Target’s Cyber Monday deals are officially here. Much like Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and loads of other retailers, Target is giving shoppers the chance to save for the holiday season. And the best part is that many of these prices are likely to remain the same through today. Even if prices do fall, Target has a way for you to save even if you buy now.
Just like previous years, Target is matching prices throughout the holiday season. If anything you buy in stores or online goes on sale for less through Dec. 24, just reach out to customer service in stores or online and the company will refund you the difference. (So save your receipts!)
There are so many sales to sift through that Consumer Reports’ experts are bringing you the highlights. We’ve found some great prices on a handful of products tested in our labs and homes that offer good value and good quality. If you don’t see what you’re looking for right now, don’t worry. We expect to see plenty of opportunities to save throughout the remainder of the year, and we’ll be updating this page as well as CR’s Deals Hub with the latest discounts.
Stand Mixers
The less expensive KitchenAid Classic Series K45SSWH matches the performance of other KitchenAids in our ratings test for test, meaning it excels at mixing, kneading, and whipping, and does it all quietly. The 10-speed mixer comes with a 5-quart stainless steel bowl (without a handle), flat beater, dough hook, and wire whisk. It’s compatible with all KitchenAid attachments, so you can branch out from baking into making more savory foods, such as sausage and pasta. It weighs 21 pounds. Unlike some KitchenAids, this model comes only in white and black.
KitchenAid’s artisan series is a bump up from its classic line. The 10-speed KitchenAid Artisan Series KSM195PSBK comes with the usual attachments plus a pastry beater, a bowl shield to prevent splatters, and an extra 3-quart bowl for smaller jobs. The standard-issue stainless bowl is 5 quarts. In our tests, this mixer aced our tasks for whipping cream and mixing cookie dough and was almost as good at kneading bread dough. It works quietly, and our testers found it very convenient to change the beaters and clean. It weighs 21 pounds and has a tilt-head, so you’ll need some clearance between the counter and the cabinets. Bonus: You have your choice of 10 colors.
Another standout from KitchenAid, the KitchenAid Artisan KSM150PSER churned through our tests impressively, getting top marks on whipping heavy cream and mixing cookie dough, and doing a competent job at kneading bread dough. It’s quiet and convenient, so you won’t have to struggle to get the beaters and other attachments in and out. The head tilts back, so account for clearance on your counter. It weighs 21 pounds and has a 5-quart stainless steel bowl with a handle for easy removal.
The Ninja DualBrew Pro 12-Cup is a dual coffee maker that can brew both ground coffee and K-cup pods. That means it can brew all of 13 preset quantities of coffee, from large servings of coffee in a carafe (from coffee grounds) to individual brew sizes (from either grounds or K-cups). Our tests do show that its first-cup speed is excellent, and it’s pretty quick to brew follow-up cups, too. It performs very well in our overall brew tests, though it’s a little inconsistent in temperature when it comes to single servings of coffee. But it offers four brew styles, including settings for brewing over ice and for brewing pods of tea, and it has a built-in milk frother (though if you want your milk frothed hot, you’ll have to heat the milk yourself first).
Toaster Ovens
Breville The Compact Smart Oven BOV650XL does quite well in our toasting tests but isn’t the strongest at reheating or baking. It does, however, find redemption in its ease of cleaning. In addition to traditional functions like baking, broiling, and toasting, it has presets for making pizza, baking cookies, toasting bagels, and roasting. CR members have found Breville to be quite reliable, garnering strong scores for both owner satisfaction and predicted reliability in our latest member survey on toaster ovens.
Air Fryers
The electronic controls and programmed settings on the Ninja AF101 are among the easiest to see and use, respectively, earning high ratings in our assessments. Cleaning the inside and outside is fairly simple and the measured capacity of this model is just about average at 3 quarts. Bear in mind that this model runs on the noisy side, with the fan as loud as a countertop microwave.
Smart and Bluetooth Speakers
The Amazon Echo Pop is the perfect way to test out a smart speaker in your home at a low cost. It’s 50 percent off right now, matching the lowest price we’ve seen for a smart speaker from the Echo family. The sound quality leaves a lot to be desired, so it may not be ideal if you’re looking primarily for music playback. But if you are more excited about adding smart functionality to any room in your house, this may fit the bill.
The latest orblike Amazon Echo tops its predecessor, the classic cylindrical Echo, in a number of important ways. The sonics are significantly improved, with a strong but slightly boomy bass and enough volume to fill a midsized room. Our testers also found that two Echo speakers sound good when paired in stereo, delivering you-are-there appeal.
The Charge 5 delivers satisfying sound quality and enough volume to fill a midsized room. It’s easy to use, too. According to JBL, it’s also dust- and water-resistant (claims that CR doesn’t test). It’s less versatile than its predecessor, though, lacking an aux input for plugging in an external device and the microphone that allows the Charge 4 to function as a speakerphone.
