  • Great Prime Day deal: iRobot Roomba Combo Essential robot vacuum and mop for $190, down from $275

    The Roomba Essentials Combo machine is on sale for $190 right now. This model ups the ante a bit by adding in mopping capabilities to the usual robot-vacuum formula. Admittedly, not everyone will need (or want) mopping capabilities in their robovac. But it’s a convenient feature to have, especially if you have a mix of hard and carpeted floors in your home.

  • Prime Day is the best time of the year to pick up Echo speakers, Kindle ereaders, Fire TV devices and any other gadget made by Amazon. Yes, the discounts during this members-only event can be even better than those you’ll find during Black Friday (even if by only a few dollars). We particularly recommend snagging a new Kindle now if you’ve been eyeing one

    The Ninja Creami ice cream maker is on sale for $150, which is $50 off the list price and within a dollar of its all-time low. The machine earned a high score of 90 in our review, with our reviewer saying it “makes your frozen dreams come true.”He liked how quickly and easily it made ice cream, and was impressed with its ability to make other treats, like sorbets and froyo. And even though this took up a bit of space in his small kitchen, it’s something he’s willing to make room for.

  • Great Prime Day deal: Fitbit Charge 6 for $100, down from $160

    The Fitbit Charge 6’s popularity lies in the fact that it has over 40 exercise modes for it to track, up from 20 with the Fitbit Charge 5. You can pair the watch with any exercise machine that has Bluetooth compatibility so that you can see your heart rate in real time during your workout. It also has a side button that works the touchscreen to navigate the tracker’s interface, an ECG app that warns you when your heartbeats become irregular and an EDA sensor that tells you how your body responds to stress.

  • You can count on Amazon Prime Day to bring solid deals on all things gaming, be it gaming laptops, keyboards, mice, controllers and everything in between. Video games themselves are a little hit-or-miss during this shopping event, but even so, it’s a great time to upgrade pieces of your kit that you’ve used for years on end.

  • Great Prime Day deal: Google Pixel 7a for $249, down from $499

    An Amazon Prime Day deal has discounted the Google Pixel 7a down to a record-low price. The phone, which only launched last year, typically costs $500 but is available now for half off at $250. Even at its full price, the Google Pixel 7a is a well-rounded device that balances cost and power. At half off, it’s worth looking at if you have an older (or lower-end) Android phone and want features and specs that won’t be dramatically inferior to many flagship handsets.

  • Great Prime Day deal: Dyson Airwrap bundle for $550, down from $675

    This bundle with the Dyson Airwrap is down to the best price we’ve ever seen. In addition to the Airwrap itself and its storage case, the bundle includes six attachments: two long barrels, three brushes and the Coanda smoothing dryer, plus a filter cleaning brush, a detangling comb and another storage bag. That’s enough to achieve a bunch of different hairstyles with one tool, and you get a couple of ways to store the machine when you’re not using it or when you need to travel with it.

  • Yes, there are good Prime Day deals under $50 — even in the tech category. Plenty of your favorite gadgets come in at $50 or less normally, but Prime Day typically means you can grab them on sale for notably low prices. A standout this year is the Roku Streaming Stick 4K for $29.

  • If you’re feeling left out because you’re not a Prime subscriber, fear not. Plenty of other retailers including Walmart and Target have their own sales to compete with the likes of Amazon. The big secret? Many of the best Prime Day deals are being matched at other stores, so you can avoid the Prime requirement all together and still save money if you’re willing to shop elsewhere.

  • Great Prime Day deal: Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones for $298, down from $400

    These over-ear headphones have all the bells and whistles you could ask for, including a fantastic noise cancellation system, a new audio processor, multipoint connections, touch controls, voice controls and more. There are plenty of reasons why these cans topped our list of the best wireless Bluetooth headphones.

