If you’ve been holiday shopping with us over the past month, then you’re well aware of the buffet of tech discounts that Best Buy has to offer. From TVs to laptops, we’ve seen significant price cuts to virtually any piece of tech that could be imagined — and apparently, that was only just the beginning. Best Buy is currently hosting its Deal of the Day promotion, which, you guessed it, features thrifty discounts on everyday products. Better yet, these prices are the lowest of the season! Check them out below and snag some for yourself before the clock strikes 12.
SWFT VOLT e-bike for $499.99
$500 off
SWFT
Let’s start with a banger. Discounted by $500, the SWFT Volt e-bike is a fantastic option for first-timers and casual riders. The bike follows a traditional road bike design, with lower handlebars to keep your posture properly angled and comfortable when riding. It has all the e-bike essentials like a built-in monitor that displays your battery and speed and a rechargeable battery. The bike can go upwards of 19.8 mph which is just enough to stay within most city limits and sports a design that blends in with non-electric bicycles.

$142 off
WD
A reliable storage solution that won’t break the bank, the WD easystore 12TB hard drive is currently on sale for $197.99 ($142 off). At that price, you’re getting a very capable USB hard drive that supports auto backup, uploading to Mac and PC, an ample amount of storage space, and even backward compatibility via USB 2.0. If you purchased a new phone or computer during the holiday season, then now’s the perfect time to backup your old pictures and videos onto an external storage hub — like this one.

For many, an air fryer is the greatest thing since sliced bread. That’s why we even curated a list of the very best. Among that list is one made by Chefman.
