A useful and semi-versatile appliance you might not think about on the regular is a mini fridge or mini refrigerator. You probably already have a standard fridge. But a mini fridge allows you to extend your coverage to another area of your home. For example, a patio or lanai, an office, a game room, or even an entertainment or movie room. You can place the mini fridge in the room and cut down on the time you spend going back and forth to the kitchen. I don’t know the size of your home, but I do know when it’s time to relax, it’s better to not have to go far for a beverage or some snacks. The Whirlpool 2.7 cubic feet mini refrigerator on sale today at Target would take care of that. Normally $150, it’s only $110 today, saving you $40. Go ahead, you know you want a place to stow your brewskis.
This isn’t a standard full-sized fridge, so you’re not going to be using it to store a ton of food. It offers 2.7 cubic feet of space across two shelves, with door compartments, and a 1.2-inch width freezer at the top. In other words, it’s excellent for some cold snacks, beverages, and maybe some leftovers. The door has a four-can dispenser and a 2-liter bottle storage. The shelves are also slide-out-friendly. If you need a wider or larger space you can slide the shelves out to make it.
So, why would you want a mini fridge like this? I’ll tell you. To store easy-access drinks or cold snacks where you spend most of your time. If you like to smoke cigars on a patio, have a seating area or sunroom, or have an extra room — like a game room — this would be perfect. It would also be excellent in a dorm if you don’t have a fridge in yours already.
The adjustable thermostat allows you to set the temperature, within the available range, of course. The coldest it can go is 27 degrees Fahrenheit for the freezer and 32 degrees Fahrenheit for the fridge portion.
Regardless, the Whirlpool mini fridge is on sale today at Target for $40 off. Normally $150, you can bring it home for just $110. You can’t beat that folks. It also saves you some money to stock up on drinks and snacks.
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.
