The best Amazon Memorial Day 2025 deals to shop now
All of our recommendations are based on previous coverage and reporting, with a mix of editor favorite, brand bestsellers and expert-recommended picks. You don't need an Amazon Prime membership to shop the deals below.
This drink mix is ideal for people who have never tried an electrolyte powder before because it has a less pronounced taste than other brands, in our experience. I use it after tough workouts and pack it with me when I go on long-distance bike rides. This pack comes with 32 single serving sticks in berry, lemon, orange and watermelon flavors.
This isn't the lowest price we've seen for this portable charger, but is still a good deal for one of my favorite gadgets. I pack this power bank whenever I am going out — it saves me from the stress of having to worry about my phone dying on being stranded with my maps app. It has a 5.4-inch USB-C cable built-in to the battery itself, so you don't have to pack an extra cable with you to charge most devices.
This is Apple's most affordable iPad, and is perfect for all things entertainment: think streaming TV, movies, reading recipes and playing games. This latest model has a slightly larger screen, a speaker on each side for a stereo feel, and up to 10 hours of battery life.
NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio loves this face sunscreen for sensitive skin because it's free of heavy moisturizers that can clog pores or flare her rosacea -prone skin. I've been pairing it with the EltaMD UV Sport SPF sunscreen for these early summer days — both feel protective, easy to blend and aren't too heavy on my skin.
This is one of our favorite mattresses that ships in a box — it's made up of four foam layers that mix breathability, airflow, cushion and support. Godio uses a similar model from the brand, and loves that it strikes a middle ground between firm and soft, as her and her husband prefer different levels of mattress firmness.
These are some of the best value over ear headphones I've ever tested, and as NBC Select's tech reporter, that's saying something. The design looks and feels surprisingly comfortable and stylish. Plus, they have a full set of features, including noise cancelling, transparency, wired connectivity, Bluetooth multipoint, and up to 65 hours of battery life.
If you're looking for an even cheaper pair of over ear headphones, I recommend the Soundcore Life Q30, which are also on sale.
This Lego set is at its lowest price ever, and encourages imagination and freeform play. It includes 35 different colored bricks of all kinds, including windows, toy eyes, tires, wheels and baseplates. It comes in a large plastic bin that doubles as a storage box.
NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin has used this air purifier for years to help combat her dust and allergen sensitivity, plus dander from her two cats and small dog. This model is fit for rooms up to 361 square feet, making it a great fit for apartments. The HEPA filter lasts a full 12 months before needing replacement, longer than many competitors.
If you have an older TV that's running slowly or not loading smart TV apps anymore, you may be able to speed things up by plugging in a streaming device. This Amazon Fire TV Stick can download all your favorite streaming services and play content in 4K resolution. Plus, it can sync with your Amazon account to deliver notifications on things like Amazon deliveries.

Cisco projects upbeat quarterly revenue as AI fuels networking equipment demand

Aug 13 (Reuters) - Cisco Systems (CSCO.O), opens new tab forecast first-quarter revenue above Wall Street estimates on Wednesday, as the artificial intelligence boom boosted demand for its networking equipment from cloud customers. Hyperscale cloud investments are healthy and driving IT infrastructure financing, which sets up a good backdrop for Cisco. "Within the enterprise spending environment, there is incremental spending to beef up the infrastructure to accommodate AI, so that could potentially be another growth driver, especially with Cisco having such a big presence in the traditional enterprise market," Edward Jones analyst David Heger said. Big tech firms such as Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab, Amazon (AMZN.O), opens new tab and Alphabet (GOOGL.O), opens new tab are ramping up spending to ease capacity shortages that have limited their ability to meet AI demand, even after several quarters of multi-billion-dollar outlays. Cisco's AI infrastructure orders exceeded $800 million in the fourth quarter, bringing the total for fiscal 2025 to over $2 billion, more than double its original target, CEO Chuck Robbins said on a post-earnings call. The company has not seen any pull-forward in demand for products, but did note a small impact from tariffs in the quarter and during the fiscal year, he added. "We expect the sovereign AI opportunity to build momentum in the second half of fiscal 2026. Cisco will be a core system provider for these significant AI training and inference cluster build outs and integral to their development and eventual hyperscaling." Cisco has partnered with Humain, Saudi Arabia's state-backed AI company, and it will provide digital solutions for Bahrain's government information and telecommunications infrastructure. The company expects revenue to be between $14.65 billion and $14.85 billion for the first quarter, compared with analysts' average estimate of $14.62 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. Its revenue for the fourth quarter ended July 26 came in at $14.67 billion, compared with estimates of $14.62 billion. Networking product orders grew in the double digits during the quarter, driven by webscale infrastructure, switching, enterprise routing, industrial IoT and servers.

