What are the best Amazon Big Spring Sale deals?

There are a lot of massive savings across the entire sale, but there are a few that stand out as real savings.

  • Ninja Creami Scoop and Swirl: $300 (save $150). This is the luxury buy that you want for your kitchen. Homemade ice cream is great, but homemade soft serve ice cream is even better. We love it here at CNET, giving it a phenomenal 9.5 out of 10 in our review.
  • Apple AirPods Pro 3: $199 (save $50). The best earbuds for iPhone owners are on sale. We’ve seen them hit this price during other sales, but these are the compromise-free earbuds for Apple users, according to CNET’s audio expert David Carnoy, and today’s deal sure beats paying full price.

There’s only hours left to get your hands on this Stanley water bottle at a record low price of just $20. Considering this water bottle normally is listed at $45, this is a steal. 

This 32-ounce bottle is both spill and leak proof. It can keep cold drinks cold for up to 24 hours since it has double wall vacuum insulation. It has a top-handle, making it perfect to bring along to work, school, the gym or anywhere really. And best of all, the whole thing is dishwasher safe, making it a breeze to clean. 

This lightweight magnetic phone charger has saved me during flight delays

By Amber Guetebier

It is small but it is mighty

Lisen/CNET

A portable power bank is basically a no-brainer when you’re a frequent traveler but they can add quite a bit of weight to your bag. I purchased this Lisen Qi2 15-watt ultra-slim magnetic charger hoping it would reduce some of the weight while still being an effective back up. And I’m happy to report it’s been one of my favorite purchases of the year. 

True to its claims, it has charged my iPhone 17 from 5% to 50% in under an hour, but the best part is you can charge it while it’s in your pocket. This thing is so slim, it just magnetizes on and you can slide the phone and charger into a pocket or purse and power up while you wander. 

It only weights 3.6 ounces and you can use your phone while it’s charging without a bulky cord. The one drawback is that it only gets your phone to 80%, so it’s more of a backup than a big power source. Still, it’s saved me more than once during deplaning delays and on-the-go activities. It may not be the biggest, baddest power source out there but it makes up for that in size and convenience.

I paid $40 for mine, but you can pick up the same Lisen charger for $25, a decent $15 price break thanks to the last wave of deals coming in during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale

With a rugged design and robust sound, it’s easy to see why CNET audio expert David Carnoy named this the absolute best Bluetooth speaker of 2026. It’s IP67 dust- and waterproof, and boasts an impressive 20-hour battery life. Plus, it has an integrated rope loop for easy transport, and even doubles as a power bank so you can use it to recharge your phone. We’ve occasionally seen it on sale for lesss, but it’s still a great bargain at this price.

Get all your labels printed quickly with our favorite thermal printer

This thermal printer is quick and efficient.

Munbyn/CNET

If you need a quick and easy way to print labels, the Munbyn RealWriter RW402B is the way to go. It’s small, quick and down to only $85 for the Amazon Big Spring Sale. It’s our favorite thermal printer and makes our list of the best printers for your home or office in 2026. I have this one at my desk, and it is excellent for printing out shipping labels. The app is excellent and you can easily get the print done from your phone in less than a minute.

The printer is not just limited to shipping labels, of course. You can print stickers as well, which is excellent because a normal printer is usually tough to work with when it comes to stickers. Even if you have a regular printer, I would recommend you add this one to your setup because of how easy it makes it to print labels at stickers.

These noise-cancelling headphones are one of the best you can get

By Palash Volvoikar

bose-quietcomfort-ultra-2nd-gen-amazon-big-spring-sale-2026

They look and sound good.

Bose/CNET

I’ve been wearing the Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones (2nd Gen) regularly, and the comfort alone sets them apart. They sit light on your head, the ear cushions don’t get hot, and the noise cancellation is as good as it gets right now. They’ve performed splendidly for me during my workout sessions, which is a tall order for headphones in general. There’s a reason they earned a spot on our best headphones list with an Editors’ Choice nod.

If you’re in the market for a new pair of noise-canceling headphones, these are the ones I’d point you toward. They sound fantastic, they block out everything you don’t want to hear, and they hold up well through long listening sessions. Right now they’re $399 on Amazon, which is $50 off the usual $449 price. That’s a solid discount for a recently launched pair.

The 4-Pack AirTag deal you want is back. Down to $60

Even though Apple has released a second generation of AirTag it doesn’t change the effectiveness of the first gen. This 4-pack has been a fan favorite for these events for at least a year and that hasn’t changed for the Spring Sale.

Amazon is currently out of stock of the 4-pack, but Best Buy has them down to just $60 right now. That’s a good saving, bringing the individual price to $15 a unit.

Stock up on essentials like batteries

By Adrian Marlow

Energizer/CNET

While not the most exciting purchase, batteries are handy to have around. Right now, Amazon has slashed a 32-count pack of Energizer AA batteries down to $14. That’s a 29% discount on the usual price, making this one of the best deals on everyday essentials. 

I still use batteries in certain clocks, remotes, kids toys and flashlights, and I’m sure you probably have a few items that need batteries, too. Plus, these alkaline AA batteries last up to 10 years in storage, so even grabbing a box now means you’ll have them on hand for birthdays, holidays and whenever you need a spare.

Be sure to check out more excellent Amazon Big Spring Sale finds you can get for under $25 for this event comes to a close.

This power bank is my international travel essential

By Palash Volvoikar

ugreen-25000mah-145w-power-bank-amazon-big-spring-sale-2026

My favorite battery pack is a beast on the go.

Ugreen/CNET

I’ve taken the UGREEN 25,000mAh 145W power bank on my international trips, and it’s become the one charger I refuse to leave behind. It charges everything I carry, including my laptop, phone and earbuds, and the 25,000mAh capacity means it takes a genuinely long time to drain. The digital percentage display is a small thing that makes a big difference to me, and I like it better than the LED dots most power banks get.

At 90Wh, it also sits in just under the FAA’s 100Wh limit for carry-on batteries, so you won’t get flagged at security. Right now it’s down to $66 on Amazon, a solid $34 off the usual $100 price. If you travel a lot and haven’t invested in a proper power bank yet, this is a great option.

It’s almost pool weather, so get ready for $280 less than normal

By James Bricknell

I know it feels like it’s too early to be thinking about getting your pool ready, but it’s not. It’s already 80 degrees here in Virginia and I can picture all the fun me and my family will have in this 14 foot wide pool. It comes with everying you need to get started including a ladder and an entire pump system to keep it blue all summer long.

Normally this sells for around $680, but for this last day of the Spring Sale it’s down to just $400. That’s a giant savings for a giant pool to frolick the summer days away.

Garmin makes some of the best fitness trackers out there for serious athletes, and this is your chance to put one on your wrist for less. The Forerunner 165 has over 25 preset workout modes, and the built-in GPS makes it easy to track your distance and pace. Plus, it will help keep you on track with personalized recommendations for workouts and recovery. It also supports some convenient smart features like on-wrist notifications and contactless payment.

TCL’s QM8K is one of our favorite TVs and earned an Editors’ Choice Award in 2025. It’s currently down to $978 for the 65-inch, an over-$500 saving and a return to its best price of the year. You can save on the next size up, too, paying $1,498 for the 75-inch. That’s also over $500 off. 

Take $190 off a pair of Beats Studio Pro headphones right now

By Adrian Marlow

Beats/CNET

These premium headphones have excellent active noise canceling, get up to 40 hours of battery life and work with both Apple and Android. Beats Studio Pro headphones are among our favorite headphones on the market, but they list for a whopping $350. Though we see sales often, today’s discount of $190 drops the price of a pair down to just $160. The catch? You’ll have to go with the sand gray option to get that price. I personally think they’re sharp, but for an extra 20 bucks, you can have your pick.

Our readers universally love this backpack, and it’s on sale again

By James Bricknell

Seriously, every time we do one of these events our readers buy this thing in droves. Is it the world’s most perfect bag? Is the call of millenial grey just that powerful? Who can say, but one thing we know for sure is this bag is owned by more CNET readers than just about any other bag.

Actually, now I look at it, I really like the side carry handle and the slip on the back to hold it on your suitcase. And that front pocket does make it easy to pull your laptop out when you’re at the airport. Yeah, ok, I can see why you all like it now. The fact that the price is just $20 also makes it a comelling choice.

Spring break is calling your name, and so are these packing cubes

By Kaylyn McKenna

July/CNET

If you’re getting ready to jet off for spring break or looking ahead to summer vacation, you may want to pick up these July packing cells. I always have trouble fitting everything I need into my suitcase, and keeping my clothes organized throughout my trip, but these packing cubes are a huge help. They compress your clothing to maximize suitcase space and they’re machine washable for easy cleaning between trips.

This set comes with two small cubes, one medium cube and one large cube. The four-piece set is on sale now for $33, a 40% discount on its $55 list price.

New Achievement! You get to buy a great book for less

By James Bricknell

Dungeon Crawler Carl book cover with a pink and yellow background
Ace/CNET

This might be my last chance during the Spring Sale to talk about this, my current reading obssesion. I managed to read all seven of the current books in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series in a little under two weeks and I am on my second read through as we speak. 

Carl, and the actual main character, Princess Donut, the Queen Anne Chonk, are forced into a nightmare scenario where they have to play a real life dungeon escape game. It’s funny, graphically violent and has loads of great video game and tabletop game references that combine into this chaotic bundle of joy. You can get the first book on large format paperback for just $15 right now, or grab all seven books for the staggeringly low price of $38. You’ll want to buy the kindle version if you can, because once you’ve read the first you’ll immediately want the second.

This Amazon soundbar combo is the upgrade your TV needs

By Sneha Iyer

Amazon/CNET

There’s nothing worse when you’re watching a movie than constantly reaching for the remote to turn up the volume every time there’s dialogue, only to scramble to lower it again when an action scene kicks in. The Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus with subwoofer is down to $290 and fixes exactly that. 

You get a 3.1 soundbar with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, plus a dedicated center channel to keep your dialogue crisp and clear. The subwoofer adds bass to your favorite action sequences. It works with most smart TVs, connects via Bluetooth for music streaming and, if you have a Fire TV, one remote controls everything.

This is my favorite 3D printing filament

By James Bricknell

Amazon/Screenshot by CNET

When I say this burnt titanium filament from Flashforge is my favorite, I really do mean it. As you can see from this screenshot, I’ve bought 18 rolls over the last year. It looks so good on prints that you don’t want to paint. The purple and blue shimmering hues make any model look way cooler than normal. Any time it’s on sale, I grab a roll or two, and so should you! $20 per kilo is a bargain for something this pretty.

