Ninja’s Creami Ice Cream Maker whips up ice cream, gelato, milkshakes, sorbet, smoothie bowls and more, with seven one-touch programs. This machine was extremely hard to get when it first debuted, so our advice is to pick this bundle up now while it’s still on sale and available.

When Does Prime Day 2024 End?

Amazon Prime Day 2024 ends at 11:59 p.m. PDT today, July 17. This means that those on the East Coast can shop right up until nearly 3 a.m., into the early hours tomorrow morning. All Prime Members initially had 48 hours to shop the sale. Here are the Prime Day deals that Forbes Vetted readers are shopping the most.

How Long Is Prime Day 2024?

Prime Day 2024 officially lasts 48 hours. That being said, some markdowns continue after the sale ends, such as in home and kitchen, beauty and tech. These Prime Day deals often only linger for another day or two, we’ve noticed.

Will There Be A Second Prime Day 2024?

Yes, tentatively. While no official dates have been announced yet, Amazon’s second annual Prime Day deals event—the Prime Big Deal Days—is expected to occur sometime during fall 2024. It ran in mid-October last year.
