Monday is Memorial Day, and while it's a solemn day celebrating our fallen veterans, it also marks the unofficial beginning of summer and brings with it some of the season's best sales. To get your summer started right we've rounded up some of our favorite deals from online retailers around the web and included the links to their sale pages.
Be sure to check out the Best Memorial Day Sales roundup, our favorite camping gear, and the best summer outdoor deals from REI's Huge Anniversary Sale. We'd also like to highlight that a 1-year ad-free, unlimited subscription to WIRED is only $5 during Memorial Day. Subscribing helps fund the journalism we put out every day.

Biolite FirePit Complete Kit (includes SolarCarry Cover, FireMat, FirePoker) for $242 ($87 off): The Firepit's rechargeable battery powers up 51 air jets for plenty of cooking and camp fire time without getting much smoke in your eyes. It's our favorite way to exercise our pyromanic tendencies while obeying campsite rules. This bundle includes the FirePit and all the extras.
Weber Spirit II E-310 for $450 ($50 off): Weber's grills aren't the cheapest, but those extra dollars get you a high-quality grill that feels like it's built to last. The original Spirit was one of our favorite entry-level grills, and Weber grills rarely go on sale.
Kamado Charcoal Grill with Smoker for $768 ($432 off): Both a grill and a smoker, this ceramic cooker offers five cooking styles depending on which accessories you use. It's huge, too—capable of packing in 20 burgers.
Original Weber Kettle 22" Charcoal Grill for $165 ($11 off): The legendary kettle grill is still our favorite way to cook on charcoal. As noted above, Weber does not often have sales; this one isn't huge, but we'll take it.
Cuisinart Air Fryer and Toaster Oven for $160 ($205 off): Have some fried food without the greasy napkins. This model doubles as a 6-slice toaster.
DeLonghi Magnifica Espresso Machine for $645 ($105 off): At full price we deemed it too expensive for our espresso maker review, but at this price you can have your espresso and drink it too. Amazon also has it on sale for almost as cheap.
Cuisinart Ice Cream and Gelato Maker for $218 ($82 off): Forget the lines and ice cream melting on the car seat. Make your favorite flavors—even gelato—without leaving the house.
Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute for $500 ($200 off): Our main gripe when we reviewed the Cyclone V10 was its high price. Here's a chance to grab all its sucking power at a good discount. Technically this is not a Memorial Day deal, but at this price we had to mention it.
Dyson V7 Cordless Stick Vacuum for $280 ($120 off): If the Cyclone is too expensive, the V7 Animal makes a good, much cheaper alternative. Amazon also has this deal.
Ecovacs Deebot 601 Robo Vac for $190 ($190 off): We loved the cheaper Deebot M81 Pro.
KitchenAid 4.5-Quart Mixer for $160 ($110 off): It's classic enough that we've written odes to it. Every house needs a basic, solid hand mixer. Leave the Avocado Green model where it belongs, in grandma's kitchen, and grab something more stylish like black, silver, or red. Be sure to use the coupon code RZTXUF at checkout to get the additional $50 off.
Honeywell Portable Air Conditioner for $504 ($95 off): With this unit you can beat the summer heat and avoid some of the high costs of central air—cool just the space you're actually in, not the whole house. It's easier on your wallet and the environment.
Weller 40-Watt Soldering Station for $34 ($22 off): This unit is perfect for your DIY needs and powerful enough for small electronics. It also comes with a nice stand.
If you want to do your own digging for deals, here's the best Memorial Day sales pages we've found for top retailers. Happy hunting!
