Top Tech Deals

I know 4K is the new hotness, but 2560x1440 QHD monitors still give you a ton of screen real estate, and work with a wider variety of computers. So if you’re looking to upgrade your workspace, $170 is a terrific price for a QHD IPS panel, let alone one from a top-tier manufactuer like Acer.

Logitech’s K780 keyboard can connect to essentially any modern computing device over either Bluetooth or with a USB wireless dongle, including smartphones, tablets, home theater PCs, game consoles and smart TVs as well.

The same could be said for a lot of wireless keyboards though, so what’s so great about this one? The K780 can stay paired to three devices at once, and switch between them at the touch of a button, so you won’t have to go through a cumbersome pairing process every time you want to switch from controlling your smart TV to your Xbox One. It’ll also run for up to two years on a pair of included AAA batteries, and even has a stand built right in for phones and tablets.

$60's the best price Amazon’s ever listed on this model, so you never need to type in your Netflix password with a joystick ever again.

You can never have enough external storage, so when you can get 4TB for $95, you should take full advantage. Just note that this model does require a power cord, so it’ll need to stay tethered in the same place, but that’s fine for an office environment, or for use as a PS4 or Xbox One external drive.

If only the fastest storage will do, SanDisk’s Extreme 500 external SSDs are on sale for $30-$40 off their usual prices right now on Amazon. Obviously, you’ll get a ton more space for your money by buying standard external hard drives, but none of those are even in the same ballpark in terms of speed.

Anker’s SoundCore is your favorite Bluetooth speaker, but if you need something a little more portable, they don’t get much smaller than the SoundCore nano.

With a sole 3W driver and only four hours of battery life, the nano’s not going to blow you away, but its aluminum construction looks fantastic, you can tie it to the outside of a bag, and it’ll get the job done for quick listening sessions on the go. These were on sale for $19 a few weeks ago, but now you can pick one up in silver or pink for just $16 for Mother’s Day.

DJI’s Phantom 4 camera drone changed the game with automatic obstacle avoidance and subject tracking, and you can get the drone for an all-time low $799 today.

You know the little charging brick that came with your phone? Throw it out, and spend $5 on this replacement from Aukey (with code AUCHARGE). It’s only slightly larger than Apple’s standard iPhone charger, but it includes two ports, folding prongs, and 2.4A of current (shared between the ports) to charge your devices faster.

Want to try your hands at digital drawing on a starving artist’s budget? Wacom’s Intuos graphics tablet and pen is down to an all-time low $62 for Prime members right now.

This isn’t the flagship in Wacom’s lineup, but it features 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity, and it also doubles as a giant multitouch trackpad that you can use with your fingers.

Anker’s PowerLine Lightning cables have long been our readers’ favorites, and two different models are on sale today on Amazon.

First up, $24 gets you a 3-pack of standard PowerLine cables in three different lengths, including an extra-long 10' cable that’d be great for using on the couch. That price is about $6 less than this pack usually goes for.

But if only the best will do, you can also save a couple bucks off the usual price of the new PowerLine II Dura cable, which is even stronger than the original, and most importantly, includes a lifetime warranty if you do manage to break it.

Anker’s new PowerDrive 2 Elite can output 12W on both ports simultaneously, and it looks really nice to boot. Use promo code BEST2212 at checkout to save $4.

Anker’s SoundCore blew away the competition to take the title of your favorite affordable Bluetooth speaker, and today, you can pick one up for $29, the best price we’ve seen since Black Friday.

In addition to solid sound quality and impressive Bluetooth range, the standout feature here is the SoundCore’s 24 hour battery life. I’ve owned one for over a year now, and while I’ll occasionally remember to plug it in when I pass by a spare microUSB cord, it’s never once given me a low battery warning, and I use it a lot.

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 AU2KA5OO.

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.

Top Home Deals

Everyone should own a cordless hand vacuum for cleaning shelves and car seats, and this Black & Decker has never been cheaper than today’s $20 deal. In fact, it rarely dips below $30.

While it’s not the most powerful hand vacuum you can buy, it does include a crevice tool, an upholstery brush, and a wall-mounted charger, so I imagine you’ll find yourself using it a ton. Just note that today’s deal is a Gold Box, so grab yours before they’re all vacuumed up.

Breville’s reader-favorite Smart Ovens almost never go on sale, but Amazon’s offering a rare $50 discount today on the most popular model.

I got one of these as a wedding gift last year, and it’s every bit as good as advertised. In addition to the obvious use cases like toasting bread or cooking a frozen pizza, I basically use it as my “real” oven for any recipe I can fit, since it preheats significantly faster than a full sized oven, and doesn’t heat up the entire house.

The art to the perfect cup of iced coffee is all in the drip. The DRIPO is a $24 cold brew system from gosh! (yeah, that’s really the name of the brand) makes 10oz of coffee in as little as two hours, and has a built in mug. Make Japanese-style cold brew, which is less acidic and harsh, in a travel-friendly package.

You don’t really need the micro-filters that they use, but it does help distribute the water evenly.

