It's machine washable, comes in over 30 colors, and stays put thanks to its elastic bottom and foam inserts.

A two-pack of Venus Visage teeth-whitening pens for 30% off if coffee, wine, tea, smoking, or soda stains have taken a toll on your pearly whites. Just apply it twice daily for 30 minutes to see the best results. Its soft tip brush and formula are also good for people with sensitive teeth!

1. A Ring Doorbell for 45% off — the lowest price it gets! — meaning if you've been wanting one of these but have been holding off 'cause it's too expensive, this should be the time to get it! This ~smart~ doorbell lets you see, hear, and speak to whoever's at your door from your phone, whether you're home or halfway across the country. With motion detection, night vision, and real-time alerts, it's basically a modern-day peephole that's got your back 24/7 — and yes, it works with Alexa, too.

Amazon

It has a built-in battery that charges with a USB-C charging port. So to recharge, just detach it from the wall and connect it to the *included* charging cable. Reviewers say the installation was easy and that a single charge lasts a couple months!

Promising review: "Easy to install and adds a great level of security. It functions well. Connected easily to my phone. It is sensitive to motion near the area. Gives a clear image. My young son now says good night to me before his mommy puts him to bed, and I’m at work. That is an added bonus to having this Ring doorbell. Along with the security, I feel [like I'm at home] when I’m away from home. It was a small investment to add more security for my home and family." —Peggy

Price: $54.99 (originally $99.99; available in two colors).

2. A queen-sized Tempur-Pedic "Tempur-Cloud" dual cooling pillow for 53% off if you're tired of flipping to the "cool side" of the pillow — because both sides are chillin' now. The material easily adapts to your head and neck like a dream, plus the dual cooling gel layers will help you stay cool at night. Whether you sleep on your back, side, or stomach, this pillow's got your back (er, neck). Bonus: the cover's machine-washable because real ones know that drool happens.

Amazon

Promising review: "The most comfortable and log. Lasting pillow I have found. It’s pricey but worth every dollar. I have struggled with finding a pillow that works for me to sleep the entire night pain free and this one has worked for over a year and still feels just as good as new!!!" —Erika Havens

Price: $88.49 (originally $189; also available in a king-size).

3. A two-pack of Venus Visage teeth-whitening pens for 30% off if coffee, wine, tea, smoking, or soda stains have taken a toll on your pearly whites. Just apply it twice daily for 30 minutes to see the best results. Its soft tip brush and formula are also good for people with sensitive teeth!

amazon.com

BTW, each pen contains about 20 uses!

Promising review: "I have to say, I was skeptical about this product from all the TikTok hype about it, but after trying it out, it really does work. This was super easy, didn’t hurt my teeth at all, and didn’t taste much different than my regular toothpaste since I got the mint-flavored one. I used it for a few weeks before my brother’s wedding, and it worked like a charm. I noticed visible results in only a couple of days and was able to keep using it until I reached my desired shade of white. 10/10 would recommend for anyone with sensitive teeth and tastes!" —Victoria Bravo

Promising review: "Saw this on BuzzFeed — they were right! It's easy to use and actually works. I was so surprised at how well this pen bleached out some coffee stains on my teeth after just one application. I've tried Crest Whitestrips, and this is better because you can get in between the teeth." —CS

Price: $13.27 (originally $18.95; just make sure to clip the 30% off coupon for this price; also available in packs of one and four).

4. A cordless Dyson V8 for $120 off one of the most iconic and sought-after vacuums. It's powerful, lightweight, and tackles pet hair like a pro, and turns into a handheld vac in seconds. Say goodbye to cords and hello to cleaner tile, hardwood, and carpet floors.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "This is one of the best things I've ever bought, I wish I had bought it sooner! I have four dogs and it picks up their hair easily, and the anti-tangle roller actually works! It was very easy to assemble, it's lightweight, easy to maneuver, and the dust bin is super easy to empty. The suction is very good and so far I haven't needed to use the max setting. I highly recommend the Dyson V8 Plus Cordless Vacuum!" —Jazzylu

Price: $349.99 (originally $469.99).

5. A pack of washing machine cleaner tablets for 22% off to clean the grime, gunk, and funky smells in all the hidden spots you can't easily reach (or at all).

Active is a small-biz based in Minneapolis that specializes in cleaning products.

