This stepper machine will keep you on your toes. (Amazon)
Now that we're knee-deep in the holidays, you might be thinking about ways to counteract all the cookies and egg nog. There are a lot of ways to do that, but most revolve around going to the gym — something that's hard to do with a busy schedule. We've got a tool to put your cold-weather TV time to better use: the Sunny Total Body Smart 2-in-1 Stepper Machine. It's a compact fitness gadget that gives you a full-body workout, and right now, it's on sale for just $40, down from $88.
There's no need to spend an hour on your knees furiously scrubbing your shower when you have one of these on hand. It's garnered thousands of great reviews and features two adjustable speeds to cut through bathtub grime, soap scum and grout stains with little to no elbow grease. Its retractable handle allows you to clean without crouching over, and it comes with four brushes for tackling a variety of spaces in your home.

Hate vacuuming? Get a robot to do it for you! You can use this high-end Roomba to clean your whole house or select rooms. It can go just about anywhere — use it on carpet, tile or hardwood — and it's smart enough to avoid sucking up rogue socks, shoes, computer cords, etc.
"I have two German Shepherds, which equals a lot of fur, therefore we have four Roombas. Yes, four," said one loyal shopper. "This one does seem to get stuck under furniture more than the other two. However, it gets over things better, runs quieter and vacuums both the carpet and hardwood just as well if not better. So, I bought a second one. I highly recommend it. I have all four scheduled to run every day, they work well with Alexa and I truly have no complaints. If I needed a fifth roomba I would 100% buy a third of this model."
This chopper has a high-efficiency motor that handles even thick branches with ease, all while weighing under 3 pounds.
This small-but-mighty sucker, a viral fave for a while now, doesn't usually dip this low outside of Prime Day or Black Friday — so seize the moment! It targets unsightly spots, minimizes odors and more on both carpets and upholstery in a perfectly portable way. At under 10 pounds, it's on the lighter side for a deep cleaner, and it's versatile enough to use on furniture — even car interiors. Plus, the 15-foot cord is long enough to keep you from having to find a new outlet every five minutes.
This set comes with the Little Green, a 3-inch tough stain tool, a HydroRinse self-cleaning hose tool, a spraying crevice tool, a trial size 8-ounce Spot and Stain with Febreze formula and a one-year limited warranty.

Our veins are like 50% coffee at this point in the year, so we’re big fans of the single-serve coffee maker. The best Keurig machine, according to home editor Jessica Dodell-Feder, is the K-Café Barista Bar, on sale for 30% off. That's only a few bucks over its lowest price of the year. Dodell-Feder loves this coffee maker for its ease of use, its "over ice" option, and its included milk frother.
The fact that this versatile appliance (which functions as both a vacuum and mop) is down to its all-time best price is enough for it to warrant a space in our carts. But throw in a Martha Stewart endorsement, and we're tempted to buy two!
The queen of all things home recently sang its praises in an unsponsored Instagram post, calling it the "best new home appliance." She added, "The design is simple, the parts easy to clean and anyone can use it ... Rather than sweeping (which raises dust), rather than vacuuming and then mopping, this machine does it all!"
No space? No problem. This machine is compact enough to fit in even small apartments.
Let's face it: Your car is a little messy. This popular organizer has several compartments to stash a slew of stuff, including snacks, books, blankets and more. It features a nonslip bottom and adjustable straps to secure it in place. When it's not in use, just fold it flat. Use the coupon code for mega savings.
Shared a fan: "Really a very nice, sturdy and well-made product."
Simply put, this might be one of the most aesthetically pleasing household appliances we've ever seen. Dig those wooden legs and that minimalist design! But while it might look like a million bucks, it's currently 35% off (its best price in months). Plus, it can help lower your heating bill!
In spite of its compact size, it's quite powerful. It has two heat modes — 1000-watt high heat and 600-watt medium heat, both of which take just seconds to kick in. But it also has a cooling fan mode, meaning this isn't a machine you'll only pull out for a few months.
At 6.3 inches tall and just over 2 pounds, it's incredibly portable, making it a cinch to bring from room to room. And, most importantly, its safety features include overheating protection, as well as automatic shutoff should it tip over.
Did you know flour mites are a thing? I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but, yes, these teeny-tiny pests exist. They can be found in just about any type of dried pantry staple like flour, oats, grains and spices, but transferring these foods from their original packaging to airtight containers can help prevent mites. Keep those little creatures out courtesy of these airtight canisters, which come with airtight lids.
At 16-cups each, they can hold a good amount and include scoops — plus, the price is just about as low as it's ever been.
This top-selling, compact cutie won't take up a ton of space in your kitchen and has six one-touch smart functions — air-fry, roast, broil, dehydrate, bake and reheat — to make meal prep a breeze. It also preheats in mere moments (up to 400° F) and won't make your kitchen feel like a sauna during the warmer months.
This is the lowest this model has been marked down to all year, and at nearly 55% off, it's within a few dollars of its best price of all time ... just sayin'!
That said, I am admittedly more of an espresso gal, and while this machine has me experiencing some sticker shock — even with the $200 markdown — I can justify the purchase by reminding myself of how much it'll save me on lattes from the local coffee shop over time.
Martha Stewart calls it "the best," and Senior Home Editor Jessica Dodell-Feder named it "best espresso machine overall" after putting a slew of models to the test. "For those who want an all-in-one machine, the Breville Barista Express is for you," she says. "It has a water tank and a built-in grinder! You can grind coffee directly into the portafilter for maximum freshness and in perfectly measured doses."
It's tough to find workout equipment at an affordable price, but this gadget is only $40 — over 50% off — and includes access to the SunnyFit app, which delivers free on-demand workouts to your phone. Considering how much you get, it's hard to argue with the price.
It can take a variety of different machines to get a proper workout, but this two-in-one stepper helps you get a full-body workout with only one. Work your core, glutes, arms, shoulders and more using nothing more than your body weight and some resistance bands. If you have limited space (or a limited budget), this is a no-brainer.
The onboard LCD screen makes it easy to track your steps, workout duration and calories burned. It's also relatively quiet, so you won't wake up everyone in your house (or apartment building — looking at you, Bowflex). The intensity of the steps can be adjusted too, so different users can tailor their workout to their needs.
One standout feature is the ability to adjust the height of the machine, so you can swap between short steps for a high-intensity workout and longer strides for a steadier, lower-paced workout.
More than 2,500 five-star fans are already getting fit with this doodad.
"I love mine, I use it several times a week. It's super easy to put a movie or show on and squeeze in a workout. It's small enough that it fits under a bed or in a closet, which is fantastic," raved one fan. "Now for the workout itself — I use the highest setting and try to go for 30 minutes. Usually, by the end of it, I've worked up a sweat, it's a solid workout. I've noticed my thighs have firmed up and look more toned overall."
Another fan said, "I've lost 20 pounds in two months with no other equipment but the stepper. Great product!"
"I love it," gushed a third shopper. "It goes perfectly with my adjustable desk. I'm able to work and get my steps in. It boosts my mood. I use it in 20-minute increments, then rest, then do it again. It's a great portable workout."
Some shoppers say a few adjustments could make this little stepper even better.
A user wrote, "Only real downside is that the step range of motion can't be extended any further, but that's to be expected with such a compact device that costs under $100. It can get squeaky after a bit of use but it doesn't affect the workout, so no real issue there."
"The resistance bands are a great idea, but I wish they were more adjustable since the lightest setting is almost impossible to use for certain upper body exercises," said a final buyer.
