As the top pick in our best mesh routers guide for the past few years, this tri-band Wi-Fi 6 router two-pack comes pre-paired for easy setup. It scored consistently high for speed and stability, and will cover the average home. You get Wi-Fi on the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz bands, with an extra 5-GHz band for wireless backhaul (traffic between the main router and the node). Asus mesh systems are great because they come with free, comprehensive security software and parental controls (no subscription required). The XT8 is also highly customizable, boasts a guest network, and offers traffic prioritization for specific activities, such as video calls, gaming, and more. —Simon Hill

This router is at the top of our best routers guide and is affordable even when it’s not discounted for Prime Day. It’s a dual-band (2.4-GHz and 5-GHz) router that should be plenty fast for most families and offers suitable coverage for an average-sized home with an internet connection of 1 Gbps or less. Connectivity is generous, with four gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, a single gigabit WAN port, and a USB 3.0 port. Set up is super simple, TP-Link’s Tether app is very accessible, and basic security and features like QoS (Quality of Service) are included. Unfortunately, enhanced security and parental controls require subscriptions (Security+ is $5 a month or $36 a year and Advanced Parental Controls costs $3 a month or $18 a year). This router is frequently discounted, but this is a good price. —Simon Hill

The TP-Link Deco X20 is a Wi-Fi 6 dual-band (2.4-GHz and 5-GHz) mesh system that provides reliable Wi-Fi on a budget. It’s not the fastest mesh, but it is easy to set up and performed consistently well in my tests. If your internet connection is 500 Mbps or less, this mesh is likely enough for you. Each router has two gigabit Ethernet ports, and the vaselike design blends in easily in any room. For enhanced security and parental controls, you must subscribe (Security+ costs $5 a month or $36 a year, and Advanced Parental Controls costs $3 a month or $18 a year). But, even with the subscriptions, the X20 is a relatively affordable way to up your Wi-Fi game. —Simon Hill

This tri-band mesh system (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz) scored some of the fastest speeds we have recorded, delivered consistently wide coverage, and blew away all the competition at close range. It only made the honorable mentions of our best mesh routers guide because it was so expensive when it was first tested. At this price, it’s worth a look. It uses the 6-GHz band for backhaul, so the routers ideally need line of sight (or better, Ethernet cable connection). The simple app offers most features you will need, but there’s no internet speed test, and subscriptions are required for real-time security and proper parental controls. —Simon Hill

This is our favorite wearable reading light, and it also makes an excellent gift for bookworms. It might look a little silly, but it performs well, and you won’t have to clip it anywhere. It’s very lightweight and comfortable even during long reading sessions. There are three color temperature modes and six brightness settings, and the rechargeable light offers up to 80 hours of battery life per charge. There are a few different colors to choose from. —Louryn Strampe

Click the coupon button to see the discount at checkout. This little Bluetooth mic is one of our favorite gifts for music lovers and favorite pieces of gear for less than $30. The mic pairs with your phone and has built-in reverb and delay, so you’ll sound like a pop-starrier version of yourself. It’s also available in a kaleidoscope of different colors. The speaker is baked right into the handle so you won’t need any special equipment to host a karaoke gathering with your friends. Or yourself. You do you. —Louryn Strampe

This flashy LED-lit microphone from HyperX (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has a clever gain control knob that makes it easy to set your levels, and has an easy tap-to-mute button that makes sure your team isn’t hearing you ask your Mom for more tendies. It sounds much better than the cheap mic that’s built into your laptop, and can work super well whether you’re in need of a mic for Zoom meetings or late-night WoW raids. —Parker Hall

This set of wireless microphones from Australian audio brand RØDE works well if you’re always filming on the go. You just clip each mic to the lapel of the person you want to record, and it records wirelessly for you to use later. It’s a really simple solution that makes it so you don’t have to mess with traditional (and often annoying) Lavalier microphone setups like you’ve seen on late-night TV. —Parker Hall