Add a dash of fun to your trips with my favorite portable projector

By Palash Volvoikar

xgimi-mogo-4-2025-with-powerbase-stand-amazon-big-spring-sale-2026

This portable projector is quite capable.

XGIMI/CNET

Projectors used to be big, bulky and difficult to carry, but not anymore. In recent years, protable projectors have become very capable, and the prices are very reasonable too. My favorite portable projector is the Xgimi Mogo 4, which gives you a full HD image while having the footprint of a large water bottle. I’ve taken this one around for a couple of trips and I can confirm it actually does a pretty good job on the go.

I recommend the bundle with the Powerbase stand which is currently down to $439 from $549 on Amazon. The stand has another battery built into it, so this version gets you a total of five hours of playtime, which is plenty for a trip where you don’t have a wall outlet.

Get the Perfect Shot Without Even Trying

Insta360/CNET

Capture every small memory in 8K without even focusing; the Insta360 X4 Air records in a full circle, so you can just hang out and pick your favorite angles later on your phone. It’s light enough to forget it’s in your pocket, and the invisible selfie stick trick makes it look like a private drone following you around.

If you’re worried about scratches, the lenses are actually replaceable, which is a huge relief for anyone like me who’s a bit clumsy. It’s super steady, even when you’re running or shaking the camera, and while it usually goes for $440, you can grab this starter bundle for just $330

Caught in 4K because your car said no more plot holes

By Priya Tiwari

dashcam
Terunsoui/CNET

Dash cams used to feel a bit extra, but one chaotic traffic moment is all it takes to realize how useful they are. This Terunsoul dash cam works like a silent passenger, recording everything in crisp detail, from everyday drives to those “wait, what just happened” situations. With wide-angle coverage, night vision, and a built-in G-sensor for collision detection, it’s all about low effort and high peace of mind. 

Right now it’s down to $110 from its original $183, which honestly feels like a pretty smart upgrade for both your car and your sanity. It covers both front and rear views, loops footage automatically so storage is never a headache, and locks key clips if something goes down. It’s giving responsible energy, but still very much a set-it-and-forget-it vibe.

I finally found a way to get my photos off my phone

By Sneha Iyer

Liene/CNET

There’s something satisfying about having your favorite photos printed and up on a wall instead of buried somewhere in your camera roll. But getting photos off your phone and onto paper takes more effort than it should. The Liene M100 photo printer is down to $136 right now, making the whole process a lot more straightforward. 

It prints 4×6-inch photos using thermal-dye sublimination technology, so colors come out vibrant, and the laminated surface holds up against water, scratches and fading over time. It even connects directly from your phone via hotspot. The full package comes with 100 sheets of photo paper and three color cartridges.

The Soundcore Nebula P1 is basically a theatre-in-a-box you can carry by a handle. The coolest part is the detachable speaker, which you can easily move around the room so the sound feels like it’s coming from everywhere. It’s super bright and clear with clear visuals, thanks to its 650 ANSI Lumens and 1080p Full HD resolution. 

It even has a built-in stand that tilts, so you can point the movie at any wall or even the ceiling without propping it up on books. It comes with Google TV built right in, so all your favorite apps like Netflix are ready to go the second you plug it in. It’s usually $799, but you can snag it for $639 right now, all thanks to the Amazon Spring Sale.

This coffee grinder is grounds for an upgrade (see what I did there?)

By Sneha Iyer

aromaster-coffee-grinder-spring-sale
Aromaster/CNET

A good coffee grinder makes a noticeable difference in how your coffee tastes, and the Aromaster is one worth considering if you’ve been making do with pre-ground. It covers 48 grind settings from fine espresso to coarse French press. The built-in timer lets you control exactly how you’re grinding. 

The large chamber handles enough beans for multiple cups at once, which is handy if you’re not the only coffee drinker around. It’s also pretty low-effort to live with. There’s a built-in brush and a removable burr when it needs a cleanup — just make sure everything is dry before putting it back together. It retails for $133, but you can get it for $80 if you hurry

There is only a 10% chance this robo vac is a murderbot

By James Bricknell

A black robot vac with an arm on a purple background
Roborock

With just a 30% chance of the Roborock Saros becoming your robot overlord, having one in your home would be an advantage. Our resident vacuum expert, and totally not three robot vacs in a trench coat, Ajay Kumar, tested it out and found the claw helpful for moving clothes around. Of course, that’s just what a robot would say… 

“One of my biggest pain points in keeping things clean is spending time decluttering before I can bust out my cordless vacuum,” Ajay said. “Having a robot do it for me would be a huge time saver.”

All that being said, robot vacs of this quality are hard to find, and when something this new goes on sale, it’s hard not to take notice. The 50% chance of it taking over seems like a fair trade for a $1,300 (35% off the original price). It’s only a 75% chance after all.

And so, the end is near…

By James Bricknell

… it’s time to take our final curtain. Well, not quite, but the Spring Sale is coming to an end today, and that means so is this live-tracking behemoth we’ve worked on all week. Everyone has got a kick out of filtering through the noise to bring you products we’ve actually bought, or used, or just think is super cool.

And we’re not done yet! It may be the last day, but that doesn’t mean we’re slowing down the search. We will keep on finding you great deals as long as there are deals to be had.

A big boombox can certainly be fun, but this little Bluetooth speaker is way easier to travel with. The JBL Clip 5 weighs less than a pound and can clip onto your bag for easy transport. Don’t let its compact design fool you — this tiny speaker packs a real punch. It’s got excellent sound quality and can get plenty loud. Snag one for yourself on sale now at $60, a 25% discount on its $80 list price.

This wallet tracker is my new best friend

The SwitchBot wallet tracker keeps my sanity in check.

SwitchBot/CNET

I have a habit of misplacing my wallet — a lot. So I bought this SwitchBot wallet tracker the last time it was on sale, and now it’s back down to a mere $11. This thing has been life-changing. It easily slips into my wallet without adding any bulk, and it’s compatible with Apple Find My network, so I never lose track of my wallet. The slight downside is that the battery isn’t replaceable — though it does last for several years, and at this price, that’s hardly a deal-breaker.

Want a convenient and versatile bag that’s small enough to use as your carry-on? The Dinictis travel backpack is a durable option that can easily hold up to 22 pounds, and it’s down to just $20 right now. 

CNET contributor Pamela Vachon swears by this travel backpack. “My bag has to be spacious enough to hold everything I need for my trip, yet light enough to easily hoist into the overhead bin. That’s why the Dinictis travel backpack has earned a permanent spot as my ultimate travel sidekick.”

Just buy the Bluey DVDs. Just do it

By Russell Holly

Even if I didn’t have kids, I’d be a big fan of Bluey.

Russell Holly/CNET

There are a lot of great DVD sales happening right now, especially if you’re looking to get yourself some Blu-rays on the cheap, but I want to put a specific highlight on seasons 1-3 of the globally popular kids’ show Bluey. This set is currently available for $23, which is a massive discount and, for a lot of folks, basically the same thing as paying for a month of Disney Plus.

You may be asking why you should buy physical copies of Bluey when it’s available on a streaming service you’re already paying for. First, Bluey isn’t actually a Disney product, so it’s only guaranteed to be available on its streaming service for the immediate future. Second, this particular box set has some really fun extras that kids are going to love and having those DVDs on hand if the Wi-Fi goes out is generally a great idea if you have young kids. 

Just buy the DVDs. You will be much happier if you have them and suddenly need them than you will if the alternative happens.

If you’re running low on counter space in your kitchen, the Bella Slim air fryer will fit right in. It’s a compact air fryer with a slim profile to squeeze into tight kitchen spaces like my little apartment kitchen. Despite its smaller design, it still holds a lot. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the generous servings of frozen french fries, Impossible nuggets and other snacks I’ve been able to heat up in this air fryer. It heats evenly and its ceramic nonstick coating makes cleaning super easy. 

Snag the 6-quart Bella Slim air fryer on sale now for 25% off in select colors. The smaller 4-quart version is also discounted, though pricing varies by size and color selection.

These Sennheiser wireless headphones are one of our favorite over-ear headphones on the market, and right now you can get them for $200, a whopping 56% savings on their usual $450 price. 

CNET’s audio expert David Carnoy shared that the Momentum 4 headphones “sound excellent, with the requisite well-defined, punchy bass, relatively wide soundstage and smooth treble that brings out some of the finer details in well-recorded tracks.” The headphones also have a lengthy 60-hour battery life, so you don’t have to worry about plugging them in every night. 

Grab an extra set of chargers

By Adrian Marlow

Baseus/CNET

New products often do not even include chargers in the box anymore, which can be a pain. This two-pack of 45-watt Baseus GaN USB-C charging blocks and USB-C cables is now just $24 — and they work with newer iPhones and Android devices, including tablets, headphones and laptops. 

That’s a 20% discount on its usual price and drops these charger and cable bundles to just $12 each. According to Baseus, a 30-minute rapid charge will boost the battery of an iPhone 17 Pro to 69% or an iPad Pro to 36%. We all have a lot of electronics, and it’s nice to have an extra charger or two handy when you need to charge multiple devices at once. 

These pruning shears have lasted me two decades

By Amber Guetebier

A pair of red-handled pruning shears displayed against a geometric emerald background

If you buy one gardening tool this spring, let it be Felco pruning shears.

Felco/CNET

As an active gardener, amateur horticulturalist and a former landscaper, I can tell you few tools are as vital in my arsenal as quality pruning shears. I have had Felco pruning shears for years — my most recent pair are nearly 20 years old. So while they may be pricey to start out compared to other brands, I can attest they are worth every penny. 

And right now, during the Amazon Spring Sale, you can pick up a pair at a discount. The standard Felco 2, which fits most hand sizes, lists for $86 — but you can pick up a pair for $72 right now. That’s a decent $14 discount. If you have smaller hands as I do, consider the Felco 6. They’re also down to $72, an $8 discount on the standard list price. While these aren’t exactly cheap even on sale, if you want a workhorse at your side for all your gardening tasks, they are worth the splurge.

Take half off my No. 1 travel essential

CNET

Headphones on a long flight, or any flight for that matter, are a nonnegotiable. But sometimes wearing headphones can hurt my head or my ears, especially on a long journey. I’m scared of dropping my AirPods on the plane and losing them — I’ve seen it happen more than once. That’s why I love these Anker P20i earbuds. The sound quality is great, and they’re comfortable in my ears. You get up to 30 hours of listening on one charge, so you’re set for the whole flight. 

