Camping with the whole family sure is a lot of fun, but it can quickly turn into a nightmare if you’re not geared up with the right tent. You wouldn’t want to get cramped in a tent that is too small or get soaked while sleeping as water seeps through everywhere, would you? An excellent option is the Big Agnes Flying Diamond 8 Tent, and it’s currently discounted on REI. With this deal, you’ll only be paying $640 instead of its usual $800 price tag.

The Flying Diamond 8 is highly recommended as a family camping tent. It’s spacious, easy to set up, able to withstand a wide range of weather conditions, and equipped with plenty of storage options, making it an excellent choice even for serious campers.

Crafted from durable yet lightweight materials, this tent is easy to carry and transport. The webbing and buckles are color-coded which eliminates the guesswork and confusion about which part goes where, meaning less time for assembly and more time exploring the outdoors. The tent also has a two-door design which makes it convenient for more than one person to enter and exit the tent without disturbing others. Both doors have closure options for ventilation (mesh only) and full weather protection (polyester layer).

This tent offers plenty of space for the family to stretch out and relax. There is an additional fabric wall included if you want to create a two-room layout: One side can accommodate six sleeping bags and two on the other. And with two vestibules, 16 built-in mesh pockets, and mounted loft loops, you can store your equipment, gear, clothing, and other belongings within easy reach.

An all-season camping tent, you can count on the Flying Diamond 8 to shelter you from a variety of climates. The body, fly, and floor are all made from breathable polyester and polyester mesh and coated with polyurethane to ensure a waterproof yet lightweight finish. All seams are also sealed with waterproof, solvent-free polyurethane tape for extra security in wet conditions.

Take your family to an exciting outdoor adventure with the Big Agnes Flying Diamond 8 Tent. You can get the wine/tan variant on REI at a discounted price of $640.

Bissell CleanView XR price drops even lower for Black Friday deal

The Bissel CleanView XR tackles a dirty floor.

Thanksgiving might be behind us but you're totally pardoned if you made a mess. You still have to clean it up, but you're pardoned for making it. Luckily this Black Friday vacuum deal just landed and it's a good one — the Bissell CleanView XR has dropped its price and it is 42% off. Originally $200, you can get it today for $115. It's really a special Black Friday deal that you very well might want to pick up now if your old vacuum isn't sucking things up with the same gusto it used to this Thanksgiving day. Of course, there are robot vacuum Black Friday deals and Dyson Black Friday deals that this offering from Bissell has to compete with, but we still think it's worth your time to look at. To see it yourself, tap the button below, or keep reading to get our take on the offer.

Why you should buy the Bissell CleanView XR
Bissell's CleanView XR is, in many ways, a very typical stick vacuum of the modern era. And, with a $115 price tag, that's actually a strength because the price is much lower. It has the standard stick with the tangle-free brushroll, has no cord, uses LED lights near the floor surface to help you detect dirt and dust, has alternate heads for cleaning cars and corners, and has an easy-dump tank. If you've bought a vacuum in the past couple of years, you're probably already accustomed to these features and love them, meaning this vacuum should easily fit in with the life that you already live. Ultimately, we find it amazing how average this vacuum cleaner is at this price. There's even an allergen filter for your pet's hair to keep everyone in your home a little less sneezy. It's just not the kind of package you expect for $100.

This Motorola Razr Plus deal cuts the price by $200

Foldable phones have become a lot bigger in the past few years after Samsung spearheaded the charge with the Fold and Flip phones. Of course, it's still a relatively new market and tech, so if you've been considering grabbing one, then you know that they can be quite expensive, especially since they are some of the best phones out there. Luckily, you can get a pretty solid $200 discount on this Motorola Razer Plus, bringing it down to a more affordable $800 and giving you access to a great foldable phone experience.

Why you should buy the Motorola Razr Plus
While the Motorola Razr Plus may not seem like a cheap option compared to something like the Samsung Z Flip 6, it actually is, given that it's a more premium version of the standard Motorola Razr. In fact, when we got our hands on it we felt that it was ". . . a phenomenal phone. It's fun, well-made, and one of the best foldables you can buy." Ironically, one of its biggest downsides was the price, which is very much rectified with the $200 that this deal comes with.
