Including lots of worth-the-wait discounts on the things you’ve been (quite responsibly) putting off buying at regular price.

As a Deputy Editorial Director for BuzzFeed’s shopping team, I love to get into the weeds of why a product’s worth the money by deep diving into customer reviews, and product-testing as much as possible.

To see our coverage of all the best Fall Prime Day deals, come back to BuzzFeed Shopping on October 6th and 7th.

Promising review: "I recently got the Beats Studio Buds, and honestly, they’re a game changer. First off, the black design is super sleek and fits my style perfectly. When I first put them in, I noticed right away how comfortable they were – way better than regular AirPods, at least for me. The Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) is impressive too. I’ve tested it in some noisy places, and it really cuts down the background sound so I can actually focus on what I’m listening to. It might not be the same level as over-ear headphones, but for earbuds, it’s more than enough. Since they’re part of the Apple ecosystem, they pair up instantly with my iPhone, and the programmable buttons are a cool feature that makes switching tracks or activating Siri easy. Overall, these are solid earbuds that I’d totally recommend if you want something comfortable with good sound and a stylish look." —Anthony Comeaux

Price: $89.95+ (originally $149.95; available in three colors)

Promising review: "I absolutely love my tumbler! Well priced and well made! My drinks stay cool for an entire 24 hours if not more if I put ice in! The straw is amazing and fits my flower straw cover top! I love it! I especially love that the top turns a quarter of the way so I can angle the straw for whichever hand I want to use to drink! Amazing!" —Izzy Greenberg

Promising review: "LOVE this cup! It’s a very pretty baby pink color. It’s 40 ounces, so the volume is spacious; it holds the water hot and cold for hours. Great value for money.  I will actually repurchase it! It’s leakproof on the sides, but the water obviously leaks from the straw; everywhere else is good. Even if you drop the cup the liquids don’t spill! I love the straw because it’s elastic, so when you drive, you can peacefully drink without worrying about stabbing yourself with a traditional plastic straw. Also, it detaches so you can completely clean the cup in all the areas without mold collecting. Lid is very functional, will definitely repurchase." —MG

Price: $19.97+ (originally $39.95; available in 28 colors)

Promising review: "It’s difficult to find hard-shell luggage that doesn’t open up into a clamshell. Who hasn’t had to get something out of their luggage and had to open the entire thing up for everyone to see at the airport? No, thank you. I love this one. It’s sturdy, easy to open and access, the zippers are smooth, and the wheels roll like a dream. Very well designed, although I do wish the carry-on were a tad larger. However, it’s not a deal breaker. The two main compartments help organize your belongings, and the pockets on the lid are well-placed and see-through for smaller items. I love the small footprint. I love that this isn’t a clamshell. The built-in locks are so convenient. The drink holder and retractable hooks are just icing on the cake. I would buy it again in a heartbeat." —NY

Price: $89.99+ (originally $188.99; available in four colors)

So what are all the bells and whistles? The all-in-one brush head has 62,000 bristle movements a minute, multi-angle bristles for serious plaque and stain removal, and healthier gums. Plus, a light ring at the base lets you know when you're applying to much pressure. 

Promising review: "Love my Sonicare! Gave the black one to my son. The price was fantastic, and the settings are great. The charger cup is super cute, and the rechargeable case is a must! The speed and vibration are unmatched without clunky noise, and the 'deep clean' setting is perfect for the evening brush. The whitening setting is great for morning to set my smile for success. Quality is always expected from Sonicare." —Sharon Yankus

This product’s packaging says to avoid using it around open food, so keep your chip bags closed and hot dogs covered while you hang out. But it should be fine to pull out a hot dog and handful of chips if you’re going to eat them right away.

