If you're jealous of your friend's fancy Dyson stick vacuum, you can get a similar style cleaning device for a whole lot cheaper with this deal on the Samsung Jet 75 Pet. Ideal for pet owners, the Jet 75 Pet features a mini motorized tool that removes fine particles and pet hair on furniture, rugs, and other surfaces. Similar to our favorite lightweight cordless, the Samsung Jet 60, the Jet 75 offers an easy breezy cleaning experience that lets you maneuver from the stairs to beneath the couch and even above cabinets in one fell swoop. It's slightly more powerful with 200 air watts versus the Jet 60's 150 and lasts longer on a single charge (one hour vs. 40 minutes). The only thing the Jet 60 has over the 75 is a more affordable price. But with this 50% off discount at Amazon as of May 3, the Jet 75 is only $199. That beats the 60 and is its best price on record.
As of May 3, the Nanit Pro — the high-end baby monitor Mashable reviewer Becky Wade Firth was very impressed with — is on sale for just $192.79, its lowest price to date. And considering one of her only pain points with the luxury monitor was its steep cost (reg. $299.99), this is all the more reason to grab it ASAP. The Nanit Pro "features a clear overhead crib view, valuable sleep reports, and other bonuses such as two-way audio, breathing motion detection, and height monitoring." If you don't mind having to plan your nursery layout around the mounting situation, it's definitely a solid purchase for new parents.

Experts are expecting a doozy of a mosquito season for 2024, so you might as well prep now with the right gear. The Thermacell Patio Shield E55 could certainly come in handy when things start ramping up. It's a larger, more updated version of one of our favorite camping gadgets, with a 20-foot repellant radius and 5.5-hour battery life. The rechargeable battery powers up a heat source inside, which then draws the repellant upwards and disperses to form a mosquito-free zone. Your puchase includes 12 hours of mosquito repellant, which is unscented and requires no sprays or chemicals on your skin. The only downside is you'll have to purchase refills once your initial amount runs out. Usually $39.99, you can save 25% as of May 3 and snag it on sale for $29.98.
