The Nextbit Robin is an Android phone that aims to assuage your storage fears. If its 32GB of flash memory fill up, it’ll start uploading your apps and photos to a 100GB cloud account, leaving behind “ghost” icons that can re-download them on demand. It’s a feature that’s since been replicated elsewhere, but it’s still a solid phone for $118.

Update: The cloud service will be shut down at some point in the near future, so don’t count on having more than 32GB of storage. Sorry!

Amazon’s compatibility chart says it works on AT&T and only partially on T-Mobile, but every review I saw said it works perfectly fine on T-Mobile, if that’s your carrier of choice.


Audioengine makes some of the best speakers on the market, and both their A2+ and their larger, louder A5+ models have rare discounts on Amazon today.

The A2+ checks in at $199 for a pair, which is about $50 less than usual, while the A5+ are priced at $319, or $80 off. These would work great as home theater speakers, but the included DAC also lets you run them directly from your computer’s USB port as well.


Samsung’s Chromebook Plus is a bit expensive by Chromebook standards, but it’s worth every penny. It debuted only a few months ago at $450, but you can already get it for an all-time low $386 today on Amazon.

So what makes this thing so special? Its 2400 x 1600 touchscreen display jumps off the page, as do its included stylus and ability to fold into a tablet. But the headlining feature here is full Google Play support, meaning you can download and run over a million Android apps to expand the laptop’s capabilities. Now some of those will work better than others, and lag can be a problem with certain apps, but the fact is that Chrome OS isn’t just a browser window anymore. It can even run Photoshop!


$70 for a Logitech Harmony remote is a great deal on its face, but the real reason to buy this model is the included Harmony Home Hub.

The Hub allows you to use your iPhone, Android device, or even an Amazon Echo to control everything a Harmony remote can (which is basically any piece of home theater gear you can think of). So even when you inevitably lose the included remote behind the couch cushions, you’ll still have multiple ways to take control of all of your home theater gear.

Considering the hub alone sells for over $80 right now, getting the hub plus a remote for an all-time low $70 is a fantastic opportunity.


You don’t need to pay Apple $160 to enjoy truly wireless earbuds: These SoundPEATS look nearly identical to the AXGIO earbuds that I tried out last year, but with updated Bluetooth tech (4.2 vs. 4.1) and a lower price tag. They’re not as sleek as some other truly wireless headphones on the market like AirPods or the Bragi Dash, but you can’t beat that price.


Aukey’s tiny USB car charger is a reader favorite, but this iClever model is the same size and puts out the same 4.8A of power over two ports, and it’s only $7 today. Plus, unlike the plastic Aukey, this one’s made of aluminum, which is supposedly better for heat dissipation, but it definitely looks cooler.

Update: The aforementioned Aukey charger is also down to $7 today!


If you want to cut the cord, but can’t abide earbuds, Sony’s popular on-ear MDRXB650BTs are on sale for $78 right now, within $10 of the all-time low we saw around Black Friday. These include NFC pairing, a built-in microphone, and 30 hours of battery life, and you even get your choice of three different colors.

If you missed it yesterday, two higher-end Sony Bluetooth headphones with active noise cancellation are also still on sale.


Anker makes your favorite affordable Bluetooth earbuds and wireless speakers, and while the precise models you voted on aren’t included in today’s audio sale, the ones that are still have fantastic reviews.

The SoundBuds NB10s are designed to stay in your ear no matter what physical activity you’re taking part in, while the Tags are light and tiny. On the speaker side, the Ultra Portable model packs in 12 hours of battery life, while the Premium speaker includes dual 10W drivers and two passive subwoofers for extra bass. Just remember to use the promo codes at checkout to save.


Anker’s PowerCore battery packs are by far our readers’ favorites, and the 15,600mAh model is within a buck of the best price we’ve seen today with promo code ANK15600. While it’s probably too big to keep in your pocket, it’s worth keeping a battery of this size handy for long flights, camping trips, power outages, and any other situation where you’ll be without reliable charging for an extended period. It’s even big enough to share, if you’re feeling generous.


SONOS discounts only come around once in a blue moon, but for a limited time, you can save $50 off the purchase of two SONOS PLAY:1s, and $100 off the SONOS SUB, both of which offer stellar sound and dead-simple setup and operation.


Amazon’s Father’s Day device deals just went live, including $20 discounts on the Kindle, Kindle Paperwhite, and Kindle Voyage, extra savings on various Kindle bundles, and less common deals on Amazon’s Echo line of smart speakers. Alexa does know some great dad jokes, so that part makes sense.

There are too many deals to list here, but head over to this post to see them all.


VPNs are in the news these days, and with good reason. So if you’re curious to sign up and start protecting your browsing history and personal data (or, you know, getting around websites’ geoblocks), NordVPN charges less per month than a typical trip to Starbucks.

NordVPN has long been one of the most popular and reliable VPN providers out there, and if you sign up for a one-year membership, promo code VIP70 will drop your annual price from $69 to $48. If you’re sure you want to commit, use this link instead to get a special two year plan for $79 with code 2YSpecial2017. Lifehacker has recommended Nord in some previous guides, but if you have any firsthand experience with the service, sound off in the comments!

