Consumer Reports’ experts have been scouring Amazon (along with all the other major retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart) all week to pinpoint the best deals on top-rated products from our tests to help you find the sales that are really worth it. Among those, we’re highlighting here the truly standout offers that are at their best prices or simply such great values we don’t want you to miss them.

Stay in the loop on every category we’re covering for Prime Day at our Deals hub, where we’ll be tracking the deepest discounts from major retailers.
Sleep Essentials
The Tuft & Needle Original Foam Pillow has been on sale throughout Prime Day, but it dropped $15 today, making it the best price we’ve ever seen. It is made of polyurethane foam and has a micro-polyamide and polyester cover. Despite this composition, testers found that the pillow excels in breathability. According to our lab tests, it is a great choice for side sleepers but less ideal for back sleepers. Expect its firmness, height, and support to remain consistent with use.
The Coop Home Goods Premium Adjustable Loft Pillow is also on sale for first-time buyers. Its price is made of shredded memory foam and excels in our tests for support, no matter your size or sleep position. The Coop also keeps its shape well, showing little to no change in height or fluffiness in our resilience tests. Each pillow comes with extra foam, so you can adjust the filling to your liking. The only area where this pillow falls a bit short is in breathability—it sleeps slightly warm.
There’s a reason Brooklinen is an internet sensation. Our tests find that its Luxe Core sheets have sturdy seams, making them pretty tear-resistant. And when it comes to shrinkage, consumers can rest assured that they won’t experience much of it. When you’re making the bed, these sheets take out the guesswork. There are labels along each side that read “short side” and “long side” so that you’re never confused. Just expect to experience a fair amount of wrinkling.
Buffy Cloud Comforter
Buffy’s Cloud Comforter is the softest choice in our at-home assessment. Thanks to its smooth, silky feel and fluffiness, the duvet is comfortable enough to use without a duvet cover. Made of recycled materials, it’s uniformly stuffed in layers to prevent clumping and shedding. The shell material is 100 percent sateen-weave Tencel lyocell.
If you’re in the market for a durable foam mattress under $300, the Marley mattress from Sleep Innovations could fit the bill. It’s best for petite and average back sleepers, as well as petite side sleepers who like their mattress on the softer side. It earns a very good score for stabilization.
Small Kitchen Appliances
This is a stellar Prime price on a great stand mixer, one that we haven’t seen before. While the Instant Pro 140-1560-01 does not come from an iconic brand, it mixes it up with the best of them in our tests. It earns top marks for kneading bread dough, and its ability to whip heavy cream and mix large batches of cookie dough is above average. And we aren’t disturbed by the noise as it hums along. This tilt-head mixer has a 7-quart bowl and can handle enough dough for two loaves of bread.
This large-capacity Zojirushi drip coffee maker is the non-programmable version of one we’ve tested in our labs—though we haven’t tested this one, we expect its performance to be about the same. It has a shower-style mechanism to dispense water over the coffee grounds for even coverage, and our testers found the carafe easy to use. However, it didn’t quite meet our standards in our brew test in terms of bringing the coffee to a temperature of 195 to 205 degrees and maintaining it for five to six minutes. But Zojirushi, as a brand does have top scores for reliability and owner satisfaction for its drip coffee makers.
The Instant Vortex 4 Plus Air Fryer 4QT is a standout for the legibility of its digital controls, relatively low noise levels, and ease of cleaning—and its low price is a standout too. What’s more, its square basket design makes it easy to fit in a small pyrex dish or baking pan—great for turning out sweet treats. The measured 3-quart model has a 1-year warranty.
The Ballarini Parma Non-Stick 10-piece nonstick cookware set includes two frying pans, two saucepans, one sauté pan, and a stockpot (lids also count as separate pieces). In our lab tests, we found the pans’ speed of heating and cooking evenness to be excellent. Nonstick food release and durability were also very good, and this set did a very good job of evenly simmering tomato sauce. We haven’t seen a deal on this set quite as good since last Black Friday.

Pets
Furbo Pet Camera
In evaluating the best pet cameras, the Furbo dog camera was our editors’ top choice, thanks to its aesthetically pleasing design and camera with a wide viewing angle. The ability to choose a voice prompt for the treat toss is a bonus. The device’s basic app features include live view, toss treats, talk to and hear your pet, and get barking alerts. The Nanny cam subscription includes cloud recording, advanced barking alert, Doggie Diary (a video summary of the day that you can choose to save to your device), activity alert, selfie alert, and person alert. And yes, you can still use the Furbo if you have a cat.
ChomChom Roller Pet Hair Remover
If you can have only one pet hair removal tool in your cleaning toolbox, this is the one. The ChomChom is the only tool our testers evaluated that gathers and picks up all of the pet hair it touches. After just three forward and backward swipes, our velvet and linen-polyester pillows were left almost completely free of hair. It was the best tool on carpet, too, and no other tool we tested left it as hair-free as the ChomChom. An evaluator who has carpal tunnel syndrome noted that this tool required significantly less pressure to use, which meant that her condition wasn’t aggravated as it was with a few of the other pet hair removers. It’s also worth noting that three of our at-home evaluators liked this tool so much that they bought it for themselves post-evaluation.

