Shift workers call this Crock-Pot electric lunch box the 'most convenient little thing ever' — and it's on sale ahead of Amazon Prime Day

Yahoo26-06-2025
Bringing a cold sandwich or soggy salad to work day after day can start to feel a little sad. After all, there's nothing like a hearty soup or yummy casserole when lunchtime rolls around. We have good news: There's no reason for ho-hum on-the-go meals with the popular Crock-Pot Electric Lunch Box, which happens to be on sale ahead of Amazon Prime Day 2025.
Quick shop:
You can score this little gadget for $30-$32 ahead of Prime Day '25 — it has a respected brand name and thousands of perfect ratings to back it up.
Not sure what an electric lunch box is? This simple but brilliant 20-ounce gadget is kind of like a mini slow cooker, but it's designed to warm up your food, not cook it. It's perfect for people who want to better preserve the flavour of their soup or leftovers — or for folks without ready access to a microwave.
Inside the warmer is a metal bowl that holds your food. The lid on the inner bowl (along with the outer lid) minimizes spills and leaks when you're out and about, while the handle makes toting it a snap.
Just plug this baby in 45 minutes before lunchtime and open it up to reveal a warm, comforting meal.
There are no buttons to push — just a detachable cord that wraps around the base for easy storage. Plug it in about 45 minutes before you're ready to eat, and you'll have a hot meal when it's time to break for lunch.
This electric lunch box is adored by hundreds of five-star reviewers, including teachers and truckers.
"I bought this for my significant other because I felt bad packing him sandwiches for lunch daily," shared a thoughtful spouse. "I love that there is an inner lid to prevent leaks. I like that it separates from the heating element so I don't have to worry about damaging it."
"I am a teacher with only a 20-minute lunch period, and there are three microwaves in a building for 80 people," wrote a delighted educator. "I absolutely love that I can have hot soup right at my desk. I leave the warming part at work and just bring home the inner bowl and lid to wash every day."
You can also snag this nifty lunch companion in green.
"Most convenient little thing ever!" gushed an excited shopper. "I'm a local truck driver, and I work up to 12 hours in a day. It's nice to put leftovers in this and plug it into my inverter in the truck while I work, and have hot, tasty food by the middle of my shift."
"I am a special education teacher and a 25-minute lunch does not exist for most days, so [having] my lunch all heated up when I need it is great," said a final fan. "Works well, food is nice and hot; my only complaint (and it is not a big deal), [is that] the cord is kinda short. Perfect portion control — if you are tired of waiting by the microwave at work, get this product!"
"Very high quality and versatile product," said this reviewer. "Compact and easy to pack for trips."
However, some products say that the lifespan of this is on the shorter side.
You can't go wrong with classic black.
"This is [a] fun product for lunches," said one shopper. "But I've been noticing it hasn't been very fast at heating things up after a year now. That being said it has been well used."
Some shoppers have also said that it doesn't "seal well," — so you may want to be careful depending on what you're cooking.
This small-but-mighty gadget is an affordable way to get hot meals on the go, especially at its current early Prime Day sale price. However, keep in mind that some shoppers say that it doesn't seal well — so you may want to be careful with what you pack it with.

Redditor's ‘gross' new mattress is making me itch — what to do if your bed is delivered damaged

The natural response after unboxing a mattress is the primal urge to jump on the bed. But Reddit user DomenicGioffre had an altogether more nightmarish experience when unboxing their Prime Day mattress purchase. Describing the bed as "gross", they posted pictures of their new mattress displaying tell-tale signs of water damage and mold, despite being fresh out the box. "Horrifying!", from user Proof_Ad663, just about sums it up. A mattress will grow mold or mildew when moisture becomes trapped within the layers. This can be the result of spills and accidents, but it occurs during everyday use as sweat becomes absorbed by the mattress. For that reason, we recommend regularly airing your mattress. When you change your sheets, leave the mattress uncovered for several hours to allow moisture to dissipate. This prevents mildew building up during regular use. But while user Quintaneous suggests the damaged mattress has been handily "broke in", we think this is a case of manufacturer error. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. It's likely moisture got into the mattress either during the assembly process —boxing a mattress takes a lot of steps — or when the boxed bed sat in a warehouse waiting for delivery. These kinds of issues are rare — we test a lot of beds to find the best mattresses for all sleep styles (including Zinus mattresses, the brand behind the bed in question) and problems are few and far between. Even Reddit users have chimed in with their own positive Zinus mattress experiences (Moneymaker_Film says "I got the green tea one it's amazing and brand new" while GarnetandBlack describes their new Zinus as "pristine.") However, if you've unboxed your mattress to find something "beyond unusable," as jjopm describes, you'll need a way out of this nightmare. It's hard to identify if a mattress in a box is damaged until it's out of the packaging (although if the box or packaging appears compromised, halt set up until you can contact customer services.) Once unboxed, returning a mattress is a trickier process. Particularly if you've ordered from Amazon or other third-party retailers, which are less likely to offer a mattress warranty period. A warranty should cover any damage to your mattress, so follow these steps immediately after identifying the problem: Then the next problem: actually returning the mattress. Often a brand doesn't want the bed back, as it can't be resold, which means you need to get rid of it. But if they do want it back, we recommend getting a mattress bag and arranging a courier for collection. Otherwise, you'll need to dispose of the mattress. In cases of damage, it's unlikely you'll be able to donate or recycle the bed. Our guide to mattress disposal can help you find the right path to take. Reddit user wwydinthismess suggest if this happens to you, it's time to: "clean your apartment like crazy. You might have bed bugs now." However, bed bugs don't care if your bed is clean or dirty— the perfect mattress for a bed bug to thrive in is essentially any mattress that smells like their food source (bad news: that's you.) But if you're still feeling a little itchy, you might want to check for signs of bed bugs, to ensure no pests have been delivered to your bedroom. Bed bugs love the dark, so begin by checking in the cracks and crevices. Bed bug glue traps can help you identify an infestation before it gets going, while a diatomaceous earth barrier can keep pests from your mattress.

Amazon Prime Day ends soon. I found the best outdoor deals to transform your backyard or garden

The fourth and final day of Amazon's summer Prime Day sale is coming to a close, but there are still tons of shop-worthy Amazon deals to check out, especially if you're on the lookout for backyard essentials. This includes big discounts on lawn care supplies, gardening tools, grilling must-haves and more. In looking through the deals, I saw a few CNN Underscored editor favorites, as well as Amazon bestsellers with near-perfect ratings. Whether you're in the market for a tilt-head patio umbrella that provides plenty of shade or a new Weber grill, this comprehensive list of the best Prime Day deals has you covered on what to snag for less in these last few hours. Colwelt Saw-Tooth Lawn Edger When we asked lawn care experts for their top-recommended gardening tools, one of them highlighted this nifty edger, which allows you to seamlessly create borders in between your lawn and gardens. The edger has a long handle, so you don't have to bend down while you work, as well as a large foot plate so you don't slip as you step down on the base. Bye-bye, backaches! Jvgoo Garden Hose Holder A rust-resistant organizer that keeps your garden hose out of the way and adds a touch of vintage charm to your yard? Yes, please! This hose holder is totally freestanding thanks to the five anchor stakes at the bottom, and it can accommodate a hose of up to 150 feet long. At the top, the holder has two hooks for bird feeders, lanterns, bug repellent devices or other accessories. Grampa's Weeder Stand-Up Weed-Puller Tool Pulling weeds can make your back ache, but this is another great weeding tool that does the job while you stand. Some reviewers even say it makes the task fun! Just place it over the weed, press down on the footpad and lean the tool to pull it out. It's as easy as that. Drincosh 130-Foot Retractable Hose This 130-foot garden hose has a tear-resistant outer layer and auto-rewind design, which prevents tangles and kinks, helping it last longer. Currently at its lowest price ever, the hose is a hit with Amazon customers, thanks to its functionality, easy installation process and sleek design. Xlux Soil Moisture Meter Overwatering can be deadly for plants. With this soil moisture meter, you won't have to worry about that. The easy-to-read device displays the moisture level in one second. The best part is, it doesn't require any batteries. Walensee Stand-Up Weed Puller If you prefer not to use chemical products for weeding, try this tool instead. It lets you manually extract weeds from the ground without even having to bend down. Our director of product design loves how ergonomic the tool is and said it's so easy to use, his 5-year-old son can do our review Flexon 150-Foot Farm & Ranch Garden Hose Currently at its lowest price ever, this 150-foot garden hose is practically guaranteed to hold up amid years of use because of its commercial-grade rubber and vinyl construction. It's also designed not to get tangles or kinks, so you can use it comfortably throughout your yard without having to stop watering at any point. If you prefer a shorter hose, this one is also available in a 100-foot length. Sweetcrispy Collapsible Wagon Transport your gardening tools throughout your yard without having to lug them when you buy this utility wagon. It can hold up to 360 pounds, thanks to its metal frame, and it collapses flat for easy storage in your garage or car. Really, you can use the wagon anywhere, whether you're grocery