Amazon Prime Day 2025: Dates and best early deals
Amazon Prime Day is back from 8 to 11 July, bringing four days of offers on everything from mattresses and air fryers to electric toothbrushes, laptops and Apple tech.
Exclusive to Amazon Prime subscribers, prices will be slashed across third-party brands like Shark, CeraVe, Elemis and Dyson. There will also be offers on Amazon's own devices – think Kindles, Echo Dot smart speakers and Fire tablets.
In previous years, we've seen plenty of big-ticket products fall to their lowest ever price during the sale, such as the AirPods Pro 2 earbuds, which were reduced to just £179 last year.
While the sale hasn't kicked off yet, there are still countless deals at Amazon right now. Keep scrolling for all the latest details on the next Prime Day sale and our team's hand-picked selection of the very best Amazon deals available today.
When is Amazon Prime Day 2025?
Amazon has confirmed that the next Prime Day sale will take place from Tuesday 8 to Friday 11 July. This is the first time the sales event has run for four days, so you'll have even more time to shop the best deals.
What is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day is a four-day sale event for Prime members. It's usually held twice a year – once in the summer and again in October to kick-start Christmas shopping. The event features deals across top brands, from Apple to Dyson, as well as offers on its bestselling own tech, including Kindle and Echo dot smart speakers.
Do you need to be a Prime member?
If you want to take advantage of Prime Day discounts, you must be a Prime member. A Prime membership costs £8.99 a month, or £95 if you pay annually. If you're between 18 to 22-years-old, this is half the standard price and you get a 6-month trial to see if it's for you. Perks include unlimited one-day delivery, access to Prime Video and the chance to shop Prime-exclusive deals.
However, if you're unsure about adding another monthly cost to your bills, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial. This will give you full access to all the Prime member benefits, and you can cancel at any time during your trial to avoid being charged when it expires. Just bear in mind that this only works if you haven't signed for the free trial before.
How to get the best deal on Amazon Prime Day
Before you shop the Amazon Prime Day sale, make a wish list to avoid buying products that you don't really need. Once the sale starts, use price history tools, such as CamelCamelCamel, to see if you're truly getting a good deal or if you should hold off buying until the price goes down even further.
It's also worth doing a quick Google search to see if you can get a better price at other retailers. Competing retailers often reduce the prices of popular products to match, or even provide a better offer, than Amazon. They may also throw in a longer warranty or free delivery.
If your electric fan isn't quite cutting it in the heatwave but you don't want to invest in a portable air conditioner, it's worth considering an air cooler. These don't need to be vented out of a window and give more of a cooling effect than an electric fan.
This Pro Breeze model has almost 20 per cent off Amazon for a limited time. Our reviewer called it a 'heatwave hero' and said it's 'one of the most powerful coolers' they've tested, reliably cooling a room by a few degrees. With Prime Day set to land in early July, we'll be on the lookout for even more discounts on summer essentials.
Alternatively, if you'd rather invest in an electric fan, this one from Duux, which is also one of our best electric fans, has an impressive 25 per cent off at the moment. The height is adjustable, so you can also use it as a desktop fan, making it all the more versatile. Our reviewer liked 'the natural breeze mode that simulated real wind,' as well as its free app, which allows you to control it from any room in the house.
With 26 different speed settings, you can truly customise just how cool it gets, along with its direction. This will no doubt come in handy over the summer months.
We're expecting to see a range of discounts on Ninja's kitchen appliances and cookware when Prime Day lands. Right now, you can save almost 25 per cent on the brand's electric outdoor pizza oven, perfect for summer entertaining.
We put Ninja's woodfire pizza oven to the test and found it gave us pizzas with a 'lovely charred taste and crispy crust'. This version doesn't come with the option to use wood pellets, but if you can do without that smoky taste, you'll save yourself around £66.
Amazon slashed the price of this Tefal air fryer to £99.99 in October's Prime Day sale, and it's dropped back down to this price again.
Our tester Katie reviewed the XXL model and found that her frozen chips and chicken shawarma cooked 'quickly and evenly'. She also liked its 'easy-to-use controls, the dishwasher-safe baskets and trays, and the family-sized proportions'.
Shark is an Indybest favourite with its vacuum cleaners and hair tools often earning spots in our round-ups. Its anti-hair wrap cordless vacuum is now 36 per cent off at Amazon. It's a good choice, with pet, crevice and upholstery tools that are perfect for tackling messy carpets. We're expecting more discounts from Shark when Prime Day rolls around, so we'll update you on the best deals as soon as they arrive.
