This $70 Discount Drops the Bose SoundLink Micro to a Record-Low $49
The SoundLink Micro comes in four colors -- bright orange, black, stone blue and white smoke -- but note that only the blue colorway is available for $49. All other colors cost $99, which is still $20 in savings.

It has a durable and pocket-sized design and impressive bass performance for its size, as noted by our reviewer. It's IP67 dust- and waterproof and features an integrated strap that can easily be clipped to a bag or backpack. Plus, it has a built-in microphone that can be used for speakerphone calls. Its limited six-hour battery is definitely a drawback, but at this discounted price, that may be a flaw you can overlook.
Bose is known for its high-quality audio gear. It occasionally offers deals, but discounts as high as this one are pretty rare -- especially outside of major shopping events such as Black Friday and Cyber Week. Right now, you can score this Bluetooth speaker for a staggering $70 off, which is a savings of almost 60%.

This All-in-One Appliance Is My New Kitchen Sidekick, and It's 20% With This Last-Chance July 4th Deal
As a writer for CNET's How-To team, I've tried out a lot of all-in-one devices. So when I first got my hands on the Chefman Everything Maker, I was expecting it to be something of a novelty. What I got instead was a genuinely useful, space-saving kitchen sidekick that's now become part of my daily cooking routine. It's clever, compact, and capable of making just about everything, from pizza and eggs to waffles and paninis, all without taking up half the counter. The normal list price of $59.99 on the Chefman website already feels like a steal for what this thing does. Which is, well, everything. But right now for the Fourth of July weekend, you can get the Everything Maker in the concrete color for 25% off on Amazon, bringing the price down to just $45 . (The midnight version is also on sale for 20% off.) Too often, all-in-one kitchen appliances end up doing a lot of things poorly instead of doing one thing well. And, because some models have a lot of components, they can be a nightmare to clean. But the Everything Maker quickly won me over. The nonstick cooking surfaces heat up quickly and clean off with minimal effort (a serious win in my book). I've made crispy hash browns, gooey grilled cheese, breakfast sandwiches and perfectly golden pancakes -- all in one compact machine. The Chefman Everything Maker lives up to its name by offering a versatile, all-in-one cooking solution. Macy Meyer/CNET And it's not just a breakfast tool. I've used it for late-night quesadillas and quick lunches more times than I can count in the past few weeks. The design is intuitive, easy to store upright (although I rarely put it away) and surprisingly durable. No extra bells and whistles here. It's just a well-made, easy-to-use appliance that works every time. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. How I use my Everything Maker Macy Meyer/CNET The Chefman Everything Maker lives up to its name by offering a versatile, all-in-one cooking solution that fits easily on a countertop. With a 12-inch nonstick cooking surface and a slim, compact design, it's well-suited for small kitchens or anyone looking to simplify meal prep. I've found it particularly convenient for cooking breakfast foods like eggs and pancakes with the lid open, then switching to grilled sandwiches or quesadillas with the lid closed. It also heats quickly and evenly, reaching up to 428°F (220°C), which is enough for searing, sautéing or even light grilling. I made a summer flatbread (with burrata, pesto and prosciutto) over the weekend and used the Everything Maker to lightly sear some peaches to add as a topping. They came out perfectly. Cleanup is another strong point. The nonstick surface wipes down easily after use -- no scrubbing or soaking required -- which has made it a reliable go-to for quick weekday meals. The Everything Maker also comes with a digital cookbook featuring 16 chef-crafted recipes, which I've used as inspiration for trying new dishes beyond my usual routine. While it doesn't replace every kitchen tool, the Everything Maker handles a surprising variety of tasks in a compact footprint. Best Prime Day Kitchen Appliance Deals Score some of the best discounts of the year on top kitchen tech during Prime Day, and our shopping experts have rounded up the only deals worth taking seriously this year. See Now My buying advice Whether you're shopping for a gift or just want to level up your own cuisine game, the Chefman Everything Maker is a surprisingly versatile little appliance. Even at full price, it offers solid value and delivers big on convenience, but for just $45, you really can't beat the value. If you're looking for a gift for a new graduate who will be living on their own for the first time, the Chefman Everything Maker hits that sweet spot of compact and functional. At $60, it's already reasonably priced even without the discount. But the $45 deal on Amazon is quite the steal, considering it's the kind of gadget that actually gets used and will keep getting used. While the Everything Maker isn't on sale on the Chefman website currently, it's still worth checking Chefman's website from time to time. They run promotions regularly (in fact, my favorite Obliterator Blender is almost 20% off right now). If you're looking for other useful, fun gifts for your favorite hostess or the chef in your life, here are our favorite kitchen gifts under $50.

