Mashable - Fri, 11/29/2024 - 04:35

SAVE $250: As of Nov. 29, the 2022 MacBook Air with M2 chip is on sale for $749 at Amazon, down from its original price of $999 for Black Friday. That’s a 25% discount on one of Apple’s most sought-after laptops.

Listen, where there are plenty of Apple Black Friday deals floating around this year, but what about the older Apple models that are even kinder on that Black Friday budget? The 2022 MacBook Air, powered by the epic M2 chip, is rocking a 25% discount down to $749 from $999. A MacBook Air with solid specs that will be seeing updates for the foreseeable future? That's a bargain.

The M2 chip is inspired by the M1 with its 8-core CPU, up to 10-core GPU, and dressed up with 16GB of unified memory. This beast will smash anything you throw at it, from streaming to editing photos, video, and music. Everyone uses cloud storage these days, but having a 256GB SSD for fast save and load times to keep your files locally is still lovely. It's also a great addition of entry point into the Apple ecosystem, syncing up with iPhone, AirPods, and more seamlessly.

If you're cool with a screen on the smaller side, 13.6 inches of Liquid Retina Display is waiting with its 500 nits brightness and support for over a billion colors. This means this deal is so good that it'll make you see literal rainbows. There's also a 1080p FaceTime HD front camera for solid video calls and conferences, which only adds to the value in this deal. What? Spatial Audio speakers too? MacBook Air is throwing sound around your head for programs and services supporting it.

Whether you need a holiday gift or a little "treat yourself" moment, you get Apple quality at a rare price. But don't dawdle — deals like this have a habit of disappearing faster than leftover pumpkin pie.

At $749, this Black Friday deal is a no-brainer. Considering the M2 model is two years old, there's so much on offer, but who cares when it does everything you need for far less than the latest model? Make a wise decision while enjoying that post-thanksgiving food coma.

SAVE $100: As of Nov. 29, the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) [GPS, 40mm] is available for $149 at Amazon, down from $249. That’s a 40% Black Friday discount on this fitness-savvy smartwatch.

Budget Apple products are the sweet spot for millions of users who want the benefits of the Apple and iOS ecosystem without the brand tax. If that's you, Amazon Black Friday has you covered with the 2nd Gen Apple Watch SE [GPS, 40mm]. They've beat down that $249 price tag to $149, bringing Apple heads $100 in savings. This is your entry point if you've been clock-watching and waiting for an affordable Apple Watch.

Apple Watch SE is the best WatchOS without the aforementioned brand tax (We're looking at your series 9). It tracks your workouts, monitors your heart rate, and keeps tabs on your sleep. To top this deal off, it's also swim-proof, which means it'll be good if you spill your morning coffee. It also rocks the latest WatchOS updates, coming with WatchOS 11, the box that can call emergency services automatically thanks to its crash detection feature. It's not that you'd want to be in a situation where you can use it, but knowing there's a safety net if the worst happens is nice.

This 40mm model also has e-sim functionality built-in, meaning you can call your phone carrier and add it to your monthly plan. Left your iPhone at home? That is no problem; the Apple Watch SE can function independently with a 5-inch signal. It also looks like the part that features the curved edges and sleek design the Apple Watch is known for. WatchOS fits in seamlessly with the Apple ecosystem, allowing you to find your iPhone, unlock your Mac, and so much more. Let's remember how handy it is to have Apply Ray on your wrist, too.

This is a perfect Black Friday bargain for a Christmas gift or a cheeky treat for yourself. Apple Watch SE is an Apple product at a non-Apple price, so snap this deal up before the price shoots back up.

The best Black Friday noise-cancelling headphones and earbuds deals

Mashable - Fri, 11/29/2024 - 04:03
Best noise-cancelling headphones and earbuds deals ahead of Black Friday Best headphones deal Sony WH-1000XM5 297 (Save $102.99) Get Deal Best earbuds deal Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbus $229 (Save $50) Get Deal

Black Friday is just around the corner, but major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart are already kicking off their programming. In other words: it's a pretty good time to pick up a pair of headphones on sale.

So far, we've seen the bulk of the deals at Amazon, with headphones and earbuds from Sony and Bose returning to record low prices. In addition to our top picks as of Nov. 20, the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones and Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds, we're also seeing markdowns on brands like Apple, Beats, Jabra, and Google.

