We've Already Spotted 31 Truly Great Prime Day Deals

WIRED

25-06-2025

Amazon Prime Day 2025 is fast approaching, and the sale is already underway on some items. To help you find the best early Prime Day deals, we've scoured Amazon for deals on the tech we love. As always, every deal we recommend here is on a product our reviewers have personally tested and approved—you won't find any shoddy dupes or mystery brands here.
This year Prime Day runs for four days, July 8-11, rather than the usual two. That means there's twice as long to suffer save. Twice as long to score a great deal on a new Amazon Fire Tablet, some AirPods, or a KitchenAid stand mixer.
Be sure to read our explainer on all the Amazon Prime perks you should be taking advantage of.
WIRED Featured Deals
Amazon's Eero Pro 6E (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is a tri-band mesh that adds the 6-GHz band to the familiar 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz bands. If you have a 1 Gbps or faster connection and lots of devices, this is a great mesh system for you. It performed extremely well in our tests, though the 6-Ghz band is short-range.
This deal is for the Fire Max 11 (5/10, WIRED Review) bundle, with keyboard. The Fire Max 11 is Amazon's nicest Fire tablet, but if you're thinking of doing work, keep in mind that Google's various office apps won't work. If you don't need those, this is a serviceable tablet. The screen is bright and sharp enough, the speakers aren't bad, and the cameras are 1080p.
If you tend to watch a ton of Amazon Prime content, get the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. It heavily promotes Prime content, though you do have access to other services. It has 16 gigabytes of storage, which should be enough for all your streaming apps and games. You can pull up your security camera feed and ask Alexa to do things, like order your pizza.
Easily the best audiobook service, Amazon's Audible Premium Plus gives you access to a library of Audible Originals, audiobooks, and podcasts, one credit per month to use on any audiobook title you fancy, and regular exclusive deals and discounts. Prime members can have three months for free right now (one month for non-Prime members), after which it costs $15 per month.
It may not be the best music streaming service, but Amazon Music Unlimited earned an honorable mention in our guide. Four months of free service for Prime members (three months for non-Prime members) will be enough to tempt some folks to try it. Apple Prime Day Deals
The iPad (A16) (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has a USB-C port, a Touch ID sensor integrated into the power button, a 12-megapixel rear camera, and a 12-MP selfie camera in landscape mode (with support for Center Stage). You also get 5G on the cellular model. The A16 chip is the same one in the iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15, and iPhone 15 Plus. It's plenty powerful, but there's not enough RAM to support Apple Intelligence, making it the only iPad in the lineup without access to Apple's artificial intelligence features (possibly a feature depending on your stance on AI).
Would it surprise you to know that this is the laptop I am typing on right now? Probably not. The Air is one of the most popular laptops around and for good reason. You get a powerful, portable laptop with outstanding battery life for under a grand. If your workload is graphics-intensive, you might want to go for the 14- or 16-inch MacBook Pro, but for the rest of us the Air is the Apple laptop to get.
Apple's latest AirPods Pro (8/10, WIRED Recommends) are ubiquitous for good reason. They've now got USB-C in the charging case, and this latest version sounds better than ever before. They have an IP54 sweat- and dust-resistance rating, and the noise-canceling is top-tier. Pair that with six hours of juice and a case with a speaker to help use Apple's 'Find My' feature, and you have a winning combo.
The Watch Series 10 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is the best Apple Watch for most people. It does not have blood oxygen sensing, which is truly preposterous given that almost every other fitness tracker on the planet has it, but it can tell if you have sleep apnea, which otherwise requires a disruptive sleep test to diagnose. The Series 10 is thinner and lighter, so it's more comfortable to wear while sleeping, and it has fast charging, so it can track more of your activities during the day.
The gateway drug of Apple Watches, the entry-level SE is a compelling deal. It doesn't have the latest standout health features, but it's compatible with watchOS 11, so you'll be able to take advantage of the new Vitals app, and it has the S8 chip, which offers support for features like Crash Detection. It remains the best Apple Watch for the money.
The Beats Flex are the best headphones for Apple users under $100. They feature quick pairing, easy access to Siri, and seamless Apple Music integration, thanks to Apple's W1 chip, which ensures a rock-solid wireless connection to iOS devices. We were able to get 12-hour-plus battery life, which is good enough for a few workdays of tunes between trips to the wall charger.
For those overnight trips it's nice to have a power bank capable of charging up your Apple Watch. This Anker power bank has a handy pop-up Apple Watch charger that can deliver 5 watts and supports Nightstand mode. It also has a built-in USB-C cable and a USB-C port, so you can deliver up to 30 watts to your phone or another small device. Tech Deals
Our favorite budget laptop, the Asus Vivobook 14 (6/10, WIRED Recommended) features an entry-level Snapdragon X processor with excellent battery life. This combo features a 512 GB SSD and 16 GB of memory. The Vivobook 14 is otherwise a fairly basic laptop—on the thicker side, and the display is dim with not-so-great color. Still, especially on sale, this is a solid budget laptop.
This Wi-Fi 7 mesh router offers expansive coverage and it very fast on all bands. You get a good selection of multi-gig Ethernet ports and it's easy to set up and use. The downside is the price, but this deal helps out with that. You'll need a HomeShield Pro subscription for online protection and full parental controls.
This little power bank has a 25,000-mAh capacity and can deliver up to 165 watts to two devices (it tops out at 100 watts for a single device connected via USB-C). The retractable cable is nice, and the clever braided 1-foot USB-C cable doubles as a carry loop. It has a display to show the remaining battery, charging rate in and out, battery temperature, and health.

