He doesn't say that any longer. The air fryer is a wonderful addition to our kitchen. I make things that I had never made before, and I have adapted many recipes so that I can cook them in it. It really comes in handy on hot days. I am very happy that I bought it, and so is my husband." —Just Terri Price: $69.99 (originally $149.99) — and shop all the Instant Pot deals here Promising review: "For the price, I didn't expect the exceptional quality. It's surprisingly sturdy! It doesn't shift or wobble. It's a solid system. I love that it comes with the little dividers. It should be known, however, that the drawers are just trays sitting on top of a support and aren't locked in, they must be held when pulled out. It certainly still makes it easy to reach things that would otherwise not be easily reachable. I think this is great and exceeds expectations compared to the price point." —Sky R Price: $22.49+ (originally $39.99; the best deal is on the white colorway) The replacement brush heads are also on sale if you wanna stock up! Promising review: "This toothbrush truly fights plaque. A great new brush in the Sonicare line." —R OConnor Price: $59.96 (originally $109.96; available in four colors) — and shop all the Sonicare deals here Promising review: "I’ve tried a few different water flossers over the years, but Waterpik is the only brand I truly trust and keep coming back to. This cordless one is easy to use, comfortable on the gums, and powerful enough to actually make a difference without being harsh. I love that it’s rechargeable, compact, and easy to keep on the counter or take when traveling. The pressure settings are great, and it leaves my mouth feeling really clean every time. It’s simple, reliable, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. If you’re looking for a water flosser that actually works and lasts, this one is worth it." —Amazon Customer Price: $39.99 (originally $69.99; available in three colors) Promising review: "Should have gotten these a long time ago. Procrastinating way too much. Great quality, wireless, long-lasting battery, thus far. Easy to install just about anywhere. Can be moved around. Great set, I bought 2 of the covers for the front of the house and the rear yard, plus my doorbell. Security surveillance all around! Don't think twice, you'll be more than satisfied and grateful — just probably upset you didn't get them sooner." —Rebecca Olivas Price: $39.99+ (originally $79.99+; available in packs of one, two, three, or four cameras) — and shop all the Ring deals here Promising reviews: "A little goes a long way. I can't believe how much money we are saving." —Pat "Affordable, easy to use, saves some cash and space in the recycling bin. The extra flavor options and additional CO2 canisters are fairly priced, and you get quite a bit of use out of each one." —g squared Price: $99.99 (typically $184) — and shop all the SodaStream deals here Promising review: "WOW what a Game Changer! I am on my feet walking anywhere from 12 to 16 hours a day. Recently I started experiencing sharp pains with every step, on the bottom of my heel, especially after sitting down and standing up again. I wore these insoles all day at work, pounding pavement without a thought of having heel pain. I'm absolutely shocked at how well these worked. The cushioned soles held up all day and even put a little pep in my step. I have high arches, and these provided excellent arch support and a squishy yet firm place to absorb the shock of my heels, COMPLETELY ELIMINATING my heel pain. It’s unbelievable. They are very well made and I can say these are absolutely worth every single penny." —Michele Price: $22.17+ (originally $35.98; available in women's sizes 6–17.5, men's sizes 4–15.5, and in four other colors/styles) — and shop all the Valsole deals here Promising review: "Soup? Done. Chili? Done. Beans? Done. Grains? Done. Banana bread? Done. Yogurt? Done. Slow-cooked soul food so good, you need to go to confession after eating it? Done! Breakfast Lunch or Dinner? DONE! I cannot overstate the usefulness of this appliance. I make soup or marinara or beans just about every day. EASY operation. Looks gorgeous, does not leak, and the size....well, choose according to your needs. I got the 6 QT and it's just right for two hungry people. Larger families, I suggest the 8 QT." —PeterTheReviewer Price: $69.99 (originally $139.99, non-Prime members can get a few bucks off; also available in a three-quart size, but not on sale) — and shop all the Instant Pot deals here Promising review: "Who need Dyson? What a great deal! Usually, I do not get excited about vacuum cleaners. However, for this one I make an exception. Very high