Hair and Skincare
Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal + Biotin Dry Shampoo
The Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal + Biotin Dry Shampoo is a nearly perfect product among the dry shampoos we evaluated. It absorbs grease well and blends easily with different hair colors. It’s also pretty comfortable on your scalp. Any dryness the evaluators felt was slight and didn’t cause any noticeable discomfort. The scent of the product is light and not too overpowering, according to most evaluators.
This Biore UV Aqua Rich SPF 50 Daily Moisturizer facial sunscreen uses chemical active ingredients and delivers strong broad-spectrum protection, with excellent UVA coverage to help prevent premature aging and long-term skin damage, and very good UVB protection to effectively guard against sunburn. Its high-performing formula makes it well-suited for daily use as well as extended time outdoors, offering reliable defense in a lightweight, comfortable application. It’s a lotion with a citrus and lemongrass aroma, but it is not water-resistant.
Tymo Ring Straightening Comb
The Tymo Ring Straightening Comb is at its lowest price. CR writer and product tester Jodhaira Rodriguez was impressed with how well and how quickly this comb straightened her frizzy, dry hair. It’s shaped like a traditional hair comb with smooth, horizontal teeth. Because of the smoothness of the bristles, hair isn’t gripped as it passes through the comb; it glides smoothly just like a comb does, as long as the hair is detangled. It has five temperature settings that range from 266° F to 410° F, and an auto-shutoff feature that turns the straightening comb off after 30 minutes.
Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk
The majority of evaluators found the Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk to be very effective in absorbing oil. It blends fine with darker hair, but for our evaluators with lighter-colored hair, the powder changed their hair color slightly. And its drying aftereffect is a bit stronger than the Briogeo product we reviewed.
Headphones
The Bose Quiet Comfort earbuds sit near the top of our ratings, with really satisfying sound and exceptional active noise cancellation—and they’re at their lowest price. Bose headphones also earn top marks from our members for predicted reliability and owner satisfaction. The $50 discount might seem modest by Prime Day standards, but Bose products are rarely discounted at all.
The Galaxy Buds FE pairs nicely with Samsung Galaxy phones, with phone-specific features like live translation. Their noise cancellation works effectively, and the sound quality is well above average. Our testers also find that, with wingtips that help the earbuds stay in place, the Galaxy Buds FE fit users with a variety of head and ear sizes. And at just over $50 on sale, they represent a good value.
The Sonos Ace is the company’s first headphone, and our testers find this minimalist model to be a top performer. Its noise-cancellation is first rate and it also ranks near the top of our sound quality rankings. Fit-wise, it is less-than-great for some users with large heads, but it’s at its lowest price.

TVs
This 65-inch Plus-series set from Roku jumped up in price at Amazon, but it’s still at its low sale price at Walmart and Best Buy. It offers top-notch picture quality, but less-than-stellar HDR. It does have better-than-average built-in sound. It’s in the series below the flagship Pro models, which do better for HDR, and above the entry-level Select sets. At Amazon, the TV has returned to its pre-sale price, but you can still get the deal at other retailers.
Tired of looking at a big black rectangle on your wall when you’re not watching TV? This 55-inch Samsung set—part of the company’s “Frame” TV series—is a great alternative, and it’s down to the lowest price we’ve ever seen. It’s an attractive set with an art mode to photos or images of paintings when you’re not watching a show or movie. It can also be customized with optional colorful bezels to match your room decor.
This 65-inch TCL set is at the lowest price we’ve ever seen, about $200 less than it has cost in recent months. It’sa midtier model in the company’s higher-end Precision Dimming Series of step-up models with Mini LED backlights for 2025 and offers great overall picture quality and a satisfying HDR experience. It also has very good sound. It uses the Google TV smart system, with Google Assistant built in.

