Shep McAllister|published: Fri 10th October, 13:15 2014

This microfiber towel is considered by many detailing aficionados to be the best for drying off your car. I own it, and can confirm that it's less a towel as much as a towel-shaped sponge. [ Meguiar's X2000 Water Magnet Microfiber Drying Towel, $8]

The Anker E4 13,000mAh charger is one of the most popular items we've ever listed, and you can save $3 on it today . [New: Anker Astro E4 13,000 mAh External Charger, $27 with code HIRESIST]

It's a $15 vacuum with good reviews. It even collapses into a handheld vacuum on the fly. What a world we live in. [ Dirt Devil Simpli-Stik Bagless Vacuum, $15]

This Bowers & Wilkins isn't your typical wireless speaker. With AirPlay support, a Lightning connector, dual 20W amplifiers, and its own IR remote, it's an absolute bargain at $100, or half its usual price. [ Bowers & Wilkins Z2 Wireless Speaker, $100]

We've covered a lot of deals on USB car chargers over the past few months, but I've never seen one quite like this before.

This Bolse 3-port charger comes with two open USB ports, and a built-in charging cable as well. But what makes it unique is that the built-in cable can transform on the fly from micro USB to Lightning, making it perfect for anyone who shares a car with someone from the other side of the mobile OS fence.

This is a newly-released item, but we've found its first ever deal. Just use promo code 4FGBF45E at checkout to take $2 off the price, knocking it down to $24. [ Bolse 3-Port USB Car Charger, $24 with code 4FGBF45E]

Netgear's new Nighthawk router is kind of insane looking, and offers throughput of up to 3.2Gbps, which to my knowledge is the fastest speed available in any consumer router at the moment. And of course, it comes with tri-band Wi-Fi, six antennas, USB 3.0, beam forming, and just about any other feature you could want in a high end router.

If all of this sounds appealing (and I suspect many of you are drooling a bit), if you buy it today, you can also get a free Chromecast. Even if you already have one on every TV you own, that's a Christmas gift knocked off your list. Just add both to your cart, and you'll see the discount at checkout. [ Amazon]

Well here's something a little different. This vertical mouse places its buttons on the side, so you press them with your thumb. I can't say I've ever used anything like this, but they claim it's more ergonomic, and it has the reviews to back it up. [ Etekcity Scroll Endurance Ergonomic Vertical Mouse, $15 with code M6185OFF]

If you tend to go through a few packs of those chemical hand warmers every winter, this Zippo alternative will pay for itself while looking really cool, and doing less damage to the environment. It features solid reviews, a sub-$13 price tag, and can run for 12 hours on a single ounce of lighter fluid. [ Zippo Hand Warmer, $13

It's the fastest way we can let you know about a deal, and many of our best deals only make it to Twitter because they're so short-lived.

The Das Keyboard 4 is one of the most beautiful peripherals we've ever seen, and the new thinnest mechanical keyboard. Our team, our readers, and our Editorial staffs all love mechanical keyboards, and for years Das has been hard to beat. The oversized volume knob and form factor upgrades have us hastily considering an unnecessary upgrade from our current Das Keyboards.