quality. Very low price. From tip to bottom, this is fine piece of engineering and aesthetically pleasing design. The vacuum reeks of quality throughout. It cleans extremely well while keeping the noise down. For a vacuum cleaner, it is pretty darn quiet in my opinion. The suction is powerful and it picks up everything thrown in its path with satisfaction. Because of the powerful suction, I especially like the feature that control the suction. It is placed very conveniently so that it can quickly be adjusted for different situations. On this vacuum cleaner, this feature is needed because it is so powerful." —Frank Chi Price: $139.99+ (originally $199.99+; available in three colors) — and shop all the Shark deals here Promising review: "Wonderful bedtime fan or anytime really. I had been looking for a quality tower fan where the display actually turned off with some sort of sleep mode, and this works perfectly for that. The power is fantastic for the price, and it's relatively quiet even on its highest setting. My favorite part of the sleep mode, however, is that it will auto-adjust the fan speed based on the temperature. Temp goes down, fan speed drops with it, goes up, it goes back up. No more waking up with a fan blasting on high, but instead I will wake up with it at least 2-3 levels lower than where I went to sleep. Makes for a much gentler wake-up. Setup is a breeze as well, just take it out of the case, clip the base plates together, and stand it up. Remote is easy to use even in the dark, no LED on it, but buttons are pronounced enough and few enough, it's pretty easy to tell which you need in the middle of the night. The fan itself also includes a storage for the remote in the back, so you won't lose it." —Alan Price: $54.95 (originally $74.99; deal available for the 36-inch white fan) — and shop all the Levoit deals here Promising review: "Wow, this fan is amazing! It's super quiet and comes with all the bells and whistles for this little mighty giant. It comes with a remote, and it oscillates, too. I get hot flashes easily now, and this sits next to my bed. I appreciate the multi-speed settings!" —meekameeks Price: $39.99+ (originally $49.99; available in three colors; the deal is on the white color) — and shop all the Levoit deals here Just be sure your devices support wireless charging! Promising review: "I love this charging station! I‘m one of those people who has all the Apple things, so being able to charge my phone, watch, and AirPod Pros at the same time is a total game-changer for me. I can’t even guess how many times I’ve misplaced my AirPods because I didn’t have a dedicated place for them. Now, there’s no question where they are every morning. Not only that, but the charger is pretty fast (especially for the watch and earbuds), and the station itself is easy to set up and use." —Anonymous Price: $21.99 (originally $29.99; available in three colors) Promising review: "Best shaker cup I’ve ever had. I’ve had it for almost a year now, and it works perfectly. Blends so smoothly and easily. I was looking for a reliable, strong blender cup for years, going through so many cups, and I finally found it here. It’s a blessing. It is the most powerful cup I’ve found and is definitely worth the extra money compared to others." —DaQuarrius McGuire Price: $69.95 (originally $99.99; six colors are on sale) — and shop all the Ninja deals here Promising review: "I've only used it three times so far but I'm hooked. It holds temperature nearly perfectly. The meat thermometer matched my thermometer exactly. It was easy to assemble and it's simple to use. I look forward to using it frequently." —Ned Madsen Price: $389 (originally $549.95) — and shop all the Traeger deals here Promising review: "This step ladder deserves a standing ovation—ironically, because it makes standing feel so secure. From the moment you step on it, you can tell this ladder was designed by someone who actually thought about stability, balance, and real people using it. "The steps are wide, solid, and confidently grippy—no wobbling, no flexing, no heart‑stopping moments where you question all your life choices. It stays firmly planted on the floor, which means climbing feels calm and controlled instead of like a leap of faith. The hand support is exactly where you want it, offering reassurance without getting in the way. "For older adults especially, this ladder is a game‑changer. It doesn’t rush you. It doesn’t shift. It doesn’t surprise you. It simply does what it’s supposed to do—keep you safe. Whether reaching a top shelf, changing a light bulb, or tackling everyday tasks, it gives back something invaluable: confidence.." —Lisa Eckerson Price: $49.95+ (originally $65.99; available in two colors and three other sizes) — and shop all the HBTower deals here Promising review: "This drill works fantastic! Great power and feels nice in the hand. Very grippy and durable, battery seems pretty good too considering the price. Can’t go wrong with DeWalt and I am super happy to add this tool to my collection!" —Julie R. Price: $99 (typically $159) — and shop all the Dewalt deals here Promising review: "After owning another Ninja coffee maker a few years ago and having it leak and die on me, I had just about given up on the brand. But man was I pleasantly surprised with the functionality and design of the grounds and pods machine. The pods side provides you with a good amount of sizing options( up to 12 ounces) and most of the style features while the grounds sides gives you endless options with serving sizes up to 24 ounces and the ability to use the specialty feature that makes cafe style lattes and frappuccinos. The frother is another great feature that will whisk up milk and cream in no time for rich drinks and beverages. Also, this machine gets hot!! One thing I hate is a coffee maker that pours out lukewarm coffee and doesn't fully saturate the grounds. This one gets very hot very quickly and gives you the perfect temp for every serving size. Overall, I love the machine and was impressed with its features and brewing capabilities." —Persesphone2 Price: $99.95+ (originally $129.99+; available in four colors and two sizes) — and shop all the Ninja deals here Promising review: "LOVE these pillows! We have 2 homes and 12 beds, and every bedroom has these pillows! Our family and guests love them! I have gifted them to all of my adult children, too! No matter what firmness you prefer, this pillow is definitely the answer!!! They are durable, high quality, and fabulous overall!" —Michele Jasper Price: $59.99 for two standard-size pillows (originally $81; also available in king size) — and shop all the Casper deals here Promising review: "Great purchase! These chairs were PERFECT for the beach. The colors are bright and vibrant. They recline and are comfortable. They dry quickly after being wet. The backpack straps made hauling them to the beach super easy and efficient. We only got two this time, but would definitely buy these again." —Amazon Customer Price: $99.98 (originally $129.99; available in three colors) It includes a free three-month trial of Nanit Insights: The Sleep Plan subscription. Promising review: "I’m really happy with this monitor so far. The first thing I noticed was how painless the setup was—the instructions were actually clear. I didn't run into any glitches getting it connected to our Wi-Fi."The stand is a big plus; it’s sturdy and makes it easy to get exactly the right angle over the crib without any guesswork. The app itself is user-friendly, and the camera is sensitive enough to pick up even small movements reliably. It’s been a solid, dependable choice for keeping an eye on the baby while we're around the house, and the video quality is sharp enough to give me some real peace of mind." —Amazon Customer Price: $220.39 (originally $289.99; this is a Prime-exclusive deal — non-Prime members can get it for $231.99 — available in two styles on sale) — and shop all the Nanit deals here The on-sale kit features the device, fast-charging dock, USB-C charging cable, and a 36-hour refill. BuzzFeed writer Krista Torres has been loving this lately: "I don’t know what it is about me, but mosquitoes love me — I always end up with the worst bites, no matter what I try. I’ve tested so many different products over the years, most of which barely make a difference. So when I was gifted a Thermacell, I didn’t expect much. But I set it up in the backyard the other weekend when it was super hot out and the bugs were already starting to find me. I was pleasantly surprised that it worked! I didn’t notice any bites after that, which felt kind of like magic. I’ll definitely be using it all summer, and I’m already getting one for my mom because she’s just as much of a mosquito magnet as I am." Price: $43.99 (originally $54.99) — and shop all the Thermacell deals here Promising review: "I’ve used multiple other electronic shavers, and nothing, I mean nothing compares to this one. This will literally leave you babyfaced, where as some other ones will leave a stubble. Will definitely be using this a whole lot more on the future!" —Nosey Rosey Promising review: "Best thing since sliced bread! I wish they would have made this 40 years ago! I literally have tried to cut or snag myself with this and still can't. This makes grooming those hard to see/reach areas sooooooo much easier." —James W.

