By

A $150 robotic vacuum that’s actually good, the new FitDesk 3.0 and a mouse to ease wrist pain lead off Monday’s best deals from around the web.

Top Tech Deals

Whether your current mouse is giving you chronic wrist pain, or you just want to try something different, this 4.3 star rated wireless ergonomic vertical mouse from Anker is only $15 today, or $5 less than usual. In addition to the clever design, it even comes with three adjustable DPI settings and forward/back buttons, which are pretty rare at this price level.

Amazon usually sells certified refurbished Echo Dots for $5 less than new models, but for now at least, that discount has increased to $12. Refurbished Dots still carry the same warranty as new ones, so there’s really no downside to going this route if you want to sprinkle these around your home on a budget.

While integrated sound bars are increasingly popular options for home theater audio, if you like to kick it old school with a receiver and satellite speakers, this feature-packed Yamaha receiver is down to an all-time low $400 today, or about $200 less than usual.

The Yamaha RX-V681BL includes five HDMI inputs, 4K passthrough support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth streaming, 7.2 channels of audio output, and more. Basically, you’d have to have a really complicated home theater setup for this to not check all of your boxes.

Vizio’s turnkey sound bar systems are the easiest way to upgrade to 5.1 surround sound, requiring relatively few wires, and no AV receiver. We haven’t seen a decent deal on them in awhile, but while supplies last, you can pick up a refurb for just $150. I own this exact system, and absolutely love it.

There have been a lot of deals lately on Apple’s W1-equipped Beats headphones, but $100 for a pair of BeatsX is an all-time low, and a fantastic deal for iPhone owners that want an AirPods-like pairing experience on a budget.

From Gizmodo:

“The Beats X are the third product from Beats (and the fourth from all of Apple) to use the new W1 Bluetooth chipset. This Apple-designed chipset should allow for better battery life. It also makes pairing with an Apple device a total snap—as long as your iPhone runs iOS 10.1 or higher. All I had to do to pair was turn the Beats X and bring them near my phone. A ‘Connect’ button instantly popped up and I was off—music ready to be heard wirelessly.”

It’s officially beach season, and if you want to keep your phones protected from the surf and sand, you can get a two-pack of Mpow dry bags for just $7 today with promo code F75VF8GY.

You don’t need to sell a kidney to afford noise-cancelling Bluetooth earbuds; these 4 star-rated Cowin E-7s are just $39 right now, or $31 off with promo code K8WP23JH.

They might not have the brand recognition of Sony or Bose, but these headphones pack in 30 hours of battery life, the ability to use them in wired mode if the battery dies, and yes, active noise cancellation that reviewers say works really well.

Anker’s original SoundBuds are your favorite affordable wireless earbuds, but the new SoundBuds Tag just got their biggest discount ever. $26 is $10 less than usual, and beats the previous deal we saw by $2.

The Tags basically appear to be a slightly tweaked version of the SoundBuds Sport, boasting a redesigned remote and better ear tips. Like the Sports though, they’ll still turn off when you connect the two magnetic earpieces together, and turn back on once you pull them apart. Smart.

Anker’s PowerCore Speed 10000 is part of your favorite line of USB battery packs, and you can pick one up on Amazon today for just $27, or about $5 less than usual. Not to be confused with the older PowerCore 10000, this model includes Quick Charge 3.0 (backwards compatible with 2.0), which should feed power into your compatible phone like a firehose.

You also get Anker’s standard 18 month warranty and a nice travel pouch, but the real reason to buy the PowerCore 10000 is its size. If you’ve owned other ~10,000mAh battery packs, you’ll be shocked how small and light this thing is.

Update: Sold out, hope you got one!

The RoboVac 11 from Eufy (a division of Anker) is one of your favorite robotic vacuums, and in my own testing, it’s every bit as good (and far quieter) than my Roomba. If it’s been on your radar, today’s deal on Amazon is by far the best price we’ve ever seen.

