Smart plugs are extremely useful pieces of tech that can actually change your daily habits. However, purchasing multiple plugs can be a costly task. Many of the smart plugs available end up blocking the unused outlet above or beneath it which can be a huge hassle when you want to plug in multiple devices which sit near each other in your home. Luckily, TP-Link has a product that puts those concerns to bed: the Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Power Strip. Right now it’s on sale for $26.29 at Amazon, marking its lowest price so far and nearly $15 off its full cost of $40.

This power strip features three smart outlets which can each be controlled independently just as you can control a smart plug, which makes it perfect to use with your home entertainment setup, home office, or kitchen appliances. With the free Kasa app for iOS and Android devices, you can turn on and off any of the outlets on the strip one by one and see whether you accidentally left them on while you’re away from home. There are tw…

Sitting all day for work isn’t exactly comfortable or healthy and we should all try to do it less and mitigate it where possible. With the Cubii Jr Desk Elliptical, you can do just that by burning some calories while you’re sitting there. Woot has it on sale for $184.99 today via its Amazon store. That’s $64 less than it regularly sells for, though this deal is one of Amazon’s deals of the day, meaning it’s only available until the end of the day or until sold out.

This tiny elliptical is built to be durable and sturdy, but also easy to move, in case you want to take it to meetings and around your home with you. It has a built-in display that shows how many calories you’ve burned, how many strides you’ve taken, and more. It’s super quiet when in use so that you can discretely use it even when on calls or in meetings without disturbing anyone else.

Cubii says you can burn an additional 150 calorie…

It’s time to save more with the WD My Passport 5TB portable hard drive. Right now this external hard drive is on sale for just $99.99 on Amazon. The My Passport lineup was updated late last year with the previous version long having been considered one of the best values in portable drives, and this new version has lived up to the reputation.
