Promising review: "Don't waste your money going with a cheaper unit, Frigidaire I have found to be the best. When it's in 100 degree weather I don't want to worry about our unit working. Would recommend." —Amazon Customer Price: $187 (originally $249)
A Chefman Air Fryer for 42% off because you keep threatening to use your oven less during this heatwave, and this can (deliciously) help you make good on that claim. This model is compact and portable, so you won't have to redo your whole countertop setup to accommodate it.
Promising review: "I bought this for use in our RV while spending two months in very hot south Texas. This is the first basket-type air fryer I've owned, and I cooked almost every dinner (for two people) the entire trip in it! It was easy to use and easy to clean." —Greg&DebPrice: $69.93+ (originally $119.99; available with or without the front window)
A 12-inch, queen fiberglass-free hybrid cooling mattress for 41% off, in case, once you hit July, you realized your mattress is holding in some heat. Psst, this is its cheapest price yet!
Promising review: "This cooling memory foam mattress has completely transformed my sleep! I used to toss and turn all night, waking up feeling sweaty and uncomfortable. But this mattress is a different story. It cradles me in luxurious comfort, providing unparalleled support and pressure relief. The cooling gel infusion is a true lifesaver, keeping me cool and comfortable even during the hottest summer nights. I wake up feeling refreshed and energized, ready to conquer the day.

The fabric is incredibly smooth and soft, making it a great choice for anyone who wants a luxurious feel without overheating. The color is rich and exactly as pictured, adding a sleek, modern touch to any bedroom." —Amazon CustomerPrice: $15.19 (originally $19.99; available in 33 colors)
A hands-free wearable fan for 33% off that'll clip onto your waistband or you can wear around your neck because we could all use a little more breeze atm.
Promising review: "These were a lifesaver! We used them while at multiple theme parks in the summer, and they have worked wonderfully. The fact that they clip to your waist, hold your shirt down, and blow air up your shirt is a way better way to keep cool than just an external fan. I have bought several of these, and would highly recommend! A couple of these lasted all day, as long as you are not constantly running them full blast." —GregPrice: $19.98 (typically $29.99)
A waterproof phone pouch for up to 26% off worth stocking up on now 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: $6.99 (typically $9.41; available in 14 colors)
A set of high-velocity fans for 38% off if you're trying to make working in your garage more manageable this summer. But reviewers also use them in the house for a breeze!
Promising review: "These are just great fans... put out a large amount of air, all metal, and last for years. I have window AC units and put one in front of each, and it makes a huge difference in cooling and electric bills." —Dennis LodgePrice: $104.99 (originally $169.99)
A lightweight, super compact folding beach chair for 34% off that will become your new address during the summer months. Reviewers love how packable this is for beach trips and camping!
Promising review: "We got these to pack in our suitcases for a beach trip and they were perfect! They fit nicely in our suitcases, which was important. They weigh closer to 7 pounds, so they're not the lightest, but they still worked. They are very easy to set up and very comfortable! The cup holder is a great feature, too." —lucasPrice: $31.99 (typically $48.37)
A Shark FlexBreeze Pro Mist Fan for 20% off (that's the first-ever recorded discount) if you loveeee walking through the misters at Disney and want to bring the experience home. This bb — which can be configured as a pedestal or tabletop fan — lowers temperatures by up to 12 degrees, and you can even pop some ice cubes in the tank for extra chill!
Promising review: "We love this fan. Not only can you spray water through an attachment that goes to the fan, but you can charge the fan itself, disconnect it from the stand, set it up on a table, and it will run for about four hours with no electricity required. It will also run for about four hours before having to be recharged. You won't regret this purchase." —Nan LindstromPrice: $199.99 (originally $249.99)
A Ninja Artisan outdoor pizza oven for 33% off (the lowest it's been!) with an impressive 5-in-1 functionality that can make pizza, bake, broil, warm, and proof. Once it's preheated, you'll have restaurant-quality pies with melty, gooey cheese ready to devour in just three minutes. Choose from various settings to get your preferred pizza style, whether it be pan, thin crust, New York, Neapolitan, or custom. I bet you'll appreciate the chef's view window that allows you to watch your masterpiece while it cooks...try not to drool all over the place. 🤤
It includes the pizza oven, a 12" x 12" pizza stone, 12" x 12" bake pan, and quick start guide with inspiration recipes!Promising review: "Wow, what a powerful oven. I divided the pizza dough into three sections and cooked pizza at three temperatures to find the best combination, after using the dough recipe in the included book. I liked the 550 temperature because the crust was not overly cooked or undercooked. You definitely can not walk away from the oven or get busy making another pizza as it cooks super fast. It's best to test out the oven to find your sweet spot. I'm in love with the versatility of this oven. I've been wanting to cook more pizza outside in the summer to reduce heating the house. Highly recommend this oven " —BrooksPrice: $199.95 (originally $299.99) — and shop all the Ninja deals here
A Dash My Mug ice cream maker for up to 30% off — future you will be SO glad you bought this when the next heatwave arrives.

