The last long weekend of summer has arrived, and with it, a slew of cart-worthy deals. While summer won't officially end for a few weeks, something about Labor Day feels like the last hurrah, and it makes for the perfect time to snag on-sale gadgets to set you up for a smooth fall and holiday season.
WIRED’s tech team has curated the top picks, from high-quality headphones and Apple AirTags to Dyson vacuums and Apple AirTags. Each item has been tested and loved, and is a top pick from our guides ranging from headphones and speakers to vacuums and chargers. The best Labor Day laptop deal takes $700 off the HP OmniBook Ultra 14, making it a steal at $1,200 with 32 GB of RAM. You can also get $5 off a single AirTag or $10 off a four-pack.
If you're a Google Pixel user and you need a new case, Dbrand makes one of our favorite cases for Pixel phones—especially if you're in the market for a clear one. Its Pixelsnap-certified magnets are strong, the edges around the camera are slightly raised for extra protection, and it's grippy. There’s no plasticky texture, either, which is nice to find on a clear case. The charging tray from Courant is, simply put, gorgeous. It comes in both leather and linen finishes, and there are two chargers built into it for your phone and your wireless earbuds. The left charger is MagSafe-compatible, while the right side is a Qi charger you can use with either Apple or non-Apple products.
The best MagSafe car mount is usually pretty affordable, but this discount makes it even more attainable. It's well ventilated and sticks supremely to any flat surface. It's compatible with any MagSafe phone (or any magnetic phone case, which yours should be regardless of operating system.) For home, Bissell makes our favorite affordable vacuums. The PowerClean and PowerClean FurFinder are both excellent, affordable choices that will still get you solid power, cleaning attachments, and a vacuum you can count on. The PowerClean is often on sale, and a good choice unless you want the special FurFinder attachment for pet hair. Our top robot vacuum has dropped down to the best deal we've seen. It's often on sale for $850 and regularly jumps back up to its full $1,400 price. But right now, you can get it for just $750. Built-in AI intelligently cleans tricky messes, and the extendable arm can reach places other vacuums can't. It also empties its own dust bin when cleaning is done, and it can even lift itself out of a situation when it gets stuck (most of the time).
