TLDR: The Spade Mini Smart Ear Wax Remover connects via WiFi and offers crystal clear video for cleaning your ears the right way.
It’s time we all had an important talk about ear wax. That’s a sentence you probably never thought you would read. But when an audiologist pops a “chicken nugget” of ear wax out of a guy’s ear, it’s time to make sure we’re all on the same page. Your hearing is important. And in case it was unclear, cotton swabs and — gasp — bobby pins(!) are no way to remove earwax on your own.
There is a safe way to handle this procedure yourself without a doctor’s office visit — and the Spade Mini Smart Ear Wax Remover ($39.99, 36 percent off, from TNW Deals) makes it simple to handle ear cleaning safely and efficiently.
The Spade Mini answers the question you’ve never been able to answer for yourself: exactly what’s in my ear. This 7-inch tool is not only designed to gently scoop earwax out of your ear, it’s got a 3MPX camera attached to make it incredibly simple.

The Spade connects via WiFi to your phone or tablet, syncing a real-time video feed right from the Spade to your screen. With an array of 6 mounted LED lights to fully illuminate your ear canals, you can carefully guide the silica-tipped Spade Mini inside, spot the offending wax, then lightly break it up and pull it out with any threat of injury. And because you actually see the process happen for yourself, you never end up blindly pushing wax deeper into your ear while you make sure to cover each and every spot.
Even with all those lights, the Spade always remains room temperature to the touch to avoid any overheating. Meanwhile, the Spade comes with a 3-in-1 charger, dock and storage container, allowing the whole unit to sit on your bathroom counter keeping the Spade’s 350mAh battery fully charged for up to 30 days of cleaning before recharging.
The Spade Mini Smart Ear Wax Remover can end your cotton swab dependency once and for all. Right now, the $62 set is on sale for only $39.99. Or you could save even more by picking up a two-pack of Spade Minis at 40 percent off, just $74.99.
