Consumers looking to upgrade their beverage experience can currently purchase the Ember Mug 3 for a reduced price. The 14-ounce self-heating mug, which originally retailed for $149.95, is now available for $99.99. This represents a 33 percent discount and brings the cost down by $50 from its standard listing. The offer is available at Amazon, Best Buy, and directly through Ember for several color options.
The discounted price places the 14-ounce model only $10 above the cost of the smaller 10-ounce version. While the new price point remains a premium investment, the reduction makes the product more accessible for those who previously hesitated over the initial cost. The mug is designed to be placed on the top rack of a dishwasher, ensuring easy maintenance for daily use.
Users can control the temperature of their drinks through two primary methods. A power button located on the bottom of the mug allows for cycling through five distinct temperature presets, ranging from 125 to 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Alternatively, the device can be managed via a dedicated mobile application, offering precise control over the heating settings.
Ember states that the battery life of the Mug 3 supports keeping beverages hot for up to three hours when the included sipping lid is securely in place. If the lid is removed, the battery is expected to maintain the drink's temperature for approximately 80 minutes. This duration matches the battery claim previously associated with the earlier Mug 2 model.
With the holiday gift-giving season approaching, the Ember Mug 3 presents a practical option for individuals who work from home or for parents who frequently need to keep their hands free. The ability to maintain a consistent temperature makes it a suitable gift for coffee or tea lovers who prioritize convenience and warmth in their daily routines.
Alongside the mug discount, several other technology and media deals have been identified. Criterion Collection DVDs and Blu-rays are currently available at a 50 percent discount at Amazon and Barnes and Noble through December 6. This offers an opportunity to acquire limited edition releases of classic and contemporary films at reduced rates.
Specific titles from the Criterion catalog are seeing notable price cuts. The KPop Demon Hunters 4K Blu-ray is priced at $24.99. Additionally, The Complete Kubrick boxset, which is currently the only way to obtain 4K Blu-ray versions of all the director's films, is available for $299.99, reflecting the half-off promotion.
In the realm of accessories, Werewolf offers a six-foot magnetic USB-C cable for $12, a significant drop from its original price of $27.50. This braided cable supports up to 240W of power passthrough, providing a cost-effective solution for users seeking self-coiling connectivity options without paying a premium.
Google's Pixel Watch 5 is also part of the current sales, with a $100 reduction in price for both Wi-Fi and LTE configurations at Amazon. The 41mm Wi-Fi model is the most affordable option at $299.99, while the larger 45mm version costs $30 more regardless of the connectivity type. The watch has received praise for its improved GPS tracking capabilities.
Testing conducted by Victoria Song in the West Village of Manhattan demonstrated that the Pixel Watch 5 accurately tracked turn-by-turn movement, even in signal-congested areas. While not perfect, the device performed better than the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Garmin Fenix 8 Pro in these conditions, offering a competitive alternative at a lower price point.
