Our Favorite Amazon Prime Day Deals

While Apple claims the AirPods 4 are improved over the AirPods 3, our testers were less impressed. They’re still solid headphones if you prefer not to have eartips stuck in your ear. The fit, despite Apple’s tweaks, is pretty much the same as previous models, as is the sound. These headphones were $15 less for Black Friday and may be cheaper for Prime Day, but this is still a nice price if you can’t wait.

The AirPods Pro 3 are Apple’s top-of-the-line earbuds: they’re packed with features and they’re $20 les than the best price we’ve seen this year. The new functions include live translation and a workout mode that allows you to leave your Apple Watch at home. They still offer a clinical-grade hearing test and the option of turning your Pro 3s into an over-the-counter hearing aid. They also sound good and offer a better fit and noise canceling than last year’s Pro 2s. They don’t go on sale very often, so this is an opportunity to get the latest tech at an enticing price.

If you want earbuds, but don’t like the feel of plugging up your ears, the Bose Ultra Opens are a unique option. They hook on your ear, just above the lobe, kind of like a cuff-style earring. They sound surprisingly good, too, once you get the placement just right. And it’s totally easy to hear things around you with a clarity that the "transparency" mode of most earbuds can’t match.

In the words of the Philosopher-King/Bombastic Rock God Meatloaf, two out of three ain’t bad. A great pair of headphones does three things: 1) fit well, 2) deliver effective noise-canceling, and 3) sound terrific. This Soundcore model hits the mark on the first two line items. Sound-wise? It’s not terrible, but it’s not great either. The bass is a little bloated, the midrange not as clear as you’d like it, while the high frequencies have a sizzle that’s okay on your breakfast bacon, but not ideal on your favorite music. But at this price, you can overlook those shortcomings, especially if you’re gifting the headphones to a friend or relative who’s less than picky, or using them for podcasts or a little easy listening.

The Coop Sleep Goods Original Adjustable Pillow is filled with shredded memory foam and comes with extra fill, allowing sleepers to customize the pillow’s loft and feel. In our testing, it provided support across a range of body types and sleep positions, while maintaining its shape over time. The pillow is also designed to promote airflow, making it a noteworthy Prime Day option for shoppers looking for a more customizable alternative to traditional foam pillows.

The Fern & Willow Down Alternative Pillows are filled with a plush down-alternative material and sold as a set of two. In our testing, they provided support for both side and back sleepers while maintaining their shape over time. The pillows feature a cooling gel fiber fill and a breathable cotton cover.

Brushed microfiber isn’t as breathable as cotton, but if synthetic fibers aren’t a hang-up, this Mellanni sheet set is a top-notch pick. It offers a softer feel than most cotton options and is pretty resistant to wrinkling. The one area where these bedsheets slightly miss the mark is in our fit test. Though the packaging claims “deep pockets,” this set is best suited for mattresses with a depth of 10 inches or less.

We haven’t seen these sheets for less than $30 in a long time.

The Nectar Premier adjustable bed frame includes a range of preset positions, including TV, reading, Anti-Snore, and Zero Gravity modes, along with two customizable settings. It also offers smartphone app controls, four built-in USB ports, and an upper-body massage function. Available in twin XL, full, queen, and king sizes, it’s a feature-rich option for shoppers looking to upgrade their sleep setup.

The KitchenAid Bowl Lift KSM70 looks good on a counter, and its bowl-lift style fits nicely under upper cabinets. It also operates quietly. Performance-wise, it impressed our testers at mixing cake and pancake batter and whipping egg whites to airy peaks. It also performs well when kneading, a tough task for any mixer. It weighs a hefty 26 pounds and is available in several eye-catching colors. This model is certainly not cheap, but at least it’s cheaper during Prime Day. The pistachio color is the best price, and the others aren’t too much more.

In our tests, this pod brewer is a bit slow to start, but it brews repeat cups quickly and consistently. It’s also packed with features, including a removable reservoir, height-adjustable drip tray, programming, auto-shutoff, strong brew mode, iced brew mode, and the ability to dispense hot water for tea and other non-coffee beverages. While Amazon says this model is usually 209.99, the highest we’ve seen it go is $129.99.

This frying pan rarely goes on sale. The 10.5-inch pan cooks evenly and its ceramic coating rates well for food release and durability. The handle is super-sturdy and cool to the touch when cooking. Though made of aluminum, the pan is induction-compatible, says the manufacturer.

The Ninja Foodi DZ550 is a large air fryer fit for a crowd. It has two separate baskets for cooking two different foods at the same time, and we measured its capacity at 7.4 quarts. It earns impressive scores in our lab tests for its controls, convenience, and cleaning, but it may be on the noisy side. And it weighs a hefty 19 pounds, so you may want to leave this air fryer on the counter. We haven’t seen a better price this year.