Normally, $40 you can take an impressive 50% off these buds right now. This deal is valid on the black, blue or white color options. That drops the earbuds down to a record low of $20. 

One of our favorite Bluetooth speakers is only $90

The Amazon Echo Spot is a great recommendation from Max, but I’ve found another speaker deal worth considering. The Anker Soundcore Boom 2 earned a spot on our best Bluetooth speakers of 2026 list as the top value pick, and it just got even cheaper with a $50 discount

It’s lightweight and waterproof, so it’s an excellent choice for pool days or outdoor gatherings during the warm months ahead. Plus, it offers impressive sound quality to really get the party going. Grab it on sale now for under $100.

My go-to energy drink is 20% off right now

Bloom/CNET

Sometimes I don’t want to make a cup of coffee in the middle of the day to get past the afternoon slump. I love a fun drink, and Bloom’s energy drinks are exactly that. I love that there’s no sugar and only 10 calories per can. There are also no artificial flavors or colors, which I always look for. My favorite is the crisp apple flavor. It tastes exactly like the perfect apple, right from the tree. 

Normally $25 for 12 cans, you can take 20% off right now. That brings the price down to $20 for 12 cans. Tons of flavors are discounted, even the variety pack.

The hammock you didn’t know you needed

The joy of a hammock is right outside your door.

Easyfun/CNET

Since I live somewhere with long, grueling winters and brief, muddy springs, when the warm weather hits, the entire state of Minnesota is suddenly outside as much as possible. Though my deck has a comfy conversation set and my garden has a couple of zero-gravity chairs for stargazing or sunbathing, last year I added a hammock to the mix, and I had no idea how badly I needed one. 

I purchased this Everyfun hammock, which also happens to be discounted during the Big Spring Sale at Amazon right now. Instead of $116, you’ll pay $90. That’s if you opt for the colorful pattern I did — the basic beige stripe is down to only $80. 

It’s a freestanding hammock: no trees or posts necessary. And the assembly was fairly easy: I was able to do it myself in about an hour. It also comes apart for winter storage. The hammock feels sturdy and supportive, particularly nice after a long day of gardening or being hunched over the computer. Grab a book and it makes you feel like you’re on vacation in your own yard.

Google’s Pixel 9A is the best phone deal right now

By Mike Sorrentino

The Google Pixel 9A

Google’s Pixel 9A is at exactly the right price during the Amazon spring sale.

James Martin/CNET

Google’s Pixel 9A is one of the best value phones right now, especially now that it’s discounted to $399 for Amazon’s Spring Sale. Even though the phone is nearly a year old, it’s largely identical to the slightly more refined Pixel 10A that has technically replaced it. I did like the Pixel 10A when I reviewed it, appreciating its compatibility with Apple’s AirDrop for sending photos and files. But when the Pixel 9A is $100 less for a similar design, cameras and performance, you’re much better off saving that money.

That price is for the 128GB model, but if you want double the storage, the 256GB Pixel 9A is down to just $480. Just note that only select colors are currently discounted.

This is the first time this grill is discounted this hard

Two grill posts? You lucky people.

Not everyone has room for a griddle and grill, and not everyone wants to use just gas or just charcoal. The Chargrill 3-in-1 is a brilliant choice for just about anyone, for that matter.

It comes with two different tops, a grill rack for charbroiling and a hot griddle plate for cooking smash burgers and burritos. It also lets you use propane or charcoal, so if you feel like a quick grill, you can fire up the gas, or you can go more traditional if you have a little longer to wait.

The Chargrill 3-in-1 is a whopping 54% off today, making it the lowest price it’s ever been at $150. If this doesn’t work for you, check out some of the other grill deals available now.

BBQ gear your dad actually wants

Best Grill Deals Last Chance
CNET

If your dad is anything like mine, he takes his grilling very seriously. And if you’re anything like me, you have absolutely no idea what all that entails, other than the food tastes unbelievably good and he seems to be having a nice time.

Do yourself a favor and pick up one of these high-tech meat thermometers from Amazon today to keep in your back pocket for Father’s Day. CNET’s kitchen tech experts (read: people who don’t set off their smoke detectors weekly) have rounded up all the best grill and grilling deals. But hurry — it won’t be long before the discounts go up in smoke.

By Sneha Iyer

Hisense

If you’ve been eyeing Samsung’s Frame TV but can’t quite stomach the price, the Hisense S7N CanvasTV is worth a look. The Frame TV is on sale too, but this one is cheaper and delivers a very similar experience. The 65-inch is down to $888, $212 off its usual price. 

When you’re not watching, it flips into art mode with a high-matte, glare-resistant display. The 4K OLED panel delivers good picture quality. It mounts flush against the wall, and the magnetic frames are swappable whenever you want a change. Google TV keeps all your streaming apps neatly organized.

This is a lightning deal, so it may not be around for long. I just grabbed this magnetic charging dock for my Meta AI glasses. Mainly because I like to have my tech out on display, but also because it means I don’t have to take the glasses out of the box every time. I can just grab and go.

It’s 20% off today, down to $34.

Get rid of that stuffy nose and musty smell

By Priya Tiwari

Levoit

Waking up with a stuffy nose or dealing with that weird smell is the worst, especially in a small 1BHK apartment where the air just feels heavy. This Core Mini-P is a solid little fix for that; it’s AHAM verified and small enough to sit right on a desk or a nightstand. Its three-in-one filter collects everything from dust and pet dander to smoke and allergens. 

It also comes with a small aroma pad, where you can use essential oils and let the fragrance do its magic. You can grab it for $40 right now, $10 off its usual $50 price. I mean, at this price, this is a pretty good deal to get fresh air and breathe properly.

Pop off in style with this premium gaming headset

SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro headset in white
StealSeries/CNET

Whether you’re owning n00bs in Marathon or taking in the sights in Crimson Desert, it really does help when you can hear what’s going on around you. Few are better at helping you do that than the SteelSeries Acrtis Nova Pro, a premium headset with tons of top-tier features. And you can add one to your setup today with a massive $80 discount in your choice of black or white.

This Big Spring Sale deal isn’t likely to be around for too much longer, and at $300, this headset deal isn’t to be ignored. It’s wireless and comes with two swappable batteries, so you’ll never have to wait for one to charge. Advanced features include active noise cancellation and support for simultaneous Bluetooth and built-in wireless connections. Just make sure you order the right one for your setup — only the Xbox version will work with Microsoft’s consoles, but that model will also work with all other devices. And no, I’m not sure why it makes two versions either.

Alexa, but make it kid mode

A smart speaker for the house was never supposed to make the cut. The idea of tiny humans yelling at tech all day already felt like enough chaos for one home. But the Echo Dot Kids kinda ate. It’s basically a mini hype buddy that tells stories, answers random “why is the moon following me?” questions, and plays their favorite songs on repeat without you losing it. 

It’s sitting at $40 instead of $60, and with that extra 20% trade-in discount, it’s basically begging to be adopted. Now I’m like, OK, wait… this is actually smart parenting. It keeps kids busy with jokes, audiobooks and homework help, while the parental controls keep everything squeaky clean. It’s giving fun, but supervised, like a babysitter who actually follows the rules.

The clock’s ticking on this Apple smartwatch deal

By Oliver Haslam

Apple/CNET

The Apple Watch is the go-to smartwatch for iPhone owners, and it’s easy to see why. It looks great, has a stunning display and is backed by an App Store full of apps. But time is definitely running out on your chance to pick up the latest Apple Watch Series 11 with a stellar $100 discount.

That means you can snag the 42mm GPS model with your choice of aluminium case for just $299. Prefer your smartwatches to be a little on the larger side? The 46mm model is currently $350, a slightly smaller $80 discount. Both models feature an always-on display and are packed with health and fitness features. Not to mention some potentially life-saving offerings like fall and crash detection.

Your security cam’s new favorite snack is sunlight

Most “set it and forget it” home upgrades end up being way more fiddly than advertised, but adding a solar panel to your smart security camera can actually remove one regular hassle from your life. This Ring solar panel is ideal for those already in that ecosystem with support for several of its outdoor camera models. 

With a deal price of $48, down from the usual $60, it’s a solid quality of life upgrade for relatively little money. Once mounted, it just clips in, gobbles up sunlight and keeps your Ring camera powered with way less effort on your part. No more ladder climbs or battery anxiety.

Baseus 45w chargers in black

Sure, your new phone doesn’t come with a charger in the box anymore, but who cares when deals like this are available? You can pick up not one but two Baseus 45-watt USB-C chargers and cables for just $24 right now, and that’s not all. It gets even better when you realize you can choose between black and white when ordering as well.

These little chargers are perfect for powering phones, tablets and even some thin and light laptops like Apple’s new M5 MacBook Air and MacBook Neo. The included cables aren’t the longest at 3.3 feet, but they’ll get the job done in the majority of cases. And at this price, we’d really be nitpicking if we asked for longer ones.

Stop guessing what that noise was

By Priya Tiwari

One of the biggest headaches with security is missing the details when it really matters, like those tricky blind spots around the house. The new Ring Outdoor Cam Plus helps solve this by giving you a wide field of view in 2K video, and it can be mounted inside or outside your home so you can capture the action wherever you need it most. Plus, its Low-Light Sight feature gives you full-color video even when natural light is at a minimum. Available wireless or wired, it’s usually $100 but is currently a steal at just $60, making for a simple and affordable home security upgrade.

These Beats earbuds have never been cheaper

Beats makes some of our favorite wireless earbuds, and it’s definitely responsible for some of the most colorful. The Beats Powerbeats Fit are no exception, and they’re yours today for an all-time low price of just $170. And yes, that even includes the dazzling orange color.

Even if you pick one of the more subdued colors, you can look forward to 30 hours of battery life, sweat and water resistance and active noise cancellation. That’s a big one, and it means the only grunting you hear down at the gym is your own. These things might be worth the price of admission for that alone.

5 books to add to your library this spring

By Amber Guetebier

A collection of 5 books including Gathering Moss, Devotions, Kin. My Favorite Flowers, and Elderflora set against an abstract purple and blue background

Gardens, poetry and kinship await you this spring.

