along with slick software and tons of useful smart features. That includes Call Screen, which can greatly reduce the number of spam calls you get in a given day. But Google doesn’t just make phones—it has tablets and smartwatches, its Nest division churns out smart home devices from security cameras to video doorbells, and it owns Fitbit too. Whether you need a new fitness tracker or you’ve been eyeing the Pixel Tablet, we’ve rounded up the best Cyber Monday deals on Google hardware right here.

We test products year-round and handpicked these deals. The discount amounts we show are based on actual street prices at retailers in the past few months. Products that are sold out or no longer discounted as of publishing will be crossed out.

Google Pixel 7A

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu

The Google Pixel 7A (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is our favorite Pixel phone and the best Android phone for most people. It has great value when it’s full-price, so this discount makes it extra enticing. It’s snappy, powerful, water-resistant, and capable of charging wirelessly. Google upgraded the AMOLED screen so it gets brighter now, plus it has a 90-Hz screen refresh rate for buttery smooth animations. The upgraded dual-camera system is great too. This device will get two more Android OS updates (it already received Android 14) and five years of security updates. The main downside? Battery life is just OK.

Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu

The Pixel 8 (7/10, WIRED Review) is Google’s newest flagship phone. It’s good! It performs well, the camera is fantastic, and the performance is snappy. The 6.2-inch display is super bright, and Google has finally added secure Face Unlock, so you can use your mug to access sensitive apps like your banking app. The biggest change? It will receive a whopping seven years of software updates—and Google will have spare parts for repairs for that length of time too. That’s the longest support you’ll find on any Android phone—period. It’s a shame the battery life is so-so.

Google Pixel 8 Pro

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu

The Pixel 8 Pro is the bigger sibling to the Pixel 8, which means a larger 6.7-inch screen and a bigger battery. This phone also packs a 5X optical zoom camera, which is handy when you want to capture a photo of your kids running on the soccer pitch from the bleachers. There are some additional perks in this model, including autofocus on the front camera so no more fuzzy selfies, an improved macro focus mode for close-ups, and it will receive exclusive access to Video Boost, an upcoming feature that promises to greatly improve the quality of low-light video clips.

Google Pixel Fold

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu

The Pixel Fold is our favorite book-like folding phone (8/10, WIRED Recommends). The front screen is nice and wide, so you can use it comfortably with all your favorite apps. Open it up and you get a much larger 7.6-inch screen for multitasking. There’s a persistent taskbar that sits along the bottom and you can drag apps to each side of the screen for quick split-screen capabilities. Google’s software smarts are here, along with its excellent cameras (including a 5X optical zoom!), making this one of the best folding phones right now. Too bad it doesn’t get the same seven-year software update promise as the Pixel 8.

Google Pixel Tablet

Photograph: Google

Wish you could actually use your smart display for anything more than asking for the weather report? Always finding your tablet devoid of battery life because you forgot to plug it in? The Google Pixel Tablet (7/10, WIRED Recommends) solves all of these problems with its two-in-one design. It rests on a speaker dock, which is also how it charges wirelessly. On this dock, you can use it like a smart display to control your smart home devices or just ask Google Assistant anything, and the three far-field mics do a pretty good job of catching the “Hey Google” wake word.

Take it off the dock, however, and it’s a fully-fledged Android tablet. Performance is pretty good, and up to eight people can set up a profile—locked behind their own fingerprint—so everyone in the family can use it with their own home screen design and apps. You can also buy a spare charging dock if you want to leave it in another room—so you’ll always have a place to charge it.

Pixel Buds A-Series

Photograph: Google

Google’s Pixel Buds A-Series (8/10, WIRED Recommends) are our favorite earbuds for the money thanks to a neat package that fits well, sounds good, and costs less than plenty of competitors. There’s Google Assistant embedded too, so you can ask it to read notifications or for the weather without having to pull your phone out. They don’t have noise canceling, which is slowly becoming standard fare in the sub-$100 category of wireless earbuds, but this sale pushes them close to half the original cost, making them a killer bargain.

Google Pixel Buds Pro

Photograph: Google

Google’s Pixel Buds Pro (9/10, WIRED Recommends) offer are a step up with active noise canceling tech that does a pretty great job of isolating the world around you. Google recently rolled out a firmware upgrade that added new features like Clear Calling for better voice calls, and a Conversation Detection mode that understands when you’re speaking—it turns down the music and turns on transparency mode so you can hear the person you’re speaking with. They’re not as useful for iPhone owners, but Android users will find a nifty and comfortable design and optimized extras at a nice price.

Smartwatch and Fitness Tracker Deals

Check out our Best Smartwatches and Best Fitbits guides for more.

Google Pixel Watch

Photograph: Google

The original Pixel Watch is still one of the best-looking smartwatches around. It’s been eclipsed by the Pixel Watch 2, which has a faster charging speed, speedier performance, and a more accurate heart rate sensor. But the first-gen model isn’t a bad buy at this price. Definitely look around to see if you can find the second-gen on sites like eBay first though—brand-new models are going for around $250.

Fitbit Charge 6

Photograph: Fitbit

The Fitbit Charge 6 (7/10, WIRED Review) is the newest fitness tracker from Fitbit and it’s our favorite for most people. This price is the best we’ve seen considering it’s so new. It’s a simple and focused fitness tracker with a pretty robust suite of health metrics—you can track your heart rate, electrocardiogram, and SpO2—and Fitbit has some of the best sleep tracking you’ll find in a wearable. There are more Google apps on here than ever, including YouTube Music, Google Maps, and Google Wallet, so you can make payments with the band. However, the companion app leaves a bit to be desired, there’s no fall detection, and Bluetooth connectivity is glitchy. You should also be aware that to access every feature, you’ll need a Fitbit Premium subscription, which is $10 per month. (A free 6-month trial is included with your purchase.)

Fitbit Inspire 3

Photograph: Amazon

The Fitbit Inspire 3 offers the best battery life you can get on a Fitbit right now: up to 10 days, depending on how you use it. However, the display is a bit too small for our liking, it doesn’t have the same Google integrations as the Charge 6, and lacks health features like the ECG. You’re likely better off going for the Charge 6 since it’s just $30 more right now, but if your budget is tight and you just want a simple and reliable tracker, this will do.

Fitbit Versa 4

Photograph: Fitbit

We make no bones about it. The Versa 4 is the best Fitbit smartwatch, as we say in our Best Fitbits guide. The six-day battery life is impressive (don’t leave the display on the entire time). The vibrant, 1.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen is easy and snappy to use, and the old third-party apps have been replaced by Google apps, such as Google Maps. Built-in Google Assistant joins Amazon’s Alexa, and GPS and Fitbit’s latest PurePulse heart-rate sensor round out the rich features list. It’s not as fully featured as a Pixel Watch, but you might be fine with that as it means you won’t have to charge it every day.

Nest Deals

Read our Best Indoor Security Cameras, Best Outdoor Security Cameras, Best Smart Displays, and Best Video Doorbells guides for more information.

Nest Cam (Wired, Indoor)

Photograph: Nest

The smartest indoor security camera you can get, Google’s Nest Cam blends in easily and accurately detects people, animals, and vehicles. This one is only rated for indoors and doesn’t have a battery, so you’ll need to plug it in. It boasts HDR and a high frame rate to make the most of the 1080p footage. Sadly, you only get three hours of history unless you subscribe to Nest Aware starting from a pricey $6 per month, though it does also include familiar face recognition.

Nest Cam (Outdoor, Battery)

Photograph: Nest

This battery-operated version comes with a magnetic mount. Affix the mount—you can place it outside as this camera is rated for outdoor use—and you can pop the camera on via the magnets. That means it’s easy to take off when you need to recharge it (a little more than a month). Just make sure it’s high enough that thieves can’t steal it. You get 1080p video, HDR support, and a 130-degree field of view. There’s a version with motion-detected floodlights also on sale for $190 ($110 off), but it’s not battery-operated—you need to hardwire it.

Nest Video Doorbell

Photograph: Google

We tested several video doorbells and the Nest Video Doorbell outclassed them all to be our favorite. That’s thanks to its reliable performance, snappy alerts, and solid video resolution and HDR capabilities. Since this one is battery-operated, you’ll need to recharge it (a little more than once a month). (The wired version is not on sale, sadly.) You don’t need a subscription, but subscribing to Nest Aware ($8 per month) gives you a 30-day recording history.

Nest Hub

Photograph: Google

Listen, Google hasn’t made the best case for smart displays—it ended support for third-party displays recently. However, it has continually updated its first-party Nest Hubs, and while it has since introduced the Pixel Tablet as a more future-forward version of a smart display, that slate starts at $499. At $50, a smart display like this is a nice way to see visual alerts about the weather, your commute, and even responses to queries like, “Can dogs eat onions?” (No, the answer is no.) This 2nd-gen Nest Hub (7/10, WIRED Recommends) doesn’t have a camera, so you have some privacy. It’s compact with a 7-inch screen, and it has sleep-sensing tech to track your sleep quality (though this isn’t its strongest feature).

Nest Hub Max

Photograph: Best Buy

The Nest Hub Max (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is getting a bit old now, but it’s still a sufficient smart display. The larger 10-inch screen size is more helpful in the kitchen, where you can use it to follow recipes (or honestly, just to find out how many tablespoons are in a cup). This one has a camera, so you can also use it for video calls via apps like Google Meet or Zoom. This camera can also be used to detect gestures—just hold your palm up at the camera to pause music. No need to yell over them tunes. Also, the speakers are better. Yay! When you’re not using it, these smart displays can double as a digital photo frame if you’re a Google Photos user.

Nest Wifi Pro

Photograph: Google

The Nest Wifi Pro (7/10, WIRED Recommends) might not be our absolute favorite mesh router, but if you’re in the Google ecosystem and you want a super simple router you don’t want to fuss with, it’s a good bet. Easy to set and forget, it employs the 6-GHz band for backhaul and has support for Wi-Fi 6E—which makes it futureproof for a long time. Each unit covers 2,200 square feet and can connect up to 100 devices. Sadly, they are not backward compatible with older Nest routers.

Other Google Accessories

Google Chromecast With Google TV 4K

Photograph: Google

• Google Chromecast with Google TV 4K for $38 ($12 off): Plug this streaming dongle (8/10, WIRED Recommends) into your TV and you’ll get a nice interface and access to all the top streaming services. It comes with a remote and built-in Google Assistant, so you can just ask it to pull up a movie (or even control your smart home devices). You can still cast to it from your phone or laptop. The HD version is also on sale for $20 ($10 off).
• Nest X Yale Lock Smart Lock for $199 ($50 off): We haven’t tested this model, but it’s long been a well-reviewed and popular model made in collaboration with Yale (with easy installation).
• Nest Thermostat for $90 ($40 off): Another one we haven’t tested yet, this one isn’t as smart as the Nest Learning Thermostat (not on sale), which can remember your routines, but it’s still reportedly simple to install and makes it easy to control your home’s heating and cooling whether you’re home or not.
• Google Pixel Stand Gen 2 Wireless Charger for $59 ($20 off): This is a nice wireless charger to have if you have a Pixel phone. It recharges the Pixel 6, Pixel 7, and Pixel 8 models at the fastest speeds possible (the Pro models included), and it can also trigger a Bedtime Routine with Do Not Disturb, handy to make sure you’re off your phone when you get into bed. It can double as a sunrise alarm with your Pixel right before your alarm rings too.
• Google Pixel 8 Pro Case for $20 ($15 off): This deal is only on the Pixel 8 Pro case, but this is one of its best to date. It has a bit of heft to it, there are metal button cutouts, and the silicone feels nice.
• Totallee Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro Case for $20 ($19 off): Hate cases? These thin cases might be up your alley, and they’re clear too, so they’ll let your Pixel phone’s color shine through. Don’t expect ‘em to protect your device from a drop, but it’ll keep away everyday scuffs.
• Mous Limitless 5.0 MagSafe Case for $26+ ($39 off): This case is on sale at varying discounts for the Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 8, and Pixel 8 Pro. It adds MagSafe capabilities to the Pixel, meaning there’s a ring of magnets embedded into the case, allowing you to use MagSafe accessories like wireless chargers or mounts originally intended for the iPhone with your Pixel. (We have more details about it here.)

Don’t Tell These 196 Black Friday Deals That It’s Saturday

by crissly | Nov 26, 2023 | Uncategorized

Black Friday is over. Well, sorta. It’s Saturday now, but there are lots of Black Friday deals still available—most more appealing than the leftover turkey turning vaguely green in your fridge.

WIRED’s gear team spends all year combing the internet to bring you the best discounts on smartphones, laptops, iPads, headphones, battery chargers, Baldos and plenty more WIRED-approved gear. We have dozens of deals posts broken up by category which you can find linked below but this post is where we put our very favorite deals from across genres. We’ll update this post throughout the weekend with more deals as we find them. We last updated it on Saturday, November 25, 2023, at 11:40 pm.

We test products year-round and handpicked these deals. The discount amounts we show are based on actual street prices at retailers in the past few months. Products that are sold out or no longer discounted as of publishing will be crossed out. We’ll update this guide periodically.

Table of Contents

This is the best Amazon Fire tablet for younger kids. It’s the same tablet as the “normal” Fire HD 8 which our reviewer lauded for its better battery life and faster processor than its predecessor (6/10, WIRED Review). The only difference is that the Kids Edition comes with a rugged case and a two-year worry-free guarantee. If your kid chucks it down the stairs into a mop bucket, or flings their tablet out the window because Bluey stopped playing, Amazon will replace the tablet for free.

If you’ve got older kids (about 8 and up), the Fire HD 10 Kids Pro Edition has a less bulky case and more app options. It still has plenty of parental controls in the settings, and the recent update gave it a speedier processor to better handle HD video and games. The discount is not as good as the Fire HD 8 above, but this is the better choice for older kids.

Amazon offers its biggest discounts on its own hardware on Prime Day, but can’t ignore the Black Friday bonanza. The Amazon Kindle Scribe (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is normally a bit expensive for our tastes, but this sale knocks it firmly within a reasonable buy price for us. It comes with a stylus that lets you write notes and mark up PDFs, and it has excellent battery life.

Photograph: Best Buy

The Fire HD 10 is still our very favorite Fire tablet. This version got a minor speed update a couple of months ago, making it marginally snappier than the previous version. We like the Fire HD 10 for its larger screen—there’s more room to consume that fire hose of Amazon content you’ve been seeking (this Garry Winogrand documentary is very good if you’re looking for something). If you want to try to work on your Fire, grab the new Keyboard Case bundle ($60 off). As always we suggest spending the extra few bucks to get a tablet without advertisements on the lockscreen.

The best value in Amazon Fire tablets, the Fire HD 8 is an even better value at this price. (just $5 off the lowest price we’ve seen). The screen isn’t as roomy as on the 10, but this one is smaller, making it nice for traveling or reading a book. Most people are probably better off forking over the extra $20 to get the discounted Fire HD 10 though and we support that decision after having tested and reviewed both.

This is a big discount on the Amazon Kids Echo Dot, which we love as an Alexa-powered speaker for (you guessed it) kids. Both the dragon and owl designs are a little over half off, making it a much safer purchase to put in a playroom.

Our reviewer Scott Gilbertson gave this version of the Fire tablet a 5/10 which obviously doesn’t look great. However, if you consult the little infobox on any WIRED review you’ll see a 5/10 means its “Recommended with reservations.” Scott’s reservations? “Expensive for what you get…” Not today, folks! Happy Saturday after Black Friday. He also points out that “Fire OS is a dumpster fire of an operating system” but of course, that’s true of every Fire tablet and you’re shopping for Fire tablets.

Check out our Best Office Chairs guide and our Work-From-Home Gear guide for more picks.

The Zeph looks like it’s a choice for aesthetics rather than comfort. Especially since it’s made of plastic, and the only adjustment you can make is moving it up or down. But WIRED editor Julian Chokkattu found it quite comfortable. After a month of sitting in it, he says, it was still supportive for his 6’4″ frame, and it can even double as a fine-enough recliner. He recommends adding on the seat pad and arms, which will run the sale price up to $516 ($129 off, so still a good deal).

If you’re looking for luxury in your office chair, this is the one to buy. WIRED editor Julian Chokkattu says it can take a few weeks to get used to it, but it’s worthwhile. The upright positioning supports your back, and the initially rigid seat will become more comfortable over time. It’s one of the most adjustable chairs around, allowing you to pull out the seat, change the height and angle of the armrests, and change the Backfit adjustment to fit your spine perfectly. Note: You’ll need to choose a graphite frame and medley upholstery to see the lowest price.

X-Chair X2

Photograph: X-Chair 

If you need a wide seat and your room tends to run hot, then get this X-Chair. The all-mesh design allows for excellent airflow, whisking your body heat away so that you don’t end up sweaty. It’s comfy, like sitting on a hammock, and well-built.

This is our favorite office chair. It’s easy to assemble and there are tons of little tweaks you can make to dial it the fit. You can push the armrest back and forward, up and down; the seat can extend out or be pushed all the way in; you can lock the recline. There’s even adjustable lumbar support. Fair warning though: Pet hair tends to cling to the upholstery, and I’ve noticed the fabric on the front end of the seat tends to pill quite quickly, but this is a great deal on an excellent chair.

