Pre-Prime Day Deals On Items With Over 10k 5-Star Ratings
Amazon Prime Day is coming!
62% off the latest model of Blink outdoor security cameras (the cheapest they ever go for, and the first time they've been this price in 2025) offering 1080p HD day and infrared night footage so you can watch over your property right from your phone. The kit is easy to install (even if you're not tech savvy), you can save and send video, and there's two-way talk so you can scream at the squirrels stealing your bird food.
Squirrels need to eat, too, but I get it. These wire-free security cameras come with two-year batteries and a free 30-day Blink trial. The subscription is not necessary, but it offers extra features like video storage and person detection. Promising review: "I've never owned a home camera before so I asked around and did my research…The app alone is AMAZING! The quality of the video is great and you can adjust it how you want as far as motion detection. The night vision...WILD! And the fact that I can talk to my dog and hear him if he barks…I would definitely recommend both indoor and outdoor cameras. THEY ARE AMAZING!!!"—Jomyra MalavePrice: $99.99 (originally $259.99)
50% off the *newest* Amazon 4K Fire TV Stick — that's the best price outside of Cyber Week. It has 4K picture, Dolby sound, and ~WiFi 6~ to help with uninterrupted streaming, plus smart search so you can find a movie or TV show by actor, genre ("action movies with car chases"), or even quote! Just plug into your existing TV and stream all the shows, movies, and music you want at the push of a button.
Promising review: "I've been dealing with WebOS on my LG TV for three years now, and enough is enough. Fire TV stick is 🔥 I love this thing. I can even view my Blink cameras on the big screen now; so cool. Setup is so easy and it linked to my other Alexa-enabled devices just great. Picture is great, response is lightning quick." —MattSRPrice: $24.99 (originally $49.99) — and shop all of the Amazon device deals here.
Up to $105 off a portable Black & Decker air conditioner (that also works as a dehumidifier and fan) with all the power and cooling you need, without any permanent changes — you can even move it easily from room to room as needed. And reviewers note it's much cheaper than running central air!
It comes with a window kit for easy installation, too!Promising review: "Incredible portable AC unit. This unit is a hoss. It is the only one we have gotten that cools our bedroom in under 30 minutes. We have tried at least three other units that were too weak, t,o loud, or failed after a few weeks. Stop looking around and get this one." —AndrewPromising review: "I love to sleep in a freezing cold room, but I hate the power bill that goes along with cooling an entire house. This unit was the best solution. It keeps the room frigid, and I sleep like a rock. It barely increases my bill and really improves my sleep." —MatPrice: $224.99+ (originally $329.99+; available in 8,000, 8,500, 10,000, 12,000, and 14,000 BTU versions, plus a version that also functions as a heater).
Up to 42% off a set of lightweight packing cubes to help you fit *more* in whatever back or backpack you're trying to squeeze everything into. The individual cubes mean you do *not* have to sit on your carry-on roller to get it closed. And you can even organize them by day, clothing type, ~segment of your trip~ (like city/beach/weather), etc. And they're mesh so you can easily see what's inside!
Promising review: "If you're looking to stay organized on the go for yourself or with kids, I cannot recommend this enough! I've used packing cubes before that were poor quality. The quality of this product exceeded my expectations. The material and zippers are lightweight yet durable. Packing for my daughter and me on our last trip was a breeze with these packing cubes! Highly highly recommend!" —es86Price: $14.44 (typically $24.99; the lowest price is on the cream colorway — it's a new best ever price!)
35% off Beats Solo 4 headphones — full disclosure, these were just 50% off (and might be on Prime Day!), but this price is still enough of a steal that you might want to snag a pair early just in case they sell out the color you want! They flex some GORGEOUS spatial audio, a whopping 50 hours of battery life, and genuine "all day wear" comfort — reviewers love how lightweight and wearable these are compared to other brands.
