Walmart and Best Buy slash prices on Google Home devices after Christmas

Chances are pretty good that you or someone you know picked up a Google Home or Alexa-enabled device this year for Christmas. After all, installing voice-based assistant devices makes living at home more conveniently comfortable, connected, and potentially saves you energy and money. Despite being late to the market Google Home is rising competitively with Amazon Alexa devices and smart speakers. If you were thinking of taking the plunge and getting yourself your very first Google Home product or an additional one for a different room in your home, check out some of the best deals below.

Google Home devices help you in every day tasks like fetching the score of your favorite team, preparing you with the weather, scheduling your appointments, adjusting lights, playing your Spotify playlist, and so much more. Hands-free devices like the Google Home Hub’s screen lets you easily cook meals by reading off ingredients and pulling video instructions from YouTube all without having to interrupt your cooking. As home appliances become smarter and more advanced with better features and sensors, it also means that they become more accessible and discounted. The holidays have come and gone but you can still save big on a Google Home, Google Home Mini, and Google Home Hub devices with these end of year sales.

While this is ostensibly made for your garage, there's no reason the Chamberlain myQ Smart Garage can't work for other uses as well, especially if you don't need the highest quality of recording. It has an HD camera, which isn't a ton, but it does have an impressive 130-degree field of view.
