Headphones

1MORE Quad Driver Wired Earphones
The deal:$120 atAmazon
CRs test results:1MORE Quad Driver
The 1MORE Quad Driver is an exceptional deal even at the typical price of $170. These are some of the best-sounding headphones in Consumer Reports ratings, in-ear, over-ear, or otherwise. You can pay hundreds more for headphones and earbuds that sound worse. But this discount makes the earphones a really compelling option. They come with accessories such as a carrying case and a variety of ear tips to help you find the right fit.

Jabra Elite 65t True Wireless Earphones
The deal:$99-$109 atAmazon
CRs test results:Jabra Elite 65t
Want outstanding true wireless earphones (think no cords or cables) that dont cost a fortune? This deal makes the Jabra Elite 65t a fantastic option. They sound great and come with a number of appealing features. Usually they sell for about $170, but you can pick them up for around $100 at Amazon.

Jabra Elite 85h Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones
The deal:$250 atAmazon
CRs test results:Jabra Elite 85h
The 85h delivers fantastic noise cancellation and dependable sound, and it's available for about $50 off the usual price at Amazon. Features include a detachable audio cable for wired connections, a monitor mode to let in outside sound, a quick-charge function, and an option that Jabra says will automatically adjust the level of noise cancellation based on your environment. Keep in mind there are a few noise-canceling models we like betterthat can be found for less, but these sleek-looking, feature-rich headphones may still be an appealing option for many shoppers.

Jabra Move Style Edition Wireless Headphones
The deal:$60 atAmazon
CRs test results:Jabra Move Style Edition
At its normal price, this model is already one of our top picks forheadphones under $100, and right now you can get it for $40 off. The Jabra Move Style Edition is an on-ear Bluetooth model with a sleek appearance and better-than-average sound. It comes with convenient features such as controls for call, playback, and volume, and the option to forgo Bluetooth and use the detachable audio cable included with your purchase.

Samsung Galaxy Buds True Wireless Earphones
The deal:$118-$119 atAmazon
CRs test results:Samsung Galaxy Buds
The Samsung Galaxy Buds are true wireless earphones, the same style popularized by the AirPods without a cord connecting to earpieces. Despite what you might hear from Apple fans, our testers saythe Buds sound qualityblows the AirPods out of the water. In fact, theyre one of our top-rated headphones of any style. This isnt a hefty discount, and you can pick them for about $10 more any day of the year, but it might be worth pulling the trigger if youve been thinking about a new pair.

Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones
The deal:$278-$279 atAmazon,Best Buy
CRs test results:Sony WH-1000XM3
For years, Bose was essentially the only game in town for top- quality noise-canceling, but Sony has been hot on their tail. This is one of the most popular models on the market, and while we still think Boses flagship model sounds better, the Sony delivers great sound and noise-blocking performance. This is a good price; they usually sell for about $350.

This price represents a significant discount from the Echos regular $100 price, and Amazon's smart speakers are likely to be widely discounted this holiday season.

Vacuums

Dyson Cyclone V10 Motorhead

The deal:$300 atAmazon
CRs test results:Dyson Cyclone V10 Motorhead
The Dyson Cyclone V10 Motorhead is superb on carpets and bare floors, and at getting rid of pet hair. It makes a bit of a racket as you work, but youll appreciate the clean emissions. Like the other Dyson models, this one's Overall Score takes a hit because of the brand's Poor reliability ratings. Youre saving $200 off the usual price.

Hoover React Whole Home Advantage BH53210
The deal:$110 atAmazon
CRs test results:At less than half the usual price of $250, theHoover React Whole Home Advantage BH53210is worth a look. If you have a pet and bare floors, this vacuum will serve you well because it aces those tests. Its also very good at cleaning carpet, and it zips effortlessly along the edges of the walls in our test lab and does so quietly. The one drawback of this Hoover is that it fails to fully contain the debris it sucks up, earning a Poor rating on that test. So bypass this deal if you have allergies.

Shark APEX DuoClean Zero-M Powered Lift-Away AZ1002
The deal:$300 atAmazon
CRs test results:Shark APEX DuoClean Zero-M Powered Lift-Away AZ1002
The 17-pound Shark Apex DuoClean Zero-M Powered Lift-Away AZ1002 is bagless and has micro-filtration, as well as a detachable handheld canister and a 30-foot manual-wind cord. This high-end Shark is packed with bells and whistles, yet it underperforms in CRs most important test: It rates just Good for cleaning carpet, a score that trails many uprights. That said, it cleans bare floors and pet hair especially well, has exceptional suction power, and its emissions are free of debris. This vacuum usually sells for $400.

Shark Ion F80 Cord-Free MultiFlex IF281
The deal:$250 atAmazon
CRs test results:This 8.8-poundShark Ion F80 Cord-Free MultiFlex IF281tackles pet hair and bare floors with ease but struggles on carpet, so it might not be the best option if you have a lot of rugs in your home. It comes with two batteries, so technically youre getting twice the cleaning timein our tests it ran for 24 minutes on one battery charge. This model usually lists for $450.

Shark Navigator Lift-Away Professional NV356E
The deal:$211 atAmazon
CRs test results:Shark Navigator Lift-Away Professional NV356E
The Shark Navigator Professional Lift-Away NV356E earns an Excellent rating for cleaning bare floors and a Very Good rating for cleaning carpet. Its not the best at cleaning up pet hair, so look elsewhere if you share your home with a furry friend or two. This model is baglessand emissions are clean, but like all bagless vacuums, you have to take care not to release debris when you empty the bin. Suction through the hose isnt very impressive, so this model isnt ideal if you often use attachments. At its usual price of $250, this vacuum is already moderately priced, but now you can save $40 on top of that. In our member survey, Shark uprights earn a Very Good rating for predicted reliability and an Excellent rating for owner satisfaction.

Shark Rocket HV301
The deal:$152 atAmazon
CRs test results:Shark Rocket HV301
This Shark stick vac normally sells for a little less than $200, so youre saving around $50. Consumer Reports has not tested this model, though we tested a similar model, the Shark Rocket HV302. The Shark Rocket HV302 earns an Excellent rating for pet-hair pickup and does a super job removing surface debris from carpet. Its also above average at cleaning bare floors. In our member survey, Shark stick vacuums get top marks for predicted reliability and owner satisfaction.

Shark Rocket Pet Pro IZ162H
The deal:$250 atAmazon
CRs test results:Theres a lot to recommend about theShark Rocket Pet Pro IZ162H, including its superb performance at cleaning carpet and bare floors, and vanquishing pet hair. It operates quietly, and emissions are clean, so you dont have to backtrack over areas you already cleaned. But we had to ding this model for its poor performance cleaning along the edges of a room; it earns only a Fair rating on that test. This model usually lists for $300.

Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away NV752
The deal:$275 atAmazon
We havent tested this model, but we expect its performance to be similar to theShark Rotator Powered Lift-Away NV650, which we did test. The 650 is aces at cleaning bare floors and picking up pet hair, earning Excellent ratings on both tests. Cleaning carpet, however, was a bit of a challenge for this upright, so try another model if you have lots of floor coverings. The 752 usually lists for $350.
