Daily Deals

What we like: Our top outdoor smart plug pick. Independently controllable dual outlets. Features like Schedules, Away Mode, and sunrise/sunset Routines were painless to set. IP65 weather-resistance rating. Operating temperature range of -4 to 122 °F.

Other things to know: Works with Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, Matter (with a compatible hub), and Samsung SmartThings. Only tracks device run time. Free My Best Buy membership required for free shipping, otherwise opt for store pickup.

What we like: Our top home Bluetooth speaker pick. Small and simple. Produces a room-filling sound and a surprisingly satisfying amount of bass. Has tasteful styling that should please everyone. Even more sleek and simple than previous models, and adds a USB-C digital input. The app gives you a three-band equalizer to fine-tune the sound quality.

Other things to know: Does not have a play/pause button on the unit itself; you have to control playback through your Bluetooth source device. Deal on black with clipped on-page coupon.

What we like: Our upgrade meat thermometer pick. The fastest and most accurate instant-read model we tested. Bright backlit rotating screen. Wide temperature range. Waterproof. Buttonless and completely automatic. Comes in a rainbow of colors.

Other things to know: Retail price has recently gone up. Few recipes demand instant, to-the-degree accuracy. The switch to change between Celsius and Fahrenheit is inconveniently located inside the battery compartment. Deal for magenta, lime, and light blue only. Shipping is free.

What we like: Another neck fan worth considering if you don't want or need the fun LED-lighting that our top pick has. Essentially indistinguishable from our top pick. A simple but effective cooling device. Especially easy to use.

Other things to know: Lightning deal for the white color.

What we like: Our favorite coffee maker for car camping. Brews cleanly and offers better insulation than other portable presses we tested.

Other things to know: Looks a bit unwieldy on a normal kitchen counter, and is harder to clean than home models. Brushed stainless steel finish. 48-ounce model is $28 shipped with code WILD.

What we like: Our top wireless noise-cancelling earbuds pick. Small but powerful. Sound fantastic. Eight hours of battery life. Features include a simple hear-through mode, Alexa and Google voice-activation, dual-device connectivity, and noise-reducing microphones.

Other things to know: Includes four sizes of tips, but may still prove challenging to keep in place for folks with small ears or who are very active. No wired mode.

What we like: Our top APS-C normal prime lens from our guide to the first Nikon Z-mount lenses you should buy. Equivalent to a 45mm prime lens with a field of view similar to our full-frame pick. Great build quality, sharp pictures, and great bokeh.

Other things to know: Best option since Nikon doesn't currently offer a wide-aperture normal prime for APS-C Z cameras. Some chromatic aberration at widest aperture settings, but fixable in edits.

What we like: Our runner-up pick for the best cheap coffee maker. Reliably brews good coffee. Has some of the most useful features of all the cheap coffee makers we tested, including a self-clean function and user control of the hot plate’s holding temperature.

Other things to know: Water tank was the hardest to fill in our tests, with measurements that are nearly impossible to read. Three-year warranty, the longest of any model we tested. Price reflects in cart. Deal for the black stainless steel finish.

What we like: Another down jacket worth considering in men's sizes. Inexpensive, yet stylish. Large inner and outer pockets. Slim fit looks good and is easy to layer under. Comparable to our budget pick, but more fitted.

Other things to know: Comes in tall and regular sizes. The 650-fill-power down is warm, but feathers quickly emerged from the seams, indicating a lack of long-term durability. Deal available in gray in all sizes.

What we like: Our standing desk pick for tall-ish folks and small spaces. Comes with a compact, 36-by-24-inch desktop. Has a two-tier lifting column that’s ideal for people between 5-foot-8 and 6-foot-5. 10-year warranty and 275-pound lift capacity offers peace of mind regarding its long-term durability.

