As a country girl from Mississippi, I was never much a fan of camping – for one, because that far south, temperatures and humidity were unbearable during certain times of the year, and for another, because we already lived in a rural area so I would always rather enjoy nature near home and return to the comforts of AC when I was exhausted and dehydrating. It wasn’t until I moved northward, now living in NYC for 17 years, that I came to enjoy the disconnect camping – or even just hanging out all day in a park – could afford. Of course, this usually involves filling and refilling a cooler with more and more ice as the hours went on, which is no longer a problem when introducing an electric cooler into the equation. Enter the Anker SOLIX EverFrost 2 58L Electric Cooler with its dual-zone compartments, which I’ve been testing out despite New York’s still-chilly spring weather, but will certainly be a useful companion once the recreational baseball season here picks up later this month, running through summer. Head below to read about my experience so far with this all-new model that makes ice runs a thing of the past.

If you live in a home with pets, kids, or have regular visitors coming and going, then you know floors are bound to get dirty, and while cleaning is a necessity, it may be quite the annoying task once you factor in your other responsibilities into the equation. That’s why I have been an enthusiastic supporter of adding robot cleaners to my home, which has been a true game changer – both for my apartment’s upkeep, as well as for my own sanity, as it allows me a little more breathing room in my personal life to unwind and relax. After the major improvements I saw with Yeedi’s M12 Pro+ model, I was excited to see what the brand had improved upon with its latest release, the flagship S14 Plus Robot Vacuum and Mop, which has taken things to the next level. Continue reading below to learn more about what to expect through setup, performance, and some of the highlights that come with this upgraded model.

When I reviewed the ECOVACS DEEBOT T30S Combo about six months ago, I had no idea how much I would grow to love it. Having used several different models and brands, there was always something to complain about with each one. Throughout all of my other robot vacuum adventures, one has reigned supreme, and that’s the ECOVACS DEEBOT T30S. So when the day finally came and some head-turning sale prices arrived, I purchased two more so I could have one on each level of my home.

Back in August, my partner and I decided to invest in Whisker’s Litter-Robot 3, which I raved about in my subsequent review that you can check out here. While there was a bit of a learning curve for my sweet furbaby, he has since adjusted and all the problems that we were dealing with in his first few months since adopting him have become a thing of the past. That’s why, when given the chance to try out Whisker’s newest model, the Litter-Robot 4, with the add-on LitterHopper, I jumped at the chance to find out just how much the company has improved upon its previous designs. Not only has it been an even more comprehensive addition to my home, but it also expanded and improved many of the things I felt were missing from its predecessor. Head below to learn more about Whisker’s Litter-Robot 4, the next stage of smart, self-cleaning litter boxes that should be in the home of every cat owner.

Alongside some of the even more affordable models, below, one standout here is the brand’s Petcube Play 2 Wi-Fi Pet Camera with the onboard laser toy at $63.99 shipped.

After debuting in mid-August as some of the most affordable smart video doorbells from brands we trust and feature around here, the new TP-Link Tapo D120 and D225 have now hit new all-time lows on Amazon. The more affordable TP-Link Tapo D120 as now dropped from the regular $70 price tag down to $46.99 shipped and the dual-powered (more on this below) Tapo D225 has now fallen to $79.99 shipped from the regular $100 price tag. We did see launch deals at $51 and $85 back in August, but today’s offers undercut both to deliver the best we have seen yet. 

Amazon is now offering a relatively rare deal on the Eve Motion Sensor with Matter down at $39.95 shipped. This is a regularly $50 intelligent motion sensor that is now seeing a solid 20% price to deliver one of the lowest prices we have tracked this year. This model did drop to $35 for a couple days during the July Prime Day sale, but it rarely goes on sale outside of holiday events like that and has otherwise held strong between $45 and $48 for all off 2024 outside of a brief stint at $40 back in February. 

Amazon’s early Prime Big Deal Days are now live, and now joining the Ring offers we featured already, it’s time for the Blink deals. Amazon’s Blink smart home brand delivers some particularly aggressive and competitive pricing and it all just got even lower. You can now score the 2024 Blink Mini 2 smart camera for just $19.99 with free shipping for Prime members or in orders over $35.