As the most secure pick in our best USB flash drives guide, the Kingston IronKey is packed with security features. Run Kingston’s software to set up a password or passphrase, use the virtual keyboard to guard against keyloggers, and rest assured the contents will be automatically erased after 10 wrong attempts. It is FIPS 197 certified and has 256-bit AES-XTS encryption, offers protection against brute-force attacks and BadUSB, and is manufactured in the US so is TAA compliant. In other words, this drive is as secure as they come. —Simon Hill

The Western Digital WD Black SN770 is our favorite bare drive, whether you’re putting it in your laptop or PC or sticking it in an external case to use as a portable drive. The SN 770 is an M.2 2280 drive (check your PC’s specs to see if that fits) and achieved speeds of 5,100 Mbps in my testing, which is blazing fast. If you’re doing a lot of drive-intensive tasks, like editing video or gaming, this drive is well worth the money. —Scott Gilbertson

Crucial’s X9 Pro is our pick for photographers because it hits the sweet spot of speed and portability, making it great for backups in the field. The X10 featured in this deal is even faster than the X9 if your PC supports USB 2X2. (The latest Intel chips support this spec, but Apple does not, so there’s no point in buying the X10 Pro if you have a Mac.) In my testing I got up to 2,050 Mbps transfer speeds, which are some of the fastest on the market. If your hardware supports it, the X10 Pro is worth the extra money. —Scott Gilbertson

The Anker 778 is one of our older picks for the Best Laptop Docking Stations, and it’s still a great choice when it goes on sale. It can support up to four 4K displays at once, has six USB ports for connecting all your peripherals, and offers up to 100W of pass-through charging for all your devices. —Eric Ravenscraft

The Elegoo Saturn 3 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is one of my personal favorite gadgets. Just, in general. It’s unbelievably cool to download a little file, fire up this 3D printer, and watch a physical object slowly emerge out of a basin of goo. It’s the most sci-fi thing in my life, and the Saturn 3 Ultra is one of the best tools I’ve used for the job. It has a generous print volume, Wi-Fi printing, and an insanely detailed 12K screen, meaning you can get a ton of intricate detail in very small models, all without noticeable print lines. —Eric Ravenscraft

Since moving into my new house, my favorite smart home gadget has been the Chamberlain Smart Garage Door Opener, which lets me control my garage door from anywhere. Between my two-year-old stealing the physical button the builders gave me and my husband previously turning around to check if he really closed the garage door, the Chamberlain MyQ Smart Garage Door Opener (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has made an immediate improvement in our lives. It replaces the garage door opener with one you can control remotely over Wi-Fi and has a built-in camera too. No more fighting my kid for the magic button, or insisting my husband definitely did close the garage: now we open the MyQ app and solve these problems immediately. I also like having alerts if I leave the garage door open too long, and the built-in camera lets you check on things, too. Pair it with the MyQ Video Keypad ($55) to have a video doorbell and entry code for your smart garage. —Nena Farrell

If you're looking to upgrade your garage door without replacing the opener, never fear: there's a way to do that, too, and it's on sale. Chamberlain's Smart Garage Control is a gadget you can add onto your existing garage door opener to make it Wi-Fi controlled. You won't get extras like the built-in camera, but you'll be able to control it the same way over the MyQ app like you would with the full on garage door replacement. Might be good to add on the MyQ Smart Garage Camera ($30) to control in the same MyQ app if you're wishing for a video feed, though. —Nena Farrell

Cync, made by appliance and electronics brand GE, makes fantastic smart bulbs. So fantastic, that the Full Color Direct Connect line is our favorite smart bulb ever. They're colorful, vibrant, easy to set up, and work with both Alexa and Google’s voice assistants. This two-pack is almost half off, so you're getting one bulb basically for free. (A little bit of girl math there, but you get me.) Stock up on a few packs and deck out the whole house in these well-priced, easy-to-use bulbs. —Nena Farrell

Smart plugs are pretty darn handy to turn almost anything into a smart device without changing anything about the device itself. They're best on lamps, but can also be used on Christmas lights, TVs, coffee makers, or even your router (no more hunting it down to reset it, just turn the smart plug off and then back on after 30 seconds!) TP-Link makes a variety of great smart plugs, including the Kasa Smart line.

