TODAY’S BEST TECH DEALS

This RAVPower Filehub is a battery pack, an external storage device, and a portable WiFi router all rolled into one. You could say that it’s the perfect travel companion. Here’s what Whitson Gordon had to say about it on The Inventory:

You can see how things get a little complex here. The FileHub’s best use cases, in my opinion, require a little technical know-how on things like DLNA and SMB, so while it isn’t for everyone, it is useful, and has a pretty dedicated fanbase. I do wish the FileHub were a bit simpler to use, though—there’s no option to just connect to the computer over USB, for example, which seems like a big oversight. And seeing as this is not RAV’s first crack at the product line, you’d think they’d have a better handle on it by now.

But for all its little flaws and quirks, it’s still a unique product that could fit well into a lot of different workflows, for a pretty affordable price.

It’s normally priced at $56, but if you use our exclusive code KJFILEHU, you can pick up this super versatile hub for just $37. That’s the lowest price we’ve ever seen. This deal won’t last forever, so get yours before it disappears.


Just as you have to protect yourself from viral infections, you’ll also need to protect your devices. If you aren’t already squared away with one, an antivirus app is crucial when you’re working from home, and probably more so if you’re gaming—you’ve never felt the full wrath of a salty sore loser until you’ve provoked a network attack. Webroot will do the trick on up to three devices for up to two years, the subscription for which Amazon is selling for $50 in today’s Gold Box. It’s compatible with Mac, PC, iOS, Android, and even Chrome OS. The eight folks still using Linux need not apply.

For anyone looking to upgrade their phone at a time when we’re more connected than ever by social media and apps, Woot has an entire lineup of iPhone 11 models, refurbished, at a discounted rate. You can get the base model iPhone 11 starting at $600, the iPhone 11 Pro for $900, or the larger iPhone 11 Pro Max for $990.

As someone who owns the latter, I’ll say the Pro Max is well worth the premium spend. My daily driver, this plenty of room for music, apps, and games and is much faster than the iPhone X I owned before it. The camera on both the Pro and Pro Max is also stunning.

In fact, not only did its ultra-wide camera and Night Mode help me capture the image below, the refined Portrait Mode was used to take the profile headshot next to my byline, not to mention countless glamor photos of my car. Act fast because this deal ends tomorrow.

50% off Ultimate VPN Plan | ibVPN | Promo code STAYHOME2020
50% off Ultimate VPN Plan | ibVPN | Promo code STAYHOME2020

Now that every last one of us is Extremely Online, it’s time to start thinking like an internet veteran, and according to our own work from home starter kit, one of the best places to start is with a VPN. Among them, ibVPN is one of the most universally acclaimed clients, and its Ultimate VPN plan is 50% off right now using the promo code STAYHOME2020.

Priced at $11 a month or $58 per year at its usual rate, this limited-time discount brings its cost down to just over $5 a month or $29 each year. According to the site, it includes the following features:

  • High-Speed Connections
  • P2P/Torrents Allowed
  • 5 Simultaneous Connections
  • Proxy Servers In All Locations
  • Socks5 Proxies
  • TOR over VPN
  • Double VPN
  • Unlimited Bandwith
  • NAT Firewall
  • OpenVPN, L2TP, PPTP, SSTP,
    SoftEther, IPsec
  • Stealth VPN
  • High Priority Support

Versus other plans on the service, this one seems to be the most complete. The stealth VPN, TOR over VPN, and Double VPN functionalities are exclusive to this plan while even Sock5 proxies are limited to this and the TorrentVPN plan. So if you’re looking to save on a reputable VPN, this might be your safest bet.

A gaming monitor this isn’t, but Woot has refurbished 32" HP monitors for $150, which is loads cheaper than you’ll find it anywhere else—used or otherwise. It sports a 1080p IPS LED-backlit panel with 6-million-to-1 contrast ratio.

Its 5ms response time and 60Hz refresh rate aren’t ideal for gaming, but it’s certainly usable for anyone without esports aspirations. (Note: Your only display connection options are HDMI and VGA, which may affect compatibility with features like FreeSync.) And while a 32" monitor is likely much more than many work-from-home setups need, it’s hard to pass on the value.


