Razer continues to iterate on the Razer Blade 14, but the biggest change over time has been the chassis. What already started as a very thin laptop has continued to shrink, and is now just an incredible 0.62 inches thin, which is particularly impressive considering the gaming hardware found under the hood. The battery life matches the portability too, breaking 10 hours in a local video-playback test.
This slim and attractive laptop has serious gaming chops. The mobile version of the RTX 5060 was comfortably between 30 and 60 fps at 2,560 x 1,200, a nice compromise in resolution that’s made even sweeter when you engage DLSS for frame generation and dynamic scaling. The CPU is a Ryzen AI 9 365, a power-efficient chip that’s surprisingly capable in CPU-intensive workloads and games. It’s paired up with 16 GB of memory for the RTX 5060 version, or 32 GB for the RTX 5070 model. Both sport a 1TB SSD too, so no need to worry about storage unless you play Call of Duty.
While the updated OLED display isn’t the most pristine that we’ve tested in terms of raw numbers, it is a huge jump over the mini-LED panels typically found in older Razer Blade models. Individual pixel backlighting means black levels are basically perfect, but the Blade’s screen struggles a bit with max brightness, hitting just 620 nits in HDR, while competitors can touch 1,000 nits, helping with HDR performance. Still, you’ll likely spot a big difference while gaming and watching media over mini-LED or IPS panels, and you’re just compromising when it comes to color accuracy and brightness.
While I think the discounts offered here make the Razer Blade 14 an exceptional buy, you might wander over to our list of favorite gaming laptops to see what else is around.
Looking for an Apple laptop with a bigger screen? You’re in luck, as the 15-inch MacBook Air with the M4 CPU is currently marked down by $200 on Amazon in a variety of configurations and colors, including the new Sky Blue finish. It’s a great fit for work or play, and only serious power users will need to consider upgrading to the MacBook Pro.

MacBook Air (15-inch, 2025)
This generation of MacBook Air got a big upgrade in the form of a new M4 processor, which boosts performance and adds support for a number of much-desired features. According to our reviewer Luke Larsen, the updated M4 chip “is 22 percent faster GPU, 31 percent multi-core, and 18 percent single-core, as measured in Cinebench R24.” It manages that performance bump without any fans, so it stays nice and quiet, even when you fire up Baldur’s Gate 3. The extra GPU power also helps the system run two extra screens with the lid open, a feat the previous year’s model couldn’t pull off.
Battery life is also a standout feature of MacBooks over the years, and this year’s model is no different. In our testing, it ran for over 20 hours while playing a local video, more than enough to get you through a rough day of work or a long flight. It did drain a bit faster when working actively, but still managed four and a half hours even when stressed, which should help alleviate any battery anxiety. It has an excellent keyboard, trackpad, and speakers too, making it a perfect fit for handling a variety of daily work and fun tasks.
If you’re a part of the Pixel crew like I am, you know that discounts on the latest generation are few and far between. That’s why I’m pleased to share that the entire family of Pixel 10 phones, from the regular Pixel 10 all the way up to the recently-released Pixel 10 Pro Fold, are all marked down by various amounts on Amazon.

Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL
Starting with the base model Pixel 10, you’ll save $200 on both the 128 GB and 256 GB models in all four colors, bringing the prices down to $599 and $699, respectively. The base version of the Pixel 10 makes a few compromises to bring the price down, like foregoing the Pro model’s vapor chamber for cooling, and opting for a smaller camera sensor. It’s still an excellent choice for casual Android enjoyers, particularly at the price, but power users and mobile gamers may want to think about upgrading to the Pro.
Like the regular 10, the Pixel 10 Pro is marked down by $250 across all sizes, but color availability does change a bit, particularly on the 1 TB model. The biggest difference between the two models are the higher-resolution screen, more memory, and the bigger and better camera sensors. You can also get the higher storage models, while the regular Pixel 10 only goes up to 256 GB. The Pixel 10 Pro XL, which has the same specs as the 10 Pro but with a larger screen, is marked down by $300, again with some varying availability between color and storage size.