The Kasa Smart Plug Mini is nice and small, making it easy to use without blocking a neighboring outlet. Use the app to make routines and scenes like you would smart lights, so that your house comes to life for you, or to act like you're home when you aren't. This four-pack is a great deal to upgrade multiple lamps and devices around your home. If you want just one, individuals are on sale too for $7 each. —Nena Farrell

Click the coupon button to see the discount at checkout. For my Siri-loving friends, this is the smart plug for you. Meross makes some of the more expensive smart plugs, but they're one of the few that play nice with Apple, making sale season a perfect time to score some of your own. It still can work with Google and Alexa, too, if you think you might change your voice assistant of choice down the line. The Meross Wi-Fi Smart Plug Mini is a nice petite size to fit into an outlet without blocking the other outlet. You’ll also score four smart plugs with this on-sale pack, making the price tag for each one a little closer to its cheaper, non-Apple-compatible competitors. —Nena Farrell

This gorgeous Edison-style bulb from Philips has been in my bedroom sconces for five years now, and I have no plans to change it. It works via Bluetooth or a Philips Hue Bridge ($54) so I can either control it remotely when I'm in my room, or set up a hub to control it from afar and set up automated routines. While it can’t do colors like other smart bulbs, you can adjust the brightness of the bulb, dimming or brightening the filament inside of it. It's bright enough to fill a master bedroom, and downright beautiful to have peeking out of my bedside lights. —Nena Farrell

The most iconic smart light bulb is easily the Philips Hue. The bulb has been around for ages, and the bulbs usually require a Philips Hue Bridge ($54) to make it work. Philips Hue also makes tons of accessories, and sells their bulbs in bundles with the hub, a couple bulbs, and sometimes extra accessories. Several solid bundles are on sale. The classic is the two-bulb starter kit with a hub that's on sale for $90, but you can also score a kit with a third bulb and a smart switch discounted to $126, or get a dimmer switch with your two bulbs on sale for $120. The choice is yours—just make sure to count how many bulbs you need to make sure you buy the right size kit. —Nena Farrell

The Skylight Frame is an honorable mention from our guide to the best digital picture frames. It looks great on your shelf, and it's easy to zoom in on a photo using the frame's touchscreen. It’s not quite as high resolution as our other recommendations, but if you aren’t planning to look too closely or want a digital frame for a nice discount, this one is great to grab. The Skylight can display in either landscape or portrait mode, and comes with a wall mounting kit if you don't want to prop it up on a shelf or table. There's a subscription level, but we don't think you need it. —Nena Farrell

The Aura Carver is our top pick for digital photo frames, but right now you can get the upgraded Carver Mat for the same price you’d get the regular model for. The Carver Mat upgrades the 10.1-inch digital photo frame’s look to give it a mat-style frame job, and looks much more than just a $30 upgrade. And right now that $30 extra is gone, thanks to Amazon Prime Day. Aura’s a fantastic brand for digital photo frames thanks to how easy the frames are to set up and manage with the app, letting you easily add photos from your camera roll or Google Photos. You can even scan your kid’s drawings with the Aura app to then display. —Nena Farrell

Many of our favorite smart lighting devices are made by Govee, including this colorful, bright, segmented light strip that is perfect for recessed spots, under beds, or behind furniture. This light strip doesn’t just change color and brightness, it can also be animated, sync with music, and be voice-controlled through Google or Alexa. It can be fiddly to install the adhesive-backed strip, so plan carefully, measure first, and try to hide it so you get the splashed light but don’t see the strip directly. The 100-foot strip on sale here comes in two 50-foot rolls. —Simon Hill

