From $349
Trevor Daugherty -

Update: Amazon is now matching this price on both the Pixel 3a and 3a XL deals.

B&H offers Google Pixel 3a 64GB in various colors for $349 shipped. You’ll also receive 3-months of Mint Mobile service and an AVODA clear case valued at $80. The phone alone typically goes for $399 or more at retailers like Amazon, as a comparison. Need Pixel 3a XL? B&H has it for $429 with the same added accessories thrown in. You’d typically pay $479 at other retailers ahead of the extra bonuses.

Also features a built-in thumbprint reader to unlock your device. Amazon customers give it solid ratings and we did the same in our hands-on review.

Trevor Daugherty -

Amazon is offering a particularly notable Pixel 3 deal this morning, dropping Google’s flagship Android device down to $430 shipped. That’s down nearly $300 from the regular going rate and $39 less than our previous Prime Day 2019 mention. The larger Pixel 3 XL is now $599.99, which is also a $299 discount from the typical price. Pixel 3 sports Android 9.0 Pie, offers an OLED display with HDR, 12MP camera and more. At this price, it offers some of the best value for your money in the mid- to upper-tier of smartphones available currently. In our hands-on review, we called it the best Android device on the market and better than some of the latest generation iPhones.

LG’s new Smart Air Conditioner is energy efficient, portable and works w/ Alexa + Google Assistant

My first interaction with a portable air conditioner was not a good one. The central air failed at my business and I needed to ensure the climate was acceptable until the problem could be resolved. Cooling performance was impressive, but the omission of smart functionality was rather disappointing. LG is tackling this problem with its new smart air conditioner.

It’s a portable unit capable of cranking out 14,000 BTUs and is not LG’s first attempt at making a smart air conditioner. The new product joins several other window models that churn up to 22,000 BTUs. It sports LG’s proprietary Dual Inverter Compressor, allowing it to keep noise to a minimum while providing a 40% improvement in energy efficiency.

Ecovacs’ latest robot uses AI to inch us closer to a fully automated vacuum experience

Simon Walsh -
Home GoodsSmartphone AccessoriesNewsCES 2019Google

At CES 2019, Ecovacs Robotics showed off its latest robot vacuum, the Deebot Ozmo 960. What differentiates the Ozmo 960 from some of the company’s other high-end cleaners is the implementation of AI that detects obstacles like cables, socks, and more. Once it finds these items, the robot avoids them entirely so it doesn’t clog itself and or damage the item in question.

Without a doubt, this is a feature that every robot vacuum should have, but don’t. Thankfully this type of innovation is bound to expand throughout the rest of the market since it is what consumers expect from automated devices.
