Good Deal — Philips

Philips Hue Smart Dimmable LED Smart Light Recipe Kit lifestyle — Philips

When it comes to smart home tech, one of the top brands that comes to mind for smart lighting is Philips Hue. Designed for plug-and-play connectivity, Philips Hue devices are easy to set up and a breeze to control. And if you’re operating a Hue Bridge, you’ll be able to control up to 50 different Hue products! Philips Hue deals can be a little hard to come by, which is why we’ve chosen to highlight this great Best Buy offer. Right now, when you purchase the Philips Hue A19 White and Color Ambiance (3-Pack), you’ll only pay $80. At full price, this model sells for $135.

Why you should buy the Philips Hue A19 White and Color Ambiance (3-Pack)

While investing in a Hue Bridge will unlock the full capabilities of your Philips Hue system, this A19 White and Color Ambiance (3-Pack) can be controlled over Bluetooth, too. Do keep in mind this introduces range and device limitations, though, so going Wi-Fi might be a top consideration regardless. Not to mention, you’ll be able to control your Hue system remotely (Bluetooth relies on a host device to be nearby).

Delivering up to 800 lumens of brightness, each A19 bulb has millions of colors to choose from. You also get brightness and scene controls, among other options. You’ll can set up Alexa and Google Assistant in the Hue app to execute lighting automations with simple voice commands. These A19 bulbs are rated for indoor use only, but Philips Hue makes outdoor lighting products, too.

We’re not sure how long this discount is going to be in effect, but Best Buy deals and Amazon deals tend to go pretty quickly. Fortunately, if you buy right now, you’ll be able to save yourself $55. You can rest assured that you nabbed yourself a top smart lighting suite.

Jackery’s new solar panels are indistinguishable from your roof

jackerys new solar panels are indistinguishable from your roof jwholehome

When you think of solar panels on a home, what's the first thing that comes to mind? In most cases, it's the square, black photovoltaic cells. While those do work, they aren't the most aesthetically pleasing. This is an issue, especially in communities with draconic HOAs. The Jackery Solar Roof offers an attractive alternative that's practically indistinguishable from terracotta roofing tiles.

The Solar Roof has a conversion rate of over 25%. That might not sound like a lot, but the average efficiency rating of solar panels is typically between 15% and 22%, putting Jackery far ahead of the pack. These panels are tougher than a normal roof, too; they're impact and hail resistant and come with a 30-year warranty. That's right, 30 years (and the average lifespan of a normal roof is only 20 years).

The Dreame Z1 Pro Robotic Pool Cleaner takes the hassle out of pool maintenance

Robot vacuums are out. Robot pool cleaners are in (the deep end). In addition to the noteworthy Dreame X50 Ultra, the company has introduced the Z1 Pro robotic pool cleaner. At first glance, it looks like the world's bulkiest robovac. With large treads instead of wheels and dual brushes on the front, the Z1 Pro looks like a cross between a tank and spaceship.

There's a reason it's significantly larger than household bots, though. Navigating through the water is more difficult from a physical standpoint, but it's also trickier for the navigation system. The Z1 Pro utilizes a combination of ultrasound, 3D structured light, and infrared to make its way through the depths, but what stands out most is its ability to handle elevation shifts. Early models of robot pool cleaners struggled with dips in the floor of the pool, but the Z1 Pro can clean not just the floor but also the walls (by literally climbing them) and the surface of the water. It will float atop your pool and act as a skimmer, too.
