Street Price: $100; Deal Price: $75

Our runner-up pick for the best headphones under $200 rarely drop at all, and when they do, it tends to be to $80 for a couple days. This $75 sale is the best price we've seen in a year.

Lectrofan

Street Price: $50; Deal Price: $35

Matching the best price we've ever seen on the Lectrofan, our top pick in our guide to the best white noise machine, this is the first time this year we've seen it drop below $40.

By far the best price we've seen on this sought after item, this $70 price is well below what we saw on Black Friday/Cyber Monday '17. It's discounted below the price of the older Bluetooth only model.

The Anova Precision Cooker Wi-Fi is our pick in our guide to the best sous vide machine and gear. Tim Barribeau and Nick Guy wrote, "this immersion circulator is accurate, impressively easy to use, and compatible with more vessels than other sous vide cookers. The addition of Wi-Fi allows you to set the unit remotely."

Amazon Fire HD 8

Street price: $80; Deal price: $50

This matches the low price we've seen for this tablet in new condition. We saw a refurb for only $10 less a week or so back, so this is an excellent deal on our budget pick in our guide to the best Android tablets.

The ChargeTech Portable Power Outlet is the runner-up pick in our guide to the best portable AC battery pack. Mark Smirniotis wrote, "the ChargeTech Portable Power Outlet is about the size of a hardcover book and fits well alongside books and laptops in a bag or backpack.

Travelpro Platinum Magna 2 22-Inch luggage case (black, charcoal grey, and marsala red)

Street price: $240; Deal price: $200

Still the best price we've seen in recent months and for once, other colors are available during one of these sales. We typically only see deals on the black model.

The Travelpro Platinum Magna 2 22-Inch is our pick for more capacity in our guide to the best carry-on luggage. Kit Dillon wrote, "though we've come to prefer the maneuverability of the four-wheeled design, some people may prefer the extra space (about 400 cubic inches or the size of two rolled-up sweatshirts) and wheel durability of the two-wheeled model."

Kindle Paperwhite

Street Price: $100; Deal Price: $80

At $80, this matches the best price we've seen on the Paperwhite this year. That deal price was last available in April, with newer sales only dropping to $90.

The Kindle Paperwhite is our pick in our guide to the best ebook reader. Nick Guy wrote, "The 2015 Wi-Fi edition of the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is the best e-reader for most people thanks to stellar hardware, a massive library that frequently offers better prices than others, and a slew of services unavailable on other readers."

Our affordable Echo down down to $30, matching a low we've seen a couple times this year, which will likely continue to be the most affordable way to expand your smart home options.

Insta360 One

Street price: $300; Deal price: $240

This is the second best price we've seen on this recommended 360 cam, our fantastic editing features and software pick.

The Insta360 One is an also great pick in our guide to the best 360-degree camera. Geoffrey Morrison wrote, "the Insta360 One doesn't quite have the image quality of the Theta V, but it almost makes up for it with a stellar app that lets you edit videos in lots of different ways, most interestingly by creating a square 1080p "regular" video out of your 360 content with smooth pans, subject tracking, and more."

Sony UBP-X800 Blu-ray Player

Street price: $250; Deal price: $158

This is a deal we typically see only during deal holidays: a great drop on this 4K Blu-ray player, within $10 of deal pricing we saw during holiday season.
