Ring Alarm 14-Piece System

– $229 ($100 off)

The Ring Alarm kit is a great pick for homeowners in the market for an affordable security system. With 14 devices in total, this package makes an ideal monitoring solution for your entire home. This bundle includes three main components: A base station to keep the whole alarm system online and connected to your mobile devices, two keypads to arm and disarm your system from inside your home, and a range extender to expand the signal to all alarm components.

Completing this set are two motion detectors that notify you when activity is detected, plus eight contact sensors that can identify and alert you when doors or windows are open. You can easily upgrade your system by purchasing add-on detectors and sensors, as well as alarms for smoke, water, and carbon monoxide. Each Ring device can be managed and controlled through the companion Ring app or through an Alexa-enabled device. A 24/7 professional monitoring service with cellular backup and 60 days of unlimited video recording can be at your service for $10 per month after a 30-day trial.

Don’t pass up the chance to bring home the Ring Alarm 14-piece kit today on Amazon for only $229, $100 below its standard $329 price tag. If that’s too rich for your blood, you may want to opt for the 5-piece and 8-piece security systems which are also on sale right now. You’ll also get a base station, a keypad, and a range extender, but with fewer motion detectors and contact sensors. Sale prices are $139 and $169, respectively.

If you want to step up your home monitoring with an HD camera, this SimpliSafe bundle might just tick all the boxes for you. This package comes with an HD camera that is perfect for watching live footage of an area and for capturing crucial evidence in case a breach in security occurs. Boasting a crisp 1080p resolution, it lets you see what’s happening clearly all day and all night. The camera has a built-in stainless-steel shutter for control over privacy.

The other nine components include the easy-to-use, smash-free keypad that can be installed anywhere, four entry sensors built to protect entryways like doors and windows, a motion sensor that can detect intruders, a panic button for quick sounding of the alarm, and a video doorbell for monitoring your front door. Lastly, there’s the base station that flaunts a built-in cellular connection, a 24-hour battery backup, and a 95-decibel siren. It can also send alarm signals to the monitoring center.

Just like the Ring Alarm, this SimpliSafe home security system is easily controllable via the companion SimpliSafe app. It can also be paired with a 24/7 professional monitoring service for $15 per month with no contracts needed.

But if you're in the market for one of the best TV deals now, including from both manufacturers themselves and the Best Buy TV deals, Walmart TV deals, and Amazon TV deals, then there is really no reason to wait. Deals start now! Though we're excited to see how the space develops, manufacturers know that modern people aren't interested in waiting around and any part of fall is a great time to buy a TV — there's football, colder weather, and cozying up after school and work with the family for a movie is a great tradition.

Best pressure washer deals: Up to $110 off Greenworks and Kärcher
The Greenworks GPW3001 Pro electric pressure washer, placed outside.

If you've been on the internet and seen a bunch of pressure washer clips and are now considering grabbing one yourself, you'll be happy to know that there is a huge range of them to pick from. That includes some great budget-oriented versions to dip your toe in and are still good for cleaning stains and cleaning up stuff. That's why we've gone out and collected some of our favorite washer deals for you below, including some of the best pressure washers for cars, which you do have to be a bit careful with not to strip the paint or clearcoat.
Greenworks Pressure Washer Combo Kit -- $110 $220 50% off

While this Greenworks power washer doesn't have as high a PSI, around 1,900 PSI, it is a lot more portable and a great option if you want something that's smaller and easier to take around with you. It comes with a 35-foot power chord and a 20-foot hose, so you get quite a bit of distance. If you are somewhere rural and need to clean stuff that doesn't have a power cable nearby, this is perfect. Besides that, we also appreciate that this comes with an 11-inch surface cleaner, which isn't something common with a lot of other power washers, even more expensive ones. Just be aware that you do need a My Best Buy subscription to be able to get the discount.

Best Buy knocks $250 off this TP-Link mesh router system
TP-Link BE11000

If you're the type of person who uses a lot of smart home devices, then you know the pain that comes along with not having the best Wi-Fi coverage in your home. Wi-Fi dead spots can be a really big problem, even with the best routers, which is why a mesh router can be a great alternative. If you're thinking of grabbing a mesh router system, then the TP-Link BE11000 is a really solid option, especially since this deal from Best Buy knocks a whopping $250 off the price tag of $800 for a pack of three.

Why you should buy the TP-Link BE11000 Whole Home Mesh System
One of the most impressive things about the TP-Link BE11000 is that it can cover a truly massive area of 7,600 square feet, making it great for larger homes as well, especially given those tend to have the biggest issue with Wi-Fi dead spots. Another big benefit is that it comes with the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard, which is actually pretty rare these days, especially for mesh routers, but you do get better connectivity, lower latency, and the ability to connect up to 200 devices. Also, for those who are VPN users, it supports both VPN servers and clients, meaning you just need to install the VPN on the mesh router and not on every device in your home.
