Our Prime Day coverage is here, giving you live access to the best deals our team of experts can find. We will always use price tracking tools to make sure the deals you see are actually good deals and not just hype designed to fool you.

You need to be a Prime Member to have access to all of Amazon’s Prime Day deals and to get free shipping. Prime membership starts at $14.99 per month ($139 per year) and comes with a lot more benefits than people think. It’s easy to figure out if yearly Prime membership is worth it for you, but remember, you can always cancel your Prime membership once the sale is over. Amazon offers free 30-day trials, so you can shop for the whole event and still have time to cancel before you get charged. (Here’s how to sign up for a Prime account.)

You can check out our live blog of the event below, which features the whole team’s coverage of all four days of Prime Day. We’ll continue covering new deals as they are published, but scroll through the blog to check out all of the best deals so far.

Looking for something else? Retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, and Home Depot have Prime Day competition sales that are especially useful if you don’t have Amazon Prime.

  • Walmart’s Prime Day competition sale begins at midnight on July 8 and will include deals up to 50% off. It’s an especially good option if you have Walmart+. 

  • Best Buy’s Prime Day competition sale, “Black Friday in July,” runs through Sunday, July 13 and has some of the best tech sales online. It’s an especially good option if you’re a My Best Buy “Plus” or “Total” member.

  • Home Depot extended its 4th of July sale through at least July 9, competing with some amazing deals of its own. It’s an especially good option if you’re looking for power tools, appliances, or outdoor equipment.

Early Prime Day Deals

Tue, July 8, 2025 at 2:20pm ET

I’m finally ditching my Pixel 6A and upgrading to the Pixel 9. The 128GB version is just $549 (originally $799), matching the price of the budget Pixel 9A. A killer deal.

Tue, July 8, 2025 at 2:06pm ET

It’s tough to beat the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It has a huge display, impressive cameras, and a powerful processor. It’s about as close as you can get to a computer that fits in your pocket. Of course, that comes with a hefty price tag: $1,300, typically. For Prime Day, however, you can get $350 off the Galaxy S25 Ultra. That’s a pretty great deal.

Tue, July 8, 2025 at 12:56pm ET

If you want a great pair of noise-canceling headphones, check out the Sony WH1000XM5. They don’t have the catchiest name, and they’re not the latest headphones from Sony, but they are excellent. And, for the price, you won’t mind being a generation behind. You can snag these for as little as $250, depending on the store.

Tue, July 8, 2025 at 12:35pm ET

Gaming gear often looks like gaming gear, but not this gaming headset from Razer. Razer’s BlackShark V2 Pro looks great, last for 70 hours between charges, and comes in both Xbox and PlayStation varieties, so it’ll work with either platform.

Tue, July 8, 2025 at 11:39am ET

In the market for new security cameras? Eufy is a great choice. The company is currently a four-pack of its SoloCam S220 cameras for $200 off the list price. You’ll spend $120 on cameras that would normally run your $230.

Tue, July 8, 2025 at 10:12am ET

AirPods are great, but they aren’t for everyone. If you’re looking for a reasonably-priced AirPods alternative, check out the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds. These buds are 28% off for Prime Day, down to $129 from $179, and include most of the features you’d expect from a pair of Bluetooth earbuds—notably, noise cancellation.

Tue, July 8, 2025 at 8:06am ET

Good morning shoppers! Prime Day has officially begun. There are plenty of deals out there to take advantage of already, especially when it comes to technology. Our associate tech editor Michelle Ehrhardt has compiled a list of her favorite tech deals so far, which includes devices like new MacBooks, iPads, Galaxies, AirPods, and TVs.

Mon, July 7, 2025 at 4:14pm ET

Go ahead: Get yourself some nice, new earbuds. AirPods are high-quality, last a long time, and are still trendy, all of which usually means they’re pretty costly. Right now, though, Apple AirPods Pro 2 Wireless Earbuds are $159.99 instead of $249.99.

Mon, July 7, 2025 at 2:26pm ET

Robot vacuums have been around a while now, but they’re always innovating. You can get a truly deluxe one, the Shark AV2511AE AI Robot Vacuum, which comes with an XL self-emptying base and a 60-day capacity, for just $297.99 instead of the usual $599. It also features LIDAR navigation and home mapping, so it learns your space and navigates it easily. The future is now!

Mon, July 7, 2025 at 1:11pm ET

Portable power stations can come in handy, but they’re so expensive—until now. The Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 1070Wh LiFePO4 Battery Portable Power Station is $449.00, which is still pricey, yes, but less than its usual price of $799. It’s shockproof, fire resistant, and ideal for outdoor adventures or emergency situations.

Mon, July 7, 2025 at 12:21pm ET

Even more Makita! The Makita 18-volt reciprocating saw is on sale for $100, 45% off its typical price. This is a tool-only deal, so you’ll need an 18-volt Makita battery and charger to use it—no problem once you’ve beefed up that collection we’ve been talking about. This is a good saw for trimming small to medium branches in tight spaces.

Mon, July 7, 2025 at 12:04pm ET

More Makita! I told you that you could make a whole set! The Makita 18-volt, 14-inch cordless electric chainsaw is on sale for $399, 41% off its typical price. This saw comes with two 18-volt, 5-amp-hour batteries and a double charger. It accepts both batteries at once to produce 36 volts of power for cutting medium-to-large branches.

Mon, July 7, 2025 at 11:48am ET

Remember what I said about creating your own Makita lawn care kit? Here’s step two: The Makita 18-volt, 116MPH, 459 CFM blower is on sale for $140, 42% off its regular price. This is a tool-only deal, so you’ll need an 18-volt Makita battery and charger to use it, but it’s a good, basic blower for general yard clean-up.