shopping, hanging out at the beach or heading to a picnic in the park. Right now it's at its lowest price ever. Grenebo 9-Piece Heavy-Duty Garden Tools Set Keeping all your tools organized is one of the hardest parts of gardening, which is why I've had my eye on this clever bag. It comes with nearly all the handheld tools you'll need, all with perfectly positioned storage options. Yaheetech Outdoor Potting Bench Score this potting bench in gray for up to 40% off. It measures just 45 inches across, but it offers plenty of storage space for gardening tools and supplies. In addition to its four surfaces, the potting bench features three side hooks, a drawer and a removable plastic sink. Kärcher Pressure Washer K1700 If your driveway or concrete patio has seen better days, it might be time to invest in a pressure washer. At $126 off, this one is a decent deal, and Amazon reviewers largely agree that it's great for cleaning smaller areas, not to mention powerful despite its easily portable size. When you order the Kärcher pressure washer, your purchase also comes with a gun, a 20-foot hose and three nozzles for optimal precision. The machine's never-flat tires and cable wrap allow you to maneuver it with ease, too. Melnor Turbo 2-Way Adjustable Oscillating Sprinkler Keep your lawn in top condition with this oscillating sprinkler, which can cover up to 4,500 square feet at a time. That said, you can adjust it to cover a smaller area, like a garden, with the precision nozzles and water-width indicators. With more than 2,000 of them bought in the past month, this product is a top Amazon pick. Sunday Green Machine Fertilizer, 2-Pack Grass looking a little yellow? Eliminate that problem with this toxin-free fertilizer, which comes in a pack of two and is 20% off. You only have to apply it every four to six weeks, meaning a greener lawn is only a couple of sprays away. EasyFlex No-Dig 15-Foot Landscape Edging Kit Highlight your flower beds and manicured bushes with this 15-foot edging kit. It comes with spikes designed to look like stones, so they won't detract from your landscaping aesthetic. Right now, the kit is cheaper than it's ever been on Amazon. Senix X6 Self-Propelled Electric Lawn Mower This electric lawn mower exceeded our expectations when testing different models. Notably, it's incredibly lightweight, especially considering how powerful it is. At the moment, it's at its lowest price in 30 days too, so you definitely don't want to pass up this our review Ego Power+ LM2112 Cordless Lawn Mower Cutting grass is toughest in the summer, so you'll want to make sure you have a mower that's well-equipped for the job.

No matter what you're whipping up, they'll allow you to easily rotate the food for even cooking on all sides. The baskets are under $20, so don't wait.

It's $70 off right now, which means you can finally splurge and start making ribs, brisket and more yourself. Demiwise Reusable Grill Mats, 6-Pack When it comes to cleaning your grill, we have a whole list of the best grill brushes for the job. But sometimes, you feel lazy, and we get that too. That's where these barbecue liners come in handy. You can order a pack of six reusable fiberglass mats for just $10 right now and slap a couple on top of your grill grates for even cooking. When you're done, you can hand-wash the liners or put them in the dishwasher and use them again. Better still, your grill will stay looking new for longer. Home-Complete 7-Piece Stainless Steel Barbecue Cooking Utensils Set Speaking of grilling tools, this seven-piece grilling utensil set is discounted by nearly 30% for Prime Day, and everything comes in a shiny aluminum carrying case for headache-free storage. With this purchase, you get two skewers, a grill brush, tongs, a knife and fork and a three-in-one spatula with — get this — a built-in bottle opener. With this set, you'll feel like a bona fide grill master all summer (and beyond!). ThermoWorks Thermapen One Make sure your burgers are grilled to the right temperature with this editor-favorite meat thermometer. It has an impressively fast read time and an easy-to-read display, not to mention an ergonomic design and adjustable probe. Our testers deemed it worth every penny, which is even more true now that it's on our review Weber Spirit E-210 Propane Grill Weber makes some of the best grills, and you can buy this propane model at its lowest price ever. Currently $150 off, the Spirit E-210 heats food evenly and quickly and boasts a rust- and peel-proof construction. What's more, it has a bunch of built-ins that make using the grill a breeze. These include side rails for handy ingredient storage, easily removable grease trays and four tool hooks that keep your tongs accessible at all times. Ninja Woodfire Pro XL Outdoor Grill and Smoker Score a discount on Ninja's 4-in-1 tabletop grill and smoker, and experience the same capabilities of a full-size propane grill without sacrificing a big chunk of backyard space. The Woodfire Pro XL can grill, air fry, bake and smoke; plus, it can accommodate 10 burger patties at once. We tried the Woodfire 8-in-1 oven, and our tester praised its versatility, as well as the smoky flavor it gave different foods. Coleman Classic 3-Burner Propane Camping Stove If you want to save on food during your upcoming road trips, a camping stove is essential. This one from Coleman will make you look forward to