Promising review: "Easy to use, I use this after I wash the dog beds in the washer. It doesn’t seem like there’s any buildup in the washer. Which is good, because my husband likes to drown the clothes in detergent whenever he does laundry. It’s especially important to remove any buildup in the machine, because I wash my son’s cloth diapers in there and buildup in the machine could cause him to get rashes. I like to use these weekly." —D0minAZN

Price: $15.55 (originally $19.95 for a pack of 24).

6. A Craftsman Mechanics Tool Set for 50% off! This 230-piece set comes with everything you need, including an assortment of sockets, ratchets, wrenches, and specialty bits for you at-home mechanics out there. It comes super organized in its three-drawer box so you can easily find what you need!

amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "Great deal if you can get it on sale. I was a little concerned when I heard that Craftsman tools were no longer made in the US, as I love all my older Craftsman stuff. But this set is great and I love the storage and trays, which have some spare room for other sockets and extensions that I have accumulated over the years. No, it’s not a high-end mechanics set, but it’s well worth it for the average person looking to work on their cars or whatever. Would recommend it if you see it in sale." —Amazon Customer

Price: $99+ (Originally $199, available in one other sale-price kit and two original-price kits).

7. A 4K Amazon Fire TV Stick for 40% off so you can turn your regular ol' TV into a marathon-watching beast. This tiny but mighty stick delivers crisp 4K Ultra HD, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Dolby Atmos audio for some serious cinematic vibes — all from your couch, of course. It supports faster streaming (goodbye, buffering) and features an Alexa Voice Remote so you can literally just say what you want to watch. It's the perfect way to watch Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, Disney+, and way more!

Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: "I’ve been using Fire Sticks for a while now, and I can honestly say these new ones are a great improvement. They’re much faster and more reliable compared to the older versions. The older models started having issues, and it was really frustrating when they began to go out. It was honestly disappointing because I loved the product, but those problems made me hesitant to continue using it. However, these new Fire Sticks have been a pleasant surprise. They load faster, stream more smoothly, and I haven’t had any of the issues I experienced with the older models. I’m really happy with the upgrade, and it’s made a noticeable difference in how much I enjoy using them. If you’re considering the new Fire Stick, I’d say it’s definitely worth it!" —The Real Deal Reviews with Jenny

Price: $29.99 (originally $49.99)

8. A dehumidifier for 20% off that'll suck the moisture out of your air. It pulls up to 35 pints of water a day, so it's perfect if your basement, bedroom, or entire home is starting to feel like a swamp. It's even got wheels and a washable filter, too.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Bought in 2019, still in peak performance! She's all busted up from being moved around the house by two kids over the years and works just as good as day one. There were no options for all those extra bells and whistles when I bought it back in the day.... does exactly what it should! I'm definitely saving this brand/model for the, inevitable, sad day when our unit will pass over the rainbow bridge. If I was smart, and rich enough, I'd buy another one already." —Sheri P.

Price: $195.29 (originally $244.99; available in various styles for different-sized spaces).

9. An Alexa-compatible Roborock robotic vacuum and mop for 43% off, the most affordable it's ever been! If you identify as someone who *loathes* cleaning, then this is the device for you. It'll automatically mop and vacuum and then self-empty, -clean, and -refill more water to keep tackling the dirtiest of messes (including dirt, dust, pet hair, and crumbs). It scrubs in 200 circles per minute, holds 5L of water, and has hot-air drying, so there's no slippery mess on your floors.

amazon.com, amazon.com

It also has reactive tech so it'll go around obstacles *and* it works on floors, tile, and carpet! Plus, you can control it from an app on your phone, make advanced cleaning schedules, *and* map out the floorplan of your home. This thing seriously does it all.

Promising review: "If I could give this baby a hundred stars, I would. She's my new best friend. Compact, high power vacuum, thorough mop, AND it cleans/empties itself??? It's a dream come true. It's not a quiet machine by any means, but I wasn't expecting it to be. This beauty will map out your entire house and you can literally tell it to just clean one room, or not to mop a certain room. I always use the deep clean setting because I have pets. I did a test between hand mopping and letting the machine do its thing, and it works just as well without me having to lift a finger. I love this thing more than most people, and I've written her into my will. A couple of things I would tell someone who purchases, only because they didn't initially occur to me: 1. Dump the dirty mop water bucket each time you use it. Yes, it'll hold more than one cycle's worth, but because it's so convenient, I forgot and that water gets NASTY :) 2. I now also check the rotating brush at the front of the unit every couple of times because strings and hair can get wrapped around it, and it won't rotate like it should." —skauffman

