Both Lowe’s and The Home Depot carry many of Wirecutter’s recommended home improvement tools, along with a good number of our smart-home picks, too.

Deal price: $700; street price: $900
Read our review of the best washing machines (and their matching dryers).

Our top-performing top-loading washing machine pick, the LG WT7300C, is down to $700. Although they don't remove stains and gently handle fabric like a front-loader, top-loaders can be great for odor resistance. This is the first deal we've seen on this efficient and reliable washer, so now is a great time to save if you're a fan of the top-loading washer design.

Deal price: $180; street price: $227
Read our review of the best electronic cutting machines from Cricut and Silhouette.

Our top electronic cutter pick, the Cricut Explore Air 2, is available for $180. This machine may not be as fast as other electronic cutters, but it makes up for this by offering an impressive library of projects and images, smooth cutting, and the easiest-to-learn software. We typically see markdowns like this sell out fast, so snag this handy tool while you can.

Deal price: $18; street price: $25
Read our review of the best Bluetooth tracker.

Our top Bluetooth tracker pick is down to $18 right now. Although it's not the best price we've seen on the Tile Mate (2020), it's still worth considering if you you're tired of losing your keys. In the latest iteration, the Bluetooth range is expanded to 200 feet and, similar to the 2019 version, it contains a rechargeable battery with a longer lifespan.

Google Nest Hub Smart Display
Deal price: $50; street price: $90
Read our review of the best smart display for Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

Right now, you can snag our useful smart display without the camera pick, the Google Nest Hub, for $50. This is the lowest price we've seen for this pick, which offers most of the same smart home capabilities as the Hub Max, so if you're looking for a compact smart display that doesn't have a built-in camera, this is a great opportunity to save.

Amazon Echo Dot Smart Speaker (3rd Gen)
Deal price: $19; street price: $30
Read our review of the best Alexa speaker.

Down to the same price we saw on Prime Day, the Amazon Echo Dot Smart Speaker (3rd generation) is back on sale for $19 with store pickup. The small smart speaker is a great way to bring Alexa into other parts of your house cheaply—especially if speaker quality isn't your main concern. This deal is also currently available from Amazon as well, but they're having stock issues.

Amazon Echo Show 5 Smart Display
Deal price: $45; street price: $70
Read our review of the best smart display for Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

Matching the lowest price we've seen at $45, our smaller screen Alexa smart display pick, the Amazon Echo Show 5 does everything the larger Echo Show can do, just with a smaller screen. This is a great opportunity to save if you're in the market for a smart display that won't take up too much space on your bathroom counter or nightstand.

Drill/Driver Kit combines power, comfort, and convenience in a way that none of our other tested drills do. Strong enough for any project within the home, it comes with a built- in illuminating LED and a handy belt hook for when you want to let go of the most comfortable grip we've ever held.
