Today’s Deal is on the Belkin 3-Outlet travel surge protector.  The adapter sports 3 AC outlets and two, 2.1A USB-A ports to charge your devices at the same time.  Today on Amazon it is down to $11.99.  It is a great travel accessory as, if you are like me, you are always hunting for additional electrical outlets in hotel rooms.

The adapter has a 360-degree rotating plug so you can fit it really anywhere and it has 4 locking positions.  It has a 918 Joule energy rating to protect your devices against power surges and Belkin backs it up with a lifetime warranty and a $75,000 connected equipment warranty.  

The deal is today only and, as with most of Today’s Deals, the Belkin 3-Outlet travel adapter has free shipping for those of you who are Amazon Prime customers.

For more details and information, head over to Amazon.  You’ll note there is also a 6-outlet version if you need a slightly larger version.  That one is $22.49.

Today’s Deal is on the Google WiFi single Access Point, which will give you Wi-Fi access throughout most homes & apartments.  Right now the single unit is on sale for $99, a savings of $30.

If you have a home or apartment that is 1500 square feet or less, the single should do the job for you.  No need to overbuy.  Over that and up to 4500 square feet, the 3-Pack is what you need for your home.  That is also on sale at $269.  The nice thing is, if you get a single and add more later, it is easy to add the new ones to the network via the Google WiFi app on your Android phone or iPhone.

As part of Amazon’s Primeday sale today, you can pick up a great deal on a SanDisk 128GB MicroSD card.  The SanDisk Ultra is a Class 10 MicroSD card and is down to $35.99, a savings of 55% from the regular price.  This is a great price on a solid performing storage card that will work in most Android phones and tablets (as well as camcorders and digital cameras).

Don’t need 128GB or your device doesn’t support it?  No problem.  The SanDisk Ultra 64GB card is also on sale at only $17.99.

For those of you who have had your eye on the Huawei Mate 9, today is your day to pick one up.  As part of Amazon’s Primeday sale, you can pick up the 5.9″ phablet with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage for $449, a savings of $150.  I reviewed the Mate 9 earlier this year and it is an outstanding device with an awesome display, great battery life and excellent cameras.  At this price, it is well worth considering.

So what does $449 get you in the Huawei Mate 9?  A lot frankly.  It is a 5.9″ phone running Android Nougat, an octa-core processor running at 2.4GHz and Leica optics dual-camera setup shooting at 20MP and 12MP respectively with OIS.  The front facing selfie camera is 8MP shooter.  You also have 64GB of built-in storage that can be expanded up to an additional  256GB thanks to the MicroSD slot.  Finally, it comes with a US warranty so you are not buying an international version of the phone.

Today’s Deal over at Amazon is a great one if you are needing to pick up an external power pack for your devices.  Today you can pick up the Anker PowerCore 26800mAh External Battery Pack for $41.99, a savings of 58% off the regular $99.99 price tag.  As the name suggests, this power pack has a 26800mAh battery in it so you can easily charge most phones 6-7 times before having to recharge it.  You can charge most tablets twice with it.  It has three USB-A ports so you can use it with really anything out there:  MicroUSB, USB-C (A to C cable) and an Apple Lightening cable.  It is designed to work with any device and get you powered up and going again.  It also is in a small package.  It measures 7″ in length and only 3.2″ in width so it is easy to put into a handbag or backpack.

While the PowerCore 26800 doesn’t support Quick Charge, it does have Anker’s own PowerIQ and VoltageBoost technologies in it to provide a steady and fast charge to devices.  It has a maximum output of 6 amps with a maximum of 3 amps per port.

Today’s Deal is on the powerful and very popular Amazon Echo.  Today you can pick up the Amazon Alexa powered personal assistant device, refurbished for only $89.99.  That is a savings of $75 off the regular price.  Refurbished models are certified by Amazon to perform & function like new.  They also come with a 1 year warranty.  Yeah, it’s a great deal.

The Echo has thousands of services that you can link to it in order to get news, information and, of course, order things from Amazon.  The Echo is a truly immersive experience for those that leverage Amazon Prime and the associated services like Amazon Music.