CNET

As a self-defined plant nerd, I read and write about plants whenever I can. I’m embarking on a new plant book project and recently picked up three books for “research.” Gathering Moss: A Natural and Cultural History of Moss by Robin Wall Kimmerer, an Indigenous writer, scientist and naturalist, wowed me with her book Braiding Sweetgrass, so I dove into her previous works, including this one. As luck would have it, it’s also on sale: down to $12 from the usual $19 retail price. 

I’m also sinking my teeth into Jared Farmer’s Elderflora: A Modern History of Ancient Trees, which spans everything from contained horticultural traditions to the wild. The paperback version is $15, saving you $7.

And finally, I scooped up My Favorite Flowers: Writers and Gardeners on the Plants They Love, edited and introduced by Jamaica Kincaid. I’m a huge fan of Kincaid’s writing, so finding a book she compiled that involved gardening was a thrill for me. Essays include Kincaid, Michael Pollan, Maxine Kumin and more. Grab your own copy for $13, which is $7 off. 

I was chatting about books with my colleague, Stephanie Barnes, and asked her what she’d recommend for you, dear readers, to take advantage of during the Big Spring Sale. Here’s what she said: 

“Mary Oliver’s Devotions has been a part of my daily devotion for many years. Oliver’s words keep me grounded and remind me of the miraculous ways of nature. It’s currently just $12, which is 40% off its regular price. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to step into reading more poetry.

“Another one I recommend is Kin from Tayari Jones. This is a 2026 release, and it’s already 30% off, bringing the price down to $22. You absolutely can’t go wrong with Jones’ storytelling.”

Save $99 on a pair of Apple AirPods Max

Apple/CNET

Apple’s AirPods Max 2 are available for preorder now with a release slated for early April. That makes now an excellent time to nab the AirPods Max at a massive discount during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale. Though still pricey, the $99 price cut brings them down to $450. Keep in mind that the discount applies to the orange and starlight colors. 

These headphones are comfortable, provide noise cancellation and offer superb sound. In a review that asked whether these headphones were worth it 5 years after their release in 2020, CNET’s David Carnoy says, “The AirPods Max still feature very good noise canceling as well as excellent build and sound quality, and they remain on my lists of best headphones overall and best noise-canceling headphones.”

Having a portable power generator on hand for power outages is a good idea, and they’re also great for camping trips. Whether you’re looking to power up the campsite or keep your key devices and appliances running during an outage, this Anker Solix C1000 power station can help. The 2,000-watt power station can power up to 10 devices at once, and you can get it on sale now for $429. That’s a 46% discount on its usual $799 price tag.

Wake up peacefully with a sunrise alarm clock

Jall/CNET

Switching over to a sunrise alarm clock was a real gamechanger for my morning routine. Waking up with a calming, gradual light instead of the harsh sound of my iPhone alarm has helped me start my days in a more relaxed, positive mood. While I’m partial to our top sunrise alarm clock of 2026, the Hatch Restore, it is very pricey. 

If you’re looking for the benefits of a sunrise alarm without the Hatch’s $170 price tag, try our favorite budget pick. The Jall Wake Up Light is already a more affordable option at $53, but right now you can snag it on sale for $31. You can choose from seven colors and seven natural sounds to wake up to. It also works well as a night light.

The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max earned the title of the fastest streaming device in our list of the best streaming devices of 2026 and, right now, you can get it for just $35. This high-powered streaming stick usually retails for $60, so this is a pretty major price cut. In fact, it’s the same price cut we saw during Black Friday last year. 

The Fire TV Stick 4K Max loads streaming apps almost immediately and offers an incredibly smooth browsing and streaming experience. You can also use it to play Xbox games with no console required, and to display art on your TV with the Fire TV Ambient Experience.

By Kaylyn McKenna

The weather is already heating up. In fact, I’ve been blasting the AC all week thanks to the heat wave that hit California. If you want to keep your home cool while minimizing energy usage and electricity costs, it’s a good time to invest in a smart thermostat. The Google Nest thermostat is on sale for $90 right now, and it can help you regulate your energy usage this spring and summer. 

You can program it to fit your schedule, and the thermostat will turn the heat or AC down when you’re gone during the day and then adjust back to your desired temperature when its time for you to return. You can also control the thermostat from your smartphone and get alerts if something is off.

The Google Pixel 10 Pro with 128GB just dropped to $749, that’s a $250 savings on its usual $999 price tag. If you need more storage, the 256GB model is on sale for $849.

The phone is built for durability with an aluminum body and a screen constructed with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2. 

CNET’s David Lumb called it a standout for smartphone games, thanks to its “sharp OLED display and high-performance specs.” It also has an upgraded Google Tensor G5 chip for smooth processing. Snag the Pixel 10 Pro on sale now while you can to upgrade your phone.

Today only, you can snag the Shark PowerDetect ThermaCharged NeverTouch Pro, a two-in-one robot vacuum and mop, for $700. That’s a whopping $600 discount on its typical $1,300 list price. This multifunctional smart cleaner makes it easy to keep your floors clean with its self-emptying, self-refilling and self-cleaning capabilities.

The base station can hold up to 60 days’ worth of debris and up to 30 days of fluid for the mop. It also has an impressive 3-hour battery, so it can clean up your whole home on a single charge, and it’ll simply navigate back to the home base to charge itself when the power does get low. But this deal only lasts for one day, so don’t delay.

Our friends over at ZDNET found this amazing deal at Best Buy for a WD Black 4TB solid-state drive. Memory and storage in general are at a premium right now (thanks, AI), so any chance you have to get a discount is worth your time. It’s down to just $600 in the Spring Sale.

ZDNET’s Taylor Clemens said, “Whether the AI bubble has finally popped or Best Buy is simply trying to move stock, a 65% discount on a 4TB SSD is a deal too tempting to pass up.” I have to agree, it’s a great SSD for gaming and storage in general.

The cure for your caffeine addiction

By Dhruv Bhutani

keurig-k-mini.png

If you’re anything like me, you probably crave a great cup of coffee first thing in the morning. But I don’t have the patience to go through the process of grinding beans, focusing on extraction and bean-to-cup ratios when I’m just waking up from deep sleep. That’s where the Keurig K-Mini steps in. And at just $50 as part of the Spring Sale, there’s simply no excuse not to add one to your coffee setup. 

The Keurig K-Mini is tiny at just 5 inches wide, which means it won’t take up too much shelf space. Just add water, drop in a pod, hit a button, and within minutes you’ve got a steaming cup of fresh coffee. That’s it. At half off, it’s the simplest trick to help you with your morning procrastination.

Keep your couch and car dust-free with Black & Decker Dustbuster hand vacuum, now down to $54, from its list price of $80. It features a powerful 20-volt max lithium-ion battery that delivers strong suction wherever you need it. It also comes with a crevice tool and flip-up brush, letting you clean wherever your pets or kids play. 

Not only that, but this portable vacuum is lightweight, rechargeable, and perfect for quick cleanups in your home and vehicle. The battery lasts around 15 continuous minutes, so you can “enjoy” uninterrupted cleaning and handle everyday messes without frequent recharging.

Automatic watches are my current obsession

By James Bricknell

Bulova/CNET

I know these watches aren’t high-tech, but ever since I got my Tag Heuer, I’ve been obsessed with automatic watches. For those who don’t know, an automatic watch is a mechanical watch that winds itself as you move. They are normally a little less accurate than a quartz movement, but, in my humble opinion, just cooler.

This one from Bulova is one of the few decent makes you can buy on Amazon and is currently down to $290 for the Spring Sale. Anytime you can get an automatic Bulova for under $300 is a good day. This one comes with three nice complications: the heartbeat skeleton that shows the inner movement, the sub-second dial, and the 24-hour dial. All of those combine to make a really beautiful watch for under $300. 

Hear music the way it was recorded

By Dhruv Bhutani

sennheiser-hd560-s.png

I’m an avid audiophile, always on the lookout for the next upgrade. Most headphones tend to smooth things over, boost bass or have too much treble, exaggerating the sound. The Sennheiser HD560S is the exact opposite. These open-back, reference-grade headphones aim for pinpoint accuracy. They’re designed to be flat and analytical, so you hear everything exactly the way it was recorded. 

Be it clean vocals or deep, true-to-recording bass, the open-back design gives the headphones a wide, almost speaker-like soundstage. The headphones are almost half off as part of the Amazon Spring Sale, making them a no-brainer. Usually priced at $275, you can snag these audiophile headphones for just $140, making this the perfect opportunity to upgrade your audio setup.

Warning: This keyboard may cause excessive email enthusiasm

By Priya Tiwari

I swore I didn’t need another keyboard on my desk. I already have the “it works fine” one, the backup one, and a graveyard of old clicky experiments that all promised productivity but mostly just collect dust. But then this Yunzii X98 mechanical keyboard slid in, and suddenly my standards got a glow-up. It’s got that satisfying mechanical feel, hot-swappable switches so you can remix your typing vibe whenever you want, and prelubed keys that make every press feel weirdly addictive in the best way. 

Basically, it’s giving “main character at a tech startup montage” energy, whether you’re gaming or just dramatically replying to emails. The deal price is $84, down from the OG price of $110, which feels like your desk setup politely telling you it’s time to level up without completely wrecking your wallet.

This Keurig could make your coffee scorching hot or ice cold

By Sneha Iyer

Keurig

I’m a coffee fiend. I like it hotter than the sun, and I take my sweet time drinking it. But with the weather turning into an oven lately, a cold brew situation is becoming a lot more appealing. The Keurig K-Duo does both, and it’s down to $150 right now. It brews with pods and coffee grounds, with a strong brew setting for when you need something more intense and an extra-hot mode for those who like their coffee uncomfortably warm. 

When the heat kicks in, the brew over ice feature adjusts the temperature for maximum flavor with less ice melt — so your iced coffee actually tastes like coffee and not watered-down disappointment.

The Black Friday impulse purchase I’m restocking

By Grace Cooper

Amazon/CNET

When I spotted the viral Biodance collagen masks on sale for Black Friday last year, I knew I had to treat myself. But I never expected the leave-on sheet masks would become a staple in my routine. It’s not an everyday product, since you need to leave the sheet mask on for at least three hours, but I love using one before special occasions or when I need a little at-home pampering. 

I initially thought the mask that starts milky white and turns clear on your skin would be a gimmick, but it truly leaves my skin glassy and glowy. Right now, I can save a dollar on each mask in the four-pack at Amazon’s Spring Sale, making it a great time to restock this unexpected find.

