Left to your own devices, you won't be able to plug them all in at once. Seeking an outlet for your frustration? How about nine? (Amazon)(Amazon)
There's not an outlet in my home that isn't filled, at least some of the time, with a lamp, appliance or charger — cameras, computers, phones — of some kind. In fact, I considered switching many of my outlets from two receptacles to four, plus a USB port, until I saw the price tag: $50 a pop. Ouch. How about a cheaper solution? That's where the Qinliaf 5-Outlet Extender comes in: Instead of two outlets, you get five, plus four USB ports. And you get that all for $10, down from $12.
Apple's AirTag is one of the most powerful trackers you can get as an iPhone user. Simply connect it to your phone and use it to keep track of what matters — luggage, a purse, an expensive bike. You can also activate Lost Mode, which makes it play a loud sound. Grab this four-pack to put one in each family member's suitcase the next time you travel.
"I recently purchased an Apple AirTag, and I have to say, it's a game-changer for someone like me who tends to misplace things," said one user. "Setting it up was a breeze — just a few taps on my iPhone, and it was ready to go. The precision finding feature is fantastic; it leads you right to your lost item with directions and haptic feedback, which feels like magic. I've attached one to my keychain and slipped another into my backpack, and so far, they've saved me a ton of time and frustration."
These are among Apple's most recent releases (launched in September 2024) and are also some of the most affordable AirPods you'll find. At under $120, these earbuds boast personalized audio settings, are sweat- and water-resistant and last up to 30 hours on a single charge. Did we mention they're just $1 shy of their all-time low price?
"I decided to upgrade from my AirPods 2 and I'm impressed!" one fan wrote. "Sound quality is great! Wow! They don't feel like they're going to fall out of my ears and [are] very comfortable."
Never fight with your family over outlets again. This electrifying gadget boasts five AC outlets and four USB ports, enough for everyone to charge their devices all at once. Oh, and it's much sleeker than having a power strip on your floor.
Top-rated Sony wireless headphones for just $38? We're listening! At nearly 40% off, this is one of the best prices we've seen this year.
Ready for some Apple picking? Yes, we realize it's not fall, but you'll want to pluck this bad boy from the ol' Amazon tree and add it to your cart because it's currently down to its all-time lowest price — and this is the most recent version of this model!
As the unofficial Goldilocks of tech (less bulky than a laptop but larger than a smartphone), this tablet keeps you connected on the go or at home, and you can use it for everything from reading books to taking notes to watching videos.
Our tech editor named this the "best tablet for 2024" owing to its "under-the-hood improvements, including a faster processor, more RAM (4GB instead of 3GB), Bluetooth 5.0 (up from 4.2) and a USB-C charging port."

This innovative design gives you five outlets — two on each side and one in the middle — along with three USB-A ports and one USB-C port.
This model, powered by Apple's ultra-fast M3 chip, was released this year, so we're surprised to find it on sale — especially at a $255 discount (its lowest price ever).
It's also one of the thinnest and lightest laptops you'll find, so can you really go wrong?
This outlet extender is already marked down a couple of bucks, but the real benefit comes from how it gives you so much more usable outlet space than a standard wall outlet. It's also cheaper than most power strips, and it takes up less space. That makes it a worthwhile deal even at full price and a no-brainer on sale.
Think about your most-used devices. What shape are their power cords? If they block more than a single outlet when you plug them in (looking at you, Google smart devices and Apple laptops), then you need an extender like this to make full use of the outlet.
Not only does this gadget provide more space, but it has a surge-protection circuit to guard your devices from unexpected changes in power. The Qinliaf Extender also detects the kind of device plugged into it and provides the appropriate amount of power, preventing problems with over-voltage.
With four built-in USB chargers (including a USB-C for newer gizmos) you never have to spend another minute finding a charger block. Just grab a cable, plug it in and you're good to go whether you're charging your phone, headphones or smartwatch.
Best of all, there's no installation required, so you don't have to worry about cutting drywall to install something like these pricey four-outlet receptacles I was eyeing. The Qinlianf is so inexpensive and easy to use that I put my money where my mouth (err…keyboard?) is and bought four more before writing this.
This fast-selling outlet extender has over 73,000 five-star reviews.
"I've bought a number of outlet expanders over the years and the early ones were terrible. Big, bulky, ugly and only added an extra outlet spot or two," said one fan. The Qinliaf, they continued, "is much more advanced, attractive and powerful than any other I have tried. ... Admittedly, I have not used the USB-C outlet yet, but I have chargers and cords plugged into pretty much all of the other outlets including an Amazon Echo, chargers for a tablet, iPad, cell phone and portable speaker."
"Tested for a year ... works perfectly," said another buyer. "It is trim enough to work behind furniture. Also, when lightning struck our neighborhood, the surge protection saved my computer, modem and router." (Phew!)
One homeowner pointed out that "this was an easy way to upgrade the outlets in our home without having to replace the receptacle. Not only does it allow us to plug in our USB devices but gives us more outlets for lamps, TV, media devices, etc. Very handy and seems to provide adequate USB power."
Customer criticisms are fairly minor. "[The] only small downside is the bright green 'working' light," said this shopper. "It's a bit bright for something right by my bed. I wish it were red (easier on night vision), but at least it's not blue (harsh for sleeping) so overall quite satisfied."
A final fan noted, "The only downside is that it has a 1,000-watt limit, which means this shouldn't be used in the kitchen where most appliances would exceed this limit." (Safety first!)
