Today’s best sales: $150 off an iPad mini, $100 off a Dyson hair dryer and more

Don’t need a full-size laptop but still want a versatile screen for reading, streaming movies and browsing social media? Here’s your next move. The iPad mini features an advanced A15 Bionic chip (meaning it’s powerful and fast), 64GB of storage, all-day battery life and an 8.3-inch liquid retina display. It’s also on sale for its lowest price ever at 30% off.

One happy shopper said: “The A15 Bionic chip makes everything smooth and fast, from browsing to running apps. The 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display is stunning—perfect for watching videos, reading or gaming. The compact size makes it incredibly portable without sacrificing performance. 64GB is ample storage for my needs, and it handles multitasking seamlessly.”

“My bigger iPad Air recently just broke so I was debating between getting another or getting the iPad mini. I am so happy that I chose the mini,” said another customer. “I love that it is light enough to carry around wherever I go but still has a bigger screen than my phone so I can do work/school on it. I have also been reading on it a lot and think that it is the perfect tablet for reading.”

Now this is a really big deal! Dyson’s famous Supersonic Hair Dryer rarely gets marked down, but during Amazon’s Holiday Beauty Haul sale, you can get it for $100 off. Shoppers love that it’s lightweight and powerful but gentle enough to reduce frizz and heat damage.

“I am so sad to report it is, in fact, worth the price,” said one impressed customer. “You can notice the difference immediately upon first use. My hair is dense, thick, wavy hair. Most hair dryers I have tried over the years take at least 10-20 minutes when drying right out of the shower. … The Dyson dried my hair out of the shower in 5 minutes. Yes, five minutes. I was stunned. The heat settings are well programmed, as the medium and low settings do not overheat the scalp over a period of time. The cold button was fast and responsive.”

If you’re looking to cut the (cable) cord, Amazon’s Fire TV Stick is the state-of-the-art 4K streaming sidekick you need. Enjoy content from all of your favorite services (like Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime) with just the touch of a button. And feel free to ask Alexa for movie and TV suggestions if you aren’t quite sure what to watch — the smart assistant is built right into the remote! Plus, the stick plugs right into an HDMI port in the back of your TV, so it’s nice and tidy.

A fan raved, “The picture quality is stunning. Watching my favorite shows and movies in 4K is like experiencing them for the first time all over again. The colors are vibrant, the details are crisp, and the sound is crystal clear. I’ve watched some of my favorite movies and TV shows in 4K, and I’m blown away by how immersive the experience is.”

Leaf blowers make raking a thing of the past, but many models are heavy, require you to drag around inconvenient power cords or blow off noxious exhaust. This one offers a lightweight, clean-running, cordless alternative that makes tackling a leaf-filled deck or yard a breeze. It weighs just 4 pounds and blows air at around 150 mph. (For reference, a much higher-priced Black and Decker leaf blower hits only 130 mph.)

“This leaf blower has been a game changer for yard clean-up!” said a fan. “It’s lightweight, which makes it super easy to handle, but don’t let that fool you — it’s powerful enough to get the job done. I’ve used it on leaves, grass clippings, and even some light debris, and it works like a charm every time. The battery lasts longer than I expected, and it charges quickly too. If you’re looking for a solid, reliable blower that won’t wear you out while using it, I highly recommend this one!”

If last season’s sweaters are looking a little worse for wear, revive them with this fabric shaver and lint remover. By gliding it over your knits, you can remove pilling to make them look as good as new again. The shaver comes with two replaceable stainless steel blades, offers two speeds and traps lint in a little compartment that’s easy to remove. You can also use it on upholstery and other fabrics that tend to pill.

More than 95,000 Amazon shoppers rave about it! One shared: “Love love love this! Recommended by a friend when I was complaining about lint nubs and pilling on some of my black shirts. I was tired of using a hand razor. This does the trick. Works like magic. Will bring life back to my wardrobe! Easy to use, only requires two AA batteries.”

This hair helper uses coconut, olive, jojoba and pumpkin seed oils to help promote growth. It also works to soften and detangle hair and reduce blow-drying time, which means less heat damage. 

Nearly 24,000 five-star Amazon reviewers say it’s the real deal. “OMG,” marveled a new convert. “This is one of the best products I have ever purchased. When I say ‘hair growth,’ I mean it. This helps your hair to grow and thicken up, and those bald spots will not be bald anymore after using this growth oil. It even grew my daughter’s edges back. I love it!”

Speaking of hair loss, this shampoo and conditioner set is formulated to treat thinning hair using a blend of 17 active herbal ingredients, including nettle extract, saw palmetto and argan oil. It also includes biotin, an essential nutrient that helps promote thickness, and niacin, which works to improve scalp health.

It’s Amazon’s No. 1 bestselling hair regrowth conditioner product, and over 19,000 shoppers sing its praises. “Makes my scalp and hair feel so clean and soft, not fly away like other shampoos,” said one user. “Has more body and volume. My hair was thinning and after two months my hair is growing back in the thinning spots and overall.”

If you’re looking for a sweatshirt that’s a step up from your standard hoodie or crewneck, this is it! Wear it anywhere you may want to level up your athleisure look. It’s on sale in a wide range of colors. 

“I rarely take the time to write reviews about clothes I buy off Amazon, but I do really like this,” said one impressed shopper. “Lately I’ve had a run of bad luck with sweatshirts being poor quality, boxy, square sleeves, etc. This one is a really nice shape, good quality, good weight and the collar feels a nice touch. I’m ordering different colors.”

One of Yahoo’s shopping writers tried these popular leggings and said they’re “just as good as Lululemon.” While that’s a big claim, Amazon shoppers tend to agree. The soft fabric offers just the right amount of compression and the leggings come in two inseams to offer a better fit. 

“Flattering and soft,” wrote one reviewer. “These leggings are super soft and flattering and perfectly high-waisted. It’s not so super tight that it squeezes and turns your sides into a muffin top, but tight enough that it’s flattering on your body.”

These top-rated sheets from Wayfair are over half off during the brand’s Black Friday Preview Sale. Unlike stiff cotton sheets, these extra-soft microfiber ones are wrinkle-resistant and feel like your favorite T-shirt. Get a set for your bed or your guest room ahead of the holidays.

“Love them!” said one of the 4,000 five-star reviewers. “Super soft and did not pop off of my mattress!! I would definitely buy them again! I have told a lot of people about them!”