Price: $459.98+ (originally $799.99; available on sale-price in four colors)

10. A Simple Modern rubber tote bag for up to 30% off, a roomy, waterproof carryall that's perfect for beach days, pool hangs or just hauling everything you own in one stylish swoop. It's made of sturdy EVA material (aka it's easy to clean and won't flop over), has comfy straps, and even comes with a removable zipper pouch to keep your phone and keys safe. Bonus: It looks like just like the Bogg Bag but it's *much* cheaper.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "So glad I bought the XL Simple Modern Tote for our beach bag. It holds everything we need for the beach with room to spare, beach towels, snacks, books, sunscreen, shells, the pocket is nice for lip sunscreen, keys, and cellphones, too! It seemed like an expensive splurge, but I’m so glad I bought this tote!! I think I’ll also get a lot of use toting items to/from work, and for groceries, so a good value and will hold up for many years. Not heavy. Very sturdy, it doesn’t fall over even on [a] windy beach! Very comfy to carry. The handles are long enough [that] you can easily get your arm through with [the] bag filled. Also, other reviews complain of the slight curve, and after sampling other similar bags, I thought this is a plus, making it more comfortable to carry against your body. And the handles easily fold down…. the biggest plus of all! Don’t hesitate, just buy this bag. Glad I did! —JADMOM

Price: $41.99+ (typically $59.99 on Simple Modern, originally $59.99 on Amazon; available in 23 colors and three sizes).

11. A cordless lawn mower for 30% off with a push-to-start button so you don't have to tug on a stubborn cord three times before getting your yard work done. It's quiet, powerful, and gas-free to help ensure that you won't deal with fumes or any fuss. BTW, the battery lasts up to 45 minutes!

amazon.com

Promising review: So my husband bought this because we were fed up with our [last] mower and when it did work, the vibrations did nothing for my severe carpal tunnel. So he bought the electric mower. We have had it for a month or two now and it's been wonderful to use. It's quiet, turns on easily, and [has] no vibration so my hands don't hurt when I finish using it. I've used all kinds of push mowers over the past 25 years, and I never thought I'd like a battery-powered one. I thought it would only be good for trim and small jobs. Well, let me tell you I just used it to cut an area that is usually under water, and our riding mower can't do [it], so the grass is 3 to 4 feet tall — and it just cut through it without a problem. I only wish that it was a bit wider and that the battery life was a bit [longer]. The battery lasts about an hour, which is enough for most jobs." —Kat Melton

Price: $209.98 (originally $299; available in different sizes).

12. A stainless steel Breville Barista Pro Espresso Machine for 29% off, the lowest it's ever been (you'll save over $200!). Perfect for anyone who's tired of spending $7 a day for someone else just to mess up their coffee order. This can heat up in just three seconds, grinds your beans fresh with 30 adjustable settings, and helps you pull barista-level espresso shots from the comfort of your pajamas. Plus, the built-in steam wand even lets you froth milk like a latte artist — heart-shaped foam, anyone?

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "Obsessed with my new espresso machine. Definitely a learning curve, but it's worth all of the effort. The manual is easy to read and the machine is user-friendly. The Breville Barista Pro makes great-tasting espresso, especially for those who aren't looking to drop thousands of dollars. I love it!" —Kristina H

Price: $599.99 (originally $849.95; also available in three other colors).

13. A solar generator for 36% off that'll save you a cool 200 bucks if you decide to get it today. It'll keep your gadgets juiced and your adventures uninterrupted, whether you're camping off-grid, prepping for outages, or just want to flex your eco-friendly side. These sleek power stations are built to deliver clean, quiet energy with no gas, fumes, or noise accompanying it.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I can highly recommend this portable power station. I purchased this because I wanted something portable when I am not near my truck camper. I thought this power station would be larger, but it is not; it’s lightweight and very easy to store. I was able to run my Starlink and two laptop chargers throughout the day. Using the app is very convenient to check and understand the power draw from the devices that are plugged in." —Jeff

Price: $448.99 (originally $699).

14. A set of solar-powered outdoor string lights for up to 40% off that'll make your backyard feel like a Pinterest board that came to life. These Edison-style beauties give off a warm, cozy glow, run on solar power, and can handle rain, wind, and snow. Just stake the panel in the sun, let it charge, and now you have perfect vibes for every outdoot night!

amazon.com

Btw, reviewers say to buy the same length because the bulbs are spaced out differently between the various lengths!

