Amazon Deals of the Day: Grab Your Kid a Backpack and Fire 8 Kids Tab for $95 Off

CNET6 hours ago

Amazon sells a vast array of products, with new ones arriving daily across many categories, including home essentials, tech gear and furniture. As much as the retail giant loves adding new products, Amazon also loves cutting prices. But you don't have to wait for its Prime Day event to find great deals. Deciding what offers are worth grabbing (and which aren't) is a full-time job, our job, specifically. That's why we scope out the top deals for you.
Today, we spotted a bundle offer for your kids, a Kids Fire Tab 8 and a matching backpack for just $70. For you, we found the L'Or Barista espresso machine for $100 off and the Shark AI robot vacuum with a grand 50% discount.
If you're thinking about getting a tablet for your kids, the Amazon Fire Tab 8 is our favorite option. The Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition includes parental controls, a bumper case made of rubber to protect the device, a two-year replacement warranty, because we know how kids are, and a six-months subscription to Amazon Kids Plus. This tab has a higher-resolution screen, faster performance and more storage compared to the previous gen.
It usually runs for $140, but right now you can get the Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids tablet and a matching backpack to go along with it for just $70. That's an insane savings of 50% on just the tablet alone. But since Amazon is throwing in the backpack too, it bumps the savings up to $95, an unbeatable bargain.
There's no better way to start your morning than with a fresh cup of coffee, or espresso if you're feeling fancy. And with the L'Or Barista System coffee and espresso machine combo by Philips, you don't have to spend money every morning at the cafe to get your caffeine fix. The L'Or Barista is a single-serve machine that uses high-pressure brewing to make both coffee and espresso.
The system can brew six different sizes of hot or iced coffee and espresso. The machine heats up in just 25 seconds, so you're not waiting super long. Similar to Nespresso, L'Or has their own capsules that come in tons of different flavors, you're sure to find something you love -- just keep in mind that capsules are sold separately. The machine is normally $189, not too bad for a fancy espresso machine. But this 53% discount just dropped the price down to a record low of $89.
If you're anything like me, you love to have people over to the house, especially in the summer. Although it's lots of fun, your floors face the consequences. Vacuuming all the time can become tiresome, unless you opt for a robot vacuum. A great option is the Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum. It has voice command, a 60-day capacity, object detection, lidar precision home mapping and even 360-degree sensors so it doesn't knock into items in your home.
The HEPA filtration feature helps capture and trap 99.97% of dust and allergens, which helps keep your air clean, too. It works on both carpets or hard floors. A feature that I love is the "Matrix Clean Navigation," which enables the robot vacuum to make multiple passes in a grid to ensure the cleanest floors possible. You can even schedule cleanings from the app. It normally runs for an eye-opening $599 but you can grab it for half off now, bringing it down to a record low of $298.
With so many deals on Amazon, deciding which ones are worth your money can be difficult. But CNET's combed through what the world's largest online retailer has to offer and gathered the best deals for you to peruse.

