Best Deals During Amazon's Big Spring Sale

The Beckham Luxury Linens Hotel Collection Pillow has a 100-percent cotton cover and a 100-percent polyester gel-fiber filling. The pillow aced our test for breathability, so it should help keep you from feeling hot; it also scored top marks for resiliency, so it should maintain its shape over time.

The Coop Home Goods Premium Adjustable Loft Pillow is made of shredded memory foam and excels in our tests for support, no matter your size or sleep position. It also keeps its shape well, showing little to no change in height or fluffiness in our resilience tests. Each pillow comes with extra foam, so you can adjust the filling to your liking. The only area where this pillow falls a bit short is in breathability—it sleeps slightly warm.

This Coop pillow uses gel-infused memory foam and microfiber, making it a good choice for those who love the "cool side" of the pillow. It’s part of Coop’s Sleep Week sale, so shoppers can save 20 percent right now, and CR members can save a little extra (see below for details). The pillow gets a perfect score for breathability, so if you sleep hot, it could be exactly what you need for all-night comfort. It also offers top-notch side support and nearly as good back support.

​​Brushed microfiber isn’t as breathable as cotton, but for those who don’t find synthetic fibers to be a hang-up, this Mellanni sheet set is a top-notch pick (and about $5 less than usual). It offers a softer feel than most cotton options and is pretty resistant to wrinkling, and you can expect a great fit even after a year of laundering. You can also expect to have this set in rotation for a while because it does pretty well in our strength test. The one area where these bedsheets miss the mark a bit 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.

Ninja’s air fryers all perform well in our tests, and the Max XL is no different. What sets this one apart is its 5.5-quart capacity. Standard air fryers tend to fall in the 4-quart range. It got top marks in our lab tests for its easy controls, and scored better than average for convenience and noise. It did fall a little short when it came to cleaning.

This matches the same sale price we’ve seen a few times so far this year—and we’ve never seen the price go any lower.

This Ninja air fryer has two baskets, and each can be removed on its own, which allows you to cook two different things at separate temperatures and cook times simultaneously (say, fries and chicken nuggets). Its total measured capacity is 6 quarts. In our tests, it was very easy to use and clean, and while it’s a little on the noisy side, it’s not the loudest of the models we’ve tested. It has six cook functions—air fry, air broil, roast, bake, reheat, and dehydrate—and programmed settings for cooking specific foods. It comes with a one-year warranty.

This air fryer is the priciest in our ratings. It typically retails for $400, and this sale price is the best we’ve ever seen. At 22 pounds, the Typhur Dome AF03 is one of the heaviest air fryers we’ve tested, so you may want to just leave it on the countertop if you have space.  It may not have the most intuitive controls, according to our tests, but it’s easy to clean—with a dishwasher-safe basket—and it receives an excellent score in our noise tests. It has a self-cleaning function to remove oil and stains, and you can adjust your settings and monitor cooking in the Typhur app.

The KitchenAid Classic Series K45SSWH matches the performance of other KitchenAids in our ratings test for test, meaning it excels at mixing, kneading, and whipping, and does it all quietly. The 10-speed mixer comes with a 5-quart stainless steel bowl (without a handle), flat beater, dough hook, and wire whisk. It’s compatible with all KitchenAid attachments, so you can branch out from baking into making more savory foods, such as sausage and pasta. It weighs 21 pounds. Unlike some KitchenAids, this model comes only in white and black.

KitchenAid’s artisan series is a bump up from its classic line. The 10-speed KitchenAid Artisan Series KSM195PSBK comes with the usual attachments, plus a pastry beater, a bowl shield to prevent splatters, and an extra 3-quart bowl for smaller jobs. The standard-issue stainless bowl is 5 quarts. In our tests this mixer aces our tasks for whipping cream and mixing cookie dough and is almost as good at kneading bread dough. It works quietly, and our testers find it very convenient to change the beaters and clean. It weighs 21 pounds and has a tilt-head, so you’ll need some clearance between the counter and the cabinets. Bonus: You have your choice of 10 colors.

