The pandemic probably broke up your usual cinema-going habits. Now could be the time to resume them … but why not improve them instead? As part of Best Buy Black Friday deals, we’ve got a home cinema projector at a big discount for you. Make your home the cinema instead when you get the Epson Home Cinema 880 for just $500, a big $100 off of the typical $600 price. But be sure to order now while the deal lasts; you can get your popcorn later.

Why you should buy the Epson Home Cinema 880

There are a lot of Black Friday TV deals going on today, and a lot of them are for really smart TVs with all of the modern features. So, why might a projector compete? Freedom. When you get a portable projector, you aren’t getting a fragile machine that’s best set up and left alone. Instead, you’re getting a tough box that you can take with you, and this is especially so with the hard plastic — but still under 6 pounds — body of the Epson Home Cinema 880. Complicated setups and plugins are out, too, with USB plug-and-play functionality and simple-to-use HDMI connection.

Coming out of high school, you might remember teachers lumbering over semi-functional projectors that popped up blurry images on the wall. The mental image of the hassle and blur might make you, rightfully, skeptical of the power of the best projectors we see today. So, right off the bat, let’s be very clear that this is a 1080p projector with 3,300 lumens of power, far stronger than the 2,500 lumens recommended in our home theater projector buying guide. To put that in perspective, it is comfortably capable of making anywhere from 33.1 inches all the way up to 320 inches of “screen.” Reduce fiddling with keystone correction that helps “rectanglefy” images, even at an angle. Sit back and enjoy yourself with remote controls. Quit worrying about lugging around speakers. The Epson Home Cinema 880 has them built in! This is a projector for the new age.

If you’re finally ready to look good (or at least a crispy 1080p) during the obligatory holiday home video-watching session, strongly consider getting the Epson Home Cinema 880 while it is only $500. That’s $100 off the typical $600 price and one of the best projector deals you’ll get this year.

Want better home security? Don’t miss these Reolink early Black Friday deals
Reolink Go PT Ultra with Solar Panel installed on roof

With a few things happening around my home, hurricanes, an uptick in crime, and a few other concerns, I recently decided to beef up my home security. After quite a bit of research, personally, I settled on a series of Reolink devices. Had I been smarter about it, I would have waited a few weeks. That's because a ton of Reolink early Black Friday deals have dropped and it's an excellent way to save a bunch of money. From wireless security cameras, for indoors and out, to smart doorbells, and an excellent smart home hub with local storage, there are a lot of options. Perhaps more exciting, however, is that there are also a lot of great home security deals. Let's not mince words and get into it, shall we?

 
Reolink Home Hub -- $85, was $100 15% off
Unfortunately, a lot of security cameras create storage concerns. If you're not storing the footage in the cloud where is it going? When will you run out of storage? Will you lose important recordings? None of that's a worry at all with Reolink's Home Hub. It's an all-in-one smart home management and storage center. Keep all your recordings offline and available via local storage, built into the hub. More importantly, it supports WiFi 6, incorporates an alarm, offers unparalleled security and privacy via AES128-bit encryption, and much more. You can connect up to eight cameras or devices, including a smart video doorbell to the Hub.

Why shop this Sonos Beam Gen 2 soundbar deal for Prime Big Deal Days?
Let's get this out of the way first. The Sonos Beam Gen 2 made it into our list of the best Sonos soundbars, which really shouldn't come as much of a surprise.

The handle of the Grizzl-E EV charger plugged into a vehicle.

If you recently bought an electric vehicle or are planning to, you'll likely need an electric car charger for your home, especially if you don't have a fast charging station nearby. Luckily, there are many options out there if you're looking to snag something, depending on your needs in terms of speed and and capacity of your current home electrical system. Either way, we've gone out and collected some of our favorite electric car charger deals for you and listed them below.
Godaig Level 1+2 EV Charger -- $120 $160 25% off

Another great budget option, the Godaig, is a 16-amp 110V-240V EV charger that will work great for anybody who plans to charge their EV overnight and who doesn't necessarily need faster charging. It has a 25-foot cable, so you don't have to worry about park orientation in your garage, and if you put it outside in a driveway, it should reach your car easily. The same goes for the installation, at least for Level 1, and the screen on the charger gives you a lot of great info right there rather than having to pull out an app to check. Sadly, you will need an Amazon Prime membership to get this deal.
