170 Best Prime Day Deals of 2025, Vetted by Our Amazon Experts

Amazon Prime Day is here, and the deals are dropping like the bass at a Skrillex show. This year, Amazon has expanded the event to four days, with most of the best Prime Day deals launching in the early hours of Tuesday morning and sitting on the metaphorical shelf through 11:59 pm PT on Friday, July 11.
There are tens of thousands of products on sale this week, but comparatively few deserve your time and money. The WIRED Reviews team spends weeks prepping for Prime Day and will be working in shifts for 20 hours a day throughout the event to keep our coverage updated—all so you can score real savings on products we’ve tested and approved.
If you’re looking for up-to-the-minute coverage of lightning deals, this year’s trending products, and fast sellers, along with what will surely be increasingly unhinged commentary, check out our Amazon Prime Day liveblog, which will run from 5 am to midnight daily.
Featured Deals
How Does WIRED Spot Deals?
We start searching for the best Prime Day deals weeks before the event. The WIRED Reviews team receives embargoed lists of expected sales a few weeks before Prime Day, which we supplement by directly contacting our sources at brands we like to get details on their planned sales. We then use proprietary software to cross-reference the list of products that are on sale with the products we have positively reviewed.
What Makes WIRED’s Prime Day Coverage Different?
During events like Prime Day and Black Friday, WIRED will only recommend deals on products that someone on our team—there are 15 of us spread across the country and one person in the UK—has personally tested and vouched for. You will not find us adding random products with all-caps names that may be cheap but also junky. We also rigorously cross-check everything we’re planning to cover with price history databases to make sure it’s actually a deal at the Prime Day price, and not just a regular-priced item dressed up as a deal.
What Other Advice Do You Have for Prime Day Shoppers?
Amazon Devices
Deals on Amazon’s own devices, including the Kindle, Echo, and Fire tablet.

The Amazon Echo Pop (7/10, WIRED Recommends) looks like someone sliced the Echo Dot in half, and the sound quality feels a little thinner, too. But it does come in fun colors and is a little cheaper—especially right now!—so it’s a fun choice for a dorm room or somewhere where you just want a voice assistant handy, plus a little pop (get it?) of fun. —Nena Farrell
The Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen) looks like the regular Echo, but miniaturized to be a fraction of the size. It’s got the same design, and still packs impressive sound for such a small speaker. It has better bass performance than the previous Dot, and Amazon’s other petite speakers. It’s a great speaker for the price, and now it’s even cheaper. —Nena Farrell
If you’re an Amazon fan and looking for the best smart display, this is it. The Amazon Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen) is the perfect size for just about everything it can do. With an 8-inch screen, it’s easy to see the weather, follow a recipe, control your smart home, or even join a video call thanks to the built-in 13MP camera. —Nena Farrell
Amazon’s Echo Spot (7/10, WIRED Recommends) sits somewhere in between being a smart speaker and a smart display. There’s now a small screen on the top half of the device that shows the weather and your calendar or the song you’re playing, but skips other features that smart displays pack. But if you just want a little visual assistance without a full-on recipe guide, I think you’ll actually love this one. —Nena Farrell

If you’re looking for a Kindle for a kid, Amazon’s Kindle Kids is a child-focused twist on the Kindle. It comes with six months of Kids+, a subscription full of books designed for kids aged 3-12, giving plenty of reading options right away. There are also three fun cover options, so you can pick one out that your kid will be excited to see even when they aren’t reading. —Nena Farrell
The Kindle Scribe (8/10, WIRED Recommends) combines an e-reader and a digital notebook into one. It’s much bigger than other Kindles, so there’s room to doodle on the notebook pages, and it allows for some limited annotations while you read. It’s not a perfect device, but it’s the one I find myself grabbing over and over again since it’s so easy to use. It’s perfect for just jotting down ideas and brainstorming without needing more complicated software. —Nena Farrell
The Kindle Colorsoft (7/10, WIRED Review) is Amazon’s first-ever Kindle with a color screen. It’s an exciting addition, and the gentle colors are beautiful on screen. The Colorsoft has run into some issues with performance and the trade-in program, though. If you buy one, get one without trading in so that you can easily return it if something goes wrong. The fact that it’s on sale right now is a perfect opportunity. —Nena Farrell
The Fire Max 11 (5/10, WIRED Review) wasn’t our favorite when it launched. It’s Amazon’s nicest Fire tablet, but it was expensive for what you get. At this price however, it’s a solid buy. The screen is bright and sharp enough, the speakers aren’t bad, and the cameras are 1080p. Are there nicer Android tablets? Absolutely, but none of them are $140. —Scott Gilbertson

The M4 MacBook Air (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is the best laptop you can buy, and it might be the best laptop ever sold at this price. As someone who reviews a new laptop almost every week, trust me: Just buy it. The only real question is whether or not to make the jump to additional storage and what color to choose from. I’m partial to Starlight, but the new Sky Blue option is equally classy. —Luke Larsen
I’ve written at length about why the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air is the laptop most people should buy. But what about the larger 15-inch MacBook Air (9/10, WIRED Recommends)? It’s every bit as fast and thin, and maintains the same pixel density in the display. The larger screen just might be worth the extra $150, especially if you don’t use an external monitor at home. It has a killer set of speakers too. —Luke Larsen
It’s absolutely mind-blowing that you can buy a computer like the Mac mini (9/10, WIRED Recommends) for under $300. It’s nearly five years old at this point, and yes, it’s refurbished, but these little computers would be perfect for a family computer or student on a budget. They also make for fantastic living room PCs or repurposed NAS solutions. The newer M4 model is also great, of course, but if you’re really on a budget, this refurbished model is unbeatable. —Luke Larsen

Tech Deals
Deals on computers, routers, monitors, tablets, keyboards, and more.

