Going camping? Taking a hike? Heading outdoors somewhere for some reason and not sure if your smartphone will survive the trip? Then you need a device like the Jackery Explorer 500 portable power station. Right now the Explorer 500 is down to $419.99 when you clip the $80 off on-page coupon at Amazon. That’s a huge drop in price considering it rarely ever drops from its $500 street price directly. In fact, it has been almost a year since we last saw it get discounted. The same power station is still going for $500 at other retailers like B&H.

The Explorer 500 is a power station with a massive 518 watt hours capacity. It uses a lithium-ion battery you can recharge in a number of different ways, including a solar panel. Get free power from the sun and keep your devices running even when you’re outside for an extended period of time. Of course you can always plug it into a wall or use your car to charge it as well. The solar panel, the Jackery SolarSaga 100W, is sold separately and…

We know all about the best Ecobee products including the best deals on Ecobee accessories, which have recently branched to everything from extra sensors for your smart thermostat to cameras and now smart light switches. The Ecobee Switch+ smart light switch normally sells for $80, and today it’s on sale for $39.99 at Best Buy. That’s a huge drop and one of the best prices we’ve ever seen for the smart switch, outside of a rare deal also at Best Buy that gave it away for free with the purchase of an Ecobee SmartThermostat.

You don’t need an Ecobee SmartThermostat to make the smart switch work, but it is one of our favorite smart thermostats and the two devices work really well together. The 5th-generation thermostat features a whole new design with a glass finish, a vivid touch display, a quad-core processor, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and far-field voice recognition that can pick up your commands from across the room.

See, the smart thermostat is designed to work with voice assist…

OnePlus is celebrating all things OnePlus with a huge sales event called OnePlus Day. You’re going to find a ton of great deals available while this is all going on. Get a great price whether you’re interested in a new OnePlus smartphone, which you can get for hundreds of dollars off today, or just want something to complement the phone you already have (like 50% off a protective case or some Bluetooth headphones at a discount).

For example, one of the best deals available in the sale is on the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z Bluetooth headphones. They are discounted to $29.95 during this event, which is a $20 discount off the website’s regular price and $30 off what they’re going for at other retailers like Amazon. Not only that, but if you add two pairs of headphones to you cart you’ll get the second pair completely free. That’s $100 worth of headphones discounted to just $30 total. Huge savings.

Sure, the Bullets Wireless Z headphones use an older wireless design, but that doesn’t me…

As the weather warms up, you’re going to need some outdoor music. Whether you need it for your first pool parties or the outdoor barbecue, some powerful sound that doesn’t get hurt by a little splash or a little rain is perfect for the spring time. Grab the Anker Soundcore Bluetooth speaker because it’s on sale thanks to a $6 off on-page coupon that knocks the price from $28 to $21.99 total at Amazon. The drop to $22 matches a low price we’ve seen only a couple times the last few months, and you’d have to go back nearly a year to find it going for an even better price. Only the black version of the speaker is going for this low as the other colors are still at an inflated cost of $34.

The Soundcore speaker is one of Anker’s best. It has high-sensitivity drivers and a patented bass port. What that means for you is powerful sound, exceptional clarity, and zero distortion even at high volume. You’ll be able to feel the bass if that’s what you want.

One of the great features of this sp…

You need a 4K monitor. Well, maybe you don’t need it, but you definitely want it. There are a lot of benefits to having 4K resolution on a computer monitor, whether you are deep into photo editing, play computer games, or want the best way to watch movies and TV shows while sitting at your computer desk.

Unfortunately, 4K is already a relatively expensive feature compared to 1080p or 1440p resolutions so the more extra features you add the quickly the price can rise. These monitors don’t usually run cheap, and if they do it’s because they sacrifice refresh rate, response times, or other tech. Whatever you’re looking for in a 4K monitor, we have the best deals available right here.

