Preparing dinner? Amazon takes $72 off this Philips pasta and noodle maker

It's one thing to have cooked store-bought noodles and another to make pasta completely from scratch. But it's nothing pasta maker can't accomplish. Consider yourself in luck, Amazon slashed 29% off the Philips Viva Pasta Maker. 

You’ve probably made your own bowl of pasta with a pack of store-bought noodles and a dollop of sauce. However, it’s one thing to have cooked premade noodles in a pot of boiling water and another to make pasta completely from scratch. It may sound intimidating at first, but it’s nothing a few eggs, some flour, water, and of course, a great pasta maker can’t accomplish. Consider yourself in luck because ahead of Amazon Prime Day this month, Amazon has slashed 29% off the Philips Viva Pasta Maker from its original price of $250.

For $179, you can forget your fear of making dough because the all-in-one pasta maker automates the whole process. All you have to do is load the ingredients, select function, and the Philips Viva Pasta Maker mixes, kneads, and extrudes two to three servings of fresh pasta in just 18 minutes. The unique stirring bar design ensures that the flour is incorporated with the liquid as it tumbles through the mixing chamber, while the long kneading tube attests to the dough’s consistency so texture and taste are never compromised.

Customize your pasta experience with three of the classic pasta shapes and the free colorful recipe book included in this deal. Pasta may be an all-around staple but the perfect pairing is in choosing the right pasta variety to complement your cooking style as well as the base, be it tomato, cream, or oil. Explore the endless possibilities you can make with or infuse into penne, spaghetti, and fettuccine that goes beyond the type of sauce you pick. For instance, try going with gluten-free flour, or adding nutritious ingredients like spinach, squash, and/or spices for that burst of color and flavor.

This pasta maker not only saves you time and effort, but also some much-needed counter space. The compact design makes for easy storage and setup on any applicable flat surface. Cleaning is also a breeze, as the detachable components can be dismantled and washed in the dishwasher or preferably by hand as Philips recommends.

Patrons have assured this product’s build and quality with the notable reviews and questions published along with this incredible deal. Amazon lets you have the Philips Viva Pasta Maker for $179, which saves you more than $70. Snag yours now and enjoy homemade pasta like no other.

Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.

Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.

With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.

Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