Promising review: 'Impressive sound, stylish and sophisticated headphones. I personally like how it's not complete noise cancellation since I like to be aware of the environment around me. So this headphone is amazing for the right reasons. Quality, style, sound, and safety. Not to mention how sleek it is. Finally, headphones that are not bulky or heavy. I appreciate the smooth texture, feel, and the cushioned headband part. It's also easy to pair with my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. The blue slate color is classy, too! Excellent product!' —Diane Price: $129.95+ (originally $199.99; available in four colors – discount varies per color)
34% off a portable, cordless Waterpik water flosser that'll take all the work out of flossing (including...buying floss at all). Just aim the nozzle, and a targeted jet of water'll get right in between your teeth, removing plaque and food particles without irritating your gums — or cutting off the circulation to your fingertips like regular floss.
Promising review: "When in doubt, choose Waterpik. I've used Waterpik devices for over the past four decades. I decided to go to a handheld device when I began to question how sanitary the countertop devices were internally over time. I did some research on Amazon as well as product review sites and purchased the top-rated device recommended on the product review site, which was not Waterpik. Cutting to the chase, a year later I purchased this Waterpik. The design of this Waterpik is excellent. The controls and water port are placed in ideal positions and the water capacity is sufficient to get the job done without refilling during use. It's easy to maintain — wipe it down, recharge every couple of weeks. No worries about water being trapped in tubes and inner workings growing bacteria or fungus." —ILuvGoldDogsPrice: $45.99 (originally $69.99; also available in black, which is not on sale).
55% off a full HD Dash Cam for 55% off (tied for the lowest price ever), so you can take off on your summer road trip with some added peace of mind. This gadget features built-in Wi-Fi GPS, night vision, and a parking monitor so all of your bases are covered.
Promising review: "We purchased this camera about 18 months ago and it has now paid for itself 100x over when it provided evidence to the police and insurance that my wife was not the one at fault in an accident that totaled her vehicle, and the other party lied to the police. It was easy to install and had clear instructions. Great suction cup with integrated GPS antenna, which made installation a breeze. The camera will slide off the mount if you want to hide it while parked without removing the entire mount. Crystal clear video, front at 4k and back at 2k, produces high resolution video where you can read license plates and even identify who was driving another vehicle." —Prime RiskPrice: $89.99 (typically $129.99)
Up to 28% off a pair of waterproof wireless earbuds with some real AirPods Pro energy — except these feature a charging case that, bless its technologically savvy heart, has an LED display letting you know exactly how much charge is left. Reviewers also love how delightfully comfortable and sweatproof these are, making them a solid, affordable option for talking on the phone and exercising.
Don't forget to redeem the 20% off coupon to receive the additional discount.Promising review: "I use these every day at work! Love these — easy to learn and to use. Best thing about them? Well, everything, lol. Good sound, they hold a charge for long periods, and I don't have to worry about them losing power. I can answer my phone easily and then go back to music without a problem. Definitely a great buy and worth the money! Love this color, too!" —Erin"These are the best quality earbuds for the price! I found them through TikTok and have zero regrets. I'd definitely repurchase if needed." —HamrickPrice: $22.39+ (typically $31.33; available in nine colors)
29% off a 4-pack of smart light bulbs so you can turn on and off lights and control dimness/brightness from your phone and via voice command — just like the Philips Hue system, but for a lot less. Now you can turn on your lights and make it look like someone's home when you, sadly, have to stay late at the office.
Promising review: "I rent and can't install a motion light outside my door. I don't like leaving my porch light on all the time, just in case it's dark when I come home. This is the perfect alternative. I can set it to come on at dusk and turn it off at a specific time. I turned the brightness down to light just my doorway, so as not to disturb my neighbor. I love that it can be controlled with Alexa, too. Great light!" —KitPrice: $24.99 (originally $34.99; also available individually)
31% off an all-in-one Neakasa pet grooming kit (which matches the lowest it goes for!), complete with five grooming tools (brush, rake, trimmer, and two vacuum heads) so you and your home are not completely overwhelmed by shedding season. This has a vacuum function that sucks up all of your pet's shed/trimmed fur, which means less mess for you to deal with!
Promising review: "I've had this vacuum for almost two years now, and it still works as good as new. I have two Shiba Inu dogs who shed so much it's ridiculous. All of the attachments have their own obvious uses. The suction is great, and the vacuum isn't loud enough when set to max suction to scare my dogs. They actually love it when I turn it on because they love to get brushed and groomed. Worth every penny to help keep my dogs looking nice and clean." —Kevin PellotPrice: $89.99 (originally $129.99)
20% off a Levoit Core Mini air purifier if pollen has the power to absolutely take you out. This not only eliminates your number one arch nemesis, but also lint, hair, pet dander, and smoke particles, so you can breathe easy!