Photograph: Branch

Take everything about the Branch Ergonomic Chair and upgrade it a notch—that’s the Branch Verve. It looks more elegant (especially in the lovely Coral color), it keeps my back straighter, it’s quite comfy, and it can make nearly the same adjustments with a higher level of polish. Branch’s Ergonomic Chair is excellent for most people, but the Verve is the more refined seat if your budget can stretch.

This deal features a pretty good standing desk we’ve been testing. It comes in two size options, and it’s fairly simple to operate. It’s stable, looks great, and is quiet. You can attach various accessories easily, like a cable organizer and a drawer.

This is the luxe standing desk in our Best Work From Home Gear guide. It’s very roomy, has height presets, and it’s really stable. It’s pricey, but dual motors shift the desk up and down quickly, quietly, and with zero wobbles. It has a range of 25 to 52 inches tall, and there’s a hole to route your cables.

Photograph: Eero

If you’re battling Wi-Fi dead zones in your house, a mesh router can help. Eero’s Pro 6E (7/10, WIRED Recommends) makes setup as simple and hands-off as possible, each unit should cover 2,000 square feet, and you can mix and match with other Eeros. The brand’s subscription is pricey at $10 a month, and includes nice extras like parental controls and network security, but you don’t have to subscribe for it to work. You can also pick up a 2-pack for $180 ($120 off) or a 3-pack for $400 ($150 off).

Photograph: Sony

Sony’s WH-1000XM4 headphones (9/10, WIRED Recommends) have been a stalwart pair of wireless headphones for years now, and there’s no secret to their success. Offering excellent noise canceling, warm and detailed sound, and a ton of modern features in a comfy design, they’re among the best travel headphones you can buy.

Bose’s aptly named QuietComfort Ultra (9/10, WIRED Recommends) arrived in October with only one notable problem: they’re very pricey. Luckily they’ve already gotten a discount, which makes it easier to land their class-leading noise canceling, great sound, and luxuriously comfy design that’s loaded with modern features.

Google Pixel Buds Pro

Photograph: Google

Google’s Pixel Buds Pro (9/10, WIRED Recommends) offer everything we liked about the original version with some notable upgrades, including ramped-up bass, more features, and solid noise canceling. They’re not as useful for iPhone owners, but Android users will find a nifty and comfortable design and optimized extras at a nice price.

Google’s Pixel Buds A-Series (8/10, WIRED Recommends) are our favorite earbuds for the money thanks to a neat package that fits well, sounds good, and costs less than plenty of competitors. They don’t have noise canceling which we’re starting to see pretty regularly in this price class, but this sale pushes them close to half the original cost for a killer bargain.

This isn’t the latest version of the Sonos Move (the company released a second-gen model back in September), but we recommend it regardless. It’s also almost half the cost of the Move 2. The first-gen Move packs Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, 11 hours of battery life, built-in microphones with support for Google Assistant or Alexa, and Automatic Trueplay (which equalizes audio depending on the environment). It’s dipped this low a few times before, but it’s still a good deal. Sonos has a few more speakers and soundbars on sale, which you can read about in our roundup of the best Sonos deals.

We recommend the Sonos Sub (Gen 3) if your giftee wants to upgrade their bass. The third-gen model packs better processing power and more memory. It’s also meant to be paired with Sonos’ non-portable options—like soundbars, speakers, and amplifiers (it won’t pair with the Move, Roam, Port, or Connect). It’s expensive, but top-notch. This is also the lowest price we’ve tracked, so far.

Photograph: Apple

The Apple AirPods Max (8/10, WIRED Recommends) are Apple’s biggest and beefiest headphones. They’re the very best noise-canceling headphones on the market, and they’re also our favorite wireless headphones for iPhone users that prefer over-ears. They dip down to this price pretty often, and they were $20 less last Black Friday, but this is still an alright deal if you’re in the market.

The latest version of the AirPods Pro (9/10, WIRED Recommends) was just announced last month at Apple’s hardware event and they’re already on sale. These buds are identical to the old pair on the outside, but they pack some changes internally. In addition to slightly improved sound, there are also new Adaptive Audio features and a new Conversation Awareness mode (that turns audio down and lowers the sound of the background so you can hear someone talking to you).

Beats Studio Pro

Photograph: Beats

The Beats Studio Pro Wireless Headphones (7/10, WIRED Review) pack excellent calling and noise canceling, good sound quality, and fantastic wireless range. They also offer a stable fit and compact design. These headphones are missing a few key features though, including sensors for auto-pause and multi-band EQ. But with improved sound quality and ANC, along with a few cool extra features for both Android and Apple devices, these are still a solid option—especially if they’re on sale. This is the lowest price we’ve tracked.

Samsung’s Galaxy Buds2 Pro (9/10, WIRED Recommends) are some of our favorite wireless earbuds, particularly for Android users. They work best with Samsung phones, but they pair easily with any Android phone. They have solid noise cancelling, up to 7.5 hours of battery life, and a wireless charging case to keep them topped off.

This massive tube of sound is JBL’s answer to the modern boombox, offering powerful performance with booming bass in a waterproof design that lasts for a full day on a charge. If you’re looking to rock a party outdoors, and you don’t mind making a hefty investment, this is the speaker to get and the time to get it. It’s been selling for $500 on Amazon since March.

Jabra has been at the top of our list for the Best Wireless Workout Buds for several years now for their great sound, light weight, and basically perfect fit. They also stay pretty much the same year to year and older models like the Elite 4 Active are also on sale ($70, $50 off).

iPad Air

Photograph: Apple

We’re happy to see that this deal is still live with this update, as it’s the lowest price we’ve seen on Apple’s 10th-gen iPad (7/10, WIRED Review). Apple revamped the design for this release—there’s no more Home button, and the bezels around the screen are slim. The rear camera has been upgraded, while the selfie camera has been moved to the center of the iPad for video calls, and it’s powered by a more powerful chip.

We love the sixth-gen iPad Air (8/10, WIRED Recommends) for an upgrade splurge. It’s more expensive, but again, this is the lowest price we’ve tracked. It has a better processor, making it a good bit snappier, along with a higher-resolution selfie camera and support for Center Stage for video calls. It also has a larger screen while being lighter to carry around.

If portability is your priority, look no further than the iPad Mini (8/10, WIRED Recommends). It has a design similar to the iPad Pro, but with an 8.3-inch screen. While it doesn’t have as powerful a processor as the iPad Air, it can still handle pretty much any app or game. This isn’t an unusual price for it to drop to, but it’s the price we recommend trying to snag it for. Just know that Apple is expected to debut a new iPad Mini next year.

Photograph: Apple

There’s not much difference between last year’s Series 8 and the new Series 9, which is $100 more, so why not save some cash and go with the older model? That includes Crash Detection to alert emergency responders if you’re in an accident and unresponsive and the usual health and fitness tracking features. Read our Best Apple Watch guide for more details.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is only a month old but it’s already on sale. It’s our favorite smartwatch for outdoor sports. It packs a new (and bright) 3,000-nit display, the latest S9 chip for faster processing, and the new ultra-wideband chip for precision-locating your phone. It’s a great option if you’re heavily into outdoor sports and are looking for a rugged, full-functioning smartwatch to take along with you. It’s also the Apple Watch with the best battery life thanks to its massive size.

If you want to use any of Moment’s great lenses to take pictures with your phone, you need to invest in a Moment case. Moment’s Black Friday sale includes many accessories and bags we love, including the Everything Tech Tote ($84, $36 off).

Apple’s brand-new M3 chips are available in three different MacBook tiers—the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max (9/10, WIRED Recommends). They’re all included in our guide to the Best Laptops. The M3 Pro falls in the middle as far as processing power and speed goes, but it’s still blazing fast. We recommend that you opt for the Pro if you’re a serious productivity user or content creator. This deal matches the best price we’ve seen so far.

This M3 Pro MacBook Pro is similar to the other model that’s on sale. It just has a larger screen, a more powerful CPU, and slightly better graphics. Apple’s brand-new M3 chips are available in three different MacBook tiers—the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max (9/10, WIRED Recommends). They’re all included in our guide to the Best Laptops.

This is the fastest Chromebook we’ve tested. It features a 3.75-GHz Intel Core i3-1315U CPU, 8 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of flash storage. The Flex 5i has two USB-C ports (one is used for charging) plus one USB-A port. You also get a microSD card slot for expanding the storage capability, making this a good choice for those who don’t want to keep everything in the cloud. The 14-inch touchscreen uses a 2-in-1 design, making it ideal for media streaming. As on most Chromebooks, the screen isn’t the best, with mid-level brightness and a standard 1,920 x 1,080-pixel screen resolution.

We haven’t tested Asus’ Chromebook Plus yet, but some of the best benchmarks we’ve ever recorded in a Chromebook came from models using AMD Ryzen 3 chips. Given that the Ryzen 3 is the centerpiece here, I have no problem recommending it. You also get the standard 8 GB of RAM and a 128 GB SSD. Like the Lenovo, this is a 2-in-1 flip (convertible) Chromebook, with a touchscreen. The screen is on the brighter side for a Chromebook at 300 nits (compared to 250 for most of the others). This is the lowest price we’ve tracked.

Our favorite 15-inch laptop, the Acer Aspire 3, here comes with an Intel Core i5 chip, integrated graphics, 8 GB of RAM, and a 15.6-inch IPS display (1,920 x 1,080 pixels). It’s big, and the display is not the sharpest, but it won’t strain your eyes. There are ports galore (Ethernet, USB, USB-C, HDMI, headphone jack), and it’s powerful enough for most everyday tasks.

The HP Envy x360 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is one of our favorite 2-in-1 laptops for several reasons. It’s got enough power for most tasks and projects, plenty of ports, and a bright touchscreen with great color accuracy. It’s also nice and quiet in regards to the fans, but the click pad is quite loud.

This little 2-in-1 laptop has been one of our best budget picks in our Best Laptops Guide forever. It’s not spec’d out for video editing or gaming, but it’s plenty fast enough for office and web-based work. There are plenty of ports for peripherals, and the 2-in-1 design is nice for watching movies on the go.

Alienware AW3423DW

This gaming monitor is expensive, and it doesn’t go on sale very often. The Alienware AW3423DW (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is sublime near-perfection. It’s featured as a luxury gaming pick in our guide to the Best Monitors. The image quality and colors are top-notch, and the responsive, immersive screen makes for a fantastic gaming experience. Our review has more details, but suffice it to say that if you’re looking for a curved monitor, it’s hard to beat this one.

The Das Keyboard MacTigr (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is expensive, but it’s great for those in the Apple ecosystem with a dedicated Mac layout. It also has cherry MX Red switches (that don’t get too loud), a two-port USB-C hub, and a high-quality all-metal build.

With an ultralight design that features a semitransparent lighting scheme, this mouse is gorgeous, and its buttons are unbelievably snappy. They offer sharp, rich clicks for your gaming sessions. It has a place in our Best Gaming Mouse guide, and we have never seen it with such a deep discount before.

SanDisk Extreme Pro

Photograph: SanDisk

You get a good balance of speed and reliability with this USB 3.2 flash drive from SanDisk, and we have never seen it lower. As the top pick in our Best USB Flash Drives guide, we like the sleek and durable aluminum case, handy loop for attaching it to a key ring, and the fact it delivers the advertised speeds (420 megabytes per second read, 380 MB/s write). This has been performing well for us for a couple of years now and comes with a lifetime warranty.

Our review of the Maingear MG-1 hasn’t gone up yet, but we’ll spoil it for you: we love it. It’s a pre-built gaming PC that includes the latest 40-series of Nvidia graphics cards inside a stylish, upgradeable case. When you buy it, you can customize the specs to suit your needs. The deal currently varies based on your choices, but the base-level PC is $50. The company is also throwing in an extended 3-year warranty, plus an Assassin’s Creed Mirage game code. For higher tiers, the discount on the PC is higher (up to $300 for the Ultimate version with an RTX 4090 card), and also comes with a code for Alan Wake II, which is a pretty stellar game.

Acer’s Swift 3 is a solid portable with an Intel Core i7-(12700H) processor, 16 gigabytes of RAM, and a 1-terabyte SSD. The screen is quite nice too, a 14-inch panel with 2,880 x 1,800-pixel resolution in 16:10 format. We haven’t tested this Swift 3 (which has since been relaunched as the Swift Go), but we really liked the very similar Swift 14.

The Moto Razr+ is playing on your nostalgia for flip phones, and it’s kinda working. It’s a foldable phone that flips vertically to open, and it has an external display for some useful information even when it’s closed. We’d like to have seen better battery life on it, and it doesn’t have the best camera in the world, but at this discount it’s definitely worth a look.

The original Motorola Razr is one of the cheapest folding phones you can get right now, and it’s kind of surprising that it’s dropped this low. It doesn’t have the larger front screen that its successor has, but it’s still got a gorgeous 6.9-inch OLED screen when open, 128 GB of storage, and a beefy 4,200-mAh battery.

This is the best Motorola phone you can get right now. Its 6.7-inch OLED display curves around the sides, yet it comfortably ignores your fingers wrapped around it so you don’t accidentally press buttons. It comes with 512 GB of storage, dual SIM support, and up to a 165-Hz refresh rate, which is frankly overkill for most needs but absolutely buttery smooth.

The Google Pixel 7A (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has a lot of pros. It’s got great performance, an excellent camera, and an OLED display. The build quality is fantastic too, and it comes in fun colors. It’s not perfect—the battery life is middling—but this is still our favorite smartphone for most people. Read our Best Pixel Phone guide for more details.

The Google Pixel 8 (7/10, WIRED Review) is the brand’s newest flagship phone. It’s good! It performs well, the camera is fantastic, and the performance is snappy. Our only gripe is with the battery life. The Pixel 8 Pro is also on sale for $799 ($200 off). Read more about the two phones, plus the rest of the lineup, in our Google Pixel Phone Buying Guide.

This is our favorite book-like folding phone (8/10, WIRED Recommends). The front screen is nice and wide, so you can use it comfortably with all your favorite apps. Open it up and you get a much larger 7.6-inch screen for multitasking. Google’s software smarts are here, along with its excellent cameras, making this one of the best folding phones right now.

If you’re eyeing a tablet that can replace your laptop every now and then—one that still works great as an entertainment slate, and is not an iPad—take a look at the OnePlus Pad (8/10, WIRED Recommends). It’s the first-ever tablet from the phone maker, and it runs Android 13 out of the box, so there are a lot of improvements in making the Android experience on a tablet really great.

The Google Pixel Tablet (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is great for an Android tablet, but it’s the included charging dock—which doubles as a speaker—that makes it stand out. This combo device lets you pick up the slate to use it like a normal tablet, and set it down to use as a smart speaker when you don’t need it. You can even set up to eight user profiles, so anyone in the family can use it with their own apps and home screen.

This is our favorite digital notebook. It writes very much like pen and paper, so it’s excellent for taking notes, with plenty of organizational software features. This bundle includes the new Type Folio keyboard, which attaches a tiny keyboard so you can type without any distractions.

The coolest part of this phone is the back. Sure, the front has a 120-Hz AMOLED screen, and it’s powered by a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, but the back is quite literally where the Nothing Phone (2) (7/10, WIRED Recommends) shines. The LED “Glyph” lights can flash when you get notifications or calls, and you can set it up to alert you about app notifications you choose, too. Those lights can also be used as countdown timers or even to show the status of your Uber driver. It only works for T-Mobile and AT&T users.

Photograph: Backbone

Following the original Backbone One (8/10, WIRED Recommends) for Lightning port iPhones, there is now a version for Android phones (and the iPhone 15 range) with USB-C. This well-designed mobile controller clamps your phone in the middle and gives you all the buttons, triggers, and joysticks you need to get your game on. The app offers some handy extras, too.

This is a price match of the discounts we’ve seen on other shopping holidays. It’s still a good deal on an excellent controller, and the price extends to several different color options. Our favorite part about the DualSense controller is the way the haptic feedback works. Rather than random rumbles, you’ll feel directional and immersive feedback—almost like surround sound, but in a controller. Read more about it in our Best PlayStation 5 Accessories guide.

The ThinkPhone is our runner-up pick for Motorola’s phones, but it’s actually a joint deal with Lenovo. It’s similar to the Edge+ but adds that traditional ThinkPad flair with a customizable red side button. It’s designed for business use, but it’s a solid option for everyone, especially at this price.

Check out our Best TVs guide and Best Roku Devices guide for more options.

Photograph: TCL

Our favorite TV for most people is a great TV for the price already, the TCL Q6 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) has quantum dot technology, support for every major high dynamic range (HDR) format, and a game mode. We don’t love that it comes with Google TV instead of Roku, but this is a great price for a great TV.

This is our favorite TV for gamers. The LG C3 delivers fantastic image quality, with vivid pictures that are loaded with detail, particularly with tone and texture, but never overblown. For gaming, the response times are nice and fast (9.2 milliseconds), and it supports every current-gen console feature across all four of its HDMI sockets. It has been slowly dropping in price over the last few months. It’s now at its lowest price ever, roughly $400 off where it was several months ago, and about $100 off what it was a few weeks ago.

