Live: 107+ best Prime Day deals actually worth your money, according to a shopping writer

Live: 107+ best Prime Day deals actually worth your money, according to a shopping writer

NBC News09-07-2025
It's day two of Prime Day, and while this would normally be the beginning of the end, Amazon has doubled the length of the mega-sale this year. That means Prime members still have three more days to take advantage of exclusive discounts across tech, beauty, home essentials, kitchen and more.
If you didn't find what you were looking for yesterday, you're in luck — plenty of new Prime Day deals are dropping today, including fresh Lightning Deals. Just don't wait too long to shop. Some of the most popular items are already selling out, and with many deals lasting only a day or two, prices can jump without warning.
I've covered Prime Day for the past six years, and I can tell you: not every deal is worth your time. As a shopping reporter, I get an early look at what's coming, and I've spent weeks combing through it all to find the offers I'd personally recommend. Every deal below is at least 20% off, highly rated, and at its lowest price in at least three months. I'll update this list live throughout Prime Day so you don't miss a thing.

Best Prime Day deals 2025
Stocking up on essentials during Prime Day is one of the best ways to save long-term. These dishwasher detergent pods, which you constantly need to buy more of, are made with Dawn soap to remove grease and other ingredients to break down dried food and residue. You don't need to pre-rinse your dishes since this detergent is so powerful, according to the brand. There's 71 pods in a pack.
LifeStraw's personal filter can remove over 99% of bacteria, parasites and microplastics from water, making it ideal to bring with you while camping or hiking, or pack in an emergency kit. The tool can filter up to 1,000 gallons of water before you need to replace it. It has a cap to protect the part you sip from, and a layard so you can put it around your neck.
You'll eventually need more garbage bags, so you might as well buy them on sale. This box comes with 110 13-gallon trash bags, which have two layers for added leak protection and a Febreeze scent.
It's always a good idea to have extra batteries at home, especially to put in your emergency kit and power kids toys, remotes and flashlights. This pack comes with 32 AA alkaline batteries, which last up to 10 years if they're unused, according to the brand.
Out of all the teeth whitening strips we've tested, these are our favorite because they're easy to use and highly effective. Strips are coated in a layer of hydrogen peroxide to remove stains, and they're flexible, so they mold to the shape of your mouth. There's 44 strips in the box, which is enough for 22 treatments — 20 are 45-minute standard treatments, and two are 60-minute express treatments.
These are our all-time favorite wireless earbuds for listening to music, taking calls and exercising. You can use them in active noise cancellation to completely block out sounds, transparency mode to hear the world around you or adaptive audio, which automatically swaps between the two depending on your environment. The headphones, which come with four pairs of silicone tips to customize your fit, are water-resistant, according to the brand.
Once you plug devices like fans, air purifiers and small kitchen appliances into this smart plug, you can control them via the Amazon Alexa app or voice commands. The plug is compact, so it won't block your second outlet. Using the app, you can set up schedules, timers and routines for your devices.
Mielle's hair oil targets thinning hair and dry scalps with biotin and essential oils like rosemary, mint, tea tree and peppermint oil. The ingredients work to strengthen your strands, improve circulation and nourish skin to reduce flaking, according to the brand. The oil is suitable for all hair types and textures, and you use it pre-wash, post-wash or as a 10-minute treatment with a shower cap.
Once you plug this Fire Stick into your TV's HDMI port, you can enjoy your favorite shows, movies and music via streaming services or cable. It comes with an Alexa Voice Remote, and you can bring the device with you on trips to use in hotels or rental homes.
You can fill 100 of these refillable balloons up in just 60 seconds, according to the brand, and they self-seal, so you don't need to spend time tying each one individually. You'll get more than 300 balloons (in a range of bright colors) in this pack. (Note: This is a limited-time Lightning Deal.)
You'll wake up with smooth, moisturized lips when you leave this mask on overnight, says NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio. 'I use Laneige's lip mask on days when my lips are super dry and it makes my nighttime routine so much more luxurious,' she says. 'My lips feel so soft after I apply it, and I love using the little included spatula.' The lip mask is made with hydrating ingredients like vitamin C, murumuru seed and shea butters, antioxidants and coconut oil.
See, hear and speak to visitors with Blink's Video Doorbell. It runs on AA batteries, has a two-year battery life and doesn't require wiring, according to the brand. The camera gives you a head-to-toe view when you livestream footage through the Blink app, which also sends you real-time notifications when it detects people at your door.
This is one of my favorite water bottles — I actually like it better than Stanley's popular Quencher because it doesn't leak and is more convenient to travel with. It has a 30-ounce capacity, a flip-up straw, a large handle and a tapered bottom so it fits in most cup holders. The dishwasher-safe water bottle is made from stainless steel and has double-wall vacuum insulation — it can keep your beverages chilled for up to 12 hours, according to the brand.
