Take the items on this list, for example. Apple AirPods Pro are currently a rare $169 (down from $249) — which might seem like a lot, but it's their best price of all time. And No. 1 bestsellers like the viral Bissell Little Green, Waterpik Aquarius Water Flosser and Levoit Air Purifier are up to 50% off — some of the best prices we've seen this year, if not ever.
These are products that have stood the test of time and come from some of the most respected brands on the market, meaning they're built to last and crafted with the highest quality in mind. And you can trust that each and every one of these Prime Day sales has been thoroughly vetted by our team of expert shoppers, who have been tracking price histories and comparing retailers across the clock.

The best splurge-worthy Prime Day deals
There's a reason for the hype surrounding the latest model of these top-rated earbuds — many reasons, in fact. For starters, they offer rich, crisp sound and superior noise cancellation, allowing you to enjoy music, podcasts, audiobooks and more without outside commotion getting in the way. This model lets you control the volume simply by swiping the stem, and you'll receive four pairs of silicone tips in different sizes for customized comfort.
Our tech editor named these "best wireless earbuds overall," saying, "What you get here is even better ANC, a bump in battery life, extra-small ear tips for users with smaller ears and an adaptive-audio mode that adjusts noise-cancellation and transparency modes based on the sounds around you. Meanwhile, Apple's charging case now has a speaker (for use with Find My) and a USB-C port in place of Lightning (the better to match with the USB-C iPhone 15)."
You'll want to grab these now — they've never been on sale for less.
Love ice-cold drinks? This machine will be your main "freeze" this summer and beyond. Many a TikToker has declared their love of this high-tech contraption, which produces irresistibly chewy nugget-style ice (or, "fancy ice," as one reviewer called it). Needless to say, it's a hot-ticket item, which is why we're super excited to see it marked down to its best price of 2024.
It can crank out 1.6 pounds per hour, or 38 pounds per day, according to the manufacturer. Plus, it can hold up to 3 pounds of ice at a time. Reviewers say the SmartHQ app, which can be used to schedule ice production, is user-friendly, and you can even pair it with Alexa and Google if you want to operate it via voice control.
"Absolutely love this little machine!" exclaimed one shopper. "Big fan of chewy ice, and after only enjoying it from the few restaurants and convenience stores that sell drinks with it, I finally have delicious chewy ice at home. Easy setup, and [I] quickly have enough ice to satisfy my family."
This No. 1 bestselling, compact carpet cleaner went viral for a reason — it packs a punch, especially considering that it weighs less than 10 pounds. Its powerful suction makes it a pro at removing stubborn stains from rugs, furniture and car upholstery. Plus, it comes with a tough stain tool, self-cleaning hose tool, spraying crevice tool and a sample bottle of Bissell's Spot & Stain with Febreze.
Wondering if this is a good deal? Let's just say it costs less than it did for Black Friday, and we haven't seen it dip lower since 2019.
One Yahoo home editor swears by this thing: "I’ve used my Bissell Little Green countless times to maintenance-clean my sofa, area rugs and even my car (this requires a nearby power source) ... I noticed the light dirt that had surfaced on my living room area rug had become increasingly noticeable ... The Bissell Little Green transformed my rug in as little as 10-15 minutes. The dark spot is gone, leaving only natural variations in the handwoven fibers that were there when it was new."

Ready for some Apple picking? Yes, we realize it's not fall, but you'll want to pluck this bad boy from the ol' Amazon tree and add it to your cart because it's currently down to its all-time lowest price — and this is the most recent version of this model!
As the unofficial Goldilocks of tech (less bulky than a laptop but larger than a smartphone), this tablet keeps you connected on the go or at home, and you can use it for everything from reading books to taking notes to watching videos.
Our tech editor named this the "best tablet for 2024" owing to its "under-the-hood improvements, including a faster processor, more RAM (4GB instead of 3GB), Bluetooth 5.0 (up from 4.2) and a USB-C charging port."

