I would walk 500 miles (and I would walk 500 more) in the On Cloud 5 sneaker — and it just hit its lowest price after Prime Day!

Tom's Guidea day ago
Amazon Prime Day is over, but deals are still available on a range of products, including the hugely popular On sneaker range.
Right now, you can grab the On Cloud 5 sneaker for $117 at Amazon on selected colors and sizes for a limited time until stocks sell out — that's almost $100 off and the lowest price, even after Prime Day!
Remember, the deal varies depending on size and color. Check out the options below to shop.
The On Cloud 5 is versatile enough for everyday wear, and looks pretty darn good, too. I'd happily walk the miles in these sneakers, and customers highly rate them for being lightweight, high quality and perfect for long periods of wear.
Men's are on sale, too!
As a range, On is seriously taking off. I've noticed that many of my clients and others at my classes are opting for these sneakers over the likes of Adidas and Nike these days.
And as we are all aware, the cost of living is hardly affordable right now, so any money we can save on our favorite sneakers is a bargain. You'll need to check the sizes and colors for the On Cloud 5, but the payoff could be worth it for a little post-Prime Day discount.
The On Cloud 5 is rated as an everyday sneaker, and some happy customers have said it's perfect for long hours of walking or standing, due to its lightweight design and super cushioned collar. I even read that someone transitioned from Brooks to On, which is a huge testament to the shoe's quality.
I really love the On design; it's stripped back, and the color palette is simple and understated, making the shoe look stylish and versatile.
On includes a removable insole and a patented CloudTec sole with a 7mm heel drop. Zero-Gravity foam provides plenty of cushioning, and the molded heel gives you immediate comfort with zero break-in required.
A little touch I like is the speed lacing system, which basically means you can forget tying knots as you're ready to go. On do provide classic laces in the box if you prefer them too.
I strongly recommend shopping before this shoe disappears.

This Spendy Thermostat Is Paying for Itself by Cutting My Energy Bills and It's Still 14% Off

