With this Amazon Fire TV you can stream live television without cable. It’s a direct LED with 1080p resolution and 60Hz refresh rate with support for HDR 10, HLG, and Dolby Digital Audio. The Fire TV Alexa Voice Remote is included and supports voice control for functions like power, volume, and more. The 2-series Amazon Fire TV does not support 4K resolution. For that you’ll want to look at Fire TV 4-Series or Fire TV Omni QLED Series.
This 43-inch Amazon Fire TV has great resolution from a 4K UHD display (3840 x 2160). A refresh rate of 60 Hz. 1 Ethernet port, 1 USB port, 3 HDMI 2.0 ports and 1 HDMI 2.1 with eARC. At 38% off for Prime Day it’s a great time to consider upgrading from your 1080p Full HD TV.
This 32-inch LED smart TV from Insignia supports a wide range of streaming services like Netflix, Apple TV+, Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, Sling TV, YouTube, HBO Max, Spotify, Peacock, and ESPN+. It also supports HDMI ARC, which allows you to send audio directly from the HDMI jack to a compatible sound bar or AV receiver, of your choice for an improved audio experience. It’s also Alexa voice control compatible via the Alexa remote control.
It’s 65-inches so it might be more TV than you need, but the 43-inch model is only $200 less, so if you have the budget and the space this is the one to go with for gaming, sports, and streaming your favorite shows and movies. And if you don’t have the space you can grab the 43-inch QLED here for $379.99.
Everyone needs at least one good garden hose. This one is 75 feet long, abrasion and crush resistant and coils easily but, according to the manufacturer, “won’t kink under pressure.” It’s also a bit lighter than traditional garden hoses making it easier to lug around the yard when you need to. It also claims to be “drinking water safe,” but we still recommend sticking to your indoor sinks for that.
Lounging outside in the heat is great, but lounging outside with the sun’s harmful UV rays beating down onto your skin can be terrible. A good old fashioned umbrella is a great solution to this problem and this one is as good as any. It’s got a 9 foot diameter and is made of 100% polyester which means it’s waterproof, easy to clean and of course it’s UV resistant. It utilizes a crank opening system and also features a push button for tilting. Need a base for it too? Check this one out.
This is a great choice for a hammock that isn’t going to move around very much. If you’re looking for something a little more mobile, we have that just below, but while you’re sacrificing some mobility with this option, you’re gaining stability and comfort. The Vivere hammock is made of cotton, designed for 2, is easily adjustable and even comes with its own premium carry bag.
If you’d rather hang from trees than a metal stand, then this is the hammock you should go for. You’ll even save some serious cash over the stationary version. This camping hammock is made of nylon which means it’s super lightweight, coming in at only 24 oz. It’s 9 feet long by 4.5 feet wide and using its two 9 foot long tree straps and carabiners can hold up to 400 lbs.
A classic 4-piece furniture set that would look at home on any patio, this deal comes with 2 single chairs, 1 double sofa, 3 cushions and a tempered glass top coffee table. The pieces are made of sturdy but light wicker with a metal frame and the cushions “use a high-density rebound sponge” for extra comfort.