There's a massive 46 per cent off these Beats wireless earbuds, with both the black and ivory colourways currently discounted. Our reviewer appreciated the level of 'sound isolation to enhance the audio,' and their 'unbeatable battery life'. If you're someone who always forgets to charge your earbuds before heading out the door, you'll be glad to know that a 5-minute or 15-minute charge will charge the headphones for up to 1.5 and 4.5 hours, respectively.
This pod machine was reduced to less than £80 in the winter Prime Day sale, and it's often dropped to this price since. In our review, our writer loved the built-in Brita water filter, its ease of use, and how the settings can be tailored to your preferences. Our tester Zoe says, 'Once you've found your perfect blend, you can set it as a favourite – there's memory for four favourites, so all coffee drinkers in the test house were able to have theirs saved.'
Here's a chance to save on Samsung's smartwatch, with a deal on the predecessor to the latest Galaxy watch 7. This version doesn't have as many AI or sleep tracking features, but our tech reviewer said even those familiar with the Galaxy range 'would struggle to tell the difference between them'.
With a 38 per cent discount, we haven't seen the price of the smartwatch drop any lower on Amazon. If there are further reductions when Prime Day lands, we'll make sure to let you know.
Amazon's 32in Fire TV plummeted to its lowest-ever price in the last Prime Day sale. While the viewing experience may not be as needle-sharp as a pricier TV set, you can change programmes with just your voice, thanks to Alexa capabilities. There's built-in access to all the main streaming services, including Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video. Right now, you can pick up the set with a 28 per cent discount, so this inexpensive TV is now even cheaper.
Amazon reduced the price of the latest Macbook Air last month, and now, with a further reduction, it's at one of its lowest prices ever at the online retailer. Our tech critic, David Phelan, praised the 'preposterously slim, sharply designed and appealingly light' laptop after putting it to the test. We've seen some great Apple discounts during Prime Day in the past, so we'll make sure to update you as the best deals drop next month.
Toothbrush deals aren't just limited to Prime Day, as we often spot them throughout the whole year. This electric model is our best budget pick and is currently even less than half price. Tech critic Steve Hogarty said, 'It has everything you really need and none of the frills: it's compatible with the standard Oral-B brush heads, it has a timer with 30-second pacing buzzes, three modes, a pressure sensor and a two-week battery life.' It left him with that classic 'just been to the dentist' feeling.
In his review, Steve explained that Suri's sustainable toothbrushes are designed to be 'more easily recycled or repaired'. Once your toothbrush has reached the end of its lifespan, you can send it back to the brand for free, and they will recycle it for you.
While we can't test these sustainability claims, our reviewer, Steve, was impressed with how the Suri toothbrush performed and liked its 'sleek, slim, and compact' design. With this deal, the brush has a fairly decent discount of 20 per cent off, and we'll be keeping an eye out for more reductions on Prime Day.
If you need a stain remover that lifts tough dirt, you can't go wrong with Vanish oxi action. We put its oxi action whitener to the test and found it 'effective on collar grime and food stains'. This version is better for dark and coloured clothing, as it doesn't include a whitener. However, with more than 50 per cent off, you won't be able to get this 1.4kg pack cheaper elsewhere, even on your weekly supermarket shop.
The stain remover also comes under Amazon's ' You Buy. We Donate ' campaign. When you buy two selected everyday essentials, Amazon will donate a third item to the Multibank charity, who distribute hygiene and household essentials to families in need across the UK.
A favourite among the IndyBest team, Elemis' award-winning cleansing balm has 20 per cent off right now, taking it to less than £40. Our tester noted how their 'skin felt smooth and was left with a velvety texture,' after using it to remove their makeup before bed. They added, 'the luxurious feel and effect of this cleanser make it a great choice for at-home pampering nights'. We'll certainly be stocking up at that price.
This lightweight hair oil from Olaplex can be used as a pre-styling treatment, as it provides heat protection up to 230C. 'It doesn't leave my strands feeling heavy, weighed down,' said our tester. She also found that a little goes a long way and said, 'While the bottle looks decidedly small, from experience, it lasts a very long time'. You can save 20 per cent on the hair oil with this deal. We'll be on the lookout for price drops from the haircare brand as we approach Prime Day.
When we compared the original hydrating cleanser (£10, Amazon.co.uk) to this cream-to-foam iteration, our expert reviewer, Louise, said she was "pleasantly surprised at how rich and creamy the lather felt on [her] skin.' She added: 'If you love the hydrating cleanser but want a bit more make-up removing power and hydration thanks to the amino acids, we'd suggest trying the new version' – especially with 20 per cent off.

