Vacuum and smart home deals
Take your home to the next level with deals on all of the best appliances, speakers and security systems.

iRobot Roomba 694 Robot Vacuum

Deal price: $180; street price: $250
.
A robot vacuum, if your pets can tolerate it while it's in action, is one of the best ways for dog and cat owners to deal with the inevitable accretion of hair. This is a nice opportunity to save on a variant of one of our top robot vacuum picks. The 600 series comes in a number of versions, but if it’s a Roomba and the model number starts with a 6, our expert guide writers note they're all about the same except that Wi-Fi capabilities vary from model to model, and the aesthetics can be different. The 694 in particular is Wi-Fi enabled and works with Google Assistant & Amazon Alexa.

iRobot Roomba i3+ Robot Vacuum

Deal price: $400; street price: $535
.
Nimble and great for getting pet hair out of carpets and rugs, the iRobot Roomba i3+ is one of our upgrade robot vacuum picks. The i3+ is an impressive cleaner that can thoroughly clean a large space, and most notably, empties itself when done. Though it's not as clever or fast as some other models, this durable bot is great for bigger homes and comes with a handy bin that you'll only need to empty every month or two. This matches the lowest price we've seen for this model and is only the second time we've seen it on sale, so it's a great time to pick it up.

iRobot Roomba i6+ Robot Vacuum

Deal price: $550; street price: $700
.
The i6+ is essentially identical to the Roomba i7+. Though many modern robot vacuums have caught up to these higher end models since their release, it's still difficult to beat Roomba's overall durability and repairability. This model also adds a much smarter navigation system that you can program to clean specific rooms (or even sections of a room) through a Wi-Fi app, and empties itself when it’s full or finished cleaning.

Eufy RoboVac 11S

Deal price: $138; street price: $225
.
Our budget pick, the Eufy RoboVac 11S is currently down to a great price if you're in the market for a robot vacuum. We liked the 11S for its unobtrusive presence, and ability to tackle both hardwood and short-pile carpeted floors. Its flatter shape also increases maneuverability underneath furniture. While its longevity isn't as reliable as the Roomba's and it doesn't work best on thicker carpets, this is still a solid deal for a vacuum you'll use weekly, if not daily.

Eufy RoboVac 30 Robot Vacuum

Deal price: $140; street price: $200
.
A variant of our budget robot vacuum pick, this particular Eufy model has stronger suction than the 11s and includes extra boundary markers—perfect for those who want the ability to restrict their vacuum to certain areas in their home. Like the 11s, this Eufy likely won't be as reliable as a Roomba, but it's a solid choice if your priority is affordability and you want an effective, hassle-free option.

Eufy BoostIQ RoboVac 15C Robot Vacuum

Deal price: $170; street price: $250

While all Eufy RoboVacs provide a similar experience and quality, with varying additional features, the Eufy 15C is a model that we hold comparable to our current budget pick (the 11S). Working excellently on bare floors and short-pile rugs, this particular model includes Wi-Fi and Alexa support.

Roborock S4 Max Robot Vacuum

Deal price: $280 with clipped on-page coupon; street price: $430
.
A brilliant navigator, the Roborock S4 Max will learn the layout of your entire home in a single cleaning session. The map can then be further customized through the app with no-clean zones and avoided rooms—all without the need to to install physical barriers or markers. Though we found that it may struggle a bit on certain carpet types, this versatile robot vacuum will efficiently move through most homes and help keep them tidy. If purchasing from Amazon, make sure to clip the on-page coupon to access this deal.

Roborock S6 Pure Robot Vacuum and Mop

Deal price: $360 with clipped on-page coupon; street price: $450

An improved version of our current upgrade pick, the Roborock S6 Pure boasts all the most useful functions of a robot vacuum—like impressive navigation and interactive mapping—plus a few handy extras. Compared to the S4, the S6 Pure has a better battery life, added mop attachment, and a few design differences that make it less likely to get stuck on plush rugs or thresholds. While we don't think the extras are necessary, with the price down to $350 with a clipped coupon, this is a great deal on a reliable robot vacuum cleaner.

Miele Classic C1 Pure Suction Canister Vacuum

Deal price: $255; street price: $290
.
The Miele Classic C1 Pure Suction, a vacuum we really like for use on bare floors (or flat low-pile rugs), is available on sale for $255 from a street price around $290. The C1 lacks a roller, making it most suitable for those without thick rugs. It also operates a little louder than our Miele picks in other guides and doesn't have a crushproof hose or a filtration system that's quite as impressive as those options. However, we think it's a nice upgrade option if you're someone with hardwoods looking for an eminently reliable vacuum.

