Best home deal

Why we like it

We featured this mopping vacuum just a week ago when it was on sale at an affordable $344.99. As of Nov. 2, however, it’s on sale for even less at just $319.99 — that’s $180 in savings. This powerful wet-dry vac is a great addition to homes with lots of hard flooring or tile, as well as homes with pets or messy kiddos. Mashable culture editor Brian Koerber said « the Crosswave X7 actually delivers on its promise » to combine vacuuming and mopping into a single step.

Best computer deal

Why we like it

Though it was released in 2020, the M1 MacBook Air is by no means outdated. Its M1 chip can power everyday tasks or more complex tasks like photo and video editing like a champ. It has an 18-hour battery life, ultra-portable design, and is completely fanless (so it won’t sound like it’s going to blast off when you’re multitasking). It earned the Mashable Choice badge of honor for a reason. At $200 off, this deal at Best Buy knocks it down to its lowest price ever. At the time of writing, it’s $100 more at Amazon.
