With Fourth of July sales happening now and Prime Day less than a week away, our CNET shopping experts can help you get the best discounts with the least amount of effort.
We've spotted some great deals ahead of Amazon's Prime Day sale next week, and we'll add more as they become available.
The recently reviewed Airrobo PC10 is a mid-range robotic pool cleaner that did a very good job on our test pool, and Amazon has knocked 42% off its list price, taking it down to $350.
I'm talking about something like this Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam, which is now down to its best price ahead of Prime Day: $40 (was $80). This is an early Prime Day deal, so you'll need a Prime sub to take advantage—but if you aren't a Prime member, all you have to do is start a free 30-day Prime trial. With it, you'll also be able to score Prime Day deals next week!
All you need for this security camera is the Ring app. Once you're connected, you can peek in at any time via the Live View, and you can control the camera's position with 360 degrees of horizontal panning and 169 degrees of vertical tilting. With 1080p video and color night vision, you'll get a clear image at all times of day—and you can even talk to whoever's in the room via Two-Way Talk.
This Ring camera also comes with Alexa support, so you can integrate with other Alexa devices (like smart displays) to pull up and watch footage. Worried about what it records when you're chilling at home? Use the built-in privacy cover to block recording. With a paid Ring Home subscription, you can also unlock extra features like 180 days of event history, person/package/vehicle alerts, and more.

The MSI MAG 321CUP (catchy!) was already something of a budget design, at least in the very specific subcategory of 4K OLED monitors, at $900. With a $150 discount it's cheaper than any 4K OLED gaming monitor I've seen, at least in new condition. It has a pretty standard array of specs for OLEDs at this point, including 165Hz of refresh and .03ms response time. That's not the fastest in the world even for OLEDs, but at 3840×2160 resolution on its curved panel, it'll push your PC to the limit on the newest games at the highest settings, no matter what's under the hood.
With DisplayPort and double HDMI inputs, this monitor is a great pick if you're the kind of PC gamer who also has an Xbox or PlayStation sitting around. And with a USB-C port that can handle video and 98 watts of power delivery, it's also a good companion to a gaming laptop. It really can do it all, including give you a little peace of mind thanks to a 3-year burn-in warranty on that dispaly panel.
Amazon is showing this as a recent low price for this particular model, but there's no time limit on the sale. I get the feeling that this one, or something substantially similar, will pop up during Amazon Prime Day…but I doubt you'll find a much better price on a name brand.