Here's one Shark you won't want to avoid this summer. This top-rated model is less bulky than many uprights, so you can take it with you from room to room without it feeling like a workout. And when you have to get into those elevated spaces like stairs, furniture and your car, the lift-away detachable pod allows you to clean them with ease. It also has a HEPA filter that'll help trap irritants in the air while in use.
Our price trackers tell us it hasn't dipped any lower this year, so if your current vac is on the fritz, now would be a good opportunity to replace it for less.
"This is by far the best purchase I've made in my lifetime," raved a shopper. "It may sound funny, but it is. With two dogs, it made my life so much easier. It's light, pulls dog hair out of the rugs easily and thoroughly. The HEPA filter works so well. No dust residue — easy to empty out. I am obsessed with this vacuum cleaner!"
Powered by the M2 chip, this MacBook Air is just as lightweight as its newer cousins but is available at a slightly discounted rate. This is as low as we've ever seen the MacBook drop, so now is the time to take advantage of those sweet, sweet savings.
One fan had nothing but praise. "18 hours of battery life is not just marketing, the speed of the M2 is snappy and can handle much more than I thought it would. The new screen is gorgeous. Trackpad is the best on the market bar none."
This oral hygiene essential is actually on sale for $50, aka a rare 50% off. With this on your counter, your dentist won't ask if you floss, but how you floss, because they'll be so impressed by the lack of residue surrounding your teeth and gums. And you'll be pleased too, since this device feels much gentler than cramming a piece of string between your pearly whites. It comes with seven tips so the whole family can use it.
Another reason to smile? We haven't seen it on sale for this price since Black Friday.
"Two minutes and it feels like you had a teeth cleaning at the dentist," shared a reviewer. "I resisted the need of this 'extra' until the dentist insisted and now I can't believe how much I like using it. I look forward to using this every night (and seeing the tiny bits of stuff that brushing and flossing have missed) — that makes it even better, knowing that it's really doing something to keep your mouth and teeth cleaner and healthier."
This highly versatile hair styler doesn't go on sale often, so even though this isn't the absolute best price we've seen it for, we'll take the $125 discount. It's basically like having an all-in-one salon in a handheld device, which helps justify its high price tag.
I've actually tested (and love) this styler! As far as accessories go, let's just say the number of attachments this thing comes with would put your boss's emails to shame. It includes not one, but two curling barrels (1.2-inch and 1.6-inch), a firm smoothing brush, a soft smoothing brush, a round volumizing brush, a smoothing dryer and a filter cleaning brush. Thanks to the intelligent heat control, which tracks the airflow temperature 40 times per second to keep the device from overheating, the heat feels more diffused, even on the highest setting. Probably a lot less harsh on my frizzled ends! That said, it's still powerful enough to dry my hair in a fraction of the time it takes with a blow dryer (there's that 13-blade Dyson digital motor for ya!).

