Now that the Pixel 9 is here, the standard Pixel 8 has been dropped to a record-low price at Amazon.

What's better than one of Amazon's best-selling Echo Dot smart speakers for cheap? How about two – and a bonus smart plug thrown in for free too?

Meanwhile, the smart plug has a suite of features to control your devices. You can use it with any existing socket and connect an assortment of devices such as chargers, lights, TVs, appliances and more.

These have been some of the surprise earbuds of the year, scoring a sweet five stars in our Nothing Ear (a) review – and now you can get them for their lowest price ever.

This Oral-B iO4 model sits between the reasonably-priced and eye-wateringly expensive electric toothbrushes from the manufacturer, making it a difficult one to easily recommend. Most of us will be happy with the cheaper Pro 3 as it works fine and has all the useful safety features you need, while enthusiasts will appreciate the more advanced smart features in the pricier iO8.