Grocery prices rise again to 4.7% more expensive than a year ago
Grocery prices are now 4.7% more expensive than a year ago as supermarket inflation hit its highest level since last March, figures show. The figure is up from 4.1% last month, which was a rise from 3.8% in April, according to data from analysts Kantar. Price rises did not stop British consumers from making 490 million trips to the supermarket over the last month, averaging almost 17 per household and the highest recorded by Kantar since March 2020. The increase in visits saw take-home grocery sales over the four weeks to June 15 grow by 4.1% compared with the same period last year. However, the rise in the frequency of visits was balanced out by a drop in average amount spent per trip, which fell by 3p to £23.89. As temperatures rose, consumers bought 2,400 packs of strawberries every minute in the last four weeks. Shoppers also traded up to more exotic fruits too, with sales of mangoes and blueberries climbing by 27% and 10% respectively. Overall grocery volumes fell slightly by 0.4% over the last four weeks, the first year-on-year decline this year, with Kantar suggesting that a small part of this could be due to changing health priorities such as the growing use of GLP-1 weight loss drugs. Fraser McKevitt, head of retail and consumer insight at Kantar, said: ' Supermarkets and grocery brands are entering new territory as weight loss drugs become more popular, with four in 100 households in Great Britain now including at least one GLP-1 user. 'That's almost twice as many as last year, so while it's still pretty low, it's definitely a trend that the industry should keep an eye on as these drugs have the potential to steer choices at the till. 'Four in five of the users we surveyed say they plan to eat fewer chocolates and crisps, and nearly three quarters intend to cut back on biscuits.' Meanwhile, consumer concerns over price are continuing, with sales of own label ranges growing 4.2% this month ahead of branded lines as shoppers looked to balance their budgets. Ocado was the fastest growing grocer with sales up 12.2% in the 12 weeks to June 15 to take a 1.9% share of the market. Lidl was the fastest grower among bricks and mortar grocers at 11.2% – its third consecutive month of double-digit growth to reach 8.1% of the market. Fellow discounter Aldi increased its share to 10.9% as sales rose by 6.5%. Tesco saw the highest share gain over the period, at 0.5 percentage points, taking it to 28.1% of the market. Asda's sales fell by 1.7% on a year ago, leaving it with a market share of 11.9%.

Keir Starmer facing first major rebellion as 108 MPs plot to defy PM over Labour's welfare cuts
SIR Keir Starmer is bracing for his toughest rebellion yet after more than 100 Labour MPs vowed to defy him and vote down Labour's welfare cuts. A staggering 108 backbenchers, including former ministers and 13 influential Commons select committee chairs, have backed an amendment that threatens to torpedo flagship plans to slash disability benefits. 2 2 If opposition parties join forces with them next Tuesday, Labour's flagship proposal to rein in soaring handout costs could face an unprecedented and humiliating defeat at its Second Reading. Cabinet Minister Pat McFadden this morning admitted the rebellion is a 'very serious' challenge, conceding there are 'some concerns' among MPs. He told Good Morning Britain: "It's not just a few colleagues, but it's a very serious thing to vote against a Government Bill at second reading. "You're right to point out that this phrase reasoned amendment isn't just a small tweak. It would stop the legislative process if it succeeded." Defending Sir Keir's plan, Mr McFadden warned that welfare costs are spiralling out of control, adding that a 'city the size of Leicester' is being added to the population on benefits every year. He said: 'I don't think, as the party of labour and work, we can afford to sit back and be complacent about so many people moving onto long-term sickness and disability benefits.' The rebellion is being spearheaded by Dame Meg Hillier, Chair of the Commons Treasury Committee, who is leading the amendment to the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payments Bill. While acknowledging the 'need for reform' to the disability benefits system, the amendment slams government figures showing the proposed changes could plunge 250,000 people, including 50,000 children, into poverty. Dame Meg warned: 'We recognise that the financial situation is difficult. 'As the chancellor says governing is about choices. 'We don't disagree that there is a need to reform welfare but it's hard to deliver the proposed improvements in the proposed timescale. And disabled people must be protected.' Key measures are reforms to PIP and Universal Credit Merging jobseekers' allowance and employment support allowance, where people who have worked get more than those who have not Scrapping the Work Capability Assessment by 2028, with all health payments made via PIP in the future Under-22s to be banned entirely from claiming Universal Credit incapacity benefits An above-inflation rise to the standard allowance of Universal Credit, but the highest incapacity payment cut A much higher bar for people to claim Personal Independence Payments to save £5billion a year A "right to try" scheme that allows jobless Brits to have a go at working without losing their benefits if they cannot manage The rebellion comes despite frantic efforts by Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall to rally MPs behind the cuts. Addressing the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) last night, Ms Kendall told backbenchers: 'The path to fairer society – one where everyone thrives, where people who can work get the support they need, and where we protect those who cannot – that is the path we seek to build with our reforms. 'Our plans are rooted in fairness, for those who need support and for taxpayers. 