The TCL Q6 (7/10, WIRED Review) is our top TV pick for most people even when it’s not on sale. It uses quantum dot tech and HDR to get gorgeous colors and excellent contrast. It uses Google TV instead of Roku, which may not be your preference. This is the best price we’ve seen it at in the last six months, but it’s gone nearly this low before.

Photograph: Hisense

The Hisense U8K (8/10, WIRED Recommends) uses a mini-LED display that delivers excellent black levels and vivid colors. Despite its confusing model number, it’s a 4K display, not 8K (which shouldn’t be surprising at this price point), but it has a 120-Hz screen refresh rate that’s excellent for gaming, plus decent built-in speakers. The feet are on the ends though, so you’ll want to mount it or pair it with a long TV stand.

Hisense’s U7K was already a great value at its regular sale price that has hovered around $600 or so, but this sale makes it particularly enticing. With an intuitive Google TV interface and sought-after performance features like class-leading peak brightness, quantum dots for enhanced color volume, great gaming features, it’s an all-around sweet deal.

Roku Plus

Photograph: Roku

We’ve been fans of TVs with Roku’s interface for a while, and Roku’s in-house line makes our favorite entry-level TV. For the price, WIRED editor Parker Hall was impressed with the picture and color on the screen. It doesn’t have the best refresh rate for gaming, but otherwise, it’s hard to beat at this price (especially on sale).

Vizio has long been a master at soundbar value, and the M-Series 5.1.2 soundbar (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is the poster boy for all we love about the brand. Here you’ll find clear, full, and immersive sound in a no-nonsense multi-speaker system for hundreds less than we’d expect to pay even at full price, making this deal all the sweeter.

Photograph: Sonos 

The Beam (Gen 2) packs a ton of upgrades from its predecessor including a slight redesign, enhanced sound with support for Dolby Atmos (with compatible TVs and streaming apps), a faster processor, and an HDMI eARC port for higher-definition audio. It packs support for Alexa, Google Assistant, and AirPlay 2 as well.

The Sonos Ray (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is one of our favorite soundbars for smaller apartments or living rooms. It’s compact and fits neatly on a dresser or entertainment unit. You can even mount it on the wall to save more space. Despite its size, it easily fills the space with crisp, high-quality sound.

If you want to add some extra oomph to your existing soundbar, the Sonos Sub Mini (8/10, WIRED Review) is a great upgrade. It wirelessly integrates with your existing (Sonos, obviously) sound system and packs a punch that you’ll feel compared to your sound system without it.

The 7-inch display on the OLED Switch is the headliner, but the new device also has double the storage of the previous model.Photograph: Nintendo

The Nintendo Switch OLED (8/10, WIRED Recommends) typically sells for $349, but this bundle includes a digital download of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as well as a three-month Nintendo Switch Online membership. Those extras usually cost $60 and $10, respectively, so it’s like you’re getting $70 worth of bonuses for free.

Courtesy of Hulu

Hulu offers an enormous choice of new and classic TV shows and the ability to bundle in additional channels and services. It’s our top pick for cord cutters looking to replicate cable. Big shows from networks like ABC, Fox, and FX rub shoulders with Hulu Originals, so you’ll find shows like Lost, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Handmaid’s Tale, and Castle Rock. Check out the Best Shows and Best Movies on Hulu for more options.

This deal has been running for a while, but if you want both Hulu at the price above, and Disney Plus for a little less, this is the combo to buy. You can also throw in ESPN+ and get all three for $15 a month.

The basic Peacock service includes shows like Parks and Recreation, The Office, and Battlestar Galactica, as well as movies like The Big Lebowski, all with commercials. Pay for Premium and you unlock more content, with episodes from NBC shows available the day after they air, original series, and new movies. Our main complaint is that Peacock is riding hard on its back catalog.

Formerly HBO Max, Max is what happened when Discovery decided to fold Discovery+ into the mix and rebrand the newly created service as Max. In theory, this means Max has an expanded library, with a healthy dose of reality TV shows like Fixer Upper and MythBusters alongside HBO hits old and new, from The Wire and Game of Thrones to Succession and The Last of Us. Max is one of our top picks in our guide to the best streaming services.

This deal gets you our top pick for extra movies that you won’t find elsewhere. You get three month at $3 per month and then the price jumps to $10 per month. There are no ads for subscribers. You get some 4K and HDR content at no extra cost, up to four simultaneous streams, and can download content for offline viewing. The movie lineup changes frequently based on the latest licensing deals, but Starz has an agreement with Universal to get some of its movies first.

Jackery Explorer 300 Plus

Photograph: Jackery

If you want extra power for a camping or road trip but need something truly portable, the Jackery Explorer 300 Plus is worth a look and appears in our Best Portable Chargers guide. Cute and compact, this battery has a fold-out handle, packs a 288-Wh capacity, and weighs 8.3 pounds. It comes with a fold-out solar panel that can generate 40 watts. The fan can get a little noisy and it takes several hours to charge from solar. We have seen it discounted before, but never lower than this.

Our medium-capacity pick of the best portable power stations, the Biolite BaseCharge 1500 has recessed handles for easy carrying, a good mix of ports to charge a lot of small gadgets like phones, tablets, and laptops, and a wireless charging pad on top. The 1,521-watt-hour capacity is enough to keep you powered on a weekend camping trip. Sadly, it takes a long time to charge.

Taking the best overall slot in our Best Portable Power Stations guide, the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus (8/10, WIRED Recommends) brings you power wherever and whenever you need it. The LiFePO4 battery should be good for 10 years, the fan is relatively quiet, and it has a good mix of ports and outlets. You can also stack batteries if you need more power and charge via solar panels (sold separately). Some of the covers are tight and it’s heavy to lug around, but overall it’s a great power station. This is the lowest price we’ve seen on this one.

Ecoflow River 2 Pro

Photograph: EcoFlow

Sporting a large handle and weighing in at 17 pounds, this is the most portable pick in our Best Portable Power Stations guide. It offers 768 watt-hours, and has a wide range of ports and outlets to charge small gadgets. It takes over an hour to charge from the mains and has a standard XT60 connector for solar panels, but the fan can get noisy. While it has been discounted before, this is the lowest price we have ever seen. Ecoflow is also offering discounts on many other models if you need more power.

The Creator Kit which, acts as the link between your phone and various mounting solutions, is a great choice if you’re already in the Peak Design ecosystem. It comes with a magnetic locking mount that works with the Peak Design SlimLink phone case and a few different mounting options including a Peak Design Arca quick-release plate, a GoPro mount adapter, and a a 1/4-inch tripod mount. That way, you can easily mount it on almost any GoPro mount or almost any tripod. Your phone (with the case protecting it) will also slot easily into the SlimLink mount and stay secure.

This battery pack is both portable and powerful. It has a 26,800-mAh capacity (the maximum you can take on a flight), and four USB-C ports—two of which can dish out 100 watts and two that output 20 watts each. We’ve used it to fast-charge MacBooks, iPhones, and other smartphones. There small built-in OLED display that shows the remaining power as a percentage and in-watt hours.

Satechi 165 Watt Charger

Photograph: Satechi

This handy charger has enough power to juice up two MacBook Pro models simultaneously. But it’s also great if you have a lot of devices around your desk that constantly need to be charged. It has a little stand to prop it up, a short cord that goes out to an outlet, and four USB-C ports that output 100 watts each. This is the lowest price we’ve tracked.

We like Anker’s chargers and its Prime range employs GaN technology to shrink the size down. This 67-watt charger has fold-out prongs and offers two USB-C ports and one USB-A. It can charge a MacBook and it supports fast charging for iPhones, Samsung Galaxy S phones, and Pixel phones.

This solid option from Anker made the honorable mentions in our Best Portable Chargers. It has a 10,000-mAh capacity, good for just shy of two full charges for most phones, a built-in USB-C cable that doubles as a loop for easy carrying, and an additional USB-C and USB-A port. It maxes out at 30 watts each way and can be fully charged in around two hours.

We haven’t written about it since 2019, but Twelve South’s Bluetooth accessory is indispensable for anyone who wants to enjoy in-flight entertainment without using wired headphones. It also works with hotel treadmills and game consoles, like the Nintendo Switch.

This handy charger has enough power to juice up two MacBook Pro models simultaneously. But it’s also great if you have a lot of devices around your desk that constantly need to be charged. It has a little stand to prop it up, a short cord that goes out to an outlet, and four USB-C ports that output 100 watts each. This is the lowest price we’ve tracked.

A 25,000-mAh battery pack that’s surprisingly compact is a rarity, and this one also packs two USB-C ports, one USB-A, and the ability to draw 145 watts while charging. That means one USB-C port can dish out 100 watts, enough to fast charge a laptop. Read more in our Best Portable Chargers guide.

GoalZero Sherpa 100 Battery Pack

GoalZero

This is our go-to pick for laptops in our guide to Best Portable Chargers. It has two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, and a 100-watt AC port for gadgets that need a pronged plug. It fully recharged our Dell XPS 13 nearly twice in our tests.

These Crucial drives are our favorite portable drives. They’re reasonably priced (for a portable SSD) and speedy. These are lightweight too, so they’re ideal for when you’re working away from home. We use one to store video clips, and it’s fast enough to edit them right off the disk. The only downside is the plastic construction. Don’t expect it to survive many drops.

Photograph: Garmin

Garmin’s Forerunner line of GPS-enabled fitness trackers is bewilderingly complex, but this is our favorite (8/10, WIRED Recommends). You get great battery life in a lightweight, comfortable watch. There’s all the detailed fitness tracking you’d expect, especially for running, hiking, and cycling. It also has pretty good sleep tracking. The Music version is also on sale for $300 ($100 off). It allows you to store and listen to music via Bluetooth headphones. If you’re not sure which model to get, have a look at our guide to picking the right Garmin.

If you’re breaking off your toothbrush handle to reduce weight in your hyperlight pack, you need an inReach Mini. It’s tiny—a mere 3.5 ounces—and utilizes the super-fast Iridium satellite network, which will let you send an SOS from anywhere on the planet. It’s our favorite tiny satellite messenger for traveling off-grid. It’s been at a lower price since October.

Photograph: ŌURA

The Oura Ring is one of the first, and arguably one of the best, models of fitness tracker that you don’t have to wear on your wrist. Every model has a discount, although not all of them are the same price off. You will still need a $6/month Oura membership to access many of the best features.

This is the best price we’ve seen for the Fitbit Charge 6 (7/10, WIRED Review), the latest addition to the Charge lineup. At this price, the Fitbit Charge 6 is a simple and focused fitness tracker with a pretty robust suite of health metrics. However, its predecessor remains our favorite fitness tracker, but this model struggles, at times. The companion app leaves a bit to be desired, there’s no fall detection, and Bluetooth connectivity is glitchy. You should also be aware that to access every feature, you’ll need a Fitbit Premium subscription that costs $10 per month.

Withings just released the ScanWatch 2. This is the first generation of the company’s watch to be cleared by the FDA, and it’s now heavily discounted. This hybrid smartwatch (8/10, WIRED Recommends) looks exactly like an analog watch with a host of reliable health and fitness features.

Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic

Photograph: Samsung

The Galaxy Watch6 Classic has some features that are exclusive to Samsung phones—like the electrocardiogram—but technically any Android owner can use this smartwatch. It has better battery life than an Apple Watch, smooth performance, and a fun mechanical rotating bezel. If you don’t care for the mechanical bezel, you can save some dough and opt for the standard Galaxy Watch6 instead.

Read our Best Smart Speakers and Best Smart Display guides for other recommendations.

Google Nest HubPhotograph: Google

We’re not sure if smart displays will be around forever, but if you want one, Google makes some of the best. This 2nd-gen Nest Hub (7/10, WIRED Recommends) doesn’t have a camera, so you have some privacy peace of mind. It’s compact with a 7-inch screen, which makes it ideal for your bedside table. It has sleep-sensing tech to track your sleep quality.

The Amazon Echo Show 10 is the best Alexa Smart Display. It can connect with other Echo speakers, and the large 10-inch screen swivels around the base so you can keep a recipe or a Zoom video call within easy view. As is true for all Amazon devices, this gadget is best if you frequently use other Amazon products and services.

The slightly smaller Echo Show 8 is a great choice if there isn’t room for the Show 10. The 8-inch screen is perfectly sized, big enough to read recipes or maybe even have a movie playing as you cook, but it isn’t so big it’ll take up precious counter real estate.

The Echo Show 5 is typically overpriced at $90, but the deal price of $40 matches the best we have tracked. Just keep in mind that it goes on sale quite frequently. We prefer the Echo Show 10 for its larger size, but the smaller footprint of the Echo Show 5 is good for a nightstand or tiny kitchen.

Google Nest Hub Max

Photograph: Google

The Google Nest Hub Max is our favorite smart display for a lot of reasons—the 10-inch touchscreen display, the solid speakers, and the unobtrusive display, to name a few. It also doubles beautifully as a digital photo frame if you’re a Google Photos user. This one has a camera, so you can use it with video-calling apps.

Smart bulbs are best when you can fill the entire room (or a couple rooms!) with them. This four-pack of our favorite smart bulbs is a good price to get four excellent smart bulbs. It’s a price we do see from time to time for this bundle, but still a good buy nonetheless.

The Cync Indoor Camera (9/10, WIRED Recommends) was one of the first to offer a privacy shutter that covers the lens when you’re home or don’t want to record. It also captures 1080p video at 25 frames-per-second, offers two-way audio, and accepts a microSD card (sold separately) for local storage (you can also subscribe for cloud storage from $3 per month). It is top of our Best Indoor Security Cameras guide, and this is as low as we’ve seen it go.

Govee LED Light Strip M1

Photograph: Govee

Bringing bright, vibrant colors to recessed spots around your home, this Matter-supporting light strip from Govee is one of our favorites. It has addressable zones, can sync to music, and supports a wide range of fancy lighting effects. Sadly, it can’t be trimmed and you need the messy Govee app to use the effects.

Wonderfully colorful, bright, diffused light streams from these modular bars, and they are easy to fit. This kit includes six bars and a corner piece. The Govee app offers some great animated scenes, and you can even create your own. Sadly, they lack physical controls, and you need a bunch of them to create an interesting pattern. They appear in our Best Smart Lighting guide.

Nanoleaf’s beautiful wall panels are eye-catching but usually pricey. While this isn’t a spectacular discount, it’s still a good sale to jump on if you’ve got the wall space for these hexagonal wall panels. Use that $40 to shop around the rest of Nanoleaf’s range of smart lights.

TP-Link Tapo C110

Photograph: TP-Link

If you just need a cheap way to monitor an entrance or area, this wired security camera can stream and record at up to 2K and reliably detects motion. The frame rate is low and there’s lag on the two-way audio. You also need to insert a microSD card to record locally or pony up for a subscription (from $3.50 a month). As the budget pick in our best indoor security cameras guide, the Tapo C110 is frequently discounted, but we have never seen it this low.

The smartest indoor security camera you can get, Google’s Nest Cam (Wired) blends in easily and accurately detects people, animals, and vehicles. It boasts HDR and a high frame rate to make the most of the 1080p footage. Sadly, you only get three hours of history unless you subscribe to Nest Aware starting from a pricey $6 per month, though it does also include familiar face recognition.

We called the Blink Mini cheap, compact, and versatile with good video quality in our Best Indoor Security Cams guide. It has two-way audio, accurate motion detection, and integration with Alexa. Like other Blink products, the best features are locked behind a premium subscription that starts at $3 a month. But that’s still pretty cheap compared to other security camera systems.

Even after you factor in the $3 per month (or $30 per year) subscription, this video doorbell is one of the cheapest we feature in (the honorable mentions section of) our Best Video Doorbells guide. It’s reliable enough and gets 1080p video quality, but don’t expect superfast notifications or a wide field of view. If you don’t want a subscription, consider buying it bundled with the Sync Module 2 ($47), which is also half-price right now.

This is a price match of the deals we saw on Prime Day. The Nest Video Doorbell is our favorite smart doorbell. Its reliable performance and solid video resolution place it far and above other similarly priced options.

With a well-deserved reputation for quality, Philips Hue is perhaps the best-known smart lighting brand. This starter kit is a great way to try it out as it comprises three A19 bulbs, a Hue Bridge, and a Hue Smart Button. You can change color, temperature, and brightness from your phone with these bulbs, they work with all the main voice assistants, and they support scheduling and animated scenes. This is the upgrade pick in our Best Smart Bulbs guide. This kit is often discounted, but this is as low as we’ve ever seen it.

JCPenny Wrinkle Guard Sateen Sheets

Photograph: JCPenney

These sateen sheets are soft and cool to the touch, drape beautifully, and won’t keep you too warm while you sleep. It’s hard to tell the difference between these and more expensive sateen sheets, making them a great value—and that’s before the current sale. (This price is for the queen version.)