The Pixel Watch 3 is at a record-low price

The Google Pixel Watch 3 just hit a record-low of $180 on Amazon, and for people with Android phones who’ve been on the fence about a smartwatch upgrade, the timing couldn’t be better. The 45mm model is what’s on sale, and while the Pixel 4 has taken its place at the top of our Android smartwatch rankings, the Watch 3 hasn’t lost much ground. The health and fitness tracking is still impressive, and at $180, it’s a significantly easier pill to swallow than the Pixel Watch 4’s price tag.

The PowerA wired stereo cute headset is down to $21, which is $19 off its original price of $40. This ultra-lightweight headset works with any console or gaming platform you own, including the Nintendo Switch 2, by plugging it into the 3.5mm jack. It also has a boom mic to chat with friends while playing online. 

Plus, you can easily adjust the headset volume via the volume level slider or press the mute button to silence your mic. It comes in five variants; they’re all discounted, including my favorite — the incredibly pink Kirby.

Save 20% on my favorite sheet set

Brooklinen Luxe Sateen sheets in cream with a purple background
Brooklinen/CNET

I love my Brooklinen sheets. They’re soft, they’re breathable, and they look great. In fact, I have this exact sheet set on my bed right now. However, these premium sheets do come with a premium price tag, so it’s best to buy them while they’re on sale. 

At Amazon’s Spring Sale you can get this four-piece Brooklinen Luxe sateen sheet set for 20% off in most sizes and colors. The set includes a fitted sheet, a flat sheet and two pillow cases. Along with earning a spot on my bed, these sheets also nabbed a spot on our best sheets of 2026 list as our favorite sateen sheets.

Half off the only bag I travel with

By Grace Cooper

Whether you’re jetting off for a summer vacation or doing a long commute into the city, the Baggallini Soho Backpack is always by my side (or back). It has a 16-inch padded laptop slot, two water bottle holders and a luggage sleeve for sliding over suitcase handles. The best part is the top folds down to open completely, so you can see everything inside — no more rummaging for your earbuds or charger.

The bag is a compliment magnet, thanks to its faux-leather details and sleek, water-resistant exterior. And you can get it for just shy of 50% off right now (down to $75).

Day 5 (yes, five) of the Spring Sale is here

By James Bricknell

Good morning, and welcome to Sunday. Today marks the fifth day of Amazon’s Spring Sale, and the deals just keep on coming. We’re here, and tracking all the deals around the internet to make sure these last few days are still offering as deep a discount as the first four did.

My kid lost his AirPods (twice) so I replaced them with these $20 buds

By Amber Guetebier

Anker/CNET

I’m not here to argue that the Anker Soundcore P20i earbuds are going to give you the same listening experience as the AirPods 4. I’m here to say, as the mother of a teenager, I splurged on the AirPods 4 when they were on sale during the holidays last year, and as amazing as these are, they are not disposable. He was thrilled, he loved them, he took them everywhere… and then he lost them. 

Though we were able to track them down the first time, it wasn’t long before they went missing again. That’s when I invested in the Soundcore P20i earbuds — they are normally $40 but frequently down to $20 — which is the case during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale. I honestly think of them as “backup” earbuds. This time I bought two. Because — ahem — I also misplace my earbuds frequently. I find they offer decent sound and call quality, and make a great option for travel.

This budget-friendly smart speaker is even better at 38% off

Smart speakers can add a lot of convenience to your day-to-day routines, and right now, you can grab the best budget model of 2026 for even less. The Amazon Echo Spot impressed our reviewers with its built-in display and decent sound for the size, and it’s an even better value now that you can pick one up for $30 off. That knocks the price down to $50, just $5 more than the all-time low. 

Our favorite protein shake is 40% off

Amber has you covered with the hydration, but are you getting enough protein? An easy way to hit those protein goals is by picking up a good shake. Right now, you can grab a 12-pack of Premier Protein shakes for just $16.

Premier Protein offers a host of flavors, but this white chocolate raspberry from the Indulgence line is delicious and packs 30 grams of protein. Premier Protein also landed a spot on our list of best protein shakes as the top overall whey-based shake. 

My go-to chef’s knife just dropped by $50

The right knife can make a huge difference, and right now you can grab a top-rated one without breaking the bank with a $50 discount. The Global chef’s knife is my go-to workhorse, and I use it almost daily for meat, veggies, fish and just about anything else I need sliced, chopped or minced. This 40th-anniversary edition also has a fluted blade, which helps prevent ingredients from sticking to the knife. 

Dehydration is real, but these can help

By Amber Guetebier

Liquid IV Hydration Multiplier variety pack electrolyte drink supplement displayed against a vibrant blue and pink backgrouund

Sometimes you just need a little help to get you hydrated. 

Liquid IV

I’m not one for adding flavor to my water too often, but there are those days when I just wake up feeling especially dehydrated. You know the feeling: dry mouth and throat, a headache threatening to last and even dry skin. Whether it’s from cranking the heat all winter, a rigorous workout or maybe just a long night out, dehydration is common.

It’s times like these that I turn to Liquid IV Hydration Multiplier. Like I said, I don’t love adding things to my water, but these really do the trick. My firefighter brother turned me on to these little powdered electrolyte packets a couple of summers ago, and now I always keep a few with me, especially when I travel. They taste great and are packed with electrolytes and vitamins. On a recent trip to the Rocky Mountains, Liquid IV helped me get adjusted to the elevation without losing steam for my adventures. 

The only real issue with Liquid IV is its high price. But right now, thanks to Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, you can pick up a pack of 16 individual servings for $21. That’s a 25% discount and saves you $7. 

Turn your living room into an art gallery with Samsung’s The Frame Pro smart TV

By Kaylyn McKenna

Samsung/CNET

This stylish smart TV can double as wall art when you’re not streaming shows or movies. The Frame Pro is an upgraded version of Samsung’s trendy The Frame smart TV. Its ultra-slim design means you can mount it flush to the wall. It has a picture frame design, and can display digital art on its screen when you’re not watching TV. You can choose from a curated collection of art images or upload your own.

Right now, you can get the 65-inch Frame Pro for $1,598, a $500 discount off its $2,098 list price. There are deals on other sizes as well, along with the standard version of The Frame smart TV. 

Roku’s Streambar SE is an all-in-one entertainment upgrade

By Max McHone

Roku/CNET

The budget-friendly Streambar SE is a hybrid soundbar that doubles as a 4K streaming device. CNET audio expert David Carnoy was impressed by its sound, especially for the size and price. The soundbar also automatically boosts dialogue, so you don’t need subtitles to understand what’s happening. Plus, it features Bluetooth connectivity for easy wireless streaming. It’s about 4 inches smaller than the full-sized counterpart and also lacks support for Dolby Atmos audio. But for those with limited space or a tight budget, it’s an excellent option — especially at more than $20 off.

Upgrade your video-call game with my favorite 4K webcam

By Palash Volvoikar

insta360-link-2

The 4K powerhouse webcam in action.

Palash Volvoikar/CNET

Finding good webcams is a hassle, but the Insta360 Link 2 is one you shouldn’t ignore. It’s made by a company that makes some of the best action cameras on the market, and that expertise shows in this webcam. It’s more timid than an action camera, but it comes with a motorized gimbal that can track you around the room quite like Apple’s Center Stage on Mac and iPhone. I find myself using my desktop more for video calls than my MacBook, and it’s mostly because of this camera. You get crisp 4K footage, and I quite like the software as well.

The Insta360 Link 2 is currently down to $160, which is an excellent price if you want to upgrade your video calls. It’s my primary camera for my desktop, and I heavily recommend it. We tested and loved the original first-gen model, but called it too costly at $300. This second-gen model is almost half that price with this discount and much better than the original, so it seems like a no-brainer.

Save $100 on future good hair days

By Aashna Gheewalla

Shark/CNET

The Shark FlexStyle not only functions as a hair dryer but as a styler, too, so you can give yourself a blowout and even curls. It uses air technology and has various heat settings to help prevent heat damage, plus a cool setting to lock the hairstyle in. It even comes with a carrying case so you can take it with you anywhere. 

It’s $100 off right now, which brings it down to $300. That’s a pretty good discount of 25% on the original price.

You can now preorder the regular and the deluxe versions of Stranger Things: The Complete Series. You’ll have to wait a while, as it won’t be released until the end of July, but it has a ton of extras like interviews with the cast and crew and behind-the-scenes featurettes. The deluxe version has a ton of physical goodies thrown in, too. It’s worth grabbing now at almost $100 off, and if the price does happen to drop further before the release date, you’ll pay the cheapest price with Amazon’s preorder guarantee. 

Working on your fitness? We love the Fitbit Charge 6

By Anna Gragert

Perfect for over 40 types of exercise, the Fitbit Charge 6 is CNET’s favorite fitness tracker overall.

Anna Gragert/CNET

CNET’s award for the best fitness tracker overall goes to the Fitbit Charge 6. We like that it focuses on being a fitness tracker, supporting over 40 types of exercise and tracking your steps, heart rate, VO2 max and calories burned. Plus, it has other handy health features, like sleep and stress scores, menstrual health tracking, in-app blood glucose tracking, built-in GPS for runners and water resistance up to 50 meters for swimmers. 

Aside from health and fitness, the Charge 6 offers notifications for calls, texts and smartphone apps, Google Maps for directions and Google Wallet for payments.

At full price, the Fitbit Charge 6 is $160, but you can now get it for $120 with a six-month premium membership included. The latter is normally $10 per month or $80 per year, saving you an additional chunk of change. 

A budget smartphone that’s now $70 cheaper

By Zainab Falak

TCL/CNET

The TCL 60 XE NxtPaper smartphone delivers more than you’d expect from a budget phone. You can switch between four display modes based on what you’re doing. Eye Care Assistant automatically adjusts brightness according to your surroundings, and even reminds you to take a break when you’ve been on your screen for too long. 

There’s built-in AI to help you get more done throughout the day. Plus, the 5,010 mAh battery keeps your phone running for a good while, which makes it ideal for long days on the go. You can pick it up for just $180 today, after a nice 28% discount.

OnePlus Buds are a great value

By Sneha Iyer

OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro in green against a purple gradient background
OnePlus/CNET

Earbuds are nonnegotiable for me, and even when I’m not playing music, I’ll put them in just to dull the noise around me. Six months ago, I grabbed the OnePlus Nord Buds 3 while they were on sale. No longer the latest or greatest model, they fit perfectly with my other OnePlus devices, the noise cancellation is solid for the price, and I can easily go two to three days between charges.

