117 Prime Day Deals on Gear We’ve Tested and Would Spend Our Own Money On

One of the best budget wireless chargers is even more affordable thanks to Prime Day. You can buy fancier, faster wireless chargers, but if you just want a simple option that’ll top off your phone, this is worth checking out. It’s also a good option for placing around your home, like in the kitchen or living room. It can deliver up to 10 watts, though you’ll need to supply your own wall adapter. —Louryn Strampe

Want something that can fast charge your phone, juice up your tablet, and even refill your laptop? This generous 25,000-mAh capacity can do it all, but stops shy of the carry-on air travel limit. The maximum output is 165 watts for two devices, but 100 watts for a single device. It has lovely rounded edges, a retractable, flat, 2.3-foot USB-C cable on the top, and a snazzy, durable, braided 1-foot USB-C cable that doubles as a carry loop. —Simon Hill

There's no cheap laptop quite like this one. Unlike so many Windows laptops around $500, the OmniBook 3 has excellent performance and battery life. And while the touchpad isn't the best, the specs alone make it the very best cheap laptop you can buy. —Luke Larsen

You can't expect a laptop under $300 to blow you away. But for what it is, the Asus Chromebook CX15 is the best laptop you can get around this price. The screen and touchpad are lacking, but it has a modern design and enough performance for a student or basic computer. —Luke Larsen

A large, expensive monitor deserves a monitor arm that you can trust. That’s exactly what the WALI Monitor Arm is. The former WIRED contributor who swore by it and its ability to comfortably hoist up his massive, 42-inch gaming monitor. This is as low a price as I’ve seen this beefy monitor arm drop to, so pick it up while it’s cheap. —Luke Larsen

This is far from your average gaming mouse. It emphasizes lightness and performance above all, designed to give you a competitive edge over your foes. If you’ve never played with a mouse this light, you’ll immediately feel the difference. There are tradeoffs in connectivity (such as the lack of Bluetooth), but at this sale price, it’s hard to complain. —Luke Larsen

Another small portable power station ideal for weekend road trips in the RV or camping off-grid, the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 has a fold-out handle and packs a decent 1,070 watt-hours of power. This will keep your portable gadgets and small appliances running, and it’s impressively compact at just under 24 pounds. I love the larger Explorer 1500 Ultra, but this is a solid alternative and easier to handle if you don’t need quite as much power. —Simon Hill

The Nimble Champ is one of the best power banks. I appreciate the 90 percent certified recycled plastic construction and fully biodegradable packaging. It’s compact, with an eye-catching speckled design and a handy carry loop. This 10,000 mAh capacity portable charger has two USB-C ports and can charge at up to 20 watts. If you need less power, the smaller capacity models are also on sale. You get a 3.3-foot USB-C to USB-C cable in the box. —Simon Hill

Kindles aren’t the only e-readers on sale. While I prefer the color version of the Kobo Clara, the black-and-white Kobo Clara BW is currently on sale on Kobo’s website. It’s a small size like the basic Kindle, but comes with a warm front light that it doesn’t have. Kobo recently raised its prices, so this sale brings it closer to its original price tag. —Nena Farrell

If you’re looking for perhaps the best smart glasses for a virtual display, Xreal’s One Pro creates a screen up to 171 inches at 1080p resolution with a 120-Hz refresh rate, but where the One Pro really shines is its sound quality. The built-in Bose stereo speakers are great, and these smart glasses work well as a virtual theater. Xreal’s X1 chip allows for 3 DoF, so you can pin the screen without an accessory or app. —Simon Hill

This smart set-top box enables your older loved one to make and take video calls on their TV screen. Caregivers can check in with them and solve any technical issues they are having from afar when they can’t be there in person. It’s a smart age-tech device that also enables you to share family photos and set reminders for medication and appointments. Just bear in mind that it requires a subscription, from $29 per month or $260 per year. —Simon Hill

