The Best Labor Day Sales for 2020: Ring Security, Vacuums, Lenovo Laptops, and More
Cnet
Perhaps it’s appropriate that Labor Day, which celebrates the contributions and achievements of the American labor union and the workers who make our nation tick, has evolved in modern times into a sales event where regular people can save a bunch of money. And despite the weirdness of living through a pandemic, this year is no exception.
With Labor Day taking place on Monday, Sept. 7, we’re still in the early days of the sale, which for many retailers won’t kick off until next week. I’ve rounded up the best deals we currently know about — and which we’re allowed to tell you about — but check back often as we creep closer to the holiday because we’ll be adding new deals all the time.
And while you’re looking around for Labor Day deals, here are a few others definitely worth checking out:

Fixd OBD2 sensor: $20
You save $40
FixdWhen: Right now
The Fixd is a sensor that plugs into your car’s onboard diagnostic port (OBD2, for short). The sensor sends detailed information to an app on your phone to let you know about the health and well-being of your car. Regularly $60, you can get it right now (while supplies last) for just $20.
Fixd says the sensor works with both internal combustion and hybrid cars, and is able to diagnose about 7,000 error codes, which it tries to translate into plain English so you don’t just know what component is failing, but how severe the problem is and what the implications of the issue are.$20 AT FIXD

Polk has reduced the price of its S2 ultraslim soundbar for Labor Day, now $50 off its list price. It’s been cheaper — the S2 was as low as $160 in the spring, but this is still a good deal. It connects to your TV with HDMI ARC so you can control everything with a single remote control. It features five full-range drivers and a wireless subwoofer, supports Bluetooth and specifically targets center-channel audio to make sure dialogue is clear and understandable.$179 AT AMAZON

Eargo Neo HiFi hearing aids: $2,700
You save $250 with code
EargoWhen: Right now (through Sept. 8)
The Eargo Neo HiFi invisible in-ear hearing aids are available for $2,700 when you apply promo code LABORDAY20 at checkout. That’s $250 off the list price.
That’s $2,700 for the pair of hearing aids and all the accessories. If you’re thinking in earbud terms that might sound like a lot of money, but hearing aid wearers are used to substantially higher prices. In fact, it’s not unusual to pay about this much for each individual earbud rather than the complete set. But despite the far more affordable price, the Neo HiFi aids are designed to deliver really high sound quality, with features such as wind noise reduction and feedback cancellation. They’re also fully invisible in-ear buds, and rely on a “flexi palm design,” which are little treelike spikes that position the buds in your ear.$2,700 AT EARGO

Roborock S6 MaxV robot vacuum and mop: $705

The S6 MaxV includes a pair of cameras and uses what it calls “ReactiveAI Obstacle Avoidance” to identify and avoid obstacles that it encounters on the floor, so it goes around toys, shoes and the inevitable puppy accident, rather than plowing through it and turning a small mess into a big disaster.
It has a maximum suction of 2,500 Pa and uses lidar for accurate, optimized navigation and automatic room recognition. It’s app and voice controllable, and the S6 MaxV can be programmed with up to 10 no-go zones, 10 no-mop zones and 10 invisible barriers on each level of your home.SEE AT AMAZON
