You're a U.S. traveler, right? Well, come on then — this set's literally got your name on it! (Amazon)(Amazon)
Peak travel season is here — are you prepared for all of your adventures? We've recommended many favorites to keep you journeying in style, from beauty necessities to airplane gadgets to all kinds of gizmos in between. But do you have the perfect bag (or bags) to put it all in? If not, have no fear: One of Amazon's hottest luggage duos, the U.S. Traveler Rio Expandable Carry-on Luggage Set, is up to 35% off right now and has more than 18,000 perfect five-star ratings from a wide variety of jet setters.
Not only am I a fan of Ina Garten's approachable recipes, I also love checking out her gorgeous kitchen and cookware. Some of her go-tos are admittedly out of my price range, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover this super-affordable skillet, a longtime favorite of mine, is also a staple in her kitchen.
This pan can be used on all cooktops, is oven-safe and can even be placed over a grill or open flame. Lodge pieces are so durable, people often pass them down to younger generations. I've had mine for about 10 years, but it works just as well as the day I got it, if not better. Not bad for just 16 bucks!
Another thing I love about this pan? It's made of iron and oil — no PFOAs or PTFEs, which gives me peace of mind about cooking without "forever chemicals." No wonder it's one of 12 pieces of cookware Garten links to on her website.

It's time to chuck all of your mismatched food storage containers and replace them with this heavily marked-down set. It comes with 12 round and rectangular containers, which are clear so you can easily see their contents. Since they're made of borosilicate glass, the containers are dishwasher-, oven- and microwave-safe (just not the lids), and their airtight silicone seals help prevent leaks.

It might resemble an electric toothbrush, but you'll want to use this little gizmo for busting away messes in the tiny corners and crevices of your home. We're taking bathroom tile grout, fridge gaskets, around faucets — anything you don't feel like cleaning by hand, since it scrubs a whopping 60 times per second! We don't often see it on sale for less than it is now, but we have seen it priced at over $20. And given how much time and energy it'll save you, $17 is a real bargain!
"The Rubbermaid Power Scrubber is amazing!" exclaimed an impressed user. "Not only does it get the water stains out of the tile grout, but it’s small enough to get into the crevices of the shower door and side panels. Black gunk I had never even seen was streaming down, with very little effort from me. Best of all, no pain in my hands from my carpal tunnel syndrome." (Psst: I'm also a fan — check out my full Rubbermaid Reveal Power Scrubber review!)
Treat your tush to the oh-so-refreshing spray of this popular bidet, which allows you to adjust the water pressure to your liking. Not only does it feel nicer than using scratchy toilet paper, it'll also cut down on your TP spending (plus, it's more sanitary than wiping). Everything you need for easy installation is included.