The Google Pixel Tablet (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is a good Android tablet. Where it really shines, though, is its ability to be paired with the charging speaker dock to transform into a smart speaker when you aren’t using it as a tablet. Right now, only the tablet version is on sale, and it’s a good price if you want to buy it for the sharp screen and overall solid performance. —Nena Farrell
With the Surface Pro 11th Edition (6/10, WIRED Review), Microsoft’s long-standing 2-in-1 laptop is finally living up to its potential. Unlike previous models, it had great performance and battery life to match its excellent design and build quality. A true iPad Pro alternative for Windows users. With the latest Surface Pro keyboard, you can now even work while disconnected from the device, making it the ultimate travel companion —Luke Larsen
Cheap laptops don’t have to be terrible, and the HP Chromebook Plus x360 proves it. While there are more premium Chromebooks out there, none sell for so little on discount. It has a 14-inch 1080p screen, and unlike some Chromebooks at this price, it also comes with enough RAM and storage. If you need a simple little laptop for getting work done, you won’t find a better laptop for under $500. —Luke Larsen
Finally, we’re getting some new ultra-affordable Chromebooks. This new generation of Chromebooks look and feel more like modern laptops, and the Asus Chromebook CX15 is a great example of that. Its bezels aren’t overly large, and the keyboard feels great to type on. Not perfect, of course, but at $50 off the already low price, it’s one of the very best laptops you can buy at this price. —Luke Larsen
Photograph: Netgear
It may look like a space shuttle, but this is actually one of the best Wi-Fi routers, and if it lands in your home, you can expect speedy Wi-Fi on three bands (6-GHz, 5-GHz, and 2.4-GHz). It also boasts a 2.5-Gbps WAN/LAN port, five gigabit LAN ports, and a USB-C 3.0 port. This Wi-Fi 6E router has been dropping in price since Wi-Fi 7 took off, but we’ve never seen it this low. —Simon Hill
Staying connected to the internet when you travel can be challenging, but a good mobile hotspot will keep you online, and the Netgear Nighthawk M6 Pro is a very good mobile hotspot. With support for 4G and 5G networks, simply slip a SIM card in, and you’re good to go. You can connect up to 32 devices, the range is up to 2,000 square feet, and, as a Wi-Fi 6E router, it supports the lightning-fast 6-GHz band. —Simon Hill
Gamers seeking customizable RGB lighting and a performance edge will love the tri-band Asus ROG Rapture GT6. A single 2.4-GHz band and two 5-GHz bands offer a speedy connection for all your gaming gear. The 5-GHz performance is excellent with the wider 160-MHz channels. You also get free security software, comprehensive parental controls, game modes that boost performance and prioritize related traffic, and plenty of ports, including four Ethernet and one USB. —Simon Hill
Enjoy simple, set-and-forget Wi-Fi courtesy of Amazon’s Eero mesh systems. The tri-band Eero Pro 6E (7/10, WIRED Recommends) adds 6 GHz to the familiar 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz bands, for fast and dependable Wi-Fi. It’s the perfect choice for busy households with many devices and a 1 Gbps or faster connection. The Eero Plus subscription is expensive ($10 per month or $100 per year) but includes comprehensive parental controls, advanced security, ad blocking, and even a password manager and VPN service. —Simon Hill
Photograph: TP-Link
As the budget pick in our best mesh Wi-Fi systems guide, the Deco X20 is already a bargain. This Wi-Fi 6 dual-band mesh (2.4-GHz and 5-GHz) is easy to set up and delivered solid results in my tests. It’s not the speediest mesh, but if your internet connection is 500 Mbps or less, it’s likely enough. Each router has two gigabit Ethernet ports, and the vaselike design blends in easily on shelves or tables. —Simon Hill
This tri-band Wi-Fi 6E mesh system from TP-Link scores a place in our best mesh Wi-Fi systems guide. Easy to set up and configure through the mobile app, each unit has one 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port and two gigabit ports. It offers fast speeds at close range on the 6-GHz band, but was also fast on 5 GHz, and offered a decent range on 2.4 GHz. There are optional subscriptions for parental controls and enhanced security. —Simon Hill
This fantastic OLED gaming monitor came out late last year, and it’s already dropped to an all-time low of $730. And it’s not because it’s not a good monitor. Far from it. The LG UltraGear 34GS95QE (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has the exceptional image quality and HDR goodness we expect from modern OLED monitors, combined with an aggressive 800R curve that wraps around your field of view. —Luke Larsen
The prices of OLED gaming monitors keep dropping, but the Samsung Odyssey G6 (8/10, Wired Recommends) will be among the absolute cheapest options you can buy. And I don’t mean cheap in terms of quality. With a 360-Hz refresh rate and fantastic colors, as tested by one of our monitor reviewers, it delivers fast and sharp gaming action. It’s the OLED monitor most gamers should be buying on Prime Day this year. —Luke Larsen

Not everyone needs a smart monitor, but for the right person or family, it’s a lifesaver. This 32-inch, 4K monitor would be perfect for an office that just so happens to double as an entertainment room in the evening. Because it comes with a remote and webOS software, the LG MyView Smart Monitor (7/10, WIRED Recommends) transforms from a work monitor into a fully functioning smart TV when you need it to be—no PC required. —Luke Larsen
The Logitech G Pro X TKL tops our list as the best keyboard you can buy, and for good reason. The tactile switches (also known as linear switches) feel luscious, and I find the TKL (lack of number pad) layout to be ideal for gaming, never getting in the way of my mouse hand, but not making non-gaming inconvenient. While it’s normally a bit expensive, this sale price makes it an absolute must-buy if you’re looking for a gaming keyboard. —Luke Larsen
Low-profile mechanical keyboards are the best of both worlds, offering that tactile typing we all love without the bulk and heaviness that come with standard mechanical keyboards. It has a strikingly thin profile, despite the fact that it has hot-swappable switches and a gasket mount design. It’s a gorgeous design, and it’s one of the very best mechanical keyboards you can buy. —Luke Larsen
Logitech’s premium wireless gaming mouse is one of my very favorites. It’s a mainstay in this category thanks to its excellent, reliable sensor and simple design. It’s particularly good if fast-paced first-person shooters are your jam, thanks to its speedy polling rate and DPI. I like that the aesthetic isn’t overly flashy, maintaining a fairly subtle design that could fit just as well in an office as it could next to a bottle of Mountain Dew. —Luke Larsen
Photograph: Eric Ravenscraft
Nzxt might not be known for gaming mice, but based on the Lift 2, it should be. It’s wired, of course, but that should be a given for the price. What you get, however, is a super-light design that weighs just 61 grams. It also has high-end specs like an 8K polling rate and a sensor that keeps your games feeling responsive. For only $25, this is a no-brainer. —Luke Larsen
The Backbone One (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is our favorite mobile gaming controller. Even five years after I reviewed it, I still reach for it constantly. It snaps onto your phone (iOS or Android, depending on the connector) and is compatible with tons of good mobile games. The Backbone app is great, too, with one-button streaming and voice features. The controller is so user-friendly, I used it to play Stardew Valley on my phone for 10 hours straight. —Louryn Strampe
You probably don’t need to hook up five 4K monitors to your laptop. You really don’t. But with two HDMI ports and three Thunderbolt 4 ports, the Plugable USB-C Docking Station can do it. One of the HDMI ports is HDMI 2.1, meaning it can also support 4K resolutions up to 120-Hz. It’s missing an SD card slot, but it’s otherwise a powerful dock in a compact, metal chassis. —Luke Larsen

This handy tablet holder is great at holding up tablets, e-readers, and even a Nintendo Switch. I love using it in bed or on the couch so I don’t strain my wrist cysts. It’s easy to set up anywhere in the house, so long as there’s a ledge or table to secure it onto. —Nena Farrell
This drive has been superseded by the LaCie Rugged SSD Pro5, but it’s still a great deal. The main difference is that the new drive is faster, but for something like backups, this will work just fine. LaCie’s padded drives are great for travel and frankly this is a steal at this price. —Scott Gilbertson
Before you get too excited about this deal (it’s a good one), know that, to take full advantage of the speed of this drive, you’ll need a system that supports the PCIe 4.0 SSD standard. Provided you’ve got the machine to take advantage of it, in benchmark tests, this drive’s results came very close to Western Digital’s claimed 7,300 MB/s read speeds. It’s worth noting that the 8-TB version is also on sale for $620 ($930 off). —Scott Gilbertson
Photograph: Scott Gilbertson
Lexar’s Professional 2000x SDXC memory cards have been my choice for eight years now, and the very first one I ever bought is still going strong. The UHS-II (U3) speeds go up to (and sometimes over) Lexar’s claimed 300MB/s, and it has no trouble with 6K video. This deal is on the largest (and best if you’re shooting video), but the other sizes are also on sale if you don’t need the big one. —Scott Gilbertson
The Canon EOS R6II is a great camera if you need fast autofocus or fast shooting capabilities. It loses a few megapixels in the sensor compared to our favorite Canon, the EOS R, but you get much faster autofocus and 40 fps burst rates. On the video side you can capture 6K oversampled video, and uncropped 4K movies up to 60 fps.
The Nikon Z6 III (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is our favorite Nikon mirrorless camera. The 24-megapixel partially stacked CMOS sensor offers great image and video quality, with excellent subject tracking autofocus and support for ProRes video. It’s one of the best hybrid, photo/video cameras on the market. —Scott Gilbertson

Not to be confused with the Galaxy S24 series, this midrange smartphone from late 2024 has some elements of the flagship phone, but makes some sacrifices to get the price down. In my Best Samsung Phones guide, I say the FE is only worth buying if it dips below $500. Well, that time has come. Performance is solid, the triple-camera system is handy, and it will get six more years of updates. —Julian Chokkattu
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is Samsung’s top-of-the-line flagship candybar smartphone. Maybe the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold7 series isn’t as enticing to you. Now’s your chance to snag the gargantuan phone at a decent discount. It has two telephoto zoom cameras, so you can snap the perfect pic of your kid on the soccer pitch, and there’s a hidden stylus that lets you sign documents and jot down handwritten notes in a jiffy. Read our Best Samsung Phones guide for more. —Julian Chokkattu
This is one of the lowest prices we’ve seen on Samsung’s folding phone, which tracks because Samsung is announcing the Galaxy Z Fold7 series this week. Still, there’s nothing wrong with buying last year’s tech, especially when you get a massive discount. The Z Fold6 may not be as enticing as competitors like the Pixel 9 Pro Fold or the Honor Magic V3, but it has the best build quality of the lot and sports the best after-sales support network. —Julian Chokkattu
Google’s next folding phone isn’t far off, so it’s a good time to grab the 2024 model at one of its lowest prices. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold slimmed down the original and made it taller, making it feel remarkably like a normal Pixel when closed. But you can open it up to experience a large 8-inch screen. Its camera experience is slightly behind the Pixel 9 Pro, but it’s still a capable and powerful smartphone that’s great for multitaskers. —Julian Chokkattu

