Don't be a ding-dong and miss out on this half-off Arlo Video Doorbell deal
Big savings on certified-refurbished models
Security cameras are all the rage these days, but you probably don't need six of them spread all over your house. A simple camera at the front door does the job well, and pairing it with a doorbell keeps you notified about who might be on your front porch. If you've been waiting to upgrade your doorbell, you can pick up a refurbished Arlo Essential Video Doorbell for only $68 from eBay.
Even at its original price of $299.99, we dubbed Jabra's Elite 85h headphones "the best choice in ANC headphones right now." So when we saw these manufacturer-refurbished Elite 85h units listed on eBay for just 9, less than half of MSRP, we knew we had to share the wealth. This represents amazing value for money in the wireless ANC space.
Fans of discounts should be glad to hear that Google's own storefront has just picked up a whole new category of products: Refurbs. Today we spotted a new section of the Google Store selling nothing but first-party refurbished products, all supposedly held to "the same high standards and rigorous testing of any device with the Google name." Right now all it's slinging are refurbished Pixelbooks and Google Wifi 3-packs in limited quantities.
Though the Pixel 3 may not be the latest thing on the block anymore, it's still an excellent phone with a class-leading camera. If you've been waiting for them to drop in price before picking one up, Amazon is currently offering refurbished Pixel 3s for just 0.The Pixel 3 isn't a spec powerhouse like many competitors, but the stock Android software keeps everything smooth. It sports a 5.5" 1080p OLED display, a Snapdragon 845, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, a 12MP rear camera, a dual 8MP front-facing setup, and a 2,915mAh battery. It also has IP68 certification against water and dust and fast wireless charging.
If you have issues with Wi-Fi range around your house, the Google Wifi is one of the easiest ways to rectify them. It's not the newest system out there, but its quick setup and Google integration mean that it's still a great option. Woot is currently offering factory refurbished 3-packs for just 9.99.
Chromebook deals pop up every so often, but they're usually for lower-end models with mediocre internals. But sometimes, something really good comes around, like this one. Woot is currently offering a refurbished HP Chromebook x360-14 for $389.99, a savings of $210 off the MSRP for a new model.
Bluetooth speakers are extremely commonplace these days, but one of the more popular brands is Ultimate Ears, aka UE. The cross-shaped volume buttons have become somewhat iconic, as well as instantly recognizable. Though a few years old, UE's Boom 2 is still a solid choice for some portable beats and you can pick up a factory refurbished one up for yourself on Woot for $59.99.
The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL may not be the latest and greatest phones from Google anymore, but they'll still be more than capable for most. They're still very quick, their cameras are top-notch, and they'll continue to receive software support for another two years. As part of Amazon's Deal of the Day, refurbished Pixel 2 units can be purchased for as little as $359.99, with 2 XL models coming in at a slightly higher $395.99.Both Pixel 2 phones have the Snapdragon 835, 4GB of RAM, 64 or 128GB of storage, a 12MP rear camera, and an 8MP selfie cam. The Pixel 2 has a 5.0" 1080p AMOLED display and a 2,700mAh battery, while the 2 XL has a 6.0" 1440p P-OLED screen and a 3,520mAh battery. Both phones are IP67 water-resistant, though neither has a headphone jack.

- So it turns out that this deal is the opposite of good. According to Roku, the 2018 version of the Ultra will be on sale for half off, or $49.99, starting on November 22. Walmart is also getting in on this by offering the 2018 Ultra for $48.
The smart TV game has plenty of options, depending on your preference or brand loyalty. If you're a fan of Roku, then this deal might be of interest to you. Amazon has a certified refurbished Roku Ultra (2017) for just $64.99, a nice $35 off the $99.99 MSRP. Roku's 2017 Ultra supports 4K, HDR, and HD streaming. There are plenty of apps available, including the big ones like Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, and so on.

According to the Amazon listing, Roku has certified each refurbished unit to look and act like a brand new one. You get the original accessories, plus a 90-day warranty.

Three companies are battling it out in the smart home game right now: Amazon, Apple, and Google. Given that you're reading a site called "Android Police" right now, it's a fair bet that you won't want to be locked into Apple's ecosystem. That leaves you with two choices. If you prefer Alexa to Assistant and you're looking to get some more smart speakers, Amazon is offering refurbished units of the first-gen Echo for .99, $20 off the regular refurb price.The Echo was Amazon's first foray into smart home accessories, and even though it's since been replaced with a newer model, it's still a good product. With it, you can ask Alexa questions, listen to music and audiobooks, and call/message people. The cylindrical design allows audio to disperse in 360 degrees, and the sound isn't half-bad.Refurbished Echos usually go for $79.99, but Amazon has dropped the price to .99 for today only. There are about 5.5 hours remaining as of publishing time, so hurry if you're interested. Expedited shipping is free. Hit the source link below to pick one up.Source: Amazon

Plus, a charging cradle is included.For just $64.99, you'll be able to pick up one of these bad boys in refurbished condition.

- In a statement to The Verge, Samsung confirmed that it "will not be offering refurbished Galaxy Note 7 devices for rent or sale in the US." Samsung did not reveal where the devices would be sold.
The Samsung Galaxy Note7 was one of the most disastrous product launches in recent memory. After launching to rave reviews, reports of the phone catching fire started to appear, eventually causing Samsung to conduct a global recall. Shortly after, Samsung started selling a 'safe' Note7, only for that model to start catching fire as well. Another global recall was initiated.
Boom boom goes the speaker and megaboom goes its price. If you want big sound in a portable Bluetooth speaker, UE's MEGABOOM is a great place to start, especially if you have the dough to finance it. The waterproof and shockproof speaker is often a little discounted past its $299.99 MSRP, but it always hovers around the $240 mark like it is currently on Amazon.
Those looking for an off-contract deal on fairly recent phones have a treat today: the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S4 are available in refurbished condition on eBay for 0 (Note 3) and 0 (S4) with free shipping. They are Verizon devices, but are unlocked and technically able to pick up 3G from GSM carriers, according to the seller.
If you're in the market for a new gadget but can't justify paying full price, refurbished hardware is a good way to get the most bang for your buck. While the word "refurbished" is somewhat tainted with a negative mental association, the odds are that you'll get a problem-free unit that will provide the same life as if you bought it new (in some cases the unit has simply been returned and can't be re-sold as "new"). If you can leap over the mental barrier and pick up a refurb, you can get a 16GB Nexus 7 for $150 from eBay right now.
The Galaxy Note 10.1, Samsung's creativity-minded, advanced digitizer-packing slab from last year has been a lot of places – everywhere from the crazy life of James Franco to the music stands of the Brussels Philharmonic. If you've followed the 10.1's life so far, but haven't pulled the trigger to buy a unit for yourself, you're in luck – Woot.com has a deal on the tablet, offering up the 16GB variant, refurbished, for $329.99, while the tablet, new, usually sells for around $449.
[Update: It's Back] Deal Alert: Refurbished 32GB Nexus 7 Up For Grabs From eBay Daily Deals For $189
Update 4/9/13: The deal [ebay id=321104568954 text="is back today"].
If you're in the market for a Nexus 7, don't want to pay full price, and yesterday's 1SaleADay deal left a bad taste in your mouth, eBay might have what you're looking for.