not spending at restaurants. It has three adjustable burners, and despite measuring just 26 inches across and 19 inches deep, it can fit two full-size pans at the same time. We spoke to a chef who likes a similar portable Coleman grill, so we highly recommend the brand's offerings. And right now, the green color is $25 below its average Amazon sale price. Grilltough Heavy-Duty 58-Inch Grill Cover If you do end up buying a new grill this Prime Day, you'll want to take good care of it so it lasts a long time. That means buying a grill cover, like this 58-inch waterproof number. It has adjustable straps so you can easily secure it over your specific grill model, and it's currently a great deal at more than 40% off. There are also many other sizes on sale if you're looking for different specs. Thermacell E-Series 9-Hour Rechargeable Mosquito Repeller Our staffers are longtime fans of Thermacell's E-Series mosquito repellers, and once you experience the pest-banishing power of this tiny device, you'll love it too. It works by spraying a human- and dog-safe repellent into the air, which keeps mosquitoes away from its 20-foot radius. Our tester described the device as being roughly the size of a softball, so it's no hassle to bring along on your next camping trip or rooftop hang. If there's one summer must-have on this list, this is it. Read our review Alepod Solar Pathway Lights, 8-Pack Whether you want to show off your garden or make it easier to see when walking to your porch at night, these pathway lights are a smart buy. They have three adjustable lighting modes and come in a pack of eight for under $40. Gulaki Portable Neck Fan If you find yourself burning up while trying to lounge outdoors, it's time to get a neck fan. We tested different models and crowned this one as our winner because of its impressive battery power and speed settings. Use our code TOCNNFANS for an exclusive discount on the black color for this editor favorite. Cutter Backwoods Dry Insect Repellent Our top pick for the best DEET bug spray is discounted this Prime Day.

Read our review Flux Phenom Magnetic Screen Door Keep the bugs out but let the air in with this easy-to-install magnetic screen door. Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 Amazon Exclusive Bundle This bundle not only includes one of our favorite fire pits of all time, but also comes with a stand, a lid and a cover to level-up your fireside experience.

This one is a great deal at more than half off, and it has a bunch of enticing features, including built-in solar-powered LED lights, a tilting canopy and a vented design that promotes airflow. Greesum Outdoor Sofa When we asked design experts for their top-recommended patio furniture pieces, one named this comfortable and convenient convertible sofa, which is an especially fabulous choice for small outdoor spaces. The daybed has three configurations: one for sitting like a regular couch, one for reclining and one for lying flat. If you only have space for one piece of seating but don't want to sacrifice versatility, this sofa is for you. And currently, it's at the lowest price it's ever been on Amazon. Bilt Hard Oscillating Pedestal Misting Fan Cool down your outdoor seating area with a misting fan. This powerful cooling fan is currently at its lowest Amazon price ever. It has an adjustable pedestal base and an oscillating feature, so whether you need something for your outdoor dining table or for your entire deck, the versatile model has you covered. Anker Solix C300 DC Power Bank Station One of the best deals I've seen this Prime Day, the Anker Solix C300 is the perfect balance of power and portability. If the lights go out, you can keep essentials powered whether you're bunkering down or you're on the go. Right now you can get it for $100 off. Read our review GCI Outdoor Freestyle Rocker with Side Table Camping Chair The rocking feature of this chair gives it next-level comfort, making it the perfect backyard companion. Plus, it has a side table for drinks and snacks. Sunnydaze Rope Hammock With Stand Nothing beats relaxing in a hammock when the weather is nice. While most hammocks need to be strung up between two trees, this one comes with its own stand so it can easily be set up anywhere in your backyard. Bestway Steel Pro 13-Foot-By-32-Inch Rectangular Above Ground Pool Take a quick dip in this above-ground pool that's 25% off this Prime Day. Featuring a sturdy steel frame and a 1,506-gallon capacity, it'll be easy to stay cool this summer. Shintenchi Wicker Patio Sectional and Coffee Table Set On sale for under $200, this stylish outdoor sectional set is at its lowest price ever. The brown PE wicker frame is not only easy on the eyes, but it's also durable and weather-resistant. What's more, the wicker hides a solid metal structure, which makes the sectional super sturdy for lounging. Ivory fade-resistant cushions round out the design and pop nicely against the dark frame. Finally, you get a matching glass-top coffee table that's nice for storing phones, snacks and beverages. Ciays Propane Fire Pit There's something about sitting around the best fire pit during outdoor chats that makes the environment feel infinitely cozier. This Prime Day, you can save on this 32-inch square model, which features a sleek steel design and stainless steel burner. The fire pit comes with lava rocks for fast heating, but you do have to buy the propane tank separately. Oh, and how nice are the two built-in cup holders? Serwall 7-Piece Outdoor Dining Set Take your outdoor dinners to the next level with a proper dining set like this one. Its gray weatherproof material mimics the appearance of wood and looks modern. The 67-inch table also offers plenty of surface area for big parties and has an umbrella hole. Get the set on sale in time for your next summer hang. Jackery Solar Generator 3000 Pro If you've ever wanted to buy a power station with solar panels, now is definitely the time. This kit from Jackery is an incredible 55% off, so you can keep all your devices and appliances powered, whether you're off the grid or your power is out. Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station One of the hottest Prime Day deals of the year, this Jackery portable power station is a steal at 50% off. DuroMax XP13000EH Dual-Fuel Portable Generator When emergencies strike and the power goes out, having a backup generator can be a literal lifesaver. This one can run off of propane or gasoline to keep your home powered. We've made sure to include a wide variety of products that'll both make your backyard look better (hello, garden hoses and lawn mowers) and feel more comfortable (cushy outdoor sofas, anyone?). With these picks, you'll be able to tidy and organize your space and then entertain your loved ones once the chores are checked off the list. The best part is, many of these products have either been tested and approved by our editors or by experts we've interviewed. Personally, I've been covering Amazon Prime Day home deals for the past three years, so I made sure to throw in products from top brand names like Weber and Ninja, which have been popular with both editors and readers, in my experience.

Take It From Someone Who Lives Multiple Cats, You Don't Want To Miss These Prime Day Deals

Amazon Prime Day is here! There are more deals than you could ever begin to look through on your that's where we come in. 49% off a self-cleaning automatic litter box that'll clean up after your kitty so you don't have to (because scooping gets real old, REAL fast). It'll help keep your home smelling fresh *and* keep your cat happy, because (like us humans) they prefer to use a clean "toilet." Reviewers vouch for this as a nice alternative to the much pricier Litter Robot, AND it comes with a lifetime warranty. The best deal is for this bundle with the gray litter box, which comes with a three-pack of litter bags to get you started — nice!Promising review: "I'm absolutely loving this litter box. I've had THE Litter Robot for 4 years and I purchased this item a month ago. This one is so quiet and it takes up about half the space. My cats love it. I love that it's so much easier to remove the bag. Since the entry is so much lower to the ground the cats don't 'grab' when they jump out like with the other box so there's less mess around the opening of the box. Also this has a lifetime warranty and my other box only had a year. I've purchased a new globe for the old box which was almost the cost of the new box. Oh yeah, and the cost is a lot less than the Litter Robot! I've already recommended this item to my other cat parent friends." —Christine $197.58 (typically $389.99; best deal is on the bundle) — and shop all Pet Cove deals here Or 37% off another well-rated automatic litter box sporting a spacious, open-top design that won't make them feel trapped while doing their business — now your anxious kitty who jumps at the slightest noise can keep a 360-degree of their surroundings, and you can still reap the benefit of being waaay lazier about scooping (just empty the waste drawer every 1–2 weeks as needed)! Promising review: "I can't stress enough how much this litter box has changed my life. It's incredible. I'll literally never scoop litter again. My cats love it too. I chose this over the Litter Robot 4 because it's easier to clean and I just love the open design. The setup takes less than five minutes as it comes assembled (just put the legs on) in the box. And you can literally derp clean this thing and have it back to normal in 5 minutes too. If you're on the fence, look no further." —Thelu's KnobPrice: $379.99 (originally $599.99) Up to 56% off a Furbo Cat Camera, which rotates 360 degrees with HD video quality (and even night vision) so you can check in on your kitty and give them treats while you're away! You can even speak to them using the two-way audio feature, and you can receive activity alerts for things like meowing, vomiting (!!), and humans being around (so you'll know when your cat sitter finally drops by). Note that certain features are added with the optional $6.99/month Furbo Cat Nanny subscription (slightly cheaper if you choose to be billed annually), including the real-time alerts and video history. Without the subscription, you can still check the live view, interact via two-way audio, play with them using the attached feather toy, and toss treats. Promising review: "I got the Furbo Cat Camera to help me watch my cat, Morse, when I'm out of the house, because he's a rescue cat and has some behavioral issues. It's been a godsend to just open the app and see what he's doing, no matter where I am — if he's up to mischief, I distract him with a treat or speak to him through the camera. Morse also enjoys batting the attached feather