AI demand expected to boost electronics giant Foxconn's second-quarter profit

TAIPEI, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Taiwan's Foxconn ( opens new tab, the world's largest contract electronics maker, is expected to report on Thursday that second-quarter profit rose 14% on continued strong demand for artificial intelligence servers. Net profit for April-June for Apple's (AAPL.O), opens new tab top iPhone assembler and Nvidia's (NVDA.O), opens new tab server maker likely came in at T$39.8 billion ($1.33 billion), up from T$35.05 billion a year earlier. Foxconn, formally called Hon Hai Precision Industry, last month reported record second-quarter revenue on strong demand for AI products but cautioned about geopolitical and exchange rate headwinds. Global trade uncertainty could dim the prospects for its outlook this year, as it has a major manufacturing presence in China, though Washington and Beijing this week extended a tariff truce for another 90 days. Most of the iPhones Foxconn makes for Apple are assembled in China, but the bulk of those sold in the United States are now produced in India. The company is also building factories in Mexico and Texas to make AI servers for Nvidia. In its July sales report, Foxconn said while the third quarter should see on-year growth - the company does not provide numerical guidance - the impact of "evolving global political and economic conditions" would need continued close monitoring. Foxconn has also been looking to expand its footprint in electric vehicles, which the company sees as a major future growth generator, though that has not always gone smoothly. Earlier this month, Foxconn said it had struck a deal to sell a former car factory at Lordstown, Ohio, for $375 million, including its machinery, but said it would continue to use the site to make a broader range of products aligned with its strategic priorities. Foxconn has expanded beyond its traditional role as an iPhone assembler in other areas too. Last month it formed a strategic partnership with industrial motor maker TECO Electric & Machinery ( opens new tab to build data centres. Foxconn holds its earnings call at 3 p.m. (0700 GMT) in Taipei on Thursday, where it will also update its outlook for the year. Foxconn's shares have risen 7.9% so far this year, outperforming the broader Taiwan index's (.TWII), opens new tab 5.8% gain. ($1 = 30.0020 Taiwan dollars)

'Amazing' Tefal blender that left shoppers 'genuinely impressed' down by 43%

The Tefal Blendforce II Blender, now £39.99, offers power, versatility, and a sleek 2L glass jug for everyday cooking. Blenders have become an essential kitchen tool for those looking to prepare smoothies, soups, sauces, and more with minimal effort. The Tefal Blendforce II Blender aims to combine power, versatility, and ease of use, making it a practical choice for everyday cooking and healthy meal prep. Available on Amazon for £39.99, down 43% from its regular price of £69.99, the Tefal Blendforce II Blender comes in a sleek black finish with a 2-litre glass jug and 1.25-litre effective capacity. Its 800W motor drives four removable Powelix stainless-steel blades, designed for fast and efficient blending. Users can choose between two speeds or the pulse function, whether crushing ice, making smoothies, or blending hot soups. The thermal shock-resistant glass jug handles temperatures up to 80°C, while the built-in air cooling system keeps the motor from overheating. A 3-in-1 smart lock simplifies assembly, secures the blades automatically, and allows safe cleaning, while suction cups keep the unit stable during use. For those looking at alternatives, the Philips HR2041/01 ProBlend 1.9L Plastic Jug Blender is available for £30 at Argos with a 4.4-star rating from 1,127 reviews. Another option is the Ninja BN495UK 2 Piece Auto IQ Personal Blender, priced at £100 at Argos and rated 4.8 from 532 reviewers. While these models offer similar functionality, the Tefal Blendforce II is noted for its glass jug and robust Powelix blades, giving it a unique edge for some users. Customer feedback reflects a generally positive response with some caveats. One reviewer shared, 'I wasn't expecting too much at this price point, but I've been genuinely impressed. Assembly was straightforward, and it's surprisingly quiet when running, much quieter than my old one. The juice comes out smooth, with very little pulp.' Another added, 'Amazing blender, heavy glass jug, sturdy and well put together. Two speeds and pulse. Great for smoothies and soups. Very versatile, easy to clean, dishwasher safe. Highly recommended.' Daily users also praised its performance: 'Used daily to make smoothies, easily blends frozen fruit, mixes well. It's a little loud but then again you're blending frozen fruits. Good value for breakfast protein smoothies before the gym.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

On top of that, the plastic cover at the base broke just a few days after purchase.' Another reviewer warned about its limitations: 'This is good if you're making a full smoothie or something similar. It's terrible for making pesto. Don't expect much from this blender. I'm buying another more powerful one.' Overall, the Tefal Blendforce II Blender offers a reliable and versatile blending experience for smoothies, soups, and general kitchen tasks, although some users note durability and performance limitations with certain ingredients.