Finally, we have the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which just recently became available for purchase, and is already marked down by a not-insignificant $300 for both the 256 GB and 512 GB models, and I even spotted both colors in stock at both sizes. It has not one, but two excellent displays, and feels premium and sturdy, even if it is missing some of the features found on the 10 Pro.

Looking for a great headset for your Xbox Series X or S that’s super simple to setup and use? Microsoft’s Xbox Wireless Headset is built specifically for console life, with easy setup, great spatial audio, and easy to use controls. It’s currently marked down to just $105 on Amazon, a $15 discount, and is a great choice for Xbox enthusiasts who spend most of their time gaming from the couch.

Microsoft
Xbox Wireless Gaming Headset
My favorite thing about the Xbox Wireless Gaming Headset is that how easy it is to connect to your console. It leverages the existing wireless connection from the Xbox Series S/X to pair directly, no need for USB dongles or extra apps. Just press the pairing button on the headset and the console’s sync button, and you’re ready to game.
I also appreciate the big volume knobs that take up the outside surface of both earcups. They’re easy to adjust even in the middle of a battle, with one side changing the volume, and the other setting the balance between game chat and communication audio. The latter is particularly useful for quick adjustments when your friends get a little too rowdy. While I wasn’t overly impressed with the mic’s quality, it sounds good enough for the price point, and more importantly, does a great job filtering out background noise, so your squad doesn’t have to hear your dog barking.
The Xbox Wireless Gaming Headset is equipped with Dolby Atmos, as long as you’re connected to an Xbox Series S or X, and the game you’re playing supports it. It gives a massive boost to spatial audio, which is great for both shooters and immersive games, and you can tweak the settings directly from the Xbox settings menu on your console, or from the Xbox mobile app.
While the Xbox Wireless Gaming Headset is my preferred pick for casual console gamers, there’s a whole world of other gaming headsets out there with different features like ANC or swappable batteries. Make sure to check out our full guide to see if anything else appeals to you, or take advantage of a discount on the Xbox pair to get gaming fast.
The good news is, these sound way better than the previous generation of Pixel Buds Pro, with upgraded drivers and better processing. They have a wide soundstage, particularly for wireless earbuds, that our reviewer Parker Hall says provides an “energetic and joyous listening experience” and handles a variety of genres with grace.
Google made some big improvements to the active noise canceling as well, boosting it to levels that almost match Bose and Sony, the current top tier of ANC. It’s great at filtering out barking dogs and neighbor noises; only high-frequency sounds manage to evade silencing. They have a great transparency mode as well, with a richer sound reproduction than we’re used to seeing on compact earbuds. You’ll get about eight hours of listening with ANC on, and closer to 12 with it off, which beats the Apple AirPods Pro.
While a lot of companies claim to use laser measurements and careful planning on their ergonomics, they often fall short of excellent comfort, but not Google. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are extremely comfortable, particularly for small ears, and have no trouble staying put, thanks to their rounded, flat shape. With an IP54 dust and moisture rating, they’re just as well suited for yoga as they are getting caught in the rain.
They work particularly well with Android phones, which enable a variety of convenience features like easy pairing and multiple connections. All you have to do is open the case near an Android phone and it will ask if you want to pair. The Pixel Buds app provides some extra features as well, but isn’t necessary, particularly since the Gemini AI features are pretty underwhelming.
While these are great for Pixel and other Android owners, there are better options if you have an iPhone, so make sure to swing by our guide and check out our favorite wireless earbuds for other options.
On the hunt for a premium television, with all the bells and whistles? Our premium television pick, the LG G5 OLED is currently marked down to just under $2,000 on Amazon for the 65-inch version, a $500 discount from its usual list price. This excellent OLED TV scored top marks in everything from brightness to color, and is a great choice for anyone seeking the perfect addition to their living room or home theater.

