Today’s best sales: AirPods Pro for $199, half off a 4K Fire TV Stick and more

Feel like your AirPods could use an update? The AirPods Pro 2 offer noise-cancellation and a different earbud style that comes with four pairs of silicone tips for a comfier fit. These also have a longer battery life than the originals — up to six hours of listening time with Active Noise Cancellation activated, and up to 30 hours when using the charging case. 

“I just got these as an upgrade from the original AirPods 2nd gen I’ve had for six years,” said one impressed shopper. “I was completely shocked of just how powerful these AirPods Pros are. The noise cancellation was the biggest shock. I activated it for the first time at the train station with the platform near the highway … ALL CARS GO SILENT. You don’t hear anything besides the sounds coming through the AirPods.”

If you’re looking to cut the (cable) cord, the Fire TV Stick is the state-of-the-art 4K streaming sidekick you need. Enjoy content from all of your favorite services (like Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime) with just the touch of a button. And feel free to ask Alexa for movie and TV suggestions if you aren’t quite sure what to watch — the smart assistant is built right into the remote! Plus, the stick plugs right into an HDMI port in the back of your TV, so it’s nice and tidy.

A fan raved, “The picture quality is STUNNING. Watching my favorite shows and movies in 4K is like experiencing them for the first time all over again. The colors are vibrant, the details are crisp and the sound is crystal clear. I’ve watched some of my favorite movies and TV shows in 4K, and I’m blown away by how immersive the experience is.”

This No. 1 bestselling compact driver is small enough to fit into tight spaces without sacrificing power. When you need to know for sure that something is securely attached, you’ll be happy you have this tool — and the two batteries it comes with for plenty of juice. 

One happy home DIY-er said, “Hands down one of the best [purchases] I’ve made for my home toolkit. I should have bought this a long time ago! … The drill is incredibly easy to use, and with its two speed settings, it’s perfect for both indoor and outdoor projects. Whether you’re tackling light home repairs or taking on more heavy-duty tasks, this drill delivers consistent power and performance.”

If you always return home from a hotel stay missing those luxurious pillows, it’s time to treat yourself to a little cozy comfort right at home. These lavish sleepers are filled with a plush down alternative (100% polyester) that’s encased in a soft, moisture-wicking cover.

“These pillows have been super good to me in helping relief the neck/shoulder pains I was experiencing with the pillows I had before,” said one five-star fan. “They’re not high, causing the pains in neck/shoulder area. They feel and are nice quality. They stay cool throughout the night or when I’m napping. They’re comfortable, not too flat, not too puffed. Just right.”

Amazon invented the smart speaker (hey Alexa!), so you can trust that it knows what it’s doing by now. The latest Echo Dot offers great sound for its size, performs an array of functions and regularly costs $50. However, you can currently snag one for over 50% off! 

Yahoo’s Senior Tech Editor, Rick Broida, writes in his review: “I consider the Echo Dot an excellent device, one that’s incredibly useful and versatile. Whether it’s your first foray into smart speakers or simply an extension of an existing smart-home setup, you’ll find it an amazing asset.”

One Amazon shopper who calls the device a “must have” said they have five versions of Alexa all around their house for various tasks. They shared: “In the unlikely event of a fall, I can call a friend or 911 for help, which is a potential lifesaver for people of any age. If I come home after dark, I can ask Alexa to turn on the lights so I don’t walk into a dark house. Alexa does thousands of things to make life easier.”

Looking for a good, portable spot cleaner? Look no further. The compact yet mighty stain and odor eliminator relies on a two-formula system with powerful suction and a range of bristle, pet and crevice tools to target and remove stains and smells. It weighs under 9 pounds and has a handle for easy carrying, making it a great choice for those who live in cozier spaces.

“In my 41 years I have purchased MANY spot cleaners and carpet shampooers, but nothing compares to this item! Hands down the best spot remover/shampooer I have ever used/owned,” raved one fan.

Everyone and their mother seems to own a virtual assistant, but are they really worth the hype? Short answer — yes! The Echo Show is one of the first that kicked off the trend, and this third-generation version has already become an Amazon shopper favorite, especially for families.

“Video calls feel like in-person conversations,” one five-star reviewer wrote. “The wide-angle lens [and] follow-you features ensure [that] everyone’s smiling faces are visible, adding a personal touch to every interaction.”

Prime members can nab this electric toothbrush for close to half off leading up to October Prime Day. It’s on sale for the same price it was last Black Friday, so you know it’s a great deal. It’s also a great toothbrush, fans say. It comes with a charging stand, a travel case and two extra brush heads.  

More than 13,000 Amazon shoppers have given it a five-star rating, and one person wrote: “I feel like I’ve been to the dentist office for a cleaning every time I use this brush. I really like [the] timer function that prompts me to move from quadrant to quadrant and brush for two minutes. Brush pauses and emits a beep every 30 seconds and shuts off automatically after two minutes in the clean setting.”

Cate & Chloe is a popular brand at Walmart, thanks to its wildly affordable 18-karat white-gold-plated jewelry pieces, perfect for elevating any outfit on a budget. This pretty tennis bracelet is no different — the brilliant Swarovski crystals are wonderfully sparkly, and the understated design is unique and elegant.

“I do like to dress up with sparkles, and this piece was well worth the money, plus it looks like a million bucks,” said one reviewer. “If you’re just looking for something to show off this is the piece.”

Nearly 30% off, this top-selling hair remover uses strong pulses of light to target hair. When that light is absorbed, it heats the hair and destroys it, along with the cells that make new hair grow, lowering the odds it’ll return. You can have this done at a salon, but it’s much more expensive. An at-home machine like this one will save you a fortune, and you should see smoother skin within 12 weeks. It might take a little while to see results, but those results will last a long time, fans say.

“I can’t believe this actually worked!” wrote a happy customer. “I’m a really hairy woman who had to shave almost daily, but after six sessions (one per week), I just need to shave once a week and just to do my session since I barely have hair growth.”