Promising review: "I really enjoyed using the Thermacell insect repeller in my yard this spring. I find the device to be very effective, and each pad usually lasts long enough for most evenings we spend outside. I also like that it has minimal smell and doesn't require spraying anything or having more heat. It's still pretty cost-effective and worth the price. Overall, I would highly recommend this for insect control." —Krash

Promising review: "🤩 Wow, this is the vacuum I’ve been looking for my whole life! Seriously, this one actually works great and could easily beat out a Dyson any day! I’ve purchased three Sharks, but this one beats all of them." —Vincent

Promising review: "Got a gold rope chain, have never gotten it ultrasonic cleaned since I had it in 2015. Used an ultrasonic solution with water on the 7-minute cycle twice. As soon as it turned on, you could see the dirt just coming off. The water started clear after a minute or two, and then it became black. Highly recommend!!" —Trustin

Promising reviews: "I have no idea how this works, but it does! It’s actually cool to the touch! I am always hot and don’t sleep well because of it. This blanket is a game changer!" —Rhonda M.

"Ever since I moved to south Florida, I have been unable to use any sort of comforter or duvet because I am such a hot sleeper. In fact, I haven’t used anything besides a top sheet in what feels like ages. This comforter has completely changed that for me. It feels so fantastic against the skin, and my only regret is that I didn’t purchase one when I first saw the ad last year. If you sleep warm, this is 100% the best thing for your bed." —Steven S.

Price: $149.25+ (originally $199; available in sizes Twin–King and in six colors)

Promising review: "The dual nozzle is what makes it worth it. One setting for general use, one for a more targeted clean. Both do the job well. Water pressure is adjustable, which matters. Start low… learned that the hard way. Big difference compared to toilet paper. You just feel cleaner. Also cuts down how much paper you use, which is a plus. Over time, it probably pays for itself." —SFRGR

This set includes a 1.5-quart saucepan with lid, 3-quart saucepan with lid, 3.5-quart sauté pan with helper handle and lid, 8-quart stockpot with lid, 8" skillet, 10" skillet, and 20cm steamer insert with lid.

Promising review: "I bought this set along with a few additional pieces back in 2009. This set has held up wonderfully. I cook a lot, a whole lot! I’ve cooked countless meals for my family (including two hungry boy teens, husband, friends and family) with this cookware. It performs fantastic! Food does not stick and it’s easy to clean. It holds temperature perfectly. When my college-age son, who is in grad school wanted a good set of pots and pans this year for Christmas, I was amazed this was still available! The exact same set was for sale in 2025. He was excited to get such a great set! I feel it will truly last him a lifetime. These pots have been thrown into the cabinet and not pampered. No dents. No defects. Still work perfectly after all these years. My daughter-in-law cleaned them up really nice (bottoms of all pans get discolored over time). They looked like brand new. Light scratches inside from years of cooking but that doesn’t affect the performance. I don’t baby my pans. They are workhorses in my kitchen. I will probably be gifting another set to my other son next year. Great job Cuisinart! 10/10 A+++" —ShellH

You can use each pen ~20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten 4–8 shades. I'm currently working my way through one of these pens!

Promising review: "I have only used the two original pens that I purchased and can already see an improvement. I am older than 60 and drink coffee daily and red wine weekly." —vicki houska

Price: two-pack for $9.95 (normally $14.95).

Promising review: "Paid $1,800 for a new oven. I have used it two times now, because I cook everything in this air fryer, and I mean everything. I even make barbecue ribs in it. Best ribs I ever had! This air fryer is a game changer. You will not be sorry if you get it. If and when this one breaks, I'll be buying another one. That's how much I love it." —annie

BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer says, "I have the non-smart version of this in my bedroom, and I love it. Just note that when you get it, you need to take the filter out and unwrap it before using!"

Promising review: "I waited over a month to write a review — this air purifier is amazing!! It’s one of those products that you don’t understand how much of a difference it makes until you get one. I have two cats, and my house is all carpet, so the house can smell stagnant sometimes, especially if the AC is off. One of my cats also has asthma, so I got this air purifier mostly for her, but it’s made such a HUGE difference in the way my home smells. Since having it, my house has consistently smelled fresh, clean, and odorless. Even after forgetting to clean the litter boxes, my house has not smelled like cat litter since I’ve had it. It’s very easy to set up. I bought a little plant stand to put it on so it wouldn’t be on the carpet. It’s very quiet, and the app is easy to use. It tells you the life of your filter, which is super helpful, and these filters last for a long time! You can set it up to be on a schedule, so you can set it up once and just forget about it. I recommend this air purifier to everyone. I’m NEVER worried about my house smelling anything but clean now. I would repurchase this a thousand times over." —hailee

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

It comes with a pitcher, 64-ounce processor bowl, and two 16-ounce to-go cups with lids. 