LG has made a variety of improvements to this generation of panels, and it really shows in the numbers. It’s one of the brightest screens we’ve tested, with only one major competitor, the Sony Bravia 9 QLED beating it in terms of raw brightness. That means top-tier HDR performance, without some of the compromises you usually make for QLED screens to reach that brightness.
The colors are excellent as well, bringing life to the deep greens and blues that some TVs can struggle with. They do just as well catching the clothing of your favorite sitcom stars as they do expressing the explosions and crashes of action movies. The processing and upscaling are top-notch as well, in case not all of your media is coming from the best source.
Combine that high brightness with the rich and vibrant colors, and the result is a TV that looks stunning across any movie genre. As our reviewer Ryan Waniata put it while describing the lightning storm from the beginning of Mad Max: Fury Road, “Each bolt and fiery crash burned with white-hot sizzle, almost overwhelming my senses even in a daytime viewing.”
The only real catch here is the streaming interface, an upgraded version of LG’s WebOS, which doesn’t quite hold up to the simplicity and performance of other options like Google TV. The remote is also slightly confusing, lacking some basic functions like a mute key or input key, both of which require other key press combinations. The good news here is if it really bothers you, you can always switch to a dedicated streaming box.
If you’ve got the cash to plunk down, the LG G5 OLED is one of our favorite televisions, and it’s worth grabbing this 20 percent discount on it while you can.
Instead of overspending on common household items, save when you shop on Amazon. (iStock)
You might think Walmart, Target or your local grocery store are your go-tos for affordable household staples, but Amazon undercuts them on some of the most popular products. Laundry pods, cleaning sprays and even jeans are often more affordable on Amazon.
Original price: $59.99
A new slow cooker costs less on Amazon. (Amazon)
Crock-Pot slow cookers are often on sale on Amazon for much less than they are at stores like Walmart or Target. This Crock-Pot can easily hold a seven-pound roast. You can select from high or low cooking settings, or leave your food on warm when it’s done cooking. The removable stoneware insert is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Plus, you can put it in the microwave or oven, up to 400 degrees.
Original price: $19.99
A 76-pack of Tide PODS is less than $20. (Amazon)
Tide PODS can be costly, but you can grab a 76-pack from Amazon for less than $20. The three-in-on pods clean your clothes, remove stains and fight odors. When you’re doing laundry, just throw the POD in the bottom of the washer and put your clothes on top. It’s easier than detergent and more efficient for heavy-duty loads.
These jeans are slightly stretchy for added comfort. (Amazon)
Amazon has its own line of denim through Amazon Essentials. For less than $20, you can get these athletic-fit jeans. There are more than 15 washes you can choose from, plus you can get the jeans in sizes ranging from 28W x 28L to 42W x 34L. Made with 2% elastane, you get some stretch to your jeans, keeping you comfortable all day.
This pack of toilet paper is equivalent to 90 rolls. (Amazon)
Stocking up on toilet paper is always a good idea, and Amazon has an affordable pack of Charmin Ultra Soft. Cheaper than Kroger, Walmart and other big-box stores, you get 18 family mega rolls, the equivalent of 90 regular rolls. This soft, clog-safe toilet paper will last longer, even in large families.
Original price: $15.40
There are three different scents in this Lysol four-pack. (Amazon)
Save on your next Lysol spray by getting a four-pack from Amazon. You get two lemon breeze-scented sprays, a mango and hibiscus spray and a lavender and cotton blossom spray. Lysol kills 99.9% of germs, all without any bleach. You can use the spray on most surfaces, like your countertops, kitchen table, shower and more.
Clean up difficult messes with this sponge. (Amazon)
When you need to get stains out, use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. This 10-pack is affordable and long-lasting. With just a little pressure and a quick rinse, you can eliminate stains and grime build up. Use it on walls, bathtubs, oven doors and other surfaces that are often difficult to clean.
Stop overpaying for brand-name batteries. (Amazon)
Batteries don’t have to be expensive. This Amazon Basics 100-pack of AA batteries is more affordable than name brands for other stores. The pack has a 10-year shelf life, so you can stock up on batteries without worrying about them going bad.
Ideal for sensitive skin, these wipes remove make-up fast. (Amazon)
A single pack of Neutrogena make-up remover towelettes are slightly cheaper on Amazon than other retailers. These soft, gentle clothes are ideal for those with sensitive skin and they dissolve all types of makeup, even waterproof mascara.

