utility knife


Milwaukee 48-22-1502 Fastback Utility Knife + Milwaukee 48-22-1501 Fastback Folding Utility Knife
(with store pickup)
Deal price: $15; street price: $20
Read our review of the best utility knife.

The purpose of a utility knife is just as it sounds—they’re perfect for cutting jobs that are too tough for scissors and able to withstand tasks that would dull the blade of a nicer pocketknife. In only the second deal we’ve seen for this bundle, our top utility knife pick, the Milwaukee 48-22-1502, and our runner-up pick, the Milwaukee 48-22-1501 Fastback Folding Utility Knife, are back down to $15 with store pickup. Both boast a unique contoured handle that provides an easy, comfortable grip and makes changing blades a breeze (though the smaller 48-22-1501 lacks blade storage).

The Company Store Legends Hotel Velvet Flannel Sheet Set (Queen)
Deal price: $66; street price: $170
Read our review of the best flannel sheets.

Running a close second to our upgrade-pick flannel sheets, these velvet cotton flannel sheets are so thick and dense that they’re comfortable and warm even without additional blankets. They’re not as soft and cozy as the L.L.Bean Premium Supima Flannel Sheets, and they have a shorter return policy, but they’re available in more colors. So if you find yourself shivering at night and wishing for a warm and toasty bed, take a look at the wide variety of colors and patterns available for these flannel sheets. The listed deal price is for the queen size, but most other sizes are on sale, as well (in addition to individual flat sheets and fitted sheets, in case a full flannel set would be too warm).

Ryobi 95-Piece Drill and Drive Kit (with store pickup)
Deal price: $18; street price: $30
Read our review of the best drill bit set.

Nothing is more frustrating than being unable to complete a job because you don’t have the right bit. Luckily, this 95-piece variant of our top pick offers just the right mixture of bits, so you won’t be caught unprepared. The Ryobi kit offers a versatile selection, a tough case, and useful accessories, giving you the tools to handle any type of home project you encounter. With the price currently just $18 with store pickup, this is a great opportunity to save on a useful, high-quality drill kit.

DeWalt DCD708C2 Atomic 20V Max Li-ion Brushless Compact Drill/Driver Kit
Deal price: $100; street price: $150
Read our review of the best drill.

If you’re seeking a drill for home use, we think most people will be happy with the power and size of our DeWalt 12-volt top pick. But for those wanting a little more power, we recommend the DeWalt DCD708C2 Atomic 20V Max Li-ion Brushless Compact Drill/Driver Kit. A “subcompact” option, it’s closer to the size of a 12-volt drill, yet it uses the 20-volt batteries with enough power for more substantial DIY projects. We see it as a good drill for someone starting out on the DIY road who may not want to deal with the weight and bulk of larger drills. This drop to $100 from a street price around $150 is a great discount. We don’t have a lot of price history for this particular model, but this is the first discount we’ve posted for the DeWalt Atomic.

Stanley 33-725 25-Feet FatMax Tape Measure (2-Pack) (with store pickup)
Deal price: $20; street price: $30
Read our review of the best tape measure.

Our upgrade tape measure pick, the Stanley 25-Feet FatMax, is down to $20 for a two-pack with store pickup. The Stanley FatMax features a wider tape, a longer standout, and tougher components than our top pick. The wider, 1¼-inch blade not only stands out unsupported farther but also has a tougher coating and can grip an object from more positions than our other picks. If you’re looking for a tape measure that balances rugged performance with a larger yet still manageable size, this is a great chance to save.

iRobot Roomba 694 Robot Vacuum
Deal price: $180; street price: $250
Read our review of the best robot vacuums.

A robot vacuum, if your pet can tolerate it while it’s in action, is one of the best ways for dog and cat owners to deal with the inevitable accretion of hair. This is a nice opportunity to save on a variant of one of our top robot vacuum picks. The 600 series comes in a number of versions, but if it’s a Roomba and the model number starts with a 6, our expert guide writers say they’re all about the same aside from the Wi-Fi capabilities, which vary from model to model, and the aesthetics. The Roomba 694 in particular is Wi-Fi enabled and works with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.

