Tech Deals
LG C4 65-inch OLED TV for $1,600 ($897 off)Amazon
The LG C4 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is the best high-end TV on the market. We love the eye-popping brightness, the perfect contrast levels, the fantastic colors and highlights, and the LG Magic Remote. There's support for Dolby Vision, Chromecast, Apple Airplay, and Nvidia G-Sync. And there are even four HDMI ports—more than the average person will need. Our main gripe when reviewing this model was the price. Right now, it's lower than we've ever seen.
TCL Q6 75-inch TV for $480 ($120 off)Best Buy
Every iteration of this TV is on sale, but based on deals we've seen in the past, the savings get more impressive as the screen size grows. The TCL Q6 (7/10, WIRED Review) is the best TV for most people. Shopping for TVs can be hard! But this model has gorgeous and accurate colors, a gaming mode, and the right amount of brightness. The interface is a bit sluggish, but it's easy to use, and the TV's feet can be adjusted toward the middle of the set, which makes it compatible with more types of furniture if you're not going to mount it on the wall.
Roku Pro Series 55-inch 4K TV for $700 ($200 off)AmazonBest Buy
There's a lot to like about the Roku Pro Series (7/10, WIRED Review). Setting it up and using it is about as easy as it gets. The interface is essentially plug-and-play, and there are plenty of ports for your gaming consoles and soundbars (which you should have and will need, because this TV's side-firing speakers are somewhat lacking in sound quality). The picture is bright and sharp, though you may have to fiddle with the settings occasionally, and reviewer Adrienne So especially appreciated the “Find My Remote” feature. Multiple sizes of the television are on sale right now.
Sonos Roam 2 for $143 ($36 off)AmazonBest BuyWalmartTargetAdorama
The Sonos Roam 2 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is an excellent Bluetooth speaker and the best portable smart speaker we've tested. It's dust- and water-resistant, and the battery boasts 10 hours of listening time per charge. It's also pretty small—about the size of a tall beer can—so you can stash it in your cupholder or backpack's water bottle pouch with ease. Most importantly, the sound quality is what you'd expect from Sonos. The bass is bumping, and the midrange and treble are nice and balanced. Reviewer Parker Hall says it works well for both podcasts and pop music. This price is the lowest we've tracked. What more could you ask for?
Sonos Era 100 for $199 ($50 off)AmazonBest BuyWalmartTargetAdorama
This price matches the all-time low we've seen just a handful of times in the past. The Sonos Era 100 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is our favorite Sonos speaker. It's not too big or too small. You'll be able to integrate it seamlessly into your home, but the relatively compact size belies its punchy bass and true room-filling stereo sound. There's a nifty software “room tuning” feature that intelligently and automatically adjusts the speaker output—so even if you have to place the speaker in a corner or against a wall, it'll still sound great.
Apple iPad (2021, 9th Gen) Tablet for $199 ($126 off)Amazon
The ninth-generation iPad (8/10, WIRED Recommends) isn't the most powerful or newest tablet, but it's still a great basic and affordable iPad. This deal has been around for a few days and brings the price down to a historic low. The iPad still has a Home button with Touch ID—a feature some people will love—a headphone jack, and it's compatible with some accessories like the first-generation Apple Pencil. If you want an iPad and are on a tight budget, this is a safe option.
Apple iPad (2022, 10th Gen) Tablet for $299 ($50 off)AmazonBest Buy
The 10th-Gen iPad (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is our favorite iPad for most people. If you can spare it, this is a better bang for your buck than the other 9th-Gen tablet on sale right now. It comes in fun colors and has a modern design, and most importantly, it charges via USB-C instead of Lightning. The A14 Bionic chip keeps things smooth and snappy, and the cameras are better too. Check out our Best iPad Accessories guide to round out your experience.
Insta360 Link Webcam for $200 ($100 off)Amazon
Our reviewer called the Insta360 Link (8/10, WIRED Recommends) the “Rolls-Royce of webcams.” When he tested it live during a Gear meeting, several members of our team commented on the impressive quality. Our only gripe is that it's quite expensive, but this price is a match of the lowest we've seen. It's one of our favorite webcams partially due to its built-in gimbal. It'll tilt, pan, and zoom automatically as you move around the screen. The video and audio quality are top-notch as well. If your Zoom calls are looking a little fuzzy when you're staring at yourself in the upper right-hand corner (I can't be the only one who does that), this is a worthy upgrade.
Amazon Kindle (2022) for $85 ($15 off)Amazon
It feels like it's been 84 years since we've seen a decent Kindle deal on a model other than the Scribe. This Kindle is the smallest and cheapest, but we still recommend it. This model doesn't go on sale often and this is the best price we've tracked since May, including over Amazon Prime Day. The Kindle doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles. It's not waterproof and it doesn't have page-turn buttons. But it's easy to hold in one hand, a charge lasts for weeks, and it can hold thousands of books. There's an optional three-month Kindle Unlimited trial—I really love this service and think it's worth a shot if you're an avid reader (or aspiring to be one). Just remember to cancel if you don't want it to renew.
