B&H offers Google Pixel 3a 64GB in various colors for $349 shipped. You’ll also receive 3-months of Mint Mobile service and an AVODA clear case valued at $80. The phone alone typically goes for $399 or more at retailers like Amazon, as a comparison. Need Pixel 3a XL? B&H has it for $429 with the same added accessories thrown in. You’d typically pay $479 at other retailers ahead of the extra bonuses.
Pixel 3a delivers a 5.6-inch HD display, alongside 64GB worth of internal storage and a 12MP camera. You can count on up to seven hours of use after just 15 minutes on a charger.

My first interaction with a portable air conditioner was not a good one. The central air failed at my business and I needed to ensure the climate was acceptable until the problem could be resolved. Cooling performance was impressive, but the omission of smart functionality was rather disappointing. LG is tackling this problem with its new smart air conditioner.
It’s a portable unit capable of cranking out 14,000 BTUs and is not LG’s first attempt at making a smart air conditioner. The new product joins several other window models that churn up to 22,000 BTUs. It sports LG’s proprietary Dual Inverter Compressor, allowing it to keep noise to a minimum while providing a 40% improvement in energy efficiency.
At CES 2019, Ecovacs Robotics showed off its latest robot vacuum, the Deebot Ozmo 960. What differentiates the Ozmo 960 from some of the company’s other high-end cleaners is the implementation of AI that detects obstacles like cables, socks, and more. Once it finds these items, the robot avoids them entirely so it doesn’t clog itself and or damage the item in question.
Without a doubt, this is a feature that every robot vacuum should have, but don’t. Thankfully this type of innovation is bound to expand throughout the rest of the market since it is what consumers expect from automated devices.
Walmart is currently offering a two-pack of Google Home Max Assistant Speakers for $548 shipped.

Google’s Hi-Fi Assistant Speaker offers access to everything you already love about the voice assistant, but with much higher-quality audio than the Home Mini. We think it’s “an absolutely fantastic speaker,” but if you don’t want to take our word for it, over. 100 customers have left a 4.6/5 star rating.

Kaskade returns to his deep house roots with Estelle on sunny “Day Trippin’,” and collaborates with electro-poppers Two Nations for the beachy shoegazer “Papercuts.”