Google Nest Doorbell Camera
Deal price: $150; street price: $200
Read our review of the best smart doorbell camera.

Back down to $150, this is a solid deal on our upgrade smart doorbell camera pick, which offers around-the-clock video recording, AI-powered motion detection, and facial recognition. Although it’s probably overkill for someone just looking to keep an eye on their door, it’s a great option for those with advanced security needs. Note that a Nest Aware subscription, which is essential for video recording, costs an additional monthly fee to store motion data.

Werner FS106 6 ft Type I Fiberglass Single Sided Stepladder
Deal price: $40; street price: $70 (add $20 for larger size)
Read our review of the best ladders.

Hanging holiday lights? Our runner-up ladder pick will make the job easier and safer. A traditional and sturdy stepladder, the 6-ft Werner FS106 offers excellent build quality, and in our tests it hardly wobbled at all—even when we stood on it and aggressively shifted our weight around. Though it lacks the large and comfy platform steps of our top pick, the Werner does offer an attachment point for a variety of helpful add-ons such as a utility bucket, a tool hook, and a paint cup. While those accessories are not included and cost extra, this is a rare deal on a high-quality and well-built ladder. Just make sure to select store pickup or add it to a larger order over $45 to get free shipping.

Instant Pot Duo Plus 6-Quart Pressure Cooker Bundle
Deal price: $60; street price: $130
Read our review of the best electric pressure cooker.

Save tons of time and valuable kitchen counter real estate with the 9-in-1 Instant Pot Duo Plus 6-Quart electric pressure cooker, back down to $60 with an additional 5% off for Target RedCard holders and bundled with some extra accessories. A slight upgrade to our top pick, the Instant Pot Duo Plus offers a user-friendly control panel and all the cooking functions we think you'll need. We all have busy schedules but still want to cook effortlessly delicious meals, so if you haven't jumped on the Instant Pot bandwagon yet, this is a chance to do so affordably.

GE Adora JGB735
Deal price: $798; street price: $1080
Read our review of the best gas stoves and ranges.

The GE Adora JGB735 is our favorite freestanding gas range. The cooktop is versatile, with a sensible burner layout, and it has a decent-size oven with convection and a self-cleaning mode. It’s also available in better-looking finishes than most ranges at this price (normally around $1,000).

LG WM4000H Washing Machine
Deal price: $850; street price: $950
Read our review of the best washing machines (and their matching dryers).

The LG WM4000H front-load washer is quicker, gentler, and better at removing all types of stains than almost any other washer we’ve tested, and it has a solid reputation for reliability from multiple expert sources.

Hoover Turbo Scrub Upright Carpet Cleaner
Deal price: $100; street price: $130
Read our review of the best upright carpet cleaner.

The Hoover Turbo Scrub Carpet Cleaner FH50134 is the Home Depot exclusive variant of the budget pick in our guide to the best upright carpet cleaners, it's a good option if you really want something affordable or you know you don't need the most cleaning power. Although it left behind some dull stains that the Bissell cleaned up in our tests, this Hoover is much cheaper, smaller, and lighter. It could keep rugs looking pretty good between professional cleanings. Available for $100, this is a nice discount, although we have seen it lower in the past.

Mysa Smart Thermostat
Deal price: $100; street price: $140
Read our review of the best smart thermostat.

The Mysa Smart Thermostat will make your “dumb” and inefficient electric baseboard heating far more cost-effective. Though it's our only pick in what is an admittedly limited field—it works with 110-volt electrical heating sources—we like its clean, modern design, as well as the fact that it works with all the major smart-home systems. Using geolocation and artificial intelligence alongside scheduling and zoning, the Mysa is able to heat your home efficiently and save energy while keeping you comfortable.

iRobot Roomba i3+ Robot Vacuum
Deal price: $400; street price: $535
Read our review of the best robot vacuums.

