41 must-have Cyber Monday deals that end at midnight tonight – CNET [CNET]

November 29, 2021 Thomas Giboney technology

This story is part of Holiday Gift Guide 2021, our list of ideas, by topic, by recipient and by price, to help you discover the perfect gift.

Cyber Monday is finally here and it’s your last chance to score some huge discounts on a lot of great products. In most cases these prices will be disappearing at the end of the day and going back up to full price, which means you’d have to pay a lot more for the same things tomorrow. With how close we are to the holidays, we don’t expect to see some of these deals come back again, so you’ll want to act today and not miss out.

We expect that many of these deals will slip away or go up in price soon. We recommend avoiding the hassle and shopping now.

There were a lot of early AirPods deals, but for anyone seeking alternatives, these are the ones to pick up.

Apple Watch Series 6: From $299 (save $100)

Black Friday brought us a bunch of great Apple Watch discounts, but this Cyber Monday Apple Watch deal may be the best one yet. Walmart has the Apple Watch Series 6 on sale for $299 in limited colors and configurations. Unfortunately, some of the colors have already sold out and are not likely to return. There are discounts on the larger one as well, with prices starting at $329.

If you’re interested in picking up a Series 6 for yourself, you’ll need to act quick. We don’t expect this will last through the end of the day, so grab one now!

Apple 21.5-inch iMac (2020): $799 (save $300)

Looking to upgrade your home office space this holiday season?

chamberlain-myq-g0401 — A must-have for any home with a garage door.

Chamberlain

Did you know you could turn your basic garage door into a smart garage door by just adding a simple accessory to it? Well, in most cases you can, and it’s so worth it. The MyQ connected hub gets programmed to your garage door opener and then allows you to use your phone to control it from anywhere. It works with most garage doors made after 1993, but you’ll want to consult with the compatibility checker to ensure yours will work.

To make this deal even sweeter, Amazon is offering people who try this with its Key In-Garage delivery service an extra $30 credit with your first order, which basically means you’re earning $13 for using it.

TCL 55-inch 6-Series Mini LED 4K TV: $700 (save $250)

TCL 6 Series TV (2021) — David Katzmaier/CNET

It’s no secret: The CNET team really likes the Mini-LED 6-Series TV from TCL, and we like it even more at this discounted price. A bunch of sizes are discounted right now, including the 65- and 75-inch model if you’re looking for something larger. In our TCL 6-Series TV review, David Katzmaier compared this to other “mainstream-priced” TVs and ranked it his top pick, earning it an Editors’ Choice award.

SodaStream Jet: $55 (save $25)

Whether you’re tired of buying bubble water to drink or are trying to cut back on other sugary drinks, SodaStream can help. In just a few seconds (literally) you can turn any plain water into the bubbly, delicious beverage of your dreams. There are a few kits on sale at Amazon, depending what you want it to come with. For most people, the basic one is sufficient. You can buy flavors separately to change things up, or you can drink the carbonated water plain.

Echo Show 5: $45 (save $40)

Amazon’s newest Echo Show 5 is at its lowest price to date, but you’re going to need to wait a few weeks to get your hands on one. You can place your order now to lock in this nearly 50% discount, but unfortunately Amazon is showing that delivery won’t happen until later in December (for now). The Show 5 has a 5-inch display that can be used to showcase your favorite photos, video chat with friends, read recipes, control your smart home devices and much more.

This discounted price could disappear at any time, especially considering that it’s already backordered, so be sure to purchase one before that happens.

Gourmia 8-Quart Air Fryer: $59 (save $30)

Air fryers are all the rage this Black Friday shopping season, and if you’ve somehow managed to avoid buying one, let’s change that. This 8-quart option from Gourmia has a bunch of different presets so you can easily (and properly) cook your food without worrying about temperatures and times. An air fryer is a great tool to cook french fries, chicken, vegetables and more, and its capacity is large enough to cook for multiple people at the same time.

Hulu: 12 months for $12 (save $72)

Angela Lang/CNET

It’s that time of the year again: the one time that Hulu offers a significant discount for new customers (and select returning ones), making it nearly impossible to avoid signing up for the streaming service. Right now, you can get 12 months of access to the ad-supported plan for just 99 cents per month, which is $6 less than what you’ll pay tomorrow.

You can cancel at any time if you decide that you don’t want to keep the $1 membership around any longer. After 12 months, it will begin billing at the full regular price, so be sure to set a reminder to avoid any unwanted charges.
