Treat your phone to the charger and cables it deserves for Cyber Week

Life’s too short to use bad phone chargers and cables. Well before Apple made headlines when it stopped including a charger with iPhones, the cables and chargers you get with most phones and tablets were, with rare exception, cheap and not worthwhile. With Cyber Week deals aplenty, now’s the time to treat yourself (and your phone) to the chargers and cables you deserve.

Step one: Get a charger that can charge your phone as fast as possible — and maybe charge a second device at the same time. Many chargers that come with your phone don’t provide full-speed charging, and if they do, they aren’t the best (or most compact) designs. You can get a new charger that’s compact and charges your phone quickly. Aukey’s 30W dual-port charger has enough output to fast-charge any iPhone or Android, and has an extra USB-A port for another device — and it’s only $17.

You can also get next-level charging with Aukey’s 65W Omnia 20-port charger, which has enough power to charge a laptop, in addition to fast-charging any phone available right now — and it’s $26, 46% off.

Next up is cables. Don’t settle for that little three-foot cable with a weak coating that just gets worn out. Buy a long cable so you can easily use your phone while it’s charging, or be able to comfortably reach your nightstand from behind the bed. You can get an Anker Powerline 10-foot USB-C cable for only $13, normally $20. Or if you have an iPhone, Anker’s Powerline 10-foot Lightning cable is the same price, only $13. Or if you’re all about value for money, pick up a three-pack so you’re never stuck with a dead phone — get three Anker MFi certified iPhone cables for $19, 17% off.

Or you can ditch the wires altogether and get yourself a new wireless charger. If you haven’t looked in a while, you’ll be surprised by the variety of designs and charging speeds available. Samsung’s Wireless Charger trio can charge up two phones and a smartwatch, and it’s 22% off — just $70. On the value side of things, you can get a two-pack of Choetech’s 10W wireless chargers — one stand, one flat — for under $19.

Tineco Black Friday deals: Smart vacuums galore to clean your floors

Tineco PURE ONE Station being put away on charger

Vacuuming and cleaning should not be strenuous. You should be able to take out your tool of choice, glide through your home cleaning up with minimal effort, and then get right back to your life. Unfortunately, not all vacuums are created equal, which can mean the work itself takes longer. Either they don't offer powerful suction, they don't offer convenient attachments for more thorough cleans, or they exacerbate the problem -- with bag-based dustbins, for example, that cause more hassle than they're worth. With the holidays coming up and lots of family coming to visit, quick cleaning is going to be more important than ever. Enter Tineco with its excellent smart vacuums.

Between the Pure One Station, Pure One S15 Essential, and Pure One S11, there's a cordless vacuum in the lineup for you. Best of all, Tineco is having excellent holiday, and Black Friday deals that drop their prices to all-time lows.

Why you should buy the Anker Solix C1000 portable power station
The Anker SOLIX C1000 portable power station offers a 1,056-watt-hour capacity and 1,800 watts of output. It has 11 ports in total, including AC, DC, and USB. Plus, you can double its capacity to 2,112 watt-hours with an expansion battery or recharge it quickly in just 58 minutes while using the UltraFast Mode in Anker's mobile app. Yes, that also means it offers mobile app connectivity and controls.

But what is it? It can be used as a versatile portable power station, whether to get power on the spot -- like when you're off-grid -- or to use as a backup like a UPS, with a less than 20ms switchover in an outage. It even supports up to 600 watts of solar input, so you can connect solar panels and charge them using the sun's fully available energy. Renewable energy truly gets you off the power grid if that's something you're looking to achieve.
