The art of hunting for deals is a finely crafted skill. Above all else, the motto to stand by is as follows: you can never find a good deal on a bad product. In order to recommend our readers the best of the best, we spend our days putting products to the test in our labs, tracking price histories, researching customer reviews, and scouring the web for sales to report on. For today’s roundup, we’ve compiled five Amazon deals that we’re pretty psyched about, including a Cuisinart food processor, a Roku, and more.
In terms of renowned kitchen gadgets, the Cuisinart 14-Cup Food Processor ranks near the top of the list. The reasons why it’s our favorite food processor are abundant—it’s the perfect size, it’s easy to clean, it quietly operates, and most importantly, it made quick work of every task we threw at it, from chopping onions to slicing tomatoes, as well as kneading pizza dough. Right now as Amazon’s Deal of the Day you can save about $50 on this iconic device and snag it for just $100, which is one of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen, excluding a lightning deal on Prime Day this year.
To cable or not to cable, that is the question? More and more people have been recently opting to cut the hefty cable bills from their lives, and get a streaming device instead like the Roku Express, pictured above. This very reasonably priced device allows you to access all your favorite TV channels and apps like Amazon Video, Netflix, and HBO Now, all at the touch of a button. When our TV expert tested the best streaming devices, he found the 2017 model of the Roku Express to be perfectly adequate if you just need basic features like 1080p HD video, though it processed slower than other, more expensive devices. Right now, you can get the improved 2018 model for just $22, which is an all-time low compared to its usual $30 price tag.