RAVPower 10W Fast Wireless Charger | $17 | Amazon | Clip coupon on-site

Today, you can get RAVPower’s 10W fast wireless charger for $10 cheaper than usual by clipping an Amazon coupon, bringing your total down to $16 before taxes and shipping. It’s compatible with almost any device that uses Qi wireless charging, including your iPhones, Samsung Galaxies, smartwatches, AirPods, and more. RAVPower claims its charger juices up 30 to 80 minutes faster than typical wireless pads, which sounds about right for a 10W charger, but remember this is highly dependent on the device you’re using.

As an added bonus, the charger receives power from a Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 adapter capable of 18W with an accompanying micro-USB cable. You’re kind of getting two products in one here because you can use the adapter directly with any compatible device to get a much faster charge than the wireless setup, perfect for a last-minute top-up.

RAVPower PD 3.0 Power Bank | $30 | Amazon | Promo code KINJA0407D

Since most of us are stuck inside for the time being, we’ve all got chargers handy to give our phones plenty of juice. Still, maybe you’re a little low on outlets since everyone’s working from home, or you just want to give your headphones a little boost before your morning stroll. RAVPower’s known for their excellent chargers, and this 20000mAh portable charger is available right now for $30 using the code KINJA0407D.

TODAY’S BEST HOME DEALS

Looking to upgrade your housewares? There’s no better time like the present, especially considering Hamilton Beach has discounted its TrueAir HEPA air purifier by 15% using the promo code TrueAir15 at checkout and is offering 20% off select hand mixers (6 speed with and without Quickburst) using MIX20 as well as 20% off Sure Cut extra-tall and walk and cut can openers with CAN20, and 25% off stand mixers like this one and this one.

TaoTronics 5.5L Humidifier | $76 | Amazon
TaoTronics 5.5L Humidifier | $76 | Amazon

If you’re spending a lot of time in a dry house, it’s time to fix that. Right now, TaoTronics has its cool and warm mist humidifier down to $70 when you use code KINJAITY, the lowest drop from its $100 MSRP that we’ve seen to date.

The humidifier features a simple LCD display showing you humidity levels, and thanks to built-in sensors, it automatically adjusts the settings to keep the air around you nice and moist. It also has automatic shutoff timers and a memory function to keep you from having to tend to it 24/7 like a newborn baby.


It’s easy to gain weight when you’re always at home, so it’s worth finding little life hacks to counteract our loss of daily activity. If you’re one of those cookers who use the eyeball test to prepare food and likes to drizzle a little more oil or sprinkle a bit more salt than usual, measuring cups can help you reel it in. Le Creuset’s stainless steel sets are 20% off at Amazon, including a set of five spoons ranging from 1/8-teaspoon to a tablespoon for $16, plus $36 for a four-piece set of cups ranging from a quarter cup all the way to a full one. The metal is heavy, durable, and dishwasher safe, and your kitchen tools will present a lot better than plastic ever could..


Forget beer pong. A good game of caffeine pong in the morning is where it’s at, and we don’t even need the table or balls. Just throw a couple of glasses under the nozzle of this Mr. Coffee espresso shot maker and knock them back liberally. This dual shot system is down to $77 on Amazon.

It lets you pour two cups at once, each feeding from the same nozzle that also has a milk frother to get that ever-so-important top layer looking nice and creamy. It features a removable water tank, heating for both the water and milk, and an electric pump capable of 15 bars of pressure, which is the sweet spot to pull just as much flavor out of your beans as possible.


Be honest: you don’t really want another appliance on your kitchen counters, do you? That’s why we love all-in-one wonders like instant pots and air fryers. Unfortunately, most toaster ovens don’t offer many options aside from setting temperature and time, but they remain invaluable for heating up anything that doesn’t require a full-sized oven. We’ll explain why in a bit, but first, check out these deals for a couple of Breville units: you can get a normal-sized 1800W convection oven for $215, and if that’s too much, there’s a compact model on sale for $151.