This chunky device stands out as one of the best power banks because it can supply up to 145 watts (one USB-C port at 100 W and the other at 45 W). An ample 25,000 mAh capacity is enough to top up all your gadgets, and you can fly with this power bank in your carry-on. The small LED display shows the current charge state of the battery, and it comes with a USB-C cable. —Simon Hill
For folks with an iPhone and AirPods, this is one of the best MagSafe wireless chargers on the market. The wide, circular base is steady with a spot for charging AirPods, and the MagSafe charging pad allows you to charge your iPhone in landscape for StandBy mode, which turns it into an alarm clock. This charger can provide the top 15-watt rate and includes a power adapter with a 5-foot cable permanently attached. —Simon Hill
Keeping my phone both secure and visible in the car was an ongoing experiment for years—suction cup and vent mounts fall off, my lap wasn’t feasible, and just plopping my phone in the cup holder obscured too much of the screen. Last year I came across this item as a solution, and while I don’t love having to give up a cupholder, the Bokilino has performed admirably at keeping my phone secure and angled correctly. My only regret is not having nabbed it at this price. —Kat Merck

Deals on televisions and streaming devices like Roku.

We love Roku because it offers a simple and easy-to-use streaming interface at an affordable price, and the same can be said for its in-house TVs. This Plus Series model (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is bright and features good HDR for colors, making it a no-brainer for someone who wants a simple cheap TV. —Parker Hall
If you’re after a premium screen with a bit more pop and punch than your average OLED, the QN90D (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is a hot contender. This QLED TV offers fabulous picture processing for excellent clarity, accurate yet intense colors, and knockout brightness to bust through even your sunniest viewing parties. Its off-axis viewing is just OK, but its mini LED backlight does a good job creating crisp images and deep blacks for a great watch in any lighting. —Ryan Waniata
TCL’s QM6K (8/10, WIRED Recommends) sits atop our Best TVs list thanks to a brilliantly balanced picture for the money. It’s not the brightest TV in its price class, but it’s got enough spunk to light up HDR, good black levels for impressive contrast, rich and natural colors, and a remarkably clear and unified screen for its class. Good gaming chops and an intuitive Google TV interface finish the deal for a great buy. —Ryan Waniata
Photograph: Ryan Waniata
Sony’s Bravia 8 II (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is one of the most beautiful TVs you can buy. Its QD-OLED screen isn’t quite as deep black or scorching bright as the LG G5 (9/10, WIRED Recommends). Instead, Sony relies on fabulous picture processing for pristine clarity and incredibly vivid yet natural colors to wow you into submission. The TV’s still-flashy HDR punch, perfect off-angle viewing, and handy gaming features complete the package for a glorious ride. —Ryan Waniata
The Roku Ultra is the ultimate Roku. It features support for Dolby Vision and a wired Ethernet port for the fastest streaming, and the included remote comes with a 3.5 mm port, so you can plug in headphones and still watch your big screen. —Parker Hall

If you’re still under the impression that noise-canceling earbuds cost hundreds of dollars, welcome to the weird world of 2025 where they’re basically free. These wireless buds provide clear sound, noise canceling that targets low frequencies, and even a helpful app with features like EQ presets and multi-point pairing, all for less than a takeout dinner for two. On sale? Now that’s a deal. —Ryan Waniata
After years as the go-to choice for the best wireless headphones, Sony’s illustrious WH-1000XM5 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) were upgraded to the pricey but potent XM6 (9/10, WIRED Recommends). For savvy shoppers, that spells a sweet deal on the previous pair, and I was happy to see a sizable price drop for Prime Day. These headphones still offer some of the best sound, noise canceling, and features available, in a slick matte package that’s ready to travel. —Ryan Waniata
Google’s Pixel Buds Pro 2 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) are essentially AirPods Pro for Android. They work amazingly well, with great noise canceling, good mics, and excellent sound quality. I like that they’re a bit smaller other models, which makes them fit well in everybody’s ears. —Parker Hall

These affordable open earbuds from SoundPeats are utterly capable of everything that much more expensive options from Bose and Sony can do—play decent-sounding music while allowing you to hear the oncoming F150. Open earbuds will never be hi-fi. Just get a cheap pair like this. —Parker Hall
Ultimate Ears is a serial contributor to our Best Bluetooth speakers list, and the Boom 4 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is one of my favorites for its mix of smooth, balanced sound and excellent usability. From its extensive Bluetooth range to app features like a multi-band EQ and the ability to wake the speaker from rest, the Boom 4 is a stalwart companion that shrugs off dust, weather, and even serious drops without missing a beat. —Ryan Waniata
These awesome, affordable AirPods Pro lookalikes come in Pikachu yellow with clear elephant trunks, and they nearly sound as good as the real deal. I love how comfortable the Nothing Ear (a) (8/10, WIRED Recommends) are thanks to silicone eartips, and the included charging case is also relatively stylish—something you’re hard-pressed to find in this price category. —Parker Hall

Sonos has been through some app-based tumult over the past year, but one product that has remained excellent is this Sonos Roam 2 Bluetooth speaker (9/10, WIRED Recommends). The little triangle sounds fantastic and takes a real beating. —Parker Hall
JBL’s Authentics 200 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) speaks both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa so you can swap between the two for multiple tasks—especially handy if you have smart home devices from both brands. Its retro design and control knobs make it as easy on the eyes as it is to use, while its excellent sound stands with some of the best smart speakers we’ve tested, including the revered Sonos Era 100 (9/10, WIRED Recommends). —Ryan Waniata
The Bose Soundlink Mac (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is the ultimate modern boombox, thanks to huge dynamic drivers, massive bass, and an awesome ropelike carrying handle. It’s about the size of a middle school lunchbox but packs much more power, with enough juice to last 20 hours on a single charge. —Parker Hall
Know someone who’s hard of hearing? The Zvox AccuVoice AV157 is our favorite affordable soundbar for ramping up dialog. The secret is in the Zvox AccuVoice software, which uses digital signal processing to clarify voices and other sometimes buried audio. Every TV needs a great soundbar, and this one is a top affordable option for clarifying the garble so you hear everything right the first time through. —Ryan Waniata

In the world of USB microphones, Blue’s Yeti deserves a place on Mt. Rushmore. This iconic mic sounds great, looks great, and features quality physical controls like a volume knob to help you fine-tune your sound. It used to be good, it’s still good. Be grateful. The black one is also on sale. —Parker Hall
Everyone should carry around a pair of earplugs to protect their hearing, especially folks who regularly attend live events like concerts or festivals. These affordable plugs are super easy to take in and out thanks to their loop-based design, and they’re pretty comfortable (and decent-sounding). —Parker Hall
I like these more expensive Loop earplugs because they allow you to adjust just how much sound gets in and out of your ears, which makes them really awesome for things like festivals or longer concerts where opening bands are often quieter than headliners. —Parker Hall
Amazon
Getting the Wiim Amp on sale feels like double dipping on your taxes; the deal’s almost too good. I tested both the original Amp and the Amp Pro (9/10, WIRED Recommends) with multiple bookshelf speaker pairs, and the performance differences are minor. Meanwhile, the standard Amp offers AirPlay while the Pro doesn’t, adding to its cascade of streaming options, HDMI ARC support, and a potent power supply for a killer A/V entry point. —Ryan Waniata