Ecobee SmartThermostat with Voice Control

Deal price: $200; street price: $250
.
A smart thermostat is a great upgrade for any home. It'll learn your schedule, balance temperatures, and potentially cut down your electric bill. If you're looking to make an upgrade, the Ecobee is a sleek option that works with most smart-home platforms, including Apple HomeKit and Amazon Alexa. The added voice control microphone means you can play music, relay the news, control your home’s smart lights, and turn the A/C up or down—all without ever leaving the couch. We've seen slightly better deals on this pick in the past, but this discount matches the lowest it has dropped this year.

Google Nest Thermostat (Cotton Snow)

Deal price: $100; street price: $130
.
A less expensive and less complicated smart thermostat, the Google Nest Thermostat is a solid option that we speak well of in our guide. While it doesn't have remote temperature sensors and doesn't "learn" your heating and cooling habits and schedule, it's still a solid budget option that works perfectly with the Google Nest ecosystem. A great option for when you need a no-frills smart thermostat, while this isn't the lowest price we've seen, this is still a solid discount.

Wemo WiFi Smart Plug

Deal price: $14; street price: $20
.
If you need to integrate your smart plug into an Apple HomeKit system, the Wemo WiFi Smart Plug is the one to get. Though it supports all three major voice platforms (Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit), this device costs about half the price of most other HomeKit-compatible plugs. The smallest of our single-outlet picks, this is a solid deal on this compact device.

Arlo Essential Video Doorbell (Wired)

Deal price: $80; street price: $130
.
Besides offering great hardware and fast response times, the Arlo was the only smart doorbell we tested that could distinguish among people, animals, vehicles, or packages—so it kept false alerts to a minimum (a common issue we ran into with other models). If you want advanced sensing options and the ability to capture video clips up to five minutes long, you'll need a $3-per-month Arlo Smart subscription. But overall we think this is a fair price for these essential features.

Eufy Security Video Doorbell 2K (Wired)

Deal price: $99 with clipped on-page coupon; street price: $145
.
A smart doorbell camera allows you to keep an eye on your door, even when you're away from home. We think our runner-up pick is affordable and feature-packed, including a lot of complex features that other companies charge for, like an internal memory that's able to store up to 30 days worth of video as well as the ability to distinguish between people and ambient motion. Between its wide recording angle, local and cloud storage ($30 per year), and customizable responses, this wired option will give you extra security and awareness 24/7. Back down to $105, this deal matches some of the better pricing we've seen for this video doorbell.

Eufy 2K Indoor Security Cam C24

Deal price: $30; street price: $40
.
An indoor security camera lets you keep tabs on the things at home that matter most. As our top pick for daily use, the Eufy 2K Indoor Cam offers a sharp image, four options for video storage, and continuous recording. Plus, its smart-assistant connection allows you to hook up to Alexa or Google Assistant for added integration into your smart-home. A pair of security cameras is likely the minimum you'll need if you're monitoring a larger space, but a single camera will provide enough coverage for any room. Make sure you choose store pickup to grab this low price.

EufyCam 2 Pro Wireless Security Camera (2-Pack)

Deal price: $250; street price: $350
.
Outdoor security cameras can give you a little added peace of mind when you're away from home. Down to $250 (price reflects in cart), the EufyCam 2 Pro is the perfect system for those seeking a low maintenance wireless option, offering the best rechargeable battery of all the cordless options we tested. This security camera delivers a great image, HomeKit support, and three options for storing footage.

Ring Alarm 5-Piece Home Security System (2nd Generation)

Deal price: $120; street price: $200
.
Starting at $10/month, this 5-piece kit has the least expensive optional no-contract live-monitoring plan out of all our picks and includes a base station, keypad, contact sensor, motion sensor, and siren. It was bumped from the top slot in our guide because we no longer consider Ring cameras to be the most comprehensive, but it's still an overall affordable and simple DIY system. If you're looking for a reliable, inexpensive security system for doors, windows, and entryways, this deal is just shy of the lowest price we've seen for this kit.

Ring Alarm 8-Piece Home Security System (2nd Generation)

Deal price: $150; street price: $250
.
A good home security system should help deliver a little peace of mind without breaking the bank. Though the Ring Alarm doesn't have quite as many bells and whistles as our other picks, it's a great solution if budget is your top priority. Ring is easy to use and has the option to self-monitor at no extra cost—although it's $20 per month for a live-monitoring plan. The 8-piece kit includes a base station, keypad, motion detector, range extender, and four contact sensors. This deal isn't the best price we've seen for this configuration, but it's still worth checking out if you're seeking an affordable security upgrade for your home.

