The Solo Stove Pi pizza oven for $425 ($200 off)

Use Code LaborDay15 to get the Shower Power Bluetooth Speaker for $84 ($15 off). There’s nothing to plug in since it’s powered by the water coming out of your shower, and it works with most showerheads. 📸: Ampere wired.trib.al/IowEHx2
The Luna weighted blanket for $60 ($15 off) deal is applied automatically at checkout, and while it matches others we’ve seen in the past, it’s still on par with the lowest price we’ve seen for one of our favorite weighted blankets. 📸:Luna wired.trib.al/4AXTYmE
★ The iRobot Roomba J7+ self-emptying robot vacuum for $589 ($210 off) is a great price on our favorite robot vacuum. The J7+ earned the top spot in our roundup because it has better navigation skills than its competitors. 📸: iRobot wired.trib.al/WhLhUMv
The Withings ScanWatch Smartwatch for $230 ($50 off) doesn’t look like the average smartwatch, and that’s exactly why we like it. In our detailed review, we highlight many of its appealing features, from the aesthetic to the battery life.📸: Withings wired.trib.al/et2zzvn
You'll get the Snow Peak Takibi Grill for $280 ($60 off) after you put it in your cart. Its solid, durable construction beats out similar models. Plus once you’re done cooking, you can turn it into a fire pit, and it folds to store flat. 📸: Snow Peak wired.trib.al/zuEgP1Z