Now, for that explanation: you’ve never had good leftover pizza if you warm it in a microwave. The crust gets crispy and the cheese melts a whole lot better. You could simply do it in a full oven, but those take two years to heat up, so screw that. Toaster oven, baby. (Oh, and you can heat a bunch of other reasonably-sized things in there, too, like a whole 12" pizza. Mmmmmmmm.... pizza....)


Philips Avent Glass Baby Bottles (5ct) | $42 | Amazon

With everything that’s going on right now, you can never be too safe with a newborn baby. It’s important to get the bottle right considering it’s the delivery vehicle of choice for milk and water. If cheap plastic bottles worry you or you’ve grown tired of the wear and tear they quickly amass, try these Philips Avent glass baby bottles, which are down to $42 at Amazon.

You’ll get two 9oz bottles, three 4oz ones, two different styles of nipples to go along with them, and a nipple cap that doubles as a pacifier. Designed for babies up to 3 months old, the glass and silicone are medical-grade, so as long as you do your part to keep them clean, you won’t have to worry about any harmful byproducts entering your baby’s digestive system.

Ring Video Doorbell + Amazon Echo Show 5 | $260 | Amazon

If you’re taking shelter from any and everybody right now, yelling “who is it?!” or peeking out the blinds is the biggest way to tip people off that you’re home. And even if you’re down for visitors, it’s nice to see who’s knocking before you approach the door. Grab the Ring Video Doorbell Pro and an Amazon Echo Show 5 combo wombo, and you’ll be able to do just that. The duo can be yours for $260 right now.

You’ll get one motion detection doorbell that will alert you whenever someone approaches, and you can review the live 1080p feed from either the Echo Show 5, your smartphone, or other compatible devices. You can even speak to them with a 2-way microphone if you want, which you should certainly take advantage of if you’re avoiding human contact.

Yes, quarantine is still a thing, but if you’re lucky enough to have a backyard, it’s always a good idea to keep it lit, especially at night. Not to mention it IS starting to get warm, so what’s better than to have a night time BBQ grill going with your family to pass the time? Luckily I’ve got a cute deal for you — for a low $16 with the promo code “NEAWXI7P”, you can grab a two-pack of Govee LED outdoor lightbulbs. They are light sensitive and ONLY turn on when it’s at night to save you a costly energy bill. I would hop on this deal before it’s gone!

E250 Electric Scooter (Cosmic Blue) | $630 | Unagi | Promo code GIZMODO25OFF

Itching to move at breakneck (15.5 MPH) speeds around the cul de sac until sundown? You’re not alone. Unagi is selling its acclaimed Cosmic Blue E500 and E250 model electric scooters for 25% off by entering our exclusive promo code GIZMODO25OFF at checkout. That generous discount brings the total cost of the dual motor E500 down $1,485 and the single motor E250 to a modest $630.

Especially with the warmer weather approaching, an Unagi scooter could add a fun solo activity into your daily rotation. As long as you’re six feet apart from the next rider, it’s a safe adult thing to do. Here’s what our friend Andrew Liszewski had to say in his review over at Gizmodo:

“... even for someone like myself living in suburbia and working from home, in a little over a week’s time the Unagi has managed to work its way into my daily routine. It’s made the boring walk to the community mailbox something I look forward to every evening, and it’s greatly expanded my range of lunch options. Now if only I could put snow tires on it.”


Hamilton Beach 7-Quart Slow Cooker | $39 | Amazon

If you haven’t already equipped your kitchen with a slow cooker, there’s absolutely no excuse today. Hamilton Beach’s 7-quart cooker is just $39 at Amazon, the lowest price you’ll find. You’ll have to accept some concessions for the price tag. Namely, your options are fairly limited, though this could be seen as a positive as it’s also incredibly easy to use. There’s also no lock-on lid, but Hamilton Beach thankfully includes lid straps to make transport easier. The 7-quart size is big enough to cook a seven-pound chicken, and believe you me, that’s a lot of damn chicken.

Whether you left your cooking gear at the apartment before leaving the city to quarantine with your parents or just want to test some new cooking skills to flex on your story, this KitchenAid immersion blender will give you tons of cool new things to try making, like the Fuzzy Tauntaun from Disneyland. Normally it’d cost you $50, but right now it’s on sale for $35, the lowest it’s been since Black Friday, so grab one while you can.

