Bluetooth trackers are handy little things that can help you find valuables after misplacing them. Our pick for the best Bluetooth tracker is the Chipolo One, and a four-pack has dropped close to its record-low price. The bundle (which usually costs $75) is currently available for just $60, which makes each tracker just $15 — that’s a record low for each unit. Alternatively, you can buy a single tracker for $20 (usually $25) if you really only need one.
Chipolo
A four-pack of Chipolo One Bluetooth trackers has dropped to a near-record-low price of $60.
The Chipolo One can’t really measure up to the crowd-sourced finding network of AirTags or Tile trackers, so it’s perhaps not the best option for monitoring the location of your luggage while traveling. However, it does a more than capable job of helping you find items around the house. It has the loudest ring of all the trackers we’ve tested, for one thing, and there was no delay between pressing a button in an app and hearing the Chipolo One trill away.
The One can be easy to spot, since it’s a colorful plastic disc. It’s fairly hardy too, since it has IPX5-rated splash resistance and a two-year battery life (the battery is replaceable). One other feature in the One’s favor is that it’s compatible with both iOS and Android, and we found it straightforward to pair with an iPhone and Samsung Galaxy phone.
The aspect of the One that particularly impressed us was its separation alerts. Once you get around 350 feet away from the tracker, you’ll get an alert on your phone asking if you might have left an item somewhere. Through your maps app, Chipolo can guide you back to the location where your phone and the One were last in contact. Of course, you can ring the tracker once you’re close by to help you find it.