If this must-have has been on your wishlist for a while, you'd be wise to grab it while it's down to the best price we're seeing online. I used to bake for a living, and my trusty KitchenAid stand mixer is my go-to appliance. Cake batters, cookie doughs, breads, frostings, meringues — you name it, I've probably made it using this mighty machine. Unlike flimsier mixers, this one is built to last (there's a reason KitchenAids are often passed down from one generation to the next).
At 4.5 quarts, it can hold enough dough to make up to eight dozen cookies at a time, though it won't take up much room in your kitchen. Oh, and you'll get a beater, dough hook and whisk attachments for making practically any baked good under the sun. It's only dipped lower than its current sale price once this year, and not by very much.
Say it with me, Tim Allen-style: "More power!" If you need a laptop that can stand up to the rigors of a heavy workload, the MacBook Pro is an excellent option. Loaded with state-of-the-art components that can handle anything you throw at it, this is a powerhouse machine for doers who need a computer that can keep up.
It also happens to be at its lowest price on record for Prime Day. This 15% discount might not seem like much, but it's saving you a few hundred dollars. Between the capacious storage and blazing-fast RAM, this laptop won't hold you back.
Want to really up your at-home java game? This No. 1 bestseller is on sale for its best price of 2024. You'll feel like you have a personal cafe right in your kitchen, thanks to this machine's 16 precision grind settings, and the digital temperature control helps ensure your latte comes out just right. There's also a steam wand for foaming milk, and the whole process, from grinding to brewing espresso, takes under a minute.
Sure, it's still an investment, but if you're used to buying pricey lattes from a coffee shop, this will save you money in the long run.
"This product is terrific and exceeded my expectations," shared a caffeinated customer. "The machine is very easy to use and delivers a good quality espresso every time. The large water tank is a bonus, and the ability to adjust the grind size is just fantastic. I found it surprisingly easy to clean too. ... I'll definitely be saving money on buying coffee out for sure!"
Bose is known for its incredibly high standards, and these cans are no different. At a record-low price, the QuietComfort headphones have up to 24 hours of battery life, are available in four different colors and even include an audio cable so you can continue listening if the batteries die.
One fan put it nicely: "I just can't say enough about the superior noise cancellation and sound quality in addition to the wearability."
If you've been holding out for an on-sale Vitamix, this model is currently marked down to the best price we're seeing online — it's $230 off. The 64-ounce container can hold large batches of hot soup and refreshing smoothies, while the brand's best-in-class blades break down ice and frozen ingredients like a champ.
Yes, it's expensive, but as this reviewer notes, it'll likely last far longer than cheaper blenders, meaning you won't have to shell out for replacements.
"I've wanted a Vitamix for about 12 years because I'm a big smoothie and milkshake maker," shared a convert. "Should have bought it years ago because the 'other' blenders and smoothie makers break after just a couple years. This Vitamix is a beast. It's very well made, blends so quickly and easily and I can make six large milkshakes in way less time."
If you've yet to invest in an air purifier, Amazon's No. 1 bestseller is down to one of the best prices we've seen it on sale for (it only dipped lower once this year). What makes it a standout?
For starters, it's nice and compact but covers up to 1,095 square feet of space. Its 3-in-1 filtration system traps up to 99.97% of airborne particles up to 0.3 microns and can help remove odors, pet dander, smoke and other irritants. It also has a whisper-quiet, HEPA-grade sleep mode so as not to disturb you at night.
"Placed it in our bedroom," wrote a buyer. "We run it on level 2 during the day and night mode at night. Within a few days, we noticed less dust and fibers in the air, and within a couple of weeks, we were no longer waking up feeling congested. Sleeping better. Feeling better. Works great."
Watching TV? Fun! Staring at a TV while it's not in use? Eh, sort of an eyesore. That's why the Samsung Frame is popping up in more and more homes: It can display a lovely work of art on your wall (choose from over 1,400 selections) to enhance the room's aesthetics, and as far as your actual viewing experience is concerned, it boasts an anti-reflection matte display and vibrant 4K resolution.
At $500 off, this is just about as low as we've seen this No. 1 bestselling 55-inch model all year.
"What a transformation to display our photos and greatest moments in our living space," swooned a fan. "Uploaded photos or downloaded art totally changed our space. Easy setup and easy to mount. We love this Frame TV so much we bought another one."
Bose products don't come cheap, but this wildly popular portable speaker is currently down to its all-time lowest price, according to our trackers.
At a mere 1.3 pounds, it makes up for its lack of heft with features like Position IQ technology for immersive sound at any angle, a rechargeable battery with up to 12 hours of life and a built-in mic. Plus, it's waterproof and even floats when in water.
"I absolutely adore this speaker!" exclaimed a shopper. "The material is soft and easy to clean, and I’m so pleasantly surprised at the quality of sound. You can place it on its side for directional sound, or lay it flat for very clear all-around sound. It’s the perfect size for [a] desktop, counter and luggage space. The clear and crisp audio (and waterproofness) make this a great speaker to use in the shower!"

If you're on social media, you may have seen this viral yellow tub in many a skin-care video. Formulated with cupuaçu butter, acai oil and coconut oil, as well as caffeine-packed guarana, it delivers essential hydration while helping smooth skin and making it feel firmer. It also smells divine, with aromas of vanilla, salted caramel and pistachio.
It's not the biggest Prime Day discount, but this No. 1 bestseller rarely goes on sale, and our price trackers tell us this is as low as it's been in years.
"Heaven in a jar," gushed a reviewer. "I’m totally hooked on this body cream. At 56, I’ve never used anything that not only tightens, but makes my skin feel incredibly soft and smell so yummy as Bum Bum does … and it doesn’t take much. A little goes a long way. Bravo!"
Ever wished you could vacuum and mop your floor at the same time? Well, meet your new best friend. This 2-in-1 multitasker weighs less than 10 pounds and is cordless so you don't have to worry about tripping over cables or looking for free outlets. It works on practically any sealed floor and even cleans up about 90% of the water left behind so that your floors dry faster.
FYI, this is the best price we've seen, well, ever, and it's less than the cost of many standard vacuums.
"I used to use a Swiffer to clean my floors and thought it did a decent job," explained a fan. "That is until I bought this vacuum/washer. The water, after my first go round, was dark brown. My floors were filthy and I didn’t know it. I am all about efficiency and it doesn’t get any better than this for clean floors!"