Roku Streaming Stick 4K for $34 ($16 off)Amazon
The Roku Streaming Stick 4K is our favorite Roku and our favorite streaming stick overall. The Roku interface is dead simple to use, and there's built-in voice search right on the remote. Roku also has a variety of free channels that you can watch. I binged all of How It's Made right after setting mine up. It also plugs directly into your TV's HDMI port so there won't be pesky wires in the way.
Razer Blade 18 (2024) Gaming Laptop for $2,800 ($300 off)AmazonBest BuyRazer
An ultra-portable, sleek gaming laptop is all fun and games (pun intended) until you run out of storage or your battery starts dying halfway through a dungeon run. The newest Razer Blade 18 (8/10, WIRED Review) isn't the most portable gaming laptop, but it's definitely powerful. The Mini LED display is stunning, and the graphics look smooth and sharp, partially thanks to the 300-Hz refresh rate. We do wish it was less expensive, but this sale matches the best deal we've seen.
Ultimate Ears Boom 4 Bluetooth Speaker for $120 ($30 off)Amazon
Our very favorite Bluetooth speaker hardly ever goes on sale, especially not for this price. It has great sound, it's durable, and it boasts 100 feet of Bluetooth range. It also comes in a few dazzling colors. Add waterproofing and excellent battery life, and this speaker checks all the boxes you need to get a party started.
Amazon Echo Spot (2024) for $55 ($25 off)AmazonBest Buy
The Echo Spot (7/10, WIRED Review) is a small speaker-slash-smart-display. It makes a very handy nightstand companion. There's a little screen that can display what you're currently listening to, the weather, and the time, and Alexa is built in to answer all your burning questions (like “How old is Matthew McConaughey? And what's his skin care routine?”). It doesn't have the best sound quality, but it's plenty loud enough to play your morning alarms or soothing whale noises while you fall asleep.
Apple AirPods Max for $399 ($150 off)AmazonBest Buy
There's a chance that the Apple AirPods Max (8/10, WIRED Recommends) will be replaced at Apple's upcoming event in September. But right now they're the best over-ear headphones for iPhone owners. They're normally way too expensive for our tastes, but this price comes within $5 of the lowest we've seen. The sound quality is excellent, the fit is comfortable, and the noise cancelation is top-notch. We don't love the included carrying case, but we have some recommendations for other options.
Blink Mini 2 Indoor Camera for $30 ($10 off)Amazon
The Blink Mini 2 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is a great, affordable indoor security camera. It has solid video quality, even in low light, and it's so compact that you can put it basically anywhere. There are a few smart features like on-device person detection and customizable privacy zones. Just be aware that there's a monthly subscription that starts at $3 per month or $30 per year for a single camera.
Courant Mag:3 Classics Wireless Charging Tray for $150 ($50 off)CourantAmazon (Select Colors)
The Mag:3 is a gorgeous, MagSafe-compatible wireless charging tray that looks pretty on a coffee table or nightstand. It'll top off your phone and wireless earbuds simultaneously, and the other side of the tray is great to hold your keys, sunglasses, or other daily carry. There's even a 10-watt USB-C port to plug in and charge up another gadget.
OtterBox Cases and Accessories: 20 Percent offOtterBox
We recommend OtterBox cases in several buying guides, including cases for the Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy S24, iPhone 15, plus Apple Watch accessories and more. Almost all of them are 20 percent off right now—no coupon code required. If you're in the market for a durable, reliable phone case, now is an easy time to save some cash.
Home Deals
Saatva Rx Mattress for $2,895 (Queen) ($400 off)—Coupon Applied During CheckoutSaatva
Our coupon link will get you $400 off any Saatva mattress, and it brings the price of the Saatva Rx down to $50 less than we've seen before. This is our favorite mattress for pressure relief. There are seven layers in this mattress, including one designed for lumbar support and one to help you regulate your body temperature overnight. WIRED reviewer Nena Farrell said it totally erased the majority of her pressure and muscle pains overnight. Our roundup of the Best Labor Day Mattress Deals has additional recommendations.
Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set for $230 ($50 off)Cozy Earth
Cozy Earth is offering 20 percent off a variety of goods for Labor Day. We quite like the brand's Bamboo Sheets, which are soft and silky to the touch. They warm up and make your bed feel like you're swimming in a pool of melted butter (in a good way). We also love the Bamboo Hoodie ($50 off) for layering—it'll be especially great once things start to cool down outside.
