This iPad has been around for close to three years, but its technology is still top of the line. Get it while it's on sale for its lowest price ever. It features a liquid retina display with True Tone technology that adjusts to the color temperature of the room, making viewing easy in any light. Shoppers especially love how fast it is. Its A13 bionic chip delivers powerful performance, whether you're watching movies, gaming or finally writing that term paper. Plus, it offers up to 10 hours of steady battery life.

"You can’t go wrong with a 9th Generation iPad these days," said one recent buyer. "It’s fast, smooth and has a big high-quality screen and camera. Highly recommend anybody to buy this without having to spend [thousands] on a newer generation iPad. Five out of five stars!"

"Incredible value," said another. "I purchased this model of iPad two years ago along with an Apple Pencil for digital note taking. I paid around $340 and thought it was worth it then... I've found the screen size and resolution to be more than good enough for enjoying YouTube videos, movies, manga, etc. while still being a comfortable size to take with you. It's a nice middle ground between a phone and something more substantial like a laptop or TV. As for the age of this model, I have found that the processor and storage are sufficient for my use cases. No stuttering or loading at all."

If you're looking to cut the (cable) cord, the Fire TV Stick is the state-of-the-art 4K streaming sidekick you need. Enjoy content from all of your favorite services (like Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime) with just the touch of a button. And feel free to ask Alexa for movie and TV suggestions if you aren't quite sure what to watch — the smart assistant is built right into the remote! Plus, the stick plugs right into an HDMI port in the back of your TV, so it's nice and tidy.

A fan raved, "The picture quality is STUNNING. Watching my favorite shows and movies in 4K is like experiencing them for the first time all over again. The colors are vibrant, the details are crisp, and the sound is crystal clear. I've watched some of my favorite movies and TV shows in 4K, and I'm blown away by how immersive the experience is."

Crest makes at-home teeth whitening a cinch. This pack comes with 22 treatments, with one upper and one lower strip for each session. Just peel one off, apply it over your teeth, and leave it for 30 minutes. You'll start to notice a whiter smile in as few as three days, with the full effect in about 20 days. You'll also get four treatments' worth of 1 Hour Express strips to use on days when you want speedy same-day brightness.

"I've never seen my teeth this white before!" one shocked reviewer wrote. "I've tried using other whitening pens which will sting and burn my gums. This whitening strip doesn't hurt my gums ... It's so easy to put on and remove."

Right now you can save over 50% on this bestseller, an all-in-one cleaning tool that can suck up dry debris while mopping the wet stuff. The handle has two triggers — one for vacuum suction and one for the spray mop. This deal includes two disposable pads, which can be removed by pressing a release button on the device. (No need to touch them after they're dirty!) You can replace them for just $1 a pop.

"I love this vac-mop!" said one buyer. "I was skeptical at first, not thinking it would actually work as well as everyone has said, but it does! ... It's nice to use for crumbs, hair, a spill, anything! It is very convenient. It picks up well and mops pretty good too!"

If you've been pining for a serious, do-it-all Windows laptop that won't break the bank, snap up this bestselling PC at nearly 40% off. Use it for word processing, video calling, content streaming and so much more. This model features 8GB of memory and 128GB of storage.

One happy user shared: "For the price point for this laptop, it seems to be a really nice computer. I bought it for school. So, far I really like it. The screen is big which is a plus. But it’s super light, easy to carry around. It comes with a decent amount of space. I like my purchase. Would definitely recommend!"

Keep your pearly whites clean with this rechargeable electric toothbrush. It offers two vibrating intensities and comes with a pressure sensor to tell you when you're brushing too hard, a nice fail-safe for those with sensitive teeth and gums. Another reason to smile? One charge should last you two weeks.

"My wife's dentist suggested that she try this," explained one fan. "She finally talked me into [ordering] one for myself. I must say, that my teeth have never felt as clean as they do with this product. In fact, I have become so used to having cleaner teeth, that when I have eaten, I want to brush my teeth to get back to that 'clean' feeling."

This baby launched in March 2024, and it can turn frozen food into a hot, crispy meal fast. Of course, in addition to air-frying, it can roast, reheat and dehydrate foods. And with a 5-quart basket that's big enough to roast a whole chicken or cook a 1.5-pound bag of fries, you may never turn your oven on again (OK, or at least for a while). 

"I can't believe I didn't get this a long time ago," said one home cook. "Everything comes out perfect. Make crispy chicken thighs and egg rolls. Easy to clean. No heating up the kitchen. Cooks fast. What more can I say?"

If you wake up with frizzy, dry hair and sleep lines, your standard cotton pillowcase could be the culprit. Upgrading to a silk or satin one could make your beauty sleep more beautiful. Why? Cotton absorbs moisture, while silk retains it, so when you lie on a silk or satin pillowcase, the oils from your strands and the skin care products on your face stay put rather than get soaked up. In turn, this keeps your hair and skin hydrated all night long. 

The thing is, silk pillowcases are expensive. But this satin one is a steal at just $5 on sale! One Amazon reviewer shared: "Not only is it incredibly soft and luxurious, but it has also made a noticeable difference in my hair and skin. I wake up with fewer tangles in my hair and my skin feels much smoother and hydrated. The pillowcase is also very cooling and comfortable, making it perfect for a restful night’s sleep."

These super comfy shorts are great for hot days when you just need to let your legs breathe! They have a stretchy waistband, two pockets and come in four neutral colors: black, light gray, navy and dark gray (pictured). More than 28,000 Amazon shoppers are five-star fans, with many raving about their coziness, fit and, of course, those pockets.

"These shorts are just right for my 67-year-old body — not too short," shared a happy customer. "They are loose enough to be comfortable and more appropriate than bike shorts for women over 50, or anyone who doesn’t like compression shorts."
