Our Kitchen Appliances Editor Chiana Dickson highly recommends this Aeropress, 'The Aeropress is made from BPA-free Tritan plastic and makes delicious, rich coffee from one portable device.'
Read more in our full AeroPress Original review.
A small saving but a saving nonetheless, this Ninja blender is great for smoothies, crushed ice, and frozen drinks, with 'Auto-iQ' that does the guesswork for you. We've compared Nutribullet vs Ninja blenders and found that Ninja blenders offer power and versatility. Perfect for ice-cold beverages as we get closer to summer.
Our Style and Trends Editor Charlotte Olby adores these herb pots, 'I love anything that makes everyday moments feel a bit more joyful, and these checkerboard herb pots do exactly that. I'll be styling them on my kitchen windowsill – it's a small detail but one that brings so much personality to an otherwise empty space.'
'Made from sturdy cast iron, it’s built to last a lifetime – it just needs regular seasoning for a naturally non-stick finish. Plus, on test, Frittatas and pancakes slid out perfectly in testing,' says our Kitchen Appliances Editor Chiana Dickson.
Our Head of Solved and an expert in cleaning and organizing, Punteha van Terheyden, loves these drawer organizers. If you're fed up with messy drawers, these non-slip and easy-to-clean organizers are perfect to conquer the dreaded ‘junk’ drawer, sort out your kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom essentials. Eight colorways.
If you're looking for instant, tasty coffee, Nespresso's popular Vertuo Next coffee maker is a great choice. I use a Nespresso machine at home, and I love the quality of the coffee pods; there are plenty of flavors to choose from.
This sleek, stone diffuser is one of the best essential oil diffusers we've vetted at home, with a porcelain shell and stunning colorways.
This is Amazon's latest and most advanced Fire Stick, offering 4K streaming, faster searching, and access to live TV without cable.
Our Kitchen Appliance Editor Chiana Dickson says, 'Speedy, spacious, and free from PFAS, the Typhur is excellent. It can air fry in record time, as well as grill, toast, and bake 12-inch pizzas or entire meals for five people.'
Read more in our full Typhur Dome 2 review.
'I already own this fire pit, and it’s one of the best outdoor buys I made last year. It gives off a surprising amount of warmth for its size, and I love that it is smokeless. We use it year-round, and it instantly makes any patio setup feel more cozy,' says Charlotte Olby, our Style and Trends Editor.
Now that pollen season has arrived, a quality air purifier is the surest way to get rid of allergens in your indoor air. This is our all-time favorite – it's so powerful it can purify multiple rooms at once. I've found it reduces my asthma and allergy flares by 90%.

Now that we're spring cleaning our homes, microfiber cloths are endlessly useful around the house, for everything from dusting to cleaning our appliances. They're a great way to be more sustainable at home, and they wash well. Skip the softener to preserve absorbency.
Crowned as our best duvet insert by our sleep editor, Ottilie Blackhall, the BOLL & BRANCH insert is hypoallergenic and available in three weights, while being cool to the touch thanks to its cotton wrap. It's cruelty-free, organic and Fair-Trade Certified.

If you're looking for instant, tasty coffee, Keurig's popular K-Elite Single Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker is a great choice. Voted our best Keurig coffee maker overall, the model caters to multiple brew sizes, and we love the Iced Setting for delicious iced coffees at home.
I use smart bulbs at home to refine the ambience in the evening, and it's amazing how easily they do so. This pack of four smart bulbs from Govee can be controlled using your Alexa or Google smart home setup, and features millions of hues to choose from.
Our heads are turned anytime a Le Creuset piece goes on sale. The Signature Bread Oven is designed for the finer details of artisan bread baking, with a low-profile base with raised ridges for even browning, and a domed lid specially designed to trap and circulate steam to create a crisp crust, excellent flavor, and maximum rise.
The eufy X10 Pro Omni is one of the best robot vacuums we've tested at Homes & Gardens, now costing $100s less than similarly high-performance robots. It vacuums, mops, empties itself, and builds a detailed map of your home, doing a significant portion of the housework for you.
Read more in our full eufy X10 Pro Omni review.
Our Style and Trends Editor Charlotte Olby recommends this timeless piece: 'This chinoiserie-style ginger jar adds instant polish and a sense of vintage style to any vignette, whether it’s styled on a console, bookshelf, or coffee table. It's perfect for creating a timeless, Nancy Meyers look for less.'