This is about the lowest price you can expect to find this year, or any future year, on what may be the top-selling espresso machine in the world. Breville’s Barista Express is already the Goldilocks Breville when weighing cost and value among powerful, precise semiautomatic machines we recommend as the best in the game. It’ll grind your beans, push out balanced shots, and froth your milk to boot, with few hitches and a long track record. —Matthew Korfhage
We rank the Italian-made Linea Classic from De’Longhi as our favorite $200 espresso maker, a price point where it’s tough to find a reliable machine. This is true especially among machines with a pressure gauge and a fast-heating thermopump. Welp, now it’s not $200. It’s $150. Trade-offs are that the steam wand is a little foamy, and the portafilter is lightweight. —Matthew Korfhage
The original Aeropress—a brilliant coffeemaker from the same guy who brought you the Aerobie Flying Ring—remains part of my coffee-making rotation even after a decade and many fancier devices. You fill it with grounds, pour over water, and use a plunger to steep and then force-pressurize the beans to get a cup that’s not quite espresso but not quite coffee and thoroughly delicious with minimum effort and cleaning. If you’ve always been curious, an APD sale is a good time to take the plunge. —Martin Cizmar
This is the best pod coffee maker for iced coffee enjoyers. It has two water reservoirs, with one of them being dedicated to chilled water. That means your coffee will come out cold, even if you don’t add ice before consuming your morning brew. And traditionalists can still enjoy a hot cup, too. Both types allow for custom sizes and strengths. —Louryn Strampe
The Bruvi BV-01 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is my favorite pod coffee machine. The design is cute and the coffee pods brew a respectable cup. They’re also biodegradable. The large touchscreen and companion app let you customize and schedule your coffee, and brewing is fast at under one minute. This bundle comes with 20 coffee and espresso pods to get you started. —Louryn Strampe

This is the best grinder I know at this price range. It might not be your pick for espresso: the 15-grind setting doesn’t offer fine enough distinctions. For that, get the Baratza ESP. But for Aeropress, drip, or French Press? This is the lowest-cost grinder that’ll give you good extraction and an even grind, and it’s even cheaper right now. —Matthew Korfhage
I didn’t used to be the guy who makes steaks in an air fryer. But the Dreo Chefmaker Combi Fryer is the best air fryer for roasts, steaks, and chops precisely because it’s no ordinary air fryer. It has steam cooking, and a temperature probe, and smart programs that’ll take meat up to temp, then sear the heck out of it at high temp but leave it pink in the middle. It’s fun. And way cheap during Prime Day. —Matthew Korfhage
This isn’t the best, or the biggest, or the most versatile air fryer. But this Dash Tasti-Crisp is so small, so easy to tuck away, and so low-priced during Prime Day that it’s barely even a decision anymore—and former WIRED reviewer Brenda Stolyar has sworn by it for years without trouble. This ridiculously low price is a zero-commitment way to get crisp fries and chicken. —Matthew Korfhage
I mentioned these rattan proofing baskets as an example of long-lasting wooden cookware in my review of KitchenAid’s Evergreen Stand Mixer (7/10, WIRED Review), as I’ve been using them for years. It looks like they now come with fabric liners for wetter doughs (mine didn’t back in the day), but I definitely recommend going without the liner for standard-hydration formulas, since the coiled design leaves a cool swirl design on the finished boule. —Kat Merck

The Instant Pot Pro Plus (8/10, WIRED Recommends), is a thoughtfully designed and capable multi-cooker, still our favorite multicooker WIRED has tested. Sure it’s “smart,” meaning it has an app. But it’s also smart, filled with thoughtful touches like a flat bottom, interior handles, higher wattage, and preprogrammed pressure release. It’s nice. And around 30 percent off. —Matthew Korfhage
Food processors don’t have to be big or complicated or even powerful to be useful. Most of the dumb little cutting I do is of the half-onion or “too many little pieces of carrot” variety. This low-cost Hamilton Beach veggie chopper, on sale for double-cheap during Prime Day, is an old favorite of multiple WIRED staffers because it is tiny and it solves tiny but persistent problems. Which is to say, it dices an onion. —Matthew Korfhage
The Nama J2 Cold Press Juicer is my top-rated juicer. It felt revolutionary when it came out a couple years ago, and is still the best, with a top-loading hopper that allows you to load up healthy fruits. Press the button and then forget about it. It’s pretty and effective, chewing through carrots or spinach or soft berries to make nutrient-rich, tasty juice. It also makes sorbet. Slow juicers aren’t cheap, but this is the cheapest I’ve seen this one. —Matthew Korfhage

I cook with the Our Place Always Pan 2.0 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) nearly every time I make a meal. The nontoxic nonstick surface and sloped edges make this pan suitable for almost everything, from frying eggs to one-pot pastas to steaming veggies and searing burgers. It includes a spoon, basket, and lid, and it comes in cute colors, too. —Louryn Strampe
Deep-dish Detroit-style pizza has seen a surge in popularity of late—I live in a small town in Southwest Washington and even we have had several Detroit-style joints pop up in the past year. If you want to see what the fuss is all about by making it yourself, Lloyd is the brand of pan you want for both longevity and those famed extra-crispy edges. Just make sure your recipe doesn’t skimp on the oil. —Kat Merck
Emergen-C
I keep a box of this stuff stashed for sick days, red-eye flights, and moments I feel a sore throat sneaking up. It’s packed with 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C, some B vitamins, and electrolytes. There’s no evidence that Emergen-C will prevent getting sick, but an extra dose of vitamin C is generally safe and can reduce the severity of your symptoms. The orangey taste isn’t awful—some people even like it (I wouldn’t go that far). Normally $28, it’s now cheaper, so go ahead and stock up before flu season. —Boutayna Chokrane
Celsius’ variety pack is my favorite kind of gamble. You’ll likely score staples like Sparkling Orange and Grape Rush, maybe even Mango Passionfruit if the Prime gods smile upon you. It’s a mix of fizzy and non-carbonated energy drinks, with 200 milligrams of caffeine—derived from guarana seed and green tea extracts—per can. If you’re not into surprises, individual flavors like Sparkling Orange, Fizz-Free Peach Mango, and Green Apple Cherry are also available at a discounted price. —Boutayna Chokrane
Out of the 12 that we’ve tried, this is our favorite greens powder. The flavors are quite sweet and fruity—my favorite is Strawberry Kiwi—and it has a solid mix of vitamins, probiotics, and fruits and veggies. I also like the packaging, which doesn’t take up too much space on the kitchen counter. Just remember to eat a balanced diet, too—this is a supplement, after all! —Louryn Strampe
This is the best electrolyte powder overall, and I especially love taking it along to festivals. It’s got a solid mix of sodium, carbs, and sugar, which are the three key ingredients to look for according to dietitians. And with over 20 different flavors to choose from, there’s something for everybody (though I especially love the watermelon!) It makes me feel better while dancing in the sun than plain water does. —Louryn Strampe
Isopure’s zero-carb protein powder is smooth, subtly sweet, and versatile; it blends into smoothies, oatmeals, and no-bake cheesecakes. WIRED reviewer Nena Farrell stirs it into her post-workout treats, and Scott Gilbertson loves incorporating it into his baked goods. There are 25 grams of protein per serving, and the flavors go beyond the standard vanilla and chocolate (think banana cream, toasted coconut, and cookies and cream). —Boutayna Chokrane
I’ve been on a Vital Proteins kick lately, and it’s an easy upgrade to your wellness routine. This unflavored collagen powder blends into coffee, smoothies, even oatmeal—hot or cold. You get 20 grams of collagen per scoop, derived from grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine. If you’re trying to sneak in some joint or skin support without thinking too much about it, this is the one. —Boutayna Chokrane