Despite its impressive performance, the RoboVac normally sells for over $100 less than the comparable Roomba 650, and today on Amazon, you can get an extra $70 off its usual price. This deal is set to expire at the end of the day, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all if they sold out early. Vacuuming is the worst chore, so it’s worth every penny to pawn it off to a robot.

Update: Both of the models on Amazon are sold out, but eBay has the Ecoobee3 for $148 when you use the code P20MEMDAY.

While they don’t have the brand recognition of Nest’s learning Thermostat, Ecobee’s smart thermostats one-up their most popular competitor by pairing with wireless remote sensors that you can place elsewhere in your house, giving them a more accurate picture of your home’s overall temperature. Plus, they work with Siri and Alexa, and the new Ecobee4 actually has Alexa built-in, meaning it’s basically an extra Echo Dot on your wall.

Both the new Ecobee4 and Ecobee3 Lite (which doesn’t come with remote sensors, though you can add them separately) are $10 off right now, the best discounts we’ve seen so far on the new models.

Some people can’t live without their coffee, but for me, it’s fizzy water. While supplies last, you can get a SodaStream Source from Amazon for $62 (after you clip the $15 coupon), complete with a small starter CO2 canister, and a mail-in rebate for a free full-sized starter canister. If you regularly buy soda or carbonated water at the store, it’ll pay for itself.

If your tires are about due for a replacement, Discount Tire Direct is offering up to $100 in Visa gift card rebates (in addition to any manufacturer rebates) when you order four new tires, plus an additional $100 if you order wheels as well, plus an extra $60 on each if you use a Discount Tire credit card. Just enter your make and model, click the options to see tires on promotion, and you’ll see the rebate amount (either $25, $75, or $100) on the right hand side.

While suction cup-based smartphone car mounts have been largely supplanted by magnetic solutions, this Anker dash mount is a fantastic option for anyone who doesn’t want to block a vent or use a case with their phone. If that sounds like you, speed over to Amazon to get it for $14, its lowest price in months.

To celebrate Memorial Day, eBay is offering 20% off select home goods with promo code C20MEMDAY, including Dyson vacuums.

Unlike most eBay coupons, there doesn’t seem to be a single list of eligible sellers to pick from; though their Home & Garden landing page should be a decent place to start. The discount is capped at $50, and you’ll need to purchase at least $50 worth of eligible items to get it. Once you get to the checkout screen, choose PayPal as your payment method and enter the promo code to see the discount.

OxyLED already makes tons of incredibly popular LED lighting products, and their new desk lamp looks like a winner.

The OxyRead X7 features six brightness levels and cool and warm light modes, which can help boost your productivity, or ease you to sleep while reading at night. Plus, its two built-in USB ports mean you can keep your favorite devices charged while you burn the midnight oil. Just be sure to use promo code KINJAX7N at checkout to save $5.

Rachio brought home sprinkler systems into the smartphone age, and both their 8 and 16-zone systems come with free $50 Amazon gift cards for a limited time.

These controllers can automatically adjust watering schedules based on the weather, and if you want to keep tabs on it, its iOS and Android app will show you how much water you’re using (and saving), and allow you to make any adjustments necessary, no matter where you are in the world. They even work with Alexa, so you can water your lawn with nothing but your voice. All of these smarts mean that the IRO can save you over 50% on your outdoor water use, so it should pay for itself over time. It’s also EPA WaterSense Certified, meaning your local water company might offer you a rebate for purchasing it.

Mrs. Meyer’s plant-based soap is normally quite a bit more expensive than the competition, but with this 20% Amazon coupon, it’s priced just right. This set includes dish soap, hand soap, and an all-purpose cleaner, in your choice of three scents: Geranium, Lavender, and Basil.

Top Lifestyle Deals

Our readers have long been fans of the FitDesk 2.0 for getting some exercise while working, and the brand new 3.0 model just got its first major discount.

Compared to the 2.0, the 3.0's big advantage is a much larger desk area, which now includes a pop-up tablet stand and a cup holder, so you can stay hydrated while you fill out expense reports. Plus, it still folds up for easy storage in a closet, and includes a basic stat tracker and eight magnetic resistance levels.