All the parts nest for snug, easy storage *and* the bowl doubles as a freezable mug!
Promising review: "The best little ice cream maker that ever was. I used this to make dairy-free ice cream and look at it!! It tastes as good as it looks!! The price is good. It is super easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to store. It's small and compact and doesn't take up a huge amount of space. We got the double bowl one because we have two kids and it's great. Hands down a summer fave!" —ShabanaPrice: $27.99 for the maker and two bowls (originally $39.99; also available with one bowl) — and shop all the Dash deals here
An inflatable mattress for 31% off if you've been mulling over investing in one, so the next time the cousins spend the night, it'll be far comfier. Not that this will stop the giggles and get everyone off to sleep any faster....
And it'll hold up to 650 pounds!Promising review: "Ordered this for a sleepover and it's so easy to inflate, our 8-year-old can do it on her own. It's high enough for an adult to get on and off easily. It is sturdy and comes with a carrying case." —DLBPrice: $79.98 (originally $115.99)
A 10-pack of jumbo vacuum storage bags for 33% off so you can pack away some winter stuff and actually see what else you've got in your closet. They're also great for squeezing more stuff into your suitcase!
Promising review: "Does the job as described and does it well! Easy to follow instructions, the JUMBO size is what is pictured here with three memory foam pillows, perfect for travel with limited surface area space. Overstuffing initially could cause tears, but that's on you haha." —Niki NesnidalPrice: $19.99 (originally $29.99)
A set of lightweight packing cubes for up to 28% off to help you organize your fam's clothes for your upcoming beach weekend while saving you a bit of space. And you can eye what you've got in there so you don't have to unpack everything just to find a pair of shorts.
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: $17.99 (typically $24.99; available in 17 colors — not all colors on sale)
A 62-quart wheeled Coleman cooler for 20% off (tied for its lowest price ever) made to keep ice cold for up to five days. It'll be handy for a beach day but incredible for your family's annual camping trip.
Promising review: "Took ours camping, had us and three kids opening and closing it all week — ice still frozen by the end of the trip. Brought the cooler home, didn't get to unpack it until two days after the trip, opened it up and found a beer — Coors with the mountains still blue. So, for a total of six days outside in the heat (high was 89), it was still ice cold. Best money I've ever spent on a cooler. The lid doesn't stick, and the wheels make it so easy to tote around. We filled ours up to the top, fit eight Philly's, a pack of hot dogs, a pack of sausages, water, frozen water bottles, a total of 32 beers, chocolate bars (that didn't melt), 12 breakfast burritos, a pack of ham, and a pack of bologna. Compact, but it holds a lot. 10 out of 10." —Amazon CustomerPrice: $59.99 (originally $74.99)
A pair of pickleball paddles for 30% off so you can stop borrowing your neighbor's every time someone wants to play. (Perhaps it would be wise to pick up an extra pair to help sway some converts.)
Promising review: "These were my first pickleball paddles I ever purchased. I have had them for two years now, and they are still in great condition! I probably have played bout 50 games with them. The damage is minimal, but it is solely from my scraping the ground with them occasionally. I haven't had to use the extra band wraps, they are still intact. For a beginner, they work very well! My friends who have borrowed them like them as well. Worth the price point for sure!" —SarahPrice: $34.99 (originally $49.99)
A *folding* Adirondack-style chair for $30 off that you can load up in the car for your camping trip or just leave in the backyard for lazy summer evenings.
Promising review: "Love the quality of this product! Only thing is you might need someone else helping put it together because it is a little difficult to get the arms on alone but other than that super easy directions! Definitely will buy again! Might need more chairs for the backyard! Great quality for the price! Mom tested, Daughter approved!" —Amanda PalmerPrice: $99.99 (typically $129.99; available in eight colors)
A pair of flatform espadrille sandals for up to 26% off if you have a phobia of slide sandals (same) but need your old dogs to breathe this summer.