With a few pairs already down at lows we saw during Prime Day, we're anticipating that the actual day of Black Friday (this year, it falls on Nov. 29) will bring new record lows. In the meantime, we'll keep you updated on the best noise-cancelling headphones deals live, from now through Black Friday.

Check out our full review of the Sony WH-1000XM5.

If you want headphones that have great noise cancelling and incredible (adjustable) sound, then the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones won't let you down. Out of the noise-cancelling headphones we've tested, these are our top pick for audiophiles. It can be a little annoying that the ear cups don't fold in, but with 30 hours of battery life, you'll probably find yourself wearing them more often than not. They've hit $298 a couple times this month, but it's just a dollar away from their low price of $297. With these headphones being a 2022 release, we're hoping to see them drop even lower on Black Friday, but if you want to pick up a pair early, this deal matches both their July and October Prime Day price.

For folks who want the best possible noise cancelling they can get in their earbuds, we like the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds. They do come with the price tag that reflects their top notch noise cancelling — but, on sale, they cost less than the full price of AirPods Pro. After testing out these earbuds, Mashable Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino was more impressed than she expected to be, writing, "Truthfully, I can't imagine a person that wouldn't appreciate these buds. The noise cancellation is the best I've ever experienced, and the music feels like it surrounds you thanks to spatial audio. Plus, the fit is like no other."

20+ of the best Bluetooth speaker deals this Black Friday

The Black Friday shopping season is here, and Bluetooth speakers are at some of their best prices of the year.

Though it may not be the best time of year to take a Bluetooth speaker poolside, it's always great to think ahead and save some money. Plus, having a quality speaker is never a bad idea if you're planning on hosting any holiday parties.

SEE ALSO: All the best early Black Friday deals at Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and Walmart

So far, we're seeing the most deals at Amazon, bringing deals on speakers from Ultimate Ears, JBL, Beats, and Sony. Thanks to the proximity to Black Friday, we're also seeing brands that don't typically go on sale, like Sonos, finally get some price cuts.

It's a pretty solid roundup (all of our favorite speakers are represented), but as Black Friday proper — Nov. 29 — draws nearer, we'll be updating this list with any new deals that crop up.

Best Bluetooth speaker deal ahead of Black Friday Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 $78.96 at Amazon
$99.99 Save $21.03 Get Deal Why we like it

The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 is the best speaker we've tested under $100: it doesn't take up much space, has 14 hours of battery life, gets as loud as a larger speaker without losing much clarity, and can be taken on the go to pretty much any situation thanks to its IP67 rating. While it drops to $79.99 throughout the year, this is still a fantastic deal for a speaker that we think is well worth it at full price, and at the time of writing, each of the four colorways is available on sale. (At $78.96, you can get it for ever-so-slightly cheaper, but this price is only available on the black colorway).

If you're in the market for a new Bluetooth speaker, one of the only reasons we'd say to pass on this one is if you already own the Wonderboom 3 (it's incredibly similar) and want to pair up with another Wonderboom speaker to use stereo mode (none of the UE speakers are backwards compatible for stereo mode).

Best high-end Bluetooth speaker deal Sonos Move 2 $359.00 at Amazon
$449.00 Save $90.00 Get Deal Why we like it

Check out our full review of the Sonos Move 2.

Sonos speakers are expensive, and they really only go on sale during Black Friday. Even during both Prime Days this year, we didn't see price cuts on Sonos products, and especially not our favorite pick for smart homes, the Sonos Move 2. This speaker is big enough that it might be a hassle to move it around regularly, but it's not so big that you'll dread moving it if you're hosting a backyard barbecue.

The trade-off is that you get a speaker with 24-hour battery life and sound quality that shines across all genres of music. Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder wrote in his review, "It's capable of producing one of those effects where you play a song you know well (in my case, 'Roxanne' by The Police), and you hear details you never knew were there, like the (accidental?) touching of the drumsticks at the end of the song's intro." Plus, it has compatibility with Alexa and Sonos Voice Control.

