What we like: Another good option from our guide to the best air purifiers. Exceptional air purification for larger spaces. Reduced particulates by 99.9% on high and 99.7% on medium, even with year-old filters that had been running 24/7.

Other things to know: Former upgrade pick, demoted because our current upgrade pick typically costs less. Rarely goes on sale, and this sale makes it more comparable in price to our upgrade pick. Lowest price we've seen this year.

What we like: Our new upcoming top pick for the best portable Bluetooth speaker. The latest version of our longtime favorite top pick, now with USB-C charging. Small, round, and incredibly durable with a IP67 water-resistance rating.

Other things to know: Design has not changed, meaning it's still a little chunky and can feel slightly ungainly when packing. In addition to waterproofing, it's also dustproof, can survive a 5-foot drop onto concrete, and it floats. Battery lasted 11 hours during testing. Price reflects in cart with free Target Circle membership.

What we like: Our wireless power bank pick with two USB charging ports. Can charge most phones up to three times. MagSafe wireless charging pad, USB-C PD port, and USB-A port have a combined output of 18 W. Anker's customer support is fast and reliable.

Other things to know: Kickstand is a bit flimsy but still handy. Two-year warranty. If you don't need both the USB-C PD and USB-A ports, our top pick with one USB-C PD port is consistently more affordable. On sale in black. Price reflects in cart.

What we like: Our top pick for best USB-C power bank for most laptops. Comes with a high-quality 65 W charging brick and USB-C cable. Two USB-C PD ports deliver up to 87 W, and two USB-A ports charge at up to 15 W. Easy-carry 1.2 pound weight. Ruggedly built yet sleek-looking.

Other things to know: No pass-through charging, so you can’t charge other devices while the power bank itself is charging. No information screen, but a ring of small lights signals when it’s charging and roughly how much battery life remains. 18-month warranty. Down to a new low, price reflects in cart.

What we like: Our top pick for the best MacBook. Compared with previous generations it has a brighter display, better webcam, MagSafe magnetic port, and other design updates that make for an overall better experience. Great option for everyday work tasks, browsing, streaming media, and playing App Store games.

Other things to know: We think the less expensive M2-based model is a better buy than the newer M3 MacBook unless you want to use two monitors. Not ideal for editing or processing large media files for extended periods. Comes with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD.

What we like: A nice accessory for those who own one of our Xbox game console picks. This subscription service gives you access to online console multiplayer, a catalog of over 25 games, and discounts on select other games. Buying 12 months of Game Pass Core offers the best value.

Other things to know: Used to be called Xbox Live Gold, but still fulfills the exact same function. Email delivery. Non-returnable and non-refundable. Not the lowest price we've seen but still a solid deal. Use promo code SSDTHLYDU863.

What we like: A variation on our budget pick, the KickScooter F30. Has lighter weight, room for a lock, higher rider weight, and more claimed range (a claimed 24.9 miles vs the F30, which we got just over 10 miles out of in testing. We'd expect the F40 to go a greater distance than the F30, but it's unlikely to hit the claimed range).

Other things to know: Weighs 33.3 pounds. Maximum rider weight is 265 pounds. Not the lowest price we've seen.

What we like: A microfiber cloth we like and mention in our guide on how to clean a laptop. Good quality and should remove debris without leaving any scratches or marks.

Other things to know: Any freebie microfiber cloths that come with eyeglasses, TVs, monitors, or laptops will do a fine job cleaning your computer. Deal is for a pack of 30 cloths.

What we like: The 75-inch version of our budget pick for the best gaming TV. Specifically outfitted to complement modern PC and console gaming. Bright and responsive. Built-in Google TV. “Game Accelerator 120” feature accepts 1080p 120 Hz and 1440p 120 Hz signals, utilizes variable refresh rate, and reduces effective screen resolution.