Promising review: "These lights are great! They are easy to install. We put ours on a fence around our backyard. They come with a clip that makes it super simple. The lights are much brighter than you'd think for solar and you can brighten them even more with the included remote. What's also very cool is that you can turn them off at night with the remote if you want to do so. Just remember to click the remote to the ON position the next morning so the lights will automatically come back on at night. They are made of a good quality plastic so there are no worries about the bulbs breaking." —JJ Reviews

Price: $29.99 (originally $49.99; available in three colors and three lengths).

15. A clip-on JBL speaker for 38% off, aka it's best price to date! You can attach it to your chairs, foldout tables, or even your bag — 'cause we can all agree that the trek from the beach to your car is just the worst, right? And don't worry about whipping it out at the beach either, because it's waterproof and dustproof!

Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: "I was not expecting much from a 'mini' portable speaker. But this thing packs a punch. Sound that filled the house when I tried it out, and then blasted it on full blast, and sounded great still! The updated carabiner clips perfectly to our Yeti tote bag, which we use for everyday lugging and beach days. Extra points for looking really good, too. Cost is well worth it. And it charged super quickly. (Fully charged in less than 30 mins... but did not time it exactly) Easy to link via Bluetooth and launch the JBL app for fine-tuning the EQ. It has a nice weighty feel that feels like a durable quality build. Size is a little bigger than I was thinking but still very portable and easy to pack, clip, and hide away when not using." —David Cardenas

Price: $49.95 (originally $79.95; available in nine color schemes).

16. A Kojic Acid Dark Spot Remover Soap for 20% off that helped one reviewer make their dark spot of 20 years *poof* into existence. It's formulated with powerhouse ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and turmeric to help hyperpigmentation disappear. And if you're worried it'll leave your skin feeling dry or stripped, it *also* has shea butter, olive oil, and hyaluronic acid to help combat that.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I got this in hopes of lightening my dark inner thighs. It’s been a month of using the bar every time I shower, and I see drastic results already. I was a bit suspicious if this would actually work, but if you are on the fence please take this as a sign to get it and try it out. I’m so excited to see how I look in a few months from now because this thing works, and it works fast!" —puppbear

Promising review: "I started using this product one month ago. I use it all over my body [and] it lightened my underarms just in time for spring. I wish I knew about this sooner." —Michaella Leyein

Price: $11.99 (originally $14.99; also available in multipacks).

amazon.com, Amazon

Price: $29.99 (originally $49.99).

If you're tired of playing "Where's my charging cable" every time your phone hits 1%, then this baby will solve all your woes since it comes with USB-A, USB-C, Lightning, and micro-USB cords already built in. The best part is that they fit seamlessly into the back so they won't get bent out of shape.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I’ve had this charger for a little over six months now and it is AWESOME. My best friend has had the same one for years and I was a little weary as a lot of the time built-in cords can be cheap. Not these at all. You can charge multiple things at once and this portable charger does hold a charge for a good amount of time, if no one‘s on their phone while they are charging with it, you could probably get two or three full charges. It does take a little while to charge up, but it is a wonderful charger and I would highly recommend." —olivia

Price: $19.98 (originally $29.99, available in six colors).

amazon.com

It *also* comes with tools for stairs, upholstery, and tight corners.

Promising review: "My Hoover pet carpet cleaner from 2008 finally quit this years after being the best thing since sliced bread. I was really not looking forward to trying to replace it as in my opinion it seems like things are made so poorly these days. I found this cleaner and gave it a try. Let me tell you, I’m loving this even more that the one it replaced. The divided solution tank is so awesome and lasts!! The carpet comes out looking new and smell so great!! It was easy to put together and is easy to use!! Both my boyfriend and I have gone on and on about how it’s one of the best purchases we’ve made. We also got lucky finding it when it was an Amazon deal of the day, we feel like we’ve already got out money out of it." —Melissa M Hughes

Price: $149.99 (originally $219.99).

I would definitely recommend this product." —Patrick Johnson

I love the adjustable feature it's awesome, and [I] love the little hole in the back center for cords to feed through. The adjustable buttons are super easy to use. So much happier with this as my new work desk from what I had before. The adjustable height [allows] you [to] use any chair you want.