Best budget Bluetooth speaker deal JBL Go 4 $39.95 at Amazon
$49.95 Save $10.00 Get Deal Why we like it

The JBL Go 4 is tiny and inexpensive, but it packs a punch. This speaker sounds surprisingly clear, and can get louder than you think (though you do start to sacrifice some of that clarity at higher volumes). During our testing, we found it got anywhere from seven to up to nine-and-a-half hours of playtime, making it an excellent option for taking on the go to the beach (where it's IP67 water and dust-proof rating will keep it safe), or for taking up minimal space in your home while still providing plenty of sound. $39.95 is the lowest price we've ever seen it at, beating its Prime Day price by about $5.

It comes with three audio modes, standard, theater, or news, to elevate your home entertainment no matter what you're watching.

Grab the Bose smart soundbar during early Black Friday sales for just $399, saving $100. That knocks 20% off its original price of $499.

"Alexa, when do Black Friday deals start?" They've been happening!

This year, Black Friday falls on Nov. 29, 2024, and the early deals are here. Apple is unleashing deals across its products, and big ticket items like robot vacuums are dipping in price ahead of the big event. So if you're looking to make your home a little smarter, now is the time to shop Amazon's Echo devices.

Echos are some of the easiest (and most affordable) ways to upgrade your smart home, helping you do everything from play music to set daily lighting routines. Just one month ago, we were tracking deals during Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, and we saw the lowest price ever on Echo Devices. Way ahead of Black Friday, we're already seeing those deals swing back around.

Here are the best deals on Amazon Echo Devices to shop ahead of Black Friday.

Note: All newly added or updated deals have been marked with a ✨, while struck-through deals were either sold out or expired at the time of writing. Any deal marked with a 🔥has dropped to a record-low price.

The line-up of Amazon Echo devices is sprawling. You can find everything from a multitasking smart speaker to a touchscreen smart home hub. The absolute best deal on Echo devices right now is on the Amazon Echo Pop. This small but mighty device with a quality speaker and built-in assistant so you can play music just by calling out to Alexa.

Currently, it's down to $17.99 — its lowest price ever. That knocks 55% off the regular price for $22 in savings. While we expect this price to hang around through Black Friday weekend, you can rest assured you're getting it at a great deal when you buy now.

Basically all the best robot vacuums are at new record-low pricing for Black Friday

Mashable - Fri, 11/29/2024 - 03:57

UPDATE: Nov. 28, 2024, 2:30 p.m. EST This story has been updated with current pricing on robot vacuums on sale during all of the big retailers' Black Friday sales, including a new top pick for the best robot vacuum deal without self-emptying: a mopping, smart mapping Shark model under $150.

Yet another Black Friday is (somehow) here, with its arrival often bringing flashbacks to last year's frantic shopping — including the items that you didn't end up buying, and then wished you had all year. If a robot vacuum didn't make the cut last year, let Black Friday 2024 be the time to finally ditch your current clunky vacuum and treat yourself to a significantly shorter chore list.

Black Friday deals are making high-end vacs super accessible

The robot vacs getting attention deals-wise this Black Friday are packed with high-end features — ones you may have previously been fine to settle without just because, at full price, they're a really intimidating investment. I'm personally eyeing the number of options that bring home smart mapping and small obstacle avoidance (no more eaten phone chargers) and self-washing and drying mopping pads in the $500 to $700 range.

Considering the latter two features in that trio I just rattled off were once so newfangled that they were only available in the $1,000+ range, these sale prices are ones to hop on without hesitation. And FWIW, several robot vacuums are already beating their previous record-low pricing that we saw during October Prime Day — and unlike Prime Day, no membership is needed to access these deals.

SEE ALSO: I've tested over 20 robot vacuums and these are the best for every budget in 2024

Below, I'm tracking the robot vacuum deals live throughout Black Friday weekend and into Cyber Monday. Though most of the robot vacuum deals in this list are for sure at their Black Friday prices (as Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and Target are in official Black Friday mode as of Thanksgiving), it's not impossible for a few new robot vacs to go on sale as Cyber Week approaches — so if you can be patient, checking back later wouldn't be a bad idea.

Deals are organized into two sections: robot vacuums that don't mop and robot vacuum and mop combos, with self-emptying docks noted when applicable. Within each category, all robot vacuum deals are ordered by price from cheapest to most premium. (Need help deciding which robot vacuum to buy? I have some guidelines.)