Mrs. Meyer’s plant-based soap is normally quite a bit more expensive than the competition, but with a 20% Amazon coupon, it’s priced just right. Choose between 3-packs of their hand soap or dish soap in multiple scents. Personally, I opt for Basil or Lemon Verbena, but add your favorite to your cart, and you’ll see the discount at checkout.

Grabbing breakfast or lunch with coworkers can be a great way to break up the day, but more often than not you’ll just wallow in your own indecision before ordering a bad $17 sandwich.

Break the cycle with Soylent, a nutritionally complete meal replacement shake that now comes in multiple flavors (Coffiest is good!). Clip the coupon to save 35% off your first Subscribe and Save order (you can just cancel after the first delivery if you don’t want more).

The Alexa-powered Ecobee4 smart thermostat is shipping soon, and that means bargain hunters can score a big discount on the still-excellent Ecobee3. If you aren’t familiar, this thermostat has basically all the features you’d expect from, say, a Nest thermostat, but includes a remote temperature sensor that gives it a fuller picture of your home.

Anker already makes a bunch of your favorite tech gear, so why not add flashlights to the list? This week, you can get two of their entry-level LC40 lights for $19, an all-time low.

Somewhat surprisingly, this model doesn’t include a built-in rechargeable battery, but it can run for six hours on a rechargeable (and inexpensive) 18650 battery.

If you’ve come home after work to one too many destroyed pillows or overturned trashcans, this ingenious little gadget can help you keep an eye on your pets from anywhere.

Petcube is a Wi-Fi camera, intercom system, and laser toy all wrapped into one sleek package, and Amazon is selling it today for $90, the best price we’ve seen since Black Friday. The video above does a better job of explaining this thing than I ever could, and if you own a pet and spend a lot of time away from home, it certainly seems like it could be a great investment. It would also make a solid Mother’s Day gift, assuming your mom, you know, has pets.

If coworkers have been stealing your food out of the office fridge, or you just want to keep a couple drinks cold at the beach, this flexible lunch box is basically made out of ice packs. Just freeze it overnight, and it’ll keep your food and drinks chilled for up to 10 hours.

Little Giant Ladders are some of the most popular on the market, and you can get a 15' model for an all-time low $150 from Amazon today. This thing can work as an A-frame ladder, an extension ladder, a 90 degree ladder, and even a stair ladder, making this one of the most versatile ways to get high.

Update: This price has continued to drop, now down to $162! Spend your savings on more meat.

This $195 $168 $162 Char-Broil electric smoker makes cooking jerky, brisket, or (insert meat of your choice) as easy as dropping in some wood chips and hitting a few buttons. With precise temperature control and a large smoke box, you’ll have complete command over the finished product. Today’s price is an all-time low, which means you’ll have more money leftover to buy meat. Lots and lots of meat.

If you still haven’t upgraded your morning routine with a life-changing wake-up light, the top-of-the-line model has never been cheaper than it is today on Amazon.

The high-end HF3520 comes packed with five different wake-up sounds, an FM radio, the ability to set two different alarms, and a color-shifting light that accurately mimics the gradually shifting light you’d see during a real sunrise. I’ve been using a cheaper model for years, and I miss is desperately whenever I travel.

We posted this late last week at $95, which at the time was an all-time low, so today’s deal is truly unprecedented.

If you’ve been itching to get an Amazon Echo (and you really should get one), but balk at the $180 price tag, Amazon’s offering up certified refurbs for $135 right now, the best price of the year.

Amazon’s certified refurbished products are all inspected and tested to work like new, and include the same one-year warranty you’d get with a brand new product, so there’s really no downside to going this route.

Yi, manufacturer of your favorite affordable action cam, also makes a home IP security camera, and you can pick it up for just $35 today, or $5 less than usual.

The Yi Home Camera includes all the basic features you’d expect, including two-way audio, automatic activity alerts to your phone, and remote monitoring. And unlike other companies that rely on cloud storage and monthly fees, the Yi stores your files on an onboard microSD card, no membership required. That means it’s less than ideal for home burglary situations, but perfectly adequate for saying hi to your dog while you’re at work.

This glass water bottle looks great, comes with a nylon sleeve, and even has a built-in tea infuser for on-the-go brewing. Drink it all up for just $16 with code TEA700ML.

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 $69 (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.

Anker’s home goods brand, Eufy, put its crazy-popular copper string lights back on sale today for one of the best prices we’ve seen lowest price ever, complete with adjustable brightness and multiple effects. Our readers have bought so many of these, that I assume we have the best decorated patios, on average, of any readership on the web. And yeah, I’m calling you out, Apartment Therapy.

Dyson dominated the nominations in our favorite vacuum Co-Op, and you can pick up a refurbished Dyson V6 Motorhead from Dyson’s own eBay store for a ridiculously low $160 today with promo code PERFECTSTART. You’d be hard pressed to find any Dyson vacuum for under $200, let alone a battery-powered one, so I’d take advantage of this deal before they’re all cleaned out.

