Amazon Prime Day 2025<\/a> is finally here, so now\u2019s the time for members to stock up on discounted home essentials, clothing, shoes, and of course, tech. It\u2019s safe to say that Amazon\u2019s website will be overwhelming for the entirety of the event, so we wouldn\u2019t blame you if you got distracted immediately upon opening it.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve got gadgets on your wishlist, Engadget has you covered. We\u2019re surfacing the best Prime Day deals on gadgets and gear we can find for the whole of the shopping event. As in years past, Prime Day has brought solid discounts on some of our favorite tech including earbuds, tablets, robot vacuums and home devices. These are the best Prime Day deals you can get right now. We\u2019ll be updating this post regularly throughout the duration of Prime Day, so check back to see the latest discounts.<\/p>\n

Prime Day deals under $50\"Image<\/a><\/p>\n

Amazon Echo Spot for $45 (44 percent off):<\/strong><\/a> Amazon revived the Spot smart alarm clock last year, which features a half-circle shaped display that shows the time, weather and other information like song titles when you’re using the speaker to play music. It has a compact design that will make it easy to fit on a desk or a nightstand, and as with any Alexa smart speaker, you can use it to control IoT devices like smart lights, locks and more.<\/p>\n

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max for $35 ($25 off)<\/strong><\/a>: This stick handles Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, 4K video and HDR10+ and supports Wi-Fi 6E. It has the fastest processor of any Fire TV Stick and Engadget\u2019s Jeff Dunn has gotten a lot of use from the stick as a retro gaming emulator<\/a>. Of course, Amazon\u2019s user interface is less elegant (and less democratic) than others. And it highly prioritizes Prime Video content.<\/p>\n

Samsung SmartTag 2 for $18 (38 percent off):<\/strong><\/a> Samsung users looking to keep track of their stuff need look no further than the SmartTag 2. One of our top picks for the best Bluetooth trackers<\/a>, this accessory easily attaches to keys, bags and other items and uses Samsung’s large finding network to show you their last known location.<\/p>\n

Jisulife Life7 handheld fan for $25 (15 percent off):<\/strong><\/a> Jisulife makes handheld fans we’ve recommended in past gift guides<\/a> and this is one of its newer models. It can be held, folded so it sits flat on a table or worn around your neck for a cool breeze wherever you’re going. It has an easy-to-read display in its center that will show you the fan speed level or current battery life, and its 5,000 mAh battery can last up to 19.5 hours on a single charge when you’re running the fan on its lowest setting.<\/p>\n

Leebein Electric Spin Scrubber for $40 (43 percent off):<\/strong><\/a> This was my favorite thing I bought last year<\/a> because it makes the must-detested chore of cleaning my shower less of a pain. It’s an electric spin scrubber that comes with multiple cleaning heads so you can use it on your countertops, sinks, tubs and showers and more. It also has an adjustable arm so you can reach tough spots in hard-to-reach places, and it convenient recharges via USB-C.<\/p>\n

Blink Outdoor 4 (one camera system) for $45 (55 percent off):<\/strong><\/a> These security cameras<\/a> are some of our favorites, and you can start building a system for your home with this pack that includes one Outdoor 4 camera and one Sync Module 2. These Blink cameras record 1080p video, support two-way talk and deliver speedy and accurate motion alerts to your phone. You don’t need a subscription to save footage either; just use a thumb drive with the Sync Module 2 to save clips locally.<\/p>\n

Audible Premium Plus (three months) for $3 ($42 off):<\/strong><\/a> New subscribers can get three months of Audible for only $3, which represents a $42 discount. The Premium Plus tier gives you one book credit per month to use on any audiobook the service has, and you can stream any of the included titles for free on top of that. Audible also has members-only sales and discounts that you’ll be able to take advantage of, too. The deal runs through July 31.<\/p>\n

Prime Day Apple deals\"Image<\/a><\/p>\n

Apple AirPods Pro 2 for $160 (36 percent off):<\/strong><\/a> The AirPods Pro 2 remain Apple\u2019s best set of wireless earbuds, as they offer the full set of Apple-focused features, strong ANC, onboard volume controls, a comfy in-ear design and a warm sound profile that most should find agreeable. They can even work as a hearing aid<\/a> now.<\/p>\n