TP-Link Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Light Switch Dimmer HS220 (3-pack)

Deal price: $45; street price: $60
.
Smart switches can add a little pizzazz and convenience to your home, allowing you to control the lighting with an app or voice command no matter where you are. Reliable and affordable, the HS220 has three simple buttons (dimming, on, and off) and works with smart assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. This is a solid deal on our top pick, so now is a great time to grab a pack of three switches for just $45.

Lutron Caséta Wireless In-Wall Smart Dimmer Bundle

Deal price: $80; street price: $100
.
Update your home's lighting with an in-wall smart light switch. This bundle includes the Caseta smart bridge, dimmer switch, a Pico 3-button dimming remote, and a Pico wall plate bracket wallplate. Easy to use and reliable, the Caséta is compatible with a wide variety of smart devices and doesn’t require a neutral wire for installation—a particularly handy feature for older homes. It's pricier than our other picks and lacks the ability to remember the last used setting, but the Caséta still lets you create rooms, zones, scenes, and automated schedules.

Yeelight Smart LED Color Bulb

Deal price: $23 with clipped on-page coupon; street price: $30
.
An option we recommend from our LED light bulb guide, the Yeelight Smart LED Color is down to $23 with clipped on-page coupon. Compatible with Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, and Google Assistant, this is brighter than most smart bulbs and offers several special features that competing bulbs don't. Discounts on this full-featured bulb are few and far between, so this deal is a good chance to save if you're looking to smarten up your home's lighting.

Wyze Bulb Color (2-Pack)

Deal price: $20 with delayed shipping; street price: $27
.
This soon-to-be pick produces 1100 lumens and 75 watts of brightness. It also supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth that can be controlled locally, and includes a plethora of features like, tunable white control, sleep routines, and a Vacation Mode. The Wyze bulb is compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and IFTTT. This discount is the first deal we've posted and includes two of these smart LED bulbs to help get you started.

Echo Dot Kids Edition Smart Speaker (4th Generation)

Deal price: $35; street price: $50
.
Available again for $35, this deal matches the lowest price we've seen for the newest version of our budget kid-focused Alexa smart speaker pick. For about half the price, we found that the Dot sounds good enough to use as a nightstand or small kitchen speaker, and it includes all the standard Alexa features. The Kids Edition even features cute child-friendly designs, such as a tiger or panda print.

Computer and computer accessory deals

TP-Link Deco S4 Wi-Fi Mesh-Networking Kit

Deal price: $110; street price: $130
.
If you're combatting a bad Wi-Fi signal in your home (and you've already tried moving your router), a mesh-networking kit may be the next step. Our budget pick was able to quickly feed simulated web traffic to our three test laptops while three other laptops were streaming 4K video and downloading files simultaneously. It only has two Ethernet ports and doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some pricier models, but the Deco is still a great way to get better wireless coverage in a large space when you're on a budget.

Eero Pro 6 Wi-Fi Mesh-Networking Kit (2-pack)

Deal price: $300; street price: $400
.
While our main Wi-Fi mesh-networking kit picks have optional settings for tweaking their network performance, there’s something to be said about a mesh network you set up once, and almost never have to think about again. The Eero Pro 6 is easy to set up and removes many router settings for simplicity’s sake. However, it missed the mark as one of our picks because it's one of the most expensive mesh kits we’ve tested so far. That being said, solid alternative as a simple, set-it-and-forget-it networking solution, if you can absorb the initial investment and the added online security and parental controls that cost $30-120 per yearly subscription. This price drop for the set of two hubs is the best price we've seen so far for this setup.

TP-Link Archer AX50 Wi-Fi Router

Deal price: $115; street price: $150
.
Our top pick from our guide to the best Wi-Fi routers, the TP-Link Archer AX50 is currently down to the lowest we've seen. Able to create speedy, responsive networks in even medium-sized houses, we found that you would have to spend a lot more on a router—or a mesh kit, to get anything even a little better. Deals on this model are scarce, so this is an excellent chance to pick one up if you're in need of a new router.

TP-Link Archer AX20 Wi-Fi Router

Deal price: $85; street price: $110
.
Combating unreliable Wi-Fi in your home? Update your aging router with our runner-up pick. The AX20 offers fewer features than our top pick, but it's more affordable and holds up in throughput and responsiveness—particularly if your house isn’t larger than 2,300-square-feet. This deal is only $5 shy of the best price we've seen for the AX20.