In our Blink Video Doorbell review, we loved how many essential features it has, including crisp audio and great visual performance, which is impressive considering its low price.
As soon as I started using this in my own home, I knew I wouldn't be able to go back to life without it. Combining vacuuming, mopping, and stain removal into one intuitive gadget is incredible enough as it is, but the fact that it achieves this in no time at all is even more useful. It's the best vacuum-mop that we've tested, and it cost $699.99 when it was first released.

It's a smart move to buy a tower fan before it gets really warm, as prices tend to go up when there is more demand. I've used this tower fan for over a year in my own home, and I love how quietly it cools. It takes up barely any floor space and even has an 'Advanced Sleep' mode that adjusts to the temperature of the room.
Read more in my full Levoit Classic 36-Inch Tower Fan review.
'I always buy my coffee table books on Amazon as it tends to be the cheapest place to pick up design books for less. I can't wait to leaf through her images to get some inspo for my remodel,' writes Charlotte Olby, Style and Trends Editor.
A sunrise alarm clock helps you wake up naturally, simulating the rising and setting of the sun to match up to our circadian rhythms. This makes it easier to rise in the morning and helps to build sleep pressure naturally so that you can drift off at night.
The Samsung HW-Q990F is more than the best soundbar we've tested; it's the complete hi-fi experience, producing crystal-clear surround sound and immaculate depth and clarity.
Read more in my five-star Samsung HW-Q990F review.
One of our best mattress protectors on test, this Amazon bestseller is an affordable, plush way to improve your sleep and protect your mattress, so it's a great value purchase, even when it's not discounted.
It's not uncommon for air purifiers to take up too much space in a room, but Coway's best-seller, the Airmega Mighty, is compact in comparison, while also providing speedy and effective air cleansing to beat your allergies this spring and summer.
Read more in our full Coway Airmega Aim review.
Now that we're spending more time outdoors, our Style and Trends Editor Charlotte Olby recommends this beautiful rug. She says, 'An outdoor rug is the quickest way to make a patio feel like an extension of your interiors, and this design by Amber Lewis does it beautifully. The palette is soft and natural, so it grounds the space without overpowering it, and it has that relaxed, lived-in look I’m constantly trying to achieve outdoors.'
If you're looking to elevate your home with a kitchen countertop lighting trend, I highly recommend a portable, wireless lamp like this one. It's petite, chic, has three brightness settings, and should last between 10 and 16 hours on a full charge.
How Can You Tell If You've Found a Good Deal at Amazon?
Use a Price Tracking Tool
Shop like our shopping editors and use a price tracking tool, which gives you access to the price history of a particular product. That way, you can work out from context whether you're actually getting a good deal, or if you'd be better off waiting for prices to fall further in future sales.
For Amazon, I recommend CamelCamelCamel. Here's how it works: Paste the Amazon link into CamelCamelCamel's search bar, and you'll see the product's lowest recorded price, as well as its average price, and which month that price tends to fluctuate.
These figures form 'humps' on a line graph, like the back of a camel, hence the name. Sometimes, Amazon stores up the prices before a sale event, and this is a great way to catch when they're emphasizing how big the discount is.
Use Comparison Sites
This could be as easy as clicking the Google 'Shopping' tab at the top of your search engine results page. You might find that the best deal isn't on Amazon at all, but Walmart, Target, Wayfair, QVC or direct from the brand you're shopping.
Only Buy the Items You Actually Need
Throughout the year, I keep an Amazon wish list of the items and appliances I want to buy. Sometimes, I add the item to my cart before the sale begins, so that I can buy it right away when the deal drops.
If you're looking for something specific, whether it's the best non-toxic coffee makers, the best soundbars, or the best mattress toppers, read real, hands-on reviews to hone in on the product that's right for you and your home.
When the sales start, I'm strict with myself – I only let myself shop from my wish list. That way, I get the dopamine hit from bargain-hunting, but I don't fall victim to overspending.
When Is the Best Time to Get an Amazon Deal?
You can find deals at Amazon all year round, but during sale events like Prime Day, Labor Day, Black Friday, and the spring sales, you'll find the best selection and the deepest savings.
Amazon is one of the best retailers for low prices and frequent discounts, and whether it's furniture, appliances, or essentials you're shopping for, you're pretty much always guaranteed to find some savings.
FAQs
Do You Have to Be a Prime Member to Access Amazon Deals?
During Amazon's Prime Days, anything labeled as a 'Prime Day deal' is exclusive to members. Most of the deals during Prime Day are exclusive to Prime members.