AirPods Max (USB-C) for $450 ($100 off):<\/strong><\/a> If you\u2019re looking for over-ear headphones with all of the conveniences of in-ear AirPods, the AirPods Max are one of your only options (with the others being Beats devices). The latest models have the same design as the originals, but now charge up via USB-C instead of Lightning.<\/p>\n

Apple iPad (A16) for $299 ($50 off)<\/strong><\/a>: The latest base model iPad comes with a faster A16 chip, 2GB more RAM and 128GB of storage as standard. It earned a score of 84<\/a> in our review \u2014 if you only need an iPad for roaming the internet, watching shows and doing some lighter productivity tasks, it’s a good starter tablet.<\/p>\n

Apple Watch Series 10 for $299 ($100 off):<\/strong><\/a> We consider Apple\u2019s flagship wearable to be the best smartwatch<\/a> you can buy, period. It’s a mostly iterative update<\/a>, with faster charging, a slightly slimmer design and a marginally larger display than the prior Series 9. That said, it’s still a comprehensive fitness tracker, and no other smartwatch can integrate as neatly with iPhones and other Apple devices.<\/p>\n

Apple MacBook Air (13-inch, M4) for $849 (15 percent off):<\/strong><\/a> Apple continues to iterate on its most affordable laptop, and the M4 is the best Air yet. We consider this to be the best laptop<\/a> for most people, thanks to its excellent performance, thing-and-light design, comfortable keyboard and trackpad and excellent battery life.<\/p>\n

Prime Day laptop deals\"Image<\/a><\/p>\n

Microsoft Surface Laptop (13.8-inch, Snapdragon X Plus) for $880 (27 percent off):<\/strong><\/a> In addition to running on a Snapdragon X Plus processor, this 2024 Surface Laptop has 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. It’s a Copilot+ PC that also has a 13.8-inch touchscreen, and it should last up to 20 hours on a single charge.<\/p>\n

Google Pixelbook Go (13-inch, Intel Core M3) for $319 (51 percent off):<\/strong><\/a> The Pixelbook Go<\/a> is a bit old at this point, but if you’re a Chrome OS lover and want a Google-made laptop, this is a solid option. It includes an Intel Core M3 processor, 8GB of RAM, 64GB of storage and a 12-hour battery life.<\/p>\n

Prime Day tech deals\"Image<\/a><\/p>\n

Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones for $298 (25 percent off):<\/strong><\/a> While the XM6 headphones are the latest and greatest, they only make small changes to the already stellar XM5. These were our top pick for the best wireless headphones<\/a> for a long time before the XM6 launched earlier this year, and we still like them for their excellent sound quality, strong ANC, multi-device connectivity and good battery life.<\/p>\n

Instant Pot Duo Plus 9-in-1 multicooker for $70 (50 percent off):<\/strong><\/a> This six-quart pressure cooker and multicooker is a versatile kitchen tool for anyone who (somehow) didn’t buy into the Instant Pot craze a few years back. It can do a lot with its nine cooking modes, including pressure cook, slow cook, steam, rice cook, saute and more, and the six-quart size is great for families and meal-preppers.<\/p>\n

iRobot Roomba Vacuum and Mop Combo for $140 (49 percent off):<\/strong><\/a> A version of one of our top favorite robot vacuums<\/a>, this budget-friendly machine comes with a water reservoir that allows it to mop hard floors. It connects via Wi-Fi to the iRobot app as well, which lets you set cleaning schedules and further control the machine.<\/p>\n

Kindle Scribe for $260 ($140 off):<\/strong><\/a> The Scribe is one of the best E-Ink tablets<\/a> you can buy at the moment, and certainly the top pick if you want a writable table that also excels as an ereader. It provides a great reading and writing experience, thanks in part to its ability to access the entire Kindle ebook library, and it has handy Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive and Dropbox integration.<\/p>\n

Ninja Dual-Zone air fryer (10 quart) for $180 ($50 off)<\/strong><\/a>: This model is one of our favorite air fryers thanks to its dual-zone cooking system, which allows you to prepare two separate foods at different temperatures and settings. There’s even a Match Cook feature that ensures both foods will be done at the same time, regardless of their cooking settings.<\/p>\n