Note: Any deal marked with a 🔥 has dropped to a record-low price at Amazon.

Best robot vacuum deal ahead of Black Friday Opens in a new window Credit: iRobot iRobot Roomba Combo i5+ $299.00 at Amazon
$549.99 Save $250.99 Get Deal Why we like it

This nearly 50% off discount on the Roomba Combo j5+ is stellar at first glance, but it looks like an even sweeter deal when compared to the current deal on the cheapest self-emptying Roomba, the Roomba Vac 2. For $249.99, that bare-bones Roomba doesn't mop and can't smart map your house. For $299 — just $50 more — the Roomba Combo i5+ can mop and can smart map to clean specific rooms in your home on command. If $300 is your budget cap for a new robot vacuum, spending that extra $50 is a no-brainer.

The only downside to choosing the Combo i5+ over the more advanced Combo j5+ that was on sale last week is that the i series Roombas don't have small obstacle avoidance technology, so they can't dodge things on the floor like charging cords or pet waste. However, if your home is already pretty tidy as it is, or you're down to deal with tidying up ahead of vacuuming, the Combo i5+ is a total steal at this price.

So many robot vacuums go on sale for Black Friday that decision fatigue is imminent — unless you're specifically set on a Roomba, that is.

Roombas do tend to run slightly more expensive than competitors with the same features, so November is a wise time to buy one — Black Friday has been known to trigger new record-breaking discounts on several Roomba models. In terms of where that happens, Amazon is the best place to find a Roomba on sale despite the flop of the acquisition of iRobot by Amazon (though iRobot's own website has good options, too). Because iRobot doesn't debut new models for the year at CES in January like many other big robot vacuum brands do, you can also be confident that the Roombas on sale during Black Friday won't be phased out in a month or two.

SEE ALSO: 4 best robot vacuums and mops to buy on Black Friday, tested

So yeah, there are quite a few Roombas on sale for Black Friday — mainly at Amazon's Black Friday sale, with a few other deals scattered at iRobot's website (and a few matched deals at Target and Best Buy). But while most of those deals look good in terms of the percentage off that you're getting, many of them just aren't worthwhile when you consider the features you're securing, especially when taking into the bigger list of robot vacuum deals from other brands this Black Friday.

For instance, the base-tier Roomba Vac Essential being on sale for $149 sounds great until you realize that this Roomba doesn't have smart mapping, which means it can't clean specific rooms on command. When robot vacuums that do have smart mapping like the Shark IQ Ultra or Eufy L50 are on sale for $148 and $159, respectively this Black Friday, that particular Roomba Vac deal is far less exciting.

SEE ALSO: I've tested over 20 robot vacuums — here are the top 5 to shop on Black Friday

This doesn't mean there aren't any Roomba deals that I think are worth it this Black Friday. The i series and j series Roombas under $500 that are currently live are stellar — multiple models are nearly 50% off, with both self-emptying and mopping being optional depending on your needs. (As you get into the more expensive j series Roombas, the deals start to become less appealing. Premium robot vacuums from other brands simply do more than something like the Roomba Combo j9+ for less money.) For a deeper dive into these features, check out my guide that unpacks the differences between the main Roombas.

This story will be updated any time a new noteworthy Roomba deal drops between now and the end of Cyber Week. While you can be pretty certain that the Roombas on sale now are at their Black Friday pricing, Amazon or iRobot could very well drop completely new Roomba deals over the next few days — I'll keep you posted. Note: Any deal marked with a 🔥 has dropped to a record-low price at Amazon.

This nearly 50% discount on the Roomba Combo j5+ already looks great on its face, but it's an even sweeter deal when compared to the current sale price on the cheapest self-emptying Roomba, the Roomba Vac 2.

If $300 is your budget cap for a new robot vacuum, spending that extra $50 is a no-brainer.

The only downside to choosing the Combo i5+ over the more advanced Combo j5+, which is also at an amazing sale price of $399 for Black Friday, is that the i series Roombas don't have the small obstacle avoidance technology that helps dodge things on the floor like charging cords or pet waste. However, if your home is already pretty tidy as it is, or you're down to deal with tidying up ahead of vacuuming, the Combo i5+ is a total steal at this price.