The Govee smart light system is one of the more affordable smart light systems out there and we have a whole guide to the best lights in just this one ecosystem. The Envisual T2 set is Govee’s go at ambient TV lighting that complements what’s on your screen, helping your movies and shows pop more. —Eric Ravenscraft

Dyson’s Ball Animal 3 vacuum (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is great for unruly pet hair. It has more bin capacity than the previous version and comes with a Motorbar cleaner head with detangling hair-removal vanes. It has three different power modes to choose from: one for deep- and medium-pile carpets, another for low-pile carpets and large debris, and one for ground-in dirt and hardwood floors. It’s easy to maneuver, especially around awkward spaces and tight corners, and the bin never clogs up with fur. It is heavy and loud, though. But aside from that, it’s an excellent corded vacuum for pet owners. —Brenda Stolyar

For two years, Roborock’s Q5 line was our top pick for Best Robot Vacuum. Roborock has since enlarged its lineup, and the Q5 is now the entry-level vac (the Pro refers to increased suction, and the + refers to the docking station). However, the Q5 Pro+ still has a self-emptying bin, dual vacuum/mop capabilities, and solid lidar navigation controlled by a simple app. For reliable, hassle-free cleaning (and now for a very good price), it’s hard to do better than a Roborock. —Adrienne So

The Matrix is the newest version of the Shark AI Ultra, the 2-in-1 mopping vacuum that earned a “Most Improved Award” from me in 2022. Like most companies that purport to offer maximum value for minimum price, Shark has products that can be hit or miss. Happily, however, the Matrix is one of the hits, as I found it to be a reliable cleaning companion with quick and accurate mapping, multifunctional mopping, and vacuuming. It doesn’t need replacement dust bags—which is both a blessing and a curse, as the self-emptying dustbin sometimes doesn’t empty quite all the way. —Adrienne So

This is Yeedi's higher-end mopping robot vacuum, and Yeedi has won another “Most Improved” award from us. I found this to be a reliable cleaning companion, and it even has an extendable arm for exploring nooks and crannies. The clean/dirty water tanks are also enormous. At the original $900 price, the Eufy options are better, but this is a great price for a mopping robot vacuum that you won't have to refresh nearly so often. —Adrienne So

The Eufy X10 Pro Omni (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is so much better than its predecessor that I can hardly believe it, and it doesn’t cost $1,400 (and it’s even cheaper on Prime Day). Now with a self-emptying bin, and a hilarious AI obstacle recognition system that errs on the side of caution and tends to identify a lot of non-poop-related items as poop. Mapping is seamless and includes the ability to save multiple floors; mopping is excellent, and the dirty and clean water bins click into the top without wasting space with unnecessary housing. It is great, and now it’s even more affordable. —Adrienne So

This Kohler bidet attachment is our pick as the best bidet for most people, narrowly edging out better-known offerings from Toto, the Japanese company that invented the attachable bidet seat. The C3 is easy to install (expect to spend about a half hour unless your toilet is wedged into a corner where it’s hard to reach the valves), has a sleek look, and is normally a few hundred bucks cheaper than the Toto with the same features, which include backup buttons on the seat itself (in case the remote dies) and a UV sanitization light. Right now it’s a steal at below $600. —Martin Cizmar

The Homedics Large Room Tower Air Purifier can complete the recommended air exchange in a 349-square-foot room every 12.5 minutes; this is a slightly larger area than the Homedics Smart Air Purifier T200 that I included in our Best Air Purifiers guide. At under $300, the Tower Air has a UV-C light that can deactivate viruses and bacteria, a HEPA, an activated Carbon Odor Filter for VOCs, and a prefilter that captures larger airborne particles. While it’s not Wi-Fi-enabled to work with an app or voice-activated assistant, it has a color-coded particle sensor that can automatically adjust the fan speed depending on indoor air quality. And like its smaller sibling, the T200, the Tower Air has a tray for essential oils that do not impact indoor air quality like air-polluting room air freshener sprays or plug-in air fresheners. —Lisa Wood Shapiro