Right now, you can get up to 80% off ESCADA clothes, which often debut for hundreds and thousands of dollars. Their clothes are bright and simple, like this $130 (originally $675) gradient silk top that makes me crave a huge bowl of rainbow sherbert for some odd reason. You only have two days to get in on this, and stuff is already selling out, so wipe those tears and go!

Ok y’all. We know quarantine has been long, and it’s certainly has been lonely. Especially during the night. All of a sudden, all of your baes on the hotline are in their homes, not able to visit (for the greater good!), but that just means you have an even larger itch to scratch. Luckily, Bellesa has come through with the best fucking deal ever — they’re just...giving away a selection of vibrators FOR FREE. YES, you heard me. Free. They’re partnering with Womanizer to get everyone off (safely) throughout the COVID-19 crisis. So, I would try my luck and get an amazing vibe to take you to your peak without ever leaving your home. Orgasms during social distancing are what you make it (literally). Enter the give away and get off (over and over again)! And while you’re there, definitely check out the not-free collection, it’s dope, too!

On second thought, maybe it’s a good idea to start dedicating your life to fitness right now. After all, this Captain America compression shirt is $14 on Amazon and comes in sizes small through XXL.

And although Forever 21 is marketed heavily toward women—there are tops, dresses, and rompers, oh my—there’s a lot here for the fellas, too, like these knee-torn skinny jeans that I just can’t ever picture myself wearing.

If you’re one of those essential workers who don’t have the privilege of working at home, you’re likely doing something that requires standing all day, and you don’t want your feet screaming before lunchtime. Crocs have some of the most comfortable shoes and slip-ons you’ll find, and for the next two days, you can buy a pair and get a second one 50% off. This is a sitewide sale (with a few exceptions) and goes for men’s, women’s, and children’s styles.

Crocs will also throw in a free Jibbit charm when you buy four. These things slot into any of the various holes on your shoe for added custom personality. Granted, paying $4 for a glorified sticker seems ill-advised, but hey, it’s your money!

Amazon is giving away three months of access to its increasingly impressive music service, after which you’ll be asked to pay $8 monthly to continue. That’s cheaper than most others, though, and you may like what you find after signup.

Amazon has one of the most extensive catalogs with over 60 million tracks, and the mobile app supports Alexa and all the devices she loves to dwell in, so you don’t have to move an inch in bed to start that morning routine playlist.

While things are mostly not great right now, there’s plenty of great new music that’s come out recently, and there’s plenty of time to dive in. The Weeknd and Dua Lipa both just dropped excellent new retro-inspired albums, Jay Electronica’s much-awaited album finally came out last year after years of hype, and Thundercat just graced us with another record of groovy tunes. Whatever floats your boat, you can probably grab it on Tidal, and right now you can get a free trial for 30 days to give it a spin.

WINGED. UNICORN. What’s more metal than that? Oh, I don’t know, maybe a Rainbow Six Siege skin that transforms Mozzie the operator into A PIZZA SLICE.

All that and more when you sign up for Prime which also includes, mind you, free movies like the excellent The Last Black Man In San Francisco, Mid90s, and The Florida Project, among other modern day classics.

With all this extra time we have these days, it’s important to find something productive to fill it with.

It’s a little daunting, especially for beginners, but PreSonus has plenty of excellent tutorials to get you up to speed.

TODAY’S BEST GAMING DEALS

GMG Spring Sale | Green Man Gaming

Itching for the next big game? It may have already come out, albeit just recently. Green Man Gaming’s annual spring sale, which lasts through April 23, features a wide array of new releases both triple-A and indie. Resident Evil 3, for instance, hit the virtual shelf last week and is already down to $46. Need a co-op shooter to pass the time with a friend or significant other? Get Borderlands 3 Super Deluxe Edition for a mere $44.

Other highlights include Monster Hunter World: Iceborne for $26, Just Cause 3: XXL Edition for $4, and one of my personal favorites, Assassin’s Creed Creed: Odyssey (Gold Edition) for $28. A good chunk of these games are jam-packed with DLC—or, in the case of MHW: Iceborne, ARE DLC—yielding countless hours of playtime. Here are some of the highlights. For the whole gamut of offerings, peruse this here landing page.

