Raise your hand if you start to go into "weekend mode" once Thursday rolls around (my arm's in the air). Of course, we still have a couple more work days to get through, so if you could use a little serotonin boost, might I recommend checking out the best Amazon deals? I'm seeing everything from Apple AirPods on sale for a record low to a Roomba robot vacuum that's nearly 50% off. That should tell you a little something about the quality of these sales — and since hunting for deals is literally my job, I've rounded up the most worthwhile markdowns of the bunch to speed things up.
Top Amazon deals
Apple AirPods 4 for $99 (was $129): New all-time low
New Apple iPad, 11-inch for $299 (was $349): All-time low

As the temps rise, your feet will need some breathing room — treat 'em to a bestselling pair of cloudlike slides, just $20 (their best price ever). Speaking of cloudlike, a popular pair of plush cooling pillows is currently an insane 80% off at $25. (Now that's what dreams are made of.) And if you're still in spring cleaning mode, I highly recommend allowing this Rubbermaid electric scrubber to do the dirty work for a mere $15.

I've been lucky to avoid power outages in my most recent home, with one exception: During the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs. My wife and I were watching the Colorado Avalanche when the power went out. Bummed that I was going to miss the rest of the game, I looked out the window and saw that my neighbor had the game going via his outdoor projector, which was plugged into an Explorer 1000 v2. Lesson learned.
Its two USB-C ports, one USB-A port, one DC car port, and three AC outlets mean you can charge your tech as well as run a space heater. For an extra $250 you can add solar panels, which can charge this from 0-80% in just 2.4 hours.
Every home cook needs a trusty frying pan for making omelets, stir-frys, pancakes and more. This one features aluminum sandwiched between stainless steel for expert heat conduction and distribution, and its nonstick interior makes it a breeze to clean.
"Bought this 10-inch pan as a birthday gift to myself, and now I want a whole set," wrote a satisfied shopper. "It's a great starter size for eggs, browning a pound of meat, making two slices of French toast, overall small meals. I LOVE how easy they are to clean, even after food kind of burns onto them. They are also very durable and cook nicely. I gifted one to my mother-in-law for Christmas, and it's her favorite kitchen item now, hands down!"

This sleek set caught my eye with its modern look; its minimalist appearance suits many outdoor aesthetics, it and would instantly elevate the appearance of a patio or deck. Made of sturdy iron, it was designed with longevity in mind and the breathable fabric encourages airflow to prevent things from getting too sticky.
Included are two chairs, a loveseat and a coffee table, making it ideal for hosting a small group or enjoying your breakfast alfresco. At nearly 45% off, this set is down to its best price since Black Friday and the holidays. Patio furniture is often marked down during the off-season, so finding an option with as many five-star ratings as this one at such a great price is a true rarity.
