HexClad has marked down nearly its entire catalog for the season, with free shipping and cuts that run up to roughly 50% across hybrid cookware, Damascus steel knives, and grilling gear. The summer sale has a few standouts worth flagging up top: the 7-piece Damascus Steel Knife Set drops to $399 (was $783), the Master Series steak knife set falls to $131 (was $259), and the Hybrid BBQ Grill Pan is down to $111 (was $159). The prices hold while the sale runs, and a handful of the bundles throw in a free gift on top.

I just started testing a HexClad frying pan to update some of our cookware buying guides and I’m impressed off the bat. My fried eggs have been dancing around the cooking surface like Ryan and Emma in La La Land (I just got around to watching La La Land).

HexClad Hybrid Fry Pan with Lid, 12-inch $169 (was $199)

The pan that built the brand, and the easiest way into the lineup

See It

The 12-inch Hybrid is currently on my stove and it will have a pound of ground beef in it later. With a laser-etched stainless steel grid raised over the nonstick valleys, you can sear hard and use metal utensils without chewing up the surface. It works with induction cooktops, stays oven-safe to 500 degrees, and the tempered glass lid covers everything from a fast fry to a slow simmer.

HexClad Hybrid Fry Pan Set with Lids, 6-Piece $399 (was $691)

Three pans, three lids, and a free gift for $292 off

See It

This set covers the three pan sizes most kitchens actually reach for, the 8-, 10-, and 12-inch Hybrids, each with its own tempered glass lid. Bought together they run $292 less than the pans cost individually, and HexClad is adding a free gift with purchase during the sale. It is the practical pick if you want most of your stovetop sorted in one box without jumping to a full set.

HexClad Hybrid Pots and Pans Set, 12-Piece $699 (was $1,198)

A full cookware kit for $499 off, the headline deal of the sale

See It

This is the complete HexClad kitchen in one box, with fry pans, saucepans, a stockpot, and lids that handle nearly everything you cook in a given week. It is the most-reviewed item in the whole sale and carries the biggest dollar discount most people will reasonably go for, $499 off the regular $1,198. If you are replacing a tired set all at once, this is the cheapest moment to buy into the version you keep for years.

The post HexClad just dropped its summer sale with site-wide discounts on everything it makes (including pots and pans) appeared first on Popular Science.

The Dreame L20 Ultra isn’t the company’s newest model, but it’s still a great robovac / mop hybrid that offers strong performance while requiring very little day-to-day maintenance thanks to its included trash bin and AI obstacle avoidance. Verge readers can get for its best-ever price right now. Originally $1,400 when it launched in 2023, it’s down to $279 from Wellbots with code L20VERGE.

What makes the L20 Ultra so great at this price is that it can do a lot on its own — so much more than other robovacs at this price point. The included base station automatically empties the vacuum’s dustbin, washes and dries the mop pads, and refills the robot’s water tank between cleaning sessions. The L20 Ultra also offers reliable AI-powered obstacle avoidance and can quickly map your home’s layout, meaning you don’t need to babysit it as it cleans. Thanks to its large dust bin, you can ignore it for up to 75 days without having to empty it yourself. 

The robovac does a good job of cleaning up carpets and hardwood floors alike, thanks to its 7,000Pa of suction power. What’s more, its dual oscillating mop pads extend when needed to clean along baseboards and in corners. It can lift the mop pads over carpets, or return to its base station to have them removed.

Of course, being a three-year-old robot vacuum, it lacks some of the upgrades found on newer models. For example, the $1,349.99 ($150 off) Dreame X60 — currently one of our favorite robovacs — offers a whopping 35,000Pa of suction, two rubber brushes, and a motorized swing arm that can climb over taller thresholds between rooms. Even without them, the L20 Ultra still offers a lot of premium features that aren’t typically offered at this price.

Three more ways to save

• Through July 16th at 2:59AM ET, Prime members who are new to Audible can get three months of Audible Standard for free, a savings of roughly $27 compared to paying the regular $8.99 monthly price. The plan gives you one credit to purchase a new audiobook each month from Audible’s vast library, which includes bestsellers and classics, and they’re yours to keep forever, even if you end the subscription. You’ll be renewed at the regular $8.99 per month price unless you cancel at the end of the promotional period.
• Woot is selling the last-gen Bose Soundlink Flex portable Bluetooth speaker in refurbished condition for $69.99 with a one-year Bose warranty. That’s $80 less than its original retail price. The portable Bluetooth speaker isn’t all that different from the newer model, and can deliver surprisingly expansive sound quality for its size. It also boasts a rugged IP67-rated design for dust and water resistance, and it lasts up to 12 hours on a single charge. Its controls aren’t the most intuitive we’ve used, and it lacks support for higher-res AAC and aptX codecs, but we think those flaws are easy to overlook at this price.
• You can buy two Ring Cam Indoor cameras for $49.98 (normally $99.98), making the second camera free, at Amazon. The wired 1080p cameras sport physical privacy covers that turn off audio and video recording. They also include an adjustable mount, a built-in siren, color night vision, and two-way talk. If you subscribe to a Ring Protect Plan, which starts at $4.99 a month per device, you’ll get notifications for people, packages, and vehicles, as well as access to recorded video history.

Smart lighting company Nanoleaf has been acquired by OneRobotics, the parent company of SwitchBot. In an exclusive interview with The Verge, Nanoleaf CEO Gimmy Chu says the company will remain independent and that he and his cofounder and COO, Christian Yan, will continue to run it. "Nothing is changing operationally," says Chu, adding that there are plans for product integrations between the two smart home companies.

The sale, which Chu characterized as "more of a merger," will provide Nanoleaf with significant resources, including a cash infusion that will, among other things, help the company grow its team at its Toronto headquarters. I …