If you have to choose a single Kindle e-reader, the Kindle Paperwhite is the way to go. The latest generation came out in late 2024, and it’s got just about everything you’d want in an e-reader: an auto-adjusting warm light, three months of battery life, snappy performance, integration with Overdrive. It doesn’t have a color screen, but the Colorsoft is also on sale if you’re looking for a more colorful option. —Nena Farrell

Amazon’s color e-reader comes with a hefty price tag for only a color screen upgrade compared to getting a Kindle Paperwhite. But if you’re itching for a color version of a Kindle, the Kindle Colorsoft is on sale for Amazon Prime Day. It has a nice discount that makes it more competitively priced than the Kobo Libra Colour. It also has everything I like about a Kindle Paperwhite, too, like a warm front light. —Nena Farrell

It’s hard for me to argue that a Kindle Colorsoft is worth spending $100 more than a Kindle Paperwhite when the only difference is a color screen.The most likely reader for colorful pages would actually be the Kids. Not only does the Kindle Colorsoft Kids come with a color screen, it has a fun cover and a year of Amazon Kids+ content. Plus, the biggest discount happening on a Kindle device. —Nena Farrell

For kids who love to read, there’s a Kindle made with them in mind. Amazon’s Kindle Kids takes a Kindle and gives it a few kiddo-focused bonuses: kid-focused content and protection. Each Kindle Kids includes six months of Kids+, a subscription full of books designed for kids aged 3 to 12, giving plenty of reading options right away. —Nena Farrell

This is the lowest price the Echo Dot Max has had after its launch late last year. It takes the small form factor of the Echo Dot and packs in fantastic sound quality, a built-in smart home hub, and an updated look. I’ve found the level of room-filling music impressive for its compact size, but it is a bummer it’s twice as much as past Echo Dot models. Prime Day is a good time to shop with the current discount. —Nena Farrell

The best Echo is an affordable Echo. Prime Day is one of the best times to buy one of Amazon’s smart speakers, and while the fifth-generation Echo has been around for a while now, it’s a great, affordable device with impressive sound for its small size. It’s not as loud as the new Echo Dot Max, but it’s half the price on a regular day, and is even cheaper right now. —Nena Farrell

It’s not flashy. It’s not surprising. It does exactly what you want it to. That’s the base iPad to a tee. This is the latest model, having been updated in 2025 to an A16 chip and 6 GB of RAM. But really, this is the iPad people buy for playing games, reading books, taking on airplanes, and sharing with their kids. If that’s you, there’s nothing out there quite like it. —Luke Larsen

The best power banks are great for keeping your smartphone charged, but what about your Apple Watch? This handy 10,000-mAh battery from Anker has a pop-up Apple Watch charger that delivers 5 watts and supports Nightstand mode. There’s also a built-in USB-C cable and a USB-C port that can put out up to 30 watts to charge your other gadgets. It comes in various colors and has a subtle display to show the remaining battery. —Simon Hill

A top pick in our roundup of the Best iPhone 16 Cases, this Beats option is sort of funny because it’s better than Apple’s official cases. And even though Beats is owned by Apple, you would think the inverse scenario would be true. Anyway! The case has a soft microfiber lining, a very functional Camera Control button, and a nice color selection. —Louryn Strampe

This is the very best iPhone 17 case we’ve tried. It has built-in magnets and a rugged design, with a grippy and soft finish that’s easy to hold thanks to its unique texture. The Camera Control button is covered with glass, so you can still make precise adjustments with your fingertip. The case also completely covers the Camera Plateau, so your entire phone will be protected from scratches. —Louryn Strampe

Mous phone cases are expensive, but they’re also very high-quality. This is our second favorite in our guide to the Best iPhone 17 Cases. There are several designs to choose from with interesting textures like fabric and wood, and the buttons are nice and snappy. The whole case lineup is protective, durable, and unique-looking in a sea of plastic, patterned sameness. —Louryn Strampe