How we choose deals CNET has a team of shopping experts and deal hunters who've operated across major sales events for many years, making sure you understand when a deal is worth taking advantage of and when it's worth skipping. Whether it's for Black Friday, Prime Day or the Fourth of July, we have the expertise to make sure you get the best deal possible. To do this, we look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time when choosing an offer to show you. Real discounts mean real discounts. We look at the price history for that product to make sure no manufacturers are inflating prices to make the discount seem more substantial than it is. Quality reviews are equally important for any product, but particularly for deeply discounted items. If it breaks the first time you use it, the discount isn't really worthwhile. Remaining sale time is a huge part of our vetting process. If a deal seems like it will only be around for a short while or will only be available for the remaining stock, we'll let you know in advance, so you don't return later only to be disappointed. We are also considering the rising costs associated with tariffs to help you find items worth buying now.

The best Amazon Prime Day deals under $50: Save on gear from Blink, Anker, Samsung and others
Big ticket items like TVs and iPads might get the lion's share of the attention during Amazon's big sale, but there are plenty of Prime Day deals to be had for under $50, too. We've combed through the pages (and pages) of discounts to find the brands and gadgets that we at Engadget actually recommend. Our picks include power banks from Anker, smart plugs from TP-Link, microSD cards from Samsung and smart speakers from Amazon Echo. We've also linked back to our reviews and buying guides to help with your shopping decisions. Here are the best Prime Day tech deals under $50 that are available right now. Amazon Fire TV Stick HD for $18 ($17 off with Prime): We name this the best budget streaming stick on our list of the best streaming devices. It's easy to set up and so you can access all of the major streaming platforms. Just note that it only streams content at 1080p, not 4K and the UI is more ad-heavy than competing streamers. Apple AirTag for $23 ($6 off): Here's our pick for a Bluetooth tracker for iPhone users. These little discs have the most accurate finding ability of any fob we tested, thanks to Apple's vast Find My network that taps into all nearby iPhones to track down your missing stuff. They could be louder and hole would be nice, but nothing beats its accuracy. Samsung Fit Plus 56GB flash drive for $23 ($12 off): We named this the best thumbstick drive in our guide to the best SSDs. It has a sleek design, five-year warranty and has a USB 3.1 connection. There's even a small attachment point for a keychain so you can take your extra storage drive with you when you go. Thermacell E55 Rechargeable Repeller for $25 ($10 off): The mosquitos aren't going anywhere. Even places that didn't used to have these evil bloodsuckers are now overrun. If you would like some reprieve from the bites, this is the repeller we recommend in our guide to outdoor tech. TP-Link AC1200 WiFi extender for $20 ($10 off): If you've got some dead spots in your home's internet coverage and aren't quite ready for a mesh setup, a Wi-Fi extender can help. This is our favorite budget option in our guide to these plug-in devices thanks to its easy setup and user-friendly app. Amazon Echo Pop for $22 ($18 off with Prime): The smallest (and cheapest) Echo speaker is ideal for small apartments or rooms. The half-sphere design comes in purple and teal in addition to the standard black and white colorways. It's gone as low as $18 in past Prime Day sales. Anker Nano USB-C charger block for $16 ($4 off): Remember when tiny bricks like this all maxed out at a dinky five-watts? This tiny but mighty cube is the best cheap fast charger in our guide to fast chargers and it outputs a generous 30 watts, plus the prongs fold down to make it even more teensy. Soundcore Select 4 Go Bluetooth speaker for $22 ($13 off with Prime): One of the newest additions to our guide to the best Bluetooth speakers is this 'lil guy from Soundcore (Anker). We found it had decent sound quality and was loud enough to fill a standard-sized living room. It's gone as low at $20 in the past. Amazon Smart Plug for $13 ($12 off with Prime): This plug and an Alexa Echo