The best tech and TV deals, plus score a Shark vac for under $200

Cordless vacs can cost a lot, but this well-reviewed Shark comes in at under $200 — that’s $50 off — thanks to the Walmart Black Friday sale. Weighing only 8.25 pounds, it includes a HEPA filter and can tackle both hard floors and carpets. Special technology detects dirt you can’t see and automatically increases power, giving you better pickup. One fan called the vacuum a “great choice” and noted they were “surprised” by how much it picked up when they emptied the canister. Plus, without a cord, it’s “so much easier and quicker than a regular vacuum. The head pivots and makes it easy to get into tight spaces and corners.”

Lenovo is synonymous with great laptops, whether you’re looking for something that can handle an Excel spreadsheet or you want to play the latest and greatest video game. The nearly 16” screen size on this one is large enough for homework or watching YouTube videos but not so large it won’t fit in a tote or backpack. And eight GB of RAM is plenty for typical computer usage. The price may be low — only $249 — but the quality exceeds expectations. Using it for remote work? The laptop offers smart noise canceling for background noise reduction and rapid charging to make taking calls and working on the go even easier. “Since it was so inexpensive I assumed it wouldn’t be very good,” one reviewer admitted. “But I was wrong — this is a great laptop. I use it for work, school and home. I appreciate that the battery really does last for about seven hours.”

All those summer blockbusters you missed? They’ll be coming to a streamer near you any day now, and you’ll want to be ready with a multiplex-worthy TV to get you through the dark days of winter. You won’t do better than this shiny 50-inch set from Vizio — and this $248 sale price is absurd. Its vibrant 4K picture quality will make it feel like you’re living out each scene in real time. It also includes Dolby Vision HDR, which boasts incredible brightness. In addition to its crisp, clear display, this set comes with the brand’s SmartCast, which streams thousands of movies and shows. And did we mention it has a voice-activated remote? Genius. “Great product. I’ve always loved Vizio, and this TV most certainly did not disappoint! Amazing picture, works great with the soundbar, and gaming on it is insane,” reported a happy user.

Do you feel like you’re missing out on part of your home entertainment experience? If you’re only using your TV speakers, you probably are. Televisions tend to broadcast sound from the back, so not only are you getting reflected audio, but it’s just not as full as it could be. This Topvision soundbar — a wild $30 right now, down from $100 — is the solution you didn’t know you were looking for. It truly creates a 3D soundscape that makes you feel like you’re in the middle of the action. Perhaps the most important aspect is just how easy it is to set up. Pair it with your mobile phone to play music, and use the auxiliary and RCA inputs to plug into a TV. You don’t have to be an audio expert to hook this puppy up; it’s basically plug and play. This shopper can attest to that: “This small soundbar is a winner. Great sound for small/medium-sized rooms. Quick, easy setup.”

Haters are gonna hate, but Crocs are modern classics for a reason — and these Baya Clogs are no exception. They’re extremely lightweight, breathable, cushy and water-friendly, and have little massaging nubs on the footbeds as a tiny treat for your feet. Plus, they’re only $30 (that’s 50% off), and come in a variety of fun colors (white, black, pink) and patterns (leopard and floral). The stylish platform makes them an ideal gift for the teens in your life too. “These are so comfortable and darling,” explained a clog convert. “They are my first real pair of Crocs. I got a bunch of jibbitz to dress them up — that’s always fun. Give them a try! They’re awesome.”