You can pick up this set in a variety of colors, like green (pictured), teal and gray — prices vary based on selection.
You'll be so relieved you had this portable air compressor in the trunk when you realize one tire's looking a little floppy. It takes just minutes to pump it back to normal, and you can do all four on a single charge (though it has a 12V DC adapter just in case). You can also use it on basketballs, bike tires and balloons. It sells out frequently, so snag it while it's down to as low as it ever gets.
This No. 1 bestselling, TikTok-famous compact carpet cleaner packs a punch, especially considering it weighs less than 10 pounds! Its powerful suction can be used to remove stains not just from rugs, but furniture and even car upholstery, too. Plus, it comes with a self-cleaning hose tool and a bottle of Bissell's Spot & Stain with Febreeze. We haven't seen this viral cleaner priced much lower than it currently is in years (it was only a few bucks cheaper back in July for Prime Day) — and when you consider how much money it'll save you in professional cleaning bills (and replacement furniture), it'll pay for itself in just a few uses.
"The K2 has saved me so much hassle and added hours back into my week," says our resident vacuum expert, Home & Garden Writer Kristin Granero. "Having a vacuum that can clean under my feet while I'm working from home or napping on my couch is a non-negotiable for me. The Okp K2 has proven to be quiet enough to get the job done without rousing me from sleep and without letting my boss know that Rosie the Robot is cleaning around me during video chats.
"Despite being so quiet, it packs 1800Pa of power and a HEPA filter for effectively picking up human and pet hair, dirt and debris (bonus: improved air quality). It's also incredibly versatile, designed for hardwood floors and rugs, with four different settings for added customization. The ability to detail edges or spot-treat is especially helpful when I'm in a rush or an area requires extra attention."
Zap it up while you can save 53% (its largest price cut to date). And check out Granero's full review for more.
Groceries are expensive, and preparing overcooked, inedible food is just money down the drain. Avoid that by taking the temperature of your meats, seafood, baked goods and more — doing so helps ensure everything is perfectly (and safely) cooked. This popular gadget (over 8,000 were purchased this month) provides a reading in seconds, so grab one before your next cookout. It's currently within $3 of its lowest price on record, FYI...
"It’s been a game-changer in my kitchen!" exclaimed a happy home cook. "It’s incredibly easy to use, giving me precise readings in just a few seconds, which has made cooking meat so much less stressful. I love the instant-read feature — no more guessing or cutting into my food to check if it’s done. The display is bright and easy to read, even when I’m grilling outside. I’ve tested it on everything from chicken to steak, and the results have been spot-on every time. Plus, it’s durable and easy to clean, which is always a bonus."
Amazon's No. 1 selling vegetable slicer can help you cut onions without crying, make a salad fast and even grate cheese — get it while it's over 40% off. It comes with four interchangeable blades so you can use it to slice and dice all of your produce, as well as cheese and cooked meats for salads, soups, sandwiches, eggs and more. The attached storage container can hold up to 4 cups and is especially great for small spaces, because you don't have to make room for a cutting board.
"Since buying this chopper, I have chopped all my produce and stored it in small containers in the refrigerator — pounds of onions, peppers, turnips, and carrots," said one meal-prepper. "But beware, when the instructions say not to touch the blades — they are sharp. Trust me, they are sharp!"
This top-selling plug-in uses UV light to attract bugs, then traps them on a sneaky glue board (don't worry, it's hidden so you don't have to stare at dead flies all day).
"They work! And very well," said a happy reviewer. "Great design that doesn’t detract from your decor, be it kitchen or elsewhere. The traps face the wall, so no unsightly insects revealed for all to see."
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.
Get ahead of sweaty summer nights with this pair of cooling pillows. Thousands of satisfied sleepers rave about their soft, yet supportive feel, and their breathable down alternative fill helps promote airflow for a more comfortable slumber. According to the brand, they're suited for all sleep styles, whether you tend to rest on your back, stomach or side.
Sleep hot at night? This popular sheet set (126,000-plus perfect ratings) is made from cooling bamboo to keep you comfortable, and it's over 50% off — the best price we've seen, well, ever.
These top-selling double-sided hooks might seem too simple to have such a large impact, but sometimes the most basic designs offer the biggest rewards. With these, you slide the holes of your shower curtain onto one side, the holes of your liner onto the other, and voilà! Now you can just lift your liner off when it's time for a refresh while your curtain remains in place. In the past year, we've only seen this set drop lower in price once (by a dollar!), and given how much struggle they'll save you, $7 seems extremely reasonable. They're nearly 60% off!
"Goodbye, sore arms!" announced a relieved customer. "If you are like me, dealing with the hassle of constantly changing out shower curtain liners and shower curtains is a burn for the arms. Love this product, as it makes changing these out much faster, and it has a modern look as well!"
Let's avoid a tiki torch incident this summer, yeah? These will illuminate your yard, patio or pool area with a warm glow that'll also allow guests to see which flavor of seltzer they're grabbing from the cooler. And feel free to leave them up all year: They're designed to endure harsh weather, be it heavy rain, wind or snow.
This chopper has a high-efficiency motor that handles even thick branches with ease, all while weighing under 3 pounds.
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.
Similar luggage sets from big travel brands can easily set you back upwards of $100 or more — comparatively, you're getting these two quality luggage pieces at a fraction of that price. Plus, this is the best price we've seen on this pair in months. You'll get the best savings with the gray option, but you'll also save on black, camo print and more.
Customers love this pair for so many reasons, not the least of which is that they’re sturdy as heck. Both pieces — a softside, carry-on-sized suitcase and a smaller carry-on bag — are made of rigid 1200D polyester with an EVA-padded front panel for extra reinforcement. And this U.S. Traveler set is so easy to maneuver around that it'll sail through the airport terminal, thanks to reinforced inline skate wheels that have corner protectors, a retractable push-button self-locking handle system that’s also ergonomic, and top and side carry handles for getting that baby in and out of TSA security bins or the trunk of your car.
The smaller carry-on tote has an adjustable and detachable non-slip padded shoulder strap, too, so you won’t feel like your arm is falling off after standing in ticket lines forever. In fact, the suitcase has something called a "piggyback strap," which allows you to easily attach the tote sturdily on top of its big sister.
And as for the packing itself? You won’t have to worry about your belongings showing up a jumbled, wrinkled mess. The U.S. Traveler Rio Luggage Set has a fully lined interior with tie-down straps and large interior mesh zipper pockets, so all of your stuff will be compartmentalized and stay right where it belongs, even if it takes a tumble.
More than 18,000 Amazon shoppers have given the U.S. Traveler Rio Expandable Carry-On Luggage Set a flawless five-star rating, with many praising the pair's spaciousness and value.
"I feel 'sleek' moving through the airport so efficiently [with these bags]," said a fan. "The lightweight construction simplifies use of the overhead storage bins. The small travel bag is terrific — very handy to organize small belongings and yet securely attached to the larger bag as I move from gate to gate or grab coffee or negotiate crowded restrooms and people-movers. The lightweight construction also helps when I have to use an escalator."
Another reviewer marveled, "Made it through the airports six times and came home in just as good condition as we left... Held a ton of stuff... I am very pleased with the durability and quality of this piece for a pretty decent price. It did what I needed it to do, and did its job well."
The capacity of each bag shocked this jet-setter: "I was surprised because I could fit seven days worth of outfits with extra clothes without any issues. And with the small bag, I fit a lot of makeup, shampoo/conditioner, body wash, etcetera," they shared.
It's perfectly fine if you like to get a little tipsy on vacation. Your luggage? Not so much. "Unfortunately, when expanded and fully loaded, [the bag] becomes unstable," warned one customer. "If you let the handle go, it will fall forward."
Echoed this shopper: "I like the size of this suitcase. I have taken it on many trips. It fits in the overhead bin of almost every plane out there. The biggest challenge is that when it is loaded, it tips over — it will not stand upright on its own. For me, this is a minor issue most of the time. Being easy to carry on a plane was more important."
