20% off/$120

With spring here and plenty of feathered friends making visits to yards everywhere, Birdfy’s official Amazon storefront is offering the Wooden Smart Bird House with an iron guard and inside camera down at $119.99 shipped. This particular model usually goes for $150 at full price, which we’ve only seen dropped as low as this same rate since 2026 began, beaten out by the $100 low last seen during Christmas sales. Today’s deal gives you another shot at a 20% markdown off the going rate, cutting $30 from the tag for the second-lowest price we have tracked. You can also find the brand’s many other smart birdhouses, feeders, and more by heading over to its official Amazon storefront here.

Apple lovers can upgrade spigots with the Eve Aqua HomeKit smart water controller down at $120

20% off/$120

Amazon is currently offering the Eve Aqua Apple HomeKit Smart Water Controller down at $119.99 shipped. Normally going for $150 at full price, we saw this 1-device package slide into 2026 at $112 before jumping up to its full rate and staying there until March 25, when the Amazon Big Spring Sale began. During that weeklong event, we also spotted the 2-device package getting its first-ever discount to $200 ($100 each). If you missed out on that discount, the deal here gives you a single controller at $20 more, and while we have seen it go lower in the past, it’s still a solid 20% markdown that saves you $30 as you upgrade your outdoor spigot.

Sleek, smart, and simple: Hands-on with the Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium 

Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium
Ecobee/Hands-on

My wife and I recently moved into a new home, and it came with your standard, no-frills thermostat. In my case, A Honeywell Home ProSeries that has no wifi or smart features of any kind and is as boring-looking as you can get. It’s also not very intuitive, and programming it feels more tedious than it should.

Our previous home had an Ecobee thermostat that we really liked, but it was a much older (and now discontinued) model and not worth the trouble of removing and reinstalling at our new house. Knowing that we wanted another Ecobee, I thought it was be the perfect time to upgrade to Ecobee’s flagship model, the Smart Thermostat Premium.

Review: Anker’s SOLIX EverFrost 2 58L Electric Cooler – a second-generation model with faster dual-zone performance

A grey cooler on gravel next to a tree

As a country girl from Mississippi, I was never much a fan of camping – for one, because that far south, temperatures and humidity were unbearable during certain times of the year, and for another, because we already lived in a rural area so I would always rather enjoy nature near home and return to the comforts of AC when I was exhausted and dehydrating. It wasn’t until I moved northward, now living in NYC for 17 years, that I came to enjoy the disconnect camping – or even just hanging out all day in a park – could afford. Of course, this usually involves filling and refilling a cooler with more and more ice as the hours went on, which is no longer a problem when introducing an electric cooler into the equation. Enter the Anker SOLIX EverFrost 2 58L Electric Cooler with its dual-zone compartments, which I’ve been testing out despite New York’s still-chilly spring weather, but will certainly be a useful companion once the recreational baseball season here picks up later this month, running through summer. Head below to read about my experience so far with this all-new model that makes ice runs a thing of the past.
