The best deals on tech, appliances, clothing and e-bikes to buy before tariffs take effect
The newest round of tariffs is beginning to go into effect, and we just won't know how significantly they will alter pricing. Luckily, they only apply to products imported into the country starting now, so there's no need to panic buy. Anything already on store shelves or in domestic warehouses shouldn't be seeing a price hike just yet. But with savings in mind, now is the perfect time to buy any major purchase you've been considering. Getting ahead of the curve doesn't mean you have to pay full price either. The deals experts at Underscored have been helping people save money for nearly a decade — through all sorts of economic circumstances. Senior deals editor Rikka Altland helped shoppers make sense of shortages and price increases back during the Covid-19 pandemic and is tapping into those same skills to help you save now that many shoppers are asking how tariffs even work. As the tariffs situation evolves over the coming days and weeks, we'll be updating this post. Deal pricing is always subject to change, but that's even more so at present. The MSRP of everything from appliances and electronics to clothing and e-bikes is expected to change over the coming months. For some brands, that could be as soon as April 11, while others will keep pricing consistent as long as stock remains in American warehouses. Until then, we're rounding up all the best deals, below. While companies like Apple are investing significantly in manufacturing products here in the United States, it'll be quite some time before those efforts have an impact on the supply chain. In the meantime, we're expecting price increases sooner than later, and that means everything from iPhones and AirPods to laptops, tablets and televisions will be subject to tariff pricing adjustments. Ahead of time, Altland has found some of her favorite deals on bigger ticket tech items that will last you through the next few years. If you're due for a smartphone upgrade, now might just be the perfect time to save. That sentiment goes for laptops and televisions, as well. Many of our best-tested electronic picks are on sale and detailed down below. SmartphonesGoogle Pixel 9 Smartphone The Pixel 9 is the Android maker's latest base-model smartphone, and it's $150 off. Google follows the rest of the smartphone industry by manufacturing its devices primarily in China and Vietnam, both of which are being hit with steep tariffs. Read our review Apple iPhone 14 While the new iPhones are projected to hit record-high prices when they drop in September, this 2022 model is just as dependable and affordable as ever. Our editors circled back on this older handset at the beginning of the year to determine that the iPhone 14 is a good budget pick for folks who don't mind sticking to Lightning. Read our review Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 512GB Smartphone in Silver Shadow Samsung also manufactures its smartphones in Vietnam, meaning this state-of-the-art Samsung Z Fold 6 is slated to go up in price once domestic stock runs out. Amazon and Samsung are taking up to $300 off the usual price tag with these rare our review LaptopsApple 13-Inch MacBook Air M3 in Starlight This $300 discount couldn't have come at a better time. Stock on last year's MacBook Airs won't last long, and tariffs will only mean that the newer models get even more expensive. This model comes with 16GB of memory and double the storage of the comparable M4 model. Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 Microsoft's latest portable machine earned our praise when we tested out all of the best laptops. China and Vietnam are the primary producers of Surface laptops, meaning tariffs will raise the $1,000 MSRP once local stock runs out. At least you can save $200 ahead of time. Read our review Apple 14-Inch MacBook Pro M4 Pro This is an upgraded version of the laptop Altland uses every single day. The 14-inch MacBook Pro is now $200 off and features the latest chip from Apple that adds extra performance to the company's more baseline counterparts. Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024) Back during the pandemic, gaming machines were one of the first casualties of stock shortages. Tariffs might have the same effect, but the ROG Zephyrus G14 is $400 off ahead of time. We loved its AMD Ryzen 9 processor, Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU and OLED screen. Read our review Headphones and earbudsApple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C If you still haven't upgraded to Apple's beloved AirPods Pro 2, now is your chance to at a discount. We can see these earbuds being one of the first pairs to run out of domestic stock, meaning the $199 sale price might not last for long. Read our review Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Earbuds Knock $70 off these Underscored-vetted earbuds that'll have you breezing through your workout or your morning commute. Today's offer is within $10 of the best price