I know you’ve seen it. The glowing eyes. The gangly frame that should not be able to stand, propped up by rods unseen in the dark.
It is Skelly, the Home Depot skeleton—the most fashionable Home Depot product of probably the past decade. If you live in America, this skeleton presides over a yard near you. And newly this year, a smaller, 6.5-foot “Ultra Skelly” is outfitted with motion sensors and motors to make life truly weird—and also act as a strange alarm system against package thieves and hungry opossums.
Anyway, it’s usually well north of $200. But because Halloween is pretty much already happening, Skelly and its entire skeleton brood of giant cat and dog are all 75 percent off.
Which, finally, is a price I’m willing to pay. I have secretly coveted this skeleton and its kin, the comically grim watchmen of American October. But I, like my father before me and his father before him, am a cheapskate about all things but food and drink, and will talk myself out of anything that’s not (a) edible, (b) potable, or (c) verifiably “a deal.”
Well, here I am, world. This is a deal. Ultra Skelly is $70. The sitting Skelly dog is $63, not $249. The 5-foot-long Skelly cat is a mere $50. Beware the Skelly cat, my friend! The eyes that light, the claws that do nothing in particular!
Availability is, let’s say, scarce. Skelly is already out of stock for delivery from The Home Depot, at least in my zip code: Just the dog and cat can speed their way through the night to join you before Halloween.
Tired of pet hair and dust in the hard-to-reach spots of your home? Our favorite pick for cordless stick vacuums, the Bissell PowerClean FurFinder, is marked down to just $180 at Amazon. That matches the best price yet for this lightweight and capable stick vacuum, the same discount as Prime Day earlier this year. It even stands up on its own when not in use, truly blurring the line between stick and upright vacuums.

PowerClean FurFinder
Just because it’s a small cordless vacuum, doesn’t mean it lacks power. The 200W motor inside does an excellent job of catching dirt, dust, and of course pet hair. If the last one in particular is a problem for you, you’re in luck, as the namesake FurFinder tool is designed specifically to pull pet hair from upholstery and fabric. Our reviewer Nena Farrell used it to remove hair from her cat tree, a notoriously tough task, and said it “left the upholstery looking new.” The HEPA filter should also help keep the spread of any pet bits in the air to a minimum.
As a stick vacuum, the FurFinder will often be tasked with getting into tight spaces and under cabinets and furniture. Thankfully, it’s equipped with a generously sized headlight that will let you spot dust bunnies even in the darkest corners of your living room. It’s still up to bigger tasks though, with a claimed 40 minutes of run-time on low, and a total of three power levels for those tougher jobs. This bundle includes a charging dock, too, so you don’t have to hunt around for a special cable, or remember to charge individual batteries, plus a crevice tool for getting in between your couch cushions, and a brush tool for bigger messes.
If you’re curious about the rest of our favorite vacuums, or you don’t have a furry loved one in your life, make sure to swing by our buying guide. This is a great option for pet owners, in particular if you’re like me and let your dog onto any piece of furniture in the house, and for the price, it could act as a second vacuum just for that purpose.
It can be hard to build an Adulting Arsenal. And expensive! Mattresses, couches, vacuums, cookware … all of these necessary things around us that require a hefty initial investment, lest you be met with back problems, sagging cushions, subpar suction, or flaking nonstick pans that leave a little bit of mystery plastic behind with every bite.
No more! It’s time to upgrade. Pick up this All-Clad 5-Piece Nonstick Frying Pan Set for $180 (a $30 discount) and throw your dingy, dented, second- or possibly thirdhand nonstick pans away. A better world is possible, and it starts with good tools.
And All-Clad is good tools. We’ve long heralded it as the gold standard, as have chefs around the world in kitchens big and small. It lasts for years. It’s backed by a limited lifetime warranty. It’s solid, it’s durable, it’s reliable, and it does what it’s supposed to do without causing more fuss than it’s worth.
This deal gets you three nonstick, hard-anodized frying pans in 8-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch sizes, plus two lids for the bigger pans.