The Nord Buds 3 are harder to find now, but the step-up Nord Buds 3 Pro are on sale for $40 right now, which is just half the usual price. They’re not drastically different, but you do get a longer battery life and a higher noise-cancellation frequency, which makes this an easy recommendation from me.

This is how I’m getting my steps in

Sperax walking pad against a pink and yellow gradient background
Sperax/CNET

2026 is the year I’ve decided to take my fitness seriously. My daily yoga sessions have been wonderful but, let’s be honest, that alone isn’t cutting it. And as a self-confessed homebody, voluntarily stepping outside for a walk isn’t exactly high on my list. A walking pad was the obvious solution.

This Sperax walking pad is a great option that fits into small spaces like under your desk while working from home. It even has a 10% incline mode for when you want a challenge. My go-to tip for hitting your step goals: hop on during calls or when watching your favorite show. Time flies and, before you know it, you’ve hit your target without really trying. It’s on sale now for $150.

The top smartwatch of 2026 is back down to a record-low price

Apple/CNET

The Apple Watch Series 11 is Apple’s latest flagship wearable and CNET’s top pick for the best smartwatch of 2026. It wowed our reviewers with its impressive 24-hour battery life and improved sleep tracking, and it adds some new features like 5G support and alerts for high blood pressure. Plus, this deal takes it back down to an all-time low price, making it a pretty incredible value. Most configurations are $100 off right now, including models with cellular connectivity.

We also want to steer you away from bad products

By Jeff Carlson

Plastic cutting boards are cheap and light but wooden boards are more sanitary and look nicer too. 

David Watsky/CNET

One of the main reasons CNET writers find deals during events like Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is to make sure you’re getting quality, recommended items. And that means looking past some popular items that seem attractive at first, but actually aren’t a good idea.

For example, Amazon has several titanium cutting boards in its Home and Kitchen department. They’re shiny and sturdy… and terrible for your knives. Eric Rowse, lead chef-instructor at the Institute of Culinary Education in Los Angeles, calls out boards that aren’t wood or poly in David Watsky’s article about the 20 most overhyped kitchen gadgets.

Instead, check out our recommendations for the best cutting boards that will keep your knives in good shape. Although our top pick isn’t in Amazon’s sale, our list can help you make a smart choice among those that are if you’re looking to buy today — like this Teakhaus model, which is marked down to $99

Adventure footage never quite looks the way you remember it, until you have the right camera. The Insta360 X5 Essentials bundle is $100 off, down to $560 right now and it comes loaded with everything you need straight out of the box – extra battery, carry case, fast charge case, selfie stick and lens guards included. 

It shoots immersive 360 degree video with improved clarity and dynamic range, and the triple AI chip keeps footage sharp even in low light. Since it captures everything around you at once, you can go back and reframe moments you didn’t even know you caught.

The LED mask I use when multitasking is $400 off

By Anna Gragert

The Illumina Face Mask from iRestore on a warm wood surface.

The iRestore LED mask is a CNET favorite thanks to its multitasking capabilities. 

Anna Gragert/CNET

When I tested the iRestore Illumina Face Mask for CNET’s list of the best LED face masks, I was impressed by how comfortable it is and, thanks to its dual straps that keep it secure on your face, how effortless it is to use, whether I’m working, cooking or reading on the couch. That’s why I deemed it the best LED mask for multitasking.

With 360 LEDs that emit red, infrared and blue wavelengths, the Illumina was designed to reduce dark spots and fine lines, calm blemishes and irritation, and improve the tone, texture and radiance of your skin. With consistent use, iRestore states that you should see results in about six weeks. 

Usually priced at $799, the Illumina Face Mask is now $399, saving you a whopping $400. If you’ve been looking for an amazing LED face mask you can easily wear around the house, now is the time to strike.

There’s more to coffee (deals) than just espresso

By Jeff Carlson

An 8-cup pour over coffee maker sits on a small coffee scale.

This 8-cup pour over carafe fits fine on the MHW-3Bomber Coffee Scale Mini 2.0.

Jeff Carlson/CNET

When you ask a bunch of CNET writers and editors to look for Amazon deals, you just know we’ll be hitting the coffee sections first. CNET’s caffeine-fueled folks have already spotlighted the Breville Barista Express, which is $100 off and still holds the title of CNET’s best espresso machine overall, but espresso isn’t the only way we consume our daily joe.

Last year, I picked up an MHW-3Bomber Mini Coffee scale that I still use every day to weigh beans and time both espresso shots and pour-overs. It doesn’t take up much space on my counter, and I charge it via USB-C every few weeks. It’s currently $31, or 21% off its regular price.

And speaking of pour-over coffee, a good goose-neck kettle like the Cuisinart GK-1 helps control your water flow and temperature. It’s now 38% off at $80.

For traveling, camping and even the occasional no-fuss afternoon coffee, the Aeropress is a favorite: easy enough to make good coffee, with plenty of options for folks who want to experiment with different coffee roasts and techniques (I go for the inverted method). And it’s also affordable: Normally $40, it’s now 25% off at $30 for the Big Spring Sale.

To feed your java obsession, be sure to bookmark CNET’s best coffee deals so you can revisit what you might need while holding a steaming mug late at night.

One of my favorite skin care products is 52% off

By Kaylyn McKenna

Medicube pore pads on a lavender background
Medicube/CNET

I first discovered these Medicube pore pads on TikTok, where several of the brand’s products have gone viral. I often struggle with clogged pores and excess oil production around my nose, so I decided to give them a try. I’ve been using the toner pads for almost a year now, and they’ve become an essential part of my skin care routine. 

The pads are formulated with salicylic acid, lactic acid, cypress tree leaf, white willow bark and other key ingredients designed to reduce blackheads, minimize pores and target excess sebum. If you want to try the Medicube pore pads out for yourself, you can snag them now for $15, which is over 50% off the standard list price of $31.

A very cool sticker maker for $255 is a great deal

By Russell Holly

Liene sticker printer
Russell Holly/CNET

When I reviewed this Liene PixCut S1 sticker printer, I thought the price was a little steep for what you were getting. 

Today, I get to eat a little slice of humble pie because Liene has dropped the price on this very cool maker tool by a whopping $145, making it a much better option for folks who want to make and possibly even sell their own stickers. This machine handles all of the printing and cutting in remarkable detail, and it’s powered by a super-simple app on your phone. 

If you’re a creative person and stickers are your thing, you aren’t going to find a better price on this anytime soon.

Work together to find all the clues before it’s too late

The Clue Escape: The World's Fair game is shown on a green Spring Sale background with an available now sticker.
Hasbro/CNET

If you enjoy family game nights, don’t miss this Big Spring Sale deal at Amazon on a Clue Escape game. These are mystery-solving games, almost styled like an escape room. Up to six of you work together to solve the mystery as a team, and there are minigames that help you along the way. Play typically lasts between 90 minutes and two hours. 

I played a different version with some of my nieces and nephews, and we all had a blast. They wanted to do another one immediately, so now I’m picking up this variant while it’s down to $12. I usually see these listed for around $15 to $17, so this is a nice price reduction — and while this isn’t the lowest price this variant has ever been, it is the lowest it has dropped in 2026.

This is a great way to spend a night with friends or family. These Clue Escape games are made for players aged 10 and up. (For reference, our players were mostly late teens, and they had a good time.) Just keep in mind that this is a one-and-done style game, just like escape room games usually are. Once everything is opened and the mystery is solved, that’s the end of the game.

Drive safer with my favorite dash cam

By Palash Volvoikar

70mai-4k-omni-x800

A capable dashcam with a personality.

70mai/CNET

If you’re always worried about safety while driving, a dash cam is a must-have for you. 70mai makes my favorite models, and I’ve got them installed in both my cars (and a few in my friends’ vehicles, thanks to my recommendations). The 4K Omni X800 is my favorite so far, because it’s far less boring than you would expect a dash cam to be. It gets the job done with the dual 4K recording, which also works well at night.

At the same time, it’s got a ton of smart features and a cute little persona on the tiny screen, which emotes at you every now and then without being a distraction. Plus, you can get it to swivel 360 degrees and record the cabin, if that’s what you need. You can currently get it at Amazon for $260, a whopping $90 off the usual price.

This projector powers my movie and sports nights

It’s the best projector I’ve tested yet.

Xgimi/CNET

I love TVs, monitors, projectors and all things displays, and I’m nitpicky about them. So when I say that Xgimi gets a ton of things right with the Horizon 20 Max, you have to believe me. It’s bright, has punchy colors, and makes me want to not use my still very brilliant Samsung Neo QLED TV. I’ve hosted multiple movie and sports nights with this one now, and it’s excellent at it, or even if you just want to throw on some F1 while working on your laptop.

CNET reviewed it and we loved its brightness, though it can be a bit too much. But that can be a good thing for projectors, especially if ambient light seeps into the room where you set it up. It’s pricey, but currently has a $700 discount over at Amazon, bringing it down to $2,299. That’s a bargain for a model that’s only a few months old.

Check out our favorite projectors for more options during this sale. 

Save $400 on a Galaxy S26 when switching to Mint Mobile

By David Lumb

Mint Mobile/CNET

The new Samsung Galaxy S26 is a powerhouse phone, but it’s $100 more expensive than its predecessor due to economic factors. But you can dodge that if you switch to Mint Mobile, as new customers can save $400 on a Galaxy S26 by switching to T-Mobile’s affordable carrier.

There are a couple of conditions to this offer. You can’t be a current Mint Mobile customer, and you have to sign up for 12 months of service. But you’ll probably want to do that anyway, since that’s the best way to get the lowest rate from the carrier. Plus, you can get an extra $200 off if you’ll also be trading in an old phone.

Add smart cafe string lights to your outdoor spaces

By Adrian Marlow

GE Cync smart cafe string lights are shown on a lilac Big Spring Sale background with price drop and limited time stickers.
GE Cync/CNET

When it comes to upgrading to smart lighting around my house, budget was my main concern. As such, I’ve replaced most of my old lamp bulbs with GE Cync smart bulbs, which make it easy to schedule or adjust the atmosphere of my home. I even use them as a makeshift sunrise alarm alongside my phone’s alarm. Now GE Cync’s Smart Cafe string lights have dropped 25% as part of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, making it easy to take that same smart lighting outside. 

