The iRobot Roomba j7+ is a ZDNET favorite, earning our robot vacuum reviewer’s title for best iRobot vacuum. Some features that earned it first place included its PrecisionVision Navigation, three-stage cleaning system, and Clean Base, which allow it to deep clean and navigate your home while avoiding objects and self-emptying when full.
The Roomba j7+ is $200 off at Best Buy right now. If you were considering taking a plunge and making the already big investment, save yourself some money and buy it while a deal as big as this one is going on.
ZDNET’s smartwatch reviewer dubbed the Garmin Epix (Gen 2) GPS Smartwatch “Garmin’s best modern GPS sports watch.” The biggest pro of the watch is its vibrant AMOLED display, which rivals that of the Apple Watch and Galaxy models.
The watch is also equipped to track all of your lifestyle metrics such as steps, heart rate, sleep, and more. The watch typically retails at $900, but you can save $200 with Best Buy’s deal.

The Sony A95K is another ZDNET favorite, earning it a spot as ZDNET’s best OLED TV overall for 2023. This TV is meant for someone who really cares about the picture quality of what they are watching, with upscaled 4K resolution, a wide range of colors, XR OLED Contrast Pro, and Dolby Vision support.

The biggest con of this TV is its price tag, which is steep due to all of its exceptional visual and sound features. But you can buy it for $300 off right now.
If you are in the market for a new MacBook but don’t want to break the bank, the Apple MacBook Air 13.3-inch Laptop with the M1 chip is a great option. Because it doesn’t have Apple’s latest chip, it is available at a lower price point and is still an extremely capable and efficient laptop.
Also: The best October Prime Day Apple deals
I use this laptop as my personal laptop and have no complaints as it serves my everyday needs. Apple products rarely go on sale, and when it does it’s usually minor, so the opportunity to save $250 is something you won’t want to pass up on.
If you are doing holiday shopping, the JBL Xtreme 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker is one of those items that is nearly guaranteed to make a perfect gift for everyone. As long as the person listens to music, which is mostly everyone, they could benefit from a good quality speaker.
This speaker provides up to 15 hours of playtime, is waterproof, and can connect to up to two devices. Most importantly, the speaker is a whopping 43% off at $200.