device makes a perfect smart home starter kit (and a number of Echos are on sale for Prime Day, too). Snap this into your outlet and Alexa should automatically detect it (if not, a few taps in the Alexa app should get things connected). Then you can use it to control any lamp, fan or other simple device you plug into it — just by asking the assistant. Blink Mini 2 security camera for $20 ($20 off with Prime): Our pick for the best budget security camera is now even more budget friendly. We appreciated this diminutive camera's ease of setup and excellent integration with Alexa devices, like Echo speakers and displays. It requires a subscription for person detection and cloud storage, and the image quality wasn't the best of the bunch. Amazon Echo Dot for $32 ($18 off with Prime): Amazon seems to wait for Prime Day sales to give its smart speakers hefty discounts. We see minor sales throughout the year, but not quite this steep (though it's gone as low as $23 in past sales). So if you want to bring Alexa's peppy helpfulness into your home, this is a good time to do so. The Dot is our favorite smart speaker under $50. Amazon Echo Dot Kids with Alexa for $32 ($28 off with Prime): The kids version of Amazon's smart speaker is the same hardware but with a kid-themed cover (owl or dragon) and it comes with a free year-long subscription to Amazon Kids+ with audiobooks, games and educational Alexa skills. Blink Video Doorbell for $30 ($30 off with Prime): If you already use Alexa in your home and want a compatible video doorbell, you may want to check out this deal. Note that you'll need a Blink subscription and a Blink Sync Module to store clips and to access other features. You can wire it to your existing doorbell wires or use it wirelessly with two AA batteries that can last up to two years. HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 gaming headset for $36 ($14 off): In our guide to gaming headsets, we ultimately recommend getting an external mic along with a good pair of wired headphones for chatting. But if you really want a two-in-one, the Cloud Stinger 2 is our pick for a budget gaming headset. Razer Basilisk V3 gaming mouse for $40 ($30 off): Some prefer a wired connection when playing games. Razer's Basilisk V3 is our top budget pick for a wired mouse in our gaming mouse guide. It's comfortable, well-built, accurate and a good value — particularly with a Prime Day discount. Amazon Echo Spot for $45 ($35 off with Prime): The Spot speaker was resurrected last year with a slightly different design than it first had. Now the display is a half-circle on the round face of the clock and it can show you the weather, time and song title. The speaker itself brings you all Alexa can do, like setting timers, adding stuff to your grocery lists and answering questions about the weather. Leebin Electric Spin Scrubber for $40 (43 percent off): This was Deputy Editor Valentina Palladino's favorite thing she bought last year because it makes the must-detested chore of cleaning her shower less of a pain. It's an electric spin scrubber that comes with multiple cleaning heads so you can use it on your countertops, sinks, tubs and showers and more. It also has an adjustable arm so you can reach tough spots in hard-to-reach places, and it convenient recharges via USB-C. Amazon Echo Buds with Active Noise Cancellation for $45 ($95 off with Prime): These buds are a bit old at this point, as they came out in 2021, but the 68 percent discount could be compelling. In our review, we said the buds were much improved over the last generation. They're more comfortable and have a better sound quality. Plus the Alexa integration makes them a decent pick for those who've gone all-in on Amazon's ecosystem. Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam for $40 ($40 off with Prime): This indoor security camera can spin 360 degrees and has a tilt range of 169 degrees so you can keep tabs on pets and other happenings at home. It'll let you drop in for a live view from your phone, and supports two-way talk for telling your pup to get off the couch. UGreen Revodok Pro 109 USB-C Hub for $39 ($16 off): The top pick in our guide to the best USB-C hubs has a good array of ports, including an HDMI 2.0 connection that supports 4K monitors at 60Hz, plus three USB-A ports, Ethernet and one USB-C (plus another for delivering 90W of power to your device. The hub has gone as low as $30 in prior sales.
