Best smart speaker deal

$99.99 Save $35

Why we like it

The Amazon Echo (4th gen) is a dorm room must-have. This smart speaker can play music, set alarms, timers, and reminders, control compatible smart home devices (if you have a smart plug), and even make calls and get news and weather updates — all with just your voice or the Alexa app.

The Echo Dot (5th gen) and Sengled Smart Color Bulb bundle is a great alternative if you're trying to save even more money and space. It’s on sale for $49.99 at Amazon, so it's about 20 bucks less than buying the devices separately.

Best coffee maker deal

Opens in a new window Credit: Nespresso Our pick: Nespresso Vertuo POP+ by Breville $99.99 at Amazon
$129.95 Save $29.96

Why we like it

The Nespresso Vertuo POP+ by Breville is compact enough to fit on a dorm room desk, but it has the power to brew both coffee and espresso. It has a 25-ounce water reservoir and brews five cup sizes, including five-, eight-, and 12-ounce coffees and single or double shots of espresso. This little machine could save you at least 15 minutes standing in line at the campus coffee shop every day. (It also comes in a variety of colors and is the same price as a Keurig, but brews better-tasting coffee.)

Best entertainment deal

$129.99 Save $50.00

Why we like it

The INSIGNIA 32-inch Class F20 Series Smart HD Fire TV (NS-32F201NA23) is big enough to stream and game on from your bed, but small enough to fit on a dorm room desk. (It’s also way better than streaming on your laptop.) At just $79, this Fire TV is a steal and will make your dorm room feel more like home.

Best cleaning supplies deal

Opens in a new window Credit: MRS. MEYER'S Our pick: Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Kitchen Basics Set $14.48 at Amazon
$21.20 Save $6.72

Why we like it

The Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Kitchen Basics Set includes a multi-surface cleaner, hand soap, and dish soap. This specific bundle features the lavender scent, but you can get it in others like basil or lemon verbena. Mrs. Meyer's is a cleaner option that won’t cost you an arm and a leg — you can also save up to 15% when you subscribe.

If you want something even more eco-friendly, I recommend anything from Cleancult. They’re a little pricier but anti-plastic and have refillable cleaners and hand soaps. (I use Cleancult all the time. They’re the only cleaner I have under the sink besides white vinegar and Windex, and the basil scent smells so good.)