 Today’s $250 deal represents a $150 discount, but it’s only available today, or until sold out.

If you’ve been using the crappy weather as an excuse not to go for a run, you’re SOL. Amazon is right there with you, marking down select styles from Mission Apparel so you can get outside, even if it’s just for a nice, brisk walk to the deli for a sandwich.

Three blades, four blades, or five blades? You get to choose with this Panasonic shaver sale. The Panasonic Arc series includes some of your favorite electric razors, and the Arc3, Arc4, and Arc5 are all marked down at or near all-time low prices today.

If you’ve been eyeing a piece from Everlane for the upcoming three-day weekend, but didn’t want to deal with paying extra shipping costs, now’s your chance. Today only, Everlane is giving you free two-day shipping on everything they sell, including their expanded Choose What You Pay section.

I’m just going to kick off this deal by sharing this product’s Amazon description.

ARE YOU A HAIRY APE?

No problem. Guys feel confident shirtless after using OXA Back Shaver. So, if you have “patchy” or “spotty” patches of hair on your back or body or if you are so hairy that you are often mistaken for being a “hairy ape” there is no job too great for the OXA Back Shaver.

I don’t think back hair is why most men feel uncomfortable shirtless, but I digress.

This product looks very similar to the BaKlade, which we’ve written about before. It doesn’t have many reviews to go off of, but it’s 1/3 the price of the name brand with promo code 9S2F4NB3 so it might be worth checking out if you’re a HAIRY APE.

Another Gizmodo Media Group staff member (who shall remain nameless, but speculate away) bought this last month, and reports that it “does the job.”

The price of these popular Bowflex adjustable dumbbells has been yo-yoing for weeks, but generally speaking, any time they’ve dipped below $200, they’ve sold out fairly quickly. So if you missed out on the last few opportunities, Amazon’s spotting you another chance today.

If you just want to travel with one grooming tool that can do it all, Remington’s battery-powered PG6025 set includes all of these tools for just $16.

  • Full-size Trimmer
  • Foil Shaver
  • Nose, Ear and Detail Trimmer
  • Hair Clipper Comb with 8 Length Settings
  • 3 Beard and Stubble Combs

Just note that the 20% coupon on the page won’t be applied until checkout.

Top Media Deals

The last few weeks have been a painful reminder about the prevalence and danger of cyberattacks, but one step you can take to protect yourself is installing Norton Security Deluxe to monitor against hard-to-spot online threats.

A year’s subscription to the service (which includes licenses for five separate devices) normally costs $50, but for a limited time, our readers can get it for just $30. You can read more about the service here, but you’ll need to click through this link to add it to your cart at the promotional price.

Even if you’re really good at spotting suspicious links and avoiding sketchy downloads, you probably have a few family members who would benefit from this, so be sure to send the deal along.

If you still haven’t tried Spotify Premium, you can get three months for just $1 for a limited time. That’s three months of no ads, better sound quality, offline listening, and full mobile access. Best buck you’ll ever spend.

Note: Only first time Premium subscribers are eligible for this offer.

Top Gaming Deals

The Steam Summer Sale is still a month away, but you can whet your appetite with Humble’s equally enormous Spring Sale.

Inside, you’ll find literally thousands of game deals from the likes of Ubisoft, Deep Silver, Focus, Konami, and more. Plus, since it’s Humble, 5% of your purchase will go to charity, or if you so choose, back into your Humble Wallet for future purchases.

$8 is cheaper than a lot of standard sized mouse pad, but today, that gets you a massive 2.5' x 1' model that can accommodate your keyboard as well.

As a compulsive fidgeter, I’ve tried both fidget cubes and fidget spinners, and there’s frankly no comparison; cubes are far superior. Why limit yourself to spinning when you can roll, click, press, flick, and rub, all on one device? There are two different colors available for $5, just note that they have different promo codes.
