Taking place over two days (Tuesday 16 July and Wednesday 17 July), the retailer’s event is exclusive to Prime members. Amazon’s site-wide version of Black Friday, the deals are arguably just as good as the November sale.

Naturally, we’re on hand to take you through the very best deals that Amazon has to offer, plucking out the good discounts and chucking out the bad – starting now. From top shopping tips to the best bargains to shop now, consider this your Prime Day cheet sheet.

This is the best Prime Day deal on a Eufy robot vacuum

Taking the hassle out of cleaning your home, I’ve had a robot vacuum on the wishlist for a while – but they don’t come cheap. Prime Day has only just begin but I’ve potentially found the best deal on a model already. Reduced by more than 50 per cent, this Eufy model is tried and tested, and just over £100.

When it comes to vacuum cleaners, suction is vital. In our round-up of the best robot vacuum cleaners, our expert tester noted that the Eufy robovac 15c has “good suction for the price, and handles dirt and dust on hardwood floors and medium-pile rugs with ease.”

If you have a mix of floors in your home, “the sensors can tell when the robot moves from carpet to hard floors and adjusts the suction strength to suit the situation.” The robot’s compact, slim 7.2cm height also allows it to glide under furniture effortlessly, tackling areas that you’d otherwise have to bend down to reach.

A two-day shopping bonanza, the Prime Day sale is always an ideal time to shop the latest Apple products you’ve had your eye on, including new AirPods, iPhones, iPads, MacBooks and Apple Watches at cut-rate prices. Given that discounts on Apple products are a rarity at the best of times, it’s worth making the most of the deals.

Best Amazon Prime Day tips

Myself and the IndyBest team have been covering the Amazon Prime Day since it started in 2015. We’ve been plucking out discounts and tracking prices for years, so, we know when something’s a good deal and when it’s a dud.

True to form, we’ll be highlighting the very best deals on all the most sought-after products in this non-stop liveblog, every waking (and sleeping) hour of the 48-hour sale.

To get prepared, if there are any items you’re desperate to get your hands on, we recommend adding them to your wish list ahead of time, so you can check out more quickly when the sale rolls around. It’s also worth downloading the Amazon app – the retailer will continue to drop “lightning deals” throughout the sale, and these are only around for a few hours at a time. You can also set up alerts, so you’re pinged when a discount goes live.

Amazon has released the new Echo Spot in celebration of Prime Day

To celebrate the arrival of Amazon Prime Day, the ecommerce giant has re-launched a new and improved Amazon Echo Spot, complete with better sound and no invasive camera like its predecessor.

According to Alex, the Echo Spot essentially pulls together the best bits of an Echo Show 5 and an Echo Dot with Clock, sitting in between the two devices in terms of form and functionality.

The all-new Amazon Echo Spot is an Alexa-enabled smart alarm clock that can be customised with your own colour preference. The 2.83in screen can be set to violet, magenta, orange, teal, blue and lime colourways. The gradual light-up display shows the time, weather and music playing, but also flashes up neat animations in response to certain phrases. You can also choose your own clock face and tap the device to snooze your alarm, and adjust playback as songs are playing

What is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day is an annual sale event that takes place over two days, seeing the retailer discount the price of thousands of products from big-name brands, including Apple, Samsung, KitchenAid, Shark, Simba, Ninja and more.

Prime members receive exclusive access to thousands of deals on top brands (name-dropping a few specific ones) as well as big savings on Amazon’s own devices and services – we’re talking Ring doorbells, Fire TV sticks and offers on Audible books and memberships.

In 2022, Amazon began hosting more than one Prime Day-style sale a year, starting with the Prime Early Access Sale in October. It now hosts three sales a year – the Amazon Spring Sale in March (which is open to non-Prime subscribers), Amazon Prime Day in July and the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days Sale in October. But the summer sale is still the biggest and best.
