Two Dyson Vacuums
Save Up to 35% Today on Amazon, a pair of Dyson vacuums are marked down to their lowest prices ever. The first, Dyson’s cordless V7 Trigger vacuum, is a vehicle cleaning machine. The tiny vacuum boasts half an hour of continuous suction, a two-year warranty and three detachable heads for different surfaces. Plus, the dustbin is opened with a lever on the top of the device and empties through the bottom, meaning your hands aren’t covered in dirt after emptying. It’s comfortably the most powerful handheld vacuum for the money.
The Ball Animal 2 is the opposite of the V7 Trigger. The full-sized, upright, corded vacuum was one of the last traditional vacuums the British company made. It features whole-machine HEPA filtration, enormous suction and a head that adjusts to the different surfaces in a home. This particular model is “Certified Refurbished,” which means it was refurbished by Dyson. According to the brand, this means it “shows limited or no wear, includes all original accessories, and a 6 month Dyson limited warranty against original defects in materials & workmanship; warranty covers private household use in accordance with the owner’s manual.” —Will Price

CourtesyHerman Miller Aeron Task Chair
Save 52% By virtually any measure, Herman Miller’s Aeron task chair is one of, if not the, greatest desk chair of all-time. Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick’s design features supreme adjustability: seat height, arm height, lumbar support, reclining tension and forward and rear tilt locks. It was the first successful integration of airy mesh into task chair design. Shoot, it even earned a spot in the Museum of Modern Art’s permanent collection. Fair or not, any company that releases a high-end office chair today must bear comparison to the Aeron.
Today, the Aeron is 52 percent off on Ebay. These specific products are open-box models, but haven’t been used. So while they can’t be advertised as “new,” you’re not buying a worn-in chair. This is about as affordable as an unused Aeron will go for, and roughly the same price as a used Aeron. —Will Price
Beats Powerbeats3 Wireless Sport Headphones
Save $87: Runners are an opinionated bunch when it comes anything gear-related. Shoes are obvious fodder for discussion and debate, but arguments are frequently had over socks and even torn-up t-shirts. The subject of headphones is ripe for disagreements, so we’ll settle the matter before they occur: Beats Powerbeats3 Wireless are among the best running headphones available. Right now, they’re also on sale for 44 percent off.
Last year, we stacked the Powerbeats3 against eleven other pairs of wireless and true wireless sport headphones from brands like Jabra, Sony and Bose, and the Beats held out. The list of pros includes a super-comfortable fit, fast and seamless Bluetooth pairing, a 12-hour battery life and bass-pumping sound. The principle con is price, but the current discount shaves $87 off its full tag, which is a deal even the choosiest athletes can’t dispute. — Tanner Bowden
Thrive Market Paleo Sale
Save 25% If you’re looking to add more protein into your diet — whether that’s to lose weight or see some performance gains in the weight room — a Paleo meal plan can help. The meat and nuts-heavy diet eliminates whole grains and added sugar, which means you’ll need to go grocery shopping to re-stock your cabinets. Through Friday, you can save up to 25 percent off on all the essentials you need to start cooking like a caveman. Everything from steaks to jerky to almond butter to tortilla chips is Paleo-friendly and on sale.
