• The best phone deal: Google Pixel 10a for $424 ($75 off)

• The best robot vacuum deal: Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro for $550 ($250 off)

Best Tech Deals

The Google Pixel 10a is our favorite Android phone overall, partially because it's cheap. The low price comes with a ton of value, from the slick performance and powerful cameras to the years of software and security updates.

The JBL Go 5 is our top budget Bluetooth speaker. It's available in 10 different colors, most of which are down to a match of the best price we've seen. It's durable, lightweight, and sounds good for its size.

We see this deal for our favorite workout earbuds pretty regularly, but they only ever get about $20 cheaper, so it's still a solid option if you're in the market. The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 play well with iOS and Android, have punchy sound, and feature the option for both transparency mode and active noise canceling.

The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 remain our top earbuds for Android users (they also work with iOS). They're aesthetically pleasing. They sound great. They're comfortable, have a long-lasting battery, and active noise cancellation, plus some useful software features. If you want good earbuds that aren't AirPods, these might be up your alley.

Best Home Deals

The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro is a solid, relatively affordable robot vacuum. It could do a better job at cleaning up tricky spills, but it has good suction power and this is the best price we've seen since it was released.

Our top smart bird feeder is available in a few discounted configurations, but we prefer this one since it comes with AI bird identification and a solar charging panel. It's been slightly cheaper before, but this deal is still a good one.

I’ve tested air purifiers that cost 10 times as much as this budget Levoit, but I keep coming back to this affordable pick. I really love the connected app, which lets me adjust settings like fan speed and modes from afar and check filter life. Plus, the app sends notifications when air quality is poor and updates when it reaches clean levels again. You can also see historical indoor air quality levels and the corresponding action the purifier took, which helps track patterns. It’s also compatible with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant for voice control. —Molly Higgins

One of the best cordless stick vacuums you can buy is available in a few different configurations, and one of those options is on sale. The Shark PowerDetect vacuum has powerful suction and a bendable body that can slide under furniture. The base station version comes with more features, and the Speed version is a little cheaper (and our current top pick), but only the sole PowerDetect vacuum is on sale as of press time. —Nena Farrell

Before it was an honorable mention in our router buying guide, the TP-Link Roam 7 was a top pick. And we still like it! It's a good portable option for traveling or smaller apartments, and it has support for mobile tethering and VPN.