If you still haven’t gotten around to picking out a Father’s Day gift, Amazon’s here to bail you out with a pair of Gold Box deals full of popular, if a little cliché, ideas.

First up, you can choose from four discounted Swiss Army knives for $22 or less. You won’t find any particularly unique models here—they’re all red and include a basic assortment of tools—but you can never go wrong with one of these.

The second Gold Box is a bit more varied, and includes tools, a flashlight, a set of earmuffs with a radio built in, and...a shelf. Who wouldn’t want a shelf, right? A few of the deals are below, but you can find them all here. Just remember that for both Gold Boxes, these prices are only available today, and they’re subject to sell out early.


I freely admit that not everybody needs a miter saw. In fact, most people probably shouldn’t own one. But if you’re in the market, Amazon’s top seller is marked down to $99 today, within a few bucks of an all-time low. In addition to the #1 seller designation, the Hitachi C10FCE2 also carries a 4.5 star review average from nearly 1,500 customers, so there’s no need to measure twice here.


You know those motion-sensing light switches that companies install in office buildings to squeeze out every possible penny of profit save energy and protect Mother Earth? Now you can put them in your own home for just $13 each with code YCQ2PM4N. If anyone in your house is chronically incapable of turning out the lights, this deal’s for you.


Do you love coffee (like, really love it) and have $500 in disposable income? Today’s your lucky day, because Delonghi’s Super Automatic espresso, latte and cappuccino machine is marked down to an all-time low $500 in today’s Amazon Gold Box. Needless to say, that’s a lot of money, but this thing usually sells in the $700-$900 range, so there’s never been a better time to splurge.


OxyLED’s T-02 Minis are, you guessed it, the smallest version of the company’s popular line of motion-sensing stick-anywhere lights. They’re great for cabinets and small closets, and you can get two for $12 with promo code KINJA2MI today.

Note: These don’t include built-in batteries, so you’ll need two AAAs. Luckily, Amazon’s rechargeable ones are still on sale.


$30 is a solid price for any LED desk lamp, but it’s particularly good for a beautiful aluminum one with a 2A USB charging port and three color temperature settings, which can seriously boost your productivity.


If you’re ready to take the plunge into LED lighting, this 6-pack of bulbs from TCP is down to just $10 on Amazon right now in both daylight and soft white temperatures. They aren’t dimmable, so you won’t want to put them in certain fixtures, but they’re great bulk packs for the price.

Once you’ve got them, check to see if your local utility company offers rebates for purchasing LEDs. If so, it’s possible these could pay for themselves even quicker than they would otherwise.


If you’re missing a bunch of drill bits, or the ones you do have are starting to strip, you can pick up 91 new ones from Bosch today for just $25. These are currently listed on Amazon for $30 (within a few cents of an all-time low), but you should automatically see an additional 20% discount at checkout.


Yi, the manufacturer of your favorite budget action cam, also makes a well-reviewed dash cam, and you can mount it to your windshield for an all-time low $44 today with promo code YIFORDAD. 1080/60 recording (which gives you twice as many frames to get a clear view of a license plate) and Wi-Fi are both basically unheard of at this price point.


While supplies last, you green thumbs can score a great deal on a popular Gorilla Cart.

Amazon’s top-selling service cart can haul a whopping 1200 pounds, and even dump its load at the push of a button with a unique quick release feature. $99's within a buck of the best price Amazon’s listed, so put a cart in your cart before this deal ends.

Update: Here’s a 600 pound model for $56.


French press is your favorite way to make coffee, and it’ll be an even more aesthetically pleasing process with this 100% stainless steel press for just $25.

Most of the French press deals we see are for 34 oz. (1 L) models, but this one is 50% larger at 51 oz. Just be sure to use promo code LYWSES4T at checkout to get it for $25.


Update: You can also get three Philips Hue White bulbs (which don’t change color) for $36, down from their usual $40. That’s not a huge discount, but it’s the best Amazon’s ever listed.

Individual Philips Hue light bulbs have been frustratingly resistant to discounts over the years, so if you have a chance to save 10% on the latest model, you should probably swallow your pride and pull the trigger.

This third generation bulb features richer blues and greens than previous models, and this is the first time Amazon’s discounted it below the usual $50. The deal is available on both the Frustration Free and standard packaging options, so if one sells out, be sure to try the other.


The first time we posted a deal on wool dryer balls, you guys bought thousands of them. Today’s deal is from a different brand, but $9 for a half-dozen (with code YYYZZZOO) is a fantastic deal.


When your tires get low, you’ve got two choices. You could scrounge together some quarters, drive to a gas station, fumble around with the filthy air hose, and run out of time after filling three tires. Or, you could just buy a compressor to keep in your trunk, and top off your tires whenever you want, for free. This one’s only $21 today, and even includes a warning light if you have to use it on the side of the highway.