Now available for purchase with some launch deals, we will take a deeper dive down below. 

The official Govee Amazon storefront is now offering a notable limited-time Lightning deal on its smart Alexa/Google Assistant RGBIC Floor Lamp at $59.98 shipped. Regularly $100, this is 40% off the going rate, the lowest we have seen in months, and on par with the previous price drop we spotted back in May. This certainly isn’t the latest model in the lineup, but if you’re looking to secure the similar floor lamp from the brand with Matter support, it’s going to cost you $124.99 shipped on sale from the usual $160 price tag right now – check out our launch coverage from earlier this year on this model if you’re interested. 

The new Eve Light Switch with Matter is debuting today. In the brand’s continued effort to future-proof its popular HomeKit smart home ecosystem, today Eve is launching its Light Switch with Matter, allowing the switch to be controlled directly via iOS 18 on iPhone 15 Pro and the new iPhone 16 devices without a home hub and play nice with the rest of the Matter gear in your setup. This, much like what we saw with its smart Weather Station back in July, also means the brand is serving up a free Matter firmware upgrade for existing owners of the third-generation Eve Light Switch via the Eve app. 

Today only, as part of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is now offering a 3-pack of TP-Link Tapo Smart Plug Minis with Matter down at $24.99 shipped.

Not long ago, my partner and I brought home a young cat (named Kraydor the Wizard Boy, FYI, and not by me) after he was having trouble getting adopted from our local shelter. Among these first few months, he has been having some…issues with using the litter box – primarily, he refused to use it if it was not immediately cleaned after every use. We had started him off with some pellets that had been recently introduced in our home to fight the odors that linger from typical litter while keeping our floors from being covered in scattered bits. After he instead began relieving himself in random places around the apartment, we tried clumping litter, as our other cat has always preferred it and it allowed Kraydor to better bury his business out of sight, and hopefully out of mind longer than his next visit. This did not work, however, so in a last ditch attempt to save our sanity from having to clean the box every few hours (he’s young and goes regularly), we instead decided to bite the bullet on Whisker’s Litter-Robot 3 Connect, a smart, self-cleaning litter box that manages the worst part of cat companionship.

Just after the debut of the new 4th Gen Google Nest Learning Thermostat and joining ongoing all-time lows on the Google’s wireless Nest video doorbells, Amazon and Best Buy are now offering solid discounts on the Google Nest Cam with Floodlight. Regularly $279, you can land one at Amazon or Best Buy for $209 shipped to deliver 25% in savings. This is the second-lowest total we have tracked on Amazon this year, coming within $10 of the 2024 low there. 

Joining the rest of the Eve Labor Day smart home deals, Amazon is also offering the brand’s 6.6-foot HomeKit Light Strip down at $39.99 shipped. Regularly $80, this is as much as 50% off the MSRP and the lowest price we can find. It has more typically been selling for between $50 and $60 at Amazon over the last several months, but today’s offer is the lowest we have tracked since May, coming within $10 of the Amazon all-time low – we have only seen it go for less twice there.

Welcome to our collection of the best Labor Day deals under $30. While Labor Day typically ushers in big-time price drops on more pricey gear like smart TVs and Apple tech, home appliances, and e-bikes, and we have certainly featured offers on all of those things, we thought it would be helpful to put the spotlight on some of the less expensive gear we love that is seeing notable deals ahead of Labor Day weekend too. Spread across a range of product categories, from charging and smart home gear to travel companion gadgets, mini smart speakers, and some grilling accessories, you’ll find some of our favorite Labor Day deals for under $30 highlighted down below, alongside the rest of the deals we have been tracking all week.

Just after featuring the return of Prime Day pricing on the Eve Flare HomeKit smart lamp, we are ready to highlight more of the brand’s Labor Day deals starting with the Eve Weather HomeKit outdoor weather station at $59.95 shipped. While the new Matter-equipped version is still sitting at the full $80 price tag, this version is essentially identical just with a focus on Apple’s smart home ecosystem. Now 25% off the regular $80 price tag, this is $5 below the best prices we have tracked this year outside of a quick drop to $50 for Prime Day.