Lightweight 1080p HD projector. Supports iOS/Android/Windows.
This generator is one of the best all-arounders out there. You can use it by itself or link it with another to double the power output, built-in gauge lets you know exactly how much time you have left and lets users accurately track voltage, and it also features an “EZ Start Dial” preventing the need for a pull cord. There’s even a quiet operation mode that makes it great for camping or tailgating. Last but not least, you’ll get a 3-year limited warranty with your purchase and free lifetime technical support.
A portable generator is a great compromise if you don’t want or need to keep a full-sized generator around. Unlike many portable home generators, this one is powered by either gas or propane with up to 34 hours of runtime and it only weighs 39 lbs. Much like the Champion generator above, this one can also be linked to another generator to double the power output, and it also comes with a 3-year limited warranty.
This portable electric generator is a lot like the option above, but it provides a few less starting and running watts. It runs on gas or propane with up to 34 hours of runtime and like the one above, it only weighs 39 lbs. Also like the other Champions in this list, this one can also be linked to another generator to double the power output and it comes with a 3-year limited warranty.
This power station is a great value for homeowners if you’re not looking for full-fledged gas generators. It charges quickly, offers tons of ports and weighs less than 10 lbs. It can power home electronics, mobile devices, lighting, speakers and more.
We can’t get enough of portable power. This 12,000-watt DuroMax generator for a house is larger than some others on our list, so you may not want to take it camping, but it’s a great backup power option to keep at home or at a worksite. It can run on either gas or propane, it has an electric start, and it’s rated for 9,500 running watts so it can handle heavier loads and power things like a refrigerator, home air conditioning unit, and high-amperage power tools.
Portable generators are great for camping or helping out in a pinch if your power goes out, and Generac is a big name in residential and industrial generators alike. The GP3300i model is a 2500-watt gas-powered unit that features multiple outlets and USB ports for charging things like a small fridge or freezer, tablets and mobile devices. It’s only 59 lbs, so transport and storage is easier than larger units and it features quiet inverter tech that aims to help reduce noise pollution when the unit is running.
For those who don’t like the noise and exhaust of a normal generator, portable power stations may be for you. This one from Jackery can be charged from 0% to 80% in just 3.5 hours when plugged into a wall outlet (3.6 hours when plugged into a car) and has enough of a charge to power your phone 31x, a camera 15x and a drone 6x, making it perfect for camping and longer road trips. If you’re going to be outside for a while you can also pair it with a solar panel for charging off the road and off the grid. It may not power your entire house, but it’s extremely handy in a pinch. If the Explorer 300 isn’t exactly what suits your needs the Jackery Portable Power Station Explorer 240 and Jackery Portable Power Station Explorer 1000 are also great picks and also available at huge discounts right now.
This 5,500-watt DuroMax generator is an RV and home power backup generator that runs on either gas or propane. It has an electric start so you won’t have to break your back pulling a ripcord to start it, a fully loaded power panel with USB outlets, two 120-Volt GFCI household outlets, one 120-Volt/240-Volt 30 Amp twist-lock outlet and “an RV-ready MX2 Switch for double the 120V power,” and it has CO alert tech that can automatically shut the whole thing down if an unsafe level of Carbon Monoxide is detected in the air. Maybe the best part about this deal is that it comes with a 5 year limited warranty from the manufacturer.
If you’re a big reader and you’ve never tried a Kindle before, you’re missing out. The e-Ink technology really does make it feel like you’re reading an actual paper book. This latest version of this Kindle has adjustable warm light settings making it easier to read late at night. It’s also got 8 GB of storage, is waterproof, and even has bluetooth headphone connectivity so you can read your Audible audiobooks on it, too. And naturally, this is the version without the lockscreen ads. We wouldn’t subject you to that.
If you’re really trying to save every buck you can, this version of the Kindle Paperwhite with lockscreen ads is available as well. This version of Amazon’s popular e-reader has a larger display screen (6.8-inces) and adjustable warm light that is 10 times brighter at max setting. Kindle Paperwhite is still waterproof, has weeks of battery life on a single charge, and of course holds thousands of books. Again, this sub-$100 Kindle does have lockscreen ads, but hey, you’re not using it while it’s locked anyways, right?
The Amazon Echo is the quintessential smart home hub. Not only is it easily connectable with all of your Amazon devices, you can also easily use it with a huge number of non-Amazon smart home devices too. It can control your Hue lights, play your music right from Spotify, give you weather alerts, order things for you from Amazon (naturally) and much, much more. Now’s the time of year to grab one if you’ve ever been interested.