After buying, losing, washing, or having them just straight up die on me, I was at my wits’ end last summer when my fourth—yes fourth—pair of Apple AirPods mysteriously stopped working one day. I asked my fellow WIRED Reviews team colleagues which non-Apple earbuds they’d recommend. I wanted something cheap that sounded good and was relatively cheap. The A/V guys raved about the affordable, quality-audio Soundpeats, and I’ve been hooked ever since. You basically can’t get a better pair of buds for under $100. —Molly Higgins

These perfectly sized speakers bring a rich, clear sound to your desktop. Available in black or white with angled stands, these are my current pick of the best computer speakers for $200, the M60 speakers are already a bargain. While they offer decent bass, it can get a bit muddy, and the touch controls are slightly annoying, but that’s it for weaknesses. Connectivity includes USB-C (best for most folks), 3.5 mm, or Bluetooth 5.3. —Simon Hill

One of my husband's favorite devices I test are digital photo frames, and Aura is the easy favorite. The frames look beautiful, especially the mat frame style ones like the Carver Mat. The Carver Mat is a good size at 10.1 inches to fit in most places you might want a photo frame, and Aura makes it incredibly easy to add photos with its intuitive app and unlimited photo storage. It's on sale, and it's a great device for your home or to gift to a family member. —Nena Farrell

This sleek smart lock from Aqara rose to the top of my Best Smart Locks guide thanks to its sleek look, easy installation, and great price point. The Aqara U50 has several entry styles, with the most obvious being the built-in keypad, and it’s the lock I find myself grabbing when other locks don’t work on my door. You will need an Aqara hub to connect it to the internet, but you can also set up the key codes and settings while you’re within Bluetooth range and use it without Bluetooth after that. The lock doesn’t need Wi-Fi to remember to lock itself after 10 minutes or to know its premade codes. —Nena Farrell

Wish your front door could see you coming? The Lockly Visage Zero Series Smart Lock has you covered. It uses infrared sensors to recognize your face (without capturing any footage like a security camera or similar device would) and unlock your door as you walk up to it. It also has a variety of other ways to enter, including fingerprints, codes, and your usual manual key. It’s a more expensive smart lock, but has a nice discount for Amazon Prime Day. —Nena Farrell

This versatile pan-and-tilt camera is ideal if you want a hands-off device. The built-in solar panel keeps the battery topped off. The camera features a dual-lens system with a main lens that boasts a 135-degree field of view and records sharp video, paired with a telephoto lens that offers 3x zoom in the center of the frame (it goes up to 8x hybrid zoom). There’s also 8 GB of storage built in to keep things local. —Simon Hill

The best panning camera for indoors is Aqara’s G350. This is a dual-lens camera with a 4K lens and a 2.5K telephoto lens for zooming in on subjects. The onboard AI works locally to automatically track people and pets, and you can record locally, too, by inserting a microSD card. The G350 also doubles as a smart home hub, with Matter, Thread, and Zigbee support, and compatibility with Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings, and IFTTT. —Simon Hill

It’s fresh fruit season. Which is to say, juicing season. After three years on the market, the Nama J2 remains the best juicer WIRED has tested, among slow juicers that let you load up a full hopper full of fruit and veg, and then let the juicer do its work. It’s easy to use, it looks good, and the juice yield is extravagantly good, with minimal froth. The 15-year warranty means you can expect to keep it a while. —Matthew Korfhage

The Ninja Crispi (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is now the only way I do leftovers, including (or especially) pizza. The Crispi is an ingenious and portable update on the air fryer: a heating element and fan that you place atop a borosilicate glass cooking container. Put wet ingredients on the bottom, and proteins or veggies on the top of the cookplate. Shazam! Reheated meals that aren’t limp and soggy. Eat your heart out, microwave. Anyway, it’s $50 off. —Matthew Korfhage

