Every so often, current events pierce our happy little category-assessing, roundup-compiling, bargain-hunting bubble here at Yahoo. This is one of those times, as we (and, well, everyone) are concerned about the effects of the tariffs being levied on goods produced beyond our shores — i.e., angsty that consumers may be looking at some serious price hikes down the road. However, even if that were to happen, we're not there yet; we're in a kind of grace period, which means it's an especially good time to snap up the best Amazon deals on offer this week.

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.
This multi-use, nonstick beauty just might become Mom's most-utilized piece of cookware, thanks to its thoughtful design (which has attracted celebs like Selena Gomez and Oprah, by the way). The ceramic coating is slick and free of PFAS, while the handle smartly doubles as a spoon rest. Speaking of utensils, it comes with a wooden spatula and metal steamer basket that can be used as a colander, and it's oven-safe up to 450°F for added versatility.
"So much nicer on my wrists than my heavy pans," gushed a satisfied buyer. "Absolutely nothing sticks. So excited to add color back into my kitchen as well. I will say, the pan holds a lot more than it appears and is perfect for most meals."

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!"
It's an ultra-light, thin tablet that's powerful enough to replace your laptop for most tasks but slips into your bag without a second thought. With a large 11-inch Liquid Retina display, you're swiping and scrolling in vibrant color and sharpness that makes any screen that came before feel like an old tube TV.
If you've got a habit of toggling between a dozen apps, streaming videos and replying to messages at once, you're in for a treat. This iPad is ready to keep up with whatever you throw its way. And if you're into gaming, the graphics capabilities mean you can play even demanding games without dropping a frame.
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.
