Our top pick
$1,599.99 Save $600.00
Released last April, the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is a very expensive, very high-tech robot vacuum and mop combo device. When former Mashable intern Stacia Datskovska tested it out, she found that the fancy functions like self-drying, self-washing, and customization by floor type were "hella cool," but overall it didn't live up to its extreme price tag of $1,599.99. Fortunately, though, it regularly goes on sale. Just last week, it dropped to $1,399.99, making it $200 more affordable. As of April 24, however, the S8 Pro Ultra is back down to its all-time low price of $999.99, making it a full $600 or 38% cheaper.
There's no need to compromise performance for a low price tag when buying a beginner gaming monitor. You can get the best of both worlds with this deal on the ASUS VG248QG. As Mashable contributor Nicole Bonaccorso noted in her gaming monitor roundup, "You don’t need to spend a fortune on a monitor to have a great gaming experience." An upgraded version of the VG245H (which is featured as our top budget pick), the VG248QG has a better refresh rate, making the gaming experience even more seamless. However, like Bonaccorso noted, it is lacking in the resolution department, so "anyone working with high-end GPUs may be disappointed." As of April 24, it's on sale for just $149 — down from an already affordable $189. That's 21% in savings and matches its previous all-time low price.
If you're sick of switching between apps when streaming, the Chromecast with Google TV can make your viewing experience more enjoyable. In his review, Mashable's Alex Perry called it "an affordable top-tier streaming device," noting that it "fixes some of the biggest problems with prior Chromecasts by adding a remote control and a new user interface." It's easy to set up; just plug it into an outlet and into the HDMI port on your TV, put batteries into the remote, and get the Google Home app. Voila — your movies, shows, and live TV are all in one place in up to 1080p HDR. As of April 24, it's on sale for only $19.99 at Amazon — that's just $2 shy of its all-time low price from Black Friday season 2022.
$629.00 Save $130.00
Nugget ice just tastes better than your typical rock-hard ice cubes. That's why the GE Profile Opal 2.0 continues to be a bestseller. This machine sits atop your counter and pumps out 38 pounds of crunchable nugget ice every 24 hours. You can even use the built-in WiFi with the SmartHQ app to monitor how much ice you have on hand and schedule a fresh batch. It's regularly $629, but you can save $130 as of April 24 and snag it for $499. That's about $50 shy of its lowest price ever from Black Friday season and its lowest price so far this year.