If you’re hooked on IZZE soda sparkling juice, you can save an extra 25% on a 24-can variety pack today, courtesy of Amazon. The page shows it at $16, but the on-screen 25% coupon should bring it down to $12 at checkout. Drink up!

A giant inflatable pool swan might be the silliest deal we’ve ever posted, but hey, it’s never been cheaper. Just don’t end up like Johnny Football.

OxyLED’s T02-U is my favorite motion-sensing night light in the uber-popular T-02 line, and the popular lighting company is offering our readers the best deal ever on it today. Just add two to your cart and use code 2KINJA2U at checkout to get them both for $22.

Note: Just to be clear, you’ll need to add two one-packs to your cart. If you use this code on the 2-pack, it won’t work.

Unlike most stick-anywhere motion lights (including most other T-02 models), the T-02U includes a built-in rechargeable battery, an always-on mode, and two rows of LEDs to put out more light.

A lot of people are reflexively appalled by the idea of a bidet, which makes no sense, because they’re amazing. Today on Amazon, you can score one Greenco for $19, the best price it’s ever been.

That’s basically nothing for a product you’ll use (hopefully) every day, but this deal could sell out any time though, so purchase or get off the pot.

Most of the Sonicare deals we see are on the powerful Flexcare and the more budget-friendly Essense. But today, Amazon’s Gold Box is about keeping your pearly whites, uh, pearly white. Pick Up a Philips Sonicare Healthy White for $60, today only, and maybe impress your dentist at your next checkup.

With fully 39 different length settings between 1 and 20 mm, Braun’s Beard & Hair trimmer is perfectly suited for, well, both your beard and your hair. It even comes with a free Gillette Fusion ProGlide razor with FlexBall to tidy up your edges. Not bad for $30.

The best time to pick up personal care items is when you have a coupon. Right now, take 20% off all personal care and beauty items from Jet.com with the code MAYEVERYDAY. Brands like Neutrogena, Dove, Q-tips, and Oral-B, and more are included, so you can basically restock your medicine cabinet for 20% off.

Just know that the most you’ll be able to save is $35, but that’s a hell of a lot of toothpaste and sunscreen.

You voted Indochino your favorite custom clothing company by a wide margin, and this week you can dress yourself in one of their premium suits for just $350. Use promo code KINJA.

You do not have to go through the measurement and customization process to lock in this discount. You can checkout now and submit later, which makes it very easy to gift a suit.

This matches our exclusive Black Friday discount, which is the best deal Indochino’s ever offered, and one of our most popular exclusives ever.

Having a suit that fits perfectly is great, but the little details Indochino lets you customize, from your jacket lapels to pocket flaps to accent stiching around your buttons, are where things get fun.

How It Works

Measure and customize from home...

Follow the directions on Indochino’s site to submit your measurements and customize your suit. Once the suit arrives, if anything doesn’t fit quite right, Indochino will provide directions for your local tailor, along with a $75 credit to cover their work. If for whatever reason your tailor cannot resolve the issues, Indochino will remake your suit. Shipping and return shipping are free.

If you live near a showroom...

Purchase your suit online with our discount and take your receipt/account info into an Indochino showroom. They’ll do your measurements, walk you through your customization options, and have your suit delivered to the showroom. Return once it arrives for any final alterations if they’re needed.

Those who already have a closet full of suits may want to opt for something more interesting like the Indigo Twill Windowpane, while the rest of us should go for something versatile.

Let us know what you’ll be wearing to your next event (or day at the office) in the comments.

Cheap razors are kind of Dorco’s thing, but $2 for a handle and two six-blade cartridges, plus free shipping? You probably spent more on coffee this morning. Just use promo code KINJA5117 at checkout to get the deal.

Top Media Deals

Score 15 iconic and creepy films in one attractive box. $72 is the lowest price Amazon’s ever offered on the Alfred Hitchcock Masterpiece Collection.

This Scorsese triple feature Blu-ray includes The Departed, Goodfellas, and The Aviator, all for $10. You could say it’s the way of the future...of your movie nights.

As an aside, how has it been 20 years?!

Humble’s Very Positive Bundle is built around one core concept, and it’s a good one: Positive user reviews on Steam. All eight games here boast at least 88% positive ratings from players, so there isn’t a stinker in the bunch, even if you may not have heard of every title.

As always, different games are locked behind different price tiers, but with a top tier of $10, it’s one of the more affordable bundles Humble’s run.

Star Wars Episode VIII is only seven months away, so prepare yourself with this discounted LEGO Rebel U-Wing Fighter. For $54, you’ll get an awesome vehicle with working blasters, plus a mini-fig of Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor. Death Star plans and cheeky British droid to save the day, not included.

If you need a new controller for your Xbox, or just want to upgrade your PC gamepad, it’s your lucky day.

You’ve got two options to choose from here: The controller by itself for $27, or the controller plus a copy of Metal Gear Solid V for $40. Just note that the latter bundle comes with an Xbox One S controller with built-in Bluetooth, whereas the cheaper controller is the older model without Bluetooth.
