Finding the best Memorial Day sales can be hard, but luckily we do this for a living. We've sifted through the piles of subpar deals to find the best actual discounts on products that the WIRED Reviews team has tested and would recommend to our friends. The deals below are the best we've found (so far).

The Nextbase 622GW is our very favorite dashcam. It comes in a few configurations with varying prices, but this deal gets you the base model that records the front-end view. (If you want a rear view as well, there's a slight discount on Amazon, but the price isn't as good based on historical data.) The camera is easy to mount and can record video in 4K at 30 frames per second, and it offers clear views of license plates and your vehicle's surroundings. It's got solid night vision and image stabilization, and the companion app has options for Alexa-based voice support, video review, and subscription-based SOS alerts in case of an accident.

The Sonos Roam 2 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is the best smart Bluetooth speaker. It's dust- and water-resistant, has 10 hours of listening time, and is about as big as a 16-ounce beer can. It's easy to tote around and it charges via USB-C, and most important, it sounds fantastic despite its small size. It's hard to find a better Bluetooth speaker for the price. If you want a larger speaker, the pricier Sonos Move 2 is down to $336 ($113 off).

We like this little Bluetooth speaker, which has a built-in strap and sits flat in a bike basket or cupholder. It's dust- and water-resistant and boasts a 16-hour battery life, and you can even pair two of these together for stereo sound. It's just under 4 inches tall, so you can take it with you everywhere—and though it may be small, it still has great sound. There are four available colors, all of which are discounted.

We see this deal quite often, but we'd be remiss not to include this discount on one of our favorite pairs of headphones. The Sony WH-1000XM5 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) have an excruciatingly annoying name, but they make up for it in sound quality and value overall. They were just replaced with a new addition to the lineup, but this pair is still fantastic, with excellent sound quality and class-leading noise cancellation. They're lightweight, comfortable, and easy to control. What more could you ask for?

This affordable, wearable reading light is one of our favorites, and it's even cheaper right now when you apply the on-page coupon. The light wraps around your neck to provide hands-free illumination. There are three color temperatures and six brightness settings, and the light itself is available in seven different colors. The battery lasts for up to 80 hours on a single charge.

I love the Buffy Breeze comforter, especially for the summer. It's permanently in my bedding rotation and has been for years, ever since I first tested it. I struggle to sleep without a blanket, even if there's a corn sweat heat wave happening outside. The Breeze is made with silky, cooling eucalyptus fabric, making it a perfect option for the warmer months. But the blanket is still warm enough for winter use with another comforter thrown on top. It's breathable and cozy-feeling. This price makes it even better.

We recommend Quince bedding in several guides. The brand makes our favorite down comforter, the best budget bamboo sheets, and the best affordable linen sheets. Right now you can upgrade your whole bedding setup and save a bit of cash. There are options for bamboo, percale, down, and linen.

We like this filtered showerhead, which did an excellent job of removing chlorine from our tester's water. Hydroviv also says that its filters are “bacteriostatic,” which means it's difficult for mycobacteria to grow inside the filter. The company recommends a $75 filter replacement every six months, but there's another deal running that gets you the whole package for $115 if you subscribe to automatic filter replenishment, which takes out a bit of the sting of another expense.

Meal kit companies almost always have some sort of promotion going for new subscribers, but this is one of the better discounts we've seen for Purple Carrot (8/10, WIRED Recommends). It's a vegan meal kit service that offers adventurous recipes, which can be a little time-consuming but are ultimately a worthy choice for any intermediate-to-advanced home chef. When I tested the service out a few years ago, I was impressed by the use of ingredients in novel ways. You can choose between fresh and premade meals, swap your meal choices, and pause or cancel your plan easily.

Ruggable makes some of the best rugs around, and right now you can save on basically any style and size using the coupon code MEMDAY. Some items are also discounted on Amazon, though they're a bit cheaper over at Ruggable's main website. Ruggable is unique because its rugs are machine-washable thanks to a clever Velcro system that makes the patterned area detachable. This also means you can easily swap the appearance of your rugs! They're stain- and water-resistant, too.

The Mill Food Recycler (6/10, WIRED Review) is usually quite expensive, and it doesn't go on sale very often. In our guide to the Best Home Composters, we recommend this model for its large capacity and for the fact there's an option that actually lets you recycle food waste through the mail. It's a great option if you aren't a huge gardener or you don't have a compost pile. The app makes the process user-friendly, and you'll only need to empty the bin about once per month.

We recommend R+Co products in our guides to heat protectants, dry shampoos, and hair masks. This is an easy way to save if you need to restock. Just make sure to use coupon code SUN. I love R+Co's eye-catching packaging and pleasant scents, like you get with the On a Cloud Baobob Oil Repair Masque, on sale for $35 ($9 off). That hair mask is hydrating but not heavy, making it great for warmer months when your hair is more likely to get oily. We also like the dry shampoo paste, but stock is fluctuating.

This price matches what we saw during Cyber Monday last year. This little straw filters out bacteria, microplastics, parasites, sand, silt … you name it, and this will probably get rid of it. It's also super light and durable, and you can even attach it to a water bottle so you don't need to stoop down to the river to take a drink. It has an unlimited shelf life, making it a popular option for prepping an emergency bag. It can filter over 1,000 gallons of water.