Other Amazon sales, such as Black Friday and the spring sales, are generally not exclusive to Prime members, but to access the deepest discounts and the widest range of deals with fast delivery, you should sign up for Amazon Prime.
Here's a workaround if you want this access but don't want to pay for Prime all year: Sign up for the one-month free Amazon Prime trial right before you want to shop.
For that month, you'll get free one-day delivery, plus access to Amazon's Prime Video streaming service. As long as you cancel before the 30-day cut-off, you won't be charged. If you forget to cancel your payment, you'll be charged $14.99 a month.
What Time Do Amazon Prime Days Start and End?
Amazon's Prime Day sales start at 00:01 on the opening day, and finish at 23:59 on the final day, Pacific time. So, if you're on the West coast, they start at midnight, but if you're on the East coast, they begin at 3am.
Are Amazon Sales Worth It?
It might seem like over-hype, but Amazon's sales are better times to find a deal than almost all other sales events. Other than Black Friday, these sales are where you'll see the most choice of what's on offer and some of the lowest prices all year.
We've seen products from the best soundbars to the best grills discounted to around half their retail price, which is not a discount to be ignored.
When Is the Next Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon typically runs two Prime Days every year, one in July and one in October. In 2025, we had the first-ever four-day Prime Day from July 8-11, and the second event, called Prime Big Deal Days, ran from October 7-8.
It's similar to Black Friday (and occasionally, more fruitful), but where Amazon's Black Friday deals are open to everyone, you can only make the most of Amazon Prime Day deals if you're a Prime member. You can always start a 30-day free trial when Prime Day comes around and cancel it before the first payment comes out, to make the most of the deals.
Also, many other major retailers, including Walmart and Best Buy, tend to run their counter-sales around Amazon Prime Day, and you don't have to be a member to shop at those.
What is Amazon Renewed?
Amazon Renewed is a hub to find appliances and gadgets that have been refurbished and tested by qualified suppliers, offering goods for a fraction of their original price.
It's a great way to minimize e-waste, which is a growing concern worldwide. You can also find refurbished goods at Walmart Restored and Best Buy Outlet.
How Can I Prepare for an Amazon Sale?
Our tips on finding a good deal at Amazon include using comparison sites and doing your research beforehand, and you can still do this now that the event is up and running. The team at Amazon has its own dedicated suggestions on how to head into the sales.
Over at Amazon's Prime Day announcement page, you'll find some tips on how to prepare and make the most out of the massive sale event.
We also love keeping an eye on Amazon's Best Sellers list as it reflects popular items thousands of people are snapping up.
- Available on the Amazon Shopping app in the US, Rufus is a new AI assistant designed to help save time and make more informed decisions when shopping. It uses information from product listings, reviews and community Q&As to recommend products, compare options, and help with current and past orders.
- Alexa+ is Amazon's latest update to Alexa: a new personal assistant that uses generative AI to answer a whole host of queries from booking restaurant reservations to controlling your smart home. For Prime Day, it can be used to track discounts across the products or topics that you're interested in. If you have an Alexa device like the Amazon Echo Pop or Amazon Echo Dot, use it to your advantage when the sales arrive. Alexa+ is free if you're a Prime member.
- Part of the new Alexa+ suite of AI features is Interests, which is software that can personalize lists of products based on your favorite interests using prompts. You can write 'Brewing tools and gadgets for coffee lovers' to browse highly-rated goods, or go as specific as 'I want something abstract or modern made of black metal, not canvas.'
Can I Get Alerts for Amazon Deals?
Yes. Download the Amazon Shopping app at Google or Apple and subscribe to deal notifications on items on your wish list.
Amazon Lightning Deals
Amazon Lightning Deals are flash sales that pop up around major sales periods. You're less likely to find small or large appliances in the Lightning Deals section – think more along the lines of skincare, make-up, and other impulse buys.
You can make Lightning Deals work for you by stocking up on a few inexpensive items to get you over the threshold for free delivery. So, if I were buying a $35 sheet set, but I needed to spend $40 to qualify for free delivery, I could shop the Lightning Deals section to pick up a few cheap favors. Anything from your essential cleaning toolkit would be perfect.
Amazon is an enormous website, with hundreds of product launches and new deals every day. To save you from feeling overwhelmed, we wrote a guide that teaches you how to shop on Amazon like a style editor. That way, you can save time and money and while finding what you need easily.