Promising review: "These shoes are true to size and are so comfy. I wore them for family pictures and was on my feet for a few hours straight, and my feet never hurt once." —LibbyPrice: $27.99+ (originally $37.99; available in 10 colors and women's sizes 5–11)
A Marshall Bluetooth speaker for 33% off (its lowest price yet) in case you need a speaker design that's also a vibe for all your summertime (indoor) hangs with pals.
Promising review: "It's hard to think there are any speakers 'better' than this one when you hear it. The sound quality is flawless, even at a super loud volume. I love the aesthetic. It not only looks great, it feels great quality to the touch. It's surprising how good the sound is from a speaker this size. Buy this for your room instead of the Marshall Stanmore and Marshall Woburn unless you plan on having the volume cranked for parties all the time. However, this one is pretty pricy, so if you want the same retro look as the Marshall speakers for about $100 cheaper, check out the brand Lonzuer on Amazon. Overall, this speaker is amazing for my bedroom, and I'd recommend it if you have the money." —Jake BeamanPrice: $199.99 (originally $299.99; available in two colors on sale)
A seven-piece modular sectional for up to $100 off because we're far enough into summer for you to realize that your current patio setup is severely lacking. It's made of high-quality wicker, has water-resistant cushions, and is easy to clean — all for the lowest price it's ever been.
Promising review: "I love this set and would most definitely purchase again! Its comfortable and the cushions are a soft material unlike others that are kinda crunchy feeling." —kate herronPrice: $499.99 (typically $599.99; available in 24 colors)

Amazon Shares Pay the Price of Remaining ‘Show-Me' Story With AI

(Bloomberg) -- In a stock market obsessed with artificial intelligence, Inc. is losing ground. A Photographer's Pipe Dream: Capturing New York's Vast Water System Chicago Schools Seeks $1 Billion of Short-Term Debt as Cash Gone A London Apartment Tower With Echoes of Victorian Rail and Ancient Rome Festivals and Parades Are Canceled Amid US Immigration Anxiety Princeton Plans New Budget Cuts as Pressure From Trump Builds The company's shares have been lagging the Nasdaq 100 Index for most of the year, and the gap has only widened in the two weeks since Amazon's July 31 earnings disappointment. The tech-heavy benchmark is up nearly 13% this year, more than twice Amazon's 5.5% gain. The shares are in the bottom half of Nasdaq 100 performers this year and they now trade near their biggest discount to the index on record, after spending most of the past two decades priced at a significant premium. Amazon is trading at about 26 times forward earnings estimates, compared with more than 27 times for the Nasdaq 100. The culprit for the latest decline was weaker-than-expected growth in Amazon's cloud-computing business, which sparked concerns that it's losing market share. It was one more concern for investors frustrated that Amazon's AI investments aren't doing enough to lift its financial results, the way they are for other tech giants like Microsoft Corp. and Meta Platforms Inc. Wall Street pros are even turning the company's traditional strength, the diversity of its businesses, against it, saying that Amazon's stock price is being held back by not being strictly an AI investment. 'For a lot of investors, Amazon just isn't a pure-play way to play a theme you believe in,' said Eric Clark, portfolio manager of the Rational Dynamic Brands Fund. 'People want purity in their investments. And if you want that, Amazon looks like a company that's watered down by all the different businesses.' Amazon still gets the majority of sales from e-commerce, but its aggressive investments in a wide range of businesses, from Amazon Web Services to Whole Foods, have long made the stock attractive to growth-minded investors. Last week, Amazon said it plans to more than double the number of cities where it offers same-day grocery deliveries. But with AI now dominating the conversation on Wall Street, that model is suddenly less appealing. While Amazon Web Services remains the leader in the business of renting computing power, its 17% revenue growth in the second quarter was dwarfed by smaller rivals. Sales at Microsoft's Azure unit were up 39% and Google Cloud's sales rose 32%. In addition to Microsoft and Meta, investors have bid up the shares of Oracle Corp. and CoreWeave Inc., which are investing heavily to beef up AI computing capacity. Oracle recently took another major step into AI computing services, cutting a deal with OpenAI last month to supply 4.5 gigawatts of additional data center power in the US, and its stock price is up almost 50% this year. Nvidia-backed CoreWeave, which provides cloud computing services, has seen its shares more than double since its March initial public offering. 'This new cohort of hyperscalers are going to be the companies we're talking about in five years time,' said Clare Pleydell-Bouverie, co-manager of the Liontrust Global Innovation team. 'We're not seeing the same AI induced acceleration' from Amazon. Still, many investors remain confident that Amazon's investments will pay off in the long run by improving efficiency and customer targeting across its businesses. The stock remains one of the most popular on Wall Street, with more than 90% of the 82 analysts who cover it rating it a buy — and none recommending selling. That's a higher buy percentage than Meta or Alphabet Inc., according to data compiled by Bloomberg. For Clark, Amazon looks 'under-appreciated' right now, but it's only a matter of time until its AI investments start boosting its bottom line, especially in cloud computing. 'It isn't a good idea to bet against AWS,' he said. Top Tech Stories Apple Inc. is expanding iPhone production in India at five factories, including a pair of recently opened plants, as it seeks to lessen its reliance on China for US-bound models. SoftBank Group Corp. agreed to buy $2 billion of Intel Corp. stock, a surprise deal to shore up a struggling US name while boosting its own chip ambitions. OpenAI is launching an affordable new subscription plan in India, seeking to expand its artificial intelligence offerings in one of the world's biggest internet service markets. Apple Inc. will no longer be forced to provide a so-called backdoor to American users' data to the UK government, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said Monday in a post on X. The Trump administration is in discussions to take a stake of about 10% in Intel Corp., according to a White House official and other people familiar with the matter, a move that could see the US become the beleaguered chipmaker's largest shareholder.