in 2025 so our review Apple AirPods Max with USB-C Just like its true wireless counterparts, AirPods Max are some of the more popular headphones. Altland adores her pair, and today's $49 discount certainly helps justify buying before prices could rise. Read our review EarFun Air 2 Tariffs will also apply to more budget-friendly buys. These earbuds were our favorites for anyone on a budget, and offer 40 hours of playback on a single charge alongside multipoint Bluetooth. Just make sure to clip the on-page coupon to our review TelevisionsSamsung 55-Inch The Frame TV Samsung makes many of its home products in Mexico these days, which means that All-Star TVs like its The Frame series will still get hit with some tariffs. This 55-inch version is $300 off ahead of time and stands out from other televisions with a design that doubles as a digital picture frame. Hisense 55-Inch U8N Mini-LED Smart Google TV Hisense's U8N is an excellent midrange TV, and now it's on sale for $100 off. The company manufactures its televisions in China, which means that stock shortages in domestic warehouses will result in price increases due to the 34% tariff. Read our review Sony Bravia 55-Inch XR A95L Smart Google TV If price is no object, no TV delivers a more impressive viewing experience than the A95L. The $300 discount on this TV should hold you well past the effects of any tariff that is leveraged against Sony and its manufacturing plants over in our review Tariffs are also targeting appliances, hitting many of the major brands like Samsung, LG and Dyson, which could see production costs jump — leading to price hikes on things like fridges, washers and dryers, and ovens. If you've been pondering a new home appliance, now might be the time to buy before prices climb. These more expensive appliances are slated to be some of the bigger offenders of price hikes once tariffs start altering the domestic supply chain. Taking advantage of these deals now might lead to substantial savings compared to waiting a few months. RefrigeratorsLG Smart Mirror InstaView Counter-Depth Max French Door Refrigerator Equipped with all the latest bells and whistles — like French doors, a built-in water dispenser, dual ice makers and more — this smart fridge is the total package. LG has factories scattered around China and Vietnam, with a hub in South Korea, so we predict that large appliances from the brand will increase in price. Read our review Samsung Bespoke 3-Door French Door Refrigerator If you love to keep your kitchen looking immaculate, look no further than this Samsung Bespoke fridge to really up the ante on your home's aesthetics. It comes in a wealth of colors and finishes. The brand has a host of production factories across the world, including South Korea, Mexico and China. While we can't predict how much Samsung fridges will go up in price, we're happy to see this top-tested one discounted by hundreds. Read our review GE Stainless Steel French Door Refrigerator Nearly $1,000 off, this GE refrigerator is a notable kitchen enhancement with a modern stainless steel exterior and water filter, crushed ice dispenser and ample interior storage. If you're looking to buy from a brand that manufactures in America, this is it. Some stages of production occur outside of the country, which may still mean tariffs affect pricing on GE's refrigerators in the future. Washers and dryersSamsung Bespoke High-Efficiency Stackable Steam Cycle Smart Front-Load Washer Consider all your laundry pet peeves gone. With easy controls and speedy cleaning time, the Samsung Bespoke Washer and Dryer impressed our experts. Take $385 off the expert-tested pick before the giant's appliances potentially fluctuate in price. Read our review LG WashCombo Ventless Washer and Dryer Tight on space? This LG WashCombo does the work of two appliances in one. Per the brand, it can clean and dry loads in as little as two hours. It's a whopping $1,050 off, making it a great investment ahead of any price jumps from LG in the coming months. GE Profile High-Efficiency Stackable Smart Front Load Washer Save hundreds on a sleek washer from the popular appliance brand GE. While headquartered in the United States, GE operates on a global scale, with some of its parts sourced from other countries. VacuumsiRobot Roomba i5 Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo Largely manufactured in Malaysia and China, iRobot may see some price jumps. The brand makes some top-of-the-line robot mops and vacuums, and since it's already a pricey buy, we recommend snagging discounts while you can. Shark NV151 Navigator Swivel Pro Complete Upright Vacuum An upright vacuum typically offer great cleaning power and store away more easily than canister vacuums. Score this model from our best-tested brand while it's marked down. Shark primarily manufactures its vacuums in China, making it susceptible to tariffs. Bissell Little Green HydroSteam Multi-Purpose Portable Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner While Bissell has headquarters in Michigan, it sources