2018-11-01 17:00:46 UTCWe probably didn’t have to tell you this, but Amazon has no chill.
Nov. 1 seems to be the start date for crazy holiday deals this year, with retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Macy’s all getting in on the action. Amazon has amazing deals year round for literally no reason, but it seems that when they realized their competitors were jumping into Black Friday early this year, they got out their battle gear.
Prices on robot vacuums, gaming laptops, kitchen gear, and many things in between have already been slashed, and we are so ready. A few of the stunners are listed below, but you can shop three plus pages of deals here.
Cleaning sucks — make a robot do it. The Roomba 801 offers extreme suction on all types of floor and debris (stronger than its little brothers, the 600 and 700), iAdapt smart navigation sensors to keep it in a desired area, and cleaning schedules for seven days at a time — oh, and the street cred that comes with having a Roomba. Save $70.99 and get it for $279.
Talk about a superior gaming experience: The 17.3-inch Omen from HP is equipped with an Intel Core i7-7700HQ 2.8GHz Quad-Core processor, GeForce GTX 1070 graphics, and a 120 Hz refresh rate for lifelike graphics and zero lag. Don’t let the refurbished part scare you — Amazon tests all refurbished products and gets the thumbs up from qualified suppliers that the products work and look like new. (There’s a 90-day warranty if you’re not happy, though.) Save $600 and get it for $1,399.99.
Who’s gonna turn down the chance to make life easier? This bundle contains the brand new 3rd generation Echo Dot — featuring a sleek new fabric look, better speakers, and a more accurate microphone for Alexa — with a 4-pack of Tile Mate Bluetooth trackers to help keep tabs on phones, wallets, keys, and other things that constantly go missing. Save $49.99 and get it for $49.99. (Yup, it’s half off.)
Peace of mind is priceless, but Blink HD security cameras are pretty close — and they’re on sale. Waterproof, inconspicuous, and motion sensing, these little cameras can be placed indoors or out and will alert you when any movement is detected. Ask Alexa to show you a specific room, or use the app to keep tabs from wherever you are. Save $20 and get it for $110.49.
