Today, for instance, we found our favorite car charger, our favorite blender for smoothies and our favorite travel mug all up for grabs for less. Keep reading to shop our top five Amazon deals of the day.
1. Save 32%: The best smoothie-making blender you can buy
Some people star their day with coffee, and others kick it off with a delicious and nutritious smoothie. If you happen to fall into the latter category, today’s your lucky day: The best blender for making smoothies (and consequently, one of our best-tested blenders overall), the Magic Bullet, is on sale for 32% off. Falling from $49.99 to $39.88 to $33.99 in your cart at checkout, this handy little machine produced some of the silkiest smoothies we made with the least amount of fuss. Its 250-watt motor was powerful enough to handle frozen fruit with ease, and despite it’s low price point, we found that it was built to last—our kitchen and cooking editor, Cassidy Olsen, used it in her own home for more than a year. Sold as an 11-piece set, you’ll get the blender, two extra blending containers and lids, a recipe book and more.

2. A 42% price cut: Our favorite-ever travel mug
You don’t have to go far to enjoy our favorite-ever travel mug, a.k.a. the Zojirushi SM-KHE48 stainless-steel travel mug. Perfect for hikes, camping and more, this 16-ounce container was “a beast” in our tests when it came to temperature retention, keeping iced drinks cold and hot drinks hot—in fact, we found our coffee actually got warmer once placed inside. It's also got a slim build that we found easy to slip into a backpack. Today, you can pick one up for its typical Amazon sale price of $25.99, which is a good $5 cheaper than you’ll find it going for at most other places. Just be sure not to put it in the dishwasher—with its easy-to-disassemble top, you won’t need to, anyway!

3. $86 off: This space-saving home theater soundbar
If you’ve been missing the surround sound audio experience you'd normally get at the movies, you’d do well to check out this Polk Audio MagnFi mini home theater soundbar. According to our testers, this pint-sized option will “[beat] the pants off TV speakers” without taking up too much space in your living room, as the bar itself only measures roughly 1 foot. You will sacrifice some bass as a result, with the sub firing into the floor, so if you’re looking for something for music, you might be better off with one of the other models on our best soundbar list. It it's enhanced TV- and movie-viewing without a bunch of extra equipment that you're after, however, this is your guy—and it just so happens to be $86 off its normal price.

4. $32 off: This Lego robot-making kit
Keeping the kids entertained without the usual go-tos of the movies, theme parks, community pools and the like can be challenging, but this Lego Boost creative toolbox will certainly help. Launched back in 2017, this 847-piece set has everything you’ll need to help you (or you little one) build five different multifunctional robot models from scratch, including motors, sensors, a companion app and step-by-step instructions. The finished robots (we’re particularly partial to Vernie the robot and Frankie the cat, pictured) will be able to dance, play guitar and more, providing for hours of creative fun. Better yet, it's currently up for grabs for $32 off its usual list price of $159.99, ringing in at $127.99.

5. 13% off: Our favorite USB car charger of all time
With airplane travel presenting some serious risks in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, driving has never been more appealing. And that means you’ll want to make sure you’ve got a good car charger on hand. Our recommendation? RavPower’s mini dual USB car charger. Before you laugh at the fact that it’s only $1 off its usual $7.99 price tag, hear us out: This little device was the absolute best one we’ve ever tested. It has a metal body that we found to be more solidly-built than the competition, for one thing. More importantly, however, it fully charged our phone in just under two hours. It’s small enough to tuck in your pocket or glove compartment, and the current 13% discount seen here make this the best price we could find on it from a reputable site.