  • Great Prime Day deal: Anker MagGo Power Bank 10K for $63, down from $90

    Anker’s MagGo Power Bank is our choice for the best MagSafe-compatible power bank on the market. It was one of the earliest Qi2-certified devices to hit shelves, and this early 2024 model is impressive, to say the least. The 10,000mAh and 15W capacities provide you with fast wireless charging. The power bank can bring an iPhone 15 from near-dead to half-charged in just 45 minutes — a feat some of our other top contenders have taken twice as long to do.

  • Apple AirPods Pro for $169: The Pros are the best pair of wireless earbuds that Apple sells and one of our top picks overall. They’ll be hard to beat if you live in the Apple ecosystem and appreciate the conveniences provided by the built-in H1 chip.

  • Apple AirTag for $24: We think these are the best Bluetooth trackers you can buy if you’re an iPhone user. They rely on Apple’s vast Find My network that calls on every nearby iPhone to anonymously pinpoint an AirTag’s location. We found their locating features to be eerily accurate.

  • Apple Watch Series 9 for $280: We consider the Series 9 to be the best smartwatch available today, period, and it’s a no-brainer accessory for iPhone owners. If you want to spend less and get most of the code features found here, you should consider the more affordable Apple Watch SE.

  • AirPods Max for $395: We gave this pair a review score of 84 when it arrived way back in December 2020. Despite its age, the Max remains one of the more premium sets of wireless headphones you can buy.

  • Apple 10th-gen iPad: This is the best iPad for those on a budget thanks to its modern design, USB-C charging, solid battery life and solid performance for the price. It’s even compatible with an optional folio keyboard if you want to turn it into a productivity machine.

  • Apple MacBook Air (M3, 13-inch) for $850: Apple’s 2024 MacBook Air has a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina Display that can support one billion different colors. We gave it a 90 in our review thanks to offers like a 1080p FaceTime HD camera, three mics and up to 18 hours of battery life.

  • Apple MacBook Air (M2, 13-inch) for $799: If you’re coming from an older, Intel-based MacBook, any M-series machine will feel like a big upgrade. This M2 laptop excels thanks to its stellar performance, excellent screen and thin-and-light design.

Amazon Echo Show 8 Prime DayAmazon Echo Show 8 Prime Day

Amazon

  • Amazon Echo Dot for $25: Amazon’s smallest smart speaker has dropped to $25 for Prime Day. It’s one of the best smart speakers you can get right now thanks to its compact design, physical button controls that compliment voice commands and its solid sound quality for its size. The Kids version is also on sale for $28 for this sale.

  • Amazon Echo Show 8 for $85: The smart display has dropped to $85 for Prime Day. This is our current top pick for the best smart display with Amazon’s Alexa thanks in part to its 8-inch touchscreen, 13MP camera that supports auto-framing for better video chats and its built-in Zigbee smart home hub.

  • Amazon Kindle for $85: The base Kindle is on sale for $85 for Prime Day. It’s our top pick for the best budget ereader out there, and it’s an even better value when you can snag it on discount. In addition to giving you access to Amazon’s vast Kindle ebook library, the entry-level Kindle has a good number of page customization options (for text size, font, margins, etc) and Audible integration, which lets you listen to Audible audiobooks if you have a pair of Bluetooth headphones.

Sony WH-1000XM5 Prime DaySony WH-1000XM5 Prime Day

Engadget

  • Sony WH-1000XM5 for $289: These are our top pick for the best headphones on the market today — it doesn’t get much better than the XM5. If you’re on a tight budget and still want the core features in these cans, consider the previous version, the Sony WH-1000XM4.

  • Anker Soundcore Space A40 for $49: These buds top our guide to the best budget wireless earbuds due to its impressive ANC, wireless charging and multi-device pairing support, comfy fit and 8-10 hours of battery life.

  • Google Pixel Buds Pro for $120: The Pixel Buds Pro made our list of the best wireless earbuds for a number of reasons. First and foremost, we love the sound. These earbuds offer deep and punchy bass, which is a rarity with this class of device. They also have decent ANC, reliable touch controls and wireless charging.

  • Beats Fit Pro for $150: These are our top picks for the best headphones for running thanks to their comfortable, IPX4 design, great sound quality with adaptive EQ, good ANC and transparency mode and solid battery life.