Be sure to check the $10 coupon box to receive the discount. Promising review: "Put it in my bedroom, it works great. It not only keeps my air cleaner. It also cools my room down a couple of degrees, and I appreciate that for sleeping, especially. It is super super quiet, and well worth the money I spent. The fact that I can clean it usually 3 to 4 times during the summer months and more during winter months makes it convenient, and it is an expensive and well worth the money." —Crystal BaldwinPrice: $39.99 (originally $49.99)
20% off a pair of round sunnies with Ray-Ban vibes and a price tag that won't make you feel so bad when you inevitably misplace a pair on vacation or squash them accidentally because you have a bad habit of leaving them on your couch.
Promising review: "These are the best bang for your buck! They look high-quality, feel high-quality, but without the high-quality cost. I got so many compliments on them while I was traveling this Christmas. I was at the beach, and it was an added bonus that they were polarized!" —Melanie WhitePrice: $12.79 (typically $15.99; available in 13 colors)
Up to 41% off a heating pad to treat your neck, shoulders, and upper back with some soothing heat that may help relieve tension and will certainly feel relaxing after a long day at your desk in the shrimp position.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this heating pad!! There are up to 9 heat settings, and you can adjust the time from 30 minutes to 9 hours with an auto shut-off! I have tons of neck issues and have been using a normal heating pad curled around my neck. This is not only shaped perfectly with the collar to fit, but it's weighted just enough to hold it in place, but not feel too heavy and cause more pain. It also has a small button clip with an extender to connect the front and hold it in place. The fabric is so soft and the blue is very pretty! Never thought I would be so excited for a heating pad, but this is a game changer!!" —AmberPrice: $26.57+ (originally $44.99; available in three colors)
Up to 31% off an aptly named TushGuard memory foam seat cushion — I like the idea of this little guy protecting you from discomfort while you're sitting. It's great for office workers, long-haul drivers, or just folks who are tired of squirming through dinner because their fave restaurant bought the hardest chairs ever made.
There is an additional discount if you buy more than one cushion, so what better way to say "I care about you" than to get someone a memory foam seat cushion?Promising review: "I've had this cushion for a couple of months now, and it has made ALL the difference in my home office; I am now working from home and spending long hours at my desk. This cushion was a life-saver and worth every penny!" —Libby Paige LyonPrice: $18.99+ (typically $27.80; available in three sizes and three colors)
35% off a 40-count box of Bic mechanical pencils — yes, I hear you, school just ended...but summer school is starting, and the fall semester will be here before you know it, so you might as well stock up on supplies that you know your kid (or you!) will need for the school year.
Promising review: "These have been a staple in my house for both school and work. The lead writes effortlessly and glides across the page without breaking easily, which is great for taking notes or filling in test sheets. The bright barrel colors make them fun and easy to identify if you're sharing with family or classmates, and the erasers do a surprisingly good job cleaning up mistakes without smudging. It is comforting and lightweight. I love that this 40-count pack offers great value — enough to last for months or share with others. Plus, since they're 0.7mm, they have that perfect balance of precision and durability. No sharpening, no fuss, just click and write. I'll definitely be repurchasing once we go through this batch!" —Ione BrasilPrice: $6.47 (typically $9.88)
33% off a TP-Link Wi-Fi extender (the lowest price ever) so you can boost your service throughout the whole house, even in those dead zones where your movies or files always buffer. Whether you've got a Zoom work meeting or an equally important episode of The Office to rewatch, this extender won't disappoint.
Promising review: "I purchased this item because my job went from hybrid to work from home. My internet router is located in my master bedroom, but my office is in the middle of my house, meaning I didn't have a strong signal for work. I called my internet provider, and they wanted to charge me a lot of money to extend the internet across my house. I ended up buying this extender to help with the signal. I'm glad I purchased it because now I have coverage on the other side of my house. It was easy to install, and the app is super simple, all for a great price. Thanks to the TP-Link extender, without it, I would've had to go back to work at the office." —JaryPrice: $19.99 (originally $29.99) and shop all the TP-Link deals here
Up to 32% off a ~timeless~ Timex 40mm watch perfect for daily wear or switching it up when you go out, but don't want to wear your smart watch. The hour and minute hands glow, so you can still tell time in the dark, and it's water resistant up to 50 meters.
