Bissell AirRam Cordless Vacuum, $160
It’s 2017, and your vacuum cleaner shouldn’t have a cord anymore. Luckily, you can save $40 on this well-designed Bissell AirRam, today only.
The AirRam includes a rechargeable lithium ion battery that can run for 30 minutes at a time, a multi-surface brush roll, and LED lights to help you track down dirt. The feature that really sets it apart though is its slim design and lie-flat handle, which allows you to slide it completely under couches, beds, and other furniture, meaning you’ll actually get around to cleaning those areas more than twice a year.
Today’s $160 deal is the first discount Amazon’s offered on this model since it launched in September, but it’s only available today, or until sold out.
Anker PowerCore Speed 10000 Battery Pack, $25 with code ANKSPEED | Anker PowerPort Speed 4, $27 | Anker PowerDrive+ 1, $11 with code ANKPU001
Anker makes basically all of our readers’ favorite charging gear, and if you have any Quick Charge 3.0-compatible devices in your repertoire, you can save 15 percent on several different chargers today.
Anker PowerLine MicroUSB Cable 5-Pack, $11
Anker’s kevlar-wrapped PowerLine cables have been an immediate hit with our readers, and you can upgrade your entire MicroUSB cable collection today with this $11 five-pack. That’s a couple bucks less than the usual price for this pack, which includes a two 1’ cables, two 3’, and a 6’.
Aukey 5-Pack Remote Outlet Switches, $22 with code AUKEYR52
You can’t control these semi-smart power outlet switches with your phone, or automate them with IFTTT recipes like you can with Belkin’s WeMo line, but you can control them from across your house with a remote control, and they’re incredibly cheap today.
Motion Activated Toilet Night Light, $8 with code V4H6MPFG
You probably looked at that image up there and laughed. But let me tell you, there’s nothing funny about using the bathroom in the middle of the night and having to turn on an overhead light to see where you’re going. Because as soon as you hit that switch, you know you’re not getting back to sleep for another hour.
This $8 light fits on just about any toilet and can output 16 different colors of light at five brightness levels, without wreaking havoc on your circadian rhythms. Just be sure to use code V4H6MPFG at checkout to get the deal.
Prep Solutions Microwave Bacon Grill, $10
Before you work yourselves into a froth and unleash fury upon me in the comments, let me make one thing clear: I know bacon isn’t meant to be cooked in the microwave. An oven will do a better job, or a skillet, or hell, even a machine gun. That being said, some mornings you just want some damn bacon, and you don’t have time to cook it properly.
The Presto PowerCrisp can nuke 7-9 strips at once, and its design allows the grease to drain off, ostensibly leaving you with something resembling crispiness. It’s down to an all-time low $10 right now (albeit as an add-on item), and has a surprisingly great review average, so it might be worth trying out.
Thermos Stainless Steel Beverage Can Insulator, $8
Let’s be honest here, thin fabric koozies are mostly useful for decoration; they don’t really keep a can cold for very long. This vacuum-insulated Thermos contraption though? It’s the real deal.
Thermos’s stainless-steel can insulator uses vacuum insulation and thick walls to actually provide a barrier between your beverage and the outside world. They go so far as to claim that it will keep a can cold for up to three hours, and even if that’s a little bit of marketing hyperbole, what could possibly be in that can that takes more than an hour to drink?
Even during the winter months, it has the added benefit of protecting your bare skin from cold, damp cans, so you can use it all year round.
Nearly 2,000 Amazon reviewers have given the Thermos a 4.5-star review average, and you can get one (or more!) for just $8 right now, matching a short-lived deal from last week. Bottom’s up!
Sport Squad HX40 air hockey table, $37
Obviously it’s not regulation size, but an air hockey table for $37? Sign me up. This price is an all-time low; just make sure you have a good table to set it on.