Gearing up for Friday night fight club? You’ll want to come equipped with the latest and greatest fightpads including the PowerA Fusion, now discounted 20% using our exclusive promo code 20POWERA20.

This fightpad has swappable magnetic faceplates, a six-button arcade layout with Alps action buttons, and customization toggles for the D-pad and shoulder buttons. Better still, it’s available for PS4, Xbox One, and, yes, Switch. Never lose sight of winning again. Maybe if I’d used one of these instead of a Miller Lite can, I would’ve beaten Eric Andre at Street Fighter 5 last year.


HORI Fighting Commander for Xbox One | $30 | Amazon

If an arcade fighting stick is too rich for your casual blood, give the HORI Fighting Commander a try, the Xbox One version of which is down to its lowest price ever ($30) on Amazon. As a bonus, it also works with Xbox 360 and PC.

This isn’t a Sega Genesis controller, by the way, although I know it looks eerily similar. As you’ll notice, there are no analog sticks, which means you’ll have problems playing most games on Xbox One, but with a superior directional pad that can also emulate the left analog stick and two extra face buttons for combos, it’s perfect for 2D fighters.

My only knock is that it’s a wired controller, but that’s also a plus if you’re one of few who can perceive the extremely slight lag you get with wireless.


Grand Theft Auto 5 (PC/Steam) | $15 | Humble Bundle

If The Sims, Second Life, et al. haven’t made it obvious that people would much rather live out exciting virtual lives than toil away in our boring reality, I’m here to inform you of the trend. Now that none of us are getting out of the house anytime soon (take that extroverts!) perhaps it’s time to try your hand at roleplaying, which you can do with a copy of Grand Theft Auto 5 for PC (Steam), which is just $15 at Humble Bundle.

Once you buy it, look up FiveM, and prepare to literally live a changed life. You can run jobs as a cop, an investigator, a paramedic, a mechanic, or just that homeless guy on the street who can’t get enough of the bubbly.

Or, you could just play through the campaign and hop online for PVP like everyone else.

Missed out on the last big Game Pass Ultimate deal? Don’t fret. Amazon is once again offering to add free Xbox Game Pass Ultimate time to your account. You pay the usual $45 for three months, and Amazon will throw in another three months on top of that. You’re limited to one code per account and mailing address, too, so no hoarding—that’s what tissue is for.

Game Pass Ultimate is an insanely good deal. Not only do you get Xbox Live Gold access—which entitles you to multiplayer and free games each month—but you’ll also get instant access to the hundreds of games currently on offer via GamePass, including some heavy-hitting triple-A first-party titles on launch day like Gears of War 5.

P.S.: Microsoft is also running a pretty good deal of its own, giving you your first month of Game Pass Ultimate for just $1, after which your monthly bill jumps to the usual $15. This offer is only good for new subscribers.

Nearing the end of your PlayStation Plus subscription? It would normally cost you $60, but thanks to CDKeys, you can add a whole year to your account for just $36. PlayStation Plus is required for online play and cloud saves, but there are other premium benefits like free games, exclusive discounts, and Share Play. It doesn’t look like these shut-ins will go away quickly and quietly, so if you’re planning on filling your newfound time with a spot of gaming, PS+ is an absolute necessity.

For those feeling cooped up and isolated right now, take solace in the fact that you’re not alone. There’s a whole world of Sims people right now just waiting to be created and have their actions dictated by you. Lucky for you, The Sims 4 and its multitude of expansions and Game Packs are up to 88% off right now on Amazon.

While the base game is down to a mere $5, the expansions which normally sell for $40 a pop, are now around $20 each. Game Packs, which are smaller expansions featuring cosmetic upgrades, new settings, and bite-size storylines, are roughly $15 each. Whatever genre you’re in the mood for, The Sims 4 will likely scratch that itch, and for a pretty penny less right now too.

PowerA’s Switch controllers have proven an excellent value for anyone taken aback by Nintendo’s sudden obsession with overpricing its accessories. Amazon happens to have an exclusive Satin Blue model with Princess Zelda front and center, and it rarely goes on sale. That changes today, however, as Amazon has chopped off a sizable $15 chunk, your final total being $35.