Amazon Prime Day sale: The Nest Learning Thermostat Gen 4 is available for $240 -- a discount of 14% or $40 -- as a deal that's still live post Amazon's July Prime Day sale. Since price is the biggest drawback of this thermostat, this deal makes snapping one up much more compelling. CNET's key takeaways $240 for a smart thermostat may sound like a tough deal, but mine is set to pay for itself this summer thanks to lower heating and cooling payments. Automated Eco Modes make energy saving easy, even if you don't have time to plan out your schedule. Local utility rebates may also help make the thermostat more affordable. My Nest Learning Thermostat Gen 4 is astonishingly beautiful -- I've had people stop in my hallway just to look at the shifting rain and sunset animations. But that beauty, and all the smart features inside, is pricey: Normally priced at $280, it's one of the most expensive smart thermostats I recommend. So why take the plunge? Because Nest's Eco modes are so effective, my Nest smart thermostat is set to pay for itself this summer through electricity savings -- and I barely had to do anything except set it up. Here's how it all works, and why I'm glad I kept this Nest smart thermostat around. Read more: One Tiny Gadget Is the Unsung Hero of Today's Smart, Energy-Saving Home My experience with the Nest Learning Thermostat 4th-gen A Nest Thermostat showing lightning. Google Nest With a larger dial than ever, the Nest Learning Thermostat 4 is well-suited to showing off, both aesthetically and with data-backed insights on indoor and outdoor temperatures, humidity and more. My favorite customization is putting the outside weather at the forefront of the display, which shows moving weather graphics that capture the current state of the skies, from falling snow to twinkling stars. Google's research indicates people save around 10% to 15% on their energy bills with a smart thermostat, which works out to an average savings of $132 to $145 per year. Nest's reports help you chart savings and troubleshoot energy problems. Tyler Lacoma/CNET Those numbers reflected my results fairly well. From early fall to the colder winter months, I saved around $10 to $15 per month with Nest's tweaks and by balancing my electricity usage with less costly natural gas heating. As the months warm up that number is growing higher, and I expect to save around $20 per month in the summer heat -- enough to pay for my thermostat sometime this year. After that, it's all gravy. Smarts behind a pretty face Nest Thermostat 4th-gen showing app controls, sensor settings and more. Tyler Lacoma/CNET Given permission, the thermostat learns my habits and adjusts heating and cooling levels in response. Auto-Eco mode, for example, will turn the thermostat down automatically if it senses there's no activity in the house, which saves more money. Adaptive Eco will take care of the details for me, while Eco Hold will stick to a money-saving temperature that I choose manually. The Auto-Scheduling function does something similar, since it learns how I adjust the thermostat throughout the day and mimics my comfort preferences over time so I don't have to keep tweaking the settings. Google Home makes it easy to apply weekly schedules in moments. Tyler Lacoma/CNET Adjust the temperature manually at any time and when you see the green leaf icon appear, you'll know you're in savings mode. That makes it easy to adjust on the fly when the temperature feels about right, but you'd like to squeeze more savings out of the thermostat. Nest's Eco Modes also generate reports so I can see monthly progress and note any sudden problems or unexpected energy use. If there's a strange jump in energy use, the scheduling may be off, or you may be using electricity-hungry devices too much (my space heater and I are guilty of this). There's also a gamified "leafs" competition against other users that I don't care much about, but it's there for those interested. Satellite sensors and other ways to save Thermostat satellite sensors are one of the best inventions for home heating. Tyler Lacoma/CNET My Nest model also came with a satellite sensor, a little white puck that wirelessly transmits the temperature where it's placed to the thermostat. I can tell the Nest Learning Thermostat 4 to turn on or off based on its own built-in readings, on the readings of the satellite sensor, or a combination of both. Sensors like these help thermostats be more accurate based on where you actually spend time. For example, if I'm going to be spending the evening in a movie session at my TV or computer, I can bring the sensor along and when those heat-exhaling electronics heat up my personal space, the thermostat will take that as a sign to shut off early. The Nest thermostat smart home integrations are very limited, but that does make it easier to set up. Tyler Lacoma/CNET Then there are the peak hours programs, under names like Peak Perks, Rush Hour Rewards, Nest Renew from Google and other labels that indicate a partnership with utility companies. If your local utility supports these programs, you can join up and your Nest thermostat will make additional small changes throughout the day, avoiding the often-pricier peak hour energy use when possible. You give up some control of your thermostat with programs like these, which may displease some users, but it does enable you to save more. Many energy providers will also offer bonuses or rebates you can use to recoup the cost of an expensive thermostat even faster. A quick note about setup: If you're worried about installing the thermostat in your home, there's not much to fear from the process. I have a full guide here, but as long as you practice electrical safety and snap a picture of your current thermostat wiring, setting up the Nest Thermostat Gen 4 and getting it connected to Wi-Fi shouldn't be a problem, especially with Google Home app walkthroughs. The specs for the Nest Learning Thermostat 4th-gen Diameter: 3.9 in (98 mm) Depth: 1.1 in (29 mm) Weight: 5.7 oz (161.8 g) Display: 2.7 inch (68 mm) diameter circular liquid crystal display (600 x 600 pixels) Sensors: Soli sensor for Motion Sense, Temperature, Humidity, Ambient light Power consumption: Less than 1 kWh/month Power source: HVAC system wiring C (common) Wire: Not required Connectivity: Wi-Fi 802.11n (2.4 GHz / 5 GHz) HVAC system compatibility (Check your Nest compatibility here): Most 24V systems, including gas, electric, oil, forced air, heat pump, and radiant. It can control: Heating 1, 2, and 3 stages (W1, W2, W3); Cooling 1 and 2 stages (Y1, Y2); Heat pump with auxiliary and emergency heat (O/B, AUX, E); Fan (G, G2, G3); Power (C, RH, RC); Humidifier and dehumidifier (HUM, DEHUM); Ventilation (VENT). Smart home: Works with Google Home and Matter Warranty: 2-year standard for retail, 5-year standard for HVAC Pros Certifications: Energy Star-certified CNET's buying advice Nest's thermostat is one of the best high-end models I've seen. Tyler Lacoma/CNET It turns out a $240 smart thermostat isn't such a tough sell when I can see how mine will pay for itself in just about a year. It offers a plethora of energy-saving modes that users can pick from to rack up monthly savings -- most of them automated without requiring tinkering or calculators. I've even seen it available with rebates and free installation to speed up that payoff date. While Nest's circular thermostats have always had a flair for the dramatic, the Gen-4 model blows away the competition with a larger design that makes the most of its beautiful LED lighting and presence sensing to light up whenever someone walks past. The bright green leaf icon always shows instant savings for those who don't want to dive too deep into app management. Those who do want to explore the app will find settings for seasons, learning behaviors, weekly schedules and lots more.

