Just as the groundhog predicted, spring has sprung—and so have seasonal sales. But not every spring sale event is worth the hype. These expert-vetted deals can help you stay prepped and ready for whatever the change of season throws at you, whether you’re giving your space a long-overdue deep clean or emerging from winter hibernation to pursue outdoor adventures.

Coway Airmega 400 Air Purifier
We still like our former upgrade pick if you can find it on sale (like right now). It offers exceptional air purification for spaces around 500 square feet, reducing particulates by 99.9% on high and 99.7% on medium, even with year-old filters running 24/7.
Other things to know: Demoted because our current upgrade pick typically costs less. Rarely goes on sale, and this sale makes it comparable in price to our upgrade pick.

SpaceSaver Vacuum Storage Bags (medium, pack of 10)
We love these vacuum-sealed bags for neatly packing away seasonal clothes and bedding. They shrank down significantly faster and looked flatter than other options we tested, and they held their seal even after repeated use.
Other things to know: We generally prefer plastic bins or blanket bags for storing clothes and bedding, but vacuum bags are a decent option if storage space is tight. Deal is for 10 medium storage bags with a travel pump.

Bissell Little Green Portable Carpet Cleaner 3369
Bissell Little Green Portable Carpet Cleaner 3369
A nearly identical variant of our top-pick portable carpet cleaner
A favorite among neat freaks and casual cleaners alike, this Walmart-exclusive version of our longtime favorite portable carpet and upholstery cleaner gets the job done. It’s a game changer for small messes, particularly if you have pets or young kids.
Buying Options
Other things to know: Negligible differences between this model and our pick, primarily a different color. Completely removed wine and chocolate stains with its handheld suction brush, hot tap water, and cleaning formula. Designed to tackle small areas only. Water tank is difficult to clean. One-year warranty is shorter than that of the competition.

Roborock Q5+ Robot Vacuum
Better mapping, easier app navigation, a longer battery life, and more-reliable voice commands are just some of the attributes that give this super-smart robot vacuum an edge over its competition. It excels on hard floors and low- and medium-pile carpets, making spring cleaning a breeze.
Other things to know: Comes with a charging station that empties debris into a disposable bag. Struggles with debris near thresholds and baseboards, like nearly all models we tested. Compatible with Siri, Alexa, and Google Home. Use code ROBOROCKS to buy new directly from Roborock. Use code SPRINGSAVE20 to buy a certified manufacturer-refurbished model from eBay, which includes a two-year Allstate warranty.

Ego ST1511T Power+ 15″ Powerload String Trimmer
Having perfectly manicured flower beds is a breeze with our favorite string trimmer, which outperformed the other trimmers we tested in terms of run time and sheer power. A telescoping shaft and handle make this tool easy to adjust and comfortable to use.
Other things to know: The charger can deliver a full battery in about 40 minutes. The deal from Lowe’s includes a free extra battery that’s helpful for larger lawns or use as a backup.

Ego LM2135SP Power+ 21″ Select Cut Lawn Mower
Forgo the noise, emissions, and maintenance of a typical gas mower. This battery-powered, self-propelled mower is considerably quieter than its gas counterparts, and it can run for about an hour on a single charge.
Other things to know: Minimal maintenance compared with gas models. A little less powerful and has a shorter runtime than our top pick, but a fine trade-off for the lower price if you don’t have a huge lawn. First deal we’ve seen since Black Friday.

Bonobos Soft Everyday Tee (pack of two)
Swap out your bulky winter sweaters in favor of something lighter—namely, these extremely soft 100% cotton tees. Their quality, fit, and comfort make them a hit among our staff, especially our plus-size testers.
Buying Options
Other things to know: Generous fit may not work for people with smaller frames. Available in a variety of colors and sizes. Choose between crew neck or V-neck and slim or standard cut. Add two shirts to your cart to get the deal price; discount applies automatically.

L.L.Bean Bean Boots (8-inch)
Half rain boot, half traditional boot, these are the de-facto stylish boots for those April showers. Their comfort, durability, and versatility make them among the most thoughtfully designed pieces of outdoor gear we’ve tried.
Buying Options
Price includes shipping (limited sizes and colors)
Deftly balancing fashion and function, these duck boots are great for wet and muddy weather. They’re laced tighter to the foot than rubber boots, so they don’t slip on and off as easily as others, but they’re some of the most thoughtfully designed pieces of outdoor gear we’ve tried.
Buying Options
You save $29 (21%)
Other things to know: We like that these boots are unlined since it keeps the shoe true to its nature as a multi-seasonal, versatile piece of your outdoor kit. The leather upper and the coated laces require some breaking in.