Eucalyptus sheets? You might question why you’d want to dive into alternative materials for your bedsheets. Eucalyptus sheets usually take less water and less harsh materials to make, compared to cotton or bamboo sheets. Buffy’s Breeze Set is one of our favorite sets of sheets. It’s lightweight and airy, but still keeps you warm without making you sweaty.

This is our top pick for the Best Robot Vacuum. Roborock’s entry-level vacuum is remarkably fast and thorough. It only rarely gets stuck and uses lidar, not cameras, to navigate through your home. It has multi-map capability for multi-story houses and also mop functionality.

Black+Decker PowerSeries Extreme Max Cordless Vacuum

This is our favorite cordless vacuum. Aside from reliable suction power, even on corrugated surfaces, it also stands on its own—a feature you’d think more cordless vacuums would have, but it’s surprisingly rare. The Extreme Max converts to a hand vac in a few moments and comes with three attachments. Read more about it in our dedicated buying guide.

With cold temperatures around most of the country, it might be weird to shop for a window air conditioner right now. But this is an excellent deal on our top window AC (8/10, WIRED Recommends). It doesn’t completely remove the functionality of your window—you can still open it with the AC installed.

The Petivity Monitor (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is a much cheaper way to get valuable health information about your cats than an automatic litter box. It sits under a normal box and after a brief training period, tracks when each cat goes to the bathroom, what they do there, and how much they weigh. If your cat isn’t feeling well, you can bring that information right to the vet. The app can be glitchy sometimes and occasionally tells me that a cat entered the box but didn’t go, even though I watched them. However, the company is regularly adding new features and updating it as it gets more popular.

WIRED reviews editor Julian Chokkattu loves this Instagram-famous backpack (8/10, WIRED Recommends) for toting around his 17-pound dog. It may take some coaxing to get your pup in, but once they are settled, they’re secured safely to your back. You can use your hands to carry groceries or ride the subway without issue. The Maxine One comes in two sizes, the smaller of which worked for Chokkattu’s Tobu.

Roverlund makes a few pet products we like, including this tote. It’s soft, but the base is stable and the thick straps are more secure on your shoulders than a lot of tote bags. The side pocket is tiny though, so it won’t fit more than a few dog poop bags. This price is for the small size, but the large is also on sale for $111 ($48 off). It’s a bit more expensive on Amazon, but make sure to click the on-page coupon button to see the discount at checkout. We love Roverlund’s Out-of-Office Carrier too, but it isn’t on sale as of this writing.

Trade Coffee

Trade makes our favorite coffee subscription. Rather than roasting its own beans, the company partners with roasters to bring you beans from boutique roasters around the U.S. With over 400 possibilities to choose from, the selection includes blends, single-origin options, and decaf. Right now gift subscriptions and gift boxes are on sale at up to 30 percent off. Prices start at $21.

This viral mug was featured in our gift guides for coffee lovers and moms—so if your momma loves coffee, it’s a doubly great gift. It’s usually pretty affordable, but this small Black Friday discount is still nice, especially if you opt to get a four-pack and save over $30.

Imagine if those chocolate-based Advent calendars from your childhood didn’t suck. This Godiva calendar has 25 pieces of decadent chocolate nestled behind its cardboard doors. It made our list of the Best Advent Calendars. If you choose to shop at Macy’s you may be able to opt for free in-store pickup.

Not every kitchen has enough counter space. In my apartment, the only real space I (Matt Jancer) have for preparing food is this 42-inch-wide rolling island. There’s a bar for holding a pair of dish towels, hooks for hanging oven mitts, and swiveling wheels that roll easily, even when the cabinet is loaded with a couple hundred pounds of kitchen gear. The drawers and doors close nicely, and the solid wood frame and butcher block top feel beefier than the price suggests.

Zojirushi Rice Cooker

Photograph: Zojirushi

The quiet, undisputed king of rice cookers, the Zojirushi uses “fuzzy logic technology” with a microcomputer (hence the abbreviation “micom” in the product name) to make tiny adjustments in heat placement, ensuring that your grains are perfectly done, with minimal effort and no burned or wet spots. We have seen this one dip about $15 lower, but this is the lowest price we’ve seen in the last six months.

Dreaming of your very own KitchenAid? The 5.5-quart bowl is great for making large batches of cookies, kneading a few pounds of bread, or even mashing potatoes.

This was the only appliance on WIRED reviews editor Julian Chokkattu’s wedding registry—he uses it to make stale bread fresh again, but you can also use it to reheat pretty much anything. The Balmuda Toaster (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is a mini steam toaster, so you pour a tiny bit of water with the included (and equally cute) tiny cup into the top area. There are time recommendations for things like pizza, a croissant, or sandwich bread.

Stasher—a perennial favorite in our Best Reusable Products guide—is 40 percent off sitewide. Probably the best way to start off with these durable, versatile bags is with this starter set that covers every need you might possibly have, from stand-up bags to one for pocket snacks.

The justly popular Aeropress’s genius isn’t so much that makes great coffee (it does), but that it makes it really difficult to make bad coffee. I’ve yet to have bad coffee from an Aeropress, which is something I can’t really say for any other coffee brewer. If you’re looking for a simple, fool-proof way to make a cup, this is the tool you need. We have seen the price get a little lower, but this is the lowest we’ve seen it in six months.

This is an all-around great air fryer. It offers more than you’ll find in other air fryer models with 12-in-1 functionality, which includes cooking modes that range from searing and sautéing to baking and roasting. It can make one-pot meals, too, and comes with a recipe booklet to get you started.

Yoto Player

Photograph: Yoto

Are you just a parent, standing with your arms wide open, asking the world for a music-listening option for your 4-year-old that doesn’t mean giving her a phone? Then you’re looking for a Yoto Player (7/10, WIRED Recommends). This is a pick in our Best Tech Gifts for Kids and our Best Kids Speakers guide.

Sheertex claims its tights are nearly indestructible (in human hands), and our writer Jaina Grey found they lived up to the hype. They’re durable enough to just stuff your foot right into it without worrying about runs or snags. They’re also built to last. Jaina has had a couple pairs for about three years now, and they’re just as strong as they were on the first day they were worn. The only drawback is typically the high price, but with this discount they’re a great pick for anyone looking to upgrade their tights collection.

Aura makes the best digital picture frames. Photos look great, without being too bright and obvious—you want a digital frame to look like decor, not a smart display. Aura has a few options, and they’re discounted regularly. If you like the mat look, get this one. I prefer the standard Carver which is also discounted to $139 ($10 off). Aura’s newest frame, the 15-inch Walden is $249 ($50 off).

Big Blanket Co makes several oversized and cozy blankets. Reviewer Louryn Strampe is obsessed with the Original Stretch, and she’s currently testing the thicker Sherpa Stretch as well as the Hideout Hoodie. (Both of them are just as great). If you seek utmost coziness at all times, these products are worthwhile. Big Blanket Co products are 20 percent off on Amazon and the brand’s own website. If you’re spending more than $200, you’ll save more money shopping through Big Blanket Co directly.

We like basically everything we’ve tried from Verloop, and the whole site is 30 percent off with code HOLIDAY. Verloop’s mini tote is one of reviewer Medea Giordano’s favorites when she doesn’t need to carry much. This is a slightly bigger option from the brand, and it’s made from paper-thin nylon stuffed with scrap yarn. The result is a cool, colorful explosion reminiscent of the ’90s. There is a matching pouch too that you can use in whatever other bag you prefer. While it won’t fit your laptop, you could comfortably carry a tablet or a Kindle. The biggest issue is just how loud the nylon is when you touch it. It’s like walking with a chip bag.

This deal is part of a larger promotion offering 25 percent off site-wide. The robe is supremely comfy and comes in a wide array of colors and patterns. The towel-like material absorbs water after a shower, but the robe is also comfortable enough to wear for hours after your shower. (Does anyone else do that?)

Photograph: Owala

Reviewer Medea Giordano called this her “emotional support water bottle.” The Owala Freesip (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is colorful and durable, and the leakproof lid has a straw option as well as a sip option. Sip or slurp! The choice is yours. If you’re shopping at Owala, the discount will reflect in your cart. Every capacity is on sale, but prices vary by retailer and color, so double-check and compare before you purchase. The deals generally match the lowest prices we’ve seen.

We’ve written about Allbirds and the company’s mission to make simple shoes out of sustainable materials many times. However, the best way to experience an Allbirds is probably with a warm, wool slipper. Many of the shoes are up to 70 percent off.

This is a match of the lowest price we tend to see for this little green machine. It made our list of the Best Carpet Cleaners and the Best Viral TikTok Gadgets. It’s great for cleaning furniture, stairs, and vehicles.

If you’re like me, you don’t even think about putting up Christmas decorations until it’s almost Thanksgiving already. Fortunately, there’s still time for folks like us to grab an artificial tree. Target’s knocking up to 50 percent off all its artificial trees before the rush even begins.

On top of Christmas trees, Target also offers discounts on all of its holiday decor. Ornaments, garlands, lights, and every little doodad and knick-knack you can put on your shelf is on sale, up to 30 percent already. There’s even a special section just for Christmas tree ornaments.

If you’re not an artificial tree fan, you can still combine the earthy scent of pine resin with the sweet smell of a good deal by picking up a live pine tree, either online or at your local Home Depot. The specific discount depends on the tree you select, but as of this writing, you’ve got your choice of Douglas Fir or Frasier Fir in heights from three feet to eight-and-a-half feet.

My Green Mattress Kiwi Hybrid Mattress

Photograph: My Green Mattress

Use code HOLIDAYS at checkout to apply the discount. This $649 price is $70 less than when the sale first started. We’ve seen it get cheaper, but not this year, so this is a solid price. This hybrid mattress is made using certified organic cotton, wool, and latex. Its twin size is cheaper than most of our favorite picks, but it’s still comfortably firm, my kids loved it..

The discount should be added automatically when you go to check out. While this honorable mention mattress is often discounted, Keetsa is not a forever-sale type of brand, so we appreciate it when actual deals happen. This is a softer mattress, and our side-sleeping tester wasn’t blown away by it, but he slept comfortably through the night.

Enter code BFCM2023 at checkout to get this discount plus two free pillows. Like Keetsa, Molecule doesn’t run constant deals, and this is the lowest price we’ve tracked for it. It has held up well after a year, and I find it comfortable, but it’s very soft. My husband and I agree that it’s better suited for back sleeping than the flip-flopping that I tend to do all night.

My Green Mattress Organic Latex Topper

Photograph: My Green Mattress

Use code HOLIDAYS to get the lowest price we’ve tracked on this mattress topper. If your mattress is still in good shape, you can get a refresh and potentially save yourself a few thousand bucks with a topper. My Green Mattress, the company that makes our favorite organic kids’ bed, also makes our favorite firm topper. It’s two inches of certified organic latex wrapped in an organic cotton cover, and despite being reasonably firm, it contours nicely, and you should be comfortable sleeping on your side. WIRED writer Scott Gilbertson said while sleeping on his stomach or back he didn’t touch his actual mattress at all, and just barely when he rolled to his side.

Our favorite customizable couch, the Lovesac couch—aka Sactional—is expensive, but expandable. Only have space for a two-seater now? Turn that into a three-seater when you have your first kid, or even a 10-seater when you move into a house with a basement. Add storage seats and power hubs and switch out the machine-washable covers when you redecorate. You can configure and reconfigure it in a number of ways, including by making the seats deeper. The price on this deal varies wildly depending on how many pieces you want, but the stealthtech is also included.

The Plufl (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is a cozy place for reading, watching TV, or otherwise lounging in before getting into your actual bed. It’s typically $399 on Amazon, so this is more like $100 off than $200, still, it’s a good chunk discounted from a very pricey accessory. The plush cover is cozy and soft, and it’s machine washable. If the bolsters are too stiff or tall for your liking, you can take out some of the stuffing.

We tested the Albany Park Kova sofa for our Best Couches guide and found that it was really comfortable and super easy to assemble. It’s long enough for our 6’4″ editor Julian Chokkattu to stretch out on comfortably, with room to spare for another person and a small dog. It held up fairly well after about a year, but the cushions do need some adjustments now and then. You might find yourself pushing them back into place after sitting on it for a while. Still, it’s a plush and pleasant pick for any living room.

Apollo Phantom V3

Photograph: Apollo

Enter code WIRED10 at checkout to see the discount. The Phantom V3 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is a beast of an electric scooter at 77 pounds, but it has excellent range. WIRED reviews editor Julian Chokkattu traversed on it from Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, to Fort Lee, New Jersey—a 22-mile trip—and had 43 percent left in the tank. Now that’s a commuter scooter.

Enter code WIRED10 at checkout to see the discount. WIRED reviewer Julian Chokkattu tested the 2022 model of the Air (6/10, WIRED Review) and wasn’t crazy about it, but the 2023 model gets notable tweaks, like a revamped handlebar, self-healing tires, and a better folding mechanism. The 500-watt motor can go up to 21 miles per hour, and most people should expect roughly 15 miles of range or less at those speeds (depending on other factors as well).

Our favorite micro ebike, the Jackrabbit (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is a great option for getting around short distances. It’s light, portable, and adorable. The biggest downside is its low range, but with this deal you can get an extra battery and go further for less. Just make sure to use the coupon code.

The Fluidfreeride Mosquito escooter (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is one of our favorites because it’s easy to carry but still can hit speeds up to 24 miles per hour. It has a loud horn and front and rear lights, and it can quickly fold up for easy storage.

Photograph: Aventon

We’ve tried several Aventon models and appreciate the high level of quality for a relatively low price point (the accessories are better than Lectric’s, too). This fat-tire ebike (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is affordable, versatile, and has built-in commuter essentials. We also like the Soltera.2 and the Abound, which are also on sale.

This is the affordable, DTC version of the now defunct VanMoof (8/10, WIRED Recommends). You get a stylish, attractive bike for not a lot of money. All of Wing’s bikes are currently on sale.

Photograph: Ride1Up

Ride1Up positions the Cafe Cruiser as its light, affordable daily cruiser (7/10, WIRED Recommends) but with a 750W motor and a 65-pound frame, it’s pretty big and powerful for an entry-level bike. Still, at this price (and for these specs!) it’s a pretty amazing value.

This inflatable paddleboard is well built and durable, and it packs up super small. During his testing, our writer Scott Gilbertson said he had the most fun on the water he’s had for maybe decades with this paddleboard. It’s easy to use, easy to pack up and get deployed, and a great pick for anyone interested in paddleboarding—even beginners. For more, check out our review (7/10 WIRED Recommends).

We tested the premium version of this bike (8/10, WIRED Recommends) and loved it. The best way to describe it is that it’s one of Specialized’s cushiony, comfy mountain bikes that has been given a motor and some adjustments to make it an all-around quiver killer. This will be the most-used bike you own.

Be sure to check out our full list of outdoors deals or Black Friday for more suggestions.

Our favorite lumbar pack, The Tour is loaded with pockets, which gives you far more stash spaces than would seem possible in a pack this size. We’ve had no trouble fitting a change of clothes and a couple of meals in here, in addition to the gear you’ll need for a full day on the trail or on a bike. The 13L version is also on sale for $75 ($25 off).

Martin Cizmar spent the summer playing pickleball to find the best paddle and this was it. The Omega Extreme X feels very precise and offers excellent ball control with a large sweet spot. You get lots of spin thanks to a durable textured carbon fiber surface. The edges are livelier than other paddles, meaning it’s more forgiving than many if you miss the sweet spot. Note that it has less pop than some others we tested, which is helpful if you’re willing to swing harder but want more control.

This is our favorite lightweight family backpacking tent. It isn’t quite as pricey as comparable options, and it’s not much heavier. I used this with my three kids, and it had plenty of interior space. That said, three adults will be more comfortable than four. The mesh at the top provides great ventilation on warm summer nights and the crossover pole helps it stand up well in the wind. The 1-person, 2-person, and 3-person sizes are also on sale.

This shirt is an updated version of the all-season version we like. This one is 100 percent merino and fits fairly snug, making it a good choice for layering. The price varies by color, but most are $86. The women’s version is also on sale, in some cases for even less (select colors).

Photograph: GoRuck

We love GoRuck’s over-the-top sturdy packs. Packs don’t come better made than this. The Bullet is the smallest of GoRuck’s bags and makes a good pack for around town (the laptop compartment is awesome) or short, lightweight hikes. GoRuck’s packs aren’t cheap, but this deal makes the price a little easier to bear.

The WhisperLite Universal is a legend for good reason. It’ll burn just about anything (isobutane-propane, white gas, gasoline, kerosene), making it a great choice for traveling internationally or wherever you don’t know what kind of fuel will be available. Flame control is a little tricky, but I have managed to get it to simmer, as long as the wind isn’t too bad.

This is another deal that thankfully keeps going. I got my first Petzel Tikka in 2000. It lasted 15 years and would probably still be going if I hadn’t accidentally run over it. These will stand up to a lot, but not the full weight of car, as it turns out. I am now on my second Tikka, and it’s still the best headlamp I’ve ever used. Truthfully, these days I use a USB headlamp most of the time, but when I hit the trail I still take the Tikka and a set of extra (rechargeable) batteries.