Nimble and great for getting pet hair out of carpets and rugs, the iRobot Roomba i3+ is one of our upgrade robot vacuum picks. The i3+ is an impressive cleaner that can thoroughly clean a large space, and most notably, empties itself when done. Though it's not as clever or fast as some other models, this durable bot is great for bigger homes and comes with a handy bin that you'll only need to empty every month or two. This matches the lowest price we've seen for this model and is only the second time we've seen it on sale, so it's a great time to pick it up.

KitchenAid K150 Blender
Deal price: $75; street price: $100
Read our review of the best blender.

A good blender is a versatile kitchen tool that can create everything from fruit smoothies to veggie soups and spicy salsas. When testing our budget pick, the KitchenAid K150 Blender, we found that this three-speed blender could handle three batches of smoothies in a row and two back-to-back pitchers of piña coladas with ease. Even though this model only has a 48-ounce pitcher, it's good for occasional usage or smaller households.

Philips Hue Color and Tunable White Smart A19 60W Light Bulb
Deal price: $11; street price: $13
Read our review of the best smart LED light bulbs.

If you have a Hue setup you’re looking to add to, now's the time. This single color and turntable white 60W A19 smart bulb, usually $13, is $11 right now. This is a great price on a bulb variant of our upgrade smart LED light bulb pick. So if you or someone you know is interested in smart lighting, this system is the best to get started with, is easily expandable, and works with all major voice-control platforms including Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant. As with all Hue bulbs (our recommended smart LED bulb setup in our guide), these require the Hue Hub to function as smart bulbs.

Ridgid R8701K 18-volt Brushless SubCompact Cordless Drill Driver Kit
Deal price: $100; street price: $120
Read our review of the best drill.

Featured as an Also Great option in our guide to The Best Drills, the Rigid 18-volt subcompact cordless drill is similar to the DeWalt Atomic (albeit with a bulkier battery), and can be a good entry point into Ridgid’s big line of 18-volt tools. It's not a drill for heavy-duty jobs, but if you've got a ton of mini home improvement tasks this drill has got your back with a solid combination of power and size, and at $100, you can save a bit of money while stocking up your tool kit.

blow-up movie screen

Gemmy Airblown Inflatable Deluxe Movie Screen
Deal price: $130; street price: $210
Read our review of the best outdoor movie screens.

Step up your movie nights by turning your backyard into an outdoor theater. If you want an inflatable screen that’s fast and easy to set up, we recommend the Gemmy Airblown Inflatable Deluxe Movie Screen. Just stake it down, plug it in, and the Gemmy quickly inflates in seconds. Its fan noises can be distracting, and this screen is not as easy to make wrinkle-free as our other pick, but overall the Gemmy is quick and effortless to set up, and it still does the job well.

Bosch PS31-2A 12-Volt Max Drill/Driver & PS41 12 V Max Impact Driver Combo Kit
Deal price: $100; street price: $130 (price reflects in cart)
Read our review of the best drill.

The runner-up pick in our guide to the best drill is back on sale in a combo two-pack that also includes the PS41 12 V Max Impact Driver. Powerful and light, the Bosch Max Drill/Driver is a compact option that still packs plenty of punch. Though it’s not quite as nice to hold as our top pick, this Bosch model is a solid drill that performs well on jobs around the house. We’ve seen slightly better prices for this two-piece kit in the past, but this deal matches the best discounts we’ve seen this year.

DeWalt DCD701F2 Xtreme 12V Max Brushless 3/8 in. Drill/Driver Kit
Deal price: $100; street price: $120
Read our review of the best drill.

If you have plans to go beyond the most rudimentary of home improvement tasks, a drill will make the work faster and easier. Compact, yet powerful, our top pick for the best drill is currently down to $100. The DeWalt DCD701F2 12V Brushless 3/8 in. Drill/Driver Kit combines power, comfort, and convenience in a way that none of our other tested drills do. Strong enough for any project within the home, it comes with a built- in illuminating LED and a handy belt hook for when you want to let go of the most comfortable grip we've ever held.