Sadly, like most third-party Switch controllers, you’ll be missing out on rumble, amiibo, and IR support, but when they’re this cheap, do you really care?

I don’t care how old you get, there’s no better way to usher in bedtime than being tucked in, and because most of us are likely way too old for that, these weighted blankets work wonderfully. Right now, you can take anywhere from $15 to $25 (depending on size) off YnM’s 100% cotton blankets when clipping an Amazon coupon.

They’re filled with glass beads, breathable fabric, and you can attach a duvet for added style, comfort, and protection.

Anker Soundcore Life Q10 | $30 | Amazon | Use the promo code LIFEQ10ANKER

If you’re looking for a terrific pair of budget Bluetooth headphones, the Anker Soundcore Life Q10 are just $30 right now. Usually selling for about $40, this is the best discounts we’ve seen on these particular cans, just use the promo code LIFEQ10ANKER at checkout.

Unlike most budget Bluetooth headphones, these Anker Soundcore Life Q10 have the Hi-res audio stamp of approval, which Anker says guarantees “exceptional audio quality, awarded only to audio devices capable of producing the most accurate representation of what the artist intended.”

If you’re still using the headphones that came with your phone, suffice to say, these will be a significant upgrade.

You can listen to up to 60 hours of music before you’ll need to recharge or switch to a wired connection. If you do find a way to drain the battery, a quick five minute charge will give you up to five hours of listening time.







It’s always a good idea to prepare for the worst, so if you don’t already have one, you should add a high-octane flashlight to your survival arsenal. Black + Decker’s 5W LED flashlight can join your other gear for just $17, the lowest price we’ve ever seen. It shines at 500 lumens, which is bright enough to poke in the dark, but probably not fit for a search party (which we hope you’ll never have to do). The flashlight features a rechargeable alkaline battery that lasts up to 10 hours.

I’m not a chip fan, but for some reason, Pringles do it for me. I can’t tell you why. Maybe it’s the texture or the taste, or the actual packaging it comes in...who knows?! What I DO know is that for a cheap $9, you can get a hold of a cute little Pringles variety pack of chips. With flavors like BBQ and sour cream and onion, you’ll be able to crunch, crunch, crunch until the cows come home. Grab a pack before they’re gone.

Get ready to step into some new garb. Even though we can’t legally flex in most public places (which is good!), you do need to put on real people clothes when you’re strolling around in the park or hiking an upstate trail. Luckily, Huckberry’s got your back, with a ton of categories discounted as part of its spring flash sale.

Here are some of the highlights:

Now who’s “not getting dressed in the morning?” Find your look and wear it, too.

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Well, legend says it’s Spongebob Squarepants, but I ain’t going down there myself to check. You probably aren’t, either. Since you already know the answer, you can stay comfy in bed, warm feet and all, with socks designed based on your favorite yellow piece of ocean pollution and friends. The latest promotion from Happy Socks features Spongebob-themed feet-huggers starting at $8 for kids and $16 for adults, plus gift bundles ranging from $32 to $96.

Almost all the socks feature Spongebob, and there are also some with compatriot starfish and dense best friend Patrick, the endlessly annoyed Squidward (who is the ultimate deceiver, by the way—he’s actually an octopus), and archnemesis of Mr. Krabs (and choice gumbo ingredient) Plankton. This promotion is limited and runs through April 20.

Whether you love hitting the slopes or trekking the mountains, a GoPro is perfect for capturing your exploits in the elements. Sure, you can’t go and do much of that stuff right now, but this lockdown is bound to end eventually (right?) and it’s hard to beat B&H Photo’s current price on the GoPro Fusion. It’s going for $200, which is $100 cheaper than Best Buy has it, and loads more down from the $600 MSRP.

The GoPro Fusion supports spherical 5.2K video recording at 30 frames per second, and if that isn’t smooth enough, there’s a still-impressive 3K mode with 60 frames per second available. You can use it on land, in the air, and under the sea thanks to its waterproof design. Other neat features include built-in GPS, voice control, and 360-degree audio capture.
