Read our full review of the Echo Pop.

The Echo Pop smart speaker is now available for just $17.99, a $22 discount from its regular $39.99 price tag. This is the lowest price we’ve seen on the Echo Pop, making an already budget-friendly smart speaker a true steal.

The Echo Pop is small but still features the same Alexa voice assistant as Amazon's more premium Echo devices. It’s also available in charcoal, glacier white, lavender bloom, and midnight teal colorways to match your style. If you'd rather not use the voice controls, you can stream your favorite podcasts and music via Bluetooth.

If you haven’t jumped on the robot vacuum bandwagon yet, you can get the Roborock Q5 Pro+ vacuum and mop combo for $329.99, down from $699.99. This is a record-low price for this model — the last time we saw it anywhere near this cheap was back in May, and even then, it was $480.

The Roborock Q5 Pro+ is a vacuum and a mop in one. It has LiDAR navigation, 5,500Pa of suction power, and a 240-minute runtime. It also comes with a self-empty dock, so you won’t have to worry about emptying it every day.

The Roborock app lets you choose different suction modes, set up regular cleaning schedules, and even create no-go zones.

This handy tool has a removable, eight-inch blending arm with a four-point stainless steel blade for blending ingredients directly in the pot, bowl, or container. You can make smoothies, soups, dips, hummus, and more.

It also comes with a three-cup BPA-free jar with a lid to blend and store.

The holidays usually mean more travel, and this two-piece set by Wrangler is only $39.62. That’s a pretty good deal for a 20-inch carry-on and a 15-inch boarding tote.

The carry-on has a hard shell, spinner wheels, and a nifty three-in-one cup holder, USB port, and phone holder built into the back. The boarding tote is large enough to fit a laptop and other small items you want to keep close.
