1. Nearly half off: This compact car vacuum

You never really know how many crumbs are scattered throughout your car seats from road trip meals until you start vacuuming. To ensure you get rid of them all, you can try the ThisWorx portable car vacuum, now available at a near-50% discount at $22.99. Typically $44.97, this handheld cleaner has earned more than 88,000 5-star ratings from shoppers, who praised this gadget for having great suction power.

2. Less than $90: One of our favorite smart thermostats

Remember all the nights your parents spent fiddling with the thermostat when you were younger—and how annoyed they were trying to get just the right temperature? Save yourself those headaches with the Google Nest thermostat. Now available from $87.99—$42 off its standard price of $129.99—this smart temperature controller is a more basic version of the Nest Learning thermostat (also on sale for $199)—the best smart thermostat we've ever tested. This more basic model also made our list for its energy-efficient settings and scheduling features, which can help you save big on energy costs. We found its setting to be easy to adjust with the Google Home app (note that it's not compatible with the Nest app), and found the energy reports helpful in learning more about our home's unit.

3. 36% off: These blackout window drapes

Sure, it's nice to let the sunlight in every now and then, but sometimes, you need a break from the brightness blasting through your windows. That's when a set of Deconovo window drapes, which you can now get for as low as $14.71 in the 42-by-45-inch size, are sure to come in handy. The drapes are available in multiple colors for sizes up to 42-by-120-inches. Customers lauded these window coverings, claiming that they not only efficiently blocked out the sunlight, they also offered insulation to whatever room they were being used in. Shoppers also appreciated the drapes' material, describing it as being "soft," "silky" and "thick."

4. Save $20: Our favorite value air fryer

Air fryers have become all the rage in the world of home cooking, but the prices of some can make your wallet wince. To save you some pennies, we'd recommend the Cosori Max XL, now on sale at a 17% discount from its usual price tag of $119.99 at $99.98. This 5.8-quart piece is our favorite value air fryer for its large capacity, which is capable of handling 2 pounds of crinkle fries. It looks impressive, and its digital controls for its preset cooking programs were also super-functional. Though we found it tricky to remove the inner basket, it wasn't a deal breaker, especially as the compartment is dishwasher-safe. And that's all in service of making some very crispy meals.
