Take Alexa with you with the Amzon Echo Auto. This is the hands-free, smaller version of the standard Echo, designed to go on your dashboard and integrate into you car. Plug it into an aux port or connect to your car’s Bluetooth, and you’ll have Alexa talking to you through your speakers. The Auto connects to your phone, and can pull any information you want, hands free. Not only will it eliminate the urge to send important text while you’re driving, but it also can control your music, directions, or simple Google searches. It can be mounted on your dashboard or clipped onto a vent.

The Amazon Echo (3rd Gen) is more than just a smart speaker, but can also act as a smart home hub. It allows you to voice control different elements in your home, including compatible lights, locks, and sensors. It also allows you to voice control your music, including songs from Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, SiriusXM, and more. And although the Amazon Echo is a relatively small device, it’s able to produce rich, detailed sound that automatically adapts to any room. It’s a great device for any room, and even for multiple rooms, as the Amazon Echo is able to sync music across devices, and even pair it with compatible Fire TV devices to create home theater quality audio experiences.

Amazon Echo Show 8 (1st Gen) — $55, was $110

While there is a newer Echo Show 8 available on the market, this 1st Gen model is hardly a device to overlook. The HD smart display features an eight-inch screen and stereo sound, and Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant can help you manage your day with the device. It allows you to connect with friends and family via video calling and messaging, and for entertainment, all you have to do is ask Alexa to show you movie trailers, TV shows, movies, or the news. Radio stations, podcasts, and audiobooks are also accessible on the 1st Gen Echo Show 8. It also acts as a great digital picture frame, allowing you to put your memories on display using Amazon Photos. If a newer model is something that interests you, you can easily compare the Echo Show 8 (1st Gen) and Echo Show 8 (2nd Gen).

Best Buy cut this air fryer’s price in half, down to just $25
The Bella Pro Series 3 Quart Air Fryer near food.

If you want your food crispy all over without having to deal with draining a ton of oil, your best bet is to use an air fryer. They're never too expensive and there are always great air fryer deals going on, but you'll rarely find one with a price like this. Right now, the Bella Pro Series 3 Quart Analog Air Fryer is half off, moving its price from $50 to $25. To pick yours up today all you need to do is tap the button below. If you're interested in our take, however, be sure to keep reading.

Why you should buy the Bella Pro Series 3 Quart Air Fryer
The Bella Pro Series 3 Quart Air Fryer holds up to about 2.5 pounds of food, heats up to 400 degrees, and has easily-removable dishwasher-safe parts. If you notice it is "analog" that is because it has a 60 minute shut off timer to give you peace of mind and an easy way to time your cooking. Of course, this means there aren't a ton of digital options, buttons, and settings. However, this can be a plus for some and possibly you. Not every item in the home needs to be "smart" and less can certainly feel like more.

Best external hard drive deals: Portable SSDs, game drives & more
A man uses a WD My Passport external hard drive alongside his laptop.

Even though you can absolutely store a ton of your data online on cloud storage services, it's always important to have a local backup, especially since you never know if you'll lose access to it. Annoyingly, much like some of the best phones on the market, some laptop deals don't really give you access to the internals to do upgrades, which can often leave you with very little internal storage to work with. Luckily, there are a lot of great deals on external storage floating around, and we've collected some of our favorites below, including some that are on our list of best external hard drives. Of course, if you can access the internals of your device, then you may want to go for one of these SSD deals instead, and for those gamers out there, these PS5 SSD deals should fix any storage issues you might have.
Seagate FireCuda Gaming 2TB -- $60, was $100

If you have a gaming setup that's full of RGB and you want to add a little bit to it while still extending your hard drive space, then you should absolutely grab this 2TB Seagate FireCuda Gaming. It has a customizable LED under the bottom lip of the hard drive, and it even comes with the latest 3.2 gen USB standard, so you can game off of it directly on your PC or older console. While you hopefully won't need it, it also comes with 3-years of data recovery service, which is a nice plus at this price bracket.