Promising review: "I wanted to get an inexpensive watch to wear on the weekends, on camping trips, and generally whenever I wanted a break from my smartwatch. I've had several Timex Ironman watches in the past, but I decided to try an analog watch this time. I really like this watch. I love that it just tells the time and day of the month. The simplicity is a nice break from my Apple Watch buzzing and dinging all the time. The face is a good size for my small wrist/large hand combo, and I'm enjoying the design, from the colors to the hands to the fonts. It's super easy to read, and the Indiglo works well." —J ClemencePrice: $28.75+ (originally $42.38+; available in various styles)
Up to 36% off a waterproof phone pouch so you can capture all kinds of fun water-adjacent memories without compromising that tiny computer you take with you everywhere. Can't wait to see your slow-mo TikTok of you on a Jet Ski like Kenny Powers.
It also comes with a lanyard, so you can wear it around your neck. Fits all smartphones up to 7" diagonal size.Promising review: "This product is incredible. I purchased it to use while in Key West for an iPhone 6, iPhone 6 plus, and Galaxy S6 Edge, and it fits perfectly for each phone (but a little more snug with the iPhone 6 plus). It is completely waterproof and takes great photos and video through the case, but you have to press record prior to submerging the case underwater. My family went snorkeling and kept the case with the phone inside submerged almost the entire time and had no issues with leakage. My family and I got stopped numerous times by being asked where we purchased this product. Perfect, even if you are just on the beach and you do not want to get sand or sunscreen on your phone, and still want to take photos/text/browse the internet while on the beach. I will be purchasing this for everyone in my family as it has become a travel must-have! I highly recommend this product." —Amber SmithPrice: $5.99+ (typically $9.41; available in 14 colors)
Up to 36% off a time-saving Dash mandoline if you've ever tried to make potatoes au gratin at home and cursed yourself an hour into slicing because it's taking so damn long. This mandoline offers over 30 slicing options and a variety of thicknesses so you can protect your hands while breezing through prep.
Promising review:Price: $30.49+ (originally $39.99+; available in two colors)
Up to 47% off an ultra-fine continuous water mister for re-moistening your curls when you need some dampness to style your hair, but don't have time to hop in the shower. You can also use it to mist your plants, or mist essential oils, tanning sprays, and cleaning mixtures.
Catch it in action on TikTok here!Promising review: "Another amazing product TikTok made me buy. I was looking for something for when I wet my hair in the mornings. My old typical spray bottles kept breaking or leaking. This one has a longer spray time, and the mist is perfect when I don't want to get my hair too wet. All in all, worth it, especially for the price." —M. Zuniga Price: $6.78+ (originally $9.99+; available in four sizes and three colors)
20% off a surge protector power strip with *pounds chest* *clears throat* 12 outlets, 1 USB-C port, and 2 USB-A ports, because you're playing musical chairs with the devices in your home that need to be plugged into the woefully small number of outlets you have. You really shouldn't have to choose between plugging in your AC or charging your phone overnight.
It has a 5-foot extension cord and mounting screws should you want to mount it.Promising review: "This power strip feels incredibly well made, solid construction all around. The extension cord length is as advertised, thick, durable, and clearly built to last. Devices plug in securely and stay firmly in place, which is something I really appreciate. I use it under my home office desk, and it's been reliable from day one. If I ever need another, I'll definitely buy this one again." —TrevorPrice: $23.99 (originally $29.99)

With changing consumer trends and rapidly evolving technology, 2025 presents a variety of exciting business opportunities.