TP-Link Archer A20 Wi-Fi Router

Deal price: $110; street price: $125
.
Our former top pick for the best Wi-Fi router, the TP-Link Archer A20 is available for a new low price—albeit after a substantial decrease in street price. Although this aging router is no longer an official pick, the Archer A20 still performed well in our latest round of testing. It lacked the long-range coverage of our newer picks and ended up ranking in the middle of the pack overall, but we think it's a solid choice for folks with a lot of devices who want to take advantage of its tri-band radio.

TP-Link RE220 Wi-Fi Extender

Deal price: $20; street price: $23
.
If spotty Wi-Fi is standing between you and your next Netflix marathon, you might need a Wi-Fi extender. Affordable and compact, our top pick is a dirt-cheap, dual-band Wi-Fi extender that improved the Wi-Fi quality and connection reliability of our standalone router in testing. Though it will also slightly slow the speed of your internet, we still found the experience to be more responsive and less frustrating than without the extender. The RE220 has seen a decrease in street price over the past few months but we've yet to see this pick drop any lower.

Lexar Professional 1066x microSD Card (512 GB)

Deal price: $75; street price: $98
.
Though it doesn't have the raw speed of our tops picks, the Lexar Professional 1066x is fast enough for an action camera, a game system, or a tablet. The 1066x passed the same performance tests as the Kingston and SanDisk, but the write tests were a bit slower. It's still fast enough that we think it's a good alternative when our top picks are out of stock. Coming in at a new low price, this is a great time to pick up a microSD card for your devices. If you don't need as much space or have a tighter budget, the 256 GB version is also on sale, down to $33 (from $38).

SanDisk MicroSDXC Card for Nintendo Switch (128 GB)

Deal price: $20; street price: $24
.
Striking the perfect balance between consistent performance and cost effectiveness, the SanDisk MicroSDXC Card for Nintendo Switch (128 GB) is down to $20. Our top microSD pick boasts fast write speeds in a compact and durable package, but don't let the cute Super Mario theme fool you—in addition to being a great accessory for our flexible gaming console pick, the Switch card works great with any electronics that need a microSDXC—such as phones, tablets, and other gaming systems.

Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless USB Gaming Mouse

Deal price: $30; street price: $40

If you're looking for a small wireless gaming mouse and favor a claw grip, this is a good opportunity to save on a former budget pick. Similar in size, shape, and button placement to our current budget pick, the Logitech G305 Lightspeed is a solid alternative if you want to go wireless. Do note that unlike some of our other picks, this mouse can only connect via USB dongle—while better for gaming (due to the lower latency), it's not as convenient as options with Bluetooth.

Razer Basilisk Ultimate Wireless Gaming Mouse

Deal price: $80; street price: $120
.
In many ways, the Razer Basilisk Ultimate is nearly identical to our top gaming mouse pick (its size, shape, switches, etc.). However, the Ultimate excels in comfort and wireless functionality, securing its spot as a worthy upgrade pick. It's just as fast and responsive as most wired options, and has a decent battery life as well, but note that this deal does not include the charging dock. Normally quite a high-cost accessory, this deal is a nice opportunity to save on a wireless upgrade.

Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard & Mouse

Deal price: $80; street price: $100
.
Though it's only partially split and you can't customize its tenting angle, the Microsoft Sculpt is a great affordable and wireless ergonomic keyboard option. Though we prefer the mechanical keys of other picks, the Sculpt is a great model for budget-conscious folks testing out the waters of ergonomic keyboards. Plus, it connects to your computer via a 2.4 GHz wireless USB dongle, so you don't have to worry about cluttering your space with additional wires. We have mixed feelings about the mouse included in this bundle, but it's a good value if you're interested in an all-in-one set.

Crucial MX500 SSD (1 TB)

Deal price: $85; street price: $100

Upgrading your older computer from a more traditional hard drive to a SATA SSD is a great way to improve its speed and performance. If you're looking for a solid-state drive replacement that will go easy on both your older computer and your wallet, we recommend the Crucial MX500 SSD (1 TB). Down to $85, this is just a few bucks shy of the lowest price we've seen for this size, making it a nice opportunity to snag our SSD pick for older computers.

