Top Deals

If you're still listening to any of your TVs through their built-in speakers, this Yamaha soundbar is here to save the day. It's down to $175 as part of a Gold Box Deal, meaning the price is only valid today, or until sold out. That's $75 below Amazon's previous low, and a terrific deal. [Yamaha YAS-152BL Soundbar Speaker with Bluetooth, $175]

If you're curious about sous-vide cooking, the excellent Anova Precision Sous-Vide cooker is down to an all-time low price today. This is the Sweethome's pick for best budget sous vide circulator, and has fantastic user reviews to boot. [Anova Precision Sous-Vide Cooker, $154 with code SPRING25]

What the hell is Sous-Vide, you ask? Lifehacker's put together a great primer to explain the process and benefits, but basically it means sealing food in vacuum-packed plastic bags and immersing them in warm water over a fairly long period of time. It sounds a little sterile and sciency, but the upshot is consistent, juicy, and perfectly-cooked food every single time, with very little fuss.

If you need a good streaming box for any of your TVs, the excellent Roku 3 is down to $77 today on Amazon, which is within a few bucks of an all-time low.

Admittedly, Roku has a lot of competition from the likes of Apple, Google, and Amazon, but nobody can touch Roku's lineup of channels and apps, and there's something to be said for a streaming box that doesn't prioritize its own company's walled garden. Oh, and building a headphone jack into the remote was one of the great innovations of the 21st century. [Roku 3 Streaming Media Player, $77]

If you have an old hard drive or SSD lying around, this cheap enclosure can turn it into a handy external drive. We've featured a few deals on these recently, but this model includes UASP support, which promises better performance for SSDs. [Inateck 2.5 Inch USB 3.0 Hard Drive Enclosure with UASP for SSDs, $14 with code SMNZCLJB]

The Intocircuit Power Castle is an old Wirecutter pick for best external USB charger, and I can personally vouch for mine. [Intocircuit Power Castle Series 11,200mAh Portable Charger, $19 with code BETTER17]

A decent pair of computer speakers is a must for any home office, and this set from Logitech is only $25 today on Newegg. As a point of comparison, that's less than half of Amazon's price if you bought them new. [Refurb Logitech Z323 Speakers, $25 with code EMCAPAX23]

Update: Sold Out

At $100, Best Buy's Gamers Club Unlocked was a decent deal for hardcore gamers, but a tough sell for most. Today though, they're dropping the price to $30, which gets you 24 months of the following benefits, among others:

  • 20% off all new physical video game purchases
  • 10% off all preowned video game purchases
  • 10% bonus trade-in credit on video games

Even if you only used your membership to save $12 on three $60 video games over the course of two years, it will have already paid for itself, so this is pretty much a no-brainer. [ Gamers Club Unlocked, $30]

3M Command Hooks are one of the best inventions of the century (along with Roku's headphone jack remote), and three of the premium brushed nickel models are only $7 today. [Command Medium Designer Hooks, Brushed Nickel, $7]

Quirky is holding a Daylight Saving's Time sale with terrific prices on a variety of clever tchotchkes. Everyone's seen the Quirky Cordies (in fact, we recommend them in our office gear guide), and they're only $3 each today, but there are dozens of other clever products to check out as well. [Quirky]

The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury bills itself as the world's fastest gaming mouse. Hopefully your wallet can keep up, because it's down to $43 today. [Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury FPS Gaming Mouse, $43]

You won't have to trade as many emeralds as usual to get your hands on these LEGO Minecraft sets.

The Logitech G710+ was one of your top 5 nominations for Best Gaming Keyboard, and today it's for just $100. The price on this model fluctuates pretty frequently, but $100 is certainly on the low end.

That price gets you six programmable G-keys, dual-zone backlighting, and quiet mechanical keys. We don't expect this to last long. [Logitech G710+ Gaming Keyboard, $100]

I admit, purchasing a refurbished drone is a slightly scary idea, but this deal may just be worth it. $699 today gets you a refurbished DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ from B&H, complete with 3-axis gimbal and built-in camera. That's roughly half the typical price of buying a new one.

Gizmodo had a great review on this model last year, and I made this video with mine just last week. [Refurb DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, $699]

Don't want a refurb? You can currently get it new for $949 on Amazon, an all-time low (and frustratingly, $50 less than what I paid a few weeks ago)

The GoPro Hero4 Black is a wide-angle, 4K, and slow motion beast, and you can save 20% (and probably dodge sales tax) if you get it today on eBay. This is the best price we've seen so far on the Hero4 Black, and I'd be willing to bet that it's the best deal we'll see until new models ship. Be sure to check out Gizmodo's review if you want to learn more. [GoPro Hero4 Black, $399]

You can use (a tiny portion of) that money you saved to get some accessories too. [33pc Go Pro Ultimate Accessory Kit, $21]
