Because we’ve tried, tested, and investigated a lot of Amazon products over the years—sheets, towels, mattresses, you name it!—we know the best Prime Day home deals when we see them.
In fact, we’re so intimately familiar with everything the mega retailer is marking down at any given moment, we can tell you exactly which deals are worth your time and which to skip. Below, find the Amazon Prime Day Deals we recommend this season, because we’ve done the work and put them to the test!
It wouldn’t be Prime Day without at least a dozen cordless vacuum deals. Editor-beloved home tech brand Dyson rarely runs sales, so when we see them slashing prices around this time of year, we know it’s time to hop on it. When she tested the V12 for our Best Vacuums for Hardwood Floors story, contributor Terri Williams had this to say about the V12, which is currently even more competitively priced than last Prime Day: “The Dyson V12 Detect Slim Cordless Stick Vacuum has an angled laser that detects a surprising amount of dust particles on the floor. And if that’s not enough, the Dyson cordless vacuum cleaner has a color-coded LCD screen to reveal the types of particles being sucked up by the deep suction motor and passing through the detangling motorbar cleaner head.” Get it now for 19% off!
Luckily, another one of Terri’s favorite hardwood vacs is also on sale as of writing. This hands-free robot vacuum (a must for any smart home) cleans floors and so much more—Terri recommended it for pet owners, as it’s intelligent design is specifically formulated for the fun messes only your furry friends can create,” Terri wrote in her review. “That’s because it uses smart scrub technology, meaning it can scrub in back and forth motions and it applies 1.6 pounds of pressure to remove paw prints and other messes created by your beloved pets. It’s intelligent enough to recognize carpet and lift the mopping pads accordingly, so you don’t have to stop and change cleaning modes.” Perhaps the best feature is that it self empties when it returns to the charger, meaning you don’t have to deal with cleaning up dust and first every time you run it.
Keep your home looking beautiful at all times. This cool, sleek Shark has more than 15,000 positive reviews to back it up. Control it with your phone (you can even schedule cleanings while you’re not around) and watch it do its thing for 120 minutes on a single charge. While we haven’t tested this particular model, Terri has put several Shark machines through the ringer over the years and has recommended them for hardwood floors and has given top honors to a Shark model in her cordless vacuum testing.
We love a good air purifier deal around these parts and Blueair is one of our most trusted brands for these cleansing gadgets. While you might think spring is the only time you might need an air purifier, the truth is that we need them year round—especially if you’re prone to allergies or live in an area that’s susceptible to wildfires. This model is currently 17% off (plus an additional 10% off with an Amazon coupon, bringing the price to 261!) and will help keep allergens and air pollutants at bay.
Another one of the best Amazon Prime Day deals we’ve seen on a Dyson product so far happens to be a 2-in-1 air purifier and fan, perfect for the summer months and beyond. While we haven’t tested this exact model, we have tested the similarly over achieving Dyson fan, humidifier and purifier for our Best Air Purifiers round up and Rachel had great feedback on it: “When the air quality has dipped below ideal levels, it doesn’t seem to take much time for the purifier to do the job once I turn up the fan speed (it should be noted that this model also has an auto purify setting that will kick into high gear if the quality dips, but it is a little loud for my taste so I tend to keep it on a lower setting).”
50% off one of our favorite Amazon sheet sets? Don’t mind if we do! According to our contributor, Kristi Kellogg, you can count on these sheets for a “breathable and cooling” sleep experience—plus, they come in more than 20 earthy colors.
The Casper pillow offers a down alternative fill that is supportive at the core and covered in a soft shell—making it cozy but still structured. Plus, it’s 15% off right now and it has the honor of being named one of the Best Pillows on Amazon according to, well, us.
Whether you like it iced or piping hot, this single-serve Keurig coffee maker is here to help. Terri named it her favorite single serve machine on the market. You can choose your cup size and brew it perfectly with just the touch of a button.
If you need a mattress, stat, this memory foam bestseller, perfect for back and stomach sleepers, is currently 20% off.
One of our favorite tech deals so far, you can move from the bedroom to the Zoom with a solid 47% off these cordless Airpods (or replace that pair you dropped down the subway stairs or left in the washing machine). After all, It wouldn’t be Prime Day without an Apple deal.
A perennial Amazon Prime Day favorite, this Ninja air fryer makes it easy to cook, crisp or dehydrate your favorite foods.
If you want to pulls shots like a pro, the Breville Barista Express will get you there. It’s a highly trusted brand in the espresso machine space, and at a whopping $200 off, it might be time to level up your coffee game. Skip a trip to your local café by investing in an espresso machine that will make you look and feel like a pro. The Amazon best-seller also comes with an integrated grinder and a grind size dial to ensure you get exactly what you want.
If you’ve ever wanted a Vitamix, we’d highly recommend taking advantage of this price tag while you can. It’s the lowest we’ve seen this particular model priced at and it was a bestseller during last year’s Prime Day sale as well.
If you’re looking for a hand mixer, this one has a whopping 16,000-plus five-star reviews. Like many KitchenAid products, it’s sold in several colors and the Contour Silver and Ice Blue versions are also discounted at the moment.
Keep your climate under control from anywhere with this programmable smart thermostat. It’s compatible with Alexa, Google assistant, Nest device or your mobile phone. As the temperature starts to drop, you’ll appreciate having a trusty thermostat on hand. It mounts to the wall, but you can control if from anywhere. Plus, it’s a Nest product, which means it’s lovely to look at.
Another great gadget for your smart home, the new Amazon Echo Spot is more than your average alarm clock. this fun device allows you to control other Amazon enabled services in your home like the temperature, locks, lights, and more. You can also play music or podcasts simply by chatting with Alexa. Amazon has also been upping their privacy and data collection standards of late, so be sure to read the fine print before you add to cart.
How does Prime Day work?
A Prime membership is required to take advantage of all the best Prime Day deals. Luckily, it’s easy to become an Amazon Prime member. They offer a free 30-day trial for newbies, and after that it’s $14.99 per month or $139 per year to take advantage of fast free delivery, Prime Video, and all the other benefits the mega retailer offers.
Now, as for the deals. Some last the full 48 hours, others are what they call “lightning deals” and don’t last more than a few hours. New offers on trending products roll in pretty consistently.
When is Amazon Prime Day?
Alexa, when is the next Amazon Prime Day? Just kidding, we’ll tell you. The sales event is taking place Tuesday July 16 and Wednesday July 17. That said, we’re kicking off with the early Prime Day Deals right now and have rounded up the best home sales we’ve seen thus far from robot vacuums and air purifiers to to cookware and coffee makers.
Are any other retailers offering discounts during Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon isn’t traditionally the only retailer to host a sales event when Prime Day officially rolls around. It‘s like Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Labor Day all rolled into one. Last year, Wayfair, Brooklinen, Target, Best Buy, and Walmart announced responses to the Prime Day deals and we have a feeling that will only grow this year.