This is one of our favorite electric lawn tool deals. Any homeowner with trees on the property would probably do well to keep a chainsaw around the house. This one is a great gas-less Ego chainsaw that features an 18-inch bar and chain. It’s weather-resistant, features a twist-dial for chain tensioning, reaches 11,000 RPM and even has some built-in LED lights for keeping things well-lit during a late-night cutting session. The saw comes with both a battery and a plastic chain guard and even provides buyers with a 5-year warranty on the tool and a 3-year warranty on the battery and charger.
Everyone needs a good leaf blower, and this Ego leaf blower is as good as any. Totally cordless and electric, the included 4.0 Ah battery will power the blower for up to 70 minutes on a full charge. The blower is weather-resistant, features variable speed settings, and comes with multiple nozzles, a battery and a charger. Like the EGO chainsaw above, you’ll get a 5-year warranty on the blower and a 3-year warranty on the battery and charger with your purchase.
A lawn just can’t look its best until it’s edged. This electric edger can help with that problem by putting its 12 amp motor and 7.5-inch double-edged blade to use. Keep in mind, while this tool is all-electric, it’s not cordless so you’ll need to be plugged in to run it, but you’ll still be able to enjoy all the benefits of a non-gas-powered tool like less maintenance, quieter operation, and general ease of use.

The F Series of e-scooters certainly aren’t cheap, but nearly $200 off makes this Segway a much more interesting proposition for those in the market. You can choose between the F25, F30, or F40. We’re currently looking at the F25 because it’s got the bigger discount ($170 off), a solid power output (300W), a great top speed (15.5 mph), and an impressive range (212.4 miles).
Electric scooters and hoverboards are a great last mile transport option for commuters. They’re also great for good ol’ fashioned fun. Segway is a top-rated maker of e-riders, and its Ninebot S model is currently on sale. The self-balancing personal transport has a top speed of 10 mph and 13.7 miles of range.

Featuring dual 400W motors the S-Plus e-scooter has a top speed of 25 mph and up to 22 miles of range when fully charged. The Segway app is where you can control features like anti-theft, speed limit and adjustments, vehicle diagnostics, adjustable ambient lighting, install firmware updates, monitor battery status, and even remotely control your Segway.

This e-bike by TotGuard is a great pick for many reasons, not the least of which is the price!

The front cam captures video with a 170° wide-angle lens while the rear cam features a 130° lens. Like the other cams in the list, this one features loop-recording and G-sensor technology. The biggest ding against this cam that we can see is that it unfortunately can only handle a 32GB SD card, but thanks to the loop recording, that makes the storage capacity of the SD card matter less than ever. After 24,000 Amazon reviews it’s sitting at a cumulative score of 4.2 out of 5 stars.

Car Cleaning Accessories
Car cleaning gel is one of the weirdest looking car cleaning tools out there, but it’s also one of the easiest ways to grab the dirt and crumbs from the hardest-to-reach spots of your vehicle. Just take a handful of the Flubber-like substance, stick it on anything that looks like it could use a little less dust and dirt, then peel it off and watch the grime come with it. This putty is made for getting into small areas and corners that you might not be able to reach with more traditional tools. In addition to being a dust-grabbing powerhouse, it also has a clean “cologne” scent.
This is a great starter kit if you’re just looking for the basics.

If you want to take your wash a step further than you could with the Chemical Guys kit above, this set is well worth your attention.

It comes with 14 pieces: Butter Wet Wax, Honeydew Snow Foam, Diablo Wheel Gel, Silk Shine Dressing, Signature Glass Cleaner, Detailing Bucket, Cyclone Dirt Trap, Torq Foam Blaster Gun, Microfiber Wash Mitt, Short Handle Brush, 3 Microfiber Towels and a dressing applicator.

It’s water and abrasion resistant, has 6 compartments, multiple sub-dividers, and can still be folded down to make it easier for storage.

