Check out our Best Robot Vacuums guide for more options, and read our tips on cutting your hair before you grab the clippers.
REI Labor Day Sale: REI's sale runs until September 7. Some of our favorite deals include 25 percent off Darn Tough socks, and 25 percent off Burley trailers. WIRED senior writer Adrienne So reviewed and liked the Burley Encore—and it was stolen, much to her sorrow. Thief, if you're reading this, please kindly return it. Thanks.
iRobot Roomba S9+ for $999 ($301 off): This is a robot vacuum that's in a league of its own. It will rarely get stuck, plus you get a self-emptying base, excellent edge-detection capabilities, and a rubber roller brush that's great on low-pile carpets. You can read more about it in our review.
Wahl Color Pro Cordless Rechargeable Hair Clippers for $30 ($8 off): Need to give yourself a haircut? These clippers can help. They're well reviewed on Amazon and include several guides to find the right length.
Sabrent Rocket Nano 2-Terabyte USB 3.2 External SSD for $240 ($60 off): Use coupon code 20AA5RPD to save. We haven't tested this brand before, but the specs (and reviews) look right. The price is the best yet.
Apple AirPods Pro for $220 ($29 off): This is the lowest price we've seen for the best earbuds for iPhone owners. The included case can recharge wirelessly, too.
Roku Premiere 4K Streaming Media Player for $30 ($10 off): This isn't the top-of-the-line Roku, but we do recommend it as the cheapest 4K-capable model.
Insta360 One R for 10% Off: This sale might not seem like much, but it is the best discount we've seen on this hybrid action/360 camera with interchangeable lenses. It doesn't drop in price often, and we really like it.
Up to 50% Off at Moment: Moment's month-long sale is still running. We like a lot of Moment products; the Tele 58mm Lens made our Best Compact Cameras roundup. You need a special phone case to use Moment lenses, but cases are on sale, too. In case you need a new camera bag, we highly recommend the new MTW Backpack.
Beats Powerbeats for $130 ($20 off): This deal is one we've seen before, but it's still a good price, and the discount applies to all of the available colors. The Powerbeats are our pick as the best workout headphones for iPhone users. This is a part of a bigger sale on Beats headphones.
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout (PS4) Free for PlayStation Plus Members ($20 off): This is currently the darling of gamers everywhere, and if you've got PlayStation Plus, it's free. Usually it costs $20. No membership? You can get one for $15 off through a reputable seller on eBay (I, Louryn, always purchase my PS Plus memberships through this store.)
Newegg Xbox One Digital Games Sale: A bunch of digital codes for Xbox One games are on sale through Monday. Red Dead Redemption 2 is only a few dollars more than we've ever seen it fall, and so is The Outer Worlds—a personal favorite of some WIRED Gear writers.
Razer Kraken X Gaming Headset + Razer Ornata V2 Gaming Keyboard for $100 ($50 off): This headset is similar to the one we recommend—it's just missing the cute kitty ears. Razer keyboards are great too, and the one that comes with this bundle features customizable Chroma RGB lighting for that gamer aesthetic.
Nintendo eShop Sale: There are several deals on digital Switch games, including Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, which is one of our favorites.
Humble Bundle End of Summer Sale: This gigantic sale offers up to 90 percent off, though realistically you'll save about half compared to typical retail prices. It's still a good way to fill up your game library. There are some nice EA discounts, including on our favorite Sims 4 expansions.