Somewhere along the way, blenders got personal—easy to clean up and stash in the cupboard, and geared to a morning greeted with a smoothie or a protein shake. Among the new school of personal blenders whose blending jugs can double as sippie cups, this 1200-watt Nutribullet is the one that remains just as powerful as a classic blender for salsas, pestos, and sauces. Whenever it’s on sale for $100, it’s the best blender you can get for $100. —Matthew Korfhage

Like many things Cuisinart, this little stainless steel toaster oven and air fryer is old-school. The dials are analog. The functions are few. It’ll bake. It’ll convect. But more than any other combo air fryer oven I know, it’ll crisp the bejeesus out of some wings or french fries. And the heat is both accurate and admirably even. It’s petite, and it doesn’t cost much. Just note the interior can be hard to get clean if you don’t do it regularly. —Matthew Korfhage

This is the lowest price I’ve seen on the update to Camojojo’s first Hibird feeder, which happens to produce the highest-resolution photos of any smart feeder I’ve tested: 32 MP with 4K HD video. The app is not as developed as Birdfy's or Birdbuddy's, but it's still navigable, with options to change video length or view in slo-mo. Note that without a subscription, cloud storage is capped, but you’ll still get video and it runs on both 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi. —Kat Merck

This was one of the first Amazon feeders I tested for my guide to the Best Smart Bird Feeders. Like most of its brethren, it requires a subscription (back when I tested it, this was $35/year through the VicoHome app) to capture video and identify birds, the latter of which it doesn’t do particularly well. But the solar panel did a great job staying charged, and I had no connection issues (runs on 2.4 GHz only) during the four weeks it was in my yard. —Kat Merck

New this year, Shark’s “personal cooling system” comes in seven colors and sports three attachments: a regular fan, a misting fan, and a cryo-inspired cold plate you can press to your skin. All of which must be used separately. As I point out in my guide to the Best Fans, it’s too bulky to fit in a pocket, and I’m not sure why it costs $150, but it sure is fun to use. —Kat Merck

If the Levoit Vital 200S-P Air Purifier has a million fans, then I'm one of them. If it has one fan, then I'm that one. If it has no fans, that means I'm dead. This air purifier is a super-affordable price for its purification power, ease of use, and handy auto-settings and connected app. The top is a touchscreen with controls for sleep mode, fan speed, and more, and the top-mounted circular light glows in different colors to indicate air quality. —Molly Higgins

This is probably the best air purifier you can buy for less than $200. It can clean a 361-square-foot room by exchanging the air 4.8 times per hour. It has an on/off button for the ionizer, a timer, and eco mode that turns off the fan if it detects no air pollution for 30 minutes. Plus, it has a built-in air quality light and air sensor that enable the machine to automatically adjust its fan speed in response to pollutants for hands-free use. —Molly Higgins

This handy little vacuum is one of my favorite solutions for vacuuming a car. Sure, you could just use a cordless vacuum, but the Black+Decker Dustbuster is designed to carry the bulk of it in one hand and then use the other hand to take the hose and vacuum, making it a more comfortable vacuuming experience. It has a 4-foot-long hose that I like for vacuuming deep trunks, and comes with a charging stand that holds its accessories. —Nena Farrell

If you’re looking for a great, affordable robot vacuum, this is the one to scoop up, especially with a sale underway. The Eufy Omni C28 does well with hard floors, carpets, and rugs, though you’ll want to make sure your cords are cleared away for this vacuum. It can also learn multiple maps, but it does have a shorter battery life, so I’d let it recharge before setting it loose on a second floor. —Nena Farrell

This li’l guy went viral on TikTok a few years ago, and I still think it’s an excellent upholstery or carpet cleaner for its regular low price point. It can suck up spills and stains that have been absorbed in upholstered furniture to leave it looking brand-new. It's super useful to have around to maintain your furniture and rugs’ cleanliness, and you can tuck it away in a closet when done. At less than $100, it’s a worthy investment. —Molly Higgins

