On sale for $698 from its original price of $800, this Sony 55-inch 4K Ultra HD LED TV is the venerable electronics company's mid-range 2020 model. Its massive 55-inch 4K display is clear and detailed, with vivid color. Sony’s world-class Processor X1 powers true-to-life visuals, while HDR (High Dynamic Range) settings make sure colors stay bright.

These customers sought To Catch a Thief and wound up spellbound in the process: "Upgrading from a nine-year-old Samsung TV, this TV was quite a wow moment," raved a delighted five-star reviewer. "Pure amazement! Watching a Hitchcock movie from 1955, we were just blown away at how crisp and colorful the picture is. Sound is great if you don't need full-blown theater setup, and Bluetooth headphones are always an option. The menu is easy to navigate and I had everything dialed in in about ten minutes...One feature I do love and which works extremely well is the volume balancing . Watching a lot of older movies the music is often times extremely loud compared to dialogue, but this evens it our perfectly!"

"These are great headphones for music and movies," wrote a satisfied Amazon shopper. "...I've never been bothered by outside noise — they’re comfortable, and the sound is of good quality." Don't believe them...or us? Well, over 34,999 other reviewers have bestowed a five-star rating on these. So there!

Holding out for a less-than-half-price markdown? Here ya go: The Motorola Moto G7 Plus — on sale for only $120 (down from $250) — is equipped with 4GB of memory and 64GB of storage (expandable via microSD card). This smartphone, instantly upgradable to Android 10, also comes with a 6.2-inch Full HD+ Max Vision display that’s super sharp and bright. Meanwhile, the Moto G7 Plus features a 16-megapixel rear shooter with a five-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls and selfies. Need extra security? Or maybe you're just paranoid? You're in luck: It has a fingerprint sensor on its back.

"This phone is better than you can imagine...," raved a savvy shopper. "Excellent build quality and body materials. The screen is responsive and has a good headroom. The operating system is the same as in Google Pixel, which is much more expensive. This is faster than any (budget) phone. I recommend it — a good buy for your family members who do not need a lot of unnecessary features, and at the same time want a very high-quality device."

Why turn one outlet into a smart outlet when you can turn one into nine smart outlets? It's simple arithmetic! On sale for $54 (down from $80), the Kasa Smart Plug Power Strip HS300 is a surge protector that shields up to nine devices from over-charging, short circuiting, over-voltage and over-discharge, while also making those devices instantly Wi-Fi-enabled and smart via the Kasa Smart app for iPhone and Android phones with support for the Alexa and Google Home voice assistants. It's designed with six outlets and three USB-A ports, compatible with just about any device or appliance. And Amazon shoppers love its idiot-proof operation too.

"The ease of use of this device is it's best feature," shared a savvy Amazon shopper. "I ordered two more, one for my house and one as a gift to my technologically challenged mother....The app makes it easy to name items and put them on schedules if desired. Unlike many smart home products, I don't need a hub or separate app (other than the TP Link Kasa app) to make it work it efficiently with Alexa. I haven't had to do any resets, and after playing with it quite a bit, have not needed to repeat myself once for things to turn off and on..."

"I have a very tight upper back, shoulders, and neck from working long hours while holding a phone with my shoulder and constantly trying to type information I'm receiving from customers...This gun is even better than the one my chiropractor uses!! It barely makes a sound, penetrates deep into the muscle tissue, and causes a warming sensation in the muscles due to stimulating increased blood flow."

This flouncy frock has a flattering V-neck and stylish bell sleeves, plus it's made with gorgeous high-density chiffon. It's even kissed with spandex, so it's stretchy and comfortable (hello, dinner dates). It's available in 35 (!!) colors and prints, though we're partial to the classic little black number. No need to worry about a slip, either: It's fully lined, and has a zip in the back.

"I love this dress," one shopper reported. "I got it in three different colors and I absolutely love all of them. The fit is loose but somehow slimming at the same time. It’s great for any occasion, really. I’ve worn it uptown, to work, to parties, and to run errands. The dress length is just right and looks great with knee-high boots or even over-the-knee boots. It doesn’t wrinkle easily, which is great, especially for travel"

This floppy fish is sure to delight Clawdia's inner hunter. A catnip pouch entices her to play, plus the battery-operated flailing tail will make her pounce, bite, and attack — the fish, that is, and not your feet. Plus, the fish looks super lifelike — make sure to warn others in your household before they think the cat did some real thievery.

"I finally found a toy my cat doesn't get bored with within a day!" one shopper shared. "She absolutely loves her fish. I can barely get it away from her to charge it. Will be buying another one for backup!"