Once my favorite shoe (I’ve since moved to the even more minimalist Z-Trek Sandal), these remain a great choice for beginners and experienced barefooters alike. Think of these as the barefoot answer to Chacos. Except where Chacos are like putting tractors on your feet, the Z-Trails still flex and bend as you walk, giving your feet the freedom of movement you expect from a barefoot shoe. The kids’ Z-Trails are also a great deal at $30 ($30 off).

Photograph: Amazon

If you hike, camp, or have a disaster kit at the ready, a LifeStraw is a good thing to include. It filters contaminated water without batteries or other accessories. Grab a BPA-free bottle to filter into and you’ll get out 99.99 percent of waterborne bacteria for up to 1,000 gallons of water. By then you’ll have either made it to the survivors’ camp in Vermont or the zombies will have won.

The Hydro Jug Pro (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is a truly gargantuan water bottle. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea—er, water—but if you struggle with staying hydrated or keeping your water bottle full, this absolute unit may be of some assistance. Clip the coupon on the product page to save. We’ve not seen the bottle sell for less.

Lo & Sons Nouvelle.

Photograph: Lo & Sons

The Nouvelle (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is one of our new favorite bags. It’s made from durable, recycled nylon and the strap converts from a cross-body to a shoulder bag. It works across styles too, looking casual with jeans and sleek with dressy outfits. This price is only for three colors, however, navy, black with silver hardware, and black with gold hardware. Strangely, the other colors are only 20 percent off, at $140.

Everything that Yeti makes is insanely overpriced, and also the best thing we’ve ever touched. Reviews editor Adrienne So has owned this blanket for several years. It has a waterproof bottom, comes in its own carrying sack, is machine washable, and is weighted enough to not fly away at an outdoor concert. You can view Yeti tumblers on sale at their Amazon landing page.

We love pretty much everything Peak Design makes, which is amazing because almost everything is currently 10 to 15 percent off. Reviews editor Adrienne So particularly likes the Bike Mount, which locks your phone in place with the Everyday Case (which is also on sale, unless you want the iPhone 15 or Pixel 8 versions).

Photograph: Rothy’s

The entire Rothy’s catalog is 30 percent off, and we like several of their shoes, all of which are made from recycled plastic bottles and are machine washable. WIRED reviews editor Julian Chokkattu tried the Driving Loafer and the Monty which is also discounted to $130. He says both attractive and comfortable, wrapping around your feet gently without any break-in time. We also like the women’s flats for $90 ($39 off), available in nearly 30 colors (and some are discounted more than this). When Rothy’s shoes are worn out, you can recycle them back to the company and get a discount toward another pair.

We like a lot of Pit Viper’s sunglasses. The company is known for its neon, oversized sunnies and goggles. Styles we’ve tried successfully include the heart-shaped Admirers and the polarized Fondue, but there are oodles of styles to choose from. Discounts are applied automatically during checkout based on what you spend, ranging from 20 percent off to 50 percent off.

Do we even have to introduce the often-imitated Aviators? The classic teardrop lenses have been wowing folks for nearly a hundred years to the extent that they define the style of “Aviators,” and so you may as well buy the real deal. Unlike with cheaper brands, reviewer Matt Jancer has yet to have the tinting flake off a pair of Ray-Ban lenses, and the optical quality is spot-on.

Photograph: GoPro

This is a great deal on our favorite action camera for recording your outdoor adventures. The GoPro Hero 12 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) just launched in September and the previous model is still selling for $300, which makes this a pretty sweet deal. Not only do you get the latest version, you also get two batteries and a mini tripod. The Hero 12 isn’t a huge change from the Hero 11, but it does have better battery life, can shoot HDR video in 5.3K, and I still haven’t been able to overheat it in three months of trying. If none of that matters to you, you can grab the GoPro Hero 11 for $296 ($45 off).

This is currently our top umbrella recommendation. It automatically opens and closes with the push of a button, has sturdy fiberglass ribs and shaft, and a Teflon fabric that hasn’t shown much wear after years of use.

Davek Solo Umbrella

Photograph: Davek

This is our upgrade pick in our guide to Best Umbrellas. This one is compact, has an auto-close and auto-open feature, and is overall exquisite. Davek also has a lifetime warranty for repairs, in case you accidentally damage yours. If you lose it, you can use the special code that comes in the box to redeem a replacement for up to 50 percent off the regular price.

Mystery Ranch specializes in hunting and military gear, so the company’s backpacks are some of the toughest and most well-thought-out that we’ve ever tested. The Catalyst 18 is the standard daypack, but hunting- and outdoor-related gear is 30 percent off with this code.

Photograph: Nikon

The Nikon Z6 II is our favorite camera for Nikon shooters. The 24-megapixel full-frame sensor has excellent dynamic range, and the phase-detect autofocus system is one of the best I’ve used. Video quality is also excellent, with 10-bit 4:2:2 N-Log output possible over HDMI. The Nikon Z6 II is also the most comfortable camera I’ve tested. But the real star of the show here is the Z-series lens system with its wider base mount, which allows more light to the corners of the sensors. The benefits of this can be seen in the incredibly fast 58-mm f/0.95 lens (manual focus) and the surprisingly small 50-mm f/1.2. If you’ve got a lot of legacy Nikon glass you want to keep using, there’s an F-to-Z mount adapter available for $250. Note that the B&HPhoto price includes a shoulder bag.

Fujifilm’s Link Wide is my favorite Instax printer if only for its size: those gloriously big Instax Wide prints just look better. They are pricier though at around $1.20 per print (print price varies by quantity). The Instax Wide has its own dedicated app that works well and has plenty of fun layouts and premade templates. The only thing I don’t like here is that it charges off a USB-A cable. This deal has been running since early October, so it’s not really a Black Friday sale, but it is the lowest price we’ve seen and a great deal. Note that this does not include film, you’ll want to grab a pack of Instax Wide Film ($14) as well.

WIRED reviews editor Julian Chokkattu calls Wandrd’s Prvke the closest a camera bag has ever come to perfection. He likes the 31-liter version, which is what this deal is for. The padding is cushiony, and the exterior waterproof tarpaulin and Robic 1680-denier ballistic nylon materials have held up extremely well over time. It fits everything you need to shoot a video in the field, including a tripod (which secures in place with a buckle). Be sure to check off the “Photography Bundle” option before adding it to your cart.

Milwaukee 18-Volt 7-Power Tool Combo

Photograph: Home Depot

There are plenty of fine tool brands out there, but Milwaukee power tools last longer and stand up to more abuse. If you haven’t joined the cordless power tool revolution and need, well, nearly everything, this combo can’t be beat. You get a power drill, circular saw, grinder, and more. The two rechargeable batteries fit all the tools and come with a charger, so you can have one charging while using the other.

Product reviewer Matt Jancer tested this leaf blower this summer and was pleasantly surprised—it has all the power of your gas blower with hardly any of the noise. The 450-CFM airflow makes for 120-mph gusts to move leaves, lawn clippings, and whatever else you need to get out of the way. into order. This deal comes with two batteries and a charger, and since it uses the same M18 battery as the tools in the Milwaukee power tool combo above, you can swap these batteries freely among them.

This is arguably the best value in a garage workbench out there right now. The solid-wood top is 1.25 inches thick (!), and the legs are adjustable in height. It’s capable of holding an astounding 3,000 pounds. One cool feature of the Husky workbench is that two of either the Husky 1-Door-2-Drawer Base Cabinet or the Husky 2-Door Base Cabinet will nest right underneath the workbench for extra, out-of-the-way storage, with the same impressive build quality and cohesive design.

Traeger Ironwood 650

Photograph: Traeger

The Wi-Fi-equipped Ironwood 650 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is the best pellet grill/smoker in our Best Grills guide. The app lets you dial in your cook settings while you lounge around (or prep the rest of the meal). The “650” refers to the square inches of grill space, which is enough to smoke three or four racks of ribs at a time, or six whole chickens.

This is the lowest price we’ve seen on Biolite’s FirePit+. We liked the original version; this newer model can be used as a heating source, a phone charger, and a snazzy portable grill. The whole thing folds down and packs up for easy storage in the included bag.

Photograph: Solo Stove

According to WIRED editor Parker Hall, Solo Stove’s Yukon firepit (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is nearly indestructible with its stainless steel design, yet it’s still lightweight and gets nice and hot without any lighter fluid or kindling required. (His tip: Get harder wood, like oak, so it’ll last longer within the firepit.)

Want to bring a little of the camping vibe to your backyard? Grab a firepit and start roasting smores on the patio. We’ve tested the larger Solo Stove Yukon, which we love, but most people looking for a fire pit in their backyard should go with smaller versions like the Bonfire. It’s smokeless—as you may remember from that gimmicky announcement Snoop Dogg pulled on behalf of the company.

This section of fresh, live deals was just added with this update. Be sure to check out our Best Sex Toys guide.

Lelo’s Sila is one of our favorite suction toys. According to writer Louryn Strampe, it has a broad mouth that offers diffuse stimulation, and the air pressure pulses simulate the sucking sensation of oral sex. It’s a great little toy, and this is the Cruise version. That means that it does everything the standard Sila does, but when you press it against your body harder, the suction intensity steadily ramps up. It’s an intuitive feature that can really intensify those final moments of orgasm.

The Kurve is a nice, smooth silicone vibrator. Our writer Jaina Grey was a big fan during testing, finding that the buttons were placed intuitively, and everything was easy to reach when it was in use (on yourself or a partner). The curve makes it easy to reach the internal structures of the clitoris (the G-spot).

This strap-on harness from Lovehoney is an excellent pick for anyone’s first harness. According to our writer Jaina Grey, during testing the straps were easy to manage and adjust, were unobtrusive, and keep out of the way. The O-ring is a nice middle size, big enough to accommodate mostly smaller and moderately sized dildos. This one includes a 5-inch dildo with a small to moderate width.

For anyone interested in adding some extra flair to their plug play, the Dominix Tail Plug is made of easy-to-clean stainless steel and includes a stylish faux fur fox tail. During testing, writer Jaina Grey found that the tail adds some additional sensation to the whole plugging experience, and it’s super cute and soft to the touch as well.

Lovehoney’s Mini Wand is coated in a silky-soft silicone, and the form factor makes it super easy to use with just one hand—on yourself or a partner. It features the standard wand shape, so the head offers diffuse stimulation to a broad genital area, making it a real crowd pleaser. During testing, writer Jaina Grey found that the Mini Wand offered reasonable power and intensity for the size (and price).

170 Black Friday Deals to Shop Right Now (2023)

by crissly | Nov 25, 2023 | Uncategorized

Black Friday Deals are officially here. If you want to save money on necessities for yourself and gifts for friends and family, now is the time. We’ve combed the internet to bring you the best discounts on laptops, tablets, kitchen and home gear, headphones, battery chargers, outdoor gear, and plenty more WIRED-approved gear. We’ll update this post throughout the weekend with more deals as we find them. We last updated it on Friday, November 24, 2023, at 2:40pm ET.

We test products year-round and handpicked these deals. The discount amounts we show are based on actual street prices at retailers in the past few months. Products that are sold out or no longer discounted as of publishing will be crossed out. We’ll update this guide periodically.

If you buy something using links in our stories, we may earn a commission. This helps support our journalism. Learn more.

We’re happy to see that this deal is still live with this update, as it’s the lowest price we’ve seen on Apple’s 10th-gen iPad (7/10, WIRED Review). Apple revamped the design for this release—there’s no more Home button, and the bezels around the screen are slim. The rear camera has been upgraded, while the selfie camera has been moved to the center of the iPad for video calls, and it’s powered by a more powerful chip.

We love the sixth-gen iPad Air (8/10, WIRED Recommends) for an upgrade splurge. It’s more expensive, but again, this is the lowest price we’ve tracked. It has a better processor, making it a good bit snappier, along with a higher-resolution selfie camera and support for Center Stage for video calls. It also has a larger screen while being lighter to carry around.

If portability is your priority, look no further than the iPad Mini (8/10, WIRED Recommends). It has a design similar to the iPad Pro, but with an 8.3-inch screen. While it doesn’t have as powerful a processor as the iPad Air, it can still handle pretty much any app or game. This isn’t an unusual price for it to drop to, but it’s the price we recommend trying to snag it for. Just know that Apple is expected to debut a new iPad Mini next year.

Moft makes some of our favorite iPhone accessories, but there are also plenty of items for Android users, along with desk and laptop accessories. Its Black Friday sale has already started with a blanket 30 percent off through November 27, but you can nab additional discounts if you use a code. Use BF10 to get $10 off orders over $50, BF20 for $20 off orders over $100, BF37 for $37 off orders over $150, and BF60 for $60 off orders over $200.

There’s not much difference between last year’s Series 8 and the new Series 9, which is $100 more, so why not save some cash and go with the older model? That includes Crash Detection to alert emergency responders if you’re in an accident and unresponsive and the usual health and fitness tracking features. Read our Best Apple Watch guide for more details.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is only a month old but it’s already on sale. It’s our favorite smartwatch for outdoor sports. It packs a new (and bright) 3,000-nit display, the latest S9 chip for faster processing, and the new ultra-wideband chip for precision-locating your phone. It’s a great option if you’re heavily into outdoor sports and are looking for a rugged, full-functioning smartwatch to take along with you. It’s also the Apple Watch with the best battery life thanks to its massive size.

If you want to use any of Moment’s great lenses to take pictures with your phone, you need to invest in a Moment case. Moment’s Black Friday sale includes many accessories and bags we love, including the Everything Tech Tote ($84, $36 off).

Apple’s brand-new M3 chips are available in three different MacBook tiers—the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max (9/10, WIRED Recommends). They’re all included in our guide to the Best Laptops. The M3 Pro falls in the middle as far as processing power and speed goes, but it’s still blazing fast. We recommend that you opt for the Pro if you’re a serious productivity user or content creator. This deal matches the best price we’ve seen so far.

This M3 Pro MacBook Pro is similar to the other model that’s on sale. It just has a larger screen, a more powerful CPU, and slightly better graphics. Apple’s brand-new M3 chips are available in three different MacBook tiers—the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max (9/10, WIRED Recommends). They’re all included in our guide to the Best Laptops.

This is the fastest Chromebook we’ve tested. It features a 3.75-GHz Intel Core i3-1315U CPU, 8 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of flash storage. The Flex 5i has two USB-C ports (one is used for charging) plus one USB-A port. You also get a microSD card slot for expanding the storage capability, making this a good choice for those who don’t want to keep everything in the cloud. The 14-inch touchscreen uses a 2-in-1 design, making it ideal for media streaming. As on most Chromebooks, the screen isn’t the best, with mid-level brightness and a standard 1,920 x 1,080-pixel screen resolution.

We haven’t tested Asus’ Chromebook Plus yet, but some of the best benchmarks we’ve ever recorded in a Chromebook came from models using AMD Ryzen 3 chips. Given that the Ryzen 3 is the centerpiece here, I have no problem recommending it. You also get the standard 8 GB of RAM and a 128 GB SSD. Like the Lenovo, this is a 2-in-1 flip (convertible) Chromebook, with a touchscreen. The screen is on the brighter side for a Chromebook at 300 nits (compared to 250 for most of the others). This is the lowest price we’ve tracked.

Acer’s Swift 3 is a solid portable with an Intel Core i7-(12700H) processor, 16 gigabytes of RAM, and a 1-terabyte SSD. The screen is quite nice too, a 14-inch panel with 2,880 x 1,800-pixel resolution in 16:10 format. We haven’t tested this Swift 3 (which has since been relaunched as the Swift Go), but we really liked the very similar Swift 14.

Our favorite 15-inch laptop, the Acer Aspire 3, here comes with an Intel Core i5 chip, integrated graphics, 8 GB of RAM, and a 15.6-inch IPS display (1,920 x 1,080 pixels). It’s big, and the display is not the sharpest, but it won’t strain your eyes. There are ports galore (Ethernet, USB, USB-C, HDMI, headphone jack), and it’s powerful enough for most everyday tasks.

The HP Envy x360 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is one of our favorite 2-in-1 laptops for several reasons. It’s got enough power for most tasks and projects, plenty of ports, and a bright touchscreen with great color accuracy. It’s also nice and quiet in regards to the fans, but the click pad is quite loud.

This little 2-in-1 laptop has been one of our best budget picks in our Best Laptops Guide forever. It’s not spec’d out for video editing or gaming, but it’s plenty fast enough for office and web-based work. There are plenty of ports for peripherals, and the 2-in-1 design is nice for watching movies on the go.

This gaming monitor is expensive, and it doesn’t go on sale very often. The Alienware AW3423DW (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is sublime near-perfection. It’s featured as a luxury gaming pick in our guide to the Best Monitors. The image quality and colors are top-notch, and the responsive, immersive screen makes for a fantastic gaming experience. Our review has more details, but suffice it to say that if you’re looking for a curved monitor, it’s hard to beat this one.

The Das Keyboard MacTigr (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is expensive, but it’s great for those in the Apple ecosystem with a dedicated Mac layout. It also has cherry MX Red switches (that don’t get too loud), a two-port USB-C hub, and a high-quality all-metal build.