Ugreen's 145-watt charger, with 25,000-mAh battery, is surprisingly compact for the power it provides. There are two USB-C ports and one USB-A port. What sets the Ugreen apart is that you can actually draw 145 watts while charging. That works out to one USB-C port at 100 W and the other at 45 W.

Anker 711 Charger (Nano II 30W)
This Anker charger is very small (unfortunately, the plugs don't fold, see below if you want folding plugs), and supports 30 watt charging. That'll be enough for most phones, and can also handle tablets and even possibly low-power laptops.

Anker 713 Charger (Nano II 45W)
This Anker plug is nice and compact, with a folding plug which makes it great for travel. If you have a phone that's capable, this is a nice way to fast charge, and this will of course be perfect for laptops, tablets, and other devices. Outdoor Prime Day Deals
I've been testing smart bird feeders daily for almost a year now, and I can say definitively that no smart feeder is perfect. However, if you want something at the intersection of reliability, features, and affordability, this feeder, the top pick in our guide to the Best Smart Bird Feeders, is your best bet. This model is especially a great buy as it comes with both a lifetime subscription and a solar panel to keep it charged. —Kat Merck
Hydro Flask has several types of bottles and caps available in a bunch of fun color options. You can choose one color for the bottle, another for the lid, and depending on which one you're getting, yet another for the strap or straw. In our years of testing, this has proved the most durable water bottle.
Ninja's cute and compact outdoor oven (7/10, WIRED Review) is temperature accurate, versatile, and adds a touch of smokiness without you needing to mess with the complexity (or size) of a full smoker. It's idiotproof and affordable, we love it for decks and those with limited outdoor cooking space, since you can do a lot of things with it.
Yeti reinvented the cooler, and we thank them for it. The rotomolded Tundra is built like a tank with 3-inch-thick insulated walls, and in our testing it kept ice frozen for six days in blazing 90-degree heat while stored in direct sunlight on Adrienne's deck. I (Scott) have managed to get five days out of it in the insane humidity of Florida in the spring. A Yeti hard-sided cooler is the best cooler around. Note that this deal is only on the one, wine-colored Tundra.
Of all the portable charcoal grills I've tested, the Weber Jumbo Joe remains my favorite. It strikes the best balance of affordability, features, and ease of use. It's big enough (18.5 inches in diameter) to smoke two racks of ribs or to fit burgers and corn for six people (admittedly, this was crowded) but small enough that you'll still have room in the trunk for a cooler and camping supplies.
Biolite's FirePit+ is a sleek, portable, mesh box with removable legs, a hibachi-style grill, and an ash bin. It has a rechargeable 10,400 mAh battery that can power 51 air jets for up to 26 hours. This allows you to precisely control the flame, and to some extent, the heat of the fire. The FirePit+ can burn charcoal or wood and, thanks to the fans, you don't need a charcoal chimney and you'll never struggle to get a fire burning.
Our favorite portable power station, the Explorer 2000 Plus has everything you need. It's got plenty of ports, supports fast charging, and the 2,042-watt-hour capacity will keep you running for days. You can charge it speedily from your AC outlet, but it also works with solar panels, like Jackery's SolarSaga 200-W Solar Panel. Just be aware that it weighs a hefty 62 pounds. Best Home Deals
The Artisan is a design classic, but it doesn't just look great, it performs as well. It's got plenty of power, and the tilt head lifts smoothly so you can change attachments. You get four attachments in total, including a dough hook, a wire whip, a pastry beater, and a flex edge beater that manages to get right up to the sides of the bowl so no cake mixture is left behind.