Other things to know: Even our 5-foot-tall panelists and a panelist in an electric wheelchair said they could adjust it to their liking. Only comes in five laminate finishes. On sale in several finish and base combinations. Doesn’t offer nearly as many customizable features as our Uplift and Fully picks. Control paddle can be clunky to use. Use code BFCM to get the deal price on the compact 36-by-24-inch size. The 48" size is discounted to $510.

What we like: Our upgrade pick for the best beach bag is waterproof, tough-as-nails, and ideal for wet gear. Puncture-resistant shell withstands abuse from plastic toys. Bag stands upright even while empty. After years of testing Yeti gear, we can’t deny how long-lasting and tough it almost always is.

Other things to know: A touch larger than our top pick but similar capacity. Its interior pockets are zippered, though, and zippers don’t play well with sand. On sale in 11 colors with free Public Lands membership (single-use coupon reflects in cart).

What we like: This telescoping-handle cooler is worth it at this price (but only at this price). Design is similar to carry-on luggage. Durable wheels. Change in center of gravity may make it easier to maneuver than our top rolling cooler pick, the Yeti Tundra, in some situations.

Other things to know: In our cooler guide's competition section. Typically pricier than our top pick. Holds 76 cans (versus the Tundra's 82-can capacity). Comes with a dry-goods basket. On sale in seven colors. Single-use coupon reflects in cart for Public Lands members (free to join).

What we like: The best Google Nest smart speaker for streaming music and also our top pick for a Google smart home assistant. Noticeably richer audio experience than the smaller Google Nest speaker. Can be paired for a stereo set or used with other Google speakers for multiroom audio.

Other things to know: On par with the Amazon Echo. Sound is good but nothing special. Just under 7 inches tall and with a slim, 3-inch base. Has a physical switch on the back to turn the microphone off, and tap controls on either side to control volume. Available in charcoal and white.

What we like: A good roto-molded cooler we like as an alternative to our top pick. Universally recognized, often coveted brand. Well-made, just like our pick, and, built to resist hungry bears when used with the proper locks.

Other things to know: Only has a five-year warranty. Comes with an interior rack to keep small items dry. On sale in 11 colors. Single-use 20%-off coupon reflects in cart when signed in with Public Lands membership (free to join).

What we like: Our carry-on luggage pick for tough conditions. Polycarbonate back and rugged two-wheel design are ideal for rougher travel over difficult surfaces. Well-organized and a pleasure to pack. Easy-to-repair parts.

Other things to know: Somewhat unwieldy to handle. Weather-resistant, but not waterproof. Front-facing laptop organizer is unshielded. Limited three-year warranty. Single-use 20%-off coupon reflects in cart when signed in with Public Lands membership (free to join).

What we like: Another air fryer worth considering if you want a lighter basket. Large, 5-quart square basket weighs around 2 pounds when empty, the lightest of any full-size air fryer we tested. Has sleek design with an easy-to-use interface, loud "shake" reminder, and good performance for the price.

Other things to know: Our former budget pick. Like most pod-shaped air fryers, isn't great at cooking evenly. Preprogrammed settings aren't very accurate. Removable tray tends to fall out when transferring food to plate. On sale in gray.

What we like: The best Android smartwatch for Google users. Sleek design. More health and fitness features—like Bedtime Mode and Morning Brief—and deeper integration with other Google products than its predecessor. Runs Google’s latest Wear OS 5 software.

Other things to know: 45 mm version has a bigger screen and slightly longer 36-hour battery life. Domed glass screen is more prone to damage than other smartwatches with metal bezels, and there are no repair options. Deal is for the 41 mm, Wi-Fi model in matte black, champagne gold and polished silver.

What we like: An opportunity to save on the purchase of Wirecutter picks at Ulta Beauty. Essentially $10 of free money if you already shop at Ulta. We recommend a variety of affordable makeup, skin care, and other beauty products that can be found on Ulta.com—everything from eyeliner to tweezers.

Other things to know: One discount per customer. Usable for the purchase goods or services at Ulta Beauty stores or at Ulta.com. Not redeemable at Ulta Beauty at Target or on Target.com.