'They are about ensuring the welfare state survives, so there is always a safety net for those who need it.' But her words fell flat, as MPs lined up to justify their rebellion against the PM. What are Work Capability Assessments? The DWP uses the Work Capability Assessment (WCA) to evaluate a claimant's ability to work when applying for Universal Credit due to a health condition or disability. The WCA focuses on assessing functional limitations rather than specific medical diagnoses. It considers both physical and mental health, awarding points based on how an individual's condition impacts their ability to carry out daily activities. After the assessment, claimants may be placed into one of two groups - Limited Capability for Work (LCW) or Limited Capability for Work and Work-Related Activity (LCWRA). Claimants assigned to the LCW group are recognised as currently unfit for work but may be capable of returning to employment in the future with the right support and assistance. Those in this group are required to engage in work-related activities, such as attending Jobcentre appointments or training courses. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in sanctions, including a reduction or suspension of benefits. Claimants are placed in the LCWRA group if their health condition or disability is considered so severe that they are not expected to be able to work or participate in any work-related activities in the foreseeable future. Those in the LCWRA group receive an additional amount on top of their standard Universal Credit allowance currently worth £416.19 a month. Ex-Transport Secretary Louise Haigh blasted the proposals, saying: 'Disabled people have not been consulted and we have not given enough time for the government's reforms on employment support to work. 'In the middle of a cost-of-living crisis, we cannot risk a rushed Bill taking money off disabled people.' Anneliese Midgley added: 'I've signed this amendment because I believe the government need to think again. "The proposals are rushed. 'They will financially penalise disabled people and risk pushing some people away from work.' What is PIP and who is eligible? HOUSEHOLDS suffering from a long-term illness, disability or mental health condition can get extra help through personal independence payments (PIP). The maximum you can receive from the Government benefit is £184.30 a week. PIP is for those over 16 and under the state pension age, currently 66. Crucially, you must also have a health condition or disability where you either have had difficulties with daily living or getting around - or both - for three months, and you expect these difficulties to continue for at least nine months (unless you're terminally ill with less than 12 months to live). You can also claim PIP if you're in or out of work and if you're already getting limited capability for work and work-related activity (LCWRA) payments if you claim Universal Credit. PIP is made up of two parts and whether you get one or both of these depends on how severely your condition affects you. You may get the mobility part of PIP if you need help going out or moving around. The weekly rate for this is either £28.70 or £75.75. On the daily living part of PIP, the weekly rate is either £72.65 or £105.55 - and you could get both elements, so up to £184.30 in total. You can claim PIP at the same time as other benefits, except the armed forces independence payment. Under the proposed legislation, over 150,000 benefit recipients will see their payments slashed due to changes in how PIP is assessed, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed. Starting late next year, new and existing claimants reassessed for PIP will need to score a minimum of four points in at least one activity to qualify for the Daily Living Component. The changes mean those unable to cook will qualify, but those who can use a microwave won't. Similarly, needing help to wash your lower body won't meet the criteria, but assistance with washing your upper body will. While requiring help to use the toilet meets the threshold, needing reminders to go won't. Currently, the higher rate of the Daily Living Component is worth £110.40 a week. By 2029/30, government estimates predict around 800,000 people will lose access to this component. Furthermore, 150,000 will miss out on Carer's Allowance or the Universal Credit Carer's Element.

Amazon confirms £40bn investment into new Northampton warehouse
Billions of pounds will be invested into a new Amazon factory in the east which will be one of four across the UK for the multi-national technological giant. Amazon confirmed the £40bn plans to be spent over the next three years on the new sites. This includes a new fulfilment centre in Northampton which is due to open in 2026 and will create 2,000 new jobs. The three other centres will be in Hull and the East Midlands and new delivery centres stations will also be created across the country. Amazon confirmed the £40bn would provide more than 4,000 jobs across all of its new sites, with the vast majority being outside of London and the south east. The major plans come the same week as the Government's Industrial Strategy which the Labour Party says is aimed at "slashing energy bills for industry, increasing skills, and boosting investment". Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who met Amazon's CEO last week ahead of the announcement, said: "Amazon's £40 billion investment adds another major win to Britain's basket and is a massive vote of confidence in the UK as the best place to do business. "It means thousands of new jobs—real opportunities for people in every corner of the country to build careers, learn new skills, and support their families." Chancellor Rachel Reeves said the investment was a 'powerful endorsement of Britain's economic strengths'. It includes part of the £8bn previously announced in September 2024 for building, operating, and maintaining data centres in the UK, to support the UK's AI industry. Amazon CEO, Andy Jassy, said: "When Amazon invests, it's not only in London and the South East – we're bringing innovation and job creation to communities throughout England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, strengthening the UK's economy and delivering better experiences for customers wherever they live."