When I included the rocket-shaped Shark NeverChange Air Purifier Max in WIRED’s lineup of the Best Air Purifiers of 2024, I recommended it as the ideal gift for your dorm-bound loved ones. Standing just under 2 feet tall, the NeverChange can be placed as close as 3 inches from a wall, making it a good fit for crowded spaces. The average American dorm room is around 230 square feet, and the Shark NeverChange succeeds at exchanging the air the five recommended times per hour—perfect for a multiple-person dorm room. One caveat: To achieve that level of air purification, the NeverChange must be at its highest setting, which is to say its loudest setting. The NeverChange HEPA filter captures fine particles along with an activated carbon filter to trap odors and gases. It also includes Shark’s own “Odor Neutralizer Technology,” a small cartridge filled with an “Ocean Breeze” fragrance pod that looks like solid perfume. I would skip this, as I didn’t care for the scent. —Lisa Wood Shapiro

The Mighty from air purifier stalwarts Coway might have the best bang for your buck when it comes to getting good air. It made our list of WIRED’s Best Air Purifiers of 2024, and at under $250, the Mighty can handily clean a 361-square-foot room, exchanging the air the recommended 4.8 times per hour. Note that this is based on running the Mighty at its highest and loudest setting at 53 decibels. As I’ve written before, you most likely won’t want that kind of white noise 24/7, so I suggest fitting the Mighty in a room around 200 square feet or smaller to run it at a quieter setting while still benefiting from a high air exchange rate. The Mighty has a built-in air sensor and air quality light with Coway’s color system that is sometimes confusing, as it’s the same as the US Air Quality Index standards of green for good, red for unhealthy, and purple for very unhealthy. At just over 12 pounds, the boxlike Mighty feels lighter than that with its easy-to-grab back handle. It isn’t compatible with Google Home or Amazon’s Alexa, nor does it have a remote or app. —Lisa Wood Shapiro

The Coway Airmega ProX is the monolith your high-ceilinged home needs. If you’re living in an A-frame, loft, or any home with a ceiling higher than 8 feet, then the Coway Airmega ProX is for you. The ProX reminds me of the TARS robot from Interstellar crossed with a giant stereo speaker. It’s blend-into-the-room-beige and can clean the air four times per hour in a 1,000-foot-space running at its highest setting. And even at its highest setting, the ProX delivers its maximum air cleaning power at 46 decibels, slightly quieter than rain, making it one of the quieter large tower air purifiers I’ve tested. The control panel features Coway’s real-time air quality indicator light that goes from blue to purple, along with the PM 2.5 number that’s sometimes difficult to read depending on the angle. There are three customizable airflow speeds. I prefer to leave it on auto mode, as its air sensor adjusts the fan speed. I was able to move the 50-pound ProX by its handle and built-in wheels. While the ProX is one of the more expensive models I’ve tested, the five-year warranty puts it in the wise investment category. —Lisa Wood Shapiro

The HealthSmart humidifier lamp is an LED lamp that sheds gentle multicolored light, which can help you wind down at bedtime. It’s one of our picks in our guide to Gifts for People Who Just Need a Good Night’s Sleep, and right now it’s on sale for almost half its original price. The humidifier inside plays two roles to help bring on the Zzzs. First, if you’re stuffy or a little sick, a humidifier can help keep your nasal passages from getting too inflamed while you sleep. It can also be used to diffuse essential oils for a little aromatherapy or to just freshen a room. (Just know that some essential oils can be dangerous to pets.) This humidifier lamp also features a smart touch panel to control the lighting (which has seven different colors that can cycle or stay on one), mist modes, and a timer. —Molly Higgins