Samsung 980 Pro SSD (1 TB NVMe)

Deal price: $170; street price: $195
.
We don’t recommend faster, more-expensive PCI Express 4.0 SSDs for most people buying an SSD for their PC, but if you’re adding an SSD to Sony’s PlayStation 5, these are the only kinds of drives that meet Sony’s performance requirements. We haven’t tested it with a PS5 specifically, but the 1 TB version of the Samsung 980 Pro is the drive we’d recommend, because it runs faster and cooler than similarly priced drives. Sony has also stated that whatever drive you use should have a heatsink, this should ensure that the SSD is working at its peak performance and extend its lifetime without overheating the drive or your PS5.

Samsung T7 Touch Portable SSD (500 GB)

Deal price: $90; street price: $105
.
A portable solid state drive, or SSD is a quick and reliable way to move large files between computers. Samsung's follow-up to the T5—our previous top portable SSD pick— the T7 Touch is both slimmer and quite a bit faster on sequential reads and writes. In addition, the T7 Touch comes with an added fingerprint reader for extra data security. Another solid discount, it's back down to $90 in black and silver.

Kitchen gear deals
Even though many may not think of kitchen gear when it comes to Best Buy, the brand still has deals that are worth checking out. From Instant Pot to Cuisinart, you don’t want to miss these limited-time bargains.

Ozeri Pronto Digital Multifunction Kitchen and Food Scale (Teal)

Deal price: $9; street price: $12
.
Even a simple kitchen scale will upgrade your baking. Similar to our top pick in look and feel, the Ozeri Pronto was slightly more accurate during testing, particularly with heavier weights. However, the scale automatically shut off after two minutes and was slower to read smaller items compared to its competition. Still, if you're looking for an affordable and attractive scale for your kitchen, our compact budget pick offers a great balance of features. Although we've seen this price for the red and teal colorways in the past, this remains a great deal on an affordable kitchen scale.

Cuisinart Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker (ICE-21)

Deal price: $60; street price: $70
.
The ICE-21 made some of the smoothest and most delicious ice cream in our tests. With just one switch, the machine is a breeze to use, and because it’s lighter and smaller than compressor machines, it's also easier to move and store. Note: you’ll need to plan your churning around pre-freezing the bowl insert overnight, though, which will take up freezer space. This deal is only a few bucks shy of the best price we've seen for this machine in new condition.

Bonavita BV1901TS Connoisseur Coffee Maker

Deal price: $102with delayed shipping; street price: $110
.
This is a great deal on our bare-bones design pick from our guide to the best drip coffee maker. It made coffee that was just as good or better than many of the competitors during our testing, and this deal drops it down to about half the price of our top pick. So if you're mostly just concerned about the taste of your coffee and don't care about convenience features like programmable start time, this is a great time to pick up this coffee maker; note slightly delayed shipping.

Bodum Chambord French Press (34oz)

Deal price: $30; street price: $36
.
A French press is an easy coffee brewing option that produces a nice cup of coffee without the fuss of a more complicated setup. Simple but elegant, the Bodum Chambord is a classically designed option that makes a balanced cup of mostly grit-free coffee. This isn't the best deal we've seen for our runner-up pick, but discounts are rare and fleeting, so we still think this is a decent chance to pick up this retro 50's-style press.

Annovero Dessert Bowls

Deal price: $26; street price: $28
.
Seeking a gift to thank a hard-working teacher in your life? These colorful dessert bowls are perfect for housing various tchotchkes and materials in the classroom or delicious treats from home. This deal is the first discount we've posted for this set. It includes six brightly patterned bowls that are as thoughtful and attractive as they are useful.

GIR Silicone Spatula (Red)

Deal price: $9 with clipped on-page coupon; street price: $13
.
The GIR Silicone Spatula is our pick for the silicone spatula for preparing batters, doughs, or cooking over high heat. In our guide, we praise this flipper for being small enough to fit in a peanut butter jar, strong enough to press down dough, and flexible enough to clean the edges of a batter bowl. Clip the on-page coupon to get this model for $9 in red, a great price.

OXO Good Grips 3-Qt Glass Baking Dish with Lid

Deal price: $16; street price: $20
.
Great for everyday meals, our budget pick for the best 13-by-9 casserole dish is inexpensive and made of clear borosilicate glass that bakes just as evenly as our more expensive picks. We also appreciate its large, easy-to-grip handles and its included lid that makes storing leftovers a breeze. Right now, you can snag this OXO baking dish for a price just shy of the lowest price we've seen.

