Monday’s best deals: PD power bank $ 14, Amazfit Bip $ 47, Echo Dot with Clock $ 10 and more


Happy Monday, cheekbones! A quick recommendation for you: Utopia for Realists by Rutger Bregman. It caught my eye in a bookstore (remember that?) And I couldn’t leave it. Surprising, fascinating, informative and, best of all, hopeful. They are $ 9 for the paperback and $ 10 for the Kindle edition.

It’s another Monday when deals are everywhere, so here’s a roundup of the best. As always, these are available for a limited time and while supplies last. The inventory and discount codes may expire without prior notice, although everything is in stock and active at the time of this writing.

Amazfit

This is already overdue, meaning it won’t ship right away, but you can still purchase it for that price, courtesy of a 33% off coupon that should automatically activate in your shopping cart.

As regular Cheapskate readers know, the Bip offers incredible battery life (weeks, not days), an always-on display, built-in GPS and heart rate monitoring, and other impressive features. It was recently succeeded by the Bip S, which offers a number of updates and an attractive price of $ 70.

But the original Bip is still a great watch, especially at $ 47. Read the Amazfit Bip review.

Available “for eligible customers only” (which I think means Prime subscribers who haven’t previously taken advantage of similar offers), this is basically a $ 50 discount on the Echo Dot with watch, but you have to pay the full price for two months of Amazon Music Unlimited. That brings his total to $ 25.97, which is still a great way to look at it.

Don’t you care about the watch? The standard Amazon Echo Dot costs just $ 1 with two-month subscription (So ​​$ 16.97 total).

Either way, you can unsubscribe later if you decide you don’t want to continue. (That said, $ 7.99 a month for unlimited music is a pretty sweet deal.)

Tacklife

Good for sanding, scraping, sawing and more, this cordless multifunction tool is a must. Promotional code MOHVM5QS It removes about $ 30 from the regular price, and the $ 4 off coupon on the page (which may not be available for much longer) takes you to the door for less than $ 46.

Features include six-speed operation, a universal connector, a carrying case, and a variety of accessories: saw blade, scraper blade, scrub pad, plenty of sandpaper, etc. I haven’t tried this particular tool, but I’ve used other Tacklife products and they’ve all been solid. Remarkably, you get a two-year warranty.

BlitzWolf

Fans have come a long way from just sitting there and blowing on you. This one, for example, has a telescopic head, which means you can sit at your desk or nightstand or on the floor. It can blow in one direction or it can oscillate. And it has a rechargeable battery, so you can take it outside without having to deal with cables.

Comes with a remote control that hides inside the fan when folded (!) For storage or travel. There is even a night light. The icing on the cake: USB-C charging. (The melted candle wax on the cake: no AC adapter included).

I have been using one for a couple of weeks. Verdict? Love, love, love, although I wish it didn’t sound that loud when you turn it on and off or change the fan speed. Promotional code BWFANCNET Lower the price to $ 45.09, the largest (and only) discount to date.

This is only the second time that this AirPods Pro alternative, which is already a $ 100 CNET favorite, has been on sale for this price. CNET’s David Carnoy said favorable things about his USB-C and wireless charging, the app-controlled EQ settings, and the excellent call performance. (That said, if you want active noise cancellation in addition to noise isolation Look elsewhere.) Read the Soundcore Liberty Air 2 review.

AM-RE

I’ve seen plenty of Apple Pencil alternatives, but this is the first I’ve seen with USB-C charging. It’s a small thing, but it’s a welcome alternative to futzing with a Micro-USB connector.

The stylus works with most current generation iPads and supports tilt sensitivity and palm rejection, which means you can put your hand on the screen while doodling and won’t interfere. Promotional code AVVGEPMC saves you $ 22.

Xcentz

Although compact and lightweight, this mobile charger provides enough power to fully recharge your phone at least a few times. In addition to a QuickCharge Type-A USB port, it has an 18-watt USB-C Power Delivery port, perhaps not enough to handle Nintendo Switch charging, but it’s definitely enough for smaller devices.

Promotional code CNETPB552 it’s your ticket at a $ 14 discount.

Phew! OK, who’s buying what?