Levoit Core 400S air purifier for $183 ($37 off):<\/strong><\/a> Our top pick for the best air purifier<\/a>, Levoit’s Core 400S reliably improved air quality in our testing, plus it has easy to use onboard controls and replaceable filters that are not too expensive<\/a>. We also found it to not be offensively loud, even on its highest setting.<\/p>\n

TP-Link Deco XE75 Wi-Fi 6E mesh system for $250 (29 percent off with code DECOXE75):<\/strong><\/a> Our top pick for the best mesh Wi-Fi system<\/a>, this Deco XE75 three-pack is easy to set up and provides excellent performance with no-frills. The Deco mobile app lets you check speeds for each node, and you can see all of the devices on your network at any time.<\/p>\n

Ring Doorbell Battery + Indoor Cam 2 for $70 (50 percent off):<\/strong><\/a> If you’re looking to build out a security system in your home, this bundle is a good place to start, giving you a video doorbell and an indoor security camera. You’ll be able to see both live feeds in the Ring app, and they can send you motion alerts and let you speak to people on the other end of the camera when you’re not at home.<\/p>\n

Amazon Fire TV Cube for $90 ($50 off)<\/strong><\/a>: Amazon’s most powerful streaming device, the Fire TV Cube can play 4K video with Dolby Vision and HDR10+, plus it supports Wi-Fi 6E and has a built-in Ethernet port for those who want a hardwired connection.<\/p>\n

Amazon 55-inch Omni mini-LED Fire smart TV for $700 ($120 off):<\/strong><\/a> A top-of-the-line model in the Fire TV family, this set has a 4K QLED mini-LED display with 1,400 nits of peak brightness and “intelligence picture” technology that adapts the screen to your room’s lighting conditions. It also has a 144Hz refresh rate and support for AMD FreeSync.<\/p>\n

What is Prime Day?<\/p>\n

Prime Day is Amazon’s members-only shopping event, which means you\u2019ll have to be a Prime subscriber on Prime Day to take advantage of most of the savings. Amazon still offers a 30-day free trial<\/a> to new Prime subscribers, so you can start your free trial closer to July and participate in the event.<\/p>\n

When is Prime Day 2025?<\/p>\n

Amazon Prime Day 2025<\/a> will be back this year on July 8 through July 11.<\/p>\n

How often is Prime Day?<\/p>\n

Amazon Prime Day typically comes around annually in July. In the last few years, Amazon has also had its “Big Deal Days” in October, which is effectively a second Prime Day and the unofficial kickoff to the holiday shopping season.<\/p>\n

How does Prime Day work?<\/p>\n

Prime subscribers can go to Amazon’s site on Prime Day to see all of the exclusive deals they have access to. Prime subscribers do not have to do anything additional to get Prime Day sales: the discounts you see on product pages will show up in your cart automatically. If you’re not a Prime subscriber and you go to Amazon to shop on Prime Day, you’ll likely see tons of items on sale but only “with Prime;” those discounts will not be available to those who are not active Prime subscribers.<\/p>\n

Is Prime Day only for Prime members?<\/p>\n

Technically yes, but even if you do not pay for a Prime membership, you should still check out Amazon on Prime Day. While most Prime Day deals will be exclusively available to subscribers, there are always a handful of sales available to all shoppers. Amazon distinguishes between them very clearly: you’ll see “Prime exclusive” on product pages near the deal pricing on the discounts that are only available to paying members.<\/p>\n

Separately, it\u2019s very likely that other retailers like Walmart, Target and Best Buy will have their own competing Prime Day sales during that time frame, too. So if you’re not keen on shopping at Amazon at all, it’s worth checking out other retailers during the week of Prime Day to see if they are matching Prime Day deal prices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amazon Prime Day 2025 is finally here, so now\u2019s the time for members to stock up on discounted…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":48268,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[3772,3770,2294,51,50,1695,2107,3771,3769,52],"class_list":{"0":"post-48267","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-commerce","9":"tag-engadgetdeals","10":"tag-gear","11":"tag-headlines","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-prime-day","14":"tag-shopping","15":"tag-streamshopping","16":"tag-thebuyersguide","17":"tag-top-stories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114816791655399652","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48267","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48267"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48267\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48268"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48267"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