Mon, July 7, 2025 at 11:33am ET

Or what about the Greenworks 40-volt, 16-inch cordless electric mower? It’s on sale for $194.99, which is 35% off its regular price. This mower comes with a 40-volt, 4-amp-hour battery and a charger. It’s a good basic cordless mower, but you’ll need to charge between uses, as it only comes with one battery. If you’re new to lawn maintenance, this could be a great entrypoint.

Mon, July 7, 2025 at 11:05am ET

Let’s talk landscaping for a minute. If you thought a nice lawn was out of your price range, think again. The Makita 36-volt, 18-inch cordless mower is on sale for $445, 26% off its regular price. This mower runs on two 18-volt batteries, and it comes with a set of four 4-amp-hour batteries and a charger, allowing you to have a fresh set of batteries on the charger for continuous operation. The 18-volt batteries that come with this tool are compatible with other 18-volt Makita tools, so it can be a good expansion for your existing kit—or the first step toward creating a kit.

Mon, July 7, 2025 at 10:57am ET

If you’re ready to upgrade from tracking your steps to something more performance-driven, investing in a running watch might be your best move. The Garmin Forerunner 255 running watch is designed to help runners optimize training and improve performance, and right now, it’s 43% off on Amazon, the lowest price it’s ever reached according to price trackers. With GPS tracking, comprehensive stats, free training plans, and training evaluations to monitor performance and provide feedback, it’s like a built-in running coach for your wrist.

Mon, July 7, 2025 at 10:36am ET

The JBL Xtreme 4 is pretty big, almost bordering on not being a “portable” speaker at all (though it still is), with powerful sound that can handle a large backyard barbecue party. Right now, it’s $130 off during Early Prime Day, bringing its price down to $249.95 (originally $379.95). That’s a record low price for this particular speaker, according to price tracking tools. Get it now to make your beach trips, backyard parties, and grilling sessions into dance parties for the rest of the summer.

Mon, July 7, 2025 at 10:11am ET

If you’re trying to keep an eye on your home without running wires through your walls, this 3-pack of Ring’s battery-powered Stick Up Cams might be worth a look—especially while it’s on sale: It’s currently available for $149.97 ahead of Prime Day, which isn’t exactly a budget buy but still knocks $70 off the regular price. And because these are battery-powered and weather-resistant, they’re equally suited for indoor bookshelves or outdoor patios. You could easily mount one over your entryway, angle another toward the garage, and let the third watch your living room.

Wed, July 2, 2025 at 4:38pm ET

I use surge protector power strips on most nightstands or table tops around my home, but I always look for the ones with the flat head so I can have my furniture rest against the wall without damaging the cable. This Tessan 12-in-one Tower Surge Protector Power Strip has eight outlets and four USB ports currently going for $23.79 (originally $29.74).

Wed, July 2, 2025 at 4:35pm ET

If you’re looking for a cheap portable outdoor speaker that can get wet, consider the BolaButty Portable Speaker, currently going for $19.99 (originally $34.99). It’s waterproof with an IPX5 rating and will last 20 hours before running out of juice.

Wed, July 2, 2025 at 4:10pm ET

All iPhone users, in my opinion, should own a Magsafe portable charger. The cool thing about this one is that it’s magnetic and sticks to the back of your iPhone. You can get the Ugreen Magnetic Power Bank for $22.99 (originally $34.99).

Wed, July 2, 2025 at 3:39pm ET

I recently lost my INIU Portable Charger while traveling in Europe. Luckily, it was at the end of my trip, and it had served its purpose well, saving my phone’s battery (and therefore my life) multiple times. You can get one now for $15.98 (originally $21.99).

Wed, July 2, 2025 at 3:16pm ET

The Amazon Echo Pop is already Amazon’s most budget-friendly smart speaker, but it’s cheaper than ever right now so you should absolutely get one—or more. You can use the multi-room music feature if you have multiple speakers in different rooms, so grab a few: You can get one for $21.99 right now (originally $39.99).

Wed, July 2, 2025 at 3:14pm ET

If you have a TV that isn’t smart but you don’t want to upgrade the entire device right now, you can get the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K for half off at $24.99 (originally $49.99). It supports Dolby Atmos audio, almost all the HDR formats, Amazon Luna and Xbox Game Pass cloud gaming, Wi-Fi 6, and you can install Kodi to virtually watch anything for free. Then again, if you’re in the market for an entirely new smart TV, you’ll definitely be able to find one this Prime Day season. This is just a great option otherwise.

Wed, July 2, 2025 at 2:59pm ET

You don’t need to be a spy to have tracking devices, you know. All you need to do is be a savvy shopper. As an Apple user, you can let AirTags use Find My to track anything that you can put these devices on. Right now, Amazon has single AirTags for $22.99 (originally $29).

Wed, July 2, 2025 at 2:51pm ET

Oh, you prefer wireless earbuds? That’s fine—but you still don’t want to overpay for something you could end up losing. To hedge against that, check out Soundcore by Anker P20i, a solid pair with some impressive features for their $19.99 price (originally $39.99). You get Bluetooth 5.3, 30 hours of battery, water resistance, and a full EQ with the companion app.

Wed, July 2, 2025 at 2:49pm ET

Hear us out: Yes, wired earbuds are very early 2000s, but people had the right idea back then because these never run out of batteries. If you’re in a throwback mood and still rocking an iPhone 14 Plus or below (or an iPhone SE 3rd generation), you can pick up some official Apple EarPods Headphones with a Lightning connector for $15.96 (originally $19), or one with USB-C connector for a few cents more.