All-Clad
HA1 Hard Anodized Nonstick Fry Pan Set
These are hard-anodized, meaning the aluminum they’re constructed with is treated to be extra durable. And they’re coated in a PTFE nonstick (aka Teflon). There are many nonstick pans that don’t use PTFE anymore—we’re working on a roundup of our favorites—but generally, PTFE-coated cookware is considered safe so long as you take good care of it and don’t overheat it. Make sure to use nonstick-safe utensils, use a lower degree of heat rather than higher when you can, don’t preheat an empty pan, and hand-wash them when you’re done, and they’ll serve you just fine.
Note that these All-Clad pans are marketed to be safe to 500 degrees Fahrenheit (though the lids are limited to 350 degrees). That’s the upper limit of “safe” when it comes to cooking on PTFE. We recommend sticking with this for your basic eggs, pancakes, and grilled cheeses, and maybe reaching for something different if you need to finish or bake a dish in the oven. Do what you’re comfortable with!
These pans are compatible with gas, electric, and induction cooking methods, and have a warp-resistant base. The stainless steel handles may have a different design than you’re used to, but I personally really like them—I can flip my eggs without a spatula thanks to the upward-jutting angle of the handles. And they’re technically dishwasher safe, though we recommend hand-washing gently to preserve that slick outer coating. The walls of the pan are nice and high, which gives you good leverage when flipping with a spatula. They’re also really stable and have a nice weight to them—they don’t feel cheap or flimsy, unlike some of the random nonstick pans I’ve used over the years.
If you need to upgrade your nonstick, it’s hard to beat this set, especially at this price. Make sure to check our separate stories on the All-Clad Factory Seconds Sale as well as this killer All-Clad Pizza Oven deal.
Are you an Android user who is constantly looking at Apple Watch owners with envy? You’re in luck, as the Pixel Watch 3 is marked down to just $200 at Amazon in several colors. I spotted three discounted colors of the 45mm aluminum version in matte black, champagne gold, and polished silver.

While Apple users have always had the Apple Watch, it’s taken Google a little while to catch up with its first-party hardware offerings. They’ve come a long way in the last few years, enough that the previous generations of the Pixel Watch are capable enough to recommend, while still seeing significant discounts. This version benefits from a lot of the Wear OS updates of the last few years, while only missing out on a few features of the updated Pixel Watch 4.
The health and fitness tracking on the Pixel Watch have received a number of improvements since Google purchased FitBit back in 2019. This model has improved heart rate tracking and sleep data, and can automatically detect what kind of workout you’re doing. Unfortunately, one of our writers didn’t have the best experience with the AI-powered running coach, but that’s more the fault of AI and less of accurate measurements.
One advantage the Pixel Watch has over the Apple Watch is looks. Round watches tend to look more natural, and the rounded glass face has a unique and elegant look that stands out, although you’ll have to choose from straps made specifically for the Pixel Watch. We were impressed with the battery life on the larger version, which was able to run for around 24 hours on a single charge with one or two tracked activities per day. That should be enough to get you through the day and track your sleep as well, as long as you aren’t working out constantly.
Ultimately, there’s a reason the Pixel Watch tends to stay on top of our list of favorite smartwatches for Android users. It’s uniquely elegant, and particularly good for Pixel smartphone owners, so a healthy discount just makes this an even more appealing choice.

