An 8-quart multi-cooker

 Instant Pot 8-Quart multi-cooker
Instant Pot

We’re obsessed with Instant Pots. They are particularly helpful when you’re busy with a ton of guests over the holidays, or on weeknights when you don’t have a lot of time to stand over a pan. Today, you can save 44 percent on the 8-quart Instant Pot Duo. The multi-cooker is currently $90—it usually sells for $160. This is actually the cheapest price I’ve seen for this model. It works as a pressure cooker, steamer, and an egg cooker. You can customize the settings or use the pre-programmed buttons to bake, sauté, boil, steam, or slow cook. It’s great for cooking chilis, curries, stews, dried beans, and more.

Robot vacuum and mop

Save time—and, today, money—with a robot vacuum. This Bobsweep Robo-vac is on sale for 45 percent off, so you can get it for $220. This model features TurboLift suction, has longer bristles to pick up pet hair, and features a large, 1100-milliliter dustbin. The vacuum has some unique features that I haven’t seen on other robot vacuums, like a display screen with control buttons and a built-in UV light that helps get rid of bacteria or allergens. It also comes with a remote to program a seven-day cleaning schedule and a boundary accessory called the blOck Plus, which keeps the cleaning device from entering a room (and, say, disturbing your dog).

A Vitamix blender

 Vitamix Explorian Blender
Vitamix Explorian

This 64-ounce Vitamix Explorian blender has a cool-running motor that maintains a consistent temperature and has stainless steel blades that are fast enough that the friction can quickly turn cold ingredients into warm soup. There are no digital displays on this device, but you can control the speed and use the pulse feature to control the consistency and make chunkier foods like salsa. The container is self-cleaning—just add soap and water—or can be placed in the dishwasher. Right now, it’s on sale for 34 percent off—now just $190.

Boom 2 speaker

Ultimate Ears

The Ultimate Ears Boom 2 provides powerful, 360-degree sound and deep bass tones. With these speakers, you can use the PartyUp app and connect up to 150 UE speakers. That’s many more speakers than a regular person would have in their home, but you must admit: it’d be great to blast some Michael Buble songs through 150 boxes. The speaker is waterproof, shockproof, and has a 15-hour battery life. Today they are on sale for 68 percent off—now $64.
