Top Deals

If you still haven’t upgraded your home network to 802.11ac, or if you just want to fill in a few dead zones in the corners of your home, Amazons running a huge sale today on routers, range extenders and more from TP-Link.

Inside, you’ll find routers starting at $59, modems, range extenders, smart switches, ethernet hubs, and more, most of which are marked down to all-time low prices. Just note that like all Gold Box deals, these prices are only available today, or until sold out.

Eufy is a new home-focused brand from Anker, and its upgraded robotic vacuum just got its first discount.

Promo code eufy2101 will save you $50 on the RoboVac 20, which is a souped-up version of the popular Anker RoboVac ($200). Compared to the original, the RoboVac 20 runs twice as long on its built-in battery, includes ultrasonic sensors to navigate around obstacles and find its home base, and ships with a virtual wall barrier to keep it in a certain area.

Feature-wise, it stacks up very well with mid-level Roombas, but at $250, it’s far more affordable.

It might not feel like it right now, but dry winter air is just around the corner, but you can fight back with this Eufy (Anker’s new home division) humidifier.

The Humos Air 1.1 can run for over 24 hours with its 1.1 gallon tank, and includes a a sensor to measure your room’s humidity level, three different modes, and even a slot to add a few drops of scented oils to freshen up your home. To celebrate the launch of the new Eufy brand, you can save $10 with promo code eufy3140, bringing the Humos down to $50.

A good chef’s knife is by far the most important tool in any cook’s arsenal, and you can get yourself a great—not to mention beautiful—one from Shun for just $59 on Amazon today.

We already know that Shun makes one of your favorite chef’s knives, and while the Shun Sora doesn’t share the Premier’s steel layering or wooden handle, it only costs about 1/3 as much, and reviewers still give it high marks. The biggest draw here though, at least for me, is the samurai sword-style waves on the blade. Holy crap that’s pretty.

This knife most commonly sells for $80 on Amazon, but you can grab one for $59 right now. Just be careful with it!

Like the idea of a Belkin WeMo Switch, but not willing to spend up to $60 to try one out? TP-Link’s well reviewed alternatives are on sale today.

Just like a WeMo Insight switch, TP-Link’s Smart Plug will let you turn appliances on and off from your smartphone, track their energy usage, and set schedules to toggle them automatically. The only major feature it’s lacking is IFTTT support, but it will integrate with an Amazon Echo for voice control. $28 is one of the best prices we’ve ever seen.

As for your home’s built-in lighting fixtures, TP-Link’s new smart light switch is also on sale for an all-time low $25.

Both deals are part of a larger Gold Box on TP-Link networking gear, so if you’re in the market for routers, modems, or range extenders, you can find the rest of the deals here.

I got this juicer for my dad’s birthday last year, and he seems to like it. In fact, he sent me the above video of it completely obliterating an orange, skin and all. $80 is $20 off this model’s usual price, which is very rarely discounted.

If you’re a fan of hardside luggage, you can score a complete set of three bags today from American Tourister for $200, with a 10 year warranty.

This deal is available on the black and blue “Arona” set, which includes 29" and 25" checked bags, plus a 20" carry-on, all with built-in locks and spinner wheels. Just use promo code FALL200 at checkout to save 50%.

Just when you thought you’d seen it all in the USB battery pack world, this 5,000mAh battery from RAVPower includes a Qi charging pad to power up your phone wirelessly. Sure, that’s a little bit of a gimmick, but it does mean you don’t have to carry an extra charging cable, and unlike most battery packs, this one can serve a purpose when you aren’t traveling.

If you were thinking of picking up a PS4 Slim anyway, this Uncharted bundle includes an extra DualShock 4, which would normally set you back $40-$50. As far as PS4 deals go, that’s pretty great!

So you want to try a standing desk, but don’t want to commit to it for eight hours a day...what do you do? You get off your butt and buy this monitor riser for an all-time low price, that’s what.

This FlexiSpot riser arrives fully assembled, and sits on top of your existing desk. Just place your monitor(s) on the top shelf, your keyboard and mouse on the bottom, and use their integrated spring system to raise the entire setup from a sitting to standing position within seconds. I own a very similar product from Varidesk (which was more expensive, by the way), and I absolutely love it. Just use promo code KF79X97H at checkout to save 10%.