The Hamilton Beach Advanced 5-in-1 (49965F) dual coffee maker makes both drip coffee and pod coffee. It receives a top score in our drip coffee brew performance tests, which means you’re likely to get a full pot that tastes great. It comes with brew-strength controls and a small-batch setting, and it’s generally easy to use. It does a little less well when it comes to its pod coffee capabilities. While it makes a quick first cup, subsequent cups may not be served up as quickly as you’d expect. Especially if getting the best flavor in a drip brew is your priority, this model at this price is worth considering.

A full cookware set for less than $100 is a steal already, but it’s especially so when it’s as impressive a performer as the Blue Diamond Classic Diamond-Infused Ceramic nonstick cookware set. It comes with two frying pans, a saucepan, a sauté pan, a stockpot, and two cooking utensils. It’s advertised as oven-safe to 850° F and dishwasher-safe, though manufacturers tend to say hand-washing helps nonstick cookware last longer. It performs well in all of our cookware tests except for handle sturdiness, where less-expensive cookware generally falls short.

In CR’s head-to-head battle, this brush, which dropped by another $12 just today, performed better for our testers with wavier and straighter hair than the Tymo. It also did the job quickly, which could make it a worthwhile investment. 

“The grabbiness of the brush is really what does it for me,” said tester Mary Beth Quirk, who has long, wavy hair. “I like it so much better than the traditional clamp of a straightening iron.”

The Shark SpeedStyle Pro Flex, now at the best price we’ve ever seen, competes with the highly sought-after Dyson models, but at more than half the price. Like the Dyson models, our testers liked how easily the attachments snapped onto the hair dryer, and how you can rotate them without removing them. Its airflow is so strong that when turned on, it has a kickback. 

It has another high-end feature: its IQ Speed Styling & Drying Suite automatically adjusts heat and speed depending on the attachment. The attachments are unique and feature-rich, including the Frizzfighter, which is helpful in making sleek bangs (and flyaways). The diffuser features different prong lengths depending on hair type, and its brush attachment includes boar bristles. Its highest temperature reading in our tests was 115° F.

Hot Tools hair styling tools are a common sight at hair salons, and for good reason. Our evaluators found that this flat iron heated up fast and was easy to use. It has variable heat settings to give users more control, and the plates are slightly longer than most straighteners, a feature that could be useful for styling longer hair. It’s important to note that the temperature consistency isn’t reliable and could vary by as much as 20 degrees from the set temperature during use. It has a 2-hour window before it automatically shuts off, so you’ll want to remember to unplug it after every use. It’s about $20 less than usual

The Laneige lip mask comes in a variety of scents and, interestingly, tints. It’s thick, sticky, and super-moisturizing, and stayed on all night for most of our evaluators. Different scents and tints are available for different prices, and these are the best offers.

This refillable body wash was touted for its luxurious feel. It hardly goes on sale, so this is a good opportunity to treat yourself. It’s thick, lathers well, and was a new favorite for one of our at-home evaluators. Mary Beth Quirk said, “This is going to be my absolute new favorite body wash, and I’ll probably be giving it as a gift to others in the future. I love that it not only performs the basic function of cleaning but also smells like a forest paradise.”

The Hisense 75 U8QG is a higher-end 2025 4K ULED set, positioned just below the flagship Hisense U9QG model. It performed very well in our picture quality tests and offers great high dynamic range performance. (It supports both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ HDR formats.) It has a lot of features, including a Mini LED backlight with local dimming, a 165Hz native refresh rate, and support for Dolby Atmos audio. The 4.1.2-channel speaker system delivers great sound. The set utilizes the Google TV smart system, featuring a built-in Google Assistant.

The price is back down to the best we’ve seen this year.

Part of Samsung’s 2025 Frame Pro series, the Samsung QN55LS03F is a 55-inch QLED TV equipped with a full-array LED backlight and local dimming. Like other Frame models, designed to display artwork and photos from Samsung’s art store when you’re not watching TV, it features a picture frame-like design, a matte screen for a print-like appearance, and minimal reflections. It comes with a slim wall mount that allows the TV to be placed flush against the wall. It’s $200 less than it has been all year, and only Amazon has this price. And the 65-inch version is on sale as well, albeit for a good deal more.

The 75-inch Hisense 75QD7QF is a lower midlevel Mini LED TV that performs well for overall picture quality, but its high dynamic range performance is limited. (It supports both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ HDR formats.) It uses the Amazon Fire TV smart platform with Alexa built in.

