August

The beauty of smart home products, whether they are doorbells or cameras or light hubs, is that they can give you peace of mind. No matter where you are in the world, or even from the privacy of your own home, as long as you have your mobile device you can know what’s going on at your door and moreover, control it. There’s no better example than a smart lock, and no better smart lock than this one from August.

The primary convenience of this smart lock is that its deadbolt can be locked or unlocked from anywhere. Remember the panic of, “Did I forget to lock the door?” Gone. For good. But there’s way more to this device.

You never have to scramble or worry about keys again, for one. Your phone is your key. Also, the lock comes ready to work right out of the box — no additional hub needed. But let’s say you’re happy with your current lock, and you kind of like having your key; no problem. The August smart lock can be used to upgrade your current lock, so you don’t have to change a thing. What happens if you lose your phone; won’t you be locked out? Nope. The August smart lock lets you give backup keys to friends or family or anyone you trust. They can operate your lock from their phones; and you can cancel their access any time with the touch of a button. What’s more, the August Smart Lock is enabled to work with Alexa and Google Nest, so you can integrate it with your Smart Home system.

We’re seeing tons of great Cyber Monday smart home deals, making today a great day to upgrade your home — consider pairing this lock with something like this Amazon Echo Dot deal, or going the full nine yards toward a complete smart home with this Arlo Pro 3 security camera deal. Right now, you can get $40 off the August Wi-Fi Smart Lock. It’s down $210 from its original price of $250. You not only get huge savings, you get total peace of mind. Now that’s a deal, and you hold the key.

Tineco Black Friday deals: Smart vacuums galore to clean your floors
Tineco PURE ONE Station being put away on charger

Vacuuming and cleaning should not be strenuous. You should be able to take out your tool of choice, glide through your home cleaning up with minimal effort, and then get right back to your life. Unfortunately, not all vacuums are created equal, which can mean the work itself takes longer. Either they don't offer powerful suction, they don't offer convenient attachments for more thorough cleans, or they exacerbate the problem -- with bag-based dustbins, for example, that cause more hassle than they're worth. With the holidays coming up and lots of family coming to visit, quick cleaning is going to be more important than ever. Enter Tineco with its excellent smart vacuums.

Between the Pure One Station, Pure One S15 Essential, and Pure One S11, there's a cordless vacuum in the lineup for you. Best of all, Tineco is having excellent holiday, and Black Friday deals that drop their prices to all-time lows.