Portable Air Compressors
Keep in mind that this pump is NOT intended for use with high-pressure or large-volume applications like large pools, but this portable compressor comes with three nozzles and will work on any Schrader valve on cars, SUVs, motorcycles, and bicycles. The included accessory adapters will allow you to also use this inflator on balls, air mattresses, balloons, and other small inflatables.
The VacLife tire inflator plugs into your car’s 12V power outlet with an 11.9-foot power cord to get its juice. It has automatic shutoff capability once it hits your preset PSI level, a built-in LED flashlight, and comes with three additional nozzles for inflatables like sports equipment, bike tires and more. This one is a great budget option but won’t work for large vehicles with tire pressure greater than 50 psi or tire width greater than 245 mm like some trucks and off-road vehicles.
The EPAuto air compressor is one of the most popular options out there. It plugs into your car’s 12-volt lighter socket, comes with additional valve adapters for things like basketballs, inflatables, etc., features an automatic shutoff and has a built-in LED flashlight, like so many others. Also, like many of the more portable tire inflator options, this one isn’t recommended for trucks or larger vehicles. Be aware that this air compressor actually has the shortest power cord on our list, clocked at only about 9 feet by a helpful answerer in Amazon’s Q&A section, so if you like a little more slack, this might not be the best choice for you.
The TEROMAS tire inflator is a great choice because it can plug into your car’s 12-volt cigarette lighter plug or a 110/120-volt wall outlet. It can inflate a P195/65R15 tire from 0 to 35 psi in under 4 minutes. The auto-off function automatically turns off the pump once it reaches your desired preset pressure value. This compressor, like many, has a digital display that conveniently shows your tire’s current pressure and a built-in LED flashlight. It comes with three additional adapters and can be used with cars, motorcycles, bikes, air mattresses, balls and more. Learn more here.
This Avid Power tire inflator is a multi-purpose cordless pump that can be used with most tires, inflatable sports balls and more. It’s a little more expensive than the others on our list, but it’s also a little more convenient, since it doesn’t need to be plugged in. If its battery pack happens to be out of juice when you need it, it also comes with a 12-volt power adapter that can be used to plug it in. The compressor has an automatic stop function with an indicated pressure accuracy of +/- 1 psi, a built-in LED light and comes with its very own tool bag. Be aware that this compressor, like many others, isn’t suitable for large truck tires.
Radar Detectors
This Uniden R3 is packed with features at a fair price. The scanner features “advanced false alert filtering” as well as smart GPS technology so the scanner can “remember and mute common false alerts (such as retail store automatic doors) along your regularly driven routes so you never have to listen to the same false alert twice.” It also has red light and speed camera alerts, programmable voice warnings, and a multi-color OLED display. It has over 7,000 ratings on Amazon right now with a fantastic score of 4.6 out of 5 stars.
If you’re looking to spring for an Uniden radar detector but don’t want to spend the hundreds of dollars it costs for an R3 or R7, this Uniden DFR1 may be the best radar detector for budget-minded drivers. It’s a significantly more affordable way to try to avoid laser detection and features long-range sensitivity, front and rear protection, multiple driving modes, false alert filtering and a mute button. It even comes with its own suction cup mount. At this price point, it’s tough to ignore.
Miscellaneous
After buying a car, many of us get home and immediately take off the license plate frames that had the dealership name on them. After all, you likely just paid them tens of thousands of dollars and they still want free advertising? No thanks. These silicone frames are a great replacement and won’t scratch your car like the metal ones, are rust-proof and fit all American and Canadian plates.
This Rain-X Blade is the clear windshield wiper of choice for Amazon shoppers, and it’s a good pick. It comes in a variety of sizes from 14 inches to 28 inches and applies Rain-X water repellent directly to your windshield during use. The Rain-X universal adapter is made to be easy-to-use, and it “fits 96% of vehicles.” The product also uses advanced beam wiper blade technology which “provides uniform pressure points along the length of the blade, allowing it to hug the curvature of the windshield for a smooth, clean wipe.”