Promising review: "I wanted something that could do slushies in individual servings. I got this because of the reviews and I am loving the different sizes of individual containers, and having a full-sized blender. I have a small kitchen so I avoid storing extras. I thought I would just throw away all but one of the containers, but I'm finding them all useful. I had no idea I would enjoy this blender so much. I'm turning my excess of herbs into tasty slushies to enjoy on breaks from yard work on a hot day. I bought lemonade from a neighbor kid's stand then added herbs. I pulverized a green chili soup. A friend stopped by so I whipped up a cucumber, lime, basil slushie. Have I mentioned I love this thing?!" –Desharri

Promising review: "Bought this product on sale, and it was worth the investment. It blends better than any other blender that I have had. Its multiple options allow for anything from smoothies to purees. I love that I can make soup with this blender. It has plenty of power and a large enough volume to make plenty for a small household. It is also easy to clean! If it is on sale, and you need a better blender, I definitely recommend it. Otherwise, it is very expensive at full price." —Daniel & Amanda

Promising review: "The Alexa Fire Stick might be the greatest invention since drive-thru coffee. I plugged it in, blinked twice, and boom — it was up and running. I didn’t need a tech degree or a YouTube tutorial narrated by someone whispering in a British accent. Setup? Ridiculously simple. Navigation? Smooth like jazz. Lag? Nonexistent. This thing moves faster than I do when someone says, 'Free snacks in the break room.' I press the mic button and say, “Find mystery shows,” and Alexa serves them up like a psychic with a popcorn addiction. No scrolling, no back-and-forth, no spelling out titles like I’m on Wheel of Fortune.

"The layout is clean and makes actual sense. Everything I want is right there. It’s like it knows I’m too tired to think after 8 p.m. and hands me exactly what I didn’t know I needed. Bonus: It’s tiny. I’ve lost it in the couch cushions twice, but it always comes back. Like a loyal little entertainment boomerang. If you’re tired of complicated remotes, laggy interfaces, and shouting, 'WHERE IS NETFLIX?' into the void — get this. Easy. Fast. Zero drama. Just like I pretend to be in real life." —momsaysitsgood

Promising review: "Saw these on TikTok and love them! So glad I purchased these." —Melanie F

"Rubbermaid Brilliance Rounds keep my food fresh. As desired, the seal is very tight, which sometimes makes it hard for me to remove the top, especially when it's cold. But for me, the tops of the rounds are much more manageable than the more rectangular versions of this same brand." —Margie M

Promising review: "So...this Waterpik is amazing. I had 4mm and 5mm periodontal pockets from not flossing, and also experienced some bone loss. I also had to get a very uncomfortable deep gum pocket cleaning. I literally hated flossing and would find myself avoiding flossing, even though I needed it very much. My gums were red, swollen, and inflamed because I was in the early stages of periodontal disease. I started using the Waterpik flosser and instantly liked this way of flossing much better! After using it consecutively each night for only five days, my gums were noticeably better and felt much better. After two weeks of using the Waterpik flossing, coconut oil pulling, and mouthwash treatment, my gums have done a complete 180, and my mouth and gums are starting to heal properly! Also, this flosser can be somewhat loud, but it definitely gets the job done. I bought this with my own money, and this is an honest testimonial/review." —Ebony

Promising review: "This is my first ever food processor, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I have been very pleased. I've used it to shred carrots (super easy with the included shredding plate) and chop fresh mint leaves to make syrup (also super easy). I've been particularly impressed with the way it chops up leafy greens like mint into tiny pieces, so I'm looking forward to using it for pesto. I love that this creates a nice, dry product, instead of the wet mess that I usually get from my blender when chopping mint. The system is super easy to use, and you just put in the blade (and the shredding disc if you're using it) and then snap on the lid, and you're ready to go. I love the feed tube and how easy it is to feed hard stuff like carrots or big wads of mint leaves down there and I've never had to use the little pusher thing. There's plenty of power, and even shredding a pound of mint only takes about five minutes. Cleanup is a cinch, and the blade, shredding disc, plastic carafe, and lid are all dishwasher safe. Everything comes out looking brand new, and I haven't seen any staining of the plastic parts. Overall, this has been a great addition to my kitchen, and a great way to quickly and easily finely chop or shred items, and I certainly recommend it." —Beth

According to the reviewer (and their dog ^), "fur-fetti doesn’t stick to it so it always looks great!"