Dermatologists we've talked to say Differin Gel is one of the best acne treatments. It's an over-the-counter retinoid made with 0.1% adapalene, and it works best if you apply it to your entire face once daily, according to the brand.
This corded vacuum can clean dirt, pet hair and other messes on all floors in your home. It has a detachable pod and long nozzle, letting you clean hard-to-reach areas like above door frames, on stairs and under furniture. The vacuum is built with a HEPA filter to trap allergens like dust and pollen, and it comes with crevice and upholstery tools.
Bring these protein shakes to work or school, or keep them in the refrigerator at home to drink after a workout or when you need a quick snack. They have a smooth, creamy texture and 30 grams of protein per bottle; they're shelf-stable until you open them. The shakes come in packs of 12 and are available in flavors like chocolate, vanilla, cafê latte and caramel.
The Little Green Machine helps you get stains out of upholstered furniture, carpets, area rugs, car seats and more. It has two 48-ounce tanks to separate cleaning solution from dirty liquid, and the head on the end of its long hose lets you spray cleaner on messes, scrub and suction them. You get a bottle of Bissell's Oxy Formula with your purchase, as well as a tough stain tool, self-cleaning hose tool and spraying crevice tool.
I always keep Liquid I.V. electrolyte powder at home to drink before a long run. The pre-measured, single-serve packets make it easy to add to my water, and after I give it a stir, the powder blends right in. Each serving has 500 grams of sodium. You can buy Liquid I.V. in numerous flavors like lemon lime, tropical punch and strawberry lemonade, plus there's sugar-free options.
You can massage Sol De Janiero's highly rated body cream onto your butt, legs, arms and stomach area to moisturize and tighten skin, according to the brand. The viral scented formula has notes of salted caramel, pistachio and vanilla, and once you run out, you can refill the container instead of throwing it out.
'The Kindle really is impossible to live without once you try it,' says NBC Select editor Lindsay Schneider, who's used a number of models over the years, courtesy testing samples from Amazon. 'It makes it a whole lot easier to read on the go and outside. The battery is quite impressive too. I feel like I never have to charge it.'
The Kindle Paperwhite gives you 12 weeks of battery life on a single charge, according to the brand, and it's thin and lightweight, making it easy to travel with. It also has a 7-inch glare-free screen and an adjustable warm light so you can clearly see text in any environment. The e-reader is water-resistant, too — you can use it at the beach, by the pool or in the bath without worrying about splashes.
I'm tossing my decade-old, stained, ripped oven mitts and buying this pair from KitchenAid. They're covered in soft, ribbed silicone that's grippy, heat-resistant up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and water-resistant, according to the brand. The oven mitts also have a cotton cuff that feels soft against your skin.
'This shower oil completely soothes my skin and gives me that silky soft effect,' says Schneider. 'It lathers really nicely and never feels oily despite its initial consistency. The formula, while scented, is quite subtle.' You can use the shower oil as a body wash or to prep your skin before shaving, plus it doubles as a soak when you pour it into warm bath water.
I use this kitchen gadget to make fresh popcorn at home or the office. There's a built-in cup on its lid to help you measure kernels, and you can also put butter inside so it melts over your snack. The glass, dishwasher-safe popper also doubles as a bowl once you remove the lid and let it cool down.
Thanks to its internal organization system, my Samsonite luggage holds an impressive amount of clothes, and it never breaks down despite how much I beat it up during my travels. This set comes with a hard-sided carry-on and a medium checked bag. Both suitcases have built-in TSA locks, expandable storage, 360-degree spinner wheels, and adjustable handles.
Track workouts, daily activity, sleep, health metrics like heart rate and more with this smartwatch. It's water-resistant, so you can swim with it, and it connects to your phone, letting you answer calls and texts. The watch's battery lasts for about 18 hours when it's fully charged, and 30 minutes in the included charger gives you about 80% battery, according to Apple.
Vital Proteins' collagen peptide powder, which I've used for years, helps support hair, skin, nail, bone and joint health, according to the brand. One serving has 20 grams of collagen peptides, as well as vitamin C and hyaluronic acid. The unflavored powder seamlessly blends into hot or cold liquids once you scoop it in. (Remember to consult your doctor before taking anything.)
Keurig makes some of our favorite coffee makers, and this one is compact, so it won't take up much room on your counter. You can brew 8-, 10- or 12-ounces of coffee at a time and remove the 48-ounce water reservoir to refill it.
The Dyson Airwrap simultaneously dries and styles your hair, letting you create curly, wavy and straight styles without causing heat damage, according to Dyson. It comes with three interchangeable attachments: a smoothing dryer, round volumizing brush and long barrel. The Airwrap also has a cool shot button.
The camera built into this bird feeder livestreams video to an app so you can watch critters visit for a snack. The water-resistant feeder has a 1.5-liter container you fill with feed, and there's a wide perch on the front you can add accessories to as you learn what the birds in your area like. The app stores videos for up to 30 days so you can download and share them.