The GE G8H1AASSPSS Blender is an immersion model that comes with a whisk and chopper, and it’s available now at a sweet price. It showed excellent performance in our soup puree tests, and the chopper attachment did a great job grating cheese. The whisk attachment allows you to quickly whip egg whites to stiff peaks and easily turn heavy cream into rich whipped cream. It’s typically on sale for $69.99, and we haven’t seen a better price so far in 2026, until now.

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. This is the best price we’ve ever seen, beating the previous low by $10

Weighing in at just 5 pounds, the top-rated Our Place Perfect Pot is the lightest Dutch oven in our ratings (and it’s back to its best price). It receives excellent scores across all our performance tests, meaning you can evenly cook and simmer sauces and bake bread with a perfectly crisp crust. The only area where it falls short is in the handle temperature test, where it receives a mediocre score (meaning you’ll probably want to use potholders). Unlike most Dutch ovens, this one is made of aluminum with a ceramic nonstick coating. It’s oven-safe only to 425° F. (Most Dutch ovens in our ratings can withstand 500° F or higher.)

The Meater+ meat thermometer is one of the most reliable digital thermometers. It’s easy to use, and given its top-notch accuracy, you won’t need guesswork to determine the doneness of brisket and other fleshy delights. It’s shaped like a thick ink pen with dual sensors—one to check the internal temperature and one for ambient temperature—and its size makes it better suited for girthier cuts. The Meater+ transmits temperature readings wirelessly to the companion smartphone app. This is the typical sale price.

These dish towels are a versatile addition to any kitchen. Not only can they be used to mop up spills and dry dishes, but they also come in handy when handling hot pans. And unlike many oven mitts, dish towels are much easier to clean. Professional chef Joshua Resnick said, "These are used in kitchens because they are cheap, they are versatile and can be folded depending on what you’re handling. We also use them to put under hot items so as to not leave hot spots on kitchen counters where someone can hurt themselves.”

For a basic, one-button machine, this compact model produced perfectly tender, chewy rice. In fact, it’s the best—earning a stellar score in that test—and the fastest of the top rice cookers we’ve tested. It took half the time to cook rice compared with most of the other models we tested. Points were docked for convenience, though, because it lacks programs, a keep-warm mode, and audio cues when the rice is done (it automatically turns off). But if you’re looking for the simplest rice cooker without any microcomputer, touchscreen, or alerts, this is a good choice that takes up little space. It’s the kind of starter rice cooker that seems made for college students.

If you’re looking for a basic toaster that will serve up perfectly consistent toast for breakfast in the morning (or anytime for that matter) the Hamilton Beach Gourmet 22996 2-Slice toaster may just fit the bill. This model earned top marks in our tests for one-slice and full-batch toasting, as well as color range. The downside? The toaster’s exterior and crumb tray may be tricky to clean, our testers warn. But that may not matter at a price this low—just know it was the same price before the Spring Sale started.

There’s a lot to like about this over-the-ear noise canceling headphone that sits second in Bose’s lineup but performs a lot like the top-of-the line Quiet Comforts. Since Bose devices don’t routinely carry big discounts, this deal might be worth a look. That said, we have seen them dip as low as $299 during bigger sales. The Quiet Comforts provide sound quality that’s solid if not quite up to the very best headphones in this category.

This wireless model from JBL delivers acceptable sound quality and top-notch active noise reduction. These earphones have an isolating design and an ambient sound monitoring feature; they will provide some muffling and electronic canceling of external noises and also reduce the amount of sound that escapes from the earpieces. As such, they are best for those who want highly portable earphones that reduce the amount of noise they hear from their surroundings, or don’t want the sound from the earpieces to disturb others. The sale price is the same as we’ve seen for weeks.

If you’re a fan of the Google Pixel phone, then the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are a solid choice for a complementary earbud. They have a Find My Device function, and the sound can be adjusted through the Pixel app. The Pixel Buds 2 earn very good sound quality grades and score well for noise cancellation. They’ve been available at this price for weeks.

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.

