Best outdoor power equipment deal
Why we like it
The 16-inch cordless electric chainsaw from Greenworks is a tough deal to beat right now at Amazon. It’s down to $219.99 from $349.99, the lowest it’s been all year. Despite being battery-powered, it delivers the power of a 50CC gas engine and a speedy 25 m/s chain-cutting speed, efficiently slicing through limbs and logs. It’s an ideal pick for homeowners looking to tackle yard projects or storm clean-up on their own without a big learning curve.

Why we like it
Grabbing an air purifier isn’t a bad idea in 2026, considering the quality of the air outside lately. This smart purifier from Govee features three-stage filtration that removes particles like hair, lint, and dust, as well as smoke, VOCs, and harmful gases. Its built-in sensor will alert you to the quality of air in your home and automatically turn on when the levels drop. It’s usually $129.99, but with the current discount and extra savings for Prime members, it’s just $80.99. That’s a total of 38% in savings, and its best price all year.