its production from China. Now that Amazon has coveted products like the brand's Little Green HydroSteam on discount, it's the perfect time to take advantage. Dyson V11 Origin Cordless Vacuum Cleaner in Nickel/Blue Dyson vacuums and appliances are manufactured in Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines. Given how expensive the brand's innovative products are already at retail, we'll be trying to save as many pennies as we can. That includes this stick model, which is $100 off. A new season isn't the only thing shaking up your wardrobe. Tariffs on clothing imports —especially from China, Vietnam and Bangladesh — are set to bump the prices on your next pair of jeans or sneakers. Think name brands like Nike, Levi's and H&M that source their clothing manufacturing from these countries. Brands might shift suppliers, but in the short term, expect pricier shopping trips. Here are some sales that deals editor Jacqueline Saguin is eyeing. Nike Dunk Low Retro Sneakers Expect to see footwear brands like Nike, Adidas, New Balance and Reebok (manufactured in countries like Vietnam, China and Indonesia) to be impacted by tariffs. Athletic and fashion styes are marked down at Nike now. Gap CashSoft Cropped Tank Top Readers and editors alike love to shop at Gap. It's filled with great quality basics. Vietnam is the country's biggest supplier, so we're jumping on fashion sales at Gap as well as the retailer's sister brands, Old Navy, Banana Republic and Athleta. Levi's 501 Original Fit Women's Jeans A go-to for long-lasting denim, Levi's is marking 30% off select styles. It's a noteworthy sale, considering that the brand's supply trickles out mostly from Vietnam, Indonesia and China. Patagonia Houdini Jacket Get ahead of spring showers with Patagonia's reliable outdoor wear, like this expert-favorite rain jacket. Patagonia, while based in California, outsources a significant portion of its manufacturing to factories in countries like Vietnam and China. Read our review E-bikes might not be the first purchases to come to mind for price hikes, but quite a few of our favorite brands have already announced that prices will increase. Aventon and Velotric, makers of best-tested electric vehicles, will raise prices in accordance with tariffs starting as soon as April 11. In the meantime, there are plenty of chances to save. Aventon Abound E-Bike When our colleagues tested the best e-bikes, the Aventon Abound came out on top as a favorite for hauling cargo. It just became an even better buy at $400 off because our tester loved its expansive cargo space, beefy motor and battery for providing a smooth ride. Aventon is slated to raise prices on April 11 and has extended its spring sale to give shoppers extra time to our review Velotric T1 ST Plus E-bike At the start of the year, Velotric's T1 topped our list of the best e-bikes. The company no longer sells that model, but the upgraded version carries over most of what we loved into an improved ride. Prices are slated to increase on April 15, and ahead of time, you can save $250. Rad Power RadExpand 5 E-bike As the former editor of a green energy deals column, Altland has tried quite a few e-bikes for herself. This folding model from Rad Power is a favorite of hers, as it's great for apartment dwellers and anyone else who doesn't have space to store a full e-bike when not in use. Rad Power has yet to officially announce increased pricing, but the company made a similar adjustment the last time tariffs were in play. Tern HSD P10 Gen 2 E-Bike When we tested the best e-bikes, Tern won us over with its folding electric bike. This discount applies to the Upgraded version of that winner, offering even better features for those who don't mind shelling out extra cash. We said the original model was well worth the extra money over some of its cheaper competitors, and are included to agree with its newer counterpart. Altland and Saguin took a different approach to hunting down these deals. Normally, we're searching through thousands of deals in savings events or shopping the clearance sections from major retailers to find the best ways to save. For this story, our editors cross-referenced our best-tested guides to find deals on Underscored's favorite products. We also looked at tariffs and their potential impacts into consideration, highlighting discounts on gear that may be most affected by the trade war. The deals editors at Underscored look out for your wallet daily, scouring sales every morning. We tap a range of techniques and consider a variety of factors to determine whether a deal is worthy of coverage, such as price history checks, available coupon codes and competitor pricing. Our team, consisting of senior editor Rikka Altland, editor Jacqueline Saguin and associate editor Elena Matarazzo, is passionate about unearthing deals that we would be tempted to shop, and enjoy finding a great deal on a coveted item (especially one that's top-tested by our experts) because it means that we're helping our readers make savvy buying decisions.