This is $100 less than we saw for Black Friday.

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.

The 75-inch Roku 75R8C5, one of the company’s new 2025 Pro-series models, does well in all aspects, including picture quality, HDR performance, and sound. Like its predecessor, it has a Mini LED backlight. It supports both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ HDR formats, as well as Dolby Atmos audio. This is a good deal for a fine-performing TV.

This 75-inch midtier QLED set for 2025 offers a nice balance of price and features. Unlike the QD6QF models below it in the Hisense lineup, it has a Mini LED backlight with local dimming, which can improve contrast and black levels, and a native 144Hz refresh rate for smoother motion and gaming. We didn’t test this model, but we did test the 65-inch version, and it does well for overall picture quality, though not for HDR. (The TV supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+ HDR, plus Dolby Atmos audio.) This set uses the Amazon Fire TV smart system with Alexa built in.

The Amazon Fire TV Cube is at a super low price at Lowe’s right now, beating Amazon’s best price by $25. It’s 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.

Situated right below the Roku Streaming Stick 4K+ model, the Streaming Stick 4K has most of the same features—including improved WiFi, support for HDR10+ and Dolby Vision HDR, and the ability to work with Amazon Alexa, Apple AirPlay, and Google Assistant voice assistant—but not the new rechargeable Voice Remote Pro remote control. This is $10 more than the best price we’ve seen, so you may save more if you can wait until Prime Day.

The second-gen Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is basically an updated version of the previous model, with a slightly faster processor, more storage (16GB instead of 8GB), and support for a newer wireless protocol, WiFi6e. It also has a new feature, called the Fire TV Ambient Experience, which has only been available on Amazon’s Omni-series QLED TVs until now. Basically, it lets you see information such as calendars and reminders, control smart devices, and view artwork or photos on the screen when you’re not watching TV.

We didn’t test this premium 9.1.4-channel Dolby Atmos soundbar from Samsung, which is only available at Best Buy and in the Samsung store on Amazon, but based on our experience with higher-end Samsung soundbars, we expect it to deliver very satisfying sound. This system features upfiring drivers in both the main enclosure and the rear satellite speakers, along with a separate wireless subwoofer. It supports wireless Dolby Atmos immersive audio. It’s loaded with features, including Active Voice Amplifier, which analyzes background noise in your room and programs, and automatically enhances voices in the scene so you can hear dialogue more clearly. Amazon recently dropped its sale price by an extra $20.

If you want an iPad, this 2025 entry-level model is our pick as the best tablet for most people. 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 Shark SpeedStyle Pro Flex 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.

The Tymo Ring Straightening Comb is down to its lowest price. CR writer and product tester Jodhaira Rodriguez was impressed with how well and how quickly this comb straightened her frizzy, dry hair. It’s shaped like a traditional hair comb with smooth, horizontal teeth. Because of the smoothness of the bristles, hair isn’t gripped as it passes through the comb; it glides smoothly just like a comb does, as long as the hair is detangled. It has five temperature settings that range from 266° F to 410° F, and an auto-shutoff feature that turns the straightening comb off after 30 minutes.

Detangling brushes save not only time but also effort when tackling knots or an unruly mane. And for me, the FHI Heat Unbrush is the one to beat. It earned the distinction of being the best for curly hair in our evaluations of the best detangling brushes, and our testers liked its lightweight feel. I personally switched to it because my old brush had those beads at the end of the bristles, and they were snagging in my hair and ripping out my extensions. The Unbrush has smooth bristles, so it glides through my hair so smoothly and detangles without catching my extensions. It’s available in a variety of colors at different prices, but this is the lowest price you’ll find.

In CR’s head-to-head battle, this brush performed better for our testers with wavier and straighter hair than the Tymo below. 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.”

We found the Onlyone Water Flosser quite easy to use and charge. Despite its smaller countertop footprint, it holds quite a lot of water, which means longer flossing sessions without needing a refill. The removable tank has a large opening, which facilitates easy filling.