It's been a great summer of Yeti deals, and before it's all over, Amazon is offering some last-minute discounts on Yeti coolers and drinkware. If you're closing out summer with a road trip or need to stay hydrated when you head back to school or college, don't miss these sales! For starters, you can get the popular Yeti Rambler Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Tumbler (20 oz) on sale for $28 at Amazon.

Keep scrolling to see all my favorite Yeti deals! For more savings, see our Amazon promo codes coverage and the Nike footwear deals I'd shop from $35. While it lacks insulation, this Yonder water bottle is one of the best-looking drinkware options from Yeti in my opinion. Its transparent design and color-matched lid look super sleek and give you a clear view of how much of your favorite drink you have left. Plus, the straw cap means you can sip with ease. The simple joy of an iced cold brewsky (or soda) on a hot day is hard to beat. And this little insulator has space for exactly one standard-sized can of your favorite beverage. Better yet, it's double-walled and vacuum-sealed for maximum chilling power. Go ahead and make your friends jealous at the next tailgate or BBQ. The 20 oz Rambler Tumbler with a Magslider lid is now on sale for $28. It'll keep your favorite drinks on lock while still being easy to access! No handle to get in the way here, if you prefer to grip the cup itself. This Yeti Rambler holds 30 oz of liquid and also comes with a with a lid that has a MagSafe slider to eliminate the chance of spills. It also adds a barrier of protection for keeping drinks contained and preventing heat or cold from escaping. This Yeti Rambler Bottle comes with a color-matched straw lid, making it look seriously stylish. It fits 26 ounces of liquid but Yeti has designed it to fit easily in your backpack, meaning it's perfect to take along with you day to day. Yeti Travel Mug has a 30 oz capacity and a Stronghold lid to keep its contents safe and secure. It's also cup-holder friendly and has a handle at the side to make it easy to sip from. The 42oz Rambler Straw Mug is on sale for a nice 20% discount. With its large handle and straw, it's one of the most comfortable Yeti mugs to drink from and it has the capacity to keep you hydrated all day. This is an excellent deal if you want a reliable bottle to take on your travels. The Yeti Rambler is designed to keep your drinks hot and cold for hours on the move. It has a double-wall vacuum insulation and No Sweat design, so there is no condensation. In addition, they're dishwasher safe to save you time. How cool is this cocktail shaker? Not only do you have an insulated shaker to make cocktails wherever you are, you also get an extra drinking cup (if a friend tags along, for example). The lid is leak resistant so this could even double up as a water bottle. We can't forget out furry friends! This sturdy dog bowl holds 4 cups of enjoyment from kibble and water to prime cuts of meat. It's puncture-resistant, rust-resistant and slip-resistant. The bowl is just as dependable as your best friend! Keep your favorite bottle of white, rose or bubbles nice and cool, even on the hottest summer days, with this chic wine chiller. It features a no-slip grip on the bottom and is designed to accommodate most bottle shapes. This Yeti French Press has to be one of the most stylish ways to make a brew in the great outdoors. It has a 34 oz capacity and a GroundsControl Filter for the perfect cup of joe! Best of all, it'll keep its contents hot for hours, so no more cold coffee. In our Yeti Hopper M15 review we called this cooler a "go-to accessory this summer." We found it to be extremely effective at keeping its contents cool, and it can do so for up to 48 hours. It's also durable and comfortable to carry.