You can snag a 48-foot set of cafe-style string lights with vintage-looking color-changing bulbs for just $58 — a new low price. They’re IP65-rated, making them perfect for adding year-round warmth to your patio or deck.

An affordable upgrade that’ll make your concert experience better and safer

By Dhruv Bhutani

eargasm

I’m an avid concertgoer with an affinity for loud, heavy metal gigs, and I used to think that wearing earplugs would ruin the entire experience. You’re there to listen to the music, not muffle it. But after enough nights of feeling a ring in my ears on the way back home, I quickly realized that hearing protection isn’t optional. My ears aren’t getting any younger, and keeping them protected is a no-brainer. 

The Eargasm high-fidelity earplugs are just the upgrade you need over standard earplugs. Unlike cheap foam plugs, these reusable options are specifically designed for a better concert experience. They use attenuation filters that lower the volume evenly, so everything still sounds clear, just less harsh and loud. They can bring down the noise by as much as 21 decibels while keeping the full range of sound intact, so vocals stay crisp, and you’ll hear every guitar riff. I love them, and it’s hard to go back. 

The earbuds are reusable, come with multiple tip sizes for a better fit, and include a small case you can keep on your keychain. And right now, they’re discounted to about $35 instead of the usual $44, making them a much easier upgrade to justify if you regularly find yourself at concerts or festivals. 

I swore I’d never use an e-reader

My TBR pile is never-ending, and at this point I have enough physical books to fill an entire wall — and then some. I’ll admit I’ve always been a bit of a snob about e-readers, but their practicality is hard to argue with. So, I’ve been eyeing this deal. Our favorite option, the Kindle Paperwhite, is currently on sale for $135. We’ve seen it dip as low as $125 before, but it never sticks around for long. If you’ve been on the fence, now might be a good time to pull the trigger before prices climb back up.

Hot tea from the first sip to the last

I can’t recall how many times I’ve reheated my tea in the microwave, and honestly, it’s no fun. The hassle of getting up and going to the kitchen isn’t worth it, especially since the tea never quite tastes the same. The mug warmer from The House Gem store really is a lifesaver. Now just $20, this 36-watt mug warmer keeps my cuppa at the perfect temperature, no matter how long I take to drink it.

Audible is the best way to enjoy your favorite books

By James Bricknell

A figure from Project Hail Mary, available to print at home.

This 3D-printed figure is a big deal if you’ve already watched Project Hail Mary. 

Russell Holly / CNET

If you haven’t had a chance to watch Project Hail Mary, I really think you should. It’s funny, heartwarming and as Sci-Fi as they get. Once you’ve watched it, you should also read the book. In fact, you should listen to the book. It’s read by Ray Porter, and it’s a masterpiece. 

The best way to do that is to have an Audible membership. I know it’s another subscription in your life, but it’s one that will make everything better. I promise.

As soon as you join, you’ll get one credit to spend on your first book, and if Hail Mary doesn’t do it for you, then try Dungeon Crawler Carl, or The Lord of the Rings read by Andy Serkis. Any of them is worth your time. You can do the $8.99 a month subscription, but I recommend the $14.95 one, since you’ll keep the books you get with credits even if you cancel. 

Join me in my nostalgia with Maxell’s new tape player

There are days I long for the naivety of youth and the nostalgia of yesteryear. Until someone can invent a reliable time machine, I’ll channel the sweetness of yesterday with this $80 Maxell wireless cassette player. Yes, you read that right: a cassette player in 2026. Maxell has brought back its classic tape player with some upgrades, like Bluetooth connectivity, USB-C fast charging and up to 11 hours of battery life. There’s also a headphone jack if you’re really about that retro vibe. These $7 over-ear vintage headphones are a solid starting point.

This is expected to retail for $100, but if you preorder right now, you’ll save 20% off. Now, please excuse me while I dust off all my (my mom’s) old mixed tapes.

Baby bottle washers save time and reduce stress. Period

By James Bricknell

A white bottle washer for baby bottles
Momcozy

Did I tell you that I recently became a granddad? Well, I did. My grandkid is just a few weeks old, and his mum and dad are doing amazingly well for first-time parents. One of their favorite gadgets is an all-in-one bottle washer that takes so much stress out of their day. No more worrying about the state of the bottles or if you remembered to sanitize them. It’s all done in one machine. So simple.

This one from Momcozy holds four bottles and a few pacifiers, and can be used for most pump parts, too. The tank on the back is large enough for a couple of washes, and the waste pipe drains the water into the sink. It’s a real time-saver, and it’s on sale now for $240.

This keyboard upgrade makes typing feel brand new again

By Dhruv Bhutani

keychron K10 HE hall effect keyboard

As someone who spends long hours every day typing, I’m always on the lookout for fresh keyboards that can elevate the experience. The Keychron K10 HE is the kind of upgrade that makes you stop scrolling and move it straight from your wishlist to your Amazon cart. 

At first glance, the wood accents and slightly retro design might make it look like a classic full-size keyboard, but then you notice the little details. Be it the aluminum frame or the magnetic Hall Effect switches, which can detect how far you’ve pressed instead of just whether you pressed at all. This lets you fine-tune the actuation to be feather-light for gaming, or a deeper, more satisfying thunk for typing.

I already use a Hall Effect keyboard and can vouch for the fact that once you dial it in, it’s hard to go back. The keyboard is also hot-swappable, wireless and works across Mac, Windows and Linux without a fuss. The ongoing Spring Sale knocks $22 off the $145 list price, making it a solid choice. 

Get four color printing for a shockingly low price

Flashforge

Multi-color printing has been around for a few years at this point, and we are starting to see the prices plummet on machines that would have cost thousands just 5 years ago. The AD5X from Flashforge is a great entry point to 3D printing, and while adding an enclosure to it can be a pain, it prints with excellent quality for a $500 machine. 

What’s even better is that it’s down to just $339 right now, and that’s an absolute steal. If you’re looking to get into 3D printing, this is a great place to start.

Cry over your childhood with this fantastic Land Before Time deal

By David Lumb

land-before-time.jpg

Who wasn’t a dinosaur kid? If that was you in the ’90s, you probably watched (and cried during) The Land Before Time, one of the best animated movies of all time. Right now, you can get the original film and its 13 sequels on DVD for just $18

While the numerous sequels may not be anything to write home about (I think I dropped off around the third film), I agree with CNET Senior Editor Moe Long that the original is a treasure of a film. Don Bluth’s dinosaur epic is an incredibly moving story about lost children banding together to form their own family against the brutality of nature (specifically, a vicious T. rex called Sharptooth who lives deep in every Millennial’s nightmares). 

The soundtrack from the incomparable James Horner goes a long way to tug at your emotions, and by the time Diana Ross sings over the credits, you’ll be yanked right back to childhood — and all your dino friends who’ve been waiting to see you again. 

A fun party game for families

By Meara Isenberg

Another gaming post!

If you enjoy bringing people together for party games and you haven’t tried out Herd Mentality, Amazon’s spring sale could be a reason to add the board game to your collection. It stands out to me as a game that’s super simple to learn and that adults genuinely have as much fun playing as kids (the game is for ages 10 and up and four or more players). 

The game calls upon everyone to answer a question, and you win by anticipating what others will say and being in the majority. If you provide an answer no one else does, you get stuck with a dreaded pink cow until someone else is the odd one out. You can buy a version with bonus questions for a deal price of $20 at Amazon

Board games are cool, and cheap in the Spring Sale

I am a huge board game fan. I mostly spend my days playing the more casual game because it’s hard to play crunchy games when you have young kids, but still, I love them all. Any sale is a good chance to add to your board game collection for a little less than normal, and I’ve found some family favorites at a good discount.

  • Sheriff of Nottingham: $25. A great way to outbluff your family and friends.
  • Forbidden Island: $20. This is one of my favorite coop games around. It’s such a fun and unique experience.
  • Settlers of Catan 6th Edition: $44. Settlers is, in some ways, the game that restarted the world’s love of board games. It’s now in its 6th edition and just as fun.
  • Ticket to Ride: $39 with coupon. A board game about trains? What’s not to love? This is a favorite in my house, and we play all the variants we can get.

CD players are back, and this is a great one

By Moe Long

As a big audiophile, I have a solid collection of records and CDs. But, if you’re like me, it can be tough to play CDs, since disc drives have effectively gone the way of the dodo. Sure, streaming music is convenient, but with a CD, you own your music. Ever since getting back into CD collecting, I’ve been on the hunt for a new CD player, and the Syitren R300 has been moved from my wishlist to my Amazon cart. It’s currently $90 at Amazon, down from $120.

It’s portable for listening at home or on the go. In addition to a headphone jack that lets you listen on your favorite headphones or speakers, the R300 has Bluetooth, so you can wirelessly enjoy your favorite albums on Bluetooth speakers and headphones. There’s even an SPDIF optical audio output for high-quality connections to devices like speakers or stereo systems, so the R300 will be just as comfortable while traveling as it is nestled on your media shelf. I like that it’s stylish, with a fun retro modern vibe.

Bruvi/CNET

If you’re like me, you need a daily boost of caffeine. But if you like a variety of brews or have a household with conflicting tastes, you’ll need a coffee machine that can handle just about anything you throw at it. 

Right now, you can get the Bruvi bundle for just $198 with our exclusive code. That’s an incredible $200 savings on its $398 price tag. It’s also a 40% savings on Bruvi’s current discounted price of $338. Just use code CNETxBRUVI at checkout to get this special price.

The Bruvi earns our pick as the best single-serve coffee maker overall. Whether you like espresso, cold brew or iced coffee, this machine can handle it. You can even steep tea or make matcha with the company’s variety of degradable pods. This bundle includes the Bruvi BV-01 coffee brewer and a free variety pack of 20 B-pods — a $29 value. You’ll also receive a reusable Japanese knot bag to tote your essentials.

The Bat-signal is up

Consider this your Bat-signal to spend $29. Amazon’s Spring Sale has the Blu-rays of Batman: The Animated Series for 36% off right now, which gets you 109 episodes of glorious animated Batman, plus two animated films based on the series.

The ’90s animated series is arguably the most influential piece of Batman media — no shade to The Dark Knight Returns or Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy. This show took decades of stories about Gotham’s caped crusader and revitalized them through episodes that weren’t afraid to dig into the depth and nuance of the characters. I have the series on DVD and will probably pick up this Blu-ray collection anyway, because Bruce Timm’s slick animation style deserves the glory of higher definition.