  • Sony WF-1000XM5 for $228: The XM5 earbuds stand out thanks to their improved design, good sound quality, impressive ANC and special features like adaptive sound and Speak to Chat. These are the best true wireless earbuds to get at the moment.

  • Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds for $229: Bose has consistently provided the best wireless earbuds for noise cancellation, and the QC Ultra are the latest and our top pick at the moment.

Samsung Frame TV Prime DaySamsung Frame TV Prime Day

  • Samsung The Frame TV with white bezel for $998: You’d mainly get a Frame TV for the aesthetic, as the whole thing is designed to mount flush against a wall and hang like a piece of art. You can even use it to display actual artwork and photos when you aren’t watching something. Its image quality is still decent as well, though it’s not on the level of the best LED TVs in this price range.

  • Roku Streaming Stick 4K for $29: One of the best streaming devices available today, this model supports 4K HDR content, long-range Wi-Fi, Apple AirPlay and private listening through the companion mobile app.

  • Sonos Ray for $199: In our testing, this soundbar provided good sound quality for both TV audio and music, impressive bass performance for a soundbar of its size and an attractive, compact design.

  • Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra for $975: This handset is probably overkill for most users, but nevertheless, it’s our top pick for the best premium handset in our best Android phones guide. It stands out for its luxe build quality, speedy performance, excellent cameras and handy new AI tools.

  • Google Pixel 8a for $449: This is our top pick for the best midrange smartphone you can get right now, as it builds off of the solid foundation found in Google’s Pixel 7a. The 8a boasts a colorful 120Hz OLED touchscreen, excellent cameras, solid performance and a good battery life.

  • Anker MagGo Power Bank 10K for $63: Anker’s MagGo Power Bank was one of the earliest Qi2-certified devices on the market, and this early 2024 model is impressive, to say the least. The 10,000mAh and 15W capacities provide you with fast wireless charging. The power bank can bring an iPhone 15 from near-dead to half-charged in just 45 minutes.

  • Sonos Era 100 for $199: In our testing, this speaker impressed with excellent sound quality (along with even better stereo-pair sound), easier TruePlay tuning, Bluetooth and in-line support and a simple yet attractive design. It’s on our list of the best smart speakers you can get thanks to its Alexa compatibility and it’s ability to work with Sonos’ own voice assistant

  • Ninja Creami ice cream maker for $150: This machine earned a high score of 90 in our review, with our reviewer saying it “makes your frozen dreams come true.”

  • Dyson V15 Detect Plus for $550: The V15 Detect is our top pick for the best cordless vacuum you can get right now because it has fantastic suction power (making it great for pet owners as well as anyone else), a lightweight design and good battery life — plus it comes with a number of useful attachments.

  • Dyson Airwrap bundle for $550: In addition to the Airwrap and its storage case, the bundle includes six attachments: two long barrels, three brushes and the Coanda smoothing dryer, plus a filter cleaning brush, a detangling comb and another storage bag. That’s enough to achieve a bunch of different hairstyles with one tool, and you get a couple of ways to store the machine when you’re not using it or when you need to travel with it.

  • iRobot Roomba Combo Essentials for $190: This model ups the ante a bit by adding in mopping capabilities to the usual robot-vacuum formula. It’s the most affordable vac-and-mop machine that iRobot makes, and it’s an even better buy at this sale price.

  • Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum for $295: A version of one of our top picks for the best robot vacuums, it supports cleaning schedules and home mapping, plus it comes with a self-emptying base that can hold up to 60 days worth of debris. The base is also bagless, so you don’t have to buy and replace proprietary garbage bags in it over time.

  • Theragun Mini 2.0 for $149: The runners on the Engadget staff appreciate this percussion massage gun for its compact size, three speeds and swappable attachments.

  • Fitbit Charge 6 for $100: The Charge 6 sits at the top of our list of the best fitness trackers you can get precisely because it has such a comprehensive feature set. It also has a seven-day battery life, so you won’t have to worry about recharging it for days on end.