The best smart shades can be expensive, but if you already have a roller blind you can make it smart with this clever retrofit gadget from Eve. Check compatibility by measuring the circumference of the tube inside your existing roller shade. This kit works with Matter, so you can use it with your platform of choice, but you will also need a home hub (with Apple HomeKit, for example, that is a HomePod mini, HomePod, or Apple TV) if you want to schedule it to open and close automatically or use voice commands. Mine works great and I love the handy pull chain as a simple control backup, but it is a bit noisy. —Simon Hill

The most iconic smart light bulb is easily the Philips Hue. The bulb has been around for ages, and the bulbs usually require a Philips Hue Hub to make it work. Philips Hue also makes tons of accessories, and sells their bulbs in bundles with the hub, a couple bulbs, and sometimes extra accessories. Several solid bundles are on sale. The classic is the two-bulb starter kit with a hub that's on sale for $90, but you can also score a kit with a third bulb and a smart switch discounted to $126, or get a dimmer switch with your two bulbs on sale for $120. The choice is yours—just make sure to count how many bulbs you need to make sure you buy the right size kit. —Nena Farrell

Every Nectar mattress I’ve tested (three now) has been on the soft side for my taste, which is why Nectar is not ranked highly on our guide to the Best Mattresses. But this bed-in-a-box company has a loyal following. If your top priority is pressure relief, this gel memory foam mattress offers a very soft and cloudlike sleeping surface with lots of sink. If you don’t like it, Nectar also offers a 365-day return window. —Martin Cizmar

The main differences between the regular Nectar above and this upgrade are that the Premier is a little softer and offers a cooling cover. It’s even better for pressure relief and motion transfer if those are your priorities. —Martin Cizmar

This is our top pick in our Best Pillows guide, and it’s not hard—in fact, it’s rather soft and squishy—to see why. I live in Texas, where it’s summer nine months out of the year, and this pillow still manages to stay cool throughout the night. It features a multilayer structure with a sturdy foam core to keep its shape, flanked by softer memory core layers to cushion your head. No matter how many pillows I test, I keep finding myself reaching for this one when I need a really good nap. —Eric Ravenscraft

Many folks find watches and other wearables uncomfortable when they're trying to sleep, so this clever sleep tracking mat that goes under your mattress is a nice alternative. Easy to set up and use, it tracks your heart rate, breaks your sleep cycle down into phases, and can detect snoring. The mat syncs with the Withings Health Mate app to show your data each morning. It appears in our best sleep gadgets and best sleep trackers guides. —Simon Hill

This 57-inch pillow combines popular body- and pregnancy-pillow U and C shapes for a unique form that provides all-around support to your back and stomach. It’s perfect for side sleepers and is like having three pillows in one—it conforms to both your back and belly while supporting the head, and the bottom part is long enough to support the legs, knees, and hip joints. This unique shape even curls for ankle support, ensuring that no joint goes unsupported. It strikes a perfect balance between softness and support and retains its shape without too much fill movement. Bonus: It comes in multiple cover types, so you can opt for a lighter cotton fabric cover if you sleep hot. —Molly Higgins

The Zinus Abel bed frame is one of our top picks. WIRED reviewer Nena Farrell has successfully used it in three different apartments. It’s easy to break down into several metal rods, and it’s fast to rebuild once you’ve settled in. The bed frame has room underneath for storage bins (or piles of laundry that you just don’t want to think about yet.) If you’re in the market for a mattress too, here are some recommendations. —Louryn Strampe

This Roxicosly clock is one of the most reviewed nontraditional alarm clocks on Amazon and is one I tested for my guide to the best extreme alarm clocks. It’s semi-customizable, as the buzzer goes up to 106 decibels with a bed shaker that can be used separately or together with the alarm. The vibrations provide a more subtle way to wake up by forgoing the jarring alarm sounds, and the escalating pattern of the buzzing helps ease the snoozer into wakefulness. The vibrations, along with the noise and adjustable intensity, helped me wake up easily—without making me feel like I needed to immediately turn it off so I didn’t have a cardiac event. I woke up without hitting the snooze button too much or turning off the alarm altogether. I’ll count that as a win. —Molly Higgins