TrailSeeker ED 8×32 Binoculars
While these may not be the fanciest or highest-magnification binoculars around, they make up for it with an appealing price point and excellent optical quality. They’re our binocular expert Scott Gilbertson’s typical pick for a lightweight pair, and are a great choice for casual birdwatching or sightseeing on a hike. They’re also a good choice for beginners who aren’t ready to haul around one of the larger, higher-magnification options.
Unlike other binoculars at this price point, the TrailSeeker ED 8×32 features BaK-4 Prism glass, a feature normally reserved for much more expensive offerings. It helps reduce the amount of light lost in the prism, which should give a noticeable boost to image clarity and sharpness, as well as brightness.
The result is an excellently sharp image in the center, with a generously sized sweet spot that covers around 60 percent of the field of view. Our reviewer Scott Gilbertson appreciated how easy they were to use, and even though there was a bit of softness around the edges, it didn’t stop him from catching good glimpses of his favorite birds and other wildlife.
They have an excellent focus range and linear field of view too, with an impressive 409 feet of linear field of view at 1000 feet, where most other options fall just under 400. That gives them a nice, generous view, and avoids any feelings of claustrophobia you might experience from tighter FOVs.
If you’re interested in learning more about the TrailSeeker ED 8×32, make sure to check out our full review, with hands-on impressions, plus all the details about focusing and ergonomics. You can also hike over to our full roundup of binoculars, if you’re curious what all these numbers mean, or just to check out what the most ardent birdwatchers are opting for.
Cookware brand All-Clad surprised me this year. This summer, it breezed into the backyard pizza world with a debut pizza oven that I like as well as any oven I’ve tested this year. Right now, that excellent All-Clad gas-powered pizza oven is a whopping $800 off the suggested retail price, only at the All-Clad site.
What’s so good about the oven? The All-Clad gas-powered pizza oven heats up fast and crests 900 degrees Fahrenheit after 20 minutes. It’s insulated well, comes with a built-in thermometer that’s pretty accurate, and is made with the sturdy stainless steel All-Clad is known for.

But especially, All-Clad’s pizza oven comes with a rotating pizza stone that removes a lot of the fuss and bother of cooking pizza evenly. Instead of having to hover nervously nearby with a pizza peel, turning each pizza before the backside burns, all I have to do is launch the pizza in the middle of the pizza stone.
The oven does the rest, spinning the pizza at a rate of one revolution every 40 seconds or so. It’s not foolproof—you have to set the pizza in the center of the pizza stone to get an even cook—but it is a game-changer. This is true especially if I’m making multiple pizzas in a go-round. It means I’m able to prep another pie while one is still spinning and baking.
All-Clad deals are hard to find, but the cookware lasts for years and years. Using bad cookware can make even the most competent chefs feel like they’re in an episode of Kitchen Nightmares. Chefs and culinary experts worldwide use All-Clad pans as the goldstandard, including many of us on the WIRED Reviews team.
So, how do you snag this coveted cookware at the best price? One surefire way to save money on All-Clad is by shopping its Factory Seconds sale, which comes around every few months. Factory Seconds are products with minor imperfections that work as intended. This sale is scheduled to end October 31, though these events are often extended. We’ve listed our favorite discounts below.
The Essential is a staple in many Reviews team members’ kitchens. We like that it works well for all kinds of tasks, whether you’re making a pan sauce or getting a sear on some meat. Its high walls prevent grease from splattering on your countertop, and it can double as a flat-bottomed wok or even a Dutch oven. It’s also dishwasher-safe.
If you tend to splash your sautéed vegetables out of the frying pan, a deeper sauté pan is just what you need. This one has a large base to cook in, but tall walls to keep your ingredients inside the pan and off your stove. Plus, the sides are flat, so you can use them for leverage if you’re flipping something with a spatula.
A good stainless steel frying pan is non-negotiable for your kitchen arsenal. This 12-inch pan isn’t too big or too small. You may encounter a learning curve if you’re used to cooking on nonstick—make sure your grease or oil is hot before adding food—but once you get the hang of cooking on stainless steel, you’ll probably reach for it more frequently than you do your other pans.