If you prefer a wider platform to step on, this Escali model could be a good choice, especially with this discount. It’s a CR Recommended model because it aced every one of our tests. It has a 400-pound capacity and shows weights in 0.2-pound increments. Plus, the numbers light up, so you can read them at night without turning on a light. It even comes with the four AAA batteries you’ll need to get started.

This massager, made famous on TikTok, falls in the middle of the pack in terms of pricing, compared with the other models we evaluated. The reviewer found that the nodes pressed into their neck in an uncomfortable way, but two others who tried it loved it, so you might find the massager is just right or not right at all (but don’t worry—there’s a 30-day return window on Amazon). However, when it came to heat, this massager really shone. It reaches temperatures of 109° F. You can use this massager on various body parts, and it even comes with a car adapter, making it a boon for road trips.

The Blueair Blue Pure 311i Max Air Purifier features an indicator light to alert you when you need to change or clean the filter. It also has a dirt sensor and four speeds. On its higher setting, it’s terrific at removing dust, pollen, and smoke, but expect a bit of noise. It’s easy to use, and is designed for use in a large space of 350 to 650 square feet. CR members find Blueair air purifiers to be highly reliable, and they’re very satisfied with their purchases. This is the same sale price that was available before the sale.

The Levoit PlasmaPro 600S is a solid performer all-around, clearing the air of dust, pollen, and smoke at both higher and lower settings with great results. It’s noisy while running at a high speed, but it’s relatively quiet at low speeds, making it ideal for an office or bedroom. And you don’t have to worry about keeping track of filter changes: An indicator light alerts you when it’s time. This machine also has a dust sensor and a programmable timer. This is the same price you could get the day before the sale started, so it’s likely to be available after the sale ends as well.

Looking for an air purifier for a very large space? This model from AirDoctor is rated for 650 square feet or more, and it’s CR Recommended. Most air purifiers are going to be loud and this is no exception, but it is among the quietest (relative to other models) that we’ve tested when running on its highest speeds. It’s also better than most at removing particles at any speed, earning it a very good score overall. This is $50 more than the lowest price we’ve seen, but it’s the best deal that’s been available since the start of the new year.

At 50 pounds, the Coway Airmega ProX is quite heavy, but it also delivers high-quality performance—the current sale price was available before the Spring Sale started and may be available after too. On both higher and lower speeds, this model excels at clearing rooms of dust, pollen, and smoke. And it scores well when it comes to noise. It accommodates indoor spaces up to a whopping 2,126 square feet. But the ProX’s top-tier performance comes at a hefty price, plus about $247 annually, according to our estimates. The ProX features three speeds, a filter indicator, and a dirt sensor. In our surveys, CR members say they’re highly satisfied with their Coway air purifiers. The brand earns top marks for predicted reliability, too.

The Luxe Bidet Neo 320 was discounted this much before the sale began, so you’re not saving any more by buying it now. This dual-nozzle model performs impressively on the most important metric—how thoroughly it cleans. It also offers heated water, provided your bathroom’s layout allows for connection to a hot water line via the included hose. (The hot water valve needs to be within 10 feet of the toilet.) For the less handy among us and those short on time: The Neo 320 Plus comes conveniently preassembled, and you don’t have to fully remove the toilet seat to install it. This model is also designed to flip up on hinges, which allows for easier cleaning of the toilet bowl and surrounding area. However, you can’t adjust the angle of the spray nozzle, as you can with some models.

The Tushy Classic 3.0 performs very well in our cleaning test, though it’s a notch below some others we tested, including the model above. It has only one nozzle, but the direction of the spray is adjustable. It also offers a convenient knob to dial in your preferred water pressure. Our testers find the Tushy Classic 3.0 to be a bit more cumbersome to install than other models. While it does come preassembled, you have to remove your toilet seat to mount it. It also lacks an alignment guide to help you position the bidet against the back of the toilet rim, which means you may spend more time manually adjusting.

If you don’t have a lot of carpets at home, it’s worth considering the Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away NV752, which is excellent at cleaning bare surfaces. It’s one of the quieter upright vacuums we tested, and it also scores well for picking up pet hair. The vacuum comes with LED headlights, which can spotlight any debris on the floor while you’re cleaning.

