If you’re here, you love a good bargain, and I’m the perfect person to help you find one. I spend every day combing through page after page of retailer sites, checking prices of everything we test here at Consumer Reports. So I know right away when something is at a better discount than usual.
A deal isn’t just about the size of the discount. I’ve chosen these products because they’re not only at great prices, but they’re also top performers in our lab tests and home evaluations. I’m a firm believer in a good deal starting with a high-quality product, so that’s always the No. 1 factor in determining whether something is worth your money. Price is obviously important, too, so I’m taking into account the average price, the typical discounts, and how often an item goes on sale when I determine how impressive a deal really is.
There are other items on sale as well, so if you want to keep hunting for more discounts, head over to the CR Deals Hub, where I share the top offers on everything CR tests, including tech devices like headphones and TVs, kitchen appliances like air fryers and stand mixers, and home goods like air purifiers and lawn care tools.

The Bose Soundlink Max is at its best price in months. It’s a modestly sized portable that delivers. The sound quality is satisfying with deep, impactful bass, though our testers found that the sound can become harsh at high volumes.
Skincare Fridge
Frigidaire 9-Can Mini Beauty Lighted Mirror Fridge
Want a skincare fridge that can hold all your products—and for under $40? This model from Frigidaire is all you need. It can fit up to nine 12-ounce soda cans, while most of the others we tried could only fit six, which means you’ll have plenty of room for nearly everything (a 13.5-ounce micellar water bottle doesn’t quite fit). The shelf height is adjustable, and there’s space on the door to stash things like sheet masks, pimple patches, and beauty rollers. Its door even doubles as an LED light mirror.
Sodamaker
Ninja Thirsti Drink System and Soda Machine
This brilliant machine wins our praise not only because it makes reliably sparkly water that lasts (not a feat every machine accomplished in our tests) but also because it is exceedingly easy to use, despite how customizable it is. You fill the water reservoir with water and ice, place a cup beneath the dispenser, and then choose how much seltzer you want and how bubbly you want it before pressing “Start.” We also like that the machine’s three bubbliness settings take the guesswork out of making seltzer if you have a particular level of carbonation in mind.
The Keurig K-Supreme is back down to the same low we saw for Prime Day. It’s a top performer when it comes to first-cup speed, size consistency, and convenience. It also delivers subsequent cups quickly after the first, important if you plan to serve multiple cups. Its settings let you easily adjust the brew’s strength. Like many K-Cup machines, this coffee maker’s features include auto-shutoff, a removable reservoir, and a height-adjustable drip tray.
Hair Dryer Brush
Revlon One-Step Volumizer Hair Dryer and Styler
The Revlon One-Step Volumizer is beloved for a reason: It just works. One tester shared this pro tip to achieve the best results: Keep tension on the hair and work in smaller sections. Otherwise, you may end up with a head full of frizz. At 40 percent off, this is a steal.
This Microsoft Surface laptop is at the lowest price we’ve seen all year. The last time it dipped nearly this low was back in March when it reached $943, and only Amazon has this price. This 13.8-inch "Copilot+" model features a touchscreen display and Microsoft’s latest AI integration, but the real star here is the build quality—the keyboard and trackpad are best-in-class. If you want a premium Windows experience that feels sturdy, looks sleek, and wakes up instantly, this is the machine to get.
The Instant Vortex 4 Plus Air Fryer 4QT is a standout for the legibility of its digital controls, relatively low noise levels, and ease of cleaning. What’s more, its square basket design makes it easy to fit in a small Pyrex dish or baking pan—great for turning out sweet treats. The measured 3-quart model has a 1-year warranty.
Google’s newest smart thermostat, the Nest Learning Thermostat 4th gen, comes with a remote temperature sensor that you can place in another room to balance heating and cooling. It’s one of just a few Matter-compatible smart thermostats on the market, meaning it works with any major smart home system, including Apple Home.
The Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 was nearly $100 more just two weeks ago This is a premium 2-in-1 with a 360-degree hinge that lets you rotate the screen for use as a traditional laptop or a tablet, knocking out a report at your desk or sketching notes on the couch. The bundled stylus is handy for handwriting and drawing. Thin, light, and built to last a full workday away from an outlet, this is the sort of machine that earns its keep if you’re frequently on the move or travel for work. It sits at the higher end of our laptop ratings, so you’re paying for the flexibility and the display quality.
