From a travel mug with a jaw-dropping 39,600+ reviews (yes, really!) to the Dyson hair dryer everyone's been trying to get their paws on for ages (you know the one!), these are the best things to buy on the site at a discount.
1. Save $41: This cult-favorite hair dryer
Beauty aficionados will have no doubt heard tell of the much-hyped Dyson Supersonic hair dryer by now. Touted for everything from drying your hair at record speeds (a claim we found to be true in testing) to its whisper-quiet operation (a claim we found to be not-so accurate), it’s rare to see this $400 machine on sale. Today, however, you can nab one for $359—that’s $40.99 off its regular list price! In addition to its speedy performance, we liked that the buttons are on the head of the dryer, preventing you from accidentally hitting any switches while you’re using it. We also thought that it felt lighter than its competition at just .9 pounds (though its handle and cord were a bit bulky). All it all, we deemed it a “great hair dryer” that nabbed a well-earned spot on our list of the best ones we’ve ever used.

2. 20% off: This ice cream maker with nearly 5,000 reviews
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! While our favorite ice cream maker, the Cuisinart ICE-21 ($109.99), isn’t on sale, and our runner-up, the Cuisinart Cool Creations ICE 70, is out of stock everywhere we looked, you can score a similar appliance in the brand’s ICE 30BC Pure Indulgence machine for roughly $20 off today. Reduced from $99.95 to $79.96, this device, which boasts nearly 5,000 glowing Amazon reviews, can whip up a 2-quart bowl of frozen yogurt, sorbet or ice cream in roughly 20 minutes, according to reviewers (an estimate that's consistent with other models we tested). It comes with a paddle and an ice cream drum, or freezer bowl, which is chilled overnight ahead of use. When you’re ready to create a delicious concoction, you simply place the bowl in the machine followed by the paddle and turn it on. Customers say it’s an easy process, and while it can be a little noisy, it’s well-worth it for frozen treats on command.

3. Save $41: This powerful-yet-affordable robot vac
Robot vacuums don’t have to cost you an arm and a leg. Don’t believe us? Say hello to the Eureka Groove. Newly launched in May, this smart machine, which features a high efficiency filter and can be controlled with the accompanying Eureka app, normally goes for just under $200. Right now, however, you can get it for even less when you click the coupon box beneath the price to drop it to $159. Our lab manager, Jon Chan, recently gave this vacuum a try and found it to be “super powerful and really good at climbing obstacles” thanks to its GrooveGear climbing wheels. It’s also equipped with an anti-scratch brush roll that’s designed to keep your hardwood free from damage while also being compatible with carpet.

4. More than $100 off: This super stylish smartwatch
If you like the idea of a smartwatch, but not the sporty aesthetic that goes along with some of the best models on the market, this deal is for you. Fossil’s unisex Gen 5 Julianna touchscreen smartwatch—a.k.a. the best-selling smartwatch for women on Amazon—is currently marked down by more than $100, dropping from $295 to $179. We haven’t yet tried this piece, which features a Wear OS by Google operating system, it’s earned itself a 4.2-star rating from close to 1,000 shoppers for its speed, ease of use and sleek, fashion-forward design. Boasting many of the same features as an Apple Watch or Fitbit, this pick will give you updates on the weather, track your heart rate, reply to texts and emails, take calls, send social media notifications and much, much more. It’s also swim-proof up to 5 atmospheres (ATMs). While new users may experience some issues with the battery life, shoppers say settings can be adjusted to remedy the issue.

5. Less than $10: This travel mug with a huge Amazon fan base
For a product that will not only live up to its claims, but exceed them, check out this Contigo West Loop 16-ounce travel mug, which is currently up for grabs for more than half off its usual $20.99 list price in black, falling to just $9.26. While we haven’t tried this exact model, we lauded a handled version, the Contigo autoseal travel mug ($21.20), as being one of the best we’ve ever tried after it aced our temperature tests. With its vacuum insulation, it was able to keep cold drinks cold for more than 16 hours (two hours longer than its 14-hour promise) and hot drinks hot for six (an hour over the promised five). This handle-less option that’s on sale has the same auto-sealing technology as the one we found to be virtually leak-proof, and its lid opens at the push of a button. What’s more, it’s got close to a whopping 40,000 Amazon reviews to back it up. Wowza!