If you’re a Samsung Galaxy lover due for an upgrade, you can nab a deal on the new Samsung Galaxy 26. (The Galaxy S26 Ultra is also on sale, if you want a larger, more premium model.) Expect a vibrant display and first-rate camera system, our testers say. The prices listed above are for the 512GB versions; you can save by going for 256GB.

The Amazon Fire TV Cube is at the best price we’ve ever seen (beating the previous best by $5). This is a mashup of an Amazon Echo and a 4K Fire TV streamer. Its universal remote control capabilities let you control a host of other compatible A/V gear, including TVs, soundbars, receivers, and even some cable and satellite boxes. New features include HDMI 2.1 connections—one input and one output—for controlling other devices using your voice. (One cool trick is that the Cube will also upscale any content from a source connected to its HDMI input.) Other features include support for WiFi 6E, support for both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ HDR, and an Off button that disconnects the microphones if you don’t want the device in an always-listening mode.

The Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 is a premium 2-in-1 with a 360-degree hinge that lets you rotate the screen for use as a traditional laptop or a tablet, knocking out a report at your desk or sketching notes on the couch. The bundled stylus is handy for handwriting and drawing. Thin, light, and built to last a full workday away from an outlet, this is the sort of machine that earns its keep if you’re frequently on the move or travel for work. It sits at the higher end of our laptop ratings, so you’re paying for the flexibility and the display quality.

The Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar is an all-in-one 5.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos model that delivers decent overall sound. It’s the company’s flagship model; although it has built-in subwoofers, it lacks an outboard one to increase bass response. It does have two upfiring drivers for Dolby Atmos height effects. It has the Amazon Alexa voice assistant built in. It comes with a headband with microphones that work with Bose’s AdaptiQ calibration feature, or you can use the soundbar’s mics.

If you want an iPad, this 2025 entry-level model is our pick as the best tablet for most people—and discounts on Apple products tend to remain fairly consistent, so odds are it will be this price for Prime Day too. It has a beautiful 10.9-inch display, 128GB of storage, and the ability to record HD video. And its battery lasts a decently long time in our testing: 14 hours during video playback and 9 hours browsing the web.

The Kamado Joe Classic is our top-rated ceramic kamado and comes packed with features, including a few that make it a stellar smoker. It has an elevated rack and comes with a heat deflector for smoking meats, both of which allow you to easily slow-cook, say, a brisket, without drying it out. It also has adjustable dampers and a locking lid, which help control the flow of air so that you can maintain a low and slow smoke for hours on end. It excelled at slow-cooking a pork shoulder in our tests, as well as at cooking a thin-crust pizza over high heat.

The Ego LB6504 is a great choice if you want a battery-powered leaf blower that can handle tough jobs. Plus, the 56-volt battery that comes with this model can power other Ego power tools, like string trimmers, chainsaws, and lawn mowers. At $200, this is the lowest price we’ve seen all year.

Your neighbors will thank you for using an Ego LM2135 because it’s very quiet at 25 feet away and at the ear of the user. While this unit is often a bit expensive as far as push mowers go, it performs well in mulching, cut evenness, and handling. In our tests, it also earned impressive marks in bagging and side discharging. Run time is up to 50 minutes, enough to cover about a quarter of an acre in one go. What’s more, the battery can be fully charged in just over an hour.

The price for this set has dropped back down to the best we’ve seen. Each dumbbell in the Core Home Fitness Adjustable Dumbbell Set is automatically balanced because of the easy, one-handed adjustment of simply twisting the handle. Like the NordicTrack and PowerBlock sets below, the Core Home dumbbell comes with a good handgrip, and each dumbbell is shorter at lighter weights. Still, we found that each can be harder to replace in the cradle in some settings. At heavier settings, the dumbbells didn’t come out of their cradle without holding the cradle down.

Already budget-friendly, the Sunny Health & Fitness Magnetic Rowing Machine is a great pick at this price, particularly given its solid build quality. However, users should know that while this model can simulate rowing mechanics, it doesn’t display stroke rate, time per 500 meters, split time, or the distance you’ve rowed, making time on the machine the only metric you can use to track your workouts.

The Kakuje Resistance Bands Set is first-rate for consistency and uniformity. Its exercise range is respectable, too. The set comes with five training bands (10-, 15-, 20-, 30-, and 40-pound bands) for up to 115 pounds of total resistance. The Kakuje resistance bands are made from silicone, and the set includes a carrying bag.

In evaluating the best pet cameras, the Furbo dog camera was our editors’ top choice, thanks to its aesthetically pleasing design and camera with a wide viewing angle. It’s now at the best price we’ve ever seen. The ability to choose a voice prompt for the treat toss is a bonus. The device’s basic app features include live view, toss treats, talk to and hear your pet, and get barking alerts. The Nanny cam subscription includes cloud recording, advanced barking alert, Doggie Diary (a video summary of the day that you can choose to save to your device), activity alert, selfie alert, and person alert. And yes, you can still use the Furbo if you have a cat. 

