Today’s best deals include a range of Roomba robot vacuums, internal SSDs from Samsung and SK Hynix, one of the best blenders money can buy, and LG’s well-reviewed 48-inch C2 4K TV. LG’s C series TVs have been widely praised for delivering inky blacks, great contrast, wide viewing angles, smooth motion, and gaming-friendly features.
Compared to the C1, the 2022 C2 improves peak brightness (specifically the 55-inch size, not the 42- and 48-inch models) and supports 48Gbps of bandwidth (up from 40Gbps) up to four HDMI 2.1 ports . The C2 also supports Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision, as well as a variable refresh rate for smoother gameplay. The 48-inch C2 is currently $20 shy of the lowest price we’ve tracked, about $650 off MSRP and at least $100 off regular street price.

Samsung’s 980 Pro internal SSDs have become a crowd favorite for building high-performance gaming PCs or upgrading storage in a PS5. Samsung rates its write speed at up to 7,000MB, and it comes with or without a heatsink. It has been on sale for the past few weeks at a lower price than usual. So, even though it’s not currently at the lowest price we’ve tracked, it could still be a good pick up. If you get one, be sure update the device firmware in the latest version. Samsung’s 980 and 990 SSDs have recently been suffering from some reliability and data loss issues, but Samsung says it has addressed the problems with updated firmware.
If you’re a bit tired of Samsung drives and don’t mind not having a heatsink included, SK Hynix’s Platinum P41 internal SSD is about the same price and has almost identical specifications. It also has been circle being checked as one of the best internal SSD in its category.

Topping our deals on smart home and home appliances is the Vitamix 5200 blender. this is wide considered one of the best blenders you can buy, and the seven-year warranty plays no small part in creating that distinction. It’s also my blender of choice for massive frozen fruit smoothies every morning and has proven capable of blending nut butters, pureeing soups, and everything in between. There aren’t any preset blending modes, but variable speeds from one to 10 provide all the range you need.
The Vitamix 5200 has an MSRP of $550, but it has hovered around $430 for most of the year. At $380, it’s the lowest price we’ve seen outside of the very short-lived Black Friday pricing. We also have deals on a range of iRobot robot vacuums that all match their own record lows.