This is a solid, basic Dyson vacuum. It was Dyson’s previous entry-level vacuum before the Digital Slim (our current budget pick), and while it’s not the most recent model, it’s still a great vacuum to get on a budget. It’s still plenty powerful on carpet and hard flooring, and comes with three accessories and two power modes. It’s especially a great purchase right now while it’s on sale. —Nena Farrell
The Qrevo S is our current Best Robot Vacuum for having a bewildering array of features—mopping and vacuuming, automatic bin emptying, and mop washing—combined with reliable navigation and a not-insane price tag. It doesn’t have a camera, so it protects your privacy, and Roborock’s SmartPlan also switches automatically between cleaning modes and floor surfaces in your house to clean more efficiently.—Adrienne So
We like all of Tapo’s other products, like security cameras, so it makes sense that we’d like the company’s effective, affordable robot vacuums. The app connects easily and made a quick, accurate map of my children’s bedrooms and bathroom. It also has an onboard dust bin, so you don’t need to worry about the surprisingly-hard-to-find replacement dustbin bags for some of Tapo’s other models.—Adrienne So
Looking for a Dyson dupe? WIRED reviewer Adrienne So’s husband thought this stick vacuum was a Dyson when he saw her using it, but it’s actually the Shark PowerDetect (8/10, WIRED Recommends). While it’s not quite as high-quality as a Dyson, it’s still a great stick vacuum that cleans well, has a self-emptying docking station, and comes with lots of accessories. It’s worth the price—especially at this sale price. —Nena Farrell

Most window air conditioners are stupid: When you install them, you don’t have a window anymore. Allow me to introduce you to the letter “U.” This Midea, WIRED’s favorite window unit, is U-shaped and so can fold over the front and back of your sill. So you can still have a window and be cool while having one. Installation is slightly more cumbersome, and involves foam. But the results are better. And it’s the cheapest it’s been this year. —Matthew Korfhage
This unassuming air purifier has been our top budget pick for a while, and for good reason. WIRED reviewer Lisa Wood Shapiro found it can clean a 361-square-foot room with an air exchange rate under five times an hour, its slim profile makes it easy to situate, and filter refills are both easy to find and inexpensive. I’ve also had a Mighty doing daily duty in my kitchen since 2022 and it’s still going strong. —Kat Merck
Shark’s bigger FlexBreeze misting fan is one of our favorite fans for outdoor use, so I was excited to try this smaller, portable version with fun colors and a built-in tank. It’s been a regular fixture on the bench at my son’s outdoor soccer games, and while I love the portability, the mist is quite fine and easily blows away unless you have your face inches from it. Mist or no mist, it’s still a great summer sidekick. —Kat Merck
Hey, you—yes, you. Do you live in a house? Then you probably need to clean your dryer vents. Like, right now. More than 15,000 house fires are started every year by dryers, specifically due to years of lint buildup in dryer vents and ducting. People might clean the exterior vents when they see lint buildup, but not the ducting, which is why this nifty drill attachment makes a great gift for new homeowners, old-home owners, or anyone on your list. —Kat Merck
In our guide to the Best Air Purifiers, WIRED Reviewer Lisa Wood Shaprio liked this air purifier’s built-in heating and cooling function, as well as its app and electronic CARB certification, which means it meets the stringent emissions requirements set by the California Air Resources Board. She did find it to be loud for its size, however—clocking in at 85 dB on high. —Kat Merck

Aura’s digital picture frames are my favorite part of my house. The Carver is our favorite affordable frame that still packs fantastic software and unlimited photo storage, and the Mat version that costs a little more (but looks gorgeous!) is currently on sale. It makes a great gift, and a great addition to any home. —Nena Farrell
Perhaps the ideal outdoor security camera for Google households, the Nest Cam Outdoor has a handy magnetic mount and an expansive 130-degree field of view, and captures sharp 1080p video with HDR and night vision. It also sports a clear speaker and microphone. You only get three hours of free event history, but you can add a Nest Aware subscription ($8 a month, or $80 for the whole year) to get 30 days of event history and face recognition. —Simon Hill
This two-camera kit comes with a home hub, and it’s the upgrade pick for folks seeking a local, subscription-free system in our best outdoor security cameras guide. The EufyCam 3 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has built-in solar, up to 4K video resolution, and 16 GB of local storage (expandable up to 16 TB) on the connected HomeBase 3 hub. You also get on-device people, pets, and vehicle recognition, and this system can even recognize familiar faces. —Simon Hill
This incredibly versatile device is one of the best indoor security cameras, with a dual-lens design combining a regular 4K camera with a 130-degree field of view and 2K telephoto lens that supports 3x optical zoom. You can also pan 360 degrees and tilt 75 degrees. There’s AI tracking with up to four preset positions, plus privacy mode, two-way audio, and onboard AI to detect people, pets, and sounds. Record locally with a microSD card or HomeBase 3 (both sold separately). —Simon Hill
Folks with a Ring doorbell seeking security inside the home can keep everything in one app with this camera. The Ring Indoor Cam (2nd Gen) records crisp 1080p footage at 24 frames per second, boasts color night vision, and has a privacy shutter you can swivel around. Pre-roll captures a few seconds before each event, and you also get motion alerts, two-way audio, and a built-in siren. It’s two for the price of one with this deal! —Simon Hill
Offering everything you want, including crisp 2K video at 24 frames per second, two-way audio, and a compact design that includes a privacy shutter, this is the upgrade pick in our best indoor security cameras guide and it’s no wonder. The Arlo app is swift to load, offers excellent notifications, and supports two-factor authentication, so you can log in with your fingerprint or face, phone permitting. We’ve seen discounts before but never this low. The only catch is the pricey subscription. —Simon Hill
Arlo ticks all the boxes with crisp 2K video, a wide 160-degree field of view, two-way audio, and direct Wi-Fi connection, and the Pro 5 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) tops our best outdoor security cameras guide. The Arlo app is swift to load, offers rich notifications, and supports two-factor authentication, so you can log in with your fingerprint or face, phone permitting. The catch is a pricey subscription for subject recognition, smart alerts, and cloud storage. —Simon Hill

This is my favorite budget smart lock now that there’s a hub you can pair with it for a mere $20. Aqara’s Smart Lock U50 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is a great-looking lock that’s affordable, high quality, and works well. Even when my hub disconnected, the U50 never faltered with remembering codes or auto-locking. I only gave it a 7 originally due to the expensive hub. —Nena Farrell
Yale’s Assure Lock 2 has been on my front door for about a month now, and my whole house has been pretty happy with it. I’m a fan of the fingerprint reader, which responds quickly to my touch, while my husband likes using the code entry. It’s a full lock replacement that puts a keypad on the front of your door, and there are versions with and without a classic keyhole (and included key to match it). —Nena Farrell
This sound machine is teeny-tiny, but it makes some big (yet soothing) soundwaves. It doesn’t take up much space, since it’s less than 2 inches tall. I like the variety of sounds that create ambient noise for when I’m falling asleep, or even if I just need some background noise during the workday. It sits inconspicuously on a dresser or desk, and is easy to take with me on trips. I can afford the space in my carry-on if it’s going to help me sleep better. —Julia Forbes
I love this pillow. I’ve slept on nearly 30 different pillows in my quest to find the best ones to recommend—don’t miss the Best Pillows guide with the results!—and this is by far my personal favorite as a side sleeper. It’s made of cross-cut memory foam and microfiber to keep it supportive without getting flat, and it’s adjustable with extra fill included. It’s such a good pillow I got one for both of my parents. —Nena Farrell
This machine is beautifully simple and straightforward. It uses a fan to create white noise, and you twist the fabric sleeve either left or right to adjust the volume. I keep mine standing guard on my bedroom dresser, as you’re supposed to keep it a distance from your bed so that you can get all the benefits of white noise radiating around the room. I live near a bustling city and college campus, so if I want to block out the sound of traffic or a house party, I crank the Snooz up. —Julia Forbes

