Blade Stunner: This sharp knife set will look so lovely on your counter. (Amazon(Amazon)
Garden overflowing with summer produce? Well, your dull knives just won't cut it (heh) when it comes to chopping slippery tomatoes or safely skimming the kernels off an ear of corn. You'll want a few sharp blades for easy, quick slicing and dicing, and we've found some for a steal: the Calphalon Classic Self-Sharpening Knife Block Set. Wait, self-sharpening? Yup! These knives come housed in an attractive wooden block with slots that hone each blade every time you use them. Think that's cool? How about the fact that this set is currently down to $80 (from $180) at Amazon? That's what we call a price slash worth snagging.
Enjoying a warm breakfast on a busy morning has never been so easy, thanks to this contraption that'll make a bacon, egg and cheese without you having to wait at the drive-through. Just fill each tray with the essentials and any toppings you'd like, and it'll cook everything so that it's nice and melty by the time you've gotten dressed. This appliance doesn't go on sale very often, so grab it while you can save 25%.
If you sleep hot, these moisture-wicking pillows will help keep you comfortable. They're filled with a plush down alternative (100% polyester) that's encased in a soft, breathable sateen cover. Score the set while it's over 70% off.
"My husband and I are very picky about our pillows, and we are pleasantly surprised at how comfortable these are," said one five-star fan. "We are both side sleepers, and these have helped both of us have better nights of sleep. They support our necks without feeling like we are too propped up, and they offer enough give to help feel like our necks are being cradled. I'm glad I found these."
So, your outdoor space is too small for a grill, and you'd really like to avoid a house full of smoke — but you're still craving those charred foods of summer. This baby will sear proteins and veggies like a champ, but its smoke-control system means you won't be breathing in soot while you cook. In addition to a grill plate, it comes with a flat-top griddle (smash burgers, anyone?) and you'll be able to fit up to six steaks at a time on its roomy cooking surface. Bonus: It comes with a food thermometer for accurate results every time.

If spring allergies are making you sneezier than a certain friend of Snow White's, you'll want this HEPA air purifier that's currently 65% off. Not only can it remove up to 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns, but it does so quietly (as in, softer than a whisper). It's suitable for spaces up to 1,076 square feet.

Having this popular dryer vent cleaning kit on hand is a great way to minimize the risk of fires, as it'll do a more thorough job than simply wiping the lint out. At over 40% off, it's currently about as low as we've seen it.
Ah, the beach: refreshing water to cool off in, the relaxing sound of waves to zone out to ... and a seemingly endless supply of sand that'll somehow end up all over your car and house. But you'll be able to minimize the amount you track in, thanks to this sand-proof blanket that's easy to shake free of those pesky particles. Plus, it folds down much smaller than a towel to save space in your bag.
This model is less bulky than many uprights, so you can take it with you from room to room without it feeling like a workout. And when you have to get into those elevated spaces like stairs, furniture and your car, the lift-away detachable pod allows you to clean them with ease. It also has a HEPA filter that'll help trap irritants in the air while in use.
Our price trackers tell us it hasn't dipped any lower this year.
"Very easy to assemble, this is a sturdy and powerful vacuum," raved a user. "I like the extra-long cord and the ability to adjust suction power depending on the flooring. I had a Dyson for many years but just couldn’t justify the price tag on another new one. I am very pleased with this Shark."
There's a reason this cooling sheet set is a No. 1 bestseller — several reasons, in fact. For starters, it's made of brushed microfiber that feels much softer than its affordable price tag would suggest, and the moisture-wicking material will help you stay dry while you snooze. Add to that the fact that these sheets are pill-, wrinkle- and fade-resistant? No wonder sleepers are comparing them to high-end bedding brands like Brooklinen.

Thought you could escape the Tineco's wrath, counter crumbs? Sorry, this versatile vac can reach pretty much any spot in the house.
To those ladies who believe that plain old rubber gloves will keep their hands protected, we say: "No, woman — NoCry."
Hate lugging a heavy vacuum up and down your stairs? You won't have to with this cordless vac — the sleek design is a major upgrade from bulky dirt-busters of yore. It transforms into a handheld for cleaning furniture and higher surfaces, and a filtration system traps allergens such as pet dander. Score this household helper for 30% off.
One pet owner and Dyson fan wrote in the reviews: "I have owned a Dyson since 2012 and I love it. It has stood the test of time and still does a great job. But with two long-haired cats, I needed a cordless vacuum that could reach more spaces and where I wasn't constantly plugging/unplugging. It is very lightweight and easy to operate. The canister is easy to dump too. ... Nice suction — picks up small debris and cat hair without fail!"
According to our price trackers, this set has yet to dip lower than this; it's certainly the best price we've seen for it all year. Some single knives can cost as much as, if not more than, this entire set, and the fact that the block has built-in sharpeners means you're getting a whole lotta bang for your buck.
If you've ever tried to chop vegetables, slice fruit or trim meat with a dull knife, you know how tedious it is. But more than that, it's unsafe. When your knife isn't sharp, you have to exert more effort, which often leads to haphazardly hacking away at whatever you're cutting up (and sometimes nicking your fingers in the process).
With this Calphalon set, your blades will stay sharp as you go — no need to learn how to use a honing rod or shell out for professional sharpening services. Included are an 8-inch chef's knife, 6-inch utility knife, 5-inch santoku knife, 3.5-inch paring knife, kitchen shears and the aforementioned wooden block. The blades are crafted from high-carbon steel, which the built-in ceramic sharpeners will automatically keep nice and pointy every time they're removed from and returned to the holder.
Each knife has a triple-riveted handle that's contoured to feel comfortable in your hand, allowing you to chop more confidently. Another nifty feature? Each handle's tip is labeled so you'll know which knife you're reaching for — something more sets should include (hint, hint, cutlery brands!). Oh, and for extra peace of mind, this set comes with a full lifetime warranty.
According to Amazon customers, this set gets high marks for its long-lasting sharpness, small footprint and sleek look.
"Compact," wrote one five-star fan. "I love my new knife set. They are really sharp and look nice on my counter."
"Wonderful," raved another. "If you want a good knife set, I recommend this. I’ve had it for two years now and still as sharp as ever."
"I absolutely love the set," echoed a third. "It’s almost luxurious. Very nice-looking on the counter as well."
A couple of customers had this quibble: "I have really enjoyed these knives — perfect for a small household with a small kitchen. My only complaint is that putting the scissors back requires the steady hand of a neurosurgeon. It is so easy to nick the wood around the hole for the scissors when you put them back in, and I have done it many times. It just needed a bit of metal around the opening (like the metal around the knife holes)."
"We love it, especially the installed-sharpening part," wrote a generally happy user. "Just missing a serrated knife in the set. There is one with [a] fine serrated part, like a table steak knife, but I like a good, rough serrated knife for tomatoes."
