Why you should buy a Blink Video Doorbell

The first thing you’ll likely notice about the Blink Video Doorbell is its circular button on the bottom half of the device. It’s enough to make it easily confusable with a Ring Video Doorbell and it is, indeed, a Ring Video Doorbell alternative. What’s important to know about the Blink Video Doorbell? It’s wireless, weatherproof, and has a 1080p and 30fps camera capable of daytime and nighttime video chats from device to phone. If you already have an indoor wiring system in place, you can wire your Blink Video Doorbell to it, though. While it does use AA batteries over more modern tech like a USB-C charger, those batteries should last you up to two years on default settings. Essentially, you can get set up in a “blink” of an eye by inserting the batteries, mounting the doorbell to your front door, and signing up for the app.

It’s important to know, however, that you can make your Blink Video Doorbell experience even better with some upgrades. The first you should consider is the for the ability to get a live view and two-way audio even when nobody is at the door. It’s not strictly necessary but it will give you increased peace of mind. The next thing you can do is get a Blink subscription plan (you get a 30-day free trial upon purchase) for $3 per month. This plan will allow for motion detection recording, person detection, and a 60-day unlimited video history in the cloud. (Don’t like subscriptions? Check out our collection of Ring Video Doorbell alternatives with no subscriptions.)

The Ninja Woodfire is a pizza oven, and electric smoker — it’s $50 off today
Ninja Woodfire cooking a pizza

I love a good grill. Who doesn't? But the key to a good family grill is something you can fire up at a moment's notice to cook some breakfast, lunch, dinner, or whatever you need, and then get back to life. It should be low maintenance and easy to clean. It should also be excellent at making delicious meals and offer a few cooking options. There are a few options in the best Ninja Foodi deals. However, something that really fits the bill is the Ninja Woodfire 8-in-1 pizza oven and electric smoker. This beast can roast, bake, broil, smoke, dehydrate, and more. It's great for making artisan pizzas with a design inspired by traditional brick ovens. But it's all-electric, and you can use wood pellets to add smoky BBQ flavors. Here's the best part, it's $50 off today at Walmart. Normally $400, it's yours for $350.
