How to choose a cordless drill on Prime Day

Our brother site, The Manual, includes a guide to selecting the best cordless drill for you and the advice there is still worth checking even if you’re more interested in wall mounting a TV than doing woodworking or home renovation. It’s also good advice for selecting a cordless drill any time of the year, not just Prime Day. As a result, we’ll start with a quick summary:

If you want more battery-powered tools and accessories in your life than just the drill, selecting a brand and battery is just as important as selecting a drill. The deals going on for the Prime Day sales event are going to include some deals on products that include both the drill and the battery that’s required to run it, as well as the charger, which opens up “tool only” deals from the brand.

If you’re just after a drill, make sure the drill has a battery and charger with it unless you already have those. Check the drill’s size and capabilities. Smaller drills are good for getting in smaller places while bigger drills will have a bit more driving power to them in at least some cases.

Overall, cordless drill and battery combos on Prime Day will likely be priced in an alluring manner. You get someone the battery and they’re a customer for life. If you keep this in mind, Prime Day cordless drill shopping should be no problem at all.

How we chose these cordless drill Prime Day deals

It’s no secret that robot vacuums have gotten pretty pricey as of late. Now, there are multiple models that are over $1,000, with some that are getting close to that $2,000 mark. The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is one of those. But in my opinion, it is worth the price, because of everything it can do for you. And we even awarded it the Best Robot Vacuum of 2023.

Amazon has just dropped the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra below that $1,000 mark, making it only $899 right now. That is going to save you $700 off of its regular price. That is $200 lower than it was on Prime Day earlier this year, making this an all-time lowest price.

I reviewed the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra and have used it for the last eight months. For someone who reviews robot vacuums (I’ve reviewed around 10 of them this year), that is a massive feat. It’s the robot vacuum I keep going back to because it is just so good at everything it does. Starting off with the actual vacuum, it boasts 6,000Pa suction, which is industry-leading right now. Only one robot vacuum can beat it. This is going to get all of the dirt, dust, hair, and other debris off of your floor, even those that you don’t see.

Roborock has included a dual rubber roller brush on the bottom of the vacuum which is really good for getting close to the floor to clean, but also great at not getting tangled in hair. It pushes the hair to the end of the brush, making it easy to remove and throw away.

It does a fantastic job of cleaning up behind my dog, who seems to be shedding for some reason constantly. With the Roborock app, I’ve been able to schedule this robot vacuum to clean every day, and my home has never been cleaner.

We can’t forget about the dock; that’s what really sets this robot vacuum apart from the competition. So it’s a pretty large dock with three receptacles included. On the left side, you’ll find the clean water that is used to refill the water reservoir on the S8 Pro, as well as cleaning the mopping pad. In the middle is the dirty water from cleaning that mopping pad. And finally, on the right is the dustbag from emptying the dustbin. So as you can see, it does really automate cleaning quite a bit.

Roborock also supports using soap in the water reservoir now; you can pick up a bottle from Amazon that is certified for Roborock robot vacuums. It’s a tad bit expensive, but it will last you a long time. This bottle has lasted me about two years so far, though it is being used in a home that is about 85% carpet. So that helps.

Buy at Amazon

If you’re ready to upgrade from your phone’s tiny speakers, or if you’re done struggling to pick out the dialogue in TV shows, now is probably a good time to scoop up a or a . We’ve reviewed dozens of models and brands over the years and have made our recommendations in our buying guides. We also recommend more than a few smart speakers, which you can check out if you’re ready to bring an AI assistant to your countertop.

Now that is here, many of the speakers from our lists are on sale, making it a great time to get a deal. Check out below for the best Prime Day speaker deals we could find.

Best October Prime Day Bluetooth speaker deals

There’s a portable speaker for just about every situation in our guide to Bluetooth speakers. Whether you just want some tunes as you horbgorble around at home or need to entertain some coworkers at a music dance experience, there’s something for you here — and best of all, these are on sale.