toy, and the ability to rotate the camera back and forth definitely makes it a more intriguing game for him. I love being able to entertain him from afar; it's saved more than one houseplant already! Plus, the Meowing Alerts keep me clued in on his activity. He's not a very vocal cat, so meowing indicates there's something I should check in on. Highly recommend for cat parents looking for peace of mind and new ways to look after their pets." —ElissaPrice: $44 for the model that requires a 3-month-minimum subscription (originally $99), and $129 for the model that *doesn't* require a subscription (originally $210) 20% off a Feliway calming diffuser starter kit *with* an extra six months of refills, saving you $23 on the bundle. This stuff can be a game changer if you have cats who don't get along, whether one of them is new to the household or a life change has caused them to become aggressive. This plugs right into your wall and releases pheromones that mimic a nursing mother's, helping to not only calm cats down but also encourage social acceptance of each other. The starter kit gets you the diffuser head and one vial of Feliway, which lasts 30 days — and the Prime Day bundle gets you an extra six months of refills, so you'll be stocked for a while. Keep in mind that if you're introducing a new cat, you should *still* take proper precautions like keeping them separate for a while, doing smell introductions first, etc. Promising review (for the starter kit): "I can't express enough how much this has changed mine and my cats' lives. Merging two households wasn't easy on the cats. One male cat had a hard time moving into a new house with new pets. He had terrible behavior problems and would cause us and the other cats a lot of stress. His bullying led to the other two cats having health problems. He would get into moods where he would chase and attack the others and would not let up. We tried everything the vet suggested to reduce theses incidences, but getting Feliway was the only thing that worked. He is a completely different cat now. He is calm and his outbursts rarely happen. He has become a couch cat and has turned into the sweetest boy. The other cats aren't stressed anymore and neither are we. We have three diffusers in the three rooms we have had incidences in. It definitely has more of an affect on the male cats than the female. If you aren't noticing a difference with one diffuser I would suggest getting a second. We couldn't believe that this one product could fix everything, but it did. If he starts to act out again we check the diffusers, and sure enough, one of them will be out. If your cats are having any behavior problems or stress please try this!" —Kristine SpencerPrice: $91.97 (originally $114.98) — and shop all Feliway deals here 21% off (plus an extra 10% off coupon) an air purifier to help you manage indoor allergies from pet dander and those awful smells that waft around from the litter box — and if you've ever seen one of your cat's eyes watering, it's possible the poor thing could have allergies itself. This works quietly in the background to clean your air — all you have to do is replace the HEPA filter as needed! I picked this air purifier up a couple years ago to help manage the ~smell~ that sometimes wafts from my cats' litter box when it starts to get full, and to help keep my NYC apartment air cleaner in general. I'm also (lol) extremely allergic to cats, and though I get allergy shots for this, it's also nice to help cut down on the pet dander for myself and any visitors with allergies. This thing makes a DIFFERENCE. It cuts down on any noticeable smell from the cats, my air feels cleaner, and my allergies are usually non-existent in the apartment. Oh, and it's fairly quiet — it basically functions as white noise, which can be handy if you run this at night in the bedroom on your usage and environment, it's recommended to replace the filter every 3–6 months — replacements are available on Amazon. (You can see the difference between my old filter and a new replacement one above!) Note: Be sure to take the plastic off the filter before placing it in the unit!Price: $44.09 (typically $61.99; available in two colors — click "redeem" on the 10% off coupon for the full discount)Alternate deal! It's slightly more expensive, but if a Levoit air purifier has been on your wishlist, you can snag one for 22% off for Prime Day ($69.97, the lowest price it goes for). 30% off a chic, modern Mau cat tower (only a few bucks more than it was during Black Friday) — direct discounts on Mau products are rare, so jump on it if you're looking for a small but high-quality tree that's built to last. Mau trees are made with real wood (they're handcrafted from literal tree branches, so every piece is one of a kind), and they sell replacement parts for everything, unlike so many cheap cat products you eventually have to just toss. Plus, it won't clash with your home's aesthetic. I have a different Mau cat tree (one not sold on Amazon) and absolutely love it, as do my cats! It's one of those upgrades that once you make, there's no looking back — I hope to pick up a second one of their trees in the future!Promising review: "Really aesthetically pleasing kitty tower. This would go well with any modern or boho decor. The platforms are plush and cushioned well and a true white. Perfect height by my bedroom window