With an ultralight design that features a semitransparent lighting scheme, this mouse is gorgeous, and its buttons are unbelievably snappy. They offer sharp, rich clicks for your gaming sessions. It has a place in our Best Gaming Mouse guide, and we have never seen it with such a deep discount before.

You get a good balance of speed and reliability with this USB 3.2 flash drive from SanDisk, and we have never seen it lower. As the top pick in our Best USB Flash Drives guide, we like the sleek and durable aluminum case, handy loop for attaching it to a key ring, and the fact it delivers the advertised speeds (420 megabytes per second read, 380 MB/s write). This has been performing well for us for a couple of years now and comes with a lifetime warranty.

The Moto Razr+ is playing on your nostalgia for flip phones, and it’s kinda working. It’s a foldable phone that flips vertically to open, and it has an external display for some useful information even when it’s closed. We’d like to have seen better battery life on it, and it doesn’t have the best camera in the world, but at this discount it’s definitely worth a look.

The original Motorola Razr is one of the cheapest folding phones you can get right now, and it’s kind of surprising that it’s dropped this low. It doesn’t have the larger front screen that its successor has, but it’s still got a gorgeous 6.9-inch OLED screen when open, 128 GB of storage, and a beefy 4,200-mAh battery.

This is the best Motorola phone you can get right now. Its 6.7-inch OLED display curves around the sides, yet it comfortably ignores your fingers wrapped around it so you don’t accidentally press buttons. It comes with 512 GB of storage, dual SIM support, and up to a 165-Hz refresh rate, which is frankly overkill for most needs but absolutely buttery smooth.

Photograph: Google

The Google Pixel 7A (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has a lot of pros. It’s got great performance, an excellent camera, and an OLED display. The build quality is fantastic too, and it comes in fun colors. It’s not perfect—the battery life is middling—but this is still our favorite smartphone for most people. Read our Best Pixel Phone guide for more details.

The Google Pixel 8 (7/10, WIRED Review) is the brand’s newest flagship phone. It’s good! It performs well, the camera is fantastic, and the performance is snappy. Our only gripe is with the battery life. The Pixel 8 Pro is also on sale for $799 ($200 off). Read more about the two phones, plus the rest of the lineup, in our Google Pixel Phone Buying Guide.

This is our favorite book-like folding phone (8/10, WIRED Recommends). The front screen is nice and wide, so you can use it comfortably with all your favorite apps. Open it up and you get a much larger 7.6-inch screen for multitasking. Google’s software smarts are here, along with its excellent cameras, making this one of the best folding phones right now.

If you’re eyeing a tablet that can replace your laptop every now and then—one that still works great as an entertainment slate, and is not an iPad—take a look at the OnePlus Pad (8/10, WIRED Recommends). It’s the first-ever tablet from the phone maker, and it runs Android 13 out of the box, so there are a lot of improvements in making the Android experience on a tablet really great.

The Google Pixel Tablet (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is great for an Android tablet, but it’s the included charging dock—which doubles as a speaker—that makes it stand out. This combo device lets you pick up the slate to use it like a normal tablet, and set it down to use as a smart speaker when you don’t need it. You can even set up to eight user profiles, so anyone in the family can use it with their own apps and home screen.

The coolest part of this phone is the back. Sure, the front has a 120-Hz AMOLED screen, and it’s powered by a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, but the back is quite literally where the Nothing Phone (2) (7/10, WIRED Recommends) shines. The LED “Glyph” lights can flash when you get notifications or calls, and you can set it up to alert you about app notifications you choose, too. Those lights can also be used as countdown timers or even to show the status of your Uber driver. It only works for T-Mobile and AT&T users.

Photograph: Backbone

Following the original Backbone One (8/10, WIRED Recommends) for Lightning port iPhones, there is now a version for Android phones (and the iPhone 15 range) with USB-C. This well-designed mobile controller clamps your phone in the middle and gives you all the buttons, triggers, and joysticks you need to get your game on. The app offers some handy extras, too.

The ThinkPhone is our runner-up pick for Motorola’s phones, but it’s actually a joint deal with Lenovo. It’s similar to the Edge+ but adds that traditional ThinkPad flair with a customizable red side button. It’s designed for business use, but it’s a solid option for everyone, especially at this price.

Photograph: Amazon

This is the best Amazon Fire tablet for younger kids. It’s the same tablet as the “normal” Fire HD 8 (6/10, WIRED Review). The only difference is that the Kids Edition comes with a rugged case and a two-year worry-free guarantee. If your kid chucks it down the stairs into a mop bucket, or flings their tablet out the window because Bluey stopped playing, Amazon will replace the tablet for free. It also comes with a free year of Amazon Kids+, which offers access to kid-friendly movies, books, games, and apps.

If you’ve got older kids (about 8 and up), the Fire HD 10 Kids Pro Edition has a less bulky case and more app options. It still has plenty of parental controls in the settings, and the recent update gave it a speedier processor to better handle HD video and games. It’s not as big of a discount, but this is the better choice for older kids.

Amazon offers its biggest discounts on its own hardware on Prime Day, but can’t ignore the Black Friday bonanza. The Amazon Kindle Scribe (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is normally a bit expensive for our tastes, but this sale knocks it firmly within a reasonable buy price for us. It comes with a stylus that lets you write notes and mark up PDFs, and it has excellent battery life.

The Fire HD 10 is still our very favorite Fire tablet. This version got a minor speed update a couple of months ago, making it marginally snappier than the previous version. We like the Fire HD 10 for its larger screen—there’s more room to consume that fire hose of Amazon content you’ve been seeking (this Garry Winogrand documentary is very good if you’re looking for something). If you want to try to work on your Fire, grab the new Keyboard Case bundle ($60 off). As always we suggest spending the extra few bucks to get a tablet without advertisements on the lockscreen.

The best value in Amazon Fire tablets, the Fire HD 8 is an even better value at this price. (just $5 off the lowest price we’ve seen). The screen isn’t as roomy as on the 10, but this one is smaller, making it nice for traveling or reading a book. Most people are probably better off forking over the extra $20 to get the discounted Fire HD 10 though.

This is a big discount on the Amazon Kids Echo Dot, which we love as an Alexa-powered speaker for (you guessed it) kids. Both the dragon and owl designs are a little over half off, making it a much safer purchase to put in your destructive little ones’ playroom.

Amazon has a ton of gift cards that come with free credits right now. Each one has a unique corresponding coupon code that you can see on this page. For example, you can get a $100 Apple Gift Card and a free $15 Amazon credit with code APPLET5USA. There are tons of cards to choose from. You can browse them all here.

Sony WH-1000XM5

As Sony’s priciest wireless headphones, the WH-1000XM5 had a lot to live up to following the remarkably popular WH-1000XM4. Luckily they deliver the goods with upgraded noise canceling, a posh new design, and a more refined sound signature that adds up to a great package—especially on sale.

Sony’s WH-1000XM4 headphones (9/10, WIRED Recommends) have been a stalwart pair of wireless headphones for years now, and there’s no secret to their success. Offering excellent noise canceling, warm and detailed sound, and a ton of modern features in a comfy design, they’re among the best travel headphones you can buy.

Bose’s aptly named QuietComfort Ultra (9/10, WIRED Recommends) arrived in October with only one notable problem: they’re very pricey. Luckily they’ve already gotten a discount, which makes it easier to land their class-leading noise canceling, great sound, and luxuriously comfy design that’s loaded with modern features.

Google’s Pixel Buds Pro (9/10, WIRED Recommends) offer everything we liked about the original version with some notable upgrades, including ramped-up bass, more features, and solid noise canceling. They’re not as useful for iPhone owners, but Android users will find a nifty and comfortable design and optimized extras at a nice price.

Google’s Pixel Buds A-Series (8/10, WIRED Recommends) are our favorite earbuds for the money thanks to a neat package that fits well, sounds good, and costs less than plenty of competitors. They don’t have noise canceling which we’re starting to see pretty regularly in this price class, but this sale pushes them close to half the original cost for a killer bargain.

Photograph: Jabra

Jabra has been at the top of our list for the Best Wireless Workout Buds for several years now for their great sound, light weight, and basically perfect fit. They also stay pretty much the same year to year and older models like the Elite 4 Active are also on sale ($70, $50 off).

This isn’t the latest version of the Sonos Move (the company released a second-gen model back in September), but we recommend it regardless. It’s also almost half the cost of the Move 2. The first-gen Move packs Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, 11 hours of battery life, built-in microphones with support for Google Assistant or Alexa, and Automatic Trueplay (which equalizes audio depending on the environment). It’s dipped this low a few times before, but it’s still a good deal. Sonos has a few more speakers and soundbars on sale, which you can read about in our roundup of the best Sonos deals.

We recommend the Sonos Sub (Gen 3) if your giftee wants to upgrade their bass. The third-gen model packs better processing power and more memory. It’s also meant to be paired with Sonos’ non-portable options—like soundbars, speakers, and amplifiers (it won’t pair with the Move, Roam, Port, or Connect). It’s expensive, but top-notch. This is also the lowest price we’ve tracked, so far.

Photograph: Apple

The Apple AirPods Max (8/10, WIRED Recommends) are Apple’s biggest and beefiest headphones. They’re the very best noise-canceling headphones on the market, and they’re also our favorite wireless headphones for iPhone users that prefer over-ears. They dip down to this price pretty often, and they were $20 less last Black Friday, but this is still an alright deal if you’re in the market.

The latest version of the AirPods Pro (9/10, WIRED Recommends) was just announced last month at Apple’s hardware event and they’re already on sale. These buds are identical to the old pair on the outside, but they pack some changes internally. In addition to slightly improved sound, there are also new Adaptive Audio features and a new Conversation Awareness mode (that turns audio down and lowers the sound of the background so you can hear someone talking to you).

The Beats Studio Pro Wireless Headphones (7/10, WIRED Review) pack excellent calling and noise canceling, good sound quality, and fantastic wireless range. They also offer a stable fit and compact design. These headphones are missing a few key features though, including sensors for auto-pause and multi-band EQ. But with improved sound quality and ANC, along with a few cool extra features for both Android and Apple devices, these are still a solid option—especially if they’re on sale. This is the lowest price we’ve tracked.

Samsung’s Galaxy Buds2 Pro (9/10, WIRED Recommends) are some of our favorite wireless earbuds, particularly for Android users. They work best with Samsung phones, but they pair easily with any Android phone. They have solid noise cancelling, up to 7.5 hours of battery life, and a wireless charging case to keep them topped off.

Check out our Best TVs guide and Best Roku Devices guide for more options.

Photograph: TCL

Our favorite TV for most people is a great TV for the price already, the TCL Q6 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) has quantum dot technology, support for every major high dynamic range (HDR) format, and a game mode. We don’t love that it comes with Google TV instead of Roku, but this is a great price for a great TV.

This is our favorite TV for gamers. The LG C3 delivers fantastic image quality, with vivid pictures that are loaded with detail, particularly with tone and texture, but never overblown. For gaming, the response times are nice and fast (9.2 milliseconds), and it supports every current-gen console feature across all four of its HDMI sockets. It has been slowly dropping in price over the last few months. It’s now at its lowest price ever, roughly $400 off where it was several months ago, and about $100 off what it was a few weeks ago.

The TCL Q6 (7/10, WIRED Review) is our top TV pick for most people even when it’s not on sale. It uses quantum dot tech and HDR to get gorgeous colors and excellent contrast. It uses Google TV instead of Roku, which may not be your preference. This is the best price we’ve seen it at in the last six months, but it’s gone nearly this low before.

Photograph: Hisense

The Hisense U8K (8/10, WIRED Recommends) uses a mini-LED display that delivers excellent black levels and vivid colors. Despite its confusing model number, it’s a 4K display, not 8K (which shouldn’t be surprising at this price point), but it has a 120-Hz screen refresh rate that’s excellent for gaming, plus decent built-in speakers. The feet are on the ends though, so you’ll want to mount it or pair it with a long TV stand.

Hisense’s U7K was already a great value at its regular sale price that has hovered around $600 or so, but this sale makes it particularly enticing. With an intuitive Google TV interface and sought-after performance features like class-leading peak brightness, quantum dots for enhanced color volume, great gaming features, it’s an all-around sweet deal.

We’ve been fans of TVs with Roku’s interface for a while, and Roku’s in-house line makes our favorite entry-level TV. For the price, WIRED editor Parker Hall was impressed with the picture and color on the screen. It doesn’t have the best refresh rate for gaming, but otherwise, it’s hard to beat at this price (especially on sale).

Vizio has long been a master at soundbar value, and the M-Series 5.1.2 soundbar (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is the poster boy for all we love about the brand. Here you’ll find clear, full, and immersive sound in a no-nonsense multi-speaker system for hundreds less than we’d expect to pay even at full price, making this deal all the sweeter.

Photograph: Sonos 

The Beam (Gen 2) packs a ton of upgrades from its predecessor including a slight redesign, enhanced sound with support for Dolby Atmos (with compatible TVs and streaming apps), a faster processor, and an HDMI eARC port for higher-definition audio. It packs support for Alexa, Google Assistant, and AirPlay 2 as well.

The Sonos Ray (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is one of our favorite soundbars for smaller apartments or living rooms. It’s compact and fits neatly on a dresser or entertainment unit. You can even mount it on the wall to save more space. Despite its size, it easily fills the space with crisp, high-quality sound.

If you want to add some extra oomph to your existing soundbar, the Sonos Sub Mini (8/10, WIRED Review) is a great upgrade. It wirelessly integrates with your existing (Sonos, obviously) sound system and packs a punch that you’ll feel compared to your sound system without it.

The 7-inch display on the OLED Switch is the headliner, but the new device also has double the storage of the previous model.Photograph: Nintendo

The Nintendo Switch OLED (8/10, WIRED Recommends) typically sells for $349, but this bundle includes a digital download of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as well as a three-month Nintendo Switch Online membership. Those extras usually cost $60 and $10, respectively, so it’s like you’re getting $70 worth of bonuses for free.

Courtesy of Hulu

Hulu offers an enormous choice of new and classic TV shows and the ability to bundle in additional channels and services. It’s our top pick for cord cutters looking to replicate cable. Big shows from networks like ABC, Fox, and FX rub shoulders with Hulu Originals, so you’ll find shows like Lost, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Handmaid’s Tale, and Castle Rock. Check out the Best Shows and Best Movies on Hulu for more options.

This deal has been running for a while, but if you want both Hulu at the price above, and Disney Plus for a little less, this is the combo to buy. You can also throw in ESPN+ and get all three for $15 a month.

The basic Peacock service includes shows like Parks and Recreation, The Office, and Battlestar Galactica, as well as movies like The Big Lebowski, all with commercials. Pay for Premium and you unlock more content, with episodes from NBC shows available the day after they air, original series, and new movies. Our main complaint is that Peacock is riding hard on its back catalog.

Formerly HBO Max, Max is what happened when Discovery decided to fold Discovery+ into the mix and rebrand the newly created service as Max. In theory, this means Max has an expanded library, with a healthy dose of reality TV shows like Fixer Upper and MythBusters alongside HBO hits old and new, from The Wire and Game of Thrones to Succession and The Last of Us. Max is one of our top picks in our guide to the best streaming services.

This deal gets you our top pick for extra movies that you won’t find elsewhere. You get three month at $3 per month and then the price jumps to $10 per month. There are no ads for subscribers. You get some 4K and HDR content at no extra cost, up to four simultaneous streams, and can download content for offline viewing. The movie lineup changes frequently based on the latest licensing deals, but Starz has an agreement with Universal to get some of its movies first.

Jackery Explorer 300 Plus

Photograph: Jackery

If you want extra power for a camping or road trip but need something truly portable, the Jackery Explorer 300 Plus is worth a look and appears in our Best Portable Chargers guide. Cute and compact, this battery has a fold-out handle, packs a 288-Wh capacity, and weighs 8.3 pounds. It comes with a fold-out solar panel that can generate 40 watts. The fan can get a little noisy and it takes several hours to charge from solar. We have seen it discounted before, but never lower than this.

Our medium-capacity pick of the best portable power stations, the Biolite BaseCharge 1500 has recessed handles for easy carrying, a good mix of ports to charge a lot of small gadgets like phones, tablets, and laptops, and a wireless charging pad on top. The 1,521-watt-hour capacity is enough to keep you powered on a weekend camping trip. Sadly, it takes a long time to charge.

Taking the best overall slot in our Best Portable Power Stations guide, the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus (8/10, WIRED Recommends) brings you power wherever and whenever you need it. The LiFePO4 battery should be good for 10 years, the fan is relatively quiet, and it has a good mix of ports and outlets. You can also stack batteries if you need more power and charge via solar panels (sold separately). Some of the covers are tight and it’s heavy to lug around, but overall it’s a great power station. This is the lowest price we’ve seen on this one.

Sporting a large handle and weighing in at 17 pounds, this is the most portable pick in our Best Portable Power Stations guide. It offers 768 watt-hours, and has a wide range of ports and outlets to charge small gadgets. It takes over an hour to charge from the mains and has a standard XT60 connector for solar panels, but the fan can get noisy. While it has been discounted before, this is the lowest price we have ever seen. Ecoflow is also offering discounts on many other models if you need more power.