Tech Gear
The Marshall Emberton II is a good-sounding small portable Bluetooth speaker that differentiates itself with its styling. So if you want to avoid the typical cylindrical speaker in Skittles colors, the Emberton II is an elegant option. Channeling the styling of its namesake company, the Emberton II is a nice gift for the guitar geek in your life. Unlike Marshall’s larger models, which sport satisfyingly beefy knobs, the baby Marshall wasn’t particularly easy to use in our lab tests.
The Sonos Ray is a compact 2.0-channel soundbar, and the least expensive Sonos model we’ve tested, and it’s back down to the same low price we saw on Black Friday last year. Despite its small size, it manages to deliver impressive overall sound. It lacks an HDMI input—you connect it to the TV via the optical digital audio input—but it has built-in WiFi for playing music, podcasts, radio, from your favorite services.
If you want a small, light, and low-cost tablet, the Amazon Fire HD 8 (gen 12) is a good option. In our tests, its performance and camera both received below-average scores, and the display quality is only middling. But if you plan to use a tablet for just the basics, the Amazon Fire HD 8 could do the trick and save you some money.
Samsung’s Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 is a premium 2-in-1 laptop that flips between tablet and clamshell modes with ease. It features a gorgeous OLED touchscreen, a thin-and-light build, and long battery life. Normally selling for $1,500 to $1,600, it’s down to $1,399 for Prime Day, which is the best price we’ve seen and a solid deal on a Windows convertible.

Fitness
Samsung’s Galaxy Watch7 is a high-performing pick, particularly if you own a Galaxy phone, and its stylish design means you can feel comfortable wearing it just about anywhere. The Watch7 offers the latest health, fitness, and safety features—including sleep apnea detection, swim stroke analysis, and AI-enabled Sleep and Energy scores. Its other features include automatic workout tracking, heart-rate and blood-oxygen-level monitoring, and heart rate variability tracking. This is the Bluetooth-only model; the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 LTE with cellular connectivity is also currently $100 off.
Toloco Massage Gun
This is a newer version of the cheapest massage device we’ve tested (available for the same low sale price we’ve seen for that model), and it could be a decent budget purchase. I’ve owned the model we tested for six months and have had no complaints as a casual user, so I’m confident this model will be quite similar. In our evaluations, the model we tested did offer a weaker massage than other devices, though it may still be enough for some users—and it’s pretty quiet as a result. The interface on this device can be cumbersome. While it comes with 10 attachments and a case, the attachments often get jumbled up inside the case, making it hard to fit the massage gun in. This device charges via USB-C.
Lifepro Waver Vibration Plate
Lifepro has the widest platform of all the vibration plates we tested, which is useful as the wider your stance, the more deeply you feel the oscillations. It’s also the heaviest, at 26 pounds, making it feel the most stable. And it has a height of 5.8 inches, which can be useful if you plan to use it for exercises like lunges and planks.
Papillon Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager Pillow
The Papillon Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager Pillow is at the lowest price we’ve ever seen. It checks a lot of the boxes for being the perfect massager. It’s effective and lightweight. In fact, it’s the lightest of all the electric massagers we tried, according to our measurements. It’s also fairly inexpensive. You can use the massager on different body parts, such as your back, neck, shoulders, legs, and feet. It also offers a good amount of heat.
Home Products
The portable Blue Pure 211i Max is at a new low price. It does a terrific job on its higher setting, removing dust, pollen, and smoke, but expect a bit of noise. Try it on low and you’ll have more quiet while still experiencing top-notch results. This model is designed for use in a large space of 350 to 650 square feet and costs about $109 a year to maintain. It also weighs just 17 pounds, making it easy to move around.
This has dropped an extra $15 at Amazon since Wednesday.
Yes, the Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra VS90F40DMK/AA is on the expensive side, but it checks all the boxes we want for a cordless stick vac. Its average runtime is longer than most of the other cordless stick vacs we tested, which means the vacuum’s less likely to die on you in the middle of cleaning. It scores well for cleaning carpets, a rarity for a stick vac. And the vacuum comes with a cleaning station that automatically empties the contents of the vacuum into the station bin, a plus for convenience. The Prime Day price is the lowest it’s ever sold for, making it a steal.

Household Staples
Persil Ultra Pacs Everyday Clean Original
If you’re often washing coffee stains from clothing on laundry day, this is not the single-dose laundry detergent for your home. Persil Ultra Pacs Everyday Clean Original received poor scores for their removal of coffee stains in our lab tests. It fared better against body oil, dirt, and chocolate stains. At a discount of over 70% off, if you have minimally stained clothing, this could be a great buy this Amazon Prime Deal day. Like many other laundry detergent pacs we’ve tested, their performance was minimally affected by water hardness.
Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Dish Soap (Basil Scent)
Uniquely basil scented, Mrs.Meyers Clean Day Dish Soap was a welcome departure from the usual dish soap scents. It produced rich suds and saturated our sponge with soap for longer than many of the others we tested. The bottle was light and easy to dispense soap from. You can reuse the 16-ounce bottle and refill it from the 48-ounce bottle when it’s time to restock your kitchen sink. According to the brand, it’s made from “plant-derived” ingredients.
Amazon Basics Bath Tissue
This basic toilet paper performed nicely in our tests while also being among the most budget-friendly. We appreciated that it produced little lint though isn’t as rough and papery as others we tried; it also disintegrated well, so it’s a good option for sensitive plumbing.