This handheld vacuum is great for pet hair, but also really effective at cleaning all kinds of household messes, from crumbs to dirt. It has powerful suction with two cyclonic airstreams, and a motorized self-cleaning power brush sucks the hair back so it doesn't get wrapped around the brush. It also has surface and crevice attachments to tackle pet hair on a myriad of surfaces, a washable filter for easy cleanup, and a battery that lasts about a week. —Molly Higgins

If you want a Dyson but don’t want to spend too much, the Dyson Car+Boat is a great, affordable way to sneak into the Dyson ecosystem. It’s a handheld vacuum only, but it’s a great option if you want something powerful to vacuum your stairs, cars, and other vehicles like boats. It’s much more powerful than your usual hand vacuum and has a better battery life by a long shot. —Nena Farrell

I tested this vacuum late last year for my guide to vacuums for pet hair, and while I usually detest corded vacuums, the power of this vacuum impressed. It has an easily detachable pod and hose with a crevice tool, and a super-powerful motorized, rotating upholstery tool. I live in a small apartment with three humans and two furry cats, and I was shocked by how well this sucked up deeply embedded fur, dust, and dirt from my high-pile carpet. —Molly Higgins

Dyson has new cordless models out this year, bumping this one off the top of the line. But that explains why it has such a good deal going. It’s fantastic for pet owners, with powerful suction to lift hair and dander deep in your carpets and HEPA filtration. There are also 70 minutes of battery, and it has two vacuum heads and a hair screw tool. —Nena Farrell

Another great option for a self-emptying vacuum is the Tineco Pure ONE Station 5. It has a green headlight that reminds me of a Dyson, helping spot debris, and overall it does a great job on hard floors, carpets, and rugs. It’s usually a little more expensive than a Shark, but right now it’s cheaper than the on-sale, self-emptying bin-free PowerDetect. —Nena Farrell

Lord, this is a nice price on this De’Longhi. This digital, touchscreen semi-automatic espresso maker is a sophisticated device designed to keep true portafilter espresso while making things very easy on you. It’s intuitive. It offers bean assist on its built-in grinder. The steam wand is excellent, and has temperature sensing. It won’t satisfy espresso purists–there’s less easy customization and no visible pressure gauge. But if you make Italian-style medium or dark shots, this will serve you well. —Matthew Korfhage

Once or twice a year, the world’s most popular espresso maker (probably) goes on a ridiculously good sale. Every time, the deal still feels ridiculous. At $500, you won’t find a semiautomatic espresso machine with a built-in grinder that’s better or more reliable or more road-tested than this one. The pressure is consistent. The steam wand froths milk like a champ. My WIRED colleague Julian Chokkattu has been using his machine for eight years now. It’s still happily brewing. —Matthew Korfhage

This is the first espresso machine from Ninja. And this semiautomatic machine with a built-in grinder still impresses me as Ninja’s first entrant out of the gate. This Luxe Premier hasn’t been as road-tested as Breville’s Barista Express, its direct competitor espresso machine that’s on sale for about the same price right now. But if what you want is the best automatic milk frothing in the game, look no further. This is it. —Matthew Korfhage

The De'Longhi Rivelia (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is my favorite bean-to-cup machine out there. It’s an all-in-one touchscreen device that lets you dump a half-bag of beans into a hopper and press a button. It’ll grind, brew, then froth up milk for a cappuccino, amid 18 options on hot and cold milk drinks. It’s quiet, it’s easy, it’s compact, it customizes drinks well, and lets you swap out bean hoppers for decaf in the afternoon. This is a good deal on it. —Matthew Korfhage

The Philips Sonicare 4100 is my favorite midrange electric toothbrush, offering a gentler sonic option compared to oscillating toothbrushes. Its slimmer brush head is perfect for small mouths. The toothbrush features a pressure sensor that reduces vibrations if you brush too hard, a two-minute auto-shut-off function, and two intensity settings—low and high. A single charge lasts about two weeks, and it includes BrushSync technology that tracks your brushing time and reminds you when it’s time to replace the brush head. —Boutayna Chokrane