Promising review: "I absolutely love this blanket! It’s incredibly soft, warm, and cozy without feeling too heavy. The fleece material feels great, and it’s perfect for snuggling up on the couch or keeping warm at night. The 1ueen size fits perfectly on my bed, and the quality is great for the price. I’m very happy with my purchase!” 🥰🛏️✨" —Vi

Promising review: "My family uses kitchen scissors for everything! We use them to cut chicken nuggets, pizza, sandwiches...you name it, we cut it. These are great!" —_blondebooknerd

This set includes an 8" chef knife, 8" bread knife, 7" santoku knife, 8" slicing knife, 6" boning knife, 5" utility knife, 3.5" paring knives, 8 steak knives, kitchen shears, and a NeverDull knife block.

Promising review: "This knife set exceeded my expectations. The knives are extremely sharp, comfortable to hold, and make slicing, chopping, and dicing effortless. The built-in sharpener is a fantastic feature that helps keep the blades in excellent condition. The block is sturdy, looks great on the countertop, and keeps everything organized. The knives feel well-balanced and are made with high-quality materials. Overall, this is an outstanding knife set that offers excellent performance and great value. Highly recommended. Amazing!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This little vacuum is amazing. It was easy to set up and to use right out of the box. I turned it on, and I could not believe the dust and dirt it picked up. The cord is long and there is no problem covering a large bed and because it is corded, you don’t have to worry about the battery having to be recharged. There is good suction and you see the results immediately. The machine is very easy to clean. Pull it apart, rinse it dry, and it’s ready to use again. It also comes with an additional filter for future use." —JloGlo

Promising review: "I have been using Zero Water products for the last seven years. I have sulphur well water that tastes absolutely horrible. We were always buying bottled water which becomes expensive, was a pain to store, and difficult to keep on hand. I, also, hated that I was contributing to the plastic water pollution in our landfills. This pitcher takes out the minerals from my well and tastes great!! It will fit easily in a refrigerator but I have a plastic pitcher I put the water into that I keep in the fridge, which allows me to continuously filter water. It doesn't take up a lot of space in the refrigerator or counter top. Everyone in my home are water drinkers and we easily drink over a 150 ounces of water a day and this filter keeps up with are usage with no problem. The water meter is great to keep an eye on when the filter needs to be replaced. Our well water is a 35 on the meter and we replace our filter about every six to eight weeks. City water normally has a higher number on the meter, so I'm not sure how often it needs to be replaced when you have city water. The replacement cartridges might seem high but if you are buying bottled water you will be saving in the long run. I have a thermos of this water where ever I go. I even carry it in to most restraints because I absolutely hate city or fountain water. I love this item and as long as they keep making them we will keep using it!!" —Elissa

Promising review: "This weatherproof mat is awesome! We have been having trouble finding one that works and stands up to a high traffic area but this is it!! We've had it about a year now and its awesome. No shedding, so durable and thick. The color was accurate and it helps keep my floors clean. Easy to vacuum and perfect!!" —Amazon Customer

Price: $18.99+ (regularly $22.99; available in 35 colors and six sizes (this is a Prime-exclusive deal; non-Prime members can get it for $19.99)

Promising review: "If you’re looking for a high quality utensil holder on a budget look no more! Don’t let the price deceive you! You ARE getting a good deal! This utensil holder is sturdy, easy to use, and looks nice! This fits a lot of utensils comfortably and expands to fit even more. Can fit small or large drawers. Has enough space to organize all your utensils beautifully and is quite durable. I was bit skeptical at first but this feels sturdy and not cheap. I purchased the black one and it gives off a nice modern, clean, expensive look!" —Jeslyn Glover

Promising review: "This product is exactly as shown. Rubber backing keeps it from slipping off. Just the right size to hold everything you need. I recommend it." —Madelyn White