Usually, when there’s a deal on Rubbermaid’s top-selling FreshWorks containers, it’s on the 2-pack. But today, you can augment your collection with an individual large container for $12, the lowest price in over a month.

If you aren’t familiar with these things, each FreshWorks product includes a “crisp tray” which elevates your produce off the bottom of the container, giving moisture a place to drip, and air enough room to flow. The lids also include special filters that regulate the flow of oxygen and CO2 into and out of the containers, allowing your fruits and vegetables to stay fresher, longer.

Top Lifestyle Deals

These uber-popular Bowflex adjustable dumbbells had a ton of fantastic (if short-lived) deals in April and May, but if you didn’t pull the trigger back then, they’re back down to $205 today, even if you aren’t a Prime member. Just keep the poor delivery drivers in your thoughts.


Right now, GAP has everything discounted up to 50% off, which is great, sure. But they’re trowing an additional 20% off with the code GOBIG. The exclusions list unfortunately includes denim, but there are a bunch of jeans marked down to really great prices in the sale section already.

They also just dropped a bunch of new arrivals for both men and women, just in time for the summer.


Need a last minute gift (with an IOU attached, probably) or just want to grab some new outdoor-friendly garb? Well, Eddie Bauer is taking 30% off of basically everything, no code needed. is one of those reliable, every day brands. You can basically get anything you need for work or outdoors all in one place, for a reasonable price. Just click through and stock up.


Whether you wear TOMS for the ease of never having to tie your shoes or just dig the style, this is one deal you should take advantage of. They’re having their Surprise Sale, with up to 75% off select styles. Plus, they’ve come a long way from just simple, canvas slip-ons. Now you have a real reason to throw out your old, gross ones.


Stila Cosmetics is one of those brands you stumble upon at Sephora and become instantly devoted to. They also make your favorite eyeliner by a very wide margin. So, if you’re a Stila loyalist, or if you’ve been wanting to try them out, use the code SURPRISE on their site and get 25% off everything, plus free shipping, with no minimum.


If you’re enough of a daredevil to give yourself a haircut, Remington’s Shortcut Pro makes the process as simple as possible.

For $44 (after a $10 off $50 promotion Amazon’s running), the Shortcut Pro can run for 40 minutes on its built-in lithium-ion battery, and includes nine different length combs to customize your look. And unlike most electric trimmers, it’s shaped like a puck, rather than a wand, which makes it much easier to maneuver around the back of your own head. Just note that you won’t see the $10 discount until checkout.


You don’t need a gym membership to have access to a pull-up bar: You just need a doorway. If you don’t have one of those, I can’t help you. This pull-up bar has a ton of (mostly) good Amazon reviews, and features 12 non-slip pads so you can customize your grip.


When it comes to having a corner on the market, nothing really compares to Nike. And right now, they’re having a 48-hour Flash Sale, which means you can get up to 50% off sneakers and apparel of all styles. Huraches, Jordans, Air Max’s, and more are marked down, but this only lasts until midnight tonight.


You’re probably in need of new workwear staples. Brooks Brothers may be the gold standard for business attire, the prices can be daunting. But you can get all the work-appropriate garb you could need for less during their Semi-Annual Sale. There’s a lot to look through, so it’s worth some digging.


Sperry is ready to cannonball into the summer with a couple deals for you to choose from. First, use the code SALE20 and take an extra 20% off sale styles, for today only. Or, if you need something to wear on a boat (that’s something people do in the summer, right?), use the code TUESDAY and take 40% off select apparel.


If you’ve had your eyes on a Fitbit (may we recommend the Charge 2?), or wanted to get one for Dad this month, nearly the entire lineup is on sale right now on Amazon, with discounts ranging from $20 to $50.

Top Media Deals

Now that the Star Wars franchise is alive and well again, you can get caught up with the two original trilogies on Blu-ray for $30 each, complete with a bunch of special features. Place your bets on which one will sell better in the comments!


Logan was a stunningly great conclusion to Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine series, and the Blu-ray is already down to $12 mere weeks after release.

Top Gaming Deals

Update: Today’s the last day you could preorder and reasonably hope to get it on launch day.

Arms sure seems like it’s going to be the Switch’s third must-own game, and you can get it on launch day for just $48 if you have Amazon Prime. Just note that you won’t see the $12 discount until checkout.


You’ve probably heard a lot of fuss about mechanical keyboards lately, and if not, you’ve at least heard the clicking coming from a nearby desk. If you’re curious to try one yourself without dropping a bunch of money, Aukey will sell you a tenkeyless model for just $25 today.

At this price, you’re not going to get name brand Cherry MX key switches, but the switches that you get should mimic the ultra-clicky MX Blues. Just be sure to use promo code RSKGHPRI at checkout to get the deal.


Whether you buy your games from the Nintendo eShop, Xbox Live, the PlayStation Store, Steam, or even GameStop, you can save 10% when you buy $100 or more worth of gift cards from eBay. The cards all come in $50 increments, so you can buy two or more of the same, or mix and match to get the deal. Just note that you’ll have to pay with PayPal to see the discount at checkout.
