And there's more where those came from — lots more. We're talking thousands of discounted items across many categories. Curious to know what else you can snag for a steal? Keep scrolling for our top Amazon Outlet home picks.
Portable? Check. Cordless? Check. Powerful? Check. This small yet mighty handheld meets all of our requirements and then some, thanks to its versatility (as in, sucking up both wet and dry messes), compact size (just 8 pounds) and three-year warranty. Just note that you'll need to purchase batteries separately, but they're compatible with all products in the brand's 12V, 20V and 60V Max line.
"I mainly use this around my garage; typically to clean out my vehicles," shared a fan. "It's awesome! Great power, small enough to get in and out of small spaces ... and lightweight. Would recommend. Would buy again."
Dry those greens in no time, thanks to this highly rated kitchen essential. It's got a large 5-quart capacity (that's a lotta lettuce) and can be used with practically any type of produce. The clear bowl also functions as a serving vessel and has a nonslip bottom to keep it from flying off the counter while in use. Grab it while it's nearly 40% off — it comes with a lifetime warranty!
"Why have I never had one of these before?!" mused a shopper. "It works so well. I used to use way too many paper towels. This gets herbs and lettuce so dry! Holds up in [the] dishwasher."
Big swaths of the country are experiencing freezing temperatures, and in frigid times like these, you'll be glad you thought to protect your outdoor spigots ahead of time. These winter essentials are like socks for your faucets, acting as insulators to help prevent your pipes from freezing — every homeowner's nightmare. This is as low as we've ever seen these for; to install them, just slip the opening over your faucet, twist the drawstring around the cover a few times and pull to tighten.
"Ordered these when the temps in our area were projected to get below 0°F for several days," explained a buyer. "We've never had a problem with pipes freezing, but hadn't had prolonged periods of that temp, either. These work. Pipes kept flowing."
When it comes to portioning out ingredients, there's no method more accurate than weighing. Scooping, say, flour into a measuring cup can yield wildly different results depending on how loosely or tightly it's packed in there, which is why having a food scale on hand helps ensure consistent results every time. This is one's a fab deal at 50% off, and our price trackers tell us it's never been lower.
"I love this scale," raved a home cook. "[It's] easy to use and has made using recipes calling for grams, etc. so so easy. ... Size is good; not too big, thin enough to store in a drawer. Very nice."
Is there any type of clutter as aggravating as shoe clutter? Give your doormat a break by storing footwear on this double-decker rack. It'll keep everything orderly and off the floor, and you can even use it to display decorative items (if there's any extra room!). It's made of 100% bamboo and can hold up to 40 pounds, and it's stackable, so you can buy a few while they're down to this low price.
"My 5-year-old helped me assemble two of these racks, so anyone can do it!" wrote a fan. "Each rack fits nine pairs of adult shoes, and we slide slippers and sandals underneath. We've owned them for a few months and they have held up well and look great!"
Every kitchen needs a set of knives, and this colorful set is sure to make the process of slicing and dicing a lot more fun. The nonstick blades allow food to slide right off, and each one comes with a protective sheath. You'll get an 8-inch chef's knife, 7-inch santoku knife, 8-inch slice knife, 5.5-inch utility knife and 3.5-inch paring knife; in short, just about every type of knife a home cook would use. All that for just 10 bucks, which is as low as this set has ever been marked down to.
"These knives are my favorite set," gushed a reviewer. "I have had them over a year and they are still just as sharp as when I first bought them. The design hasn't faded or chipped."
Feel like an accomplished chef every time you season your food, thanks to these nifty kitchen accessories. You'll be able to choose how coarse or fine your flakes of salt and pepper are, and a handy light allows you to see exactly where you're aiming. Oh, and you'll be able to use 'em about 200 times before they need a recharge. At nearly 65% off, this is as low as they've ever been.
"Very convenient to use — [I'm] able to control seasoning," wrote a shopper. "[It] holds so much more seasoning than some of the others. Charge lasts a long time ... Looks nice on the counter."
The best time to bug-proof your home is before those pesky pests come around, so go ahead and add this screen to your cart while it's down to its lowest price yet. It comes in several sizes to fit your door and has magnetic flaps that close behind you so you don't need to use your hands when they're full. It's also easy to install with just adhesive strips and thumbtacks — no power tools required.
"This was the perfect solution for my screened patio door," said a shopper. "We have a dog that has gone blind and could no longer use the dog door. We were having to leave our screened patio door open for him to come and go. This fit perfectly and he now comes and goes with ease, and the bugs can't come in. He walks through and the magnets close it perfectly every time. Highly recommend."
Here's a nifty little gizmo for you: This multitasking sink strainer not only keeps food remnants and utensils from falling down the drain, it also can be used as a stopper for holding water in the basin. Plus, it has sealing gaskets that can help prevent icky odors. It's currently 50% off, which is as low as we've seen it since September.
"This is the best sink stopper I have ever used!" exclaimed a fan. "It is easy to tell if it is sealed or open for drainage. The strainer works great to keep out unwanted things from the drain. It also looks really nice. I'm buying one for my parents and my adult children."
Last but not least, make meal prep go by in a snap, thanks to these smart shears. Because they're equipped with 10 blades instead of two, you'll be able to chop herbs and greens in a fraction of the time, and they come with an herb stripper for getting leaves off of stems in one fell swoop. Worried about getting residue out of all of those blades? There's a cleaning comb included as well. This deal saves you 50%, bringing the price down to an all-time low.
"I am not a gadget person, but I really like these scissors, especially for making pico de gallo," said a buyer. "I blaze through cilantro and green onions with them — makes my work quick and easy."