More Tech Devices
The Roku Express 4K+ player replaces the Roku Premiere, and like that model it’s a small set-top box that offers 4K picture quality, plus support for both HDR10 and HDR10+ high dynamic range formats, though not Dolby Vision, which is found in some pricier models. Compared with the Premiere, it has a faster processor and dual-band WiFi, plus more storage, which the company says will help speed up channel start times.
As with the Chromecast above, this model has also gone up $5 since Cyber Monday.
This is among the best discounts we’ve seen on this well-rated, full-featured, all-in-one Dolby Atmos soundbar. Like with other Sonos models, you can use its Trueplay calibration technology to adjust the sound to the room’s acoustics, but that requires the use of an Apple (iOS) mobile device. The soundbar has Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant built in for voice commands and it’s also compatible with Apple AirPlay.
The Quiet Comfort Ultra is Bose’s new top-of-the-line noise-canceling headphone. Our testers say it doesn’t represent an improvement over its highly rated predecessor, the Noise-canceling 700. The model doesn’t sound bad exactly, but it lacks the sonic clarity you’d expect from a high-priced headphone.
Air Purifiers
The portable Blue Pure 211i Max does a terrific job removing dust, pollen, and smoke on its higher setting, but expect a bit of noise. Try it on low, and you’ll have more quiet while still experiencing top-notch results. This model is designed for use in a large space of 350 to 650 square feet and costs about $109 a year to maintain. It also weighs just 17 pounds, making it easy to move around.
The kid sister to the 211i Max, Blueair’s 411i Max has a similar design, but for a smaller space—CR recommends a medium room or less. The portable air purifier delivers impressive results on its higher speed, and as with many air purifiers, it’s less effective on the lower speed. A true selling point is its relatively low annual operating cost and the fact that CR members are highly satisfied with their Blueairs. If you’re looking for an even cheaper option for a smaller room, the Pure 511 is another three-speed model that performs reasonably well in our tests.
Baby Products
The Evenflo Shyft DualRide converts from a stroller to a car seat by a folding mechanism, which means you don’t need to deal with a separate stroller and car seat. The stroller scores strongly in our tests for safety, and we found it easy to use and very maneuverable as a stroller. At 20 pounds, it’s a little heavy when it comes to transfers in and out of the car, and it doesn’t have the handy one-hand fold that some strollers do. But it has a removable carry bag (instead of a storage basket), a cupholder, and a height-adjustable handle—and it meets Disney parks’ stroller size requirements.

Made of two layers of gel memory foam, Tempur-Pedic’s Tempur-Cloud Breeze Dual Cooling Pillow is the most expensive pillow we’ve tested. It’s top notch when it comes to side-sleeper support but only middling for back-sleeper support. In our resilience test, this pillow successfully maintained its shape. Despite having “breeze” in its name, the pillow doesn’t allow for much airflow, so you may get sweaty sleeping on it. Only the cover is machine-washable.
Therabody Theragun Mini (4th Gen)
The ultraportable Theragun Mini was one of the quietest massage devices we tested. It has a wedge-shaped handle and is one of the best devices for reducing problematic wrist postures. “I like the fact that it is small to hold, and I love how easy it is to use and charge. It’s compact and easily transportable,” said one user in a study conducted by CR. For overall portability and quietness, this could be a top choice.
SodaStream Terra Sparkling Water Maker (Red) with CO2, DWS Bottle and Bubly Drop
We found the highly rated SodaStream Terra’s “quick connect” snap-on mounting for CO₂ cartridges easier to use than the older, screw-in setups of other SodaStream models. (The new, pink cartridges you’ll need for this unit cost the same and can carbonate the same volume as the older cartridges.) The Terra needs no electricity to work. This package includes one pink CO₂ cartridge and one carbonating bottle.
The top-scoring ultrasonic Babymoov Hygro (+), which CR recommends for small rooms, is top-notch in overall performance. It is intended to humidify areas up to 215 square feet. Our testers give it excellent scores for its overall moisture output, convenience, noise, energy efficiency, and output when using hard water. For a price that’s relatively high for a small-room humidifier, you get a built-in humidistat that earns a very good rating for measuring room humidity. Other pluses: It glows in the dark, and indicates and then shuts off when it’s empty.
The Keurig K-Mini Plus has been on sale for months, but we include it because it’s only available at this price at Target. It’s more expensive everywhere else. is a great little Keurig brewer that’s ideal for small kitchens with limited counter space. In our tests, it receives strong scores for temperature and size consistency between cups, as well as how easy it is to use and clean. It features a removable reservoir, a height-adjustable drip tray, and auto-shutoff.
The dual-layer Casper Comfy adds a layer of softer foam to a firmer foam base. At only 20 pounds, the mattress topper is fairly easy to move around and the machine-washable zip-off cover (made of polyester, cotton, rayon, and spandex) makes it a cinch to clean. But the topper can’t be flipped.
