Match paint colors like a pro with the D battery-sized color muse device

COLOR MUSE in action2
Unless you buy a pallet’s worth of the same paint, color matching that certain blue you’ve fallen in love with is often a major pain — if not damn near impossible. However, with the recent launch of a small gizmo dubbed the Color Muse, anybody has the ability to quickly identify name brand paint and flooring in a mere matter of minutes. That is it. No more thinking you bought the correct color only to find out it is an entire shade off the original. With Color Muse, stress related to finding a proper paint match is a thing of the past.

Retailing for $49 via the popular anything and everything online shop Amazon, Color Muse not only boasts the ability to quickly match colors but it also has the capacity to tell users exact brands. Perhaps it is an English Custard-type yellow someone is after from a company like Sherwin-Williams — color muse’s color match brings up the possible color, as well as potential matches from other companies as well. The device even lets owners set up personal project templates and connects via Bluetooth to an iOS or Android-compatible smartphone.

“Color muse is a must have for lots of different people and uses,” the company said. “It’s a no-brainer for pros like interior designers, paint contractors, and facility managers. For all you home improvement do-it-yourselfers, Color muse can easily pay for itself in a weekend, saving you numerous trips back and forth to the hardware store to compare paint chips and such. Smart salespeople of everything from furniture to floor covering will use Color muse to set themselves apart –- all for under $50.”

Comprised of a scanning sensor outfit with calibrated LEDs, the color muse is no bigger than a large D battery, meaning it is easily storable in a small tote, purse, or bag. Furthermore, the built-in battery features the ability to scan 3,000 times on a full charge before requiring more juice — via a USB charger, of course — and can stay dormant for up to six months without needed to be recharged. A technology some four years in the making, color muse is any interior designer, home owner, or hobby painter’s dream come true.

There are a lot of great options from the FLOOR ONE S5 to the Carpet One Cruiser, helping you clean, well, whatever it is you need to clean, from a wood or tile floor to a shaggy carpet.

Now's your chance to save big, get your house spotless, and prep for the big holiday takeover. You already know you'll be cleaning tons before all the family arrives, anyway. Let's take a quick and closer look at what those Black Friday deals are, shall we?

 
PURE ONE A50S -- $239, was $329 27% off
Comparatively, the PURE ONE A50S has similar features to the PURE ONE Station 5. Examples include the iLoop Smart Sensor Technology, which detects surface dirtiness and auto-adjusts cleaning power, PureCyclone Technology, and a five-stage filtration system. Where the PURE ONE A50S stands out, however, is thanks to its exceptional 185 watts of powerful suction. The new-to-brand 3DSense brush intelligently boosts suction power when high levels of debris are detected, and it does the same around edges -- get those baseboards clean once and for all! Moreover, the 70 minutes of use on a single charge means you can clean virtually your entire home, and the large capacity dustbin reduces how many times you have to empty it, as well. The 180-degree foldable design allows you to get into tight or hard-to-reach spaces, plus the 120-degree wide-angle headlight illuminates your path. This deal saves you $90.

At any rate, let's get into it and just know, now's the best time to save on smart home tech.

Before we dive in, did you know that Roborock actually sent a robot vacuum into the cold reaches of outer space? The vacuum in question was actually the S8MaxV Ultra, the one and same included in the Black Friday deals below. It made it into outer space, remained operational with several features activated, and made it back to Earth all in working order. Pretty impressive. It was an amazing achievement, but perhaps even more amazing, right now, are these deals.