I can tell you from experience that you’ll want an anti-fatigue mat to stand on if you buy this thing, and it should be 3/4" thick at a minimum.

If you want to build a home theater PC, you won’t find a better starting point than Intel’s Next Unit of Computing kits. This tiny box contains an Intel Core i5 chip (which should be sufficient for light gaming), various display outputs, and integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antennas, all for $310.

The catch is that you’ll need to add RAM, and storage to get it up and running, but once you do, you can install XBMC, Kodi or Plex, and start streaming. $310 is the best price Amazon’s ever listed on this model, but it’s already slightly backordered, so I wouldn’t wait around if you’re interested.

If you aren’t thrilled with your mattress, but don’t want to pay hundreds of dollars to replace it, a 2" memory foam toppers can make it feel brand new.

As part of an Amazon Gold Box deal, you can grab a king or California king for $85, a queen for $75, or smaller sizes for even less. Just don’t sleep on it; these discounts will only last until the end of the day, and they could sell out early.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided isn’t even a month old, but you can already score a copy for $40 on PS4 and Xbox One in today’s Amazon Gold Box. This deal is only available today, or until sold out, so rip off your trench coat and get buying.

Game of Thrones cleaned up (again) at last night’s Emmy Awards, and if you somehow haven’t watched it yet, Amazon will sell you the first two season on Blu-ray/Digital HD for $37, today only.

This Logitech K480 Bluetooth keyboard is compatible with iOS, Android, Windows, and OS X, and can switch between three of your devices with the flick of a switch, and even prop up your phone and tablet for easy viewing. $25 is also a match for the best price we’ve seen.

If you don’t mind a refurb, Amazon also has it for $20.

iTunes gift card discounts are noticeably less common than they used to be, and while we do see 20% discounts from time to time, a $50 iTunes gift card for $42.50 is still a solid deal if you pay for apps, movies, Apple Music, iCloud storage, or PokéCoins.

The UE Boom 2 is the waterproof sequel for one of the best Bluetooth speakers of all time, and Amazon’s marked it down to $150 today, matching an all-time low.

If you know of any friends or family members with infants, or even have one of your own, Amazon’s offering big discounts on a collection of Graco car seats and strollers today as part of a Gold Box Deal. Just note that these prices are only, available today, or until sold out, so don’t start crying if you miss out.

Celebrate Geektemberfest (that’s a thing, right?) with ThinkGeek’s huge sale. This includes three different daily deals, 20-60% off 150+ items, and a free Das Can-in-Stein, which turns any can into a stein, when you spend $50+. Let the geek flow through you.

If price has been the barrier to entry keeping you from better audio, jump on the best deal ever on Status Audio’s CB-1s, $67 with code KINJA20.

Status is a direct-to-consumer headphone company, building great cans in proven form factors without the markup that comes with popular brands. In fact, there’s no branding here whatsoever.

The CB-1s are extremely comfortable out of the box, more so (for me) than the ATH-M50X, MDR7506, SR60e, or V-MODA Crossfade Wireless, just to name a few off the top of my head (ha!). The “ergonomic” ear pads that were the primary criticism in initial coverage of the CB-1s have been done away with, and their upgraded design is one of the few I can comfortably wear all day.

The CB-1s have a (relatively) flat frequency response that’s great for listening to a variety of music or audio/video editing, with a wide sound stage in a closed back design. I get good isolation/seal with the updated pads. The inclusion of two detachable cables- coiled and straight, is also generous and welcome. Even better that they smartly attach with a twist lock.

We know from five years of Kinja Deals that great over-ear, closed back headphones for under $70 is no joke. Depending on what you’ve shelled out for in the past, they might even blow away your much more expensive pairs.

You might have a bathroom scale at home that works just fine for weighing luggage when you’re leaving town, but this hanging scale is small enough to take with you, so you can make sure you won’t get dinged for all of those heavy souvenirs on your return trip. All it has to do is save you from an overweight baggage fee once, and it will have paid for itself several times over.

BUNN’s Velocity Brew is one of your favorite automatic coffee makers, so this $77 deal on the glass carafe version ought to perk you up. That’s an all-time low, and a solid discount from its usual $90-$100.