Satechi 165 Watt Charger

Photograph: Satechi

This handy charger has enough power to juice up two MacBook Pro models simultaneously. But it’s also great if you have a lot of devices around your desk that constantly need to be charged. It has a little stand to prop it up, a short cord that goes out to an outlet, and four USB-C ports that output 100 watts each. This is the lowest price we’ve tracked.

We like Anker’s chargers and its Prime range employs GaN technology to shrink the size down. This 67-watt charger has fold-out prongs and offers two USB-C ports and one USB-A. It can charge a MacBook and it supports fast charging for iPhones, Samsung Galaxy S phones, and Pixel phones.

This solid option from Anker made the honorable mentions in our Best Portable Chargers. It has a 10,000-mAh capacity, good for just shy of two full charges for most phones, a built-in USB-C cable that doubles as a loop for easy carrying, and an additional USB-C and USB-A port. It maxes out at 30 watts each way and can be fully charged in around two hours.

We haven’t written about it since 2019, but Twelve South’s Bluetooth accessory is indispensable for anyone who wants to enjoy in-flight entertainment without using wired headphones. It also works with hotel treadmills and game consoles, like the Nintendo Switch.

Photograph: Garmin

The Instinct 2S Solar (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is the best value for the money in the sports watch category. It has insanely good battery life thanks to its small, sharp monochrome screen. The Instinct can track an incredible array of fitness-related features and has three GPS systems to pinpoint location and distance, even at sea or under tree cover. It’s also our lead Fitness band reviewer, Adrienne So’s favorite watch.

Garmin’s Forerunner line of GPS-enabled fitness trackers is bewilderingly complex, but this is our favorite (8/10, WIRED Recommends). You get great battery life in a lightweight, comfortable watch. There’s all the detailed fitness tracking you’d expect, especially for running, hiking, and cycling. It also has pretty good sleep tracking. The Music version is also on sale for $300 ($100 off). It allows you to store and listen to music via Bluetooth headphones. If you’re not sure which model to get, have a look at our guide to picking the right Garmin.

If you’re breaking off your toothbrush handle to reduce weight in your hyperlight pack, you need an inReach Mini. It’s tiny—a mere 3.5 ounces—and utilizes the super-fast Iridium satellite network, which will let you send an SOS from anywhere on the planet. It’s our favorite tiny satellite messenger for traveling off-grid. It’s been at a lower price since October.

The Oura Ring is one of the first, and arguably one of the best, models of fitness tracker that you don’t have to wear on your wrist. Every model has a discount, although not all of them are the same price off. You will still need a $6/month Oura membership to access many of the best features.

This is the best price we’ve seen for the Fitbit Charge 6 (7/10, WIRED Review), the latest addition to the Charge lineup. At this price, the Fitbit Charge 6 is a simple and focused fitness tracker with a pretty robust suite of health metrics. However, its predecessor remains our favorite fitness tracker, but this model struggles, at times. The companion app leaves a bit to be desired, there’s no fall detection, and Bluetooth connectivity is glitchy. You should also be aware that to access every feature, you’ll need a Fitbit Premium subscription that costs $10 per month.

Withings just released the ScanWatch 2. This is the first generation of the company’s watch to be cleared by the FDA, and it’s now heavily discounted. This hybrid smartwatch (8/10, WIRED Recommends) looks exactly like an analog watch with a host of reliable health and fitness features.

Google Nest HubPhotograph: Google

We’re not sure if smart displays will be around forever, but if you want one, Google makes some of the best. This 2nd-gen Nest Hub (7/10, WIRED Recommends) doesn’t have a camera, so you have some privacy peace of mind. It’s compact with a 7-inch screen, which makes it ideal for your bedside table. It has sleep-sensing tech to track your sleep quality.

The Amazon Echo Show 10 is the best Alexa Smart Display. It can connect with other Echo speakers, and the large 10-inch screen swivels around the base so you can keep a recipe or a Zoom video call within easy view. As is true for all Amazon devices, this gadget is best if you frequently use other Amazon products and services.

The slightly smaller Echo Show 8 is a great choice if there isn’t room for the Show 10. The 8-inch screen is perfectly sized, big enough to read recipes or maybe even have a movie playing as you cook, but it isn’t so big it’ll take up precious counter real estate.

The Echo Show 5 is typically overpriced at $90, but the deal price of $40 matches the best we have tracked. Just keep in mind that it goes on sale quite frequently. We prefer the Echo Show 10 for its larger size, but the smaller footprint of the Echo Show 5 is good for a nightstand or tiny kitchen.

Google Nest Hub Max

Photograph: Google

The Google Nest Hub Max is our favorite smart display for a lot of reasons—the 10-inch touchscreen display, the solid speakers, and the unobtrusive display, to name a few. It also doubles beautifully as a digital photo frame if you’re a Google Photos user. This one has a camera, so you can use it with video-calling apps.

Smart bulbs are best when you can fill the entire room (or a couple rooms!) with them. This four-pack of our favorite smart bulbs is a good price to get four excellent smart bulbs. It’s a price we do see from time to time for this bundle, but still a good buy nonetheless.

The Cync Indoor Camera (9/10, WIRED Recommends) was one of the first to offer a privacy shutter that covers the lens when you’re home or don’t want to record. It also captures 1080p video at 25 frames-per-second, offers two-way audio, and accepts a microSD card (sold separately) for local storage (you can also subscribe for cloud storage from $3 per month). It is top of our Best Indoor Security Cameras guide, and this is as low as we’ve seen it go.

With a well-deserved reputation for quality, Philips Hue is perhaps the best-known smart lighting brand. This starter kit is a great way to try it out as it comprises three A19 bulbs, a Hue Bridge, and a Hue Smart Button. You can change color, temperature, and brightness from your phone with these bulbs, they work with all the main voice assistants, and they support scheduling and animated scenes. This is the upgrade pick in our Best Smart Bulbs guide. This kit is often discounted, but this is as low as we’ve ever seen it.

Govee LED Light Strip M1

Photograph: Govee

Bringing bright, vibrant colors to recessed spots around your home, this Matter-supporting light strip from Govee is one of our favorites. It has addressable zones, can sync to music, and supports a wide range of fancy lighting effects. Sadly, it can’t be trimmed and you need the messy Govee app to use the effects.

Wonderfully colorful, bright, diffused light streams from these modular bars, and they are easy to fit. This kit includes six bars and a corner piece. The Govee app offers some great animated scenes, and you can even create your own. Sadly, they lack physical controls, and you need a bunch of them to create an interesting pattern. They appear in our Best Smart Lighting guide.

Nanoleaf’s beautiful wall panels are eye-catching but usually pricey. While this isn’t a spectacular discount, it’s still a good sale to jump on if you’ve got the wall space for these hexagonal wall panels. Use that $40 to shop around the rest of Nanoleaf’s range of smart lights.

TP-Link Tapo C110

Photograph: TP-Link

If you just need a cheap way to monitor an entrance or area, this wired security camera can stream and record at up to 2K and reliably detects motion. The frame rate is low and there’s lag on the two-way audio. You also need to insert a microSD card to record locally or pony up for a subscription (from $3.50 a month). As the budget pick in our best indoor security cameras guide, the Tapo C110 is frequently discounted, but we have never seen it this low.

The smartest indoor security camera you can get, Google’s Nest Cam (Wired) blends in easily and accurately detects people, animals, and vehicles. It boasts HDR and a high frame rate to make the most of the 1080p footage. Sadly, you only get three hours of history unless you subscribe to Nest Aware starting from a pricey $6 per month, though it does also include familiar face recognition.

We called the Blink Mini cheap, compact, and versatile with good video quality in our Best Indoor Security Cams guide. It has two-way audio, accurate motion detection, and integration with Alexa. Like other Blink products, the best features are locked behind a premium subscription that starts at $3 a month. But that’s still pretty cheap compared to other security camera systems.

Even after you factor in the $3 per month (or $30 per year) subscription, this video doorbell is one of the cheapest we feature in (the honorable mentions section of) our Best Video Doorbells guide. It’s reliable enough and gets 1080p video quality, but don’t expect superfast notifications or a wide field of view. If you don’t want a subscription, consider buying it bundled with the Sync Module 2 ($47), which is also half-price right now.

This is a price match of the deals we saw on Prime Day. The Nest Video Doorbell is our favorite smart doorbell. Its reliable performance and solid video resolution place it far and above other similarly priced options.

Read our Best Robot Vacuums and Best Sheets guides for more picks.

JCPenny Wrinkle Guard Sateen Sheets

Photograph: JCPenney

These sateen sheets are soft and cool to the touch, drape beautifully, and won’t keep you too warm while you sleep. It’s hard to tell the difference between these and more expensive sateen sheets, making them a great value—and that’s before the current sale. (This price is for the queen version.)

Eucalyptus sheets? You might question why you’d want to dive into alternative materials for your bedsheets. Eucalyptus sheets usually take less water and less harsh materials to make, compared to cotton or bamboo sheets. Buffy’s Breeze Set is one of our favorite sets of sheets. It’s lightweight and airy, but still keeps you warm without making you sweaty.

We recommend this robot vacuum-mop as the best for the price, and it’s at an even better price right now. It has no mapping function, but that just means it doesn’t have a camera that can take pictures of your butt and send them to the company. The hardware is almost foolproof, but it does require boundary tape to prevent it from bringing the wet mop onto the carpet.

This is our top pick for the Best Robot Vacuum. Roborock’s entry-level vacuum is remarkably fast and thorough. It only rarely gets stuck and uses lidar, not cameras, to navigate through your home. It has multi-map capability for multi-story houses and also mop functionality.

This is our favorite cordless vacuum. Aside from reliable suction power, even on corrugated surfaces, it also stands on its own—a feature you’d think more cordless vacuums would have, but it’s surprisingly rare. The Extreme Max converts to a hand vac in a few moments and comes with three attachments. Read more about it in our dedicated buying guide.

The GE Cafe Affetto automatic espresso machine is one of our absolute favorites. Writer Jaina Grey isn’t a huge fan of automated espresso machines, so testing this she was pretty skeptical at first, but she found that she was using it every single day. There’s just something about pressing one button for the perfect Americano that really cast its spell on her. For more, check out our guides to the Best Espresso Machines, and the Best Automated Coffee Makers.

Imagine if those chocolate-based Advent calendars from your childhood didn’t suck. This Godiva calendar has 25 pieces of decadent chocolate nestled behind its cardboard doors. It made our list of the Best Advent Calendars. If you choose to shop at Macy’s you may be able to opt for free in-store pickup.

Not every kitchen has enough counter space. In my apartment, the only real space I (Matt Jancer) have for preparing food is this 42-inch-wide rolling island. There’s a bar for holding a pair of dish towels, hooks for hanging oven mitts, and swiveling wheels that roll easily, even when the cabinet is loaded with a couple hundred pounds of kitchen gear. The drawers and doors close nicely, and the solid wood frame and butcher block top feel beefier than the price suggests.

The quiet, undisputed king of rice cookers, the Zojirushi uses “fuzzy logic technology” with a microcomputer (hence the abbreviation “micom” in the product name) to make tiny adjustments in heat placement, ensuring that your grains are perfectly done, with minimal effort and no burned or wet spots. We have seen this one dip about $15 lower, but this is the lowest price we’ve seen in the last six months.

Dreaming of your very own KitchenAid? The 5.5-quart bowl is great for making large batches of cookies, kneading a few pounds of bread, or even mashing potatoes.

This was the only appliance on WIRED reviews editor Julian Chokkattu’s wedding registry—he uses it to make stale bread fresh again, but you can also use it to reheat pretty much anything. The Balmuda Toaster (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is a mini steam toaster, so you pour a tiny bit of water with the included (and equally cute) tiny cup into the top area. There are time recommendations for things like pizza, a croissant, or sandwich bread.

Stasher—a perennial favorite in our Best Reusable Products guide—is 40 percent off sitewide. Probably the best way to start off with these durable, versatile bags is with this starter set that covers every need you might possibly have, from stand-up bags to one for pocket snacks.

The justly popular Aeropress’s genius isn’t so much that makes great coffee (it does), but that it makes it really difficult to make bad coffee. I’ve yet to have bad coffee from an Aeropress, which is something I can’t really say for any other coffee brewer. If you’re looking for a simple, fool-proof way to make a cup, this is the tool you need. We have seen the price get a little lower, but this is the lowest we’ve seen it in six months.

This is an all-around great air fryer. It offers more than you’ll find in other air fryer models with 12-in-1 functionality, which includes cooking modes that range from searing and sautéing to baking and roasting. It can make one-pot meals, too, and comes with a recipe booklet to get you started.

For any house with at least one cat, the Litter Robot 4 (9/10 WIRED Recommends) is an excellent pick. During her review, our writer Medea Giordano found that the automated litter box did a great job of providing odor control and streamlining the whole process of scooping the litter box. The Litter Robot 4 uses internal sensors to detect if a cat is inside and waits until the sensors no longer detect the cat before rotating the internal drum to sift and dispose of the cat waste.

Sheertex claims its tights are nearly indestructible (in human hands), and our writer Jaina Grey found they lived up to the hype. They’re durable enough to just stuff your foot right into it without worrying about runs or snags. They’re also built to last. Jaina has had a couple pairs for about three years now, and they’re just as strong as they were on the first day they were worn. The only drawback is typically the high price, but with this discount they’re a great pick for anyone looking to upgrade their tights collection.

Aura makes the best digital picture frames. Photos look great, without being too bright and obvious—you want a digital frame to look like decor, not a smart display. Aura has a few options, and they’re discounted regularly. If you like the mat look, get this one. I prefer the standard Carver which is also discounted to $139 ($10 off). Aura’s newest frame, the 15-inch Walden is $249 ($50 off).

Big Blanket Co makes several oversized and cozy blankets. Reviewer Louryn Strampe is obsessed with the Original Stretch, and she’s currently testing the thicker Sherpa Stretch as well as the Hideout Hoodie. (Both of them are just as great). If you seek utmost coziness at all times, these products are worthwhile. Big Blanket Co products are 20 percent off on Amazon and the brand’s own website. If you’re spending more than $200, you’ll save more money shopping through Big Blanket Co directly.

We like basically everything we’ve tried from Verloop, and the whole site is 30 percent off with code HOLIDAY. Verloop’s mini tote is one of reviewer Medea Giordano’s favorites when she doesn’t need to carry much. This is a slightly bigger option from the brand, and it’s made from paper-thin nylon stuffed with scrap yarn. The result is a cool, colorful explosion reminiscent of the ’90s. There is a matching pouch too that you can use in whatever other bag you prefer. While it won’t fit your laptop, you could comfortably carry a tablet or a Kindle. The biggest issue is just how loud the nylon is when you touch it. It’s like walking with a chip bag.

This deal is part of a larger promotion offering 25 percent off site-wide. The robe is supremely comfy and comes in a wide array of colors and patterns. The towel-like material absorbs water after a shower, but the robe is also comfortable enough to wear for hours after your shower. (Does anyone else do that?)

Photograph: Owala

Reviewer Medea Giordano called this her “emotional support water bottle.” The Owala Freesip (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is colorful and durable, and the leakproof lid has a straw option as well as a sip option. Sip or slurp! The choice is yours. If you’re shopping at Owala, the discount will reflect in your cart. Every capacity is on sale, but prices vary by retailer and color, so double-check and compare before you purchase. The deals generally match the lowest prices we’ve seen.

Let’s admit it: You’re probably going to buy some Lego sets this year anyway. If you plan to spend $50 on the bricks, you can pick up a bonus $10 gift card for Target. Which, theoretically, you could use to buy more Lego kits. There’s really no reason not to.

If you’re like me, you don’t even think about putting up Christmas decorations until it’s almost Thanksgiving already. Fortunately, there’s still time for folks like us to grab an artificial tree. Target’s knocking up to 50 percent off all its artificial trees before the rush even begins.

On top of Christmas trees, Target also offers discounts on all of its holiday decor. Ornaments, garlands, lights, and every little doodad and knick-knack you can put on your shelf is on sale, up to 30 percent already. There’s even a special section just for Christmas tree ornaments.

My Green Mattress Kiwi Hybrid Mattress

Photograph: My Green Mattress

Use code HOLIDAYS at checkout to apply the discount. This $649 price is $70 less than when the sale first started. We’ve seen it get cheaper, but not this year, so this is a solid price. This hybrid mattress is made using certified organic cotton, wool, and latex. Its twin size is cheaper than most of our favorite picks, but it’s still comfortably firm, my kids loved it..

The discount should be added automatically when you go to check out. While this honorable mention mattress is often discounted, Keetsa is not a forever-sale type of brand, so we appreciate it when actual deals happen. This is a softer mattress, and our side-sleeping tester wasn’t blown away by it, but he slept comfortably through the night.