'Amazing' Sony headphones shoppers are calling 'best ever' cut by 45% to under £100

The Sony ULT WEAR headphones are now £99 on Amazon, down from £179, with deep bass, noise cancelling, and 30-hour battery life Whether commuting, working from home, or winding down with music, a good pair of headphones can transform the experience. With the right combination of sound quality, comfort, and smart features, some models stand out, especially when there's a significant discount involved. Sony's high-performance over-ear headphones have received a major discount, with many reviewers describing them as 'amazing' and even calling them the 'best ever'. The Sony ULT WEAR Over Ear Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones are now available on Amazon for £99, down from their original retail price of £179, a saving of 45%. Finished in black, the headphones offer a premium listening experience packed with features including deep bass, advanced noise cancellation, and up to 30 hours of battery life. The headphones are powered by Sony's Integrated Processor V1 and 40mm driver units, designed to deliver what the company calls 'ULT POWER SOUND'. Users can adjust the bass through a dedicated button, which activates two sound modes: Deep Bass for extra low-end punch and Attack Bass for added energy. The result is a powerful, customisable sound profile particularly suited to bass lovers. Noise cancelling is handled by Sony's adaptive technology, with an ambient sound mode available for those who prefer to stay aware of their surroundings. For calls, the headphones use beam-forming microphones and precise voice pickup technology to ensure clear audio, even in noisy environments. Other features include multi-point Bluetooth pairing, support for Google Assistant and Alexa, and quick charging, with 1.5 hours of playback from just a three-minute top-up. The headphones are compatible with iOS and Android and come with a compact carry case. For those who want alternatives, Sennheiser's ACCENTUM Plus Wireless Headphones are currently £139, down from £199.99, while Soundcore's Space One model is £62.99 and offers adaptive noise cancelling and 40-hour battery life. But if it's Sony's rich bass, smart design, and strong feature set you're after, this deal on the ULT WEAR headphones is hard to ignore. With a current rating of 4.5 stars from more than 1,900 reviews, the Sony ULT WEAR has received widespread praise for its sound quality, comfort, and build. One reviewer wrote: 'Amazing headset… the bass is huge… They look and feel good and sound amazing, the best overhead earphones I've probably ever had.' Another said: 'Great sound… great battery life… another Sony winner.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Others praised the headset's premium feel, with one review stating: 'Extremely high value for money. The build quality is absolutely amazing and they come with so many features. Noise cancelling is absolutely fantastic.' However, a few users expressed concerns. One reviewer reported a crack forming on the side of the headphones after six months of regular use, suggesting they may not be the best choice for gym wear. Another wrote: 'Too much bass and not enough soundstage. Good noise cancelling and comfort, but not great for hearing background instruments.' The Sony ULT WEAR is currently available for £99 on Amazon, reduced from £179.