Our editors' favorite iPad just fell to its best price yet at nearly $100 off
Apple recently refreshed its lineup of iPads with its most capable models yet, but not everyone needs a high-end tablet — and that's exactly where today's price cut on the 10th-generation iPad comes into play. Available at Amazon and Best Buy in two storage configurations, some of the best prices ever are live for up to 30% off. Apple iPad (10th Gen) 256GB in Silver This 10th-gen iPad deal is so good that I don't expect it to be around for long. This is a new all-time low price on the upgraded version of this best tested Apple tablet that includes 256GB of storage. Read our review Apple iPad (10th Gen) 64GB Opt for the more affordable version of Apple's latest budget-friendly iPad. This model comes with 64GB of storage and is returning to its spring Prime Day price. It isn't an all-time low, but this is still a solid deal on one of the most recent and best tablets around. Read our review For those who don't need the newest iPad Air or even the more professional iPad Pro, the 10th-generation iPad is an easy recommendation. Apple cut its $449 retail price down to $349 last spring. We followed up that price adjustment by revisiting our tablet review, noting that 'the 10th-generation iPad finally feels right at $349.' Today's sales made us double down on that sentiment, offering better values on the affordable tablet. Apple backs this electronics deal in all four aluminum cases. You'll also find a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina Display and an A14 chip powering the experience, which is plenty capable of handling all kinds of work tasks, taking notes and gaming. The tablet charges via USB-C and works with an Apple Pencil and a Magic Keyboard accessory to elevate your productivity with the 10th-generation iPad. It's rare to see a $100 discount appear on any of Apple's iPads, especially those on the more affordable side. But just because you're looking for a bargain doesn't mean you'll have to skimp out on features. Today's offer on the elevated 256GB version gives you ample storage to ensure this iPad can get you plenty of use well into the future. Other options include the entry-level 64GB version of the 10th-generation iPad. It's a great value at $279 and sits within $29 of the all-time low price from several months ago. Our senior deals editor, Rikka Altland, spotted the price drop this morning while searching for the best finds of the week. She has worked in service journalism for nearly a decade and is an expert at deal hunting and price-history analysis.

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is less than a week away. The retailer's first massive savings event in 2025 will usher in the best prices of the year across nearly anything and everything it sells. But you don't have to wait to save: I've been covering Amazon's Prime Day sales since the beginning and know more than a thing or two about cashing in on the best offers. Below, I've rounded up my favorite 25 early deals on all things outdoors. That includes electric lawn mowers that the Altland family has relied on for years, weatherproof furniture to give your patio a makeover, cookout ready grills, tailgating essentials for baseball season and much more. Ego Power+ LM2135SP 56-Volt 21-Inch Cordless Electric Lawn Mower This Ego Power+ tool is not only the best electric lawn mower we tested, but it's also at its best deal of the year to ensure your yard looks its best at the start of spring. Equipped with either of its two included batteries, it packs plenty of power to mow your lawn on a single our review Greenworks 48V Outdoor Electric Tool Bundle Greenworks has been my go-to brand for electric outdoor tools, and this bundle includes all the essentials. There's a 48V lawn mower, string trimmer and leaf blower — each of which runs on the two included batteries. Ego Power+ ST1623T 56-Volt 16-Inch Cordless String Trimmer Kit Save 35% on this electric string trimmer kit just in time for spring. It stands out from the competition thanks to Ego's PowerLoad tech that monitors and feeds the length of the line for a continuous 16-inch cutting swath. This trimmer also comes with 4.0Ah and 2.5Ah batteries that work with the rest of Ego's outdoor electric tools. Greenworks 1800 PSI Electric Pressure Washer Clean off all of the winter grime and dirt with this electric pressure washer. Its portable design makes it easy to tout around your entire property, cleaning everything from patios to siding and more at $35 off the usual price. Ego Power+ LB7654 56-Volt 765 CFM Cordless Electric Leaf Blower This $179 discount applies to an upgraded version of our pick for the best electric leaf blower. Whether you need an extra hand cleaning up the winter mess or just looking ahead to ditching the rake in fall, today's discount makes it worth snatching up before the Big Spring Sale.