Secure some pink noise-canceling headphones for spring

I’ll admit, when I see a tech product in pink, it often grabs my attention regardless of whether I need that particular device. Anker’s Soundcore Space One headphones are currently on sale at Amazon in two fit-for-spring colors: cloud pink and sky blue. The budget noise-canceling headphones are $30 off and $2 below their lowest-ever price at Amazon, which could be a reason to swing for a pair if you’re in the market for them (or if satisfying colors are enough to make you need a tech product). You can find the pink headphones here for $70.

After years of ogling, I’m finally purchasing a set of Cadence travel capsules

By Amber Guetebier

I love the green set (eucalyptus) but you can mix and match sizes and colors. 

Cadence/CNET

I know it’s not true for everyone, but I love packing for trips, especially as over the years I’ve dialed in on the best gear, like my beloved Desley suitcase and my favorite cosmetic case. A few years ago, the Cadence Capsules came on the travel scene, and I was smitten. Magnetic cases of varying sizes can stack or connect sideways, reducing the amount of space and chaos in a toiletry case. It’s an obsessive packer’s dream come true. Suddenly, it seemed like every travel blogger out there was raving about these cosmetic containers.

But they are spendy: A set of three medium-sized containers sets you back $72. Right now, pretty much all the Cadence Capsule sizes and bundles are on sale, so that medium set is 20% off, down to $58. The set of four mediums and three smalls is reduced by 15%, setting you back $117 — a modest $13 savings but a savings nonetheless. If you’re looking for an excuse to pick up the Cadence Capsules, the Amazon Big Spring Sale is the time to go for it. Adds to cart…

I’m so mad I bought this dartboard light before the Spring Sale

By James Bricknell

Here’s a top tip for you: Never buy something three days before a sale starts. I bought this awesome LED light for my dartboard from Target Darts for $90, and now, it’s down to $73. Obviously, I thought it was a good price at $90, so if you’re looking to really improve your at-home darts layout, this Corona LED is the way to go. 

I also have a set of the company’s K-Flex flights, and they’re so much nicer than the standard flights. Try them, you won’t be disappointed.

I didn’t mean to become an iPad baby, but here we are

Scott Stein/CNET

I recently picked up the iPad A16 after feeling the growing need for a second screen, partly for work and partly because my family has a vice grip on the TV during their daily soaps, and I needed something bigger than my phone to watch The Pitt in peace. The investment has absolutely paid off, and as Adrian highlighted earlier, it’s currently $50 off and worth grabbing while the deal is live.

While you’re at it, a case is a smart add-on. I went with the ESR case, which is also on sale starting at $23 and comes in some pretty colors. (The deal is only for Prime members right now.) It has a built-in pencil holder, stands vertically and features raised edges to protect from scratches which, knowing me, will happen eventually. It’s sturdy, practical and a solid companion for the iPad at that price.

Add a pretty plant stand to your home for $70

By Adrian Marlow

I have a lot of succulents, and they keep outgrowing their pots. While I still have several in front of my window, I needed another light source for my growing collection. I settled on this 62-inch-tall plant stand with lots of different shelves and three grow lights. It’s shallow enough that I’ve been able to use it in my hall, and in the evenings, I only use the grow lights instead of needing any kind of hall light to get around. I grabbed it in October, it’s still going strong, and I’m really happy with my purchase. Now that it’s 36% off, I’m considering getting a second one. 

While $70 isn’t the lowest price we’ve seen, it is the lowest price of 2026 so far, making now a great time to grab one. Note that you will see some grow light wires, which aren’t shown in the pictures on Amazon, but they’re subtle enough that they mostly blend in with the wrought-iron parts. At any rate, they don’t bother me, and I’ve gotten a ton of compliments from visitors on this lovely plant stand.

Here’s something I didn’t know existed, but now absolutely need

By Adam Oram

Elevation Lab

Adding a Bluetooth tracker to your keys or luggage is a wise move, but if the tracker’s battery is flat, you needn’t have bothered. Apple’s AirTags last a long time on a coin battery, but if you miss the low-battery alert when it’s time to replace it, you could be left with a dud tracker. Turns out, that’s a solved problem with Elevation Lab’s AirTag battery case. Not only does it make your tag a bit more rugged, but it also allows you to run a single AirTag for as long as 10 years. That’s 10 times longer it would last otherwise. It runs on two AA batteries (not included, so pick some up, too) and means you don’t have to worry about digging out the AirTags you keep in your suitcases and faff with coin cells before each trip. It’s on sale now for $16.

Secure your front door for only $36

The Blink video doorbell is one of our favorite video doorbell cameras of 2026, and right now, it’s only $36. That’s almost half off its $70 list price. Adding a doorbell camera is a simple way to amp up your home security and deter people from stealing your packages.

The Blink video doorbell is easy to set up and has a two-year battery life. You can check who’s at your door with head-to-toe HD video, so you can decide whether to answer. The doorbell also supports two-way audio, so you can ask a few questions before opening your door or tell someone to just leave the delivery at your doorstep. With the Blink mobile app, you can keep tabs on what’s happening at home while you’re away and get smart alerts when someone comes into view of the camera.

My favorite buds for gym and travel are only $80 today

Finding headphones that stay put during exercise and long days of travel has always been a struggle. I dread to think how many earbuds I’ve lost in a crowded train or bus, but the Soundcore AeroFit 2 stay in place. They offer an open-ear design, meaning they don’t plug up your ears, so you can still hear what’s happening around you — ideal for running outdoors — and despite being open, I find them nice and bassy, which makes my workout music sound way better. 

They also have four adjustable positions to fit most ear sizes, perfect for big ears like mine. All five colors are down to just $80, so you can save on your favorite.

Got a pool? Get an Aiper robot vac for just $550

Aiper/CNET

After buying a house with a pool, it became clear that a robot vacuum was an essential accessory. After testing more than a dozen of them, it became clear that not all robot pool cleaners are created equal. 

Aiper’s cordless autonomous robots performed better than any of the others I tested, combining strong suction power with a decent running time and easy maintenance. Right now, Aiper’s entry-level robot pool cleaner is down to $550 on Amazon for the Big Spring Sale. It’s normally north of $800 for the small-yet-mighty bot. 

The Scuba S1 boasts 4,000 gallons per hour of suction power. This compact Aiper will run at full strength for 180 minutes on a single charge — more than enough time to clean most pools.

This MacBook is worth every dollar

If I had to spend less than $1,000 and get a laptop that can edit videos on the go while delivering decent battery life, I would snag this solid deal on the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air.

It’s currently down to $949 on Amazon, which is $250 off its list price, and comes with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. This variant offers a solid balance for anybody who wants to start creating content or even compile some code locally. The M4 processor is definitely well-equipped to handle these tasks. You can also upgrade to the 15-inch MacBook Air for $949 on Amazon, provided you’re willing to give up on storage; the larger screen model only comes with a 256GB SSD at that price.

I strongly believe the MacBook Air deal is worth it because of its quality-of-life features, which the impressive MacBook Neo does not have, and performance headroom that you won’t feel like you’ll need a MacBook Pro — unless your workflow suddenly demands additional ports and extra processing power.

Levoit/CNET

The LVAC-200 may be an older Levoit model, but it’s also one of the best value cordless vacuums you can get. It comes second only to the Eureka ReactiSense 440, earning our runner-up spot for the best overall cheap cordless vacuum. Right now it’s down to $150, which is super affordable for a vac this performant. 

For the longest time, it dominated our main best list as the best budget cordless vacuum, offering strong performance with few compromises. It has a 98.7% sand pickup score on hardwood floors and fared well on carpet, with 80.2% on low-pile and 74% on midpile. While it doesn’t include a HEPA filter, it does have a filtration system and comes with user-replaceable batteries, which can be purchased from Amazon for $70, helping to offset the 25-minute battery life.

If you’re tired of hitting up a gas station every time your car tire looks a little low, you might want to look into the Fanttik X9 Pro portable tire inflator. It’s a cordless inflator, made for both cars and bikes, and it’s compact enough to toss in your bag or glovebox without taking up much space. It’s capable of inflating compact car tires from 30 to 35 PSI in roughly one minute. It also includes a digital tire pressure gauge that turns off automatically when the preset pressure is reached, so you know you’ve got the pressure just right. It’s usually $76, but it’s down to $60 right now, which seems like a fair price for a bit of extra peace of mind.

I’ve seen plenty of great vacuum deals this week, but this may be the best one yet. The Yeedi S14 Plus is a whopping $750 off right now, bringing the price down to just $450. For a vacuum that typically retails for $1,200, that is an absolutely unbeatable deal. In fact, it’s a record low price for the S14 Plus.

Not only can this device vacuum your floors, but it can also thoroughly mop them. That means you can cross two chores off your spring cleaning checklist. 

Yeedi’s two-in-on smart cleaners have appeared on our best robot vacuums list, and I myself have an older model that has been serving me (and my floors) well for several years now. 

I wish I’d bought this stand mixer sooner

The KitchenAid stand mixer is a kitchen powerhouse with the ability to mix ingredients, knead dough and more.

KitchenAid/Amazon/CNET

For a long time, I was hesitant to invest in a stand mixer, even though I’d heard countless people (including CNET) rave about the KitchenAid Artisan Series. Finally, my partner and I compiled our gift cards, took the plunge and bought ourselves the almond cream-colored KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-quart tilt-head stand mixer. We’ve only had it for a few months, but I can already say that I wish I’d gotten this kitchen must-have sooner.

I’m someone who bakes often, so it’s been a delicious dream to have the KitchenAid mix ingredients, whip cream, beat eggs and knead dough for me. I’ve even used it to make butter and mix together egg salad. Then once I’m done, most of the mixer accessories can go right in the dishwasher, saving me even more time. 

If you, too, have been interested in getting yourself a KitchenAid stand mixer, now is a great time: It’s currently $100 off in a wide range of colors. With the mixer, you also get a stainless steel bowl, flat beater, dough hook, wire whip and pouring shield (to prevent flour from flying everywhere).

Apple’s newest headphones, the AirPods Max 2, aren’t even out yet, and they’re already discounted on Amazon. Right now, you can preorder the AirPods Max 2 in midnight or starlight (er, black or white) for just $530. That’s $19 off their usual $549 price tag. Sure, it’s only $19, but it’s rare to find a deal on an Apple product before release.

The headphones will be available in early April, but you can preorder them now to snag this rare discount. If they happen to drop any lower before release, you’ll get the lowest price listed, thanks to Amazon’s preorder price guarantee.
