Make fighting with your family members over power outlets a thing of the past, courtesy of this electrifying gadget. It's equipped with five AC outlets and four USB ports, enough for everyone to charge their iPads, iPhones, MacBooks (you get the picture) all at once. Oh, and it's so much sleeker than having a power strip on your floor — and you won't have to worry about tripping over it.
No, it's not a massive discount, but this bestseller is within a dollar of its all-time low (and it's retailed for as much as $20 in the past).
Ready to finally trade your fraying wired earbuds for a sleek pair of Apple AirPods? These second-gen top-sellers have hundreds of thousands of perfect ratings for a reason — well, multiple reasons: clear, rich sound quality, 24-hour battery life and the fact that you won't find yourself tangled up in cords if you accidentally fall asleep with them in. Apple is one of those brands that doesn't really need to have sales since their products are so in demand. That said, we'll take $49 off when we can!
"I've had a real problem with finding comfortable earbuds and for years have stuck to the one [pair of] corded earbuds that were comfortable and didn't fall out," wrote one Apple convert. "I thought it was finally time to try these as I transitioned to only having a cell phone. I was surprised at how comfortable they are. The sound quality is good, and the charge lasts a long time. I'm a believer!"
If you're guilty of being a little (or very) forgetful, an AirTag may just be that piece of tech you didn't know you needed. It doesn't feel or look too "techy." In fact, it's completely uncomplicated. Just attach it to whatever you tend to misplace often or need to keep track of, like your wallet, keys or luggage. You'll always know where it is using the "Find My" app on your phone. It's among our picks for the best Bluetooth trackers on the market.
"I use these for everything as a chronic misplacer," a savvy shopper said. "My most recent purchase was for my cat's collar because she hides all over the house. It provides great peace of mind!"
Insignia's 24-inch TV is a popular choice thanks to its 1,080-pixel resolution and Fire TV capabilities — you can stream more than a million shows and movies. And now, the TV's already low price is even lower than before. The Alexa-equipped remote makes it easy to flip through channels using just your voice. We've yet to see it go on sale for less.
If you enjoy spending time outdoors, the Mregb Solar Power Bank is the insurance you need to keep your devices charged when power outlets aren't available. Get it while it's over 90% off — yes, 90%. This handy battery pack holds enough charge to power one device up to four times — and it can be juiced up just by sitting in sunlight. Plus, it has a built-in flashlight for emergencies. You won't want to go camping without it!
"I took this power bank to the desert for military training," said a soldier in the reviews. "I was able to charge my phone about four times and the solar power was able to replenish the power I used. Through intense heat and banging this device around whether in my bag or in the Humvee, this thing proved to be a trooper and still in great condition."
You, your kids and your grandkids will have a blast playing with this much-loved drone, which easily connects to your phone for taking photos and videos from above. Use it in the yard, or even bring it on your next trip for a bird's-eye view of your summer vacation. And, oh yeah: It can do 360-degree flips! Get it for nearly 80% off.
No more messy, sticky dashboard mounts. This clever phone holder anchors into your CD player. What else can we say? It'll never let you go. Never let you down. Never run around and desert you.
At a whopping 55% off, this phone mount is only $1 more than the lowest price we've ever seen it. It's also the lowest price of the year, too — the last time we saw it dip further was Black Friday, so if you're holding out for a better deal, you have a while to wait.
The Apps2Car phone mount has an easy one-handed design that lets you pop your phone in and out with ease. The two adjustable side grips and a bottom grip allow it to hold a wide range of phones — everything from the Apple iPhone 4 and up, as well as numerous versions of the Samsung Galaxy. The mount can also be adjusted up to 360 degrees to ensure that it doesn't block your view of the road.
Our guess is that you listen to most of your tunes through a streaming service like Spotify, but if you want to dive into your compact disc collection, the mount can easily be removed from the CD player. When you reach your destination, simply slip your phone out with the touch of a button.
The reviews speak for themselves: More than 12,600 fans have given this mount a flawless rating.
"Excellent mount," raved one fan about the strength and durability of the product. "This thing is so strong and sturdy. Once it's installed in the CD port, it sits very securely with no bounce. My phone has never fallen out of this stand."
Another shopper vouched for its adjustability. "Love this! I hate using ones that stick to the windshield because they block your view. This doesn’t! And it puts it in the perfect spot to use my phone for GPS! If you’re worried it will block your stereo or clock, it can be put in the CD player upside down so it’s either higher or lower by like an inch! Plus, before you tighten the wingnut, slide it a little left or right!"
A third was so impressed, they gifted one: "Very solid and sturdy. Will never fall off like the vent-mounted holders. This is the second one I have ordered. I gave the first one to my daughter as she really needed this too. This is really well-designed and very functional! I highly recommend using it if you have a CD slot on your radio."
And a final fan dubbed it "the best car phone holder ever," adding, "[it] was very easy to assemble and install. Holds firmly in CD slot and is very easy to adjust your phone for viewing. ... it fits great. Very pleased with this one as it doesn't block air vents or break the fins like the other holders I've used have."
If you have a backup camera, know that this might get in the way. "My only complaint is that it makes it hard to view my rear camera screen when I'm backing up. You can flip it up out of the way but it still is a little distracting."
Larger phone cases can also pose a problem, too. "The only downside for me is that it doesn’t hold very well when I have a thick case on my phone, but still does the job."
