Having a five-star kitchen shouldn’t cost you five-star restaurant prices. After all, you’re cooking to save money, right? But don’t worry — even if your epicurean tastes lead you to sous vide cooking or baking all your bread from scratch, you won’t go broke delighting your senses. At least, not if your kitchen is furnished with appliances from Monoprice.

The ecommerce company is making its way to the small home appliance industry for the first time by way of the new Strata Home line. From vacuum food sealers to robotic vacuum cleaners, you’ll be able to find innovations in cleaning, cooking, and baking, at equally innovative (that is, low) prices.

“Technological advances continue to enhance daily life, making it easier for people to prepare great food, clean more thoroughly and efficiently, and — most importantly — save time,” said Bernard Luthi, CEO at Monoprice. “In our ongoing pursuit of category expansion, we realized many of the most innovative and best-in-class products in the home appliance space aren’t offered to consumers at an affordable price point. With our entry into this thriving market, we’ve made it our goal to bring consumers — from foodies to amateur chefs — the housewares they need to further their passions, without the expense of current small home appliances.”

For example, Monoprice’s Sous Vide Precision Cooker, which allows home chefs to cook like pros, will set you back just $70, considerably less than other sous vide cookers or immersion circulators. And the company’s robotic vacuum cleaners start at $80, which certainly gives, say, your Roomba a run for its money.

Other products already available include an $80 vacuum food sealer, a $70 all-in-one pot (which comes with pressure cooking, slow cooking, rice cooking, and steaming capabilities), a $50 portable induction cooktop, and a $50 bread machine.

So if you want to break into a new era of home cooking without breaking your bank, Monoprice and its new Start Home line may be the place to start.

Corded vacuum cleaners are a good idea if you're looking to clean up a bigger mess, but they do take up a lot of space and can be quite heavy to handle, especially if you have muscle issues. Luckily, cordless vacuums are a good alternative, and while they have their own issues with how long they run, they are a great alternative. Even better, there are a lot of great options out there, from the higher-end Dyson deals to some more affordable Shark options. Either way, we've gone out and collected some of our favorite cordless vacuum deals for you below.

The Wyze Scale Ultra in white.

Wyze is responsible for some of the best smart scales on the market, with products like the Wyze Scale, Wyze Scale S, and Wyze Scale X gracing its catalog. All these give you an easy way to track a variety of health metrics -- including not just weight, but also body fat, heart rate, and body mass index (BMI). Its catalog is growing a bit larger today with the Wyze Scale Ultra, which takes everything great about these past products and pairs them with a gigantic new display.

The Wyze Scale Ultra takes the same measurements as the Wyze Scale X, but it now offers a 4.3-inch full-color TFT display. That makes it easier than ever to check all your health data without needing to pull out your mobile phone and check the companion app. It’s highly customizable too, so whether you want to check trends in your weight or see multiple stats at once, this smart scale is more versatile than most others on the market.
