Want more deals? Visit CNN Underscored’s?Guide to Prime Day?for wall-to-wall coverage of the best discounts to be found during Amazon’s massive sale.
Prime Big Deal Days is an all-hands-on-deck operation for us here at CNN Underscored. Our intrepid trio of deals editors — Rikka Altland, Jacqueline Saguin and Elena Matarazzo — has been tracking prices for months and trained their eyes to detect the most notable discounts across Amazon. Tech gurus Mike Andronico and Henry T. Casey are constantly testing the latest gadgets, and their hands-on experience is how we know which electronics are worth it. Gifting expert Amina Lake Abdelrahman has all the finds that can get you a head start on your holiday shopping. And that’s just who I can fit into one paragraph.
You’re not here to make friends, though; you’re here to save money. I’ve done the legwork of opening up my DMs to all our editors so they can share their absolute favorite Amazon Prime Day deals they found over the past two days, and each recommendation is backed up by years of thorough testing and hands-on reviews. These are the best of the best products all seeing rare discounts, from an unbeatable price on our favorite earbuds to a four-figure markdown on an elite TV. But hurry, these stellar deals will be gone tonight.
Underscored associate writer Maxwell Shukuya swears by this air purifier, which checks almost every box and has kept running in his California home for years. This deal is only available in limited quantities and will likely sell out.
Even with the AirPods 4 on the market, you still can't beat what the AirPods Pro 2 give you — especially now at the lowest price we've seen.
A massive $200 markdown on this Alexa-compatible bundle scores you everything you need to keep tabs on your home from multiple angles, including our budget pick for best video doorbell. It also comes with three Outdoor 4 Smart Security Cameras and Sync Module 2.
Our tech wizard Casey doesn't leave home without this power bank, which has the cord permanently attached and a screen displaying how much juice it has left. It's a must-buy at this 25% discount.
Atland, our senior deals editor, has tested roughly 50 MagSafe stands over the years — and this is her absolute favorite. Now 29% off, it looks great and will quickly charge your iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods all at once.
The price on our favorite air fryer tends to fluctuate, but it hasn't dropped further than this on Amazon since February. It's worth jumping on the $50 in savings now if you've been waiting to move on from an old toaster oven.
There are newer, more powerful iPads in Apple's lineup these days, but that doesn't diminish the fact that the Mini is still the perfect tablet for e-reading and other light tasks on the go. If you've been on the fence about it, know this $150 discount is the best we've ever seen.
We love basically everything Yeti makes and this portable, wheeled cooler is no exception. Right now, it's discounted down to its lowest price ever in the Cosmic Lilac color only, which means it's the perfect time to invest in one of the best coolers on the market.
This 61% discount caught the eye of travel products editor Kyle Olsen, an expert on all things luggage and air travel. Getting a large checked bag, a carry-on and a crossbody for this price is beyond a steal.
Casey, also our resident TV expert, says the exceptional brightness on this stunning TV will reduce glare. This $1,200 discount might outshine the screen, though.
How do we find the best Amazon Prime Day deals?
While we’re always keeping our eyes peeled for deals across the internet, our editors pay close attention to Amazon during October Prime Day. Our trio of deals-specific staffers run the show to point out the most notable discounts across the board, as the rest of our team dials in to their respective beats to flex their expertise. Leveraging those specialties and falling back on our findings from years of hands-on testing of the latest tech, beauty products and home goods allows us to recommend on-sale products we’ve used ourselves.