Serwall Folding Adirondack Chair This folding Adirondack chair just landed at its best price of the year on Amazon. Tons of different colors are on sale for up to $48, allowing you to mix and match your new patio chair with your home's exterior. Weber Genesis E-435 Liquid Propane Gas Grill, Black While we're talking about patio upgrades, you certainly are going to need a grill. If you're looking to step up to one that will last for years, thousands of shoppers love this Weber model, and it just received a $300 discount at Amazon. Sophia & William 4-Burner Propane Gas Grill Taste the meat and not the heat by taking up to $150 off this 4-burner propane grill at its best price of the year on Amazon. The 545-square-inch cooking area has plenty of room for grilling up weekday meals or a massive assortment of burgers and dogs during cookouts. A few colors are on sale too! ThermoPro Lightning 1-Second Instant-Read Meat Thermometer Ensure your steaks come out as planned by using this instant-ready meat thermometer. The quick readout feature ensures you can spend less time hovering over the grill and more time sipping brews and hanging with friends. Weber Master-Touch 22-Inch Charcoal Grill This classic charcoal Weber is a notable option for any grill masters who don't want to break the bank. It starts from $275 and comes in a few colors. Traeger Grills BBQ Grilling Tongs Even if you don't need a new grill, buying a fresh set of tongs couldn't hurt. This pair from Traeger has a stainless steel construction that includes a locking mechanism for collapsing down when not in use. Yeti Roadie 48 Wheeled Cooler in Cosmic Lilac Yeti makes some of our favorite coolers at Underscored. So, when I saw that the Roadie 48 complete with this wheeled design and telescoping handle went on sale, I had to share. The spring-ready lilac color matches its best price ever at $80 off. Read our review Coleman 8-Person Evanston Tent With Screen Room If the first day of spring has you planning the first camping trip of the year, let this discounted Coleman tent tag along at its all-time low price on Amazon. RTIC 40-Can Ultra-Tough Soft Cooler RTIC may have just dropped its latest hard-sided cooler, but I'm also turning my attention back to this discounted soft-shell model. It's perfect for bringing to tailgates with room for up to 40 cans and plenty of ice. Weber Traveler Portable Gas Grill This portable Weber grill is perfect for upgrading your tailgating setup. It has a collapsing design and is small enough to fit in your trunk on the way to the stadium and while you're enjoying the game. Save nearly $70 with its first discount of the year. Coleman Outdoor Compact Folding Table Perfect for camping or tailgating, this folding table from Coleman can give you a cooking surface in seconds. It's also seeing a rare 20% discount before Amazon's Big Spring sale. EcoFlow River 2 Pro Solar Generator Our pick for the best small-capacity solar generator just dropped to its lowest price of the year. Ecoflow River 2 Pro is 40% off at Amazon and delivers a sizable battery perfect for keeping emergency power on hand or charging gear at the campsite. Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station Jackery may not have cut our list of the best power stations, but its Explorer 1000 v2 is worth a closer look. This unit has kept my laptop running through prolonged power outages, and today's discount saves you $350 to match the all-time low price. Ecoflow Delta 2 Power Station The Ecoflow Delta 2 is our favorite medium-capacity solar generator. If you need more juice than the River 2 Pro I noted above, then this is a better bang for your buck. Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 Portable Power Station At 37% off, Jackey's upgraded portable power station is an easy recommendation. It stands apart from Ecoflow models in the Big Spring Sale with its LiFePO4 battery tech rated to last longer than the lithium iron phosphate circuits in our best-tested picks. Ecoflow Delta Pro Power Station If you're reading this, you've skipped the River 2 Pro and Delta 2, meaning you must need even more power. Our pick for the best high-capacity solar generator has your back as does Amazon with this 36% markdown. Deals and tech may be my main passions, but I've also been writing about the green energy space for years. Items like electric lawn tools and portable power stations are more relevant than ever now that spring is officially here. That makes today's deals even more enticing. I've also been writing about deals since Amazon first announced its in-house Prime Day sales. So, I know a thing or two about how to take full advantage of these savings events. The deals team at Underscored was prepping for next week's Big Spring Sale and was surprised by how good the deals are now, both in terms of quality and quantity of the discounts. You can save on just about everything ahead of time, helping you beat the rush and cash in on the savings before the clock starts ticking down.
