Best robot lawn mower deal
Summer is officially coming to an end, but Labor Day is finally here. While saying goodbye to summer feels a bit sad, the cooler weather is rolling in, and we've got one final long weekend to kick back and save before fall sets in.
If you're looking for a seasonal refresh, big-box retailers are offering huge discounts across almost every category. It's the ideal time to upgrade your mattress, stock up on outdoor gear during the REI Labor Day Sale, or grab a 4K TV just in time for kickoff ahead of the NHL and NFL seasons.
We won't see discounts this big again until Black Friday, so now's the time to act — especially with tech and appliance prices continuing to climb. We're tracking the best Labor Day deals live all weekend long across Apple, TVs, mattresses, laptops, and home essentials.
Best Apple deals
Why we like it
The Apple iPad Air with an M4 chip is something to behold. It's a step up in performance from the previous M3, and it's super lightweight and thin. It's also powerful and smart enough to handle intense programs like Final Cut Pro, making it a great option for creators and artists.
Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth reviewed the M4 iPad Air and wrote, "Artists and note-takers will definitely appreciate this one."

Why we like it
For Labor Day, the Queen-size DreamCloud Classic Hybrid Mattress is marked down to $699, which is up to 60% off.
It's a 12-inch hybrid that balances comfort and support, using a cooling fiber cover, an inch of pressure-relieving memory foam, and individually wrapped coils so you don't feel it every single time your partner tosses and turns. You also get a 365-night home trial and a "Forever Warranty" so you aren't stuck with it if you hate it.
If you're upgrading your whole setup, I highly recommend grabbing a base while you're at it. I actually have the Bamboo Platform Bed Frame they have on the site, and it genuinely only took me 20 minutes to put together.

Save $1,102.00
Why we like it
If you're hunting for the best Labor Day TV deal to carry you through football season and winter movie nights, the 65-inch TCL QM8L is down to $1,397.99 at Amazon, which is the lowest we've ever seen at Amazon.
Instead of cutting corners to hit a price point, this panel delivers high-end specs: 4,000+ local dimming zones and up to 6,000 nits of peak brightness eliminate haloing, so dark scenes look black rather than washed-out gray.
You're also getting a native 144Hz refresh rate for live sports and gaming, a 7000:1 contrast ratio, built-in Audio by Bang & Olufsen, and Google TV built right in, so you aren't fighting three different remotes just to open an app.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! It's the last legitimate savings event before Black Friday. Retailers use this long weekend to clear out their current inventory to make room for holiday stock, making it the best time of the year to buy big-ticket items like mattresses and large home appliances.
If you want a new screen for football season, buy it now. Black Friday will always have cheaper doorbuster TVs, but those are usually lower-tier, stripped-down models. High-end and mid-tier screens see heavy enough price drops this weekend that it makes zero sense to wait three months just to save an extra $40.
Mattresses and outdoor gear. Labor Day is historically the mattress industry's biggest weekend of the year. It's also the exact moment hardware and sporting goods stores desperately try to get rid of their summer inventory, meaning you'll find the best prices of the year on patio furniture, grills, and camping equipment.
Gaming consoles, video games, and small smart home gadgets. Unless your kid needs a laptop for school today, you're much better off waiting until November for PlayStation discounts, Nintendo Switch bundles, and cheap smart speakers.