Reviews in this post have been edited for length and clarity. I bought this set a few Prime Days ago and it's one of my favorite Prime Day purchases ever. I LOVE these containers. Promising review: "For nearly all of my adult life, I was simply getting Gladware or Ziplock, letting them slowly deteriorate over the course of a few months, recycling them (or losing them), lather rinse repeat. It finally occurred to me to splurge on some good ones. I'm not one to review things very often, let alone food storage containers, but here we are. I've been so impressed and satisfied with these in just a few months that I feel compelled to tell y'all about them. They're super airtight, the plastic is crystal clear, and they've each been through the wash a dozen times with no particular sign of wear and tear yet. Usually by this point, the Ziplocs are cloudy, warped, have holes, etc. But these guys, they just keep ticking. We've put soup directly in them, frozen them, you name it. Worth the extra few bucks to keep a few more items out of the landfill." —Eric Beneau Price: $79.99 (typically $109.99; smaller sets are also on sale) Promising review: "I've been really happy with the Breville Barista Express espresso machine. The stylish design and built-in grinder make me feel like a true coffee connoisseur. The quick heat-up time and adjustable grind size make it easy to customize my perfect shot. And the programmable shot volume ensures consistent espresso shots every time. Plus, the bonus of being able to claim the title of 'at-home barista' is a definite plus. Highly recommend this machine to any coffee lover out there!" —Ashleigh Johnson Price: $499.95 (originally $699.95; available in two colors) — explore Breville's deals here. Promising review: "This thing is amazing. I have had it running for little over a month. The amount of information this thing can pull from the air is absolutely wild. Not only can this thing tell you the quality of the air but also what size partials it is pulling from your air, even has a setting to tell you the life of the filters on the side that you just vacuum off. Overall, I have loved this air purifier and the fact that I don't have to change the filter for 5 years makes it super cost effective. I have 3 cats in the house and you cant even tell with how much this pulls from the air, and stuff also seems less dusty. It is super sensitive, if I burn an incense within seconds that air quality changes and it starts running fast. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants better air in their homes." —Angel W. Price: $99.99+ (originally $159.99+; the best deal is on the gray colorway) Promising review: "Great buy!!! Easy to install and connect to module. You can turn brightness up on the light. It’s light up my whole street when I have the light set all the way up. Excellent sound quality I can hear the neighbors talking. 🤣 I will be getting one for my backyard to make sure no kids try to jump over my 6ft privacy fence and get in my pool. My favorite thing is you can set the light for motion sensor and if the light is triggered by motion, person or animal an alarm sound will go off!!!" —Tina Price: $29.99 (originally $99.99; available in two colors) Promising review: "Yup, saw it on TikTok and had to buy it. My car's upholstery was so dirty from my dogs and years of NOT getting it deep cleaned. This is a game-changer. I should've taken a before and after because it was awesome. Not to mention how satisfying it is to see the dirty water get sucked back into the tank. Easy to prep. Easy to use. Easy to clean. I definitely recommend. This will be perfect for other things in the house as well because if it can tackle MY car with two big dogs, it's gold." —Taylor L.

Not only is it cute, but it’s also completely functional. I love that it holds so much (the large is perfect for lots of stuff, but not overly huge. I can pack water bottles, snacks, sunscreen, books/Kindle, umbrella, and everything in between! I also love that I can personalize it with charms and stuff — the Bogg bag charms fit. Also, the fold-down straps are great. They don’t get in the way at all. I’ll also note that it’s super easy to clean. Just empty it and spray it out with a hose. Even the white has stayed clean. Love love love! Get this bag! You won’t regret it!" —Amoora Price: $36.42+ (originally $69.99; the best deal is on the Malibu colorway; available in 22 colors/prints and in Medium and Extra Large) — and shop all the Simple Modern deals