Wall Street Goes All-In on Risky Stocks

(Bloomberg) — Investors are piling into speculative and volatile edges of the stock market, throwing caution to the wind as the S&P 500 Index closes in on an all-time high. US Renters Face Storm of Rising Costs Philadelphia Transit System Votes to Cut Service by 45%, Hike Fares Mapping the Architectural History of New York's Chinatown Squeezed by Crowds, the Roads of Central Park Are Being Reimagined US State Budget Wounds Intensify From Trump, DOGE Policy Shifts The risks remain: President Donald Trump's tariff pause is scheduled to end in two weeks, signs of a slowing economy and weakening consumer sentiment are mounting, and war is rumbling in the background. Wall Street strategists are encouraging everyone to buy stocks with strong balance sheets that can withstand any sudden shock. But investors appear to be ignoring all of it. The Invesco S&P 500 High Beta ETF, an exchange-traded fund that tracks highly volatile stocks, is on track for its best quarter since 2020 relative to the Invesco S&P 500 Low Volatility ETF. Meanwhile, a Goldman Sachs gauge of stocks with weak balance sheets is eyeing the best month relative to the S&P 500 since January. 'This is the very beginning of a period of FOMO that happens in the late stages of every structural bull market — every single one,' said Julian Emanuel, chief equity and quantitative strategist at Evercore ISI. 'What we are surprised by is the speed at which speculation has been embraced given the record bearishness just a little over two months ago and also in light of what continues to be significant economic and policy uncertainty.' The key is individual investors, who favor momentum plays like big tech stocks and speculative names. They kept buying even in early April when the S&P 500 teetered on the brink of a bear market and institutional money managers sold out during the depths of the tariff-fueled market meltdown. Buying Dips Works 'Let's go back to the various dips that we've seen in the market, starting with Covid,' said Paul Nolte, market strategist and senior wealth adviser at Murphy & Sylvest Wealth Management. 'Every time that the market declined in a very short fashion, investors have learned: Buy the dip and buy the higher-beta type stocks.' Large-cap technology behemoths have been the main drivers of the markets in the past two years. They had a brief hiatus earlier this year when the rise of Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek raised concerns about who will dominate AI, but tech giants are back in the driver's seat, leading the sharp recovery in the S&P 500 since the tariff selloff. 'Once the tariffs kind of de-escalated, investors came back to the dominant theme, which is AI,' said Keith Lerner, co-chief investment officer at Truist Advisory Services. This strong focus on big tech is even holding back one risky corner of the market — small-cap stocks. The small-capitalization Russell 2000 Index and the S&P 600 Index, which unlike the Russell only includes profitable smaller companies, are both lagging the S&P 500 this year and quarter. Strategists point out that technology has a relatively lighter weight in these small-cap gauges. Information technology and communication services together have a nearly 43% weight in the S&P 500, but just 13% in the Russell 2000 and and about 16% in the S&P 600. The strength of tech firms is also driving profit growth at the index level. The S&P 500's earnings this year are estimated to grow about 8% from last year, with information technology the strongest anticipated gainer at nearly 21%. Expectations for other sectors pale in comparison. 'In a time of uncertainty around earnings, investors are gravitating towards areas that have more of a secular theme,' Truist's Lerner said.

Google launches Doppl, a new app that lets you visualize how an outfit might look on you

Google is launching a new experimental app called Doppl that uses AI to visualize how different outfits might look on you, the company announced on Thursday. The app is available on iOS and Android in the U.S. Doppl is designed to let you virtually try on outfits on a digital version of yourself. The app works by first getting you to upload a full-body photo of yourself. From there, you can use photos or screenshots of different outfits to virtually try them on. These images could be a photo of an outfit you see at a thrift store or on a friend, or even a screenshot of an outfit you see while scrolling through social media. Once you select an outfit that you want to visualize, Doppl will create an image of a virtual version of yourself wearing the outfit. Doppl can also take these static images and convert them into AI-generated videos so you can get a better sense of how the outfit would look on you in real life. You can save your favorite looks and browse through all of your other virtual try-ons. Plus, you can also share your look with others. The tech giant says the new app builds on Google Shopping's recently launched capabilities that allow you to try on clothes virtually. By launching the functionality in a standalone app, Google is making the feature easier to access while allowing people to explore their style in a fun and interactive way, the company believes. It may also help Google collect more data on how apps like this could work, to aid its future efforts in the space. While Google has offered virtual try-on technology before, the earlier features focused on showing items on a diverse range of models' bodies. With Doppl, the company is letting you try clothes on an animated version of your own body. 'We hope Doppl helps you explore your style in new and exciting ways,' Google said in a blog post. 'As a Google Labs experiment, Doppl is in its early days and it might not always get things right. Fit, appearance and clothing details may not always be accurate.' Given that the Doppl is an experimental launch, it's unknown when or if Google plans to bring the app to additional regions.