The best budget Dyson vac, the Digital Slim is basic, but powerful. It lacks some of the newer features on nicer models. For example, instead of a single power button, it still has a trigger you have to hold down while vacuuming. You'll do get a Motorbar cleaner head, combination tool, and crevice tool in the box. It's not compatible with fancier accessories like the Laser Slim Fluffy cleaner head that shoots out a green laser to spot microscopic dust. We have seen the price dip lower on sale, but this is still a solid deal.
As seen in our guide to the Best Air Purifiers, Shark's NeverChange doesn't sport a filter you never have to change, it just lasts up to five years. WIRED reviewer Lisa Wood Shapiro found that even this is only true in very small rooms, but no matter. It's still a great deal on a decent air purifier, which now comes in fun colors like green and lavender. (Those ones aren't on sale, though.) —Kat Merck
GHD has something of a cult following due to its reliability and unique features like single temperature setting (365 degrees Fahrenheit) and fun little chime to let you know it's heated up. We tout it as a more affordable alternative to the popular GHD Chronos (7/10, WIRED Review) in our guide to the Best Hair Straighteners, and at $73 off, it's about as good a deal as you're going to find on a GHD. —Kat Merck
This cordless powerhouse is compact, waterproof (yes, you can use it in the shower), and charges fast in four hours. It offers three pressure settings, four tips, and a 360-degree rotating handle that gets into every nook of your mouth. The water reservoir runs for about 45 seconds per fill, just enough for a thorough clean. It also comes with a microfiber travel bag, tip case, water plug, and universal voltage. Ideal for neat freaks or frequent travelers. — Boutayna Chokrane
There are countless Philips Sonicare electric toothbrushes to choose from, but I keep coming back to the trusty 4100. Its gentle vibrations are easier on gums than the more aggressive oscillating brushes. You get a two-minute timer, two intensity settings, and a pressure sensor to protect your enamel. Battery life is excellent, lasting about two weeks per charge, and the built-in BrushSync tech lets you know when it's time to replace the head. It's simple, smart, and under $50. — Boutayna Chokrane
We've loved the Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus (8/10, WIRED Recommends) for a while. It dries and styles in one go, with its 2-inch oval barrel and four heat modes (including a cool setting). The detachable head makes it easy to pack or stash in a drawer, and the ceramic titanium tech reduces heat exposure by 50 percent. It's a smarter (and safer) upgrade from the original version—which had recall issues overseas—and a cheaper alternative to Drybar tools. — Boutayna Chokrane
