Best Apple Deals
As someone who’s tested dozens of laptops this year already, I still find myself recommending the MacBook Air M5 more than any other. It’s the most well-rounded laptop you can buy, sporting great performance, long battery life, and a razor-thin chassis. The price has gone up considerably over the past year, but that’s true of many of the best laptops. And now, it’s at its lowest price since June, making it an absolute must-buy and the top of my list for Prime Day laptop deals. —Luke Larsen
Apple AirPods Pro 3 are the best wireless earbuds for anyone with an iPhone. They’ve got best-in-class noise-canceling, an excellent transparency mode, clear and detailed audio quality, and a plethora of advanced features like built-in heart rate sensors and live translation. The heart rate sensors are particularly impressive—you can go on a run with just your phone and these earbuds and get accurate GPS, heart rate zone, and calorie data. —Harry Rabinowitz
The Mac Mini has been sold out for the majority of this year due to the rapid escalation of interest in using them as local, agentic AI machines. The brand-new M6 model is faster (and more expensive) than ever. But the fact that you can buy them at all right now feels significant, and Amazon has the best deal on the latest model you’ll find. —Luke Larsen
Apple AirPods Max 2 are the best over-ear headphones for anyone with an iPhone, MacBook, and other Apple staples. They have some of the best sound quality, noise-canceling, and transparency modes of any headphone out there. They are pricey, but $120 off sticker price makes them more in-line with options from Sony and Bose.—Harry Rabinowitz

Best Kindle Deals
While almost all of Amazon’s Kindles are on sale, the Colorsoft is one of the best. While it was also hit with a price hike at the end of August, with the base model rising to $290 from $250, you can get it for $100 off during Amazon’s sale. It has everything we like about the Paperwhite, but with a color screen (and now with Dark Mode, which it originally lacked!). For only $20 more during Amazon Big Deal Days, I’d get the Colorsoft over the Paperwhite. —Nena Farrell
If you’re looking to get the biggest discount on a new Kindle, the best sale is on the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft. It’s got an 11-inch color screen and comes with a stylus to let it double as a digital notebook. It’s the most expensive Kindle, but it also has the best discount during Amazon’s sale event. —Nena Farrell
The most affordable Kindle is the 11th-gen base Kindle, but it’s not as cheap as it used to be. It used to dip below $100 at these sale events, but Amazon raised prices for most Kindle models, so now this might be the best price we see going forward. While I’m not happy about it, I’d recommend getting it on sale versus waiting for it to go up even higher. —Nena Farrell
If you’re bummed that there’s no Kindle under $100 during Prime Day anymore, I have a solution for you. The Xteink X4 Pro Pocket E-Reader is a tiny e-reader with just a 4.3-inch display that fits in the palm of your hand (or your pocket!) It’s easy to use, and you can send web pages and articles to it easily through the app. It doesn’t have a built-in store, though, so it’s harder to get ebooks onto it. —Nena Farrell

The Best Headphone Deals
These headphones dipped down to $189 during the event, but they’re still on offer at $199, which is decent $100 off. The Nothing Headphone (1) are an excellent, stylish pair of over-ear headphones with great sound and even better battery life: up to 35 hours with noise-canceling on or 80 hours with it off. The headphones have tactile controls on each earcup I personally love—things like a volume wheel, Bluetooth pairing button, on-off switch, and media control paddle. —Harry Rabinowitz
This isn’t as good a deal as last Prime Day, but it’s still the second-lowest price I’ve seen for Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro all year. They are some of the best wireless earbuds you can get if you own an Android phone, particularly a Samsung one. The noise-canceling is great for canceling out low drones and office chatter, but the transparency might be the real standout—it sounds incredibly natural. —Harry Rabinowitz
Bose recently launched a new version of these earbuds, hence these 2024 originals being deeply discounted, matching the lowest price I’ve ever seen. They’re my top pick for premium, comfortable, great-sounding open earbuds—their only downside was price, but 33 percent off solves this problem. Despite years of newer options, I still occasionally grab these for a quick run or bike ride. —Harry Rabinowitz
We see this deal for our favorite workout earbuds pretty regularly, but they only ever get about $20 cheaper, so it’s still a solid option if you’re in the market. The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 play well with iOS and Android, have punchy sound, and feature the option for both transparency mode and active noise canceling. —Louryn Strampe

Best Smart Home Deals
Arlo ticks all the boxes with crisp 2K video, a wide 160-degree field of view, two-way audio, and direct Wi-Fi connection, and the Pro 6 tops our best outdoor security cameras guide. The Arlo app is swift to load, offers rich notifications, and supports two-factor authentication and biometric login, so you can log in with your fingerprint or face, phone permitting. The catch is a pricey, but crucial, subscription ($10 per month or $96 a year for a single camera, $20 per month or $216 a year for unlimited cameras) for subject recognition, smart alerts, and cloud storage. —Simon Hill

Tilt-Pan-Zoom webcams like the Obsbot Tiny 3 are so much more than just a webcam for video calls. The gimbal gives the camera a huge range of motion, letting you dramatically expand what you can shoot compared to a standard webcam. It’s ideal for streamers, content creators, podcasters, and online educators—or really anyone who wants to show more of their room on video. On top of that, it also has tons of interesting AI features to play with. This is a rare discount on this top-shelf webcam, too. —Luke Larsen
This dipped down to $417 for a two-pack during the sale, but it’s still discounted at a decent $432 today. Ready to upgrade your home network to enjoy the speedy delights of Wi-Fi 7? The Netgear Orbi 770 Series is easy to set up and use, delivers rock-solid, reliable performance, and offers expansive coverage. Currently topping our best mesh routers, this is the sweet spot in Netgear’s lineup, and I think it’s an ideal mesh system for most homes right now. —Simon Hill
-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Simon-Hill.jpg)
Currently top of our best Wi-Fi routers guide, this router will cover most homes and apartments up to around 2,000 square feet, with fast and reliable connectivity. It’s only dual-band, so you miss out on the 6-GHz band, but you get all the other advantages of Wi-Fi 7. It also has a generous array of ports and comes with free security software and parental controls. Support for VPN service, separate IoT or guest networks, and AiMesh rounds out an excellent device. —Simon Hill

Best AV Deals
This soundbar plus subwoofer is a fantastic way to upgrade your TV audio system for a reasonable price, especially at 25 percent off. The Polk Signa S4 is one of our favorite soundbars for that very reason: It’s simple, easy to use, sounds great, and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Sure, it doesn’t have more advanced features like Wi-Fi connectivity, voice assistant support, or multi-speaker surround sound. But if you’re coming from built-in TV speakers, this is a great first upgrade. —Harry Rabinowitz

Some of the best Samsung phones are still on sale. If you want an Android phone with real power, but prefer something that’s not too big, the Samsung Galaxy S26 is tough to beat. It’s fast, has a bright and sharp screen, a reliable triple-camera system, and good battery life. You also get seven years of software support, and the base model has jumped to 256 GB of storage. This has been cheaper, but with prices on the rise across the market, I’m not sure when it will dip again. This is still a decent discount. —Simon Hill
It dropped down to $734 during the event, but at $750, this is still a good discount on a relatively new phone. The Google Pixel 11 is the value sweet spot in Google’s new lineup, especially with this hefty discount. It combines a great camera, strong battery life, and solid performance with Qi2 25W support and slick contextual AI features. —Simon Hill

If you demand the most powerful phone Samsung makes, you’re an Ultra kind of person. Only the S26 Ultra has Samsung’s fancy Privacy Display, and it’s a big screen at 6.9 inches. You also get the biggest battery, the most versatile quad-lens camera system, and the largest vapor chamber to keep things cool, even when you’re hardcore gaming. This beast of a phone can do it all. —Simon Hill

Best Vacuum Deals
My all-time favorite robot vacuum is often on sale, but this is the lowest the price it ever goes (and used to only go as low as $800, so don’t miss it!) The Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal uses a UV light to spot stains and spills on your floor and will go back to scrub them away after doing its regular clean. It’s the smartest one I’ve tried in 2026 by a long shot, and little announcements from the base station make it easy to know when the vacuum is just cleaning versus handling stains. —Nena Farrell
I’ve always been happy with a Dreame vacuum, and former WIRED reviewer Adrienne So confirmed the Dreame X50 Ultra is a great model. It has 20,000 Pa of suction, double-roll brushes, side wands for edge cleaning, and a large-capacity docking station. She also really liked the built-in AI that can identify dirty areas in your home. —Nena Farrell
This carpet cleaner looks like a normal vacuum, but it has two removable tanks: one for warm water and detergent, and another for the dirty water it extracts while wet-washing embedded grime. A pedal-activated spray jet helps target stains, and three modes—Max, Deep, and Express—let you adjust the cleaning. It also comes with plenty of attachments, including an upholstery attachment and a stair-cleaning tool. It’s a godsend for spill-prone kids and cats that love to throw up on soft surfaces, and it’s the lowest price we’ve seen this year. —Molly Higgins

The Best TV Deals
An affordable OLED TV is rare, but this newly launched model from Sony is an exception during this sale. It’s Sony’s entry-level OLED TV, and while it might have fewer bells and whistles than the Sony Bravia 8 II, it’s far easier on your wallet and still delivers a rich picture with deep black tones and excellent color contrast. It also has Google Gemini built in, which you can use to control the picture, change settings, flip inputs, and ask about obscure sci-fi movies from the ’70s. —John Brandon

Best Deals on Toys and Games
This screen-free play stage and speaker for kids is enormous fun. Simply slot one of the wooden cartridges in the top and pop wooden character pieces on the circular soundstage, divided into four sections, to change the audio it plays. This basic functionality allows for a clever variety of themed add-on packs, including classical music and a cooking game.
The Star Wars Smart Play Throne Room Duel and A-Wing set recreates the iconic final lightsaber battle in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, as Emperor Palpatine sits on his throne, watching Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker fight. You also get an A-Wing to fly around, some imperial guards, and Smart Bricks that play sound effects and a version of “The Imperial March.” —Simon Hill

This is a solid deal on the best automatic latte and cappuccino maker we’ve tested. The Rivelia is user-friendly and easy to use, and it even has a built-in milk frother in addition to the grinder. We also like the touchscreen display and consistently tasty results. —Louryn Strampe