An innovative blend of a smart speaker and tablet, smart displays offer more convenient functions than either device on its own. The 5½-inch Amazon Echo Show 5 is perfect if you want a small display for a nightstand or bathroom counter. Our smaller-screen Amazon Alexa smart display pick, this pint-sized Echo does everything the larger Show 8 can do but in a more compact package. Although you’ll need to opt for store pickup to avoid shipping fees, this deal matches the best price we’ve seen for the versatile and budget-friendly first-generation Echo Show 5.

Google Nest Mini (2nd Generation) + Smart Plug Bundle
Deal price: $25; street price: $45
Read our review of the best voice assistant.

Smart speakers can be surprisingly helpful, and our budget-friendly Google Assistant pick is currently available for $25 bundled with a smart plug. Although the Nest doesn’t offer quite as many smart-home integration options as Alexa speakers do, the included smart plug allows you to remotely activate devices via voice control. If you’re looking to create an inexpensive multiroom audio system that connects to your Google apps, this is a nice chance to save on an already affordable option. Make sure to choose store pickup or bundle it with a larger purchase to avoid shipping fees.

Google Nest Hub Max Smart Display
Deal price: $180; street price: $230
Read our review of the best smart display for Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

If you love home cooking and prefer the Google ecosystem, the Nest Hub Max is the smart display we recommend. With a large, 10-inch screen, the Nest can easily transform from a beautiful digital photo frame to your own personal cookbook—verbally walking you through recipes without your having to touch anything with ingredient-dirtied hands. Matching the lowest price we’ve seen, this deal on Google’s versatile display is a great opportunity for anyone who prefers Google Assistant over Alexa.

Arlo Essential Video Doorbell (Wired)
Deal price: $80; street price: $130
Read our review of the best smart doorbell camera.

Besides offering great hardware and fast response times, the Arlo was the only smart doorbell we tested that could distinguish among people, animals, vehicles, or packages—so it kept false alerts to a minimum (a common issue we ran into with other models). If you want advanced sensing options and the ability to capture video clips up to five minutes long, you'll need a $3-per-month Arlo Smart subscription. But overall we think this is a fair price for these essential features. This deal also includes a $5 Newegg gift card as an added bonus.

Do away with guessing and become a backyard grill master with the addition of this handy smart grilling hub. Our second listing for this device, the Weber Connect is a Wi-Fi–enabled probe thermometer with a magnetic base that sticks to the side of a grill and supports up to four plug-in probe thermometers (two are included with the hub). Connecting to the app provides step-by-step guides and recipes, while also allowing you to set a desired level of doneness, notifications of when to flip food, and alerts for when everything is ready. While it's easy to accidentally leave on and it can only measure temperature, we still think the Connect is a nice addition to help level up your grilling skills.

Ecobee SmartThermostat with Voice Control
Deal price: $200; street price: $250
Read our review of the best smart thermostat.

A smart thermostat is a great upgrade for any home. It'll learn your schedule, balance temperatures, and potentially cut down your electric bill. If you're looking to make an upgrade, the Ecobee is a sleek option that works with most smart-home platforms, including Apple HomeKit and Amazon Alexa. The added voice control microphone means you can play music, relay the news, control your home’s smart lights, and turn the A/C up or down—all without ever leaving the couch. We've seen slightly better deals on this pick in the past, but this discount matches the lowest it has dropped this year.

A smart speaker option we like for Google users, the Nest Audio provides a louder and more bass-filled audio experience, which we think is on par with that of the Echo (though we do prefer Amazon's ecosystem overall). Plus, you can configure two of these speakers together as a stereo pair via the app or arrange them throughout your home to create a multi-room sound system. If you order from Kohl's, you will receive $15 in Kohl's cash.