Best 4K Monitor Deals

LG 27UD88-W 27-inch 4K USB-C monitor | $50 off

This monitor has 4K resolution, a 5ms response time, and a 60Hz refresh rate. It also has 350 nits of brightness and an SRGB over 99%. It is VESA compatible so you can mount it to an arm or a wall. The ports include a USB-C port wi…

The Chamberlain MyQ smart garage door opener is our favorite device for opening your garage from your phone, and it works extremely well. Today you can get one for $19.98 at Amazon. This is a daily deal and is set to expire by tomorrow, so grab it while you can. The MyQ normally sells for around $30 with spikes as high as $40. While we have seen it go on sale before, we have never seen a direct price drop this low.

This new version of the MyQ simplifies the setup tremendously. It doesn’t even have to attach to the garage door opener anymore. It comes with a mounting plate so you can put it on any wall in your garage. All you’re doing is taking what already exists and making it smarter. The product page can show you all the garage door openers the MyQ is compatible with, but it basically includes anything made after 1993. As long as you have the standard safety sensors and such, you’ll most likely be able to use this.

Of course, you also need a router with Wi-Fi strong enough to rea…

One of Best Buy’s deals of the day includes the Anker Roav Jump Starter Pro, and it’s on sale for $69.99. That’s a great low price and a match for a deal we last saw in January. If you missed it then, today’s your day to take advantage of this low price. The same version is going for more than $110 at Walmart and regularly goes for around $100 at Best Buy when it’s not on sale.

Ever been stuck on the road with a dead battery? It’s not a fun experience. It’s even less fun having to call roadside emergency or call a friend to come help. It’s a series of unfortunate events that leaves you feeling drained and frustrated. Having one of Anker’s emergency jump starters around can alleviate some of the annoyance by giving you a way to jump start your car immediately.

When fully charged, this device is capable of providing over a dozen jumps for your car. Just make sure the battery level is above 50% before using it and make sure the operating temperature is between 32 and 140 degrees Fahre…

We know all about great but inexpensive earbuds, and the 1More Stylish true wireless earbuds are right there on the list of some of the best. You can get those earbuds among several others for a low price in one of Amazon’s daily deals today. The sale includes over a dozen different options, including the same models in multiple color variations. All the options are on sale with prices ranging between $40 and over $100, but even the headphones going for $101.99 are actually $48 off their street price and down to the lowest they’ve ever been. Save big and get a great pair of headphones today before the low prices disappear.

The 1More Stylish true wireless earbuds are down to $50.36 in black and $50.56 in green. These earbuds normally go for $80, and today’s deal matches the lowest we have ever seen.

You can also get them in pink or gold. The street price is still $80 for these colors, so you’re not saving as much. But it’s still a $20 discount and one of the best prices we’ve ever s…

This is one of the best single direct price drops we’ve ever seen on GoPro’s latest action camera. Get the Hero9 Black 5K camera on sale for $349.99 at Amazon when you clip the on-page coupon that takes $49.01 off the price. It is already on sale from its regular $450 price, so you’re saving $100 total here.

This is similar to, but better than, a deal going on at Best Buy where you can also get the Hero9 Black for $50 off and get a $50 gift card. I’ll take the direct $50 savings personally, but you might prefer the gift card. Either way, you’re getting a great GoPro deal.

The GoPro Hero9 Black is the newest generation of GoPro, which released in September of last year. This action camera has some amazing technology built into its tiny form, and it makes huge improvements over the previous generations. The Hero9 uses a brand new 23.6MP sensor. You’ll be able to take pictures that are lifelike, sharp, and fluid. You can shoot video in resolutions up to 5K, which is the highest ever f…

Ready for a little spring cleaning? Yah, no one else is, either. Let your robots do the cleaning for you! Today you can get the Neato Robotics Botvac D4 robot vacuum cleaner down to a low price of $249.99. This is actually one of Best Buy’s deals of the day so it won’t last long. Today’s deal matches the lowest we have ever seen from the D4 in new condition, and it’s a price we’ve only seen a couple times before. Normally this robot vacuum sells for around $300 or even as high as $430 depending on where you’re looking.

The convenient part about this robot vacuum is that it connects to an app on your smartphone or tablet, allowing you to control its actions or schedule a cleaning from anywhere in the world. With the app, you can even set up “no-go lines” to keep the vacuum out of certain areas of the home. That’s pretty important when you just want the robot vacuum to focus on your kitchen or living room without moving all around the house.

The D4 uses LaserSmart technology that hel…