Jeff Bezos picks retired Amazon exec as the new CEO of his $10B Bezos Earth Fund

Tom Taylor, president and CEO of the Bezos Earth Fund. (LinkedIn Photo) Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has pulled one of his former executives out of retirement to become the president and CEO of the Bezos Earth Fund, a philanthropic effort to help the planet. Tom Taylor worked for Amazon for more than two decades, retiring in October 2022 as senior vice president of Amazon Alexa and a member of the company's senior leadership team (S-team). 'I am thrilled to join the Bezos Earth Fund and lead with the bold mandate to invent our way out of Earth's environmental challenges with a combination of long-term thinking, technical curiosity, and excellent execution,' Taylor wrote today on LinkedIn. 'I am excited to work with Jeff and Lauren [Sanchez Bezos] to implement their vision and grateful to inherit an incredibly capable and mission driven team.' Bezos launched the fund in February 2020 and issued its first $791 million to 16 environmental groups later that year. The organization set a target of dispersing $10 billion by 2030, and has granted roughly $2.3 billion so far. Its diverse slate of programming includes focuses on land conservation, planet friendly foods, environmental justice, low-carbon energy and industries, climate tech innovation, monitoring and data, and financial markets. Taylor's appointment marks a notable change to the top spot, as the fund's top executives in the past had largely come from the environmental community. Andrew Steer, the former head of the World Resources Institute, was the fund's first CEO and president, resigning his position in February. 'Andrew has decades of experience in environmental and climate science as well as economic and social policy in the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Africa,' Bezos said at the time of Steer's hire in 2021. A couple of months later, the fund brought on Charlotte Pera, who was previously president and CEO of the ClimateWorks Foundation. She departed the Bezos initiative in January 2024, having served as vice president and deputy CEO. When he announced his departure earlier this year, Steer said the fund had 'assembled some of the leading international experts in our field and built a team of some of the most passionate, imaginative, caring, and joyful staff I have ever had the pleasure of working with.' Taylor started his Amazon career as senior vice president of seller services, Amazon Payments and Fulfillment by Amazon. Prior to that, he was director of operations at K2 sports and was an engineer at Delphi Automotive Systems. 'After I retired from Amazon, I followed the good advice to consider this as 'Quarter 3' of my life and looked for an opportunity that balanced my desire for both adventure and service,' he said on LinkedIn. 'Leading the Bezos Earth Fund is this perfect opportunity — a place where I can bring something to the table, learn from some amazing people, and help the planet now and for future generations.'

If You Missed Coffee Machine on Prime Day, Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Bundle Just Got Even Cheaper Now

There's something about that first sip of coffee in the morning that can set the tone for your entire day. Really, for a lot of us, grabbing a cup from a local coffee shop feels like second nature, but those daily runs can add up fast. You can spend a lot of cash on doing those things every day and not even realize it until you're spending $50 a week or more on coffee drinks you could make at home. Check out Amazon to get the Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Coffee and Espresso Machine with Aeroccino Milk Frother for just $132, down from its usual price of $179. That's $47 off and a discount of 26%. See at Amazon This machine makes it super easy to brew some delicious coffee in the blink of an eye. Even if you're not a coffee expert, it can simplify the whole brewing process for you. You pop in a capsule, hit one button, and that's it. The machine reads the barcode on each Nespresso Vertuo pod to automatically adjust brewing time and temperature, which means you don't have to mess with any settings. It brews everything from a quick espresso to a larger, more traditional cup of coffee, and it does it quickly too. You'll go from capsule to cup in under a minute. And that's fast enough to help get you out of bed and out the door with a caffeine fix each day. It's pretty small and compact too, which makes it good for small kitchens, counters, or home offices. Even still, it can help deliver a rich, full-bodied coffee experience that rivals what you'd get from more expensive machines. It's also one of the few models in this size class that offers the same advanced Centrifusion technology found in Nespresso's higher-end machines, so if you ever want to upgrade, you can get a taste of that world early. Plus, because it's part of the Vertuo line, you'll have access to Nespresso's wide range of coffee and espresso pods, including limited editions and seasonal flavors. Right now's great time to make the switch to brewing at home. You get almost 30% off now off its regular cost, which makes it easier to brew up some premium espresso and incorporate it into your daily routine without the premium price tag. If you're tired of long lines, admittedly gross coffee, or the money drain of stopping at Starbucks every single day, you should grab this coffee maker. See at Amazon