As long as you don’t mind that it’s on the noisier side, the Black+Decker DustBuster CHV1410L is a hand vac worth considering for its cleaning power. It’s good at removing debris from bare floors and carpet, despite not having a power brush attachment. This price is the lowest the model has sold for in the last few months.

Consistent with its moniker, the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser erased any evidence of pet hair from test carpets. It wasn’t the most powerful vacuum, but testers like the lighted crevice tool and the lights on the side of the vacuum that make it easier to see debris along edges. This model also has a lift-off feature which allows the user to convert the vacuum to canister mode.

This Kenmore 200 Series 81214 performs quite well in CR cleaning tests, with a strong score for cleaning carpets and suction power, while its ability to clean bare floss and pet hair is stellar. Negatives? Handling is average and it’s one of the noisier canisters. Differences from the 400 Series: the on/off switch is on the body, it has a different type of suction control, and there’s no telescopic wand.

The Bissell Revolution HydroSteam Pet 3432 is a great choice, thanks to its strong performance—it scores very well in our tests for cleaning, drying, and convenience. It comes with a 2-in-1 pet upholstery tool and a 6-inch tough stain tool, making it especially handy if you have stairs to clean or want to use it on large furniture. This carpet cleaner typically costs about $100 more than higher-performing Bissells in our ratings, so it’s definitely better to buy it when it’s on sale (even if this is the same price that was available before the Spring Sale).

The Bissell ProHeat 2x Revolution Pet Pro Plus is a great choice if you want to own your own carpet cleaner, especially at this price. It aced our drying tests and demonstrated strong cleaning performance—plus, our testers found it very convenient to use. Its hose length, just short of 7 feet, makes it good for stairs and larger homes, and per tank of solution, it covers about 39 square feet. It also features carrying handles and separate tanks for clean and dirty water. And this price was available ahead of the sale, so it’s no better than usual

The GorFanty 10-in-1 MultiPurpose is an excellent cleaner with a decent steam rate, and it’s back to its best price. It takes only 20 seconds for the steam mop to produce steam, and its steam can last for around 10 minutes on its maximum setting. We like that you can adjust the length of the mop to accommodate people of different heights. The mop comes with plenty of accessories, including attachments for cleaning tile grout, clothes, furniture, windows, and carpets.

The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Enhanced is one of the company’s newer smart thermostats. It performs well in our tests for manual operation and offers an array of smart features, but it’s not as proficient at learning your routine and making adjustments automatically. It features a new radar-based occupancy sensor and works with Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings for voice and app control. It doesn’t come with one of Ecobee’s wireless temperature sensors (called SmartSensors), but you can buy those separately in a two-pack for $100 at Best Buy and Ecobee.

The Amazon Smart Plug is essentially an accessory for consumers who use Amazon Echo speakers and Alexa to run their smart home, because it’s managed entirely from the Alexa app and doesn’t work with other smart home systems. It performs quite well in our tests of the best smart plugs, with our experts finding it very easy to set up and use. It also provides strong data security.

The Aqara Camera E1 is a strong performer, especially for video quality and alert response time. It can store footage on a microSD card (up to 512 gigabytes; sold separately) and offers plenty of features, including person detection, motorized pan-and-tilt so you can remotely change the camera’s view, and a privacy mode that will point the camera at a wall or ceiling.

The Blink Wired Floodlight Cam is back down to its usual Prime Day sale price, which it has seemed to drop to almost without fail over the last few years. In our tests, it receives superb scores for video quality and response time, as well as a very good score for data security. It falls in the middle of the pack in terms of its smart features, and its data privacy guarantees are weak (a common issue across brands in this space). Its features include a siren, activity zones, voice/app control via Amazon Alexa, and up to 5 minutes of continuous live streaming. You can store footage locally without a subscription if you purchase a Blink Sync Module 2, $50, and plug in a USB flash drive. Cloud video storage and other features (such as person detection) require a Blink Subscription Plan.