OXO Good Grips Glass 9″ Pie Plate with Lid

Deal price: $11; street price: $14
.
Simple and sturdy, this pie plate is made of 2-inch borosilicate glass that holds more filling than the competition and can also withstand quick transitions between cold and hot temperatures. Its handy lid also makes it easier to store and transport without spills, and the clear glass bottom allows you to keep an eye out for that perfect, golden crust. With this pie plate now down to $11, now is a great time to ensure your Thanksgiving dessert is all set with a functional pie plate we love.

KitchenAid K150 Blender

Deal price: $75; street price: $100
.
A blender is a versatile kitchen tool that can create everything from fruit smoothies to veggie soups and spicy salsas. When testing our budget pick, the KitchenAid K150 Blender, we found that this three-speed blender could handle three batches of smoothies in a row and two back-to-back pitchers of piña coladas with ease. Even though this model only has a 48-ounce pitcher, it's good for occasional usage or smaller households.

KitchenAid Metal Food Grinder Attachment

Deal price: $70; street price: $100
.
Unlock the full potential of your meals with the addition of the KitchenAid metal food grinder attachment. If you already own our top stand mixer pick, we recommend this easy-to-store grinder attachment that will allow you to flex your creativity and assume more control over the ingredients you put into your culinary endeavors. Included with the attachment are a food pusher, a food tray, two grinding plates, plus a few extra accessories that will let you handle anything from raw meats and vegetables, to bread and hard cheeses.

Instant Pot Pro 6-Quart Electric Pressure Cooker

Deal price: $80; street price: $130
.
With stay-cool handles and a bright LCD screen, it's no surprise the Instant Pot Pro is our newly-crowned upgrade pick. This electric pressure cooker offers a user-friendly control panel and is chock full of functions—including faster pre-heating, a diffused quiet steam release, a baking function, and the ability to save your own custom cooking programs—all packed into a sleek black stainless steel frame. This is only the second deal we've seen on a 6-quart version of the Pro, making it a great time to save both time and money considering all the holiday cooking in your (very near) future.

Cosori Pro Air Fryer

Deal price: $85; street price: $100
.
Update: Also available from Walmart. Grab the Cosori Pro Air Fryer if you want a pod-shaped air fryer that costs less than our recommended Philips model. In our tests, it didn’t cook as evenly as the Philips, but we found its results perfectly acceptable considering its lower price. The Cosori has lots of preprogrammed settings, but some aren't that accurate (which is true of many models), so you may have to fiddle with it more to find the optimal settings for what you’re cooking. It also comes with a recipe booklet, which is nice if you’re looking for some guidance when cooking with convection technology. Like the Philips, the Cosori has a well-designed exterior and won’t be an eyesore if you plan to store it on your counter. Typically selling for about $100, it's nicely discounted to $85 in the black finish.

OXO Good Grips Silicone Flexible Turner

Deal price: $11; street price: $13
.
For those who need a silicone-coated spatula to use with nonstick pans, we recommend the OXO Good Grips Silicone Flexible Turner for flipping large pancakes. We generally preferred our other silicone-coated spatula more, but the OXO was a close second. The OXO’s blade is thinner and bigger than the GIR’s, but the edge isn’t as tapered, so it required a little more effort to wiggle under fish, fried eggs, and cookies. Although this isn't a significant discount, this turner rarely goes on sale.

Homwe Extra Long Professional Silicone Oven Mitt

Deal price: $10; street price: $15
.
Matching the lowest price we've seen at $10 for the light blue color, this deal is a rare markdown for the Homwe Extra Long Professional Silicone Oven Mitts. Our top oven mitt pick offered the best combination of heat protection and maneuverability of all the options we tested, especially when reaching into a hot oven or holding a large pan. Overall, this is a great chance to save on a pair of durable, washable, and water-resistant oven mitts. All the available colors are on sale however light blue is offering the lowest price.

Fiskars 8 Inch The Original Orange-Handled Scissors

Deal price: $7; street price: $9
.
Every house needs at least a basic pair of scissors for simple tasks. If you want a basic pair and budget is your top priority, we recommend Fiskars 8 Inch The Original Orange-Handled Scissors. These classic scissors aren't as sharp or durable as our other picks, but they perform common tasks just as well. This deal is only the second notable discount we've seen for our budget pick and it's a new low price.

Tovolo Penguin Ice Pop Molds

Deal price: $13; street price: $16
.
Once you pop(sicle) the fun don't stop(sicle) with the Tovolo Penguin Ice Pop Molds, which are back down to $13 from a street price of about $16.

Available for $70, this is the lowest price we've seen on these Alexa-compatible earbuds, so now is a good time to invest if you want to add to your collection of Amazon devices.