The melding of copper, aluminum, and 18/10 stick-resistant stainless makes for one of the best heat-conducting pans WIRED reviewer Scott Gilbertson has in his kitchen (aside from cast iron). He uses a smaller version for sauces, boiling potatoes, making bourbon-bacon bark, and countless other tasks. He says this is a kitchen workhorse. The included lid reduces evaporation.
Holiday cookie season is fast approaching. This bakeware set will help you prepare treats for all of your neighbors, friends, and neighbors’ friends. It comes with two cookie sheets and a wire cooling rack, so when you’re baking big batches, everything will have a chance to cool down before decorating. I can attest to the cookie sheets’ nonstick power, and that same coating makes them easier to clean when all the baking is finished. If you need a set with more pieces, including a muffin tin, check this option out.
This nonstick roaster measures 16 by 13 inches, so it’s big enough for a small turkey or a large quantity of roasted vegetables or other sides. Since it’s nonstick, you probably don’t want to rely on scraping up a fond to make a pan sauce with drippings, but it’s still going to come in handy if you regularly roast delicate items and simply need a big pan that can withstand the high heat of the oven.
If you’re looking for a way to roast up your holiday meats, this is a good option. (Just note that it doesn’t come with a rack.) The stainless steel roaster measures about 16 by 13 inches and can comfortably fit a turkey weighing up to 20 pounds. It’s oven-safe to 600 degrees Fahrenheit and durable enough that you can scrape the bottom to create a pan sauce using all that collected flavor.
Being from the Midwest, I know all too well that “grilling season” is more of a state of mind than it is an actual time of year. All-Clad makes great outdoor cookware that I frequently reach for while doing any cooking outside, whether from my backyard or from the campground. This set includes an 11-inch round grill, a large roaster, and a grill grid. These are perfect for imparting that roasty, smoky, charcoal-y flavor without running the risk of losing your asparagus or salmon to the flames below. And I like that the handles are large enough to grab while wearing oven mitts.
You really, really don’t want to use metal utensils on nonstick pans. This set comes with all the nonstick kitchen accessories you’d frequently reach for, including a slotted spoon, a turner, a flexible slotted turner, and a ladle. You’ll even get a canister so you can store them on your counter instead of shoving them into a drawer and crossing your fingers that you’ll be able to open it later. They’re heat-safe to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
What Are All-Clad Factory Seconds?
The Factory Seconds Event is run by Home and Cook Sales, an authorized reseller for All-Clad and several other cookware brands. The items featured in the sale (usually) have minor imperfections, like a scuff on the pan, a misaligned name stamp, or simply a dented box. Every product on the website lists the nature of the imperfection in the title (e.g., packaging damage). You’ll need to enter an email address to access the sale.
While the blemishes vary, the merchant says all of the cookware will perform as intended. Should any issue arise, nearly every All-Clad Factory Seconds product is backed by All-Clad’s limited lifetime warranty. (Electric items have a slightly different warranty; check individual product pages for details.) We’ve used more than a dozen Factory Seconds pots, pans, and accessories, and they’ve all worked exactly as advertised. Just remember that all sales are final, and note that you’ll have to pay $10 for shipping. It’s also worth noting that the “before” prices are based on buying the items new, but we still think it offers a good indication of how much you’re saving versus the value you’re getting.
Looking to score almost 50 percent off on a pair of high-end true wireless earbuds? Amazon currently has the Black Graphite Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) marked down to just $180, a full $170 off their list price, with lesser discounts on the regular black and white varieties.

