A notification carries a button that stops that alert; blocking notifications for this site in your browser stops them all.
We are not ready to call this price.
We check every 3 hours but write a price down only when it changes, and we publish a verdict once 10 different days carry a recorded price. This one has 3, so how soon depends on how often the price moves, not on how often we look. If it is still $158.00 on September 30, this box will say so — a price that has held for two weeks is an answer too.
Every change we recorded
Every row is a price we saw change. We write one only when a price actually moves, so a gap here means the price held.

Where to buy
Prices checked every 3 hours. “Held for” is how long that retailer has been charging this price. A hidden price is one we cannot re-confirm recently enough to publish. Delivery is counted only where we have read the retailer’s own figure; where we have not, the total says so instead of assuming it is free.
We earn a commission on purchases. It never affects our rankings.

Tracking since September 14, 2026 · 3 / 10 days recorded
We do not draw a chart under 10 days of prices. With four days every product is trivially at its lowest recorded price, and a chart that says so is worse than no chart. Check back once the record is long enough to mean something.
