Amazon

$150

This has the best screen on any Amazon tablet, with a massive 10-inch display, and 12 hours of battery life.

$150 at Amazon

Enjoy up to 12 hours of reading, browsing the web over Wi-Fi, watching videos and listening to music from anywhere with the Fire HD 10! You also get power backup via its USB-C (2.0) port and super-enhanced durability — the Fire HD 10 is 1.7 times more durable than the latest iPad 10.2, thanks to a screen made with strengthened aluminosilicate glass. Full HD means you have more than two million pixels to amp up enjoyment of shows, movies and more in total high-def.

"I have an older Fire tablet from Amazon, but this one wowed me," reported one of 76,000 five-star fans. "It's easy to use and has so many apps that when I travelled I took it with me instead of my laptop. And the pictures I took with it were a hit with my granddaughter at her wedding. Also, I can read my books more comfortably with the larger print when needed, and the price can't be beat."

JBL

JBL Bar 2.1 Deep Bass Soundbar

$222$350Save $128

This soundbar has two built-in speakers and comes with a 6.5" subwoofer for a deep and immersive experience sans wires or speakers.

$222 at Amazon

This little sound machine gives you that full movie theater experience with its two built-in speakers and subwoofer. And if you're not in a viewing mood, you can stream music via the included Bluetooth feature. Bonus: You can operate it with your TV's remote.

"I am somewhat of a self-proclaimed audiophile," shared this modest maven "This soundbar has full, rich, sound and deep base. Ran it through its paces with movies like Top Gun, Transformers, Star Trek, etc. and was impressed with the sound quality and bass. Might just be the best soundbar at this price point!"

Bowflex

Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbell

$339

This adjustable-weight 'bell gives you an expansive range of 5 to 52.5 pounds, allowing you to do a lot with a little. A simple toggle system makes it easy to switch up the weights mid-workout.

$339 at Amazon

Beef up your home gym setup with this massively popular adjustable-weight dumbbell. The weight easily adjusts in 2.5-pound increments to let you get specific. It's essentially 15 pieces in one, saving you time and money. It all fits neatly into a holding tray that keeps unused weights from rolling around.

"Easy to operate right out of the box. It’s all fairly self-explanatory," said a five-star fan. "There are two knobs, one on each end of the dumbbell. You turn the knobs to the desired weight setting and lift straight up on the dumbbell. That’s it. You don’t need to try to figure out any weight-plate combinations in your head. You just turn the knobs on each end to the desired weight."

So far it's racked up more than 3,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, thanks to how light and easy it is to use.

"This is a lifesaver!" proclaimed one of those raves.. "For the past 15 years I have been using those heavy vacuums, and I decided to buy a wireless one. This has been so exciting to use, it is so light to hold, it takes five minutes to set up, charging it is the best and lasts such a long time. I clean my house every day with it and I am sure there are amazing brands , but this has been my fave!"