Most filtered showerheads are designed to solve a simple problem. The chlorine in your water, which keeps you safe from bacteria, is bad for your hair and skin. Canopy is one of the minority of shower filters I’ve tested that will actually remove nearly all chlorine and chlorine compounds from your water. You’ll have to replace the filter once every three months or so—and so this sale price for Prime Day is a little like getting an extra filter for free. —Matthew Korfhage

The TheraFace Depuffing Wand is an ice roller that doesn’t melt and is one of my favorite travel gadgets—it’s TSA-friendly. It offers both hot and cold therapy to help reduce puffiness, improve circulation, and enhance the absorption of skincare products. The curved precision tip conforms to the contours of your face, and it comes with three preset temperature levels that remain consistent throughout a six-minute session. An indicator light flashes at three minutes to remind you to switch sides. —Boutayna Chokrane

The Urevo CyberPad is our favorite walking pad. It offers a 14-percent incline, one of the highest we’ve tested. WIRED contributor Kristin Canning highlights its solid feel underfoot and a comfortable belt. It’s controllable via a remote and its app. The speed tops out at 4 mph, and the incline stops at level nine, which is either a 9- or 14-percent incline depending on how you position it. Not to mention, it was painless to set up. —Boutayna Chokrane

The AirLight Pro is the fastest hair dryer I’ve tested and our top choice for professionals. It utilizes near-infrared light, airflow, and controlled heat to dry hair while preserving its moisture. With a rated lifespan of 10 years under professional use (which equates to two hours of daily use), it’s designed to be repairable. It features filter-cleaning alerts and an auto-shutoff function for added caution. The 11.5-foot cord is also longer than that of any Dyson and most competitors. —Boutayna Chokrane

The Theragun Relief is the most affordable Theragun without compromising on performance. It offers similar power with three speed settings. It also comes with three attachments: standard ball, dampener, and thumb. While it doesn’t have an LCD screen or app connectivity for device control, it’s a simple one-button operation, and you can still access guided routines through the app. There’s also no travel lock or storage case, but it’s also $100. —Boutayna Chokrane

The HigherDose LED Mask is one of our favorite soft red light therapy face masks. It’s designed with silicone and a comfortable three-layer strap design. The mask offers two treatment modes: 10-minute and 20-minute sessions. After six weeks of consistent use, reviewer Nena Farrell noticed improvements in her skin tone and acne recovery. Disclaimer: Some users have reported issues with flimsy wiring; HigherDose claims that these concerns are covered under its one-year warranty. —Boutayna Chokrane

I love Drybar’s blow-dry brush and multi-tool, and this version gives you all three options: oval, round, and paddle. The oval brush is my personal favorite, but WIRED reviewer Boutayna Chokrane is a big fan of the paddle brush. You can’t go wrong with buying all three in a single device. —Nena Farrell

This is one of our favorite MagSafe grips because of its built-in kickstand. The aramid fiber construction is incredibly durable, and there’s a strap to slide your finger through in the middle of the traditional metal ring. That means you’ll always be able to grip your phone comfortably, or prop it up however you want. —Louryn Strampe

While Google’s A-series phones are cheaper than other Pixels, they don’t scrimp on the latest artificial intelligence features. The Pixel 10a combines solid hardware with excellent software, helping you to make the most of your photos, ask contextual questions about whatever is onscreen, and find out what song is playing in the cafe you’re in. Improvements over the 9a are subtle (brighter screen, no camera bump, faster charging), but this is the best Android phone for most people right now. —Simon Hill

The Garmin Instinct 3 is one of Garmin's most popular watches. It offers the same multiband GPS navigation capability, stellar battery life, and ability to survive in harsh environments as the more expensive Fenix 8, but it's cheaper, lighter, and, if I may say so, looks more fun. Both the solar and non-solar versions are on sale, but we prefer the solar. —Scott Gilbertson