Smart Home
Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance Smart Bulbs
While it’s expensive, the Philips Hue smart bulb was hands-down the easiest to work with and offered the most impressive performance in our home evaluation of the best smart lightbulbs. The bulb generates bright, vivid colors and displays a good range of color temperatures, plus it works with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings when paired to a compatible smart speaker or hub. It can be used on its own via Bluetooth, but requires the Philips Hue Bridge for Apple Home integration and additional functionality. Amazon has a handful of Philips Hue bundles on sale for about 20 to 40 percent off.
The Google Nest Video Doorbell (Battery) is now $10 less than it’s ever been. It offers impressive data security, speedy response times, and decent video quality in our lab tests. It’s also one of the few video doorbells to give you monitoring zones, object recognition (of people, packages, animals, and vehicles), and three free hours of cloud video storage without a monthly subscription. Cloud video storage and additional features (such as facial recognition) require a Google Nest Aware subscription.
The Arlo Essential 2K (VMC3050-100NAS), beating its previous best price by $2, is one of Arlo’s newer, more budget-friendly security cameras. It performs well in our tests and features a built-in spotlight, a siren, and voice/app control via Amazon Alexa and Google Home. Additional features, such as activity zones, person detection, and cloud video storage, require an Arlo Secure subscription.
The well-rated Ring Indoor Cam 2nd gen features a manual camera shutter for privacy, two-way audio, activity zones, color night vision, a built-in siren, and voice/app control via Amazon Alexa. It also comes in a fun colors: pink and starlight (a dull gold). Cloud video storage and features such as person detection require a subscription.

Baby
The Graco Extend2Fit Convertible Baby Car Seat is a strong performer in all modes of use that offers increased leg room for rear-facing children, and it’s at a good price for Prime Day. In addition to the leg room extender, this seat’s 50-lb rear-facing capacity makes this seat a great choice for keeping children facing rearward longer, our experts found. It offers a no-rethread harness, making it easy to adjust the harness straps as your little one grows, but note that removing and replacing the seat cover (if you take it off to wash, for example), can be a little tedious.
Philips Avent Natural Baby Bottles with Natural Response Nipples, 4-Pack
This bottle was already at the lowest price we’ve seen, and now it’s dropped even lower on the final day of the Prime Day sale. Our parent reviewers found the Philips Avent Natural Baby Bottle simple to use with few parts, a wide opening, and liked that it was lightweight and easy to clean. As a 32-year-old Texas dad shared: “The bottle is way easier to fill than other models because of its wide lid and minimal simplistic thread design. Filling doesn’t require a super-steady hand, and unscrewing requires just the right amount of pressure to secure the liquid and allow for easy opening.”
This smart, soothing bassinet from Graco is at its best price of the year. It features SmartSense, which detects and automatically responds to cries to help soothe your baby back to sleep, using gentle motion, soothing sounds, and calming vibrations. Though there is no smartphone app for the Graco, you can connect your smartphone via Bluetooth and play your own music or other sounds (recorded stories, perhaps?) through the bassinet speakers to your child. Our testers liked that the bassinet sheet is machine-washable, but note that there’s no storage for extra diapers or pajamas. But it’s a decent price for a responsive bassinet.

BakerStone Pizza Oven Attachment
Who says you have to drop hundreds on a trendy freestanding pizza oven to make a perfect pie? If you own a grill, all you need is an attachment like this one from BakerStone, especially when it’s never sold for under $100. Throw it right onto the grates of your grill. The grill provides the heat. While we didn’t try this grill-compatible model, we did try the BakerStone with a dedicated gas burner and found we got great results.
Sun NInja Beach Canopy
The Sun Ninja Beach Canopy is at its lowest price. It has a unique shape that gives us Salvador Dali vibes. Among the canopies we tested, it offered the most consistent shade and held its own in the wind. The poles didn’t tilt, and the canopy simply swayed with the breeze, but this didn’t affect shade coverage. It’s available in several sizes and starts around $60 (the price shown is for the largest size).
This corded, electric Black+Decker BEBL7000 is at its best price. It’s effective for smaller jobs, keeping in mind that you’ll be limited by the length of your extension cord. It can also be converted to a vacuum mode for collecting and mulching leaves into a bag, and the bag can be worn as a backpack.
