These stylish buds were WIRED’s previous top pick. Still great. Still cancel noise. Quite cheap right now. Battery life is mid, tho.

The Best Personal Blender for $100 ($30 off)

Nutribullet

Ultra Personal Blender

When someone thinks they want a portable blender, they probably actually want this—the best personal blender on the market. This 1,200-watt Nutribullet Ultra is the best daily driver I know for smoothies, protein shakes, and pestos or salsas. It’s easily cleaned and utterly stashable so it doesn’t take up counter space. When you’re done blending, put the lid on the blending jug and it’s now a drink cup that’ll fit in most car cup holders. When it’s under $100 like it is now, it’s the best under $100 blender I know.

A Terrific Air Fryer for $100 ($60 off)

Instant Pot

Vortex Plus Air Fryer Oven

Hi, this is my favorite basket air fryer. It’s nearly 40 percent off, and a penny shy of a hundred bucks. In a world where most basket air fryers careen wildly off-temp, this one keeps temperature better than some thermometers. It crisps wings and fries without blasting the soul out of them. It’s the one I recommend to most people who want a great air fryer but don’t want to spend a lot, and this is its best price of the year so far. (If you only want the best of the best of the best, the Typhur Dome 2 is more expensive but is also on a terrific Prime Day deal.)

A Handy Little Vacuum for $75 ($35 off)

Dustbuster Flex

In most cases, a vacuum under $100 probably isn’t worth your time. But this little hand vacuum usually retails for $110, and it’s even cheaper right now. It’s a favorite of ours for vacuuming cars, thanks to the long hose and handle. Regardless of what you’re cleaning, it’s easy to move around and vacuum all kinds of crevices or deep trunks. There’s also a nice charging stand that holds the vacuum’s attachments and will keep it charged, which you’ll want since this vacuum only holds a 15 minute charge (unfortunately normal for small vacuums like this).

A Powerful Mini Speaker for $65 ($35 off)

Amazon’s Echo Dot Max takes the small body of the popular Echo Dot speakers and makes it so much better. It’s more powerful, it has better sound, a built-in smart home hub, and a design intended for its updated assistant, Alexa+. (We’ve got mixed feelings on how good that assistant is, but it’s free if you’re a Prime user.) But $100 is a bit pricey for such a small speaker, even if the sound is almost as room-filling as the larger Echo Studio. It’s nearly half off for Prime Day, though, so it’s a great time to shop.

A Powerful Streaming Box for $75 ($25 off)

Google has upgraded from the old Chromecast dongles you used to plug into a TV. Now we have the Google TV Streamer. This sleek little box disappears nicely next to any TV console table, and gives any TV a new streaming interface powered by Google. It’s much more powerful than the Chromecasts of past, and comes with Dolby Vision support, Thread router features that let it work as a smart home hub, and a great voice search.
