If you want to add a smart display or two to your home but you’re not sure which one to buy, you should consider going for the Google Nest Hub Max through Best Buy’s offer. It’s down to just $170 from its original price of $230, following a $60 discount. However, if you’re interested in taking advantage of this deal, you’re going to have to hurry with your purchase because we’re not sure how much time is left before the bargain gets taken down.

Why you should buy the Google Nest Hub Max

In our roundup of the best smart displays, we identified the Google Nest Hub Max as the best option for those who prefer Google Assistant over Amazon’s Alexa. Google Assistant’s Voice Match feature will recognize the voices of your family members for personalized experiences, and with the smart display’s Face Match, this becomes even more potent. You can also use the Google Nest Hub Max with the Google Home app to control your other Google Home and Chromecast devices, including smart lights, security cameras, smart thermostats, and more.

The advantages of smart displays in our smart speakers versus smart displays comparison include their ability to show recipes as a kitchen companion, stream shows that you want to catch up on, look through security cameras, and engage in video calls. You’ll be able to do all of these and more with the Google Nest Hub Max’s 10-inch HD touchscreen and 6.5MP camera. When the smart display isn’t in use, you can link it with your Google Photos account to set it up as the ultimate digital picture frame.

The Google Nest Hub Max will be a great addition to any household, and with Best Buy’s $60 discount, you may be able to afford to get multiples of the smart display to place around your home. From its original price of $230, you’ll only have to pay $170, but only if you complete your transaction before the offer ends. We’re not sure when that will happen, or when stocks will run out, so if you want the Google Nest Hub Max for cheaper than usual, it’s highly recommended that you buy it now.

Best security camera deals: Get a single camera for $30 and more

Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Camera

Whether you're working at home or still going to an office, having security cameras around your has can offer you peace of mind, but what might not give you as much peace of mind is finding the right one. Luckily, the best security cameras usually have some form of deal on them, and we've collected some of the best here for you to save you the trouble. So, whether you need a whole-house setup or just a single camera, there are deals for every need.
Today's Best Security Camera Deals
While there are a lot of great deals, our favorite is probably the Swann Enforcer bundle, with four 1080p cameras and local storage. That last bit is important if you have choppy internet and can't rely on cloud storage; plus, you don't have to deal with annoying subscription services, which is always a big plus. The downside is that it's a wired system, so you'll have to run cabling, and not everybody is willing to do that. On the other hand, if you want a wireless system, the Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Camera Security Bundle is a great option since it comes with a charging station and costs $300 for three cameras, so essentially $100 per camera for 2k and a bunch of other functions.

Of course, if you only need one camera, the Arlo Essential Indoor Camera and the eufy Security SoloCam L40 are both great options. Which one you go for depends wholly on whether you feel the need for 2k resolution or not, although if you're doing it for an indoor space that isn't too big, it might not be worth going for 2k, especially if you only need a pet camera.

Usually $150, this pour-over coffee maker can be yours for $40

Someone using the Bella Pro Series 8-Cup Pour Over Coffee Maker.

For a considerable chunk of people, having that first coffee of the day is paramount to starting on the right foot, which is why having a good coffee maker can make a world of difference. If you live with others, there's also the element of having to prepare coffee for several people, which is why larger coffee machines, like the Bella Pro Series, are a great option, and we'll see why in a little bit. Of course, the Bell Pro Series is a bit pricey if you're on a budget, but luckily you can grab one from Best Buy for just $40, rather than the usual $150 it goes for.

Why you should buy the Bella Pro Series 8-Cup Pour Over Coffee Maker
While the Bella Pro Series didn't quite make our list of best coffee makers out there, the 8-carafe Pro Series has a lot of great options whether you're a solo coffee drinker or not. For example, one of our favorite features is the pause-and-serve function, which stops the brew at any point so you can serve yourself a coffee. That way, you can sneak in a cup before others get to it or are ready, and if you're on your own, it lets you get started with your day without having to wait for the full brew time. It also has a simple one-button design that allows you to brew and warm the coffee for up to two hours, which we very much appreciate compared to smart coffee makers, which can sometimes be overcomplicated.
