Our deals editors have spent hours sifting through the offers and researching past discounts and prices for every item featured below. We separated the great from the not-so-great to create this list of the best Amazon Prime Day deals you can find right now.

So far, standout deals include the 2nd Gen Apple AirPods and Amazon Fire TV Stick at all-time low prices, plus 25% off the TikTok-viral Ninja Creami (bringing it to its lowest price since 2022). While these are some of our favorite deals, every other product listed is either at an all-time low price on Amazon or one of its lowest prices of 2024. We’ll continue to update this list today and tomorrow to bring you current deal info. Here are the 69 best Prime Day deals we’ve found so far.

The Top 10 Best Prime Day Deals At A Glance


Best Prime Day Deals: TVs And Streaming Devices

Pick up Amazon’s best-selling streaming device for just $18. This latest version of the Amazon Fire TV Stick is faster and more powerful than previous iterations, allowing you to stream your favorite shows, movies and can’t-miss sports games in crisp HD. 

Why It’s A Good Deal: This is an all-time low price on the 3rd-generation Fire TV Stick. 


Best Prime Day Deals: Laptops And Tablets

Discounts on Apple products are rare, but with this Prime Day deal, you can get the latest version of the MacBook Air for $200 off. Lightweight and portable, this laptop boasts an 18-hour battery life and has a Liquid Retina display that showcases vivid, true-to-life colors.

Why It’s A Good Deal: This Prime Day deal is a match for the Apple MacBook Air’s lowest price ever.


Best Prime Day Deals: Headphones, Smartwatches And Smartphones

If you want reliable wireless earbuds that’ll pair easily with your Apple devices, these 2nd Gen AirPods are a great choice. I’ve had mine since 2020, and they’ve maintained their battery life and sound quality. 

Why It’s A Good Deal: This is a match for the all-time lowest price we initially saw on these headphones last week. They tend to sell out quickly, so take advantage of this second opportunity to save while you can.

Best Prime Day Deals: Appliances

Our home editors named this machine the best portable carpet cleaner due to its compact size and powerful results. I swear by mine for removing pet stains and odors—it lifts streaks from my carpet without a trace. 

Why It’s A Good Deal: This is the lowest we’ve seen the Bissell Little Green’s price drop in years. It beats the tool’s 2023 Prime Day price of $89. 


Best Prime Day Deals: Health And Wellness

This smart toothbrush learns your brushing patterns and gives you tips for how to improve via an app. It offers five different cleaning modes and comes with a replacement brush head.

Why It’s A Good Deal: At 50% off, this is a match for the Oral-B Genius X’s lowest price ever. 


Best Prime Day Deals: Beauty And Grooming

Similar to the Dyson Airwrap, the Shark FlexStyle uses hot air to style your strands without causing excess damage. It comes with four attachments to create a variety of looks. 
Why It’s A Good Deal: While 22% off isn’t a massive discount, it brings the FlexStyle down to its lowest price ever. 


Best Prime Day Deals: Fashion

Aviator sunglasses never go out of style, and Ray-Ban makes some high-quality options. This pair is on sale for a variety of prices depending on which color combo you select—the gold/g-15 green seems to have the best discount. 

Why It’s A Good Deal: Ray-Ban sunglasses don’t go on sale often, and this is one of the largest discounts we’ve ever seen from the brand. 


Best Prime Day Deals: Outdoors

The Ironwood series grills are some of our favorites from Traeger (you can see all of our recommended models in our Best Traeger Grills roundup). The 885 is a smart grill that relies on Wi-Fi technology for precise temperature control. It can grill, smoke, bake, roast, and braise, all with a delicious pellet-smoked taste.

Why It’s A Good Deal: This is the lowest price the Ironwood 885 grill has ever been on Amazon. It typically sells for $1,400 to $1,500, so take advantage while you can.


What Is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day is a summer sale that was first introduced in 2015. At the time, it was a one-day event meant to celebrate the company’s 20th anniversary. Since then, the sale has transformed into a two-day, annual affair in which Amazon offers major discounts on thousands of products. Since 2022, the e-tailer has also hosted an October Prime Day, though that’s not its official name.

When Is Amazon Prime Day 2024?

Prime Day 2024 starts July 16 and runs until 3:00 a.m. EDT on July 18. This is a week later than anticipated—the event usually happens during the second week of July, though the retailer has deviated before. That means you have about 48 hours to shop the deals before Prime Day 2024 comes to a close.

How Many Times A Year Does Prime Day Take Place?

Technically, there’s only one Prime Day each year. But for the past two years, Amazon has run a similar savings event in October. This year, Amazon also hosted its first-ever Big Spring Sale Event, adding to its annual sale repertoire yet again. Time will tell whether it becomes a tradition as well.

Is Everything Discounted For Prime Day?

No, Amazon Prime Day isn’t a sitewide sale. Still, you can find hundreds of thousands of discounts across nearly all product categories from brands like Sony, Allbirds, Kiehl’s and, of course, Amazon itself. Just keep in mind that you have to be a Prime member to take advantage of the deals.

What Other Retailers Have Prime Day Sales?

Many retailers offer their own Prime Day-adjacent sales. Nordstrom is running its annual Anniversary Sale to coincide with Prime Day and Walmart is offering thousands of deals as well. Similarly, Target is hosting a two-day sale event and Best Buy is running a Black Friday in July promotion.

In recent years, individual brands and smaller businesses have also started participating in Prime Day. We suggest keeping an eye on your favorite retailers’ sites today and tomorrow to make sure you’re getting the best deals possible.

Is Prime Day Better Than Black Friday?

The answer largely depends on what you’re shopping for. If you’re in the market for Amazon devices, tech and small appliances, you can typically find some great deals during Prime Day. However, Black Friday offers the opportunity to save at nearly every retailer you can think of. It’s also generally a better time to save on clothing, major appliances and furniture.

How Much Is An Amazon Prime Membership In 2024?

An Amazon Prime membership currently costs $14.99 per month, or a slightly discounted $139 per year if you pay annually. Amazon also offers a couple of discounted membership programs—like Prime Access and Prime Student—for shoppers who meet certain qualifications.