Fitbit smartwatch hailed 'best buy' by delighted tech fan drops to under £100

Amazon has slashed 29% off the Google Fitbit Charge 6 Activity Tracker with a free 6 month premium membership Smartwatches have become a must-have gadget for many, allowing the wearer to track fitness goals, sleeping patterns, and some even take calls and send texts. There are several options for shoppers to peruse, but the likes of Google Fitbit and Apple arguably dominate the market as a reliable and stylish choice. Amazon has just made it more affordable to get hold of the Google Fitbit Charge 6 by offering a deal that makes it almost 30% cheaper. On sale for £98.99 down from £139.99 in all three colours (orange, black and white), the smartwatch comes with complimentary 6 months premium membership. The Fitbit Charge 6 is compatible with iOS 15 or higher and Android OS 9.0 or higher, and has a battery life of seven days, as well as being water-resistant up to 50m. It boasts more than 40 exercise modes, sleep tracking, 24/7 heart rate monitor and a daily readiness score. Those looking for other features besides fitness can explore elements such as Google Wallet, Google Maps and when connected to a phone, the Fitbit shows notifications and allows calls and texts. Customers praise the battery life of the Google Fitbit Charge 6, with one person saying it is 'far better than the Apple watch', due to this. Someone else said: "The reason I bought this was the battery life. Having a device which you need to charge every day or every other day is just not practical for me and the battery on this lasts almost a week." Google Fitbit Charge 6 Activity Tracker £139.99 £98.99 Amazon Shop deal Product Description If the Fitbit isn't quite within budget, Amazon also offers the Fitpolo Smart Watch for £38.99. Shoppers say it is a 'good value smart watch' that is 'packed with features'. Garmin is another top-rated brand in the world of smartwatches and has currently slashed the price of the Venu 2S Smartwatch by £60. Meanwhile, Samsung's range of smart watches are also popular. The chic piece of tech would typically set shoppers back £349.99 but is now on sale for £199. Not only does it look good on the wrist, it has up to 10 days battery life, more than 25 preloaded sports apps, animated workout coaches, music storage and touch-free payments. Regarding the Fitbit Charge 6, there have been some glowing reviews left for the device. Someone said: "Really happy with the Fitbit Charge 6 so far. It's lightweight, looks good, and the tracking is super accurate — especially heart rate during workouts. Battery easily lasts a week, which is a big plus. The sleep and activity insights have actually helped me make small changes that stick. Premium membership is a nice bonus too. Overall, a solid upgrade and totally worth it." Another person pointed out that the subscription isn't a must, meaning after 6 months shoppers don't necessarily need to upgrade to make use of the watch. They wrote: "Highly recommend - slim design, high quality and fits great. Packed with useful features with no need for a premium subscription." While there are a number of features that score points with shoppers, the Fitbit Charge 6 does lack in one area. A less happy customer wrote: "Have received my tracker and all working well. A little disappointed that Fitbit chose not to include the ability to count stairs as my previous charge 4 used to do, however the additions of oxygen levels, skin temperature and ECG do make up for this." But, it helped someone else achieve their fitness goal, with the consumer leaving a five star review that reads: "From little movement to 10km every morning. The best buy I have made. Reduced weight by 2.5 stones and feel fitter than I have for years. The watch didn't actually achieve this but 100% contributed toward it."
