It’s time for Independence Day, which also means summer is officially here. We’ve been looking at grill deals to get ahead of the season, and this deal on a Blackstone Duo makes the price so affordable we had to talk about it. This Blackstone Duo, which is usually $293, is now down to $197. That saves you $96, which is quite a lot of food even with today’s prices. Read on to see why we like it or go ahead and tap that button below to see the deal straight away. Don’t wait too long, however, to make this purchase. For one, summer is here and you don’t want to miss a day of grilling in the sun. Also, this deal is very popular, so it could sell out soon.

Why you should buy the Blackstone Duo 17-inch Propane Griddle and Charcoal Grill

The full name of this Blackstone Duo is the Blackstone Duo 17-inch Propane Griddle and Charcoal Grill and once you understand it, you’ll see that the name alone tells you just about everything you need to know about this grill before you decide to buy it or not. One side has the flat griddle for searing and making those morning eggs and pancakes, while the other has the grill for burgers and more. But what about the 17 part, is this is mini device that’s only 17 inches wide? Not at all, you’ll actually get a huge rectangular area for each cooking element. The grill area is 16 x 15.75 inches and the griddle is 17 x 15.75 inches. The griddle top is, according to Blackstone, enough for 69 bacon slices.

This Blackstone Duo has convenient utensil hooks, sturdy wheels, and a large shelf that runs below the main cooking area. A hole behind the griddle leads to a rear grease management system that will help you clean the griddle off and keep things moving in your heavy cooking routine.

Ready to grill and griddle your way through the summer? Tap the button below to find the Blackstone Duo 17-inch Propane Griddle and Charcoal Grill over at Walmart at a price of just $197, or $96 down from its usual price of $293.

The best smart home gym equipment

Find the connected fitness equipment that's worth your money.

The average workout doesn't begin with your first rep anymore. It begins with the data you've already collected. Smartwatches track your sleep and heart rate, smart rings measure recovery, and some fitness enthusiasts even use continuous glucose monitors to better understand how their bodies respond to training and nutrition. Smart home gym equipment builds on that foundation, combining connected hardware with AI-powered coaching, adaptive resistance, and long-term progress tracking to turn health insights into smarter workouts.

Smart fitness has also grown well beyond streaming workout classes. The latest machines can automatically adjust resistance as you get stronger, analyze your performance over time, and sync with the health devices you already use. Some even use AI to recommend workouts based on your goals and training history, making every session feel more personalized. If you're still deciding whether investing in connected fitness makes sense for your lifestyle, check out our guide on whether a smart home gym is worth it.

Tineco Pure ONE Station 5 Pro review: A reliable kit that’s low on maintenace, high on conveniences

An easy recommendation for anyone who wants a cordless vacuum that is genuinely easy to live with.

With two young children and two dogs, my floors put vacuums through a real-world stress test every day. Between constant crumbs, pet hair, tracked-in dirt, and everything in between, there’s always something waiting to be cleaned. The Tineco Pure ONE Station 5 Pro solved those those pain points for me pretty well. It can run for over an hour and a half on a single charge, while its base station dustbin capacity outpaces many standard upright vacuums that I've tested over the years.

My smart home experiment has reached its natural limit

Smart-home technology keeps improving, but being easier to automate doesn’t make everything worth automating

Computer, Electronics, Laptop, Smart Home

The first device I added to my smart home was a light bulb. It seemed like the safest possible place to start. I could turn it on from anywhere, put it on a schedule, and eventually work it into routines with everything else.

Then I tapped the button in the app and waited. The delay was only about half a second, but half a second is surprisingly noticeable when the alternative is a wall switch that responds immediately and has never once asked for a firmware update. Using my phone was worse. I had to unlock it, find the app, open the right room, and tap the light I could have switched on several steps earlier.
