Amazon's selling our favorite $500 Shark stick vacuum for $268 (and 9 more fab deals)

Got rugs? Home & Garden Writer Kristin Granero named this sucker the best cordless stick vacuum for carpets after putting many to the test. She calls it "a total pickup artist," adding, "The Stratos' cleaner head is stocked with two brushes — one that grips into rugs and another that pulls in smaller particles on surfaces for additional polishing."

Among the features she appreciates are its "odor diffuser, headlights and an LCD screen that displays battery life and lets you know when the floor is truly clean. At 0.7 liters, the dust cup is pretty generous, and there's a release lever for added convenience. Unique to all other vacuums I tested, the Stratos is an automatic, meaning it adjusts modes to provide the amount of suction you need while preserving battery life (it offers 60 minutes with a full charge, which allowed me to tackle several cleans while alternating between modes and handheld use in between)."

I don't know about you, but I'm impressed — and the 46% markdown (among its best discounts of the year) doesn't hurt, either.

This is one of the best streaming service markdowns I've seen in a hot second — you're getting a year-long membership for 30 bucks (50% off)! Often, these offers only extend to new subscribers, but this deal happens to apply to returning members as well. 

With the more basic Essential plan, you'll have access to more than 40,000 TV episodes and movies, plus you'll be able to stream on three devices at a time. For $60 a year, you can opt for the Premium plan, which means no ads (aside from live TV) and download capability. 

After your first year, you'll be charged the standard $60 per year ($120 for Premium), but this deal is a fab opportunity to try it out for a steal. FYI, this offer ends Sept. 18...

These food savers aren't just Amazon hits, they're also Yahoo-editor-approved. "Durable yet lightweight, the flip-style lids were easy to clean and, when locked, the set proved to be airtight," says Granero, who named them "best food storage containers overall" after testing many brands.

She continues, "Based on our experience, the containers are also odor- and stain-resistant, so they still smell fresh and look like new after being used to store colorfully sauced foods such as marinara sauce and hot wings. Unlike some other plastic containers on the market, these have excellent clarity — especially helpful when you need to identify food quickly or navigate a fully stocked fridge." 

This is their best price since July, and they rarely dip lower outside of big savings events. 

If you've been waiting for a good robovac deal, get a load of this over-55% markdown. This top-rated model is slim enough to glide under sofas and other often-neglected areas in your home that could use a de-dusting, and to make things extra hands-off, you can control all the actions through the app. Thanks to the M210's built-in infrared sensor, this little robo-pal can automatically detect walls, stairs and more, without damaging furniture or falling down stairs. It can also run for up to two hours per charge.

It's only been on sale for less once on my watch, so this is the price to beat for the foreseeable future.

Got kids and/or pets? This fire-free find gently melts candles via the heat from its bulb, meaning no ashy messes to clean up and zero flames. All you do is place your candle on the base beneath the bulb, turn on the light and ... that's it. As the candle warms up from the heat of the lamp, it'll release its scent — without any burnt undertones. The dimmer control allows you to choose how bright you want the lamp to be; the brighter it is, the more intense your candle's scent will be.

Another cool feature? Its built-in timer, which you can set for two, four or eight hours before it automatically shuts off. Hooray for more peace of mind! And aromatics aside, the lamp itself is a looker, with its wooden base, gold metal stand and glass shade. About that price — it's just $4 higher than its lowest yet.

Fall is the best time to be in the kitchen — it's cool enough that you can turn on the stove or oven without regretting it, but the stress of holiday cooking is still months away. Of course, if you'd rather not stand over a stove or wait for your oven to preheat, that's fair. 

This versatile vessel can take the place of most appliances (and cookware, for that matter), and it'll get to work in a jiffy. Just think of all the comfort dishes you'll be able to whip up in it, from flavorful braises to soul-warming soups and stews. I love the color options it comes in, particularly Thyme Green, which feels especially autumnal. I also love the price, which is close to an all-time low.
