The supermassive version of our favorite surround sound system is down to an all-time low price, today only on Amazon.

If you aren’t familiar, this VIZIO system offers true 5.1 surround sound by way of a wireless subwoofer and a pair of satellite speakers, all without the aid of of a receiver. I own a smaller version of the same setup, and absolutely love it. [VIZIO S5451w-C2 5.1 Channel Sound Bar with Subwoofer and Surrounds, $300]

Don’t care about the rear channels? [VIZIO SB3821-C6 38-Inch 2.1 Channel Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer, $139. Extra $10 off for Prime members]

Cordless hand vacs are great for cleaning the nooks and crannies of your house, but they’re especially great for vacuuming out your car.

This 16 volt model from Black & Decker is just $39 today on Amazon, an all-time low. That’s great if you want it for yourself, but it’d also be a perfect passive aggressive holiday gift for your less tidy family members.

Just note that this is a Gold Box deal, meaning it’s only available today, or until sold out. [Black & Decker 16 volt Lithium Cordless Dust Buster, $39]

If you got yourself a new PS4 during Deals Week, but haven’t subscribed to PlayStation Plus yet, it’s time to fix that. [PlayStation Plus, $40]

We’ve said it before, but at $12, you should have one of these plugged in anywhere you spend a significant amount of time. [Mpow 40W/8A 5-Port USB Wall Charger, $12 with code ZFWZV23J]

The best selling piece of cookware we’ve ever posted is back down to its all-time low price. If you enjoy spending time in the kitchen, you shouldn’t hesitate.

This All-Clad 12” skillet features a durable stainless steel cooking surface, an even and rapid-heating aluminum core, and a beautiful stainless exterior, all sandwiched together to create the ultimate pan. And, like all All-Clad items, it comes with a lifetime warranty, though you probably won’t need it as long as you treat it well. [All-Clad 12” Tri-Ply Skillet, $90]

Though less common than it used to be, it’s still possible to come across an ethernet-only networking environment when traveling. Luckily, you can be prepared with this ultra-cheap travel router from HooToo.

Even if you aren’t using it to create a Wi-Fi hotspot, you can plug in a USB flash drive or hard drive, and turn it into a portable NAS to stream content to all of your devices, which is a very cool trick. [HooToo Wireless Travel Router, $15 with code YNX24HUX]

If you’ve ever spent more than 5 seconds sorting through your mismatched leftover containers to find the right lid, it’s time to throw them all out and upgrade to this 42-piece Rubbermaid system.

The set comes with 21 containers in six different sizes, and yet you only have to deal with three different sizes of lids, making it much easier to find the right one. Personally, I prefer glass storage sets like this one from Pyrex, but if you want to maximize the number of containers you get for your money, this is your best bet. [Rubbermaid Easy Find Lid Food Storage Set, Plastic, 42-Piece, $18]

Every modem rental fee you pay to your ISP is padding for their bottom line, and a total rip-off for you. Fortunately, you can buy your own modem for a relatively small upfront cost, and knock a few bucks off your monthly bill.

There’s a general consensus that Motorola’s SB6141 is the best modem for most cable internet subscribers, but it usually runs in the $80-$90 range. Today only though, you can score a refurb from Woot for $50 shipped, the best price we’ve ever seen. It’ll pay for itself eventually no matter what it costs, but this is a great opportunity to save a decent chunk of change on this particular model. Refurb [Arris SB6141 SURFboard eXtreme DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem, $50]

There’s also a cheaper option that tops out at 171mbps downstream, but I’d probably get the 6141 for future-proofing purposes, unless you really can’s spare the extra $15. [Refurb Arris SB6121 SURFboard eXtreme DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem, $35]

These $10 earbuds feature a wooden design, and solid reviews. I’m sure there are better sounding headphones out there, but I doubt you’ll find a better looking pair for this price. [Inateck Premium Genuine Wood In-ear Noise-isolating Hi-Fi Headphones, $10 with code JF7X5DYT]

Some of your Studio Ghibli favorites are just $13 each today.

Ponyo ($13) | Amazon

Castle in the Sky ($13) | Amazon

The Secret World of Arrietty ($13) | Amazon

My Neighbor Totoro ($13) | Amazon

Howl’s Moving Castle ($13) | Amazon

If you missed out over the weekend, you can stillsave 10% on all PlayStation digital codes from Amazon with promo code L1L2R1R2.

You probably already know that 10% won’t create great deals on many full games compared to discounts we see on discs, but the code will also work on rarely-discounted DLC that you have to buy digitally anyway. That means you can save on season passes for Fallout 4, Star Wars Battlefront, and Black Ops III, or digital currency for sports games. There are also a few already-discounted games that this will stack with, listed below.

Just note that you can only use the code once, so make sure you fill your cart with everything you need before checking out. [10% off PlayStation Digital Codes, Promo Code L1L2R1R2]

Granted, Shovel Knight is available for $15 digitally whenever you want it, but if you prefer a physical copy, you can preorder on PS4, 3DS, and Wii U for $20 today, or $5 off MSRP. [Shovel Knight [Boxed], $20]

I assume most of you already own Civilization V, but just in case, here’s the complete edition for $12. This is a mandatory addition to any Steam library. [Sid Meier’s Civilization V: The Complete Edition, $12]

Here’s another new TV deal, if nothing struck your fancy during Black Friday. Prime members can upgrade to a 50” Vizio M-series 4K TV for just $599 (discount shown at checkout), which is the best price we’ve ever seen. That comes complete with local dimming, smart apps, and a well-reviewed upscaling engine for 1080p content. [Vizio M-Series 50” 4K, $599 for Prime Members]

The massive Anker Astro E7 25,600mAh 3-Port External Battery Pack is down to its lowest price ever, if you hurry. Not everyone needs this much power, but it’s enough juice to keep the average smartphone running for a week or more. [Anker Astro E7 Ultra-High Capacity 26800mAh 3-Port 4A Compact Portable Charger, $40 with code XVPW37Z6]

More Anker Discounts:

Anki Overdrive is like slot cars for the smartphone age, and the starter set is cheaper than ever for Cyber Monday. This would make a great gift (to yourself). [Anki Overdrive, $120]

Just because you don’t have a yard doesn’t mean you can’t grow your own food. Miracle-Gro’s Aerogarden 6 is a fully-integrated soil-free indoor garden that can grow herbs, vegetables, and salad greens up to five times faster than regular soil. Nothing beats cooking with food you grew yourself, and it never hurts to add a splash of green into a confined apartment, especially during the winter doldrums.

This particular starter kit includes six starter pods (Genovese Basil, Thai Basil, Cilantro, Curly Parsley, Dill and Mint), and today’s price is the lowest Amazon’s listed in years. [Miracle-Gro Aerogarden 6 Starter Kit, $109]