These are some of the softest sheets I’ve ever slept on. Bamboo sheets are already known for being soft and silky, but Cozy Earth’s bamboo sheets are truly cozy-soft, with almost a jerseylike snuggle to them. These sheets are one of the top picks in my guide to the Best Bamboo Sheets, and well worth the splurge. This is the best time to snag them for 35 percent off with our code WIRED. —Nena Farrell
If you’re a hot sleeper, don’t miss this sale. I’ve slept on dozens of sheets in my quest to find the best cooling sheets, and the Slumber Cloud’s Tencel Performance Sheets are it. They feel like an extra-soft lightweight percale, but pack phase change materials to truly draw heat away from your body and out of the sheets. I get downright chilly in these sheets if it’s not a hot night, and that’s a miracle for me. —Nena Farrell
These reliable devices made our best water leak detectors guide because they have four metal probes underneath and two above to swiftly detect water dripping or pooling. Alerts hit my phone as push notifications within one to two seconds and there’s a fairly loud 90-decibel alarm, though you can reduce the volume in the app or even mute it. Just bear in mind that you need a Tapo hub ($23) to connect these with. —Simon Hill
Pura is known for its luxury scent cartridges from companies like Anthropologie, Nest, and Capri Blue, but as we note in our guide to the Best Essential Oil Diffusers, the Plus is the best option for scenting large spaces. I have one in an open-concept area of my home with 23-foot ceilings, and it’s the only diffuser I’ve found that’s both up to the job and offers clean, pet-safe fragrances that won’t set off my air purifier. —Kat Merck

If you want a decent office chair but don’t want to spend much, the Branch Ergonomic Chair is our top budget pick. It’s quite adjustable, and while the backrest doesn’t keep your back as upright, it still feels supportive and comfortable. It also looks better than any other office chair at this price. —Julian Chokkattu
This is our upgrade pick in our Best Office Chairs guide. The seat foam is a little more padded than a chair like the Herman Miller Embody, and there’s a good amount of upholstery options. It’s quite adjustable, so you can tailor it to your body, and there’s a 12-year warranty if anything goes wrong. —Julian Chokkattu
Flexispot makes affordable home office furniture, and the EN1 is our top budget standing desk recommendation. It has four memory presets, so two people can set pairs of their preferred sitting and standing heights. The desktop is particleboard but feels nice, and the motors are reasonably quiet. There are a few different sizes and colors you can choose from. —Julian Chokkattu

Are you a father? Do you like your father? This FLIR is WIRED’s favorite thermal imaging camera. It’s also the secret wish of every dad. It affixes to your phone, and it is a map to all the leaks in your life. Insulation leaks! Electrical leaks! Oh god, the possibilities. It’s also a new toy, which is all that adult men ever really want. This is the best deal of the year on it.—Matthew Korfhage
Why not upgrade your home with 100 feet of outdoor lighting, sporting 60 RGBIC LEDs, at a hefty discount? Like all our favorite Govee smart lights, you can choose colors, brightness, animated scenes, and automation in the jam-packed app. These IP67-rated lights are designed to be permanently attached to the outside of your home for all your holiday celebrations or just classy lighting year-round. —Simon Hill
The Petkit PuraMax 2 is the automatic litter box that I recommend for most people. It’s easy to use, compact, and actually smells great. This box actually smells good, with quadruple odor protection; plus, when it’s time to refill with clean litter, the box rotates so the hole is on top for easier filling. At $370, this is an exceptional deal for an automatic litter box of this caliber, and it’s the lowest price we’ll see all year. —Molly Higgins

The inside of this cat water fountain is lit by a blue LED, with a clear viewing window on the side that makes it easy to monitor the water level from afar. It’s also got a dishwasher-safe metal bowl, and you can remove parts of the yellow and white “flower” to create a fountain configuration your cat likes like waterfall, low bubble-up, tall bubble-up. This already affordable fountain is a steal at $18—one of the lowest prices you can get for a solid fountain. —Molly Higgins
If you’re a pet owner (or you’re shopping for one), this little tool is amazing. It’s a Prime Day staple around here. Simply roll it back and forth across furniture or carpets and be amazed, if not a bit disgusted, at how much hair it picks up. It’s beyond easy to use and easy to clean, and the best part is that you can reuse it over and over again—mine is four years old and still going strong. —Louryn Strampe
It’s no secret I love Petlibro’s products, their automatic feeders and fountains are consistently my top picks. The RFID automatic feeder is a total game changer for pets in a multi-pet home. Using a pet collar tag, the feeder will only open for the specific pet wearing the collar—meaning Fido won’t get the cat’s food, or multiple cats will each get the exact same amount. Usually around $170, this is probably the lowest the price will drop until Black Friday. —Molly Higgins
Since I can’t truly test this one out myself, I called in the experts: my dogs. They adore this bed. It combines all the factors they seem to be obsessed with: a donut shape that encircles them, a fuzzy surface to snuggle into, and soft cushioning to lie on. The anti-skid bottom comes in handy when they paw at it in the arduous process of getting comfortable (more like wrestling with it), so the bed stays put. And to avoid that Frito chip smell, it’s machine washable. —Julia Forbes
Courtesy of Furbo
I just started testing this mini pet camera from Furbo, and I’m liking it a lot. It can be mounted, plus it has two-way audio, smart alerts, and video recaps. It also uses Furbo Nanny—an AI-powered system that watches over your pet with real-time alerts and smart insights, notifying when there’s unusual activity or emergencies. At a ridiculously cheap price of $25, this is the lowest price we’ve ever seen for this smart pet cam. —Molly Higgins

Fellow reviewer Nena Farrell is only a couple of weeks into testing HigherDose’s red light mask and is already a fan. The triple-strap design doesn’t squeeze the bananas out of your head (her words), and it beams red and near-infrared light (630 and 830 nanometers) that’s designed to boost collagen and reduce inflammation. It’s comfortable, cordless, and so far, the battery holds up. Normally $349, it’s 20 percent off for Prime Day. —Boutayna Chokrane
The Philips Multigroom 7000 series is a versatile classic among the best beard trimmers— a beautiful beast with admirable heft and a broad set of guards for every season, face, and beard. The mix of close shave, durability, versatility, and simple, good construction makes it the one I turn to most often, when I’m not testing other trimmers. This is the durable titanium version, available at a nice 20 percent price break. —Matthew Korfhage

The T3 Aire 360 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) matches the Dyson Airwrap in power and aesthetics but at a price that feels way more justified. It comes with fewer ceramic attachments than its competitors, but with two curling barrels, a concentrator, and an oval brush, it’s more than enough for a salon-worthy blowout. The rose-pink finish is adorable, and it stashes easily in a drawer. WIRED reviewer Nena Farrell’s one complaint about the tool was the cost, but with this deal? No notes. —Boutayna Chokrane
This old-school straightener is like the Honda Accord of hair tools. It’s not sexy and will probably embarrass the teens in your house, but it’s been around for years, it will continue to be around for years, and it will get you from point A to point B reliably and with a minimum of fuss. When every other brand of hair straightener has either moved on or fizzled out, Chi will still be there, and now it can be yours for $50. —Kat Merck

The Oral-B Pro 1000 is my favorite toothbrush from the company, but at $60, the iO Series 3 is worth considering. The 14-day battery life surpasses that of the Pro 1000, and the motor is quieter and feels gentler on sensitive gums. Plus, the sleek finish looks way more modern on my counter. Just note that the iO heads aren’t compatible with other Oral-B brushes. —Boutayna Chokrane
If you want something more advanced than the trusty 4100, the time to snag a Philips Sonicare ExpertClean 7500 is now. It’s discontinued for reasons unknown, but customer reviews are overall positive, and it’s still available on Amazon for half the original price. With four modes, three intensity settings, and a built-in pressure sensor to prevent overbrushing, it’s practically an on-call dental hygienist. Grab it before it vanishes for good. —Boutayna Chokrane
We’ve dubbed the Bio Ionic Long Barrel Styler the best curling iron for (wait for it) long hair. The 8-inch ceramic barrel wraps large sections quickly and tames frizz while you style. It heats up to 430 degrees Fahrenheit, and the sculpted cool-touch grip makes styling feel ergonomic. Plus, it’s dual voltage, so you can pack it for international travels. —Boutayna Chokrane