There are so many good self-emptying robot vacuum deals for Black Friday

Mashable - Fri, 11/29/2024 - 03:53

UPDATE: Nov. 28, 2024, 6:15 p.m. EST This story has been updated to reflect the latest Black Friday sale pricing on self-emptying robot vacs as of Thanksgiving night, including a new Shark robot vacuum deal under $250.

The majority of robot vacuums you'll see on sale this Black Friday will be self-emptying ones, and there's a reason that feature is more common than not nowadays. Having a robot vacuum typically means you'll be vacuuming more often, and that means a fuller dustbin faster — but thanks to the universalization of the self-emptying dock, you won't have a hard time outsourcing dustbin duty for more than $300 or $400.

SEE ALSO: Roomba models, explained: The guide to deciding which Roomba to buy on Black Friday

This wasn't the case even a few years ago, when automatic emptying was a feature reserved for the high-end robot vacs from a select few brands that were ahead of the game. Now, there are tons of options on both ends of the spectrum, including super affordable, compact options that barely take up more room than a non self-emptying option.

If your budget is a little more flexible, you can squeeze more out of your $500 to $1,000 during Black Friday and secure not only automatic emptying, but automatic water refilling and automatic mopping pad washing and drying. All of the big brands like iRobot, Shark, Roborock, and Eufy all have at least one robot vacuum and mop combo that deals with its own dust and dirty mopping pads all in the same dock, and nearly all of them have gotten a groundbreaking discount for Black Friday 2024.

Note: All newly added or updated deals have been marked with a ✨, while struck-through deals were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.

I think of the Roborock Qrevo S as the diet version of my favorite self-emptying robot vacuum right now, the Roborock Qrevo Master. And unless you're one of the few open to spending $1,000 or more on a robot vacuum, you can probably deal with the Qrevo S skipping the Qrevo Master's fluff features like a livestream pet camera or extending side mop.

And anyway, the most important aspect about the Qrevo S is that it has that coveted self-washing and drying mopping pad feature baked into its self-empty dock. I also have to give Roborock credit for arming this Qrevo with the same dual spinning mopping pads as the Qrevo Master, which I feel do a more detailed mopping job than a singular pad that lays flat across the bottom of the vacuum.

If it sweetens the deal at all, just know that I had already honed in on the Roborock Qrevo S as one of the best early Black Friday robot vacuum deals when it originally went on sale for $549.99 in early November. Now, it's almost $100 cheaper than that.

For those of us with an endless appetite for reading, it can be an expensive hobby regardless of if you're a fiend for hardcovers or dedicated to the e-reader life. Luckily, there's Libby and Kindle Unlimited, which can save you a pretty penny on all the latest arrivals. However, if you want to read exactly what you want and not wait around for your library holds to come through, it pays to splurge on an e-book.

Whether you need to escape your family or are headed on a holiday vacation, a fully stocked Kindle is a good Kindle. With Black Friday is inching closer and closer, the book deals are spectacular so you don't need to splurge either. Find top best-sellers — both fiction and non-fiction — for as low as $0.99. Here are the best Black Friday deals on Kindle books.

When is Black Friday?

With Thanksgiving finally here, Black Friday is tomorrow, on Friday, Nov. 29.

However, you don't need to wait 24 hours for deals. "Early" Black Friday deals have already started to roll out, giving a jumpstart to the shopping season. While in-store deals may kick-off on Nov. 29, online sales will run all month long.

Do you need a Kindle to read Kindle books?

Yes and no. Unlike a standard e-book that can be read on any device, Kindle books can only be read on Kindle devices or the Kindle app. The Kindle app gives you flexibility so you don't need to spend a hundred dollars on an e-reader. Although we do have to say, Kindles are totally worth it.

The Kindle app is available on iOS and Android devices so you can read Kindle books on your existing smartphone, tablet, or laptop.

But the best news this Black Friday is that Amazon has marked down nearly all of their new Kindles. You can find savings up to 23% on the brand's e-readers, including the top-tier Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, which is down to $154.99.

Good Nintendo Switch deals are pretty hard to come by. For some reason, Nintendo just generally doesn't like to list their consoles, games, or accessories at steep discounts, even during big sales events. But Black Friday changes people, and this year, the iconic gaming company is actually offering up some competitive, worthwhile deals from store to store.