I raced 5 miles with the Apple Watch Ultra 2 vs. Garmin Venu X1 — here's the winner
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 has long been one of the best smartwatches for runners, but it still doesn't quite match the best Garmin watches for sports features. However, the gap between smart and sports watches grows smaller year by year, and the Garmin Venu X1 is a clear attempt by Garmin to tap into the Apple Watch audience more. It has a vast 2-inch AMOLED display and a thinner design than any Garmin I've tested. On the wrist, it feels more like a smartwatch than a sports watch, even though it packs in almost all of Garmin's top sports tracking features. To compare the Garmin Venu X1 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 directly, I wore both for a 5-mile race in the Essex countryside in the UK, examining their design, accuracy, and battery life. The new Garmin Venu X1 packs most of Garmin's key sports tracking and training analysis features into a very slim smartwatch with a huge AMOLED display. Its square design certainly brings to mind the Apple Watch Ultra 2, and the Venu X1 has some useful smart features like music storage and NFC payments. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is the flagship smartwatch in the brand's range, but with the Apple Watch Ultra 3 rumored to arrive this fall, you can usually find the Ultra 2 in sales somewhere. This modest discount at Amazon is on the black titanium version of the watch with the trail loop, which is the most comfortable Apple Watch strap for runners in my experience. I finished the race in 26:01, and both watches were pretty much spot on with their accuracy. However, there were definitely differences I noticed in their design and how they performed on race day. The thinness of the Garmin Venu X1 makes it feel very light and unobtrusive on the wrist, despite the fact that it has such a large screen. It felt lighter than the Apple Watch Ultra 2 during the race, and despite how thin it is, the Venu X1 doesn't feel flimsy at all, thanks to the titanium case back and sapphire screen. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is a very good-looking watch. The way the titanium case surrounds its screen might well make it more durable than the Venu X1, but the Garmin is lighter and feels better for running. At the start of the race, I missed the button on the Apple Watch Ultra 2 to begin recording, but had only taken a few steps by the time I got it going, and both watches produced accurate tracks on the two-lap course out on countryside roads. I track my runs in kilometers, and five miles is 8.05km, so both watches were very close to the correct distance — the race was Essex County's 5-mile championships and so had a licensed, accurately-measured course. One notable thing about the GPS tracking on the two watches is that the Apple Watch Ultra 2 offers dual-band GPS tracking, a more accurate method that isn't available on the Venu X1, but is available on other Garmin models. So far in testing, the all-satellite-systems tracking on the Venu X1 has been very accurate. On this course, on countryside roads with little tree cover, it was fine, but in city events where you're running around tall buildings, the dual-band tracking on the Apple would be beneficial. To test the heart rate accuracy of the two watches during the race, I also wore a Garmin HRM600 chest strap connected to a Garmin Forerunner 970 in my pocket. In my experience, chest straps are a more reliably accurate option for heart rate tracking than wrist sensors, so I could compare the readings from the Venu X1 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 to see if they matched. For the most part, both watches performed very well for heart rate accuracy, matching up to the chest strap beat-for-beat for almost the entire race. At the start of the race, it took a while for the reading of the Venu X1 to rise to the correct heart rate, and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 showed no heart rate reading at all for the first minute or two, but once both locked on to my heart rate they were accurate for the rest of the event. The Apple Watch Ultra 2's battery life has been very consistent for me through years of testing, with the watch invariably lasting a couple of days of use, even when I ran a marathon with the watch. Garmin watches usually outlast this comfortably, but not so the Garmin Venu X1, which has only been lasting me a day with the screen always-on. Garmin says it should last two days, but I'm losing about 10% of battery per hour during runs, including the 5-mile race, which is a faster drain rate than expected given the supposed 14 hours of GPS battery life. This is with the brightness of the screen set to the lowest level, too (it's still more than bright enough). Unless you plan to have the Venu X1 screen on raise-to-wake, right now, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is the winner on battery life. Garmin did launch an update for its Forerunner 570 and Forerunner 970 watches after they launched to improve battery life, so this could happen with the Venu X1 too, but right now, its big, bright screen is certainly having a huge impact on battery life. If you're someone who prefers a square watch and prioritizes a bright display over long battery life, both of these watches fit the bill, and they back up those good looks with impressive sports tracking that's accurate and detailed. The lightness of the Garmin Venu X1 makes it more comfortable on my thin wrist, and I prefer Garmin's sports tracking and training analysis to Apple's, because there's more detail and customization available. During this race, however, it was a wash as to which performed better, with very similar distance, pacing and heart rate stats from both watches. You can certainly rely on either one on race day.
