The official end of summer doesn’t have to be a bummer. Labor Day weekend marks the end of the season with a long weekend and, our favorite, a slew of sales. However, you don’t have to wait until Labor Day to take advantage of the seasonal savings. We’ve started seeing early Labor Day deals on Amazon for a variety of home security essentials, lawn care tools, and power stations.
Amazon Labor Day Home Security Deals
Top brands like Arlo, Ring, and Blink are on sale for up to 50% off, allowing you to kit out your home with the latest security technology. The Arlo Essentials XL is an outdoor camera that doubles as a motion-sensor spotlight. It features a two-way speaker for you to communicate with delivery people or alert suspicious prowlers that you are watching. It features a 2K camera for exceptional clarity, providing a full picture of what’s happening in your driveway or front yard.
For those who just want to know who’s at the door, there’s the ultra-simple Ring Video Doorbell. It’s easy to set up and features a user-friendly app for monitoring the camera feed. It also offers two-way talk and has a wide-angle camera, allowing you to see people from head to toe. My parents have had a Ring camera at their house for years and love it. They already had a reliable alarm system and wanted a bit of extra security without fussy installation, and one that was easy to operate.
Amazon Labor Day Generator Deals
In testing power banks, Jackery and Bluetti, in particular, have proven reliable for both power outages and outdoor excursions. The Jackery Explorer was our pick for the best value power station, and it’s further discounted for Labor Day. It has a built-in emergency flashlight and both AC and DC outputs onboard. It’s designed to be lightweight and easy to carry, plus you get the bonus of an included carrying case.
Amazon Labor Day Lawn Deals
The Worx 40V Push Mower was a long-running pick for the best electric mower for small yards. That is, until we tested the Greenwork 40V Mower—no need to pick sides though, they’re both on sale right now. Another tested item that blew us away in testing (pun intended) is the 80V Backpack Leaf Blower. It had a comfortable, ergonomic design and packed a lot of power for such a compact machine. The handheld version is also currently on sale if you prefer not to strap up with a backpack each time.
