I got this under-desk treadmill and it changed my life, and it just crashed to $127 for Prime Day

Tom's Guide08-07-2025
I used to think people who used under-desk treadmills — also called walking pads — were weird. Why walk, I thought, when one can sit? Well, then I got an under-desk treadmill, and I actually look forward to using it.
I've tried all of the WFH hacks — a kneeling chair, a standing desk, etc — but now that I've got this home treadmill, I don't think I can ever live without one. Right now the DeerRun Q1 Mini is just $127 on Amazon, which is its second lowest price ever.
Here's why I think this is a great Prime Day deal.
The DeerRun Q1 Mini is the perfect walking pad for my apartment. It's the smallest under-desk treadmill DeerRun makes, which is ideal for my 1-bedroom space. It's not exactly lightweight, but it's much more maneuverable than alternatives. I can tuck it away beside my standing desk between uses.
Although I haven't written my review of the DeerRun Q1 Mini yet, I'm probably going to give it 4 or 4.5 stars. The Q1 Mini has everything I want in an under-desk treadmill: it's small; it's relatively portable (all things considered); and it has a handy remote. It's quiet while operating, and even has an app.
The app (called PitPat, how cute!) is full of workouts and routines. While I haven't used any of these yet — I've just been using the Q1 Mini as an under-desk treadmill while working — this means the Q1 Mini can be more than just a walking pad.
If your floor is uneven, the Q1 Mini has adjustable feet so you can make sure the treadmill is balanced wherever it is. The treadmill also has handy wheels at the front, so you can put it in any place you desire with ease.

Two Officials Dissent as Fed Leaves Rates Unchanged - What's News

P.M. Edition for July 30. As was widely expected, the Federal Reserve held rates steady for a fifth straight meeting. But in a rare move, two officials disagreed with the decision. WSJ investing columnist Spencer Jakab joins to discuss why, and what the Fed might be paying attention to ahead of its next meeting in September. Plus, President Trump announces new tariff rates for Brazil and India, and says he won't extend the Aug. 1 deadline for countries to make trade deals with the U.S. And Amazon will pay the New York Times at least $20 million annually to license its content to train artificial intelligence. We hear from WSJ reporter Alexandra Bruell about the significance of that deal. Alex Ossola hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter.

Anker's 4.7-Star USB-C Car Charger Might Be Cheaper Than Your Salad Bowl, Limited Stock Available

A dying phone at the exact moment you need directions is a special kind of stress. The Anker USB-C Car Charger, 40W 2-Port is an easy antidote. It lives quietly in the 12‑volt socket, waits for the engine to start, and feeds quick power to two devices at once so maps stay bright, kids keep streaming, and you can call ahead without watching the battery bar sink. Small, sturdy, and out of the way, it is the kind of car upgrade you do once and appreciate every single day. Head over to Amazon to get the Anker USB-C Car Charger, 40W 2-Port for just $14, down from its usual price of $23. That's a discount of $9 and 41% off. See at Amazon This charger keeps a low profile. The barrel sits nearly flush with the outlet, so it does not snag on pockets or bags when you reach for the console. A soft indicator light makes the port easy to find at night without lighting up the whole cabin. Two USB-C ports sit side by side and deliver fast charging for modern phones, tablets, and small gadgets. You can top up your phone while a passenger gives a tablet a lift, and nobody argues over who gets the plug. Day to day, it feels simple in the best way. Start the car and your phone begins to charge. Skip a track, check a turn, or answer a call, and the power keeps flowing. Short errands add real battery life, not just a token tick upward, which means fewer emergency hunts for a wall outlet later. The compact size also suits rental cars and carpools, so it is easy to toss in a backpack and bring along when you are not driving your own vehicle. Build quality inspires confidence. The casing feels solid in the hand, the contact points click into place with a satisfying seat, and the finish blends with most dashboards so it looks like it came with the car. Inside, Anker's safety tech minds the details by watching temperature and voltage, dialing back power if something looks off. You get the speed you want without risking a hot connector or a cranky phone. Parents will like how it quiets the back seat on long drives. Commuters can run navigation at full brightness without worrying about the end of the route. Road trippers can leave the charger in place for months, confident it will be ready whenever the next playlist starts. The Anker USB-C Car Charger, 40W 2-Port is still available for $14 at Amazon, a nice savings compared with the regular $23 price. See at Amazon
