The best arcade machines to give as gifts this holiday season

By

An arcade machine is one of those things that instantly make your house a bit cooler.

Arcade games can be fun to play on your own or have on hand in your game room when you’re hosting a party. While an arcade game can mean something with a larger cabinet that takes up a good amount of space in your room, you can also find some these days with a smaller profile that can bring all the fun of an arcade game to your home without taking up a ton of space.

If you’re thinking about gifting an arcade machine this holiday season there are some great deals to be had on them on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Here are a few of our favorite arcade machines that are worth taking a look.

This arcade machine doubles as a cocktail table and includes a number of classic arcade games including Donkey Kong, Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Centipede, and Quix.

It has an HD camera, which isn't a ton, but it does have an impressive 130-degree field of view.

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.
