This coupon drops Google Home Max to $209 (Save $90+)

$209

Beach Camera via Rakuten is offering the Google Home Max in Charcoal for $209 shipped when coupon code HOME20 has been applied during checkout. Note: You will need to be logged in to a free Rakuten account to use this code. That’s $90 off the typical rate, a $40 savings compared to current 4th of July discounts at retailers like Walmart, and beats the lowest price we have tracked in 2019 by $40. We are inundated with small smart home speakers these days. While functional, they can leave much to be desired when it comes to the quality of audio. Google Home Max aims to solve this with a large form-factor that provides “deep layers of balanced bass along with crystal-clear highs.” Rated 4.6/5 stars. Don’t forget to check out the Chromecast discount and other Google discounts we found earlier this week.

Some of my favorite gear

Anker MagSafe 8-in-1 Qi2 USB-C Power Strip

This rapidly tops off my iPhone 16 and adds extra power to my desk.

If you aren’t tied to the Google ecosystem, consider Amazon’s Echo Plus for $150. I have one on my desk right now and was quite impressed by it’s audio performance. You’ll also get a free Philips Hue bulb and Echo Plus sports a built-in Zigbee hub, allowing you to more affordably expand your smart home.