Other things to know: Lacks local dimming, mini-LED technology, and HDMI 2.1 support. 60 Hz refresh rate. Worse response and time and higher input lag than other picks, but also less than 30% of the price of our top picks. We don’t recommend the Q6 if your priority is more-cinematic TV and movie watching, but a great option for gaming-focused people.

What we like: The newest generation of our smaller Amazon Alexa smart display pick. Ideal for nightstands or bathroom counters. Works via voice commands or touch controls. Plays music, podcasts, weather, and more. Communicates with other smart-home devices. Display auto-dims when you turn out the lights.

Other things to know:  Small 5½-inch screen. Not as loud as our main picks. Comes with camera lens cover for privacy. We've seen it drop just a bit lower before, but not since 2023.

What we like: Our Amazon Alexa smart speaker pick for listening to audio and chatting with Alexa. Impressive sound for the size and and price. Good listening capability for voice commands. Enables setup and control of smart-home devices. Built-in Zigbee support.

Other things to know: The more expensive Echo Studio has far better audio quality. Can pair with other Echo speakers to create a multiroom audio system. Higher price than previous deals we've seen in the past.

What we like: Clear, loud sound in a compact form. Half the price of other Amazon Echo products. Bluetooth and 3.5-mm stereo jack connections. Built-in Eero Wi-Fi can extend an Eero router's mesh network. Good intro to Amazon/Alexa ecosystem.

Other things to know: More expensive Echos offer better audio and call quality. Doesn't make video calls. We are still testing how well the Dot works with an Eero Wi-Fi system.

What we like: Our top pick for the best standalone VR headset has a cord-free design and convincing hand tracking, with the added option to plug it in to a PC to access more-powerful games. Controllers are intuitive and easy to hold. Has a wide selection of compatible content.

Other things to know: The battery life is just okay, around two hours in our testing. Strap lacks padding and doesn’t distribute weight on the back of the head as well as a halo-style strap. The controllers lost sight of our hands more often than headsets with exterior sensors.

What we like: Another good upgrade option from our guide to the best 3D pens. While the most expensive, it also gave us the most flexibility and control over drawing and materials.

Other things to know: Allows for precise temperature control, making it more adept at handling third-party materials. Even at nearly half off, it's still twice as expensive as our top pick. Best for dedicated and advanced 3D pen artists.

What we like: A video game the Wirecutter staff loved playing in 2023. 2D side-scrolling levels evoke Sonic’s 16-bit era, but with additional local co-op play for up to four players. Each level hides enough secrets for repeated play-throughs. Features a cast of fan-favorite characters.

Other things to know: Deal for a physical copy of the game available for PS5. Recurring deal price.

What we like: Our top pick for the best LCD/LED TV. Employs a mini-LED backlight for improved contrast, quantum dots for more vibrant color, and a 120 Hz refresh rate for cleaner, smoother motion. A solid choice for gamers. Offers built-in Google TV.

Other things to know: Only available in larger screen sizes. Loses some image fidelity when you sit off-center. Isn’t equipped with an ATSC 3.0 tuner, so over-the-air broadcasts are limited to a maximum resolution of 1080p. This is the 2023 model. Street prices are slowly declining.

What we like: Another good option we like if you want a corded outdoor security camera we like if you want to stick within the Ring ecosystem. Delivers crisp, 1080p video with an expansive 130-degree view and clear two-way audio. Includes a lengthy, weather-resistant power cord, but can also be powered by battery or a solar panel.

Other things to know: Former pick we still like. Despite some previous issues, Ring now provides more privacy and security measures than any other camera manufacturer we tested. Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Works With Ring. Requires Ring Protect Basic subscription for the most functionality.

What we like: Our top pick for the best Wi-Fi mesh-networking kit. Simple set up. Monitor and control remotely via mobile app. Steady Wi-Fi even on busy networks. Surpasses pricier options.

Other things to know: One router and two extenders. Doesn't support internet speeds faster than 500 Mbps. Lacks multiple ethernet ports.
