Our Favorite Amazon Prime Day Deals

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.

The ceramic-coated nonstick Our Place Perfect Pot is $5 less than the best price we’ve ever seen. This is a popular Dutch oven, and it’s a top performer in our lab tests where we bake bread, simmer sauces, clean, and evaluate how quickly and evenly each Dutch oven heats. The one area where this pot scores less well is handle temperature, so you’ll want to keep a potholder handy if you choose this model. Overall, it’s an attractive and versatile piece of cookware for your kitchen.

The Meater+ meat thermometer, now $5 less than it was before the sale, 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 for internal temperature and one for ambient temperature—and its size makes it better suited to girthier cuts. The Meater+ transmits temperature readings wirelessly to the companion smartphone app.

This large-capacity Zojirushi drip coffee maker is $10 less than it was last Prime Day. It’s the non-programmable version of one we’ve tested in our labs—though we haven’t tested this one, we expect its performance to be about the same. It has a shower-style mechanism to dispense water over the coffee grounds for even coverage, and our testers found the carafe easy to use. However, it didn’t quite meet our standards in our brew test in terms of bringing the coffee to a temperature of 195 to 205 degrees and maintaining it for five to six minutes. But Zojirushi, as a brand does have top scores for reliability and owner satisfaction for its drip coffee makers.

The Ballarini Parma Non-Stick 10-piece nonstick cookware set includes two frying pans, two saucepans, one sauté pan, and a stockpot (lids also count as separate pieces). In our lab tests, we found the pans’ speed of heating and cooking evenness to be excellent. Nonstick food release and durability were also very good, and this set did a very good job of evenly simmering tomato sauce. We haven’t seen a deal on this set quite as good since last Prime Day, when it was $10 more.

The Instant Vortex Plus 140-3079-01 is a versatile air fryer fit for a small household (we measured its capacity at 3 quarts). It offers a digital display and functions that include bake, broil, reheat, roast, and dehydrate. Its parts are also dishwasher-safe. This air fryer was on sale for less than this leading up to the winter holidays, but if you’re looking for an inexpensive air fryer now, this might be the right choice for you.

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.

The Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal + Biotin Dry Shampoo really only ever goes on sale around these big events. It was the same price last summer during the sale, so it’s a great opportunity to buy now. This is a nearly perfect product among the dry shampoos we evaluated. It absorbs grease well and blends easily with different hair colors. It’s also pretty comfortable on your scalp. Any dryness the evaluators felt was slight and didn’t cause any noticeable discomfort. The scent of the product is light and not too overpowering, according to most of our evaluators.

If you’re looking for soft curls, this lightweight foam could be worth a look, especially at $3 less than the best price we’d seen so far. This mousse tells you how many pumps of product you should apply to each section of hair because it provides a guide for varying hair lengths. Because the foam is so lightweight and watery, it spread through our testers’ hair evenly and didn’t leave any clumps of sticky, stiff hair strands. We found it worked best for our testers who had finer hair, so if you’ve got thicker hair, it’s probably a skip.

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.

While there’s nothing revolutionary about the design of Sonos’s first headphone, this elegant noise-canceling model is well-executed. The sleek, minimalist profile feels nice in your hands and actually looks flattering when sitting on your head. And, sonically, the Ace offers smooth, comforting sound and solid bass. If you’re a Sonos fan, this is a good opportunity to get the Ace for the best price we’ve ever seen.

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.

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 Hisense 65UR8 is one of the new “RGB Mini LED TVs,” which use red, green, and blue LEDs in the backlight to provide a very wide range of colors. We didn’t test this set, but we did test the flagship UR9 models in both 65- and 75-inch screen sizes, and both performed well overall, with exceptional HDR performance. (Hisense TVs support both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ HDR formats.) This set uses the Google TV smart system, with Google Assistant.

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 Tuft & Needle Original Foam Pillow is made of polyurethane foam and comes with a micro-polyamide and polyester cover. Despite this composition, testers found that the pillow excels in breathability. It is a great choice for side sleepers, but less ideal for back sleepers, according to our lab tests. Expect its firmness, height, and support to remain consistent with use.

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 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 NordicTrack T10 performs well across the board. Plus, its design can accommodate a wide variety of body shapes and sizes, and it’s built for durability and resists wear after our labs simulate six months of use. A subscription is required for the NordicTrack T10. Its frame comes with a 10-year warranty; its motor and parts, a 2-year warranty; and its electronics and repairs, a 1-year warranty.

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. 

Here’s one item that will help keep your feline occupied when you’re otherwise engaged. “My 10-year-old cat, Frannie, is obsessed with playing, and even more obsessed with treats,” says CR’s shopping managing editor, Mary Beth Quirk. “So when I’m busy working at home and can’t entertain her, I’ll throw some treats in this puzzle box, and it keeps her entertained. Sometimes, she destroys the box in the process, which is fine because it’s cardboard, so we just recycle it and order a new one.”

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.

The soft-sided TravelPro Platinum Elite Carry-on is a costly investment, but it performs well in all our tests. And now’s a great time to invest. Additionally, the TravelPro features a dedicated side pocket with a USB cable, allowing you to store and connect your own power bank to the bag’s built-in charging port on the back. It has four wheels, three handles, and comes in grey, red, brown, green, navy camouflage, two shades of blue, and two shades of black. It comes with a lifetime 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 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 Miele Duoflex scores well in nearly all of our cleaning tests, and it’s $50 less than it cost just before the sale started. It’s excellent at cleaning debris from bare floors as well as picking up pet hair. It’s only so-so at vacuuming dirt from carpets, but that’s not uncommon for stick vacs, which aren’t as powerful as uprights. What stands out the most about this model is how easy it is to use; we like how simple it is to remove the vacuum’s dustbin and clean its filter.

It’s hard to find fault with the Tineco Floor One S5, which is $30 less than it has been and does an outstanding job of cleaning stains off of ceramic tiles. It’s both a vacuum that can handle wet and dry messes and a steam mop. Especially handy is the self-cleaning function that automatically washes the brush roll. While this steam mop has frequently gone on sale, this is the lowest price we’ve seen it sell at this year.

The Shark PowerDetect AZ4002 is $80 less at Amazon than anywhere else. It tackles cleaning jobs with ease. It’s also fairly quiet and comes packed with handy features, among them a dirt sensor that automatically boosts power to pull up more debris. It can detect floor types and adjust the speed of its brush rolls accordingly. For those who hate having to extricate hair from a vacuum’s brush rolls, the PowerDetect’s rolls are designed with a self-cleaning feature to guard against entanglements. This current price is on par with the lowest price we’ve seen this vacuum 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 Google Nest Video Doorbell (Battery) is at its second-best price right now—it was $10 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.