Enter code BFCM2023 at checkout to get this discount plus two free pillows. Like Keetsa, Molecule doesn’t run constant deals, and this is the lowest price we’ve tracked for it. It has held up well after a year, and I find it comfortable, but it’s very soft. My husband and I agree that it’s better suited for back sleeping than the flip-flopping that I tend to do all night.

My Green Mattress Organic Latex Topper

Photograph: My Green Mattress

Use code HOLIDAYS to get the lowest price we’ve tracked on this mattress topper. If your mattress is still in good shape, you can get a refresh and potentially save yourself a few thousand bucks with a topper. My Green Mattress, the company that makes our favorite organic kids’ bed, also makes our favorite firm topper. It’s two inches of certified organic latex wrapped in an organic cotton cover, and despite being reasonably firm, it contours nicely, and you should be comfortable sleeping on your side. WIRED writer Scott Gilbertson said while sleeping on his stomach or back he didn’t touch his actual mattress at all, and just barely when he rolled to his side.

Our favorite customizable couch, the Lovesac couch—aka Sactional—is expensive, but expandable. Only have space for a two-seater now? Turn that into a three-seater when you have your first kid, or even a 10-seater when you move into a house with a basement. Add storage seats and power hubs and switch out the machine-washable covers when you redecorate. You can configure and reconfigure it in a number of ways, including by making the seats deeper. The price on this deal varies wildly depending on how many pieces you want, but the stealthtech is also included.

The Plufl (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is a cozy place for reading, watching TV, or otherwise lounging in before getting into your actual bed. It’s typically $399 on Amazon, so this is more like $100 off than $200, still, it’s a good chunk discounted from a very pricey accessory. The plush cover is cozy and soft, and it’s machine washable. If the bolsters are too stiff or tall for your liking, you can take out some of the stuffing.

We tested the Albany Park Kova sofa for our Best Couches guide and found that it was really comfortable and super easy to assemble. It’s long enough for our 6’4″ editor Julian Chokkattu to stretch out on comfortably, with room to spare for another person and a small dog. It held up fairly well after about a year, but the cushions do need some adjustments now and then. You might find yourself pushing them back into place after sitting on it for a while. Still, it’s a plush and pleasant pick for any living room.

Check out our Best Office Chairs guide and our Work-From-Home Gear guide for more picks.

The Zeph looks like it’s a choice for aesthetics rather than comfort. Especially since it’s made of plastic, and the only adjustment you can make is moving it up or down. But WIRED editor Julian Chokkattu found it quite comfortable. After a month of sitting in it, he says, it was still supportive for his 6’4″ frame, and it can even double as a fine-enough recliner. He recommends adding on the seat pad and arms, which will run the sale price up to $516 ($129 off, so still a good deal).

If you’re looking for luxury in your office chair, this is the one to buy. WIRED editor Julian Chokkattu says it can take a few weeks to get used to it, but it’s worthwhile. The upright positioning supports your back, and the initially rigid seat will become more comfortable over time. It’s one of the most adjustable chairs around, allowing you to pull out the seat, change the height and angle of the armrests, and change the Backfit adjustment to fit your spine perfectly. Note: You’ll need to choose a graphite frame and medley upholstery to see the lowest price.

X-Chair X2

Photograph: X-Chair 

If you need a wide seat and your room tends to run hot, then get this X-Chair. The all-mesh design allows for excellent airflow, whisking your body heat away so that you don’t end up sweaty. It’s comfy, like sitting on a hammock, and well-built.

It’s heavy, but it’s built to last. The Ergotron LX Monitor Arm is worth the weight not just for how long it lasts, but its great range of movement. WIRED contributor Simon Hill says it’s easy to adjust his monitor—the 34-inch Alienware display—into a better position. It stays nice and stable while latched onto a standing desk, and it doesn’t wobble where others do. Plus, it has built-in cable management and can handle displays up to 34 inches (like Simon’s!) and up to 25 pounds.

This is our favorite office chair. It’s easy to assemble and there are tons of little tweaks you can make to dial it the fit. You can push the armrest back and forward, up and down; the seat can extend out or be pushed all the way in; you can lock the recline. There’s even adjustable lumbar support. Fair warning though: Pet hair tends to cling to the upholstery, and I’ve noticed the fabric on the front end of the seat tends to pill quite quickly, but this is a great deal on an excellent chair.

Photograph: Branch

Take everything about the Branch Ergonomic Chair and upgrade it a notch—that’s the Branch Verve. It looks more elegant (especially in the lovely Coral color), it keeps my back straighter, it’s quite comfy, and it can make nearly the same adjustments with a higher level of polish. Branch’s Ergonomic Chair is excellent for most people, but the Verve is the more refined seat if your budget can stretch.

This deal features a pretty good standing desk we’ve been testing. It comes in two size options, and it’s fairly simple to operate. It’s stable, looks great, and is quiet. You can attach various accessories easily, like a cable organizer and a drawer.

This is the luxe standing desk in our Best Work From Home Gear guide. It’s very roomy, has height presets, and it’s really stable. It’s pricey, but dual motors shift the desk up and down quickly, quietly, and with zero wobbles. It has a range of 25 to 52 inches tall, and there’s a hole to route your cables.

Photograph: Eero

If you’re battling Wi-Fi dead zones in your house, a mesh router can help. Eero’s Pro 6E (7/10, WIRED Recommends) makes setup as simple and hands-off as possible, each unit should cover 2,000 square feet, and you can mix and match with other Eeros. The brand’s subscription is pricey at $10 a month, and includes nice extras like parental controls and network security, but you don’t have to subscribe for it to work. You can also pick up a 2-pack for $180 ($120 off) or a 3-pack for $400 ($150 off).

Apollo Phantom V3

Photograph: Apollo

Enter code WIRED10 at checkout to see the discount. The Phantom V3 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is a beast of an electric scooter at 77 pounds, but it has excellent range. WIRED reviews editor Julian Chokkattu traversed on it from Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, to Fort Lee, New Jersey—a 22-mile trip—and had 43 percent left in the tank. Now that’s a commuter scooter.

Enter code WIRED10 at checkout to see the discount. WIRED reviewer Julian Chokkattu tested the 2022 model of the Air (6/10, WIRED Review) and wasn’t crazy about it, but the 2023 model gets notable tweaks, like a revamped handlebar, self-healing tires, and a better folding mechanism. The 500-watt motor can go up to 21 miles per hour, and most people should expect roughly 15 miles of range or less at those speeds (depending on other factors as well).

Our favorite micro ebike, the Jackrabbit (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is a great option for getting around short distances. It’s light, portable, and adorable. The biggest downside is its low range, but with this deal you can get an extra battery and go further for less. Just make sure to use the coupon code.

The Fluidfreeride Mosquito escooter (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is one of our favorites because it’s easy to carry but still can hit speeds up to 24 miles per hour. It has a loud horn and front and rear lights, and it can quickly fold up for easy storage.

Photograph: Aventon

We’ve tried several Aventon models and appreciate the high level of quality for a relatively low price point (the accessories are better than Lectric’s, too). This fat-tire ebike (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is affordable, versatile, and has built-in commuter essentials. We also like the Soltera.2 and the Abound, which are also on sale.

The Fluidfreeride Mosquito escooter (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is lightweight and easy to carry, but still packs a top speed of 24 miles per hour, a loud horn, drum breaks, plus front and read lights. It has a quick folding system too, and you can even fold the handlebars. This price is a nice deal on it.

This is the affordable, DTC version of the now defunct VanMoof (8/10, WIRED Recommends). You get a stylish, attractive bike for not a lot of money. All of Wing’s bikes are currently on sale.

Photograph: Ride1Up

Ride1Up positions the Cafe Cruiser as its light, affordable daily cruiser (7/10, WIRED Recommends) but with a 750W motor and a 65-pound frame, it’s pretty big and powerful for an entry-level bike. Still, at this price (and for these specs!) it’s a pretty amazing value.

This inflatable paddleboard is well built and durable, and it packs up super small. During his testing, our writer Scott Gilbertson said he had the most fun on the water he’s had for maybe decades with this paddleboard. It’s easy to use, easy to pack up and get deployed, and a great pick for anyone interested in paddleboarding—even beginners. For more, check out our review (7/10 WIRED Recommends).

We tested the premium version of this bike (8/10, WIRED Recommends) and loved it. The best way to describe it is that it’s one of Specialized’s cushiony, comfy mountain bikes that has been given a motor and some adjustments to make it an all-around quiver killer. This will be the most-used bike you own.

Be sure to check out our full list of outdoors deals or Black Friday for more suggestions.

Our favorite lumbar pack, The Tour is loaded with pockets, which gives you far more stash spaces than would seem possible in a pack this size. We’ve had no trouble fitting a change of clothes and a couple of meals in here, in addition to the gear you’ll need for a full day on the trail or on a bike. The 13L version is also on sale for $75 ($25 off).

This is our favorite lightweight family backpacking tent. It isn’t quite as pricey as comparable options, and it’s not much heavier. I used this with my three kids, and it had plenty of interior space. That said, three adults will be more comfortable than four. The mesh at the top provides great ventilation on warm summer nights and the crossover pole helps it stand up well in the wind. The 1-person, 2-person, and 3-person sizes are also on sale.

This shirt is an updated version of the all-season version we like. This one is 100 percent merino and fits fairly snug, making it a good choice for layering. The price varies by color, but most are $86. The women’s version is also on sale, in some cases for even less (select colors).

Photograph: GoRuck

We love GoRuck’s over-the-top sturdy packs. Packs don’t come better made than this. The Bullet is the smallest of GoRuck’s bags and makes a good pack for around town (the laptop compartment is awesome) or short, lightweight hikes. GoRuck’s packs aren’t cheap, but this deal makes the price a little easier to bear.

The WhisperLite Universal is a legend for good reason. It’ll burn just about anything (isobutane-propane, white gas, gasoline, kerosene), making it a great choice for traveling internationally or wherever you don’t know what kind of fuel will be available. Flame control is a little tricky, but I have managed to get it to simmer, as long as the wind isn’t too bad.

This is another deal that thankfully keeps going. I got my first Petzel Tikka in 2000. It lasted 15 years and would probably still be going if I hadn’t accidentally run over it. These will stand up to a lot, but not the full weight of car, as it turns out. I am now on my second Tikka, and it’s still the best headlamp I’ve ever used. Truthfully, these days I use a USB headlamp most of the time, but when I hit the trail I still take the Tikka and a set of extra (rechargeable) batteries.

Once my favorite shoe (I’ve since moved to the even more minimalist Z-Trek Sandal), these remain a great choice for beginners and experienced barefooters alike. Think of these as the barefoot answer to Chacos. Except where Chacos are like putting tractors on your feet, the Z-Trails still flex and bend as you walk, giving your feet the freedom of movement you expect from a barefoot shoe. The kids’ Z-Trails are also a great deal at $30 ($30 off).

If you hike, camp, or have a disaster kit at the ready, a LifeStraw is a good thing to include. It filters contaminated water without batteries or other accessories. Grab a BPA-free bottle to filter into and you’ll get out 99.99 percent of waterborne bacteria for up to 1,000 gallons of water. By then you’ll have either made it to the survivors’ camp in Vermont or the zombies will have won.

The Hydro Jug Pro (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is a truly gargantuan water bottle. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea—er, water—but if you struggle with staying hydrated or keeping your water bottle full, this absolute unit may be of some assistance. Clip the coupon on the product page to save. We’ve not seen the bottle sell for less.

Lo & Sons Nouvelle.

Photograph: Lo & Sons

The Nouvelle (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is one of our new favorite bags. It’s made from durable, recycled nylon and the strap converts from a cross-body to a shoulder bag. It works across styles too, looking casual with jeans and sleek with dressy outfits. This price is only for three colors, however, navy, black with silver hardware, and black with gold hardware. Strangely, the other colors are only 20 percent off, at $140.

Do we even have to introduce the often-imitated Aviators? The classic teardrop lenses have been wowing folks for nearly a hundred years to the extent that they define the style of “Aviators,” and so you may as well buy the real deal. Ray-Ban Aviators are often on sale, but we haven’t seen them this cheap. Unlike with cheaper brands, reviewer Matt Jancer has yet to have the tinting flake off a pair of Ray-Ban lenses, and the optical quality is spot-on.

Everything that Yeti makes is insanely overpriced, and also the best thing we’ve ever touched. Reviews editor Adrienne So has owned this blanket for several years. It has a waterproof bottom, comes in its own carrying sack, is machine washable, and is weighted enough to not fly away at an outdoor concert. You can view Yeti tumblers on sale at their Amazon landing page.

We love pretty much everything Peak Design makes, which is amazing because almost everything is currently 10 to 15 percent off. Reviews editor Adrienne So particularly likes the Bike Mount, which locks your phone in place with the Everyday Case (which is also on sale, unless you want the iPhone 15 or Pixel 8 versions).

Milwaukee 18-Volt 7-Power Tool Combo

There are plenty of fine tool brands out there, but Milwaukee power tools last longer and stand up to more abuse. If you haven’t joined the cordless power tool revolution and need, well, nearly everything, this combo can’t be beat. You get a power drill, circular saw, grinder, and more. The two rechargeable batteries fit all the tools and come with a charger, so you can have one charging while using the other.

Product reviewer Matt Jancer tested this leaf blower this summer and was pleasantly surprised—it has all the power of your gas blower with hardly any of the noise. The 450-CFM airflow makes for 120-mph gusts to move leaves, lawn clippings, and whatever else you need to get out of the way. into order. This deal comes with two batteries and a charger, and since it uses the same M18 battery as the tools in the Milwaukee power tool combo above, you can swap these batteries freely among them.

This is arguably the best value in a garage workbench out there right now. The solid-wood top is 1.25 inches thick (!), and the legs are adjustable in height. It’s capable of holding an astounding 3,000 pounds. One cool feature of the Husky workbench is that two of either the Husky 1-Door-2-Drawer Base Cabinet or the Husky 2-Door Base Cabinet will nest right underneath the workbench for extra, out-of-the-way storage, with the same impressive build quality and cohesive design.

Traeger Ironwood 650

The Wi-Fi-equipped Ironwood 650 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is the best pellet grill/smoker in our Best Grills guide. The app lets you dial in your cook settings while you lounge around (or prep the rest of the meal). The “650” refers to the square inches of grill space, which is enough to smoke three or four racks of ribs at a time, or six whole chickens.

Our favorite luxury upgrade grill, Traeger’s Timberline (7/10, WIRED Recommends) can feed a small army. In our testing, the Timberline had no trouble smoking 50 pounds of pork shoulder while WIRED editor and backyard chef Parker Hall monitored the temps while entertaining a small gathering of some 100 people. If you want a pellet grill that can handle anything, this is your best bet.

This is the lowest price we’ve seen on Biolite’s FirePit+. We liked the original version; this newer model can be used as a heating source, a phone charger, and a snazzy portable grill. The whole thing folds down and packs up for easy storage in the included bag.

According to WIRED editor Parker Hall, Solo Stove’s Yukon firepit (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is nearly indestructible with its stainless steel design, yet it’s still lightweight and gets nice and hot without any lighter fluid or kindling required. (His tip: Get harder wood, like oak, so it’ll last longer within the firepit.)

Want to bring a little of the camping vibe to your backyard? Grab a firepit and start roasting smores on the patio. We’ve tested the larger Solo Stove Yukon, which we love, but most people looking for a fire pit in their backyard should go with smaller versions like the Bonfire. These smokeless fire pits burn wood quickly, they’re nearly indestructible, and they are easy to light.

Lelo’s Sila is one of our favorite suction toys. According to writer Louryn Strampe, it has a broad mouth that offers diffuse stimulation, and the air pressure pulses simulate the sucking sensation of oral sex. It’s a great little toy, and this is the Cruise version. That means that it does everything the standard Sila does, but when you press it against your body harder, the suction intensity steadily ramps up. It’s an intuitive feature that can really intensify those final moments of orgasm.

The Kurve is a nice, smooth silicone vibrator. Our writer Jaina Grey was a big fan during testing, finding that the buttons were placed intuitively, and everything was easy to reach when it was in use (on yourself or a partner). The curve makes it easy to reach the internal structures of the clitoris (the G-spot).

This strap-on harness from Lovehoney is an excellent pick for anyone’s first harness. According to our writer Jaina Grey, during testing the straps were easy to manage and adjust, were unobtrusive, and keep out of the way. The O-ring is a nice middle size, big enough to accommodate mostly smaller and moderately sized dildos. This one includes a 5-inch dildo with a small to moderate width.

For anyone interested in adding some extra flair to their plug play, the Dominix Tail Plug is made of easy-to-clean stainless steel and includes a stylish faux fur fox tail. During testing, writer Jaina Grey found that the tail adds some additional sensation to the whole plugging experience, and it’s super cute and soft to the touch as well. A great pick for role-play, solo play, or just for anyone looking for something a little different.

Lovehoney’s Mini Wand is coated in a silky-soft silicone, and the form factor makes it super easy to use with just one hand—on yourself or a partner. It features the standard wand shape, so the head offers diffuse stimulation to a broad genital area, making it a real crowd pleaser. During testing, writer Jaina Grey found that the Mini Wand offered reasonable power and intensity for the size (and price).
