The Vitamix Ascent blender is the easiest 5-star review I've ever given, and it's $200 off for Prime Day
My partner and I were genuinely bummed when we had to send it back after I tested it, so much so that we're considering putting it on our wedding registry.
This huge 31% discount for Amazon Prime Day is tempting me, though. Vitamix revamped its Ascent series in 2024, and deals on its latest models have been few and far between ever since the relaunch.
Backed with a 10-year warranty, I'm confident that this is the only blender you'll ever need to buy.
This is probably the best blender deal I've seen while trawling the internet for all the top discounts ahead of Prime Day. While $449 is still a hefty price, it's the only blender you'll ever need to buy.
While spending $449 on a blender is no small investment, this truly is the Ferrari of blenders.
If you've been waiting for the right moment to invest in a new blender, this 31% discount comes seriously recommended. I don't give five-star reviews often, and this is by far the top blender I've ever tried. You can read our full review to learn more.
Like the Ascent Series, the Propel blender has pre-set Programs: Smoothie, Hot Soup, and Frozen Dessert. It's also got a generous 48-oz blending cup, but lacks the smart display of the Ascent.
The 5200 is an oldie but a goodie. It comes with variable speed control to hit a range of textures, from chopping to emulsifying, and you can easily switch it up with the control dial. It also has an immense 64-oz pitcher, meaning you can blend for a crowd.
If you're in the market for a new immersion blender, the Vitamix Immersion Blender is a fantastic choice. It's got a 5-foot long cord and 5 speed settings, making it most versatile than many of the other immersion blenders on the market.

This 2-Pack of 20W iPhone Chargers Is Nearly Free, Anker Is Clearing Out the Last of Its Stock
Amazon has barely had time to catch its breath with Prime Day, and already it is launching Back to School deals with a new wave of discounts. In all these deals, some of the small (but vital) pieces of hardware like Anker's chargers have caught our attention. Right now, Amazon is featuring the Anker 2-Pack 20W fast USB-C charger at its lowest price ever: Normally $19, with a coupon applied at checkout, this set drops to only $12 which is a savings of over 32%. For less than the cost of a single charger from many brands, you're getting two high-quality blocks plus two 5-foot USB-C cables. See at Amazon These wall charger blocks give you a maximum of 20W fast charging power each, and that's precisely what you require for the latest iPhone models (like the iPhone 16, 16 Pro Max, and more) and really any other more recent Apple device. Fast charging allows you to charge your battery from flat to more than 50% in around 25 minutes so you never have to sit around waiting for your phone to come on. The blocks are also universal for a wide selection of other devices including the iPad Pro, AirPods, Android phones, tablets, and even some small laptops. There's actually a dual-port feature: both adapters feature a USB-C and a USB-A port. You can charge two devices at once without slowing down which is perfect if you're working with a phone and a wireless earbud case for instance. Having both ports available to use simultaneously enables you to have your tech ready for the needs of all day, and it makes life a little bit easier where power outlets are limited. Safety is of the highest concern with this Anker pack: Each charger has Anker's MultiProtect safe system which safeguards your devices using advanced temperature control, overcurrent protection, and short-circuit prevention. It is nice to have peace of mind and know your phone or tablet is safe to fast charge. At $12 for a pair of chargers and cables, it's hard to find something better or more useful in your daily tech setup before the new term begins. See at Amazon

I'm a deals hunter — 5 queen mattresses under $400 to shop this weekend
At Tom's Guide we're experts at spotting mattress deals, so even though the July 4th and Prime Day sales have come to an end, we've found a saving for every sleep style. Including the Cool Gel all-foam mattress only $348 for a queen at Amazon — perfect for the summer heatwaves. These budget beds might not have the the durability of the best mattresses we've tested, but they should still deliver sleep comfort. And they all either come from brands we've tried and recommended or have a bucket load of positive customer reviews. Every mattress in this guide is under $400 for a queen, so if you're looking to spruce up your spare room, these are the best mattress sales to please both your guests and your wallet. 1. Cool Gel 12" Memory Foam Mattress (queen): was $368 now $348 at AmazonStruggling to sleep in the summer heat? While the budget-friendly Cool Gel Mattress might not have the impressive temperature regulation of our top-rated cooling mattresses, we think it should still help you enjoy a more refreshing night's rest. And it won't break the bank, with a queen now only $348 at Amazon. Reviews indicate the 12" model is on the firm side of medium-firm so if you want something more plush, upgrade to the 14" option, now $509 for a queen (down from $569.) 2. Serta Five Star Tranquility 10" Plush Mattress (queen): was $499 now $374 at AmazonYou'll need an Amazon Prime account to snag this saving but for members, the queen Serta Five Star 10" is now only $374 (and if you aren't a member, we have all you need to know about joining Amazon Prime.) From Serta, the Five Star Mattress uses a multi-layered design to pair support with cushioning. Serta claims this model is 'Plush' which should give it a pressure-relieving feel similar to our favorite mattresses for side sleepers. There are rare savings across the line-up and if you want the true Five Star experience, consider upgrading to the 12" Plush, now $419.30 for a queen (was $599.) 3. Brooklyn Bedding 12" Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress (queen): was $504 now $268 at WalmartBrooklyn Bedding makes some of the best hybrid mattress we've tested and this budget-friendly model is ideal for a guest room (or a college dorm, if you need a mattress for the kids that are flying the nest.) Reviews suggest the 12" model delivers a medium firmness that should suit back and side sleepers. If you have a bigger budget, the Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex mattress line-up will deliver better durability. But for an affordable sleep solution, this is a bargain at $268 for a queen. 4. EGOHOME 12" Memory Foam Mattress (queen): was $429.99 now $329 at AmazonWe recently got our hands on this bed and our EGOHOME Black Memory Foam Mattress review team agreed the body-hugging comfort could rival some of the best memory foam mattresses we've tested, particularly for side sleepers. While it was slightly cheaper during Amazon Prime Day (when we saw a queen drop to $311), with a less than $20 price difference we still think this is an impressive deal and worth taking advantage of. 5. Zinus Spa Sensations Green Tea 10" Memory Foam Mattress (queen): was $288 now $168 at WalmartThis isn't the exact same model we tested in our Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress review but we think it will deliver a similar cushy comfort that's ideal for side sleepers. As a budget all-foam bed with a sink-in feel we suspect it will have a tendency to trap heat, so you might want to invest in cooling bedding to see you through the summer. And with a queen only $168 in Walmart's rollback sale, you should have room in the budget for some of our favorite cooling sheets.