Tushy Classic 3.0 Bidet for $97 ($42 off)Tushy
Tushy makes our favorite non-electric bidet, and right now it's even more affordable than usual. The best part is that it's nonelectric so you can place it in any bathroom—no outlet required. There are a variety of finishes to choose from to make it match your toilet or bathroom decor. The controls are simple, but this bidet gets the job done, and you won't need a professional to help you install it.
Roborock Q5 Pro+ Robot Vacuum for $330 ($370 off)—Click the Coupon ButtonAmazon
We've seen this drop lower only once or twice in the past, but this deal is still solid. The Roborock Q5 Pro+ is the very best robot vacuum. It's the upgraded version of the Roborock Q5+ (9/10, WIRED Recommends). The biggest change is that this model has a built-in mop to help get rid of sticky spills as well as dust bunnies. It's fast and has decent suction, and the app makes it easy to set routines or designate cleaning zones. Sometimes robot vacuums are more trouble than they're worth, but this one consistently gets the job done reliably.
Great Jones Deep Cut Skillet for $94 ($31 off)—Use Code POPCORNGreat Jones
I really like this multipurpose pan. It's a cross between a skillet, a frying pan, and a sauté pan. It heats up evenly, it's easy to clean, and you can make basically anything in it—from one-pot pasta dishes to fried eggs to pan sauces and stews. I also like The Dutchess, an enameled Dutch oven that's my sidekick when making pot roast in the winter. It falls to $135 ($45 off) after coupon code POPCORN.
Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Kettle for $132 ($33 off)AmazonSur la TableFellow
The Fellow Stagg EKG precise gooseneck kettle (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is one of the best electric kettles on the market. Yes, it's expensive, but we don't see it fall lower than this very often. The spout is perfect for pour-over coffee, and the kettle is easy to clean and heats up quickly. You can dial specific temperatures for the utmost control over your brewing experience (great for tea too!), and the kettle keeps water warm for over an hour. Best of all, it will look fantastic on your countertop.
Keurig K-Mini Single-Serve Coffee Maker for $60 ($30 off)AmazonTarget
Let's be clear: Keurigs aren't renowned for making gourmet coffee. But this little single-serve brewer takes up very little space—I have one in my office on my desk, but you can also put them in a classroom or dorm with ease. They come in a variety of cute colors. And they can brew a cup of coffee when you need one. We've seen this model drop to $50 during Black Friday, but $60 is still a solid deal price.
Branch Ergonomic Office Chair for $296 ($33 off)—Use Code LABORDAYBranch
Use code LABORDAY at checkout to save 10 percent on our top office chair pick or almost anything else on Branch's website. It's a bit pricier than the best price we've tracked ($280), but this is still a good deal on a very durable and reliable chair. You can adjust nearly every aspect of it, from the armrests to the headrest to the seat depth, and it has held up well over years of testing. Read more about it and other recommendations in our Office Chair Buying Guide.
Outdoor and Health Deals
Traeger Ironwood 650 Pellet Grill for $999 ($300 off)Amazon
This is the best pellet grill for most people. The Ironwood 650 (7/10, WIRED Review) is Wi-Fi powered, so you can keep tabs on everything through your phone. There are lots of good recipes on the app as well. The grill is easy to clean and operate. We wish it was less expensive, but this deal makes it more accessible.
Cotopaxi Semiannual Sale: Up to 50 Percent offCotopaxi
Cotopaxi is offering up to 50 percent off a huge variety of bags and accessories. I'm a big fan of the Cotopaxi Del Día Convertible Tote, on sale for $45 ($30 off). It's made of repurposed nylon and polyester, and since it's a Del Día the colors will be a surprise when the item arrives. The main compartment is cavernous, and the backpack straps stay comfy all day long.
Therm-a-Rest Vesper Down Quilt 32 for $300 ($100 off)REI
This lightweight quilt is revered by backpackers. It weighs less than a pound and will keep you warm in temperatures as low as the 40s Fahrenheit. It can be compressed to the size of a water bottle and won't weigh your pack down—and most importantly, it's efficient, making the little space it takes up a worthy trade-off. Make sure to check out our roundup of the Best REI Labor Day Deals for additional picks.
Porter Road Meat Subscriptions: 15 Percent offPorter Road
Porter Road makes one of our favorite meat subscription boxes, specifically for pasture-raised meat. There's a wide selection of beef, pork, and chicken cuts, and WIRED reviewer Scott Gilbertson found the pricing structure per-pound to be similar to his local farms and butchers. Nearly every cut is 15 percent off for Labor Day.
Lelo Sona 2 Cruise Vibrator for $75 ($75 off)Amazon
I'm gonna be honest: My eyes popped out of my head a bit when I saw this deal price. It's staggeringly low—$45 lower than what Lelo itself is selling it for. If you're in the market for a suction toy that's good for targeted stimulation on all sorts of erogenous zones, we recommend the Lelo Sona 2 Cruise. It's gorgeous, it's easy to hold in one hand, and it's great for every body. The deal price is icing on the cake.