where I wanted something nicer looking than the usual cat tower. This really fit the bill! Plus, it feels very sturdy — the wooden tree sections are pretty heavy, and both my cats were able to stand on it without any wobbling at all." —GigiPrice: $132.30 (originally $189; deal available for two colors) 25% off (plus an extra 7% off coupon) the *iconic* ChomChom pet hair roller — for the uninitiated, this cleaning product traps pet hair inside without the use of any sticky tape, and it works wonders on fur-covered couches and chairs. Full disclosure, this definitely isn't the best deal we've ever seen on the ChomChom during Prime Day, but it is cheaper than its everyday Amazon price — so if you're *struggling* with pet hair covering everything you own, you may as well snag this while the tens of thousands of 5-star Amazon reviews are reason enough to add the ChomChom to your cart immediately, let me add my own personal review to the stack. I've been using the ChomChom for quite a while now and took the photos above to show just how quick, easy, and effective this roller is. It took 10 seconds to rid my velvet couch ottoman (yes, velvet...a terrible cat owner choice, I know) of the hair my two gray kitties are constantly leaving everywhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside. The ChomChom is best for large flat surfaces like couches and $17.43 (typically $24.99; available in two colors — click "redeem" on the 7% off coupon for the full discount) — and shop all ChomChom deals here Up to 30% off a bottle of Zesty Paws Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil, which adds essential fatty acids to wet or dry food so they can have the most luscious, shiny coat. Reviewers say it also helps with shedding! Promising review: "My kitty loves this stuff!! I squirt a little on top of her food, and she makes sure to lick it all off before even thinking about taking a bite out of her pâté! My main purpose for purchasing this was to relieve my kitty's constant shedding!! She's a short to medium haired cat, but no matter how much I brush her, the shedding is relentless! I've only been using this oil for a week, but I've already noticed a HUGE improvement after adding this oil to her diet and switching her to wet food!! There's still some minor shedding, but nowhere near as much as before, so I'm grateful!! I haven't experienced the texture issues with the oil that others have mentioned. My oil came with a pump, and the texture has remained loose, smooth, and oily." —TytiannaPrice: $20.97 for a 16-ounce bottle (originally $29.97; also available in a smaller size) — and shop all Zesty Paws deals here 53% off a cat DNA test (it's from Shark Tank!) that'll unlock a whole new world of info about your cat, like whether that gray baby is actually a Russian Blue or some kind of mix. It'll also give info on health markers and traits your cat is likely to have based on their breed — so now you'll know *why* your kitty is so uniquely lovable! Promising review: "I purchased this kit because I have an 18-pound green-eyed, long-haired cat, whom everyone asks me about. 'Is she a Maine Coon?' 'Is she part Maine Coon?' I had no idea as to her lineage, as I found her struggling for her survival on the street and had no idea who her parents were. She turned out not to be a Maine Coon, but showed similar ancestry to rag dolls. Believable, as she's very people-friendly and almost acts like a dog. However, the most important part of this test is the health reports. I've sent a copy to her veterinarian, so that we can be on the lookout for anything she may be predisposed to and to have the vet give suggestions as to how to avoid certain outcomes. I'm very happy with the test and recommend it to anyone with concerns about their cat's health or curiosity about their lineage." —MadoucPrice: $74.99 (originally $159) 34% off a Bissell Little Green carpet and upholstery cleaner if cat stains and accidents are part of your daily life, and you've almost given up on that one rug they seem to have designated "the puke spot." This TikTok-beloved cleaner is a holy grail product for many pet parents, capable of sucking out stubborn stains as well as dust, dirt, and fur. It's *your* house, not the cats' — time to reclaim your furniture and floors. Yes, that's cat diarrhea on the reviewer's nice white rug above. The Bissell truly works review: "I found the Little Green machine because of a TikTok video; someone was cleaning their car seats and the water was absolutely disgusting, so obviously I was like I HAVE TO TRY THIS. So I ordered one and it was everything I ever hoped and more! We have three cats in the house whose favorite pastimes are puking, peeing, and occasionally stepping in their own poop and running across the only carpeted room in the entire house, you know how cats are. Anyway, this thing works SO well it tackles all of that and every other mess I've made to date! It's small enough it doesn't feel like a huge hassle to store it or pull it out, but also holds enough water I don't have to constantly run to refill it. I think it might be magic and I have a slightly unhealthy attachment to it at this point. I'm not sure if its always the case, but the box came with a coupon for two containers of the cleaner through Bissell too, which was a huge bonus!" —StephaniPrice: $81.99 (originally $123.59) $10 off a Wi-Fi-enabled