Smart home
Behold, the 21st century way to keep an eye on your home: the Blink Outdoor Cam detects motion and begins recording as soon as it senses activity. Blink app–operated, it allows you to watch what's happening right on your phone. Equipped with night vision, the Blink Outdoor Cam — powered with two long-lasting AA lithium batteries (included) — is sharp even in the dark.
"The clarity of the video and audio are excellent, and the cameras capture everything," shared a now-safe-and-secure Amazon shopper. "Detection is almost instantaneous.... I am so impressed by the cameras that I ordered two more to augment the cameras I have already installed. Setup and installation was a breeze...Video capture in daylight is high-definition, and the night vision is extremely clear..."
It saves video and audio via microSD card, so you don’t have to worry about losing it. And the two-way talk function — with a built-in microphone — lets you confront intruders or unwanted guests from afar.

Vacuums
Now, this is the kind of manual labor even we can look forward to. This hand car-vac from the folks at ThisWorx includes three different attachments, including a brush nozzle that'll dislodge pet hair and those stubborn, stuck-on spills. And this is so satisfying: Because the trash container is clear, you can watch all that debris going into the machine. Ahh. Know what else feels good? Getting one of these for nearly $30 off its original price. Talk about cleaning up!
Reviewers are loving the convenience of this overachieving sucker. "A powerhouse in a little package," raved one five-star reviewer. "This is a great little vacuum to clean the car. I bought the corded unit.... The product is excellent at getting ground-in dirt out of the car's carpets, and with the hose that comes with the unit it's easy to get into tight places.... One of the best things along with its great cleaning ability is the bag that came with the unit. It makes it easy to store along with all of its attachments. So mine rides around in the car and can be used anytime because it plugs right into the power plug (lighter)."

Kitchen
Stew and soup season is coming up, and this gorgeous Dutch oven from Lodge is made for the job. It can fit up to six quarts of your favorite meat, fish, tater and veggie concoction, and has a beautiful porcelain and enamel finish. It's Amazon's best-selling Dutch oven, too — for good reason! — and it's oven-safe for up to 500 degrees. Bonus: It's pretty enough to leave out on your stovetop as decor.
Some even compare it to a Le Creuset stock pot, which costs hundreds more. Shares one of over 22,000 five-star shoppers: "I was looking for a good Le Creuset alternative, and I'm very, very happy with this purchase," she noted. "With Le Creuset, sure, it's nice, but you're spending hundreds of dollars more for a brand. The difference between the two? Marketing. This Dutch oven does exactly the same thing. I've tried a bunch of different recipes in this pot and it all came out perfectly. Heavy, durable pot, gorgeous colors." Sacre bleu! (Which, by the way, happens to be the color this sale item is available in.)

Style
Want to add a little elan to your leggings game? Try these on for size. They have the same form-fit at the hips and thighs just like your favorite pair, but they flare out at the knee for a leg-lengthening effect. Plus, they're made of the same peachskin fabric that has made Satina's leggings Amazon's No. 1 bestsellers. Oh, and they're available in 16 different colors and styles, including stripes, florals, leopard-print, even polka dots!
"These pants are amazing!" a shopper noted. "I thought they were going to be legging material, but they’re more like a soft, breathable, polyester.... They fit perfectly! No tight part where you would get a muffin top!"

Bedding and Home
After a long day of watching TV, listening to your Beats, tracking your fitness, video gaming, securing your home, vacuuming your car, rustling up a pot of chili, brightening your smile, and hitting the town in your new leggings, you're gonna need a good night's sleep! These pillows are made from 100 percent cotton and gel-filled fiber, making them incredibly soft to touch but firm enough to provide that all-important support. Move around at night? Their no-shift construction minimizes bunches and distortion. The combo of cooling gel and breathable cotton is great for regulating your temperature in winter, spring, summer and fall.
They're also allergen- and chemical-free and won't fade or stain over time. If you want to freshen them up, just toss them in the wash; they'll come out clean and holding their shape. That's right — they're machine-washable!
"I ordered two king and two queen pillows [for] me, my wife and my teenage son," shared one five-star reviewer. "We all absolutely love these pillows; my neck pain is gone and I sleep much better now. These pillows maintain their shape 100 percent ( we have had them for 6 months). ... Comfort is important at this stage in our lives and these pillows provide it!"