• : This sub-two-pound sound-maker delivers a bright, punchy output from 30-watt speakers. We found it to have a crisp high end and fairly thumpy bass when it has walls to bounce the sound off of. Plus it’s waterproof and goes for 13 hours on a charge. This Prime-members-only price matches its all-time low.

• : This little guy comes in at just over two pounds and has a bright and bassy output. It can play songs for around 12 hours on a charge and we particularly appreciate the solid build with its metal grille. This Prime-exclusive deal matches the lowest price yet.

• Tribit StormBox Micro 2 for $48 ($32 off): This is the smallest music box on our list, and we like it because it packs serious sound for its size. The audio isn’t the highest fidelity, but the rubbery strap is perfect for strapping onto a pack, bike handlebar or elsewhere.

• JBL Flip 6 for $80 ($50 off): After reading our guide, this is the speaker I bought, and I can confirm this crowler-sized device has great sound quality, is durable as heck and I love that it sounds great on its side or stood on end.

• Marshall Emberton II for $100 ($70 off): This clutchable model has two 10-watt drivers and passive radiators for 360-degree sound. While it’s not super loud, we found the output to be nicely balanced. You’ll get up to 30 hours of play on a charge and it has a IP67 water- and dust-resistance rating.

• Marshall Middleton for $250 ($50 off): This is the flagship in Marshall’s waterproof/portable line. We like the top-notch sound quality and impressive output from the dual woofers, tweeters for the front and back, and passive radiators along each side.

• Ultimate Ears Hyperboom for $320 ($130 off): At 13 pounds, this UE speaker pushes the boundaries of portable, verging into shelf speaker territory. It made the cut in our guide thanks to its good looks, loud output and ample port options. It’ll play for 24 hours on a charge, too.

Best October Prime Day smart speaker deals

I never thought I’d own a smart speaker, but now I ask Alexa for everything — turn on the smart lights, set a noodle timer, remind me about Saturday’s group FaceTime and, most importantly, tell me the weather today. It’s always a good idea to get these devices on sale, so take advantage of these Prime Day prices while you can.

• : The Sonos Era 100 is our pick for the smart speaker. The sound quality is excellent, it pairs well with other Sonos devices and there are plenty of useful features — which should only improve once Sonos resolves all of its .

• Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen) for $23 ($27 off): The Dot is the most popular model in Amazon’s smart speaker family. Though it’s small, it puts out decent volume and music sounds pretty good from its speakers. But where it really shines is acting as your daily smart home assistant.

• Amazon Echo (4th Gen) for $50 ($50 off):The full-sized model is probably a better option if you plan to use your Echo as a music source regularly — not surprisingly, its bigger size makes for bigger sound, plus you can pair two together. It’s our recommendation for a smart speaker under $100.

• Amazon Echo Spot (2nd gen) for $45 ($35 off): The half-a-softball Spot with its tiny display went away for a time, but came back with a new look and a half-moon screen that can display the time, weather and the song that’s playing.

• Amazon Echo Pop for $18 ($22 off): The tiniest Echo device is best suited to a small space where it would be helpful to have Alexa’s assistance. It’s not built for high fidelity music playing, but will bop out a song as you get ready or make some dinner.

Best October Prime Day soundbar deals

It’s not just you. The dialogue in TV shows is getting tougher to suss out. In my house, a soundbar has made a world of difference. Of course, these long speakers and sets also make movies more immersive. Engadget’s Billy Steele tested out a bunch, putting his favorites in our soundbar guide and, in good news for anyone ready to turn off the subtitles, Prime Day deals extend to a few winning models.

• Sonos Beam for $399 ($100 off): The Sonos Beam is our favorite midrange soundbar. It has solid sound quality, support for Dolby Atmos and is easy to set up. Just note that it only has one HDMI port, so you can’t hook up a console directly to the speaker.

• Sonos Ray for $169 ($110 off): This is the lowest price we’ve seen yet for this recommended soundbar, at over $100 off. We like the Sonos Ray because it’s an affordable option that puts out excellent sound in a compact bar with easy setup.
