Everyone could use a robot assistant. Whether you’re studying for an exam, curious about the news, or just looking to play your favorite jam, having a mechanical friend to help you out is pretty great. It may sound like a futuristic and expensive luxury, but with smart home technology advancing at such a rapid pace, the future is now, and it’s completely affordable.

The Eufy Genie Smart Speaker is the latest addition to the Eufy smart home line. For Amazon Prime members. this little smart speaker comes with Alexa and all of the skills that it brings. That means you can get news, weather, calendar updates, and much more just by asking for it. Want to hear your favorite song? Just ask Alexa to play artists, genres, or even whale sounds if you’re into that. Though many songs come with your Amazon Prime subscription, your selection may be limited without Amazon Music Unlimited.

The Eufy Genie also allows you to add voice control of any smart home devices you may have. You can even go as far as naming your individual smart home devices to help enhance the experience. Personally, I very much enjoy waking up every morning and asking Alexa to “turn on Steve” — Steve being my saucy yet luminous living room lamp. Alexa also comes with a wide range of exciting skills, both fun and practical, to help improve your experience.

You may be hesitant to bring artificial intelligence into your home, but for just $20, you can easily test it out without having to dive all the way in.

Upgrading to a smarter home is easier than ever with this Black Friday deal. You can pick up your very own Eufy Genie for just $20 on Amazon after a 43 percent discount. This offer is for today only, so act fast before supplies run out.

Hurry and get this Keurig coffee maker while it’s 47% off today
The Keurig K-Classic on a counter.

For some folks, the only way to wake up in the morning is with a cup of coffee, but the usual method of filtration might take a bit too long for some. That's where pod-based coffee makers like the Keurig K-Classic come into play, as they can offer you some quick and excellent-tasting coffee without much hassle. There's even an excellent deal on it from Amazon that knocks it down to just $80 from its original $150, a very impressive $70 discount on an excellent coffee maker.

Why you should buy the Keurig K-Classic
The Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker is probably one of the best Keurig coffee makers and is perfect for that essential cup of coffee in the morning or any other time of the day really. It can brew three different cup sizes, including the six-, eight-, and ten-ounce ones, so you can get a strong brew if you feel like it. It also has a massive 48-ounce reserve for you to work with, which will let you do roughly six cups of coffee before needing to refill it, which is a lot if it's just for you and perfect if it's for two or three people.

My WFH foot warmer is just $30 today for Prime members
John Alexander using the Hodeamy heated floor mat.

It's Cyber Monday, which means two things: You can get great deals and winter is coming. As a result, now is a great time to prep your home office for the winter. One touch I have is the Hodeamy Heated Floor Mat. It's usually $39, but if you're an Amazon Prime member (or are on an Amazon Prime membership free trial) you can get it for just $30, saving you $9. Tap the button below to see more about the floor mat yourself, or keep reading to see why I like it so much.

Why you should buy the Hodeamy Heater Floor Mat
Last year, I was suffering from a recurring bout of unreasonably cold feet for reasons I never figured out. Wooly socks were not enough, but the Hodeamy Heated Floor Mat did the trick. It heats up quickly to a level of your choosing and provides warmth across the whole of the pad. It's pretty spacious (the manufacturer says 15.35 inches by 17.72 inches) and I felt the natural resting position of my feet hit within the warmth of the pad with minimal efforts.

Best smart plug Black Friday deals: Get connected from just $10
The Eufy Smart Plug Mini connected to a kitchen outlet.

If you have a lot of devices without smart capabilities, it can be a bit frustrating, especially if you want to turn things on and off by talking to Alexa. Luckily, there's a solution in the form of smart plugs that will let you switch anything connected to them on and off right from your phone. Not only that, but a few of them have additional capabilities, such as checking how much electricity is being used, which is great if you're trying to lower your electric bill by being conscious of your usage. While upgrading your whole home with smart plugs might be expensive, today is the first day of Black Friday, so there are a ton of great Black Friday deals you can take advantage of, and we've collected our favorites below.
Best smart plug Black Friday deal

The TP-Link Tapo Mini is one of the most affordable options for smart plugs in the market, but it doesn't sacrifice features to keep its cost low. Once it's set up, you can create schedules and timers for the electronic devices that are plugged into it, or turn them on or off manually through the Tapo app. You can also use voice commands for these functions, as the smart plug is compatible with smart home platforms such as Google Home, Apple Home, Amazon's Alexa, and Samsung's SmartThings, and the digital assistants that are associated with each of them. You'll get all of these features for a very low price of $10 for Black Friday, following a $10 discount from Best Buy on the TP-Link Tapo Mini's original price of $20.