In other words, it's a must-play, and now is the best time to buy a copy if you haven't experienced it yet — for Black Friday, Walmart has Tears of the Kingdom listed at just $30, down from $69. That's the best deal we've seen on this game yet, so don't hesitate to lock in your purchase.

So many retailers are offering Black Friday deals right now, but it’s hard to know what’s a good deal and what isn’t when marketers play fast and loose with the term "Black Friday" all month long. That’s why we’re here, though — to help you decipher the real bargains from the inflated list prices (something Amazon’s notorious for).

One of the best early Black Friday kitchen deals we’ve seen is the GreenPan Reserve Ceramic Nonstick 10-Piece Cookware Set (Cream). Yes, you can get it for $399.99 on the GreenPan site, but if you hop over to Kohl’s, you can get it for $399.99 with $60 in Kohl’s cash. That’s basically a $210 discount on a high-quality cookware set that normally retails around $549.99. (From Nov. 11 to Nov. 21, Kohl’s is giving a $10 Kohl’s cash coupon for every $50 spent across the store, which is why the discount math works out this way.)

This cookware set includes an eight-inch frying pan, an 11-inch frying pan, a two-quart saucepan with a lid, a three-quart saucepan with a lid, a three-and-one-half-quart saute pan with a lid, and a five-quart stockpot with a lid. Each piece is made with a diamond-infused ceramic nonstick coating free of PFAS and PFOAs (aka forever chemicals). They’re also oven-safe up to 600˚F (lids up to 425˚F).

The DJI Mini 4K is on sale for $239, down from $299 on the DJI website — that’s $60 off. It’s a great entry-level drone for beginners that won’t cost a fortune.

With a CMOS camera, this little drone can shoot 4K video or take photographer-level shots with its QuickShots and Panoramas settings. Its max flight time is 31 minutes, plenty of time to get the shots you want. Plus, it’s super light (under 249 grams), so you don’t have to register it with the FAA. (You can literally hold it in the palm of your hand.)

It also supports 38kph (Level 5) wind resistance and 4000m max takeoff altitude, so you can film or fly in almost any condition.

If you’re thinking about gifting your kids their first drone, getting one of those weird, off-brand ones from Amazon may be tempting. But the Holy Stone Drone is currently $39.99, down from $59.99 — a solid choice that will actually hold up.

Holy Stone is one of the best names in the drone industry, and with the Holy Stone HS420 Mini Drone, you get a lot of impressive features like “toss to launch” and “one-key start” for easy flying. This drone can also perform stunts and is outfitted with altitude hold and headless mode for beginner pilots.

It also has two batteries, so your kids can fly twice as long.

If you want a drone that’s easy to take anywhere, check out the Potensic ATOM SE. Right now, it's on sale for $239.99 (down from $339.99) on the Potensic website. That's a savings of $100.

This drone is super portable. It weighs less than 250 grams and folds up small enough to fit in your jacket pocket. It also comes with a handy carrying case to keep everything organized.

It has a 4K HD camera with electronic image stabilization (EIS) that helps you capture smooth, crisp aerial videos and 12MP photos. You can even shoot in RAW format to edit your photos like a pro. Two batteries provide a total of 62 minutes of flight time, so you won’t have to worry about running out of juice.

Other cool features include a return-to-home function, a “follow me” mode, and “points of interest,” where the drone autonomously tracks moving objects or focuses on specific areas of interest during flight.

Don't wait for Black Friday! Pre-Black Friday sales are already in full swing, and you can find deals on everything from home goods to home security systems.

Maybe it's because people are becoming more privacy-conscious these days, but everyone seems to be doubling down on surveillance systems for their homes and vehicles. If you haven’t seen that dash cam video of the staged car crash scam, you really should — it's definitely a wake-up call for the need to document everything.

These gadgets also make great gifts for the security-conscious folks in your life. A couple of years ago, I bought my parents a video doorbell, and they love checking to see if someone’s turning around in their drive and the animals scurrying through their yard whenever they’re out of town. (I named their local raccoon Little King Trashmouth, IYKYK.)

Now, Amazon has deals with top brands like Blink, Arlo, Google Nest, and TP-Link Tapo.

Here are a few to keep an eye on:
