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 Best Headphone Deals
This is the lowest price ever for the Nothing Headphone (1), 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
The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 remain our top earbuds for Android users (they also work with iOS). They’re aesthetically pleasing. They sound great. They’re comfortable and have a long-lasting battery and active noise cancellation, plus some useful software features. If you want good earbuds that aren’t AirPods, these might be up your alley. —Louryn Strampe

Best Smart Home Deals
Amazon launched two new Echo Show smart displays last year, and the Echo Show 11 was easily the better of the two. The sound is better, and the screen is larger—but not so large that it’s a pain to put on a kitchen counter. Amazon did raise the price by $30 at the end of August, but this is still the lowest deal price I’ve seen for it since its launch. —Nena Farrell
The Echo Studio has been our favorite Echo speaker for the sound quality since the original model, and the second-generation version packs fantastic sound like its predecessor. I also love that its price didn’t increase between the two generations, or after Amazon’s price hike in August. It’s still one of the more expensive models, even on sale, so I’d choose it only if you have a massive room you’re trying to fill with sound. But it’s also the only new Echo that didn’t get a price increase, so this sale isn’t just a trick of the numbers. —Nena Farrell
A good smart plug is handy all over the house. I really like this set from TP-Link’s Tapo brand because the plugs are Matter-certified, making them easy to pair with any existing smart home ecosystem, and have a small form factor so they won’t block the other outlets. I like them best for controlling lamps that don’t fit for a smart bulb, but you could use them for all kinds of things. —Nena Farrell
If you want a really great, reliable automatic litter box but don’t need extras like AI recognition or an internal camera to watch, I think this is the best model. In fact, it’s the automatic litter box I recommend for most people. It’s an upgrade from the Petkit PuraMax 2 (which I also loved). It has a larger opening and better odor control than the previous model. It also has a connected app, where you can monitor usage and adjust settings from afar. At less than $400, this is a pretty cheap price point for a model of this caliber. —Molly Higgins
If you’re looking for a cheap automatic pet feeder in a home with two pets and you don’t need all of the bells and whistles, I recommend this model. It’s a solid, inexpensive dual feeder with a connected app where you can customize feeding plans of up to six meals a day, and it also has a knob on the front to plan meals if you want to go analog. Plus, I loved the hygienic stainless steel inserts that can be removed for easier cleaning. This is the lowest price we’ve seen all year. —Molly Higgins
I recommend that every cat parent invest in an automatic pet water fountain. The moving water keeps cats interested in drinking, and increased hydration helps fight against a myriad of potential health issues, especially in dehydration-prone housecats. This glass model not only looks elegant, but the glass is naturally less bacteria-harboring than porous plastic, making it more hygienic. This model is large, heavy, and needs a bigger footprint, but water stays cleaner and fresher for longer. This is the lowest price we’ve seen this year by about $10. —Molly Higgins

If you value aesthetics and still want a solid small-to-midsize room air purifier, you may like this discounted model from Windmill. It has a chic Scandinavian look, with bamboo paneling that makes it look more like furniture than most other models I’ve tested. It has an intuitive connected app that integrates with other products in the Windmill ecosystem. It also has an internal sensor and indicator light that make it easy to tell the air quality at a glance. —Molly Higgins

When it comes to monitors, all most people need is something reliable, comfortable to use, and not horrifically ugly. That’s underselling the Dell S2725HSM, despite its price. It’s a basic 1080p resolution, but it has really solid image quality, and it even comes with a 144-Hz refresh rate. All those features are heightened when it’s on sale for just $130, too. That’s the biggest price drop I’ve seen on this monitor in a while. —Luke Larsen
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
On its own, this is a decent 4K webcam with all the typical high-end webcam trappings. But this one has a trick up its sleeve: Being able to easily switch between portrait and landscape. And because it magnetically attaches to the mount, it works just as well in both modes. For anyone shooting social videos, it’s extremely handy. —Luke Larsen
Your laptop probably doesn’t have all the ports you might need. I like this one because it matches a MacBook pretty nicely, and provides nine ports in one, providing everything from hard-wired Ethernet to an HDMI to support an external 4K display. It’s useful enough to just leave on your desk or toss in your bag on trips. The peace of mind of knowing you won’t run ever be caught off guard without the port you need is priceless.—Luke Larsen
This tri-band Wi-Fi 7 mesh is the best subscription-free mesh system for most people. A two-pack will be enough to cover most homes, and each router has two 10-Gbps Ethernet ports, one Gigabit port, and a USB 3.0 port. Asus allows you to tinker with and configure everything and offers comprehensive security software and parental controls at no extra cost (you can even redeem a free year of NordVPN service with this mesh). Clip the on-page coupon to save. —Simon Hill
The Branch Ergonomic Chair Pro is both our favorite office chair and our favorite gaming chair. It’s incredibly comfortable and features several points of adjustment so you can fine-tune your experience. It’s also high-quality and easy to assemble. You can’t beat the value offered for the price. —Louryn Strampe

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
-Reviewer-Photo-SOURCE-Ryan-Waniata.jpg)
This is our favorite portable Bluetooth speaker. It delivers huge sound, and is small and durable enough to carry on any adventure. It also has IP68 water resistance, an easy-release strap, and a two-hour battery boost (or four if you reduce the bass). —Louryn Strampe
I’m not going to act like 20 percent off is a huge bargain, but this is an iconic turntable and our number one pick from our best turntable guide. It’s durable, upgradable, and sounds great out of the box. Physically owning music, whether that’s vinyl or CD, is in vogue in 2026, and this USB-enabled turntable lets you plug in directly into your computer to rip your records to MP3 files. —Harry Rabinowitz

The best Samsung phones are 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
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

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
Roborock has been launching new robot vacuums left and right, particularly in its more affordable Qrevo line, and one of the best we’ve tested is the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow. It’s a great vacuum with a roller mop and 20,000 Pa of suction, and its little base station feels sleek and painless to add to your home. —Nena Farrell
I usually see a lot of Dyson vacuums on sale during events like these, and the slightly older Dyson V15 is often one of them. Now that there are newer models, the V15’s sale price is just under $600, and it’s a good price for a Dyson vacuum that comes with both a hard floor and all-floor cleaner head, plus a crevice tool. There’s an LCD screen too, which you won’t find on Dyson’s new, more affordable models. —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

Why settle for a dull black brick when you can snag translucent tech that looks like it came from a Cyberpunk world? This isn’t just the best-looking power bank, it’s also functionally awesome. It can supply up to 170 watts, has an ample 24,000-mAh capacity, and scores an IP66 rating for water resistance, meaning there’s no need to worry about rain. —Simon Hill

The Smartish Side Hustle is one of our favorite MagSafe wallets. These kinds of wallets can be tricky to use in daily life, but this wallet is designed to pop cards out for you, saving time at the register. This price is the best we’ve tracked. —Louryn Strampe

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

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.

Best Kitchen and Coffee Deals
If you’re looking to cut down on food waste but don’t want to deal with smelly compost containers and mess, FoodCycler 3 is one of my top picks for this purpose. Put your peels, cores, and wilted herbs into the included 3.5-liter countertop bucket; when it’s full, seat it right in the machine, which will then grind and dry your scraps to a fine powder. You can then top-dress your lawn with the resultant “Foodilizer,” put it in your yard waste bin, or even mix it with soil (1:10 ratio) to use in your garden. —Kat Merck
My parents bought this bread machine years ago because it was one of the only models with a ceramic pan and no suspicious nonstick coatings. They handed it down to me, and I still have it. It works flawlessly, turning out ball-shaped 1-, 1.5-, or 2-lb. loaves. It doesn’t have as much versatility as higher-end machines like the Zojirushi Virtuoso, which does a better job with specialty breads, but if you’re interested in making your own basic, preservative-free loaves without having to mess with starters, kneading, and all-day rising schedules, this machine is the best value out there. —Kat Merck
The Solo Stove Pi Prime is an excellent pizza oven, with an elegant and functional design that is more round than oval. It’s propane-powered and has solid wind shielding, and it won’t take up too much space in your backyard. —Louryn Strampe
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
Athletic Greens has a newer formula with a few additional ingredients, but the Classic formula is cheaper than we’ve seen before. This brand doesn’t go on sale often. I noticed smoother digestion and higher energy levels when I tested this greens powder, which can be a beneficial way to supplement your diet in addition to whole fruits and veggies. —Louryn Strampe

Best Gaming Deals
I’ve tried many mobile gaming controllers, and the Backbone One remains the best. It feels great, it’s fast and tactile, and the app makes finding new games easy. This price comes within $5 of the best we’ve seen. —Louryn Strampe
In the world of PC gaming, this keyboard truly qualifies as a classic. It’s a few years old at this point, but this wireless, mechanical gaming keyboard is extremely balanced and well-made. The tenkeyless layout gives you everything you need without overtaking your desk (or getting in the way of your mouse hand), and the design has some flash without overdoing it. —Luke Larsen
The Steelcase Gesture is our recommendation for a premium office chair. If you want something that feels a little more luxurious and cushy, it’s a very safe bet. It still has several elegant points of adjustment and the foam seat is plush and comfortable. —Louryn Strampe

The Best Camera Deals
The wee little Lit Hero is GoPro’s smallest, lightest, cheapest action camera. It’s my favorite GoPro for selfies thanks to the included light. The cluster of four LEDs next to the lens ensures this camera keeps you well-lit in every scene. The Lit Hero isn’t quite as capable video-wise as the Hero 13 Black (also on sale, see below), but it can shoot 4K at 60 fps, and the battery held up for a respectable 101 minutes during my test (shooting a 4K 60 fps video). —Scott Gilbertson
Health and Fitness Deals
The Theragun Relief is our budget Theragun pick, and at $100, it’s an even cheaper buy. It’s an older 2023 model, but massage guns don’t need the latest features to be effective. You get three attachments and three speed settings, and it’s half the weight of the Pro Plus, making it much easier to pack for travel. I’ve seen the price drop slightly lower, but $100 is still a solid discount on one of our favorite percussive guns. —Boutayna Chokrane

Samsung’s newer Galaxy Watch9 is a modest upgrade, with a faster processor, slightly larger battery, and additional health metrics that may not be useful for everyone. The processor doesn’t make a dramatic difference in everyday use, and the larger battery doesn’t translate to a longer battery life. At $260, the Watch8 is $120 less than its successor; it’s a compelling option if you don’t need the latest model. —Boutayna Chokrane
The Google Pixel Watch 5 is a stunning smartwatch with a round face and it’s your best bet if you use an Android phone. It can track your activity, sleep, and multiple health markers automatically, and it works seamlessly with Gemini. Subscribers can also get coached by Google Health. —Simon Hill
Smart scales can be tough to justify when they cost hundreds of dollars, but $69 off makes our top pick even easier to recommend. The Withings Body Comp is among the most advanced smart scales we’ve tested, with a companion app that can track data for up to eight users. It’s also meant to last a lifetime; WIRED reviewer Christopher Null has Withings info dating back to 2010 and plans to keep the streak going. —Boutayna Chokrane