Looking for an interactive toy to entertain and distract your cat that doesn’t require your full attention? This could be just the thing you’ve been searching for. Here’s how it works: Insert the small rolling, tweeting, light-up ball into the mat, then sit back and watch as your cat attempts to hunt down the ball.

This is an impressive discount on the Samsonite Freeform Carry-on Spinner, another great hardshell performer from our tests. The Samsonite has four wheels, two handles, and it comes in more than 10 different colors, so you can choose a color specific to you. It comes with a 10-year limited warranty.

With its relatively low price and admirable test performance, the expandable Amazon Basics 21-inch Hardside Spinner is a worthwhile pick for those who don’t care about the bells and whistles. It did well in our assessments for usability and performance, and it has eight wheels, two handles, and comes in black, orange, and pink colors, as well as two shades of blue. You can also get a three- or four-year warranty available for an additional charge.

If you’re looking for an air purifier for a small room, the Blueair Mini Restful might fit the bill—and this is the best price we’ve seen by $15. The Mini Restful earns the CR Recommended designation because it performed very well in our tests. Running at high speeds, it aced the dust, pollen, and smoke removal tests, and did nearly as well operating at low speeds. It gets a middling score for noise output at high speed, which is common across every model, but it’s actually pretty quiet at low speed, making it a great option for all-day use in, say, a home office.

The portable Blue Pure 211i Max is a good price right now—$5 less than the best price we saw last Prime Day. It does a terrific job on its higher setting, removing dust, pollen, and smoke, but expect a bit of noise. Try it on low and you’ll have more quiet while still experiencing top-notch results. This model is designed for use in a large space of 350 to 650 square feet and costs about $109 a year to maintain. It also weighs just 17 pounds, making it easy to move around.

The Mova P10 Pro Ultra Gen2 is excellent at vacuuming, impressing us with its ability to clean carpets, an area that other robot vacuum and mop combos might struggle with. While its mopping function isn’t as strong, it’s still fairly decent. The model comes with a base that automatically empties the vacuum dustbin, cleans and dries the mopping pads, and refills the mop reservoir with cleaning solution. On sale, the Mova is usually priced at around $500, and the Prime Day price has dropped $70 since yesterday, making this the best price we’ve ever seen.

The Bosch Unlimited 10 BCS1041TUC is currently selling at the lowest price we’ve seen this year. We appreciate its convenient features, especially its bendable tube that makes it easier to clean under furniture, and its relatively long battery time. It’s a strong cleaner and can pick up debris when moving both forward and backward, unlike other vacuums that typically pick up debris only when pushed forward.

The GorFanty 10-in-1 MultiPurpose is an excellent cleaner that can produce steam for a decent amount of time. We like that you can adjust the length of the mop to accommodate users of different heights. The mop comes with plenty of accessories, including attachments for cleaning tile grout, clothes, furniture, windows, and carpets. Right now, this steam mop is selling a price slightly lower than its usual discounts.

The Bissell FlexClean FurForce 4270L is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to both vacuuming and mopping functions. However, compared to some other robot vacuum-and-mop combos we’ve tested, it lacks certain amenities. The base automatically empties the device’s dustbin, but you’ll need to clean the device’s mopping pads and refill the robot with cleaning formula yourself. Its current price matches the lowest price we’ve seen this model sell for this year.

The Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight Camera can run off either a rechargeable battery or plug-in power cord, sold separately for $50, which connects to the bottom of the camera and can run up to 25 feet to connect to an outlet. It performs quite well in our lab tests, includes a siren, and offers voice/app control with all four major platforms: Amazon Alexa, Apple Home (with an Arlo Pro Smart Hub, sold separately), Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings. Additional features, such as activity zones, person detection, and cloud video storage, require an Arlo Secure subscription.

The Yale Assure Lock 2 is a keyless smart lock that connects to directly to WiFi (no hub needed), and you can control it remotely when you’re not home. With the included Yale WiFi Smart Module (an $80 value) it also supports Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings. This Yale smart lock is at the lowest price that we’ve ever seen.

The Google Nest Video Doorbell (Battery) is at its second-best price right now—it was $4 less last Prime Day. It offers impressive data security, speedy response times, and decent video quality in our lab tests. It’s also one of the few video doorbells to give you monitoring zones, object recognition (of people, packages, animals, and vehicles), and three free hours of cloud video storage without a monthly subscription. Cloud video storage and additional features (such as facial recognition) require a Google Nest Aware subscription.