I’ve tested numerous multi-stylers, including the Dyson Airwrap, and the Shark SpeedStyle Pro Flex delivers similar results without the hefty price tag. It’s lightweight, weighing just over 1.5 pounds, and folds up well for travel, coming with four attachments. Shark’s Scalp Shield technology, which regulates the temperature to ensure it’s never hotter than 230 degrees Fahrenheit, is ideal for sensitive scalps. At $199, it’s easily one of the best Prime Day hair tool deals out there. —Boutayna Chokrane
I test heat protectant sprays almost daily and have seen many that claim to cut drying time. Spoiler alert: most don’t. This Kristin Ess spray, however, actually does noticeably reduce drying time, and cuts frizz as well as heat protectants three times the price. Speaking of this brand, if you’re in the market for a hair straightener, Kristin Ess makes a great one as well, though it doesn’t appear to be on sale this Prime Day. —Kat Merck
I’ve lost count of how many tiny pink tubs of this I’ve gone through. It’s technically an overnight mask, but I slather it on all day without a hint of shame. The formula is buttery, thanks to murumuru, shea, and coconut butters, and the flavors are more Sephora-coded than natural (hi, Gummy Bear and Peach Iced Tea). Sensitive lips might protest the added fragrances, but for the rest, it’s fabulous—plus paraben-free, phthalate-free, and sulfate-free. —Boutayna Chokrane
This is the best vibrator for stimulating initial arousal. It’s a flexible labia vibe that delivers sensation to the entire vulva rather than just the clitoris. There are four motors to increase arousal and lubrication to the entire region, and there’s even an app for hands-free action. —Louryn Strampe
You don’t need to believe all of the wild health hype from shower filter makers. But here’s what this Canopy will actually do: It’s one of the minority of shower filters that actually removes chlorine compounds down to undetectable levels. (Yes, I tested.) This means no chlorine drying out your skin, or removing hair dye. It’s also a nice-looking showerhead, on sale for nearly 30 percent off. —Matthew Korfhage

People ask me what fitness tracker to get all the time. Given their requirements, I have told people more often than not to just get the new Oura Ring 4. I wear mine almost every day; it’s the tracker I use to check other fitness trackers. The battery life is longer than a wrist wearable and Oura frequently issues meaningful, interesting software updates. This is the first time it’s gone on sale and if you’ve been thinking about it, you should get it. —Adrienne So
I personally persuaded many parents to buy the Fitbit Ace for their kids. The watch incentivizes kids to charge and wear their smartwatch with a gaming platform called Fitbit Arcade, and includes data in the very reasonable $10/month subscription plan. You can check your kids’ location and you can send each other texts (or in my son’s case, just a bunch of poop emojis).—Adrienne So

It’s been a few years since the Sense 2 came out; nevertheless, it’s still the Fitbit that’s best for serious health tracking and the one that was probably meant as a competitor to the Apple Watch. Like the Apple Watch, it has an ECG; it also has a sensor that monitors your stress to remind you to calm down on the spot. —Adrienne So
The Instinct is one of Garmin’s most popular lines because it offers full backcountry functionality for a cheaper price than the high-end Fenix line, with better battery life and a fun, chunky, retro aesthetic. The Instinct got updated this year, but Garmin’s watches age very well and I like how tiny and slim this particular version is. —Adrienne So
Amazfit’s trackers have become so much more attractive and accurate over the past few years, and the Amazfit Balance looks pretty much like a Galaxy Watch6. Since I wrote my review, Amazfit has updated its privacy policy and made it actually available; the company has also made it more clear that its many subscription services are optional. —Adrienne So

The Pixel Watch 3 is my favorite Android smartwatch right now, though a successor will likely arrive in a few months. It’s gorgeous, and will work with any Android phone, There are two sizes to choose from, and the 45-mm variant is more worth your time largely because it delivers better battery life. You can eke out a little more than a day with it, all while meticulously tracking your health—even a loss of pulse event, which is something no other smartwatch can do. —Julian Chokkattu
Samsung’s flagship smartwatch for half the price? This one’s a no-brainer if you’re in Samsung’s ecosystem and you don’t mind the large size of the company’s Galaxy Watch Ultra. The dual-band GPS is accurate, and the health and activity monitoring features are precise, plus the battery lasts a little more than two days. It has a titanium case and is rated to 10 ATM/IP68, so you don’t have to baby the thing. —Julian Chokkattu
When I started playing pickleball and was ready to upgrade from a cheap set of paddles to something more versatile, the SLK Evo Power XL 2.0 is what I bought for myself. It has a fiberglass face instead of the carbon faces more serious players use, but it is well-balanced with a comfy grip and you can’t beat this Prime Day price, which is half what I paid. —Martin Cizmar

Camping water, and outdoor water, is often gross water—sitting too long in the cooler with pine needles for some reason, running free in the outdoors but maybe unsafe, or pulled from spigots of unknown plumbing. This Lifestraw is a WIRED favorite. It makes water safer, and makes it taste better—and will purify up to a thousand gallons. It’s half off. Buy two. —Matthew Korfhage
The Sawyer Squeeze is our top pick water filter for ultralight hikers and backpackers. It’ll filter down to 0.1 microns (which gets rid of E. coli, salmonella, giardia, cryptosporidium, and other common problems) and weighs just 3 ounces. It will connect to any 28-mm diameter bottle (your basic 20-ounce Coke bottle, for example), and it can be used as a drip filter as well. —Scott Gilbertson
This deal is limited to a single color: “Key Lime,” but so long as that’s good with you, this is a great price. It’s a good size for strapping to a bike rack. There’s handle on top and a shoulder strap, which provide plenty of points to carabiner a pair of flip-flops or whatever else you’re carrying.—Scott Gilbertson
A Yeti hard-sided cooler is the best cooler around.Yeti reinvented the cooler, and we thank them for it. This roto-molded tank has 3-inch-thick insulated walls, and in our testing it kept ice frozen for six days in blazing 90-degree-Fahrenehit heat. I managed to get five days out of it in the insane humidity of a Florida spring. Note that this deal is only on the one, wine-colored Tundra. —Scott Gilbertson

The Weber Jumbo Joe is my favorite portable grill. It’s pretty much Weber’s trademark 18-inch kettle grill with the legs removed. It’s big enough (18.5 inches in diameter) to smoke two racks of ribs on the go, but still small enough to bring with you. Just like Weber’s full size kettles, there are tons of accessories available for every type of cooking, from pizza ovens to dual-temp setups. —Scott Gilbertson
Do you really need a satellite communicator? I’ve never used one, but if I were going to, this is the one I’d use. It’s small, light (3.5 ounces), and that battery lasts a long time. It connects to the Iridium satellite network, so you can send messages and check in with loved ones from just about anywhere. There are also extra features like waypoints and interval tracking (though these do burn through battery life), and it integrates well with compatible Garmin watches. —Scott Gilbertson

The DJI Action 4 camera (8/10, WIRED Recommends) was a fantastic action camera. The newer DJI Action 5 trumps it in a number of ways, but if you’re on a budget, this is still a great choice and it integrates well into the DJI ecosystem. The magnetic mounting system remains the best we’ve tried, the menu system makes switching between modes a snap, and the resulting photos and video are great. —Scott Gilbertson
The Ace Pro is a great way to film yourself, thank to the flip of screen (unique among action cameras). This one has been replaced by the Ace Pro 2 (8/10, WIRED Recommends), but the original is a great deal at this price. It’s capable of excellent videos, has good battery life, and a great magnetic mounting system. —Scott Gilbertson
The Chirp RPM Mini is a handheld massager that combines rolling and percussive therapy. It’s like an electric rolling pin for your entire body, featuring three speed settings and a multi-grip handle. This cordless device has six free-spinning massage heads, 24 massage nodes, and nonabrasive rollers that won’t pinch your skin. It’s gentler on my smaller muscle groups compared to percussive guns. The battery life is impressive, lasting up to four hours on a single charge. It’s TSA-approved for carry-on and comes with a portable case. —Boutayna Chokrane

