How does a Dyson canister vacuum discounted by an impressive $150 sound? How about a cordless Shark stick vac or Roomba for an all-time low price? Maybe you could use a speedy air fryer — well, we’ve found a top-rated Ninja marked down to just $69. A queen mattress for under $200 might sound too good to be true (it’s not!), and if you’ve been meaning to up your home security, we spotted a Ring video doorbell at 40% off.

There’s a whole lot more — and we Yahoo shopping editors would know. We search for the best deals day in and day out, so we’re clued into what separates a stellar sale from a so-so one. Not all Labor Day deals are worth you taking a break from that burger, which is why we’ve been busy checking price histories and comparing retailers to find the very best of them.

(Psst: Be sure to check out our roundups of the best Labor Day deals at Amazon and Walmart for even more savings.)

Walmart

Attention, pet parents: Before you call your local carpet cleaning service, you’ll want to check out this little wonder from Bissell. The bestseller was designed with pet stains in mind, but it’s effective on dirt and other messes as well. At under 10 pounds, it’s easy to take from room to room, and its strong spray and suction capabilities will have you wondering why you considered replacing every rug in your home. (Just ask the more than 8,000 Walmart customers who gave it a perfect rating.) This price is about as low as we’ve ever seen it. 

$88 at Walmart

Shark

You’re not gonna need a bigger boat — er, shopping cart — for this Shark, cuz it weighs in at under 4 pounds. You’re getting a sleek stick vac and handheld in one, meaning it’s equally useful for zapping up dust from your floor as it is for cleaning furniture, stairs and even the interior of your car. Plus, you can’t beat its cordless design — isn’t having to find a new outlet every time you switch rooms the worst part of vacuuming? This is as low as we’ve ever seen it on sale for, FYI…

Check out our roundup of the best cordless stick vacuums for more.

A top-selling Roomba that’s down to just $180 — its lowest price ever? We’ll take two! This gizmo will zap up all of that dust and debris on your floor while you relax on the sofa — nothing wrong with that. It runs for up to 120 minutes before heading back to its charging dock, and you can even schedule cleanings via the app.

This powerful 7-pounder tackles pet hair, crumbs and that dreaded beach sand like it’s nothing, according to our resident vacuum tester, Kristin Granero. She awarded it the title of “best cordless stick vacuum” in her roundup, saying it “hit the sweet spot in our testing for a sleek vacuum that offers solid performance, along with some snazzy features, at a competitive price.”

She went on to praise its narrow brush head that “swivels like a dream” and described it as “lightweight” and “incredibly quiet — enough that it probably wouldn’t wake a sleeping baby.” You’ll be able to see dirt hiding in dark spaces, thanks to its headlights, and it even has a dust sensor that’ll automatically adjust the power depending on how much extra cleaning oomph is required. As for suction? Granero called it “superb,” saying it was a champ at “mowing down faux fur, sand, kitty litter, rice and cereal with ease.” It’s only ever dipped lower than its current price during Prime Day. 

$210 at Amazon

Walmart

Been dyin’ to try a Dyson? You won’t do much better than this clever ball vac, which automatically returns to its upright position should it get knocked over. Not to mention, its Turbinehead knows how to position itself depending on the surface it’s cleaning to increase suction, and you’ll get four tools for tackling different spaces in your home. Plus, its washable lifetime filter means you won’t have to shell out for replacements. 

$200 at Walmart

Walmart

Of course, if it’s a Dyson stick vac you want, a Dyson stick vac you can get — and for a not-so-shabby $140 discount. What sets this model apart is the detangling Motorbar (got pet hair?) and whole-machine filtration system for trapping pesky airborne allergens. It also converts into a handheld for sucking up debris from stairs and furniture.

Bring your crispy, crunchy culinary dreams to life with this Walmart bestseller. It can roast, reheat and dehydrate, all in one machine — and with little to no oil.

I own this multi-use, nonstick beauty, and it just might become your most-utilized piece of cookware, thanks to its thoughtful design. It took the internet by storm a few years ago and quickly became a favorite of home cooks and celebrities alike. (Selena Gomez did a collaboration with the brand, and Oprah has called it “the kitchen magician.”)

Its ceramic coating is slick and free of PFAS, while the handle smartly doubles as a spoon rest. Speaking of utensils, it comes with a wooden spatula and metal steamer basket that can be used as a colander, and it’s oven-safe up to 450°F for added versatility. It’s not often on sale, so grab it while it’s $40 off!

Henckels has been crafting knives for over a century, so the brand knows a thing or two about what makes a quality set. At nearly 60% off, this top-seller comes with just about every type of blade a home cook could need: a 3-inch paring knife, 5-inch serrated utility knife, 7-inch santoku knife, 8-inch chef’s knife and 8-inch bread knife. Also included: six 4.5-inch steak knives, a professional honing steel, kitchen shears and a hardwood knife block. Whew! 

This collection is majorly marked down from its list price of $345, though we’ve never actually seen it shoot that high. Still, this is a stellar price for a comprehensive set with such high ratings.

I used to bake for a living, and my trusty KitchenAid stand mixer is my go-to appliance. Cake batters, cookie doughs, breads, frostings, meringues — you name it, I’ve probably made it using this mighty machine. Unlike flimsier mixers, this one is built to last (there’s a reason KitchenAids are often passed down from one generation to the next). 

At 4.5 quarts, it can hold enough dough to make up to eight dozen cookies at a time, though it won’t take up much room in your kitchen. Oh, and you’ll get a beater, dough hook and whisk attachments for making practically any baked good under the sun. While this isn’t the lowest price we’ve seen it on sale for, we’ll happily take a $50 discount. 

$280 at Amazon

HexClad

Gordon Ramsay approves of this brand, and you know how particular the celebrity chef is. The pans’ hybrid construction combines the best qualities of stainless steel, cast iron and nonstick for a one-of-a-kind product that, according to Ramsay, “is highly versatile and cooks exceptionally well.” They’re made of aluminum sandwiched between stainless steel for expert heat conduction and distribution, and their nonstick interiors make them a breeze to clean. Plus, the signature hexagonal etching helps encourage browning. 

With this starter set, you’ll get a Hybrid pan, pot and lids for each. Bonus? You’ll also get an 8-inch chef’s knife as a free gift with your purchase. Not too bad for over 40% off…

QVC

You’ll feel like you have your own personal smoothie shop with this best-in-class blender. Boasting a 2-horsepower motor, it’ll effortlessly blitz ice and frozen fruit, though you could also use it for whizzing up sauces or even grinding meat. From soup to nuts (as in, homemade nut butters), this workhorse will level up your meal prep like no other — and this is the best price we’re seeing at the moment.

If your yard’s in need of some heavy-duty pruning, this small but mighty chainsaw is powerful enough to take down tree branches, yet weighs under 2.5 pounds. To make things even more convenient, the No. 1 bestseller and Yahoo reader favorite is cordless. Overgrown shrubs, you’ve met your match. This deal drops the price to $40, which is as low as we’ve ever seen it.

Adirondack chairs can cost a pretty penny, so when we see one that’s marked down — especially when it’s nearly 50% off, like this one — we pounce!
