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

Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus With Built-In Subwoofer Hits All-Time Low, It Might As Well Be a Gift
Movie night feels flat when dialogue whispers and explosions land with a polite thud. The Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus, the newest model in the lineup, takes the thin audio that leaks from a television and trades it for room‑filling sound you can feel in the couch cushions. Slide the sleek bar under almost any screen, connect a single cable, and suddenly Friday's superhero premiere or Sunday football chatter arrives with theater‑style punch. Head over to Amazon to get the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus for just $180, down from its usual price of $250. That's a discount of $70 and 28% off. See at Amazon Setup could not be easier. Plug the HDMI eARC cable into the back of the TV, power the bar with the included adapter, and the Fire TV interface detects it in seconds. If your television includes Alexa, you can say, 'Alexa, pair my soundbar,' and watch the connection finish itself while you unwrap popcorn. The same Alexa voice control lets you adjust volume, check weather, or dim smart lights without lifting the remote later on. Inside, a six‑driver array spreads sound across the room, while Dolby Atmos processing lifts effects above and beside the seating area. Helicopters seem to hover overhead, crowd noise rolls in from the sidelines, and dialogue gains clarity even at lower volumes. A dedicated center channel handles speech, so you can stop riding the remote during quiet conversations followed by sudden action. Bass ports on each end of the cabinet add low‑end thump without needing a separate sub, handy for apartments where space and neighbor patience both run short. The compact chassis measures under two and a half inches tall, sliding under most TV stands without blocking the screen. If wall mounting fits your setup, two keyhole slots on the back make hanging simple with a pair of screws. A brushed charcoal finish resists fingerprints, and a thin LED strip lights up briefly for status updates before fading back to black, so the bar stays invisible during dark scenes. Connectivity goes beyond HDMI. Bluetooth 5.3 streams playlists from phones or tablets, turning the living room into a quick dance floor. An optical input waits for older sets, and a USB port provides service updates down the road. The included remote doubles as a Fire TV controller, trimming device clutter on the coffee table. The Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus is still available for $180 at Amazon, a straightforward way to give any television a serious audio upgrade compared with its regular $250 price. See at Amazon

Amazon Prime customers warned over clever new email scam
Around the world, 200 million people rely on Amazon Prime for faster deliveries, and they are the latest target for cybercriminals. In a message sent to Prime subscribers this month, Amazon has warned that scammers are targeting Prime members with fake emails supposedly from Amazon, claiming that their Prime subscription fee is about to change. An Amazon spokesperson said, 'We are diligently working to help educate consumers to avoid impersonation scams, ensure consumers know it's us, and ensure scammers are held accountable. 'Amazon regularly educates our hundreds of millions of customers about scam prevention best practices to keep them safe from scams.' What do the Amazon scam emails say? The emails suggest that the customer's Amazon Prime subscription will soon auto-renew at a higher price, and offer a way to cancel the subscription. Some of the emails include other personal information in an effort to look more convincing, with the information obtained from other sources such as online leaks, according to cybersecurity company Malwarebytes. The emails offer a 'cancel subscription' button which takes users to a fake Amazon page that then harvests their email and password. Criminals are then able to log in to Amazon accounts or log in to other accounts that share the same email and password combination. What should users do? If you receive an email from Amazon and you use Gmail, Yahoo or other popular email providers, a smile icon next to the address (where a picture would normally show) will show it really comes from Amazon. If that icon is not present, you should be suspicious. Malwarebytes advises, 'If you receive an email like this, don't click on any links. Not sure if a message is from Amazon or not? You can check by going to the Message Centre under Your Account. Legitimate messages from Amazon will appear there. Malwarebytes advises users to report the scam every time, even if they did not fall for it, to keep other users safe. Malwarebytes says, 'Set up two-step verification for your Amazon account. This puts an extra barrier between you and the scammers if they do manage to get hold of your login details. 'Lastly, if you've fallen for this or a similar scam, change your Amazon password and anywhere else you use that password. Also, make sure to monitor your card statements for any unfamiliar charges, and contact your bank immediately if you see anything suspicious.' How can you stay safe from impersonation scams? Amazon offers in-depth tips on how to stay safe on Amazon impersonation scams, with tips here. Amazon warns to be suspicious of any emails with a sense of urgency (ie you have to do something within a certain time span). Any email which urges users to buy Amazon gift cards is also suspicious (Amazon gift cards are a 'currency' used by cybercriminals). Amazon says, 'Our obsession with customers motivates our commitment to ensuring scammers are not using our brand to take advantage of people who trust us. We encourage consumers to report suspected scams to us at so that we can protect their accounts and refer bad actors to law enforcement to help keep consumers safe.'

Amazon announces two new Kindle Colorsoft models — here's how much they'll cost
Amazon just announced two new versions of the Kindle Colorsoft — a more affordable 16GB version at $249, and a Kids edition to bring that color e-ink display tech to a child-friendly device. The current Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition retains its $279 asking price and has features like auto-adjusting front light, wireless charging, and 32 GB storage. And just like Amazon's other Kids edition options, the younger Colorsoft comes bundled with a kid-friendly cover, a year of Amazon Kids+, parental controls and a two-year warranty. The aforementioned cover comes in two colors: Fantasy River or Starlight Reading. This reader will also have learning features such as the OpenDyslexic font and Bluetooth connectivity to listen to audiobooks with a pair of the best wireless headsets. Naturally, there will be parental controls via the Amazon Parent Dashboard. I reviewed the Kindle Colorsoft when it launched last year, and it has been my main Kindle ever since. Despite being a fan of this device, it has been difficult to recommend because of its steep asking price. While $249 is still expensive compared to a $159 Kindle Paperwhite or an even cheaper $109 base Kindle, the $30 discounted price is at least more palatable. The Kindle Colorsoft Kids announcement isn't exactly surprising, but it's a nice option for parents who want to get their kids a Colorsoft. The $269 asking price is a bit steep, but you at least get a year of Amazon Kids+. That service offers a range of age-appropriate content like books, movies, educational apps and games, which could be well worth it for parents. The bundled cover is also a great bonus—and a necessary accessory for keeping the tablet safe. The 16GB Kindle Colorsoft and Kindle Colorsoft Kids are available now on Amazon. If their respective prices are a tad steep, I'm sure we'll see price reductions during the next Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday. As always, we'll keep you posted!