My top pick on our guide to the best flashlights, the Arkfield Pro has plenty of power (a claimed 1300 lumens) in its compact square body form. However, what I love about it are the three light sources (standard, UV, and a green laser beam for spotting), the intuitive controls that have never gotten triggered in my pocket, and the magnetic charging system. —Martin Cizmar
The Igloo Playmate is a mainstay on our buy-it-for life guide, and I have proof it’s true. My family literally has a Playmate cooler older than I am. They still use it. The hinge is indestructible. The shape is iconic. It opens easily with the push of a button, and is the perfect size for a few brews at the park, a lake, or your mom’s house. Anyway, it’s cheap today. Might as well change your life. —Matthew Korfhage
As we explain in our guide to the Best Bug Sprays, picaridin is a chemical that has been shown to be just as effective as DEET but without being oily, smelling terrible, or damaging plastic. This Ranger Ready spray provides thorough coverage and it also comes in scented versions, like Night Sky or Ranger Orange. —Adrienne So

The Nalgene is the OG trendy water bottle as far as I know—and I’m 44, so if there was a trendy water bottle before this, it was likely made from animal skin. This Tritan bottle has the brand’s classic silhouette but uses updated BPA-free materials instead of old-school Lexan. —Martin Cizmar
Not only is this affordable little guy a top pick on Reddit, it’s also our top pick for the Best Walking Pads. It feels comfortable underfoot, has a good weight capacity, and most importantly, is easy to assemble and syncs with the companion app (this is a more difficult ask than you might think). —Adrienne So
Handheld fans: So hot right now. Seriously, though, in the past few years they’ve popped up everywhere, and for good reason, as they’re a great way to cool off discreetly anywhere you need to. Some of them—like this one!—even double as a flashlight and portable power bank. I also like this Jisulife model because it folds down small enough to fit in a pocket, which makes it perfect for hikes, kids at camp … the possibilities are endless. —Kat Merck
This is one of the coolest-looking smart bird feeders I’ve tested. It’s meant to evoke a weaver bird’s nest, and the oversized perch is molded to look like little twigs. It comes with a solar panel for charging, but it does require an additional subscription ($37 a year) to access the 2K video, it only runs on 2.4 GHz networks, and the app is pretty rudimentary. Still, this is the best price I’ve seen for this unique-looking smart feeder. —Kat Merck
Anyone who’s read my guide to the Best Smart Bird Feeders knows I recommend the 5-7-9 siting rule for keeping squirrels away—5 feet off the ground, 7 feet away from structures, 9 feet below anything overhanging. The best way to achieve this is by attaching your feeder to a pole with a baffle. This is the exact pole I use—it’s easy to set up and it’s got spikes on the bottom to secure it in even the hardest, driest soil. —Kat Merck
Need a way to get around town quickly? The E2 Pro is a nice entry-level scooter that cruises at 15 miles per hour, and its 41-pound weight is manageable. Don’t expect a ton of range; I’m 6’4” and 250 pounds and got around 10 miles on it, though most people should be able to eke out more than that. There are turn signals, making it safer when you need to make turns at intersections, and it does an OK job on small slopes. —Julian Chokkattu
I recently dropped this scooter lower on my list after testing the newer Max G3, but that’s only because the Max G3 outpaces it in a few ways and costs nearly the same. But at this discounted price, the ZT3 Pro is a great buy. I got 16 miles of range, and you’ll probably get much more than that if you’re shorter than 6’4”. It folds up easily, and the 11-inch tube tires handle bumps on the road well. The 66-pound weight isn’t great, but you can take advantage of some security features in Segway’s app for a little peace of mind. —Julian Chokkattu

When I click on this link, Amazon informs me that I bought variations of this shirt several times. I buy this shirt in batches for my husband. The cotton fabric is a hefty 6.1-ounce weight, with triple-stitched shoulders and double-stitched hemlines and sleeves. They’re overbuilt, and they age beautifully; the pigment-dying process gives them a faded, vintage look right out of the packaging. —Adrienne So
True Classic sits atop our UK-based editorial team’s guide to the best men’s T-shirts that claim to be the best men’s T-shirt, in which they enlisted a Savile Row tailor for testing. It’s designed for dad bods, and a publicist for the brand accurately pegged me as an appropriate tester. The cut is a little aggressive for my taste (I stand with Armani White), but it has lots of fans, and this deal is a chance to stock up. —Martin Cizmar

I tested almost 20 sets of packing cubes for our guide to the Best Packing Cubes, and I can definitively say these are the highest-quality packing cubes you can buy for the price. They’re sturdy, with excellent compression and handles, and there’s even a little slot where you can put a paper label for organization. I like the black ones, but they come in a ton of colors if that’s more your style. —Kat Merck
It only takes one mishap to turn yourself into a full jump-starter convert. Why were we ever OK waiting three hours in a dead car for some dude in jean shorts to just… pull one of these $100 jumpstarters out of his trunk? Put one in your trunk. This Noco saved former WIRED reviewer Eric Ravenscraft on a road trip. A similar device got me out of a jam in Delaware. Don’t get stuck in Delaware: Buy this on sale. —Matthew Korfhage

This weird little contraption of a travel pillow is actually great (if you can get past the looks). Part scarf, part pillow, the fleece is nice and soft and warm while the internal brace gives you a place to rest your head. And you can actually rest it without fear of it tipping forward or waking up with an ache in your neck. Want to sleep in the middle seat? This is how you do it.—Louryn Strampe
This is a relatively new product from neoprene-makeup-bag specialist Kusshi—a carrying case just for hair tools that’s heat-resistant up to 380 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the first time I’ve ever seen it on sale. It’s featured in our guide to the Best Toiletry Bags, and I love it for storing and carrying multi-tools like the Shark FlexFusion (also on sale) and all its attachments. Just be sure to let it off-gas in a ventilated area for a few days. —Kat Merck
DJI’s debut power station puts out 2,200 watts (2,600 watts surge), has two USB-C PD 3.1 ports (140 watts), and boasts DJI’s proprietary SDC ports. It charges small gadgets, appliances, or tools, and it’s a great choice for folks with DJI drones, as it fast-charges most models. It gets noisy with a lot of gadgets charging, and cable and bag accessories cost extra, but it still claims a place in our best portable power stations guide. —Simon Hill

Star Wars Outlaws is a hoot. The game has its flaws, like moments of unintuitive gameplay and a few glitches, but if you’re at all interested in deeper Star Wars lore, this is a very fun ride. We spent a few months diving in, and by the time you fix up your speeder and find yourself zipping across the landscape or piloting to new planets, you’ll be hooked. Especially at this price, it’s well worth your time. —Ryan Waniata
If you’re a murder mystery fan in any capacity, you’ll probably love Chronicles of Crime. It’s delightfully fun to figure out, using your phone to scan cards, interview suspects, and even spot clues. It’s a miracle it works as well as it does given just how dead-simple it plays. I wouldn’t recommend it for more than two, but it makes for the perfect solo or couples activity on a night in. —Luke Larsen
The tough, translucent Magna-Tiles click together easily to form two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects. Kids love building houses, castles, vehicles, and whatever else occurs to them with these triangular and square magnetic tiles. We love them so much that they made our best STEM toys guide. The classic set is a great start, but be warned: There are themed sets, and you will end up buying more! —Simon Hill

One of the best family board games for young kids, Labyrinth is easy to grasp. The game board is a maze, and you must collect treasures dictated by the cards you are dealt. Designed by a German psychologist, the fun comes from changing the maze by pushing a tile onto the board, which displaces another each turn. You can carve a route for yourself, but also think about how to block your opponents
There’s no board game quite like Root. It’s the kind of game that instantly grabs you, even if it takes a few games to truly grasp its depth. Root takes that concept of player asymmetry to another level, letting each player fight for dominion of the woodland wilderness with completely different actions and mechanisms. Maybe it’s the cutesy artwork and playful components, but Root is one of the games that’s somehow as accessible as it is complex. —Luke Larsen