If you’ve ever used a pair of Sennheiser headphones before, you know they have a consistently excellent sound quality, and the True Wireless 4 are no exception. They’re incredibly detailed, particularly for earbuds, regardless of your favorite genre. Our reviewer Ryan Waniata “had a lovely time letting the buds loose across [his] whole music library” and had high praise for the excellent dynamics and precision. If you’re an audio nerd who wants every note to stand out and shine, these are a great pick, particularly without the high price barrier.
The noise-canceling isn’t perfect, but it does a great job of tuning out traffic and other busy city noises, if you want to sit out in a park and just enjoy some music without being bothered. They compared well to the Sony WF-1000XM5 (7/10, WIRED Review), and did a great job of tuning out airplane noise, in case you don’t want to lug your over-ears on a quick trip.
In addition to the excellent audio quality and active noise-canceling, they have all the trimmings you’d expect from a modern pair of wireless earbuds. There’s a smartphone app that will let you adjust codec settings, or tweak a five-band EQ to fit your preferred listening style. They have multipoint pairing as well, in case you need to switch between your phone and laptop regularly. We were able to get between seven and eight hours of runtime with the ANC turned on, so they should last you through most of the day, and the case brings the total to around 30 hours.
While the textured case and classy earbuds have a unique, eye-catching design, they’re both a bit on the large side. If you have small ears, or only carry a small bag, these might not be the best pick, but our guide to the best wireless earbuds would be a good place to start. Otherwise, audio enthusiasts should at least consider the excellent sound the Sennheiser True Wireless 4 can provide.
This luxurious gaming headset is a great pick for daily gamers who want excellent sound quality and high-end comfort. They have big drivers that make sounds in-game pop, and an excellent mic with noise-canceling so good your friends won’t even know you have a dog. They’re super comfortable, with the SteelSeries signature ski-goggle strap to take the pressure off your head.
While they’re built for gaming, they also sound great listening to music or watching movies. They have a nice, punchy sound profile and spatial audio support for a more immersive experience. If you’re on a PC, the SteelSeries GG software gives you a ton of options for balancing your audio across multiple sources, and you can even set individual EQ profiles for different applications.
By including a USB DAC for wireless connectivity, the Arctis Nova Pro can achieve some unique and compelling features not found on other headsets. The range is impressive, thanks to more room for the antenna and power than you’d find in a smaller USB dongle. You can adjust the volume and audio mix from a generous knob on the front, and it has multiple audio inputs for switching between consoles.
Best of all, the hub can charge a spare battery for the headset, giving you essentially infinite run time as long as you’re seated at the computer. When you run down the 25 or so hours on one charge, just swap out the battery and the headset will reconnect and pick up where you left off. It’s the perfect feature for anyone with battery concerns, but don’t worry, you can also charge the headset via USB-C directly.
If you’re looking for a new single-cup coffee maker, but only have limited counter space, you’re in luck. The Keurig K-Mini, our favorite pod coffee maker for small spaces, is marked down to just $70 on Amazon in several colors. That’s a healthy $30 discount on your morning cup of brew, as long as you aren’t too picky about the particulars, or just want an afternoon lift in your home office without getting out of your chair.

While larger coffee makers might offer more features, like timers or warm carafe plates, the Keurig K-Mini focuses on squeezing into the smallest spots in the tiniest kitchens or break rooms. It’s just over 12 inches tall, and under five inches wide, making it one of the most compact powered options for making coffee of any sort. It’s only undercut by tiny manual coffee makers like a pour-over or Aeropress, but if you don’t feel like grinding beans and boiling water, the K-Mini is an all-in-one alternative.
Beyond its exceptionally compact footprint, the Keurig K-Mini is also super simple and straightforward to use. The tank holds just enough water to brew one cup of coffee to tea, so it’s easy to just fill it with your mug, plop in a pod, and hit the button. There are no extra settings or filters to deal with, which is perfect if you just need caffeine, and don’t want anything standing between you and that first sip.
While the K-Mini is available in a variety of colors, I was able to find the $30 discount on Black, Oasis, and Evergreen. They have a bit more pop than a lot of other coffee makers, and should cover most common kitchen color schemes. It’s a great option for occasional coffee drinkers, or a sneaky second cup in your home office, but if you have a little more space, make sure to check out our full guide to pod-based coffee makers. If your mornings need multiple mugs, or a full pot, make sure to swing by our favorite traditional coffee makers, or even consider upgrading to an espresso machine.
