Multiple Forbes Vetted editors own this portable carpet and upholstery cleaner and say it’s a game changer—especially if you have pets. The machine’s price fluctuates fairly often, but any time you see it on sale for $100 you can feel like you’re getting a decent deal. That said, it sold for $82 during Prime Day in July, so consider holding out for next month if you want to get it for the absolute best price.

Want a solid pair of earbuds that won’t break the bank? This JBL pair is 40% off, bringing it down to a match for its lowest price ever. The style has amassed over 8,500 five-star reviews from Amazon shoppers.

The Hatch Restore 2 is our top pick for the best sunrise alarm clock and it made our Forbes Vetted Best Product Awards list this year. The clock is customizable, has a robust sound library and a chic aesthetic to boot. This discount has been available since June, so we’ll likely see a steeper drop in the coming months, but it’s still a decent savings if you’ve had your eye on the clock.

The price of this 2024 MacBook Air dropped to $1,449 in early August and has remained relatively constant since. We don’t expect it to be discounted much further between now and the holidays, so now’s a good time to add it to your cart.

Our pick for the best aesthetic bidet, this streamlined design doesn’t offer a ton of features but it does the essentials well and has a sleek, customizable style. Just keep in mind that is doesn’t offer warm water or any pressure adjustments. This deal is one of the best prices we’ve seen on Amazon and beats out the current discount on Tushy’s site.

Popular with dogs that like to curl up, this cozy cuddler-style dog bed is plush and helps pups feel secure while they sleep. This model comes highly rated on Amazon and although this discount is relatively common, its price has yet to drop any further in 2024.

I purchased this book light for my partner and then borrowed it so much we had to buy a second one. The design is lightweight, rechargeable and has an adjustable bulb head with five brightness levels. You can also swap between cool and warm tones. This discount matches the lowest price we’ve seen for the reading light.

Score this popular hair dryer for the lowest price we’ve seen since 2020. Lightweight and made with ceramic components, this dryer heats up and dries your strands quickly. Even when it’s not on sale, the Rusk is a great value hair dryer if you style your hair semi-regularly but aren’t looking to splurge on a luxury model.