The Body Shop isn’t just for great smelling body lotions and bridal shower gifts. The skin care at The Body Shop is low key amazing. I’ve tried most of the Vitamin C line and it’s pretty much amazing, especially for summer. Get 40% off sitewide right now, plus a free facial cleanser when you spend $50.

The Tea Tree line is the most popular, with Vitamin C right behind (which I wrote about over here). I’m dying to try their new masks but they aren’t included in the sale and $28 is a little steep for a mask with no reviews. I just stumbled upon the universal shade of the Lip & Cheek Velvet Stick that changes based on your pH that seems promising.

Phillips’ insanely popular Wake-Up Light is here to change your life. This is a higher-end model than what we’ve previous seen marked down, and includes an FM radio and five different natural sounds to wake up to. Grab it right now on Amazon for under $100.

Unlike an unsympathetic traditional alarm clock, the Philips Wake-Up Light eases you awake with a gradually-brightening light that simulates a natural sunrise, which is how humans are designed to wake up anyway. After the light gets you out of your R.E.M. cycle and ready to wake up, an audible alarm will finish the job at the time of your choosing. Plus, it also doubles as a very warm and pleasant reading light as you’re getting ready to go to sleep. I’ve owned this thing for over a year, and I can definitely tell the difference when I sleep away from home and have to rely solely on my iPhone alarm.

Just when you thought you knew everything there was to know about cable management, the depths of Amazon toss you a surprise. This magnetic cable clip system includes one magnetic base that you can stick anywhere via its included adhesive, and three magnetic clips that you attach to your most-used cables, allowing them to stick to the base effortlessly.

There are surely less expensive cable holders out there—we post deals on them frequently—but the allure of just dropping your cable onto a magnetic base and knowing that it’ll stay put is awfully tempting.

Six brightness levels, three color temperatures, a USB charging port, and an elegant aluminum design. What more could you want out of a desk lamp?

Oh hey, it’s another string light deal! This 19' strand runs totally off of solar power, making it perfect for dressing up your patio.

For a limited time, Under Armour is shipping every order for free, with no minimum, in case you need some new autumn athleisure gear. Plus, outlet items are marked down an additional 25% across the board.

We see deals on WeMo switches and TP-Link Smart Plugs on a pretty regular basis, but this similar product from Koogeek is Apple HomeKit certified, and only $25 today.

Like those other smart switches, the Koogeek Wi-Fi Smart Plug includes an app for turning your electronics on and off, and putting them on a schedule. The key difference here is that you can also control it with Siri from your phone, or from Control Center in iOS 10. That’s a big deal if you’re an iPhone owner, and with promo code PSMQUAO9, you’re not even paying a premium for it.

If you own the new MacBook (or any USB-C device, really), Anker’s 60W USB-C charging hub is the best wall charger you can buy, and it’s about $7 less than usual today.

You could spend $30 or more on a night out this weekend to see Snowden in theaters, or you could stay home and rent the superior Citizenfour for $1.

Anker’s kevlar-wrapped Powerline charging cables are some of your favorites, and you can add six microUSBs to your collection for $13 today.

Bar none, Sport-Brella is the ultimate beach umbrella, and Amazon’s discounting the newest model (which includes a floor) to just $45 today.

Unlike a regular umbrella, Sport-Brella leans backwards and attaches to the sand with stakes, creating a kind of semi-private cocoon with enough space for a couple of chairs and a cooler. Best of all, it sets up in about five minutes (once you know what you’re doing), and can provide a full day’s worth of privacy and sun protection. Today’s price isn’t the best we’ve ever seen, but it’s a solid deal if you have a beach trip on the horizon.

Finally, someone made the Glow Bowl, but for everywhere else in your home. This motion-sensing light strip is billed as an under-bed night light, but you could just as easily attach it under your bathroom counter, along a railing, beneath your baby’s crib, or anywhere else you might need to venture in the middle of the night. For a limited time, you can get one for just $20 with code SJMFQK08.

Amazon’s back at it again with the sample box deals. This time around, $10 gets you 8+ protein products, plus a $10 credit on your next protein purchase from Amazon. If you were going to buy any of these products anyway, then this is a no-brainer.