automatic food dispenser to eliminate any lingering worries over if you've fed your fur baby or not. The 5-liter model can store about *5 pounds* of pet food, which can last cats up to 20 days (aka you won't have to refill it constantly). And you can program their meals from anywhere using a smartphone app! Promising review: "We are vacationing for a month in Arizona and wanted an automatic feeder for our cat in case our cat sitter couldn't get to our house. We can add an extra feeding remotely. We are very pleased with our purchase. We can easily adjust the amounts and times of feeding, even from a thousand miles away. When the cat hears the voice say 'mealtime,' she comes running. We are able to control her diet because we aren't arbitrarily feeding her." —Jan DPrice: $59.49 for the black feeder (typically $69.34; also available in another color and other models on sale at different discounts) 45% off a top-entry litter box discreet enough to place in multiple rooms if you have more than a few cats and really need to make sure they have ~options~. The grooved lid at the top helps remove leftover litter particles from your cat's paws as they climb out, and if you have a dog in the house who likes to go digging in litter boxes, this design can also keep them out of your cats' poop spots. Reviewers say it works for both small and bigger cats alike! One reviewer's tip: Make sure the side without the grooved lid is facing a wall so that cats can't jump out that way (the grooved side is what prevents litter tracking).Note that if you have a senior cat with limited mobility, you'd want to provide a litter box with low, easy access for that review: "We have three cats and have to manage a silly amount of cat politics. We've learned that having a higher number of litter boxes, and spread to multiple locations, cuts way down on bullying and helps cats to feel safe, [as they are] instinctively territorial about where they put their scent and feel vulnerable when they're 'in the act'. This cat box helps to be able to have boxes in rooms of the house where a cat box would feel garish, not to mention the litter mess. It took a little while for my cats to try it out, but they're using it now and don't get to kick the gravel out everywhere (I swear they do it on purpose)." —DismPrice: $24.96 for the white and beige style (originally $44.99) 20% off a double-layered litter mat because of the sheer volume of litter being tracked out of the litter box on a daily basis. It has a honeycomb design that catches and traps litter so it doesn't scatter across your floor. You can then press in on the sides to open up the mat and dump the trapped litter back into your litter box, or slide it into the trash can, whichever you prefer! I've been using this trapper mat for ages now, and while it's pretty much impossible to eliminate all litter from your home if you own even one cat, let alone multiple, this mat has made keeping the floor of my litter box room MUCH more manageable. Unlike other mats, where the litter just kind of sits on top and eventually gets kicked elsewhere, this mat is designed so that the litter falls through the holes and stays inside the mat until you're ready to dump it. It's made out of an EVA material that's supposed to be gentle enough for cat paws, and my two kitties don't seem to have a problem walking on it. I *highly* recommend getting the larger 30-by-24-inch mat to extend the coverage area (and thankfully, it's a little cheaper right now for Prime Day) — I initially got the smaller one but went back for the larger size, and it's perfect. Note that the mat will probably have a fold down the middle when it first arrives, but just give it some time and weigh it down with something if needed; it'll lay $19.99 for the larger size (originally $24.99; available in three colors) 20% off an Uproot carpet rake, aka the extra-long version of their popular pet hair removal tool — this version lets you tackle your carpets and rugs without having to kneel or bend over and covers a larger surface area faster (the dual-sided edge and telescopic handle make it so easy). It's infinitely reusable, so it's worth the upfront cost (especially while it's on sale) if your home is covered in pet hair. It's a good idea to use this before you vacuum! This gets out embedded hair that even a vacuum can't reach. Just avoid using on delicate knits and fabric — it's meant for sturdier things like carpets, rugs, stairs, couches, cat towers, and review: "I love this brush. I have two dogs that shed a LOT. I am always vacuuming but felt like I wasn't getting it all out of the carpet. I used this brush and essentially got a small dog's worth of hair out of the carpet that otherwise looked clean. It works so easy to pull up hair that you otherwise wouldn't see. It's easy to clean because you just pull off any hair that sticks to it. The quality is great, and even with some aggressive scraping, I haven't had it bend on me. It's easy to store; I just hang it in my laundry room with my other brooms and pull it out a couple of times a week before I vacuum. This is the BEST pet hair tool out there." —TonyPrice: $39.98 (originally $49.99) — and shop all Uproot Clean deals here 25% off some Churu chicken-flavored bisque (matching its lowest-ever price from Black Friday) — if your cat goes wild for their popular squeeze tube treats (and I've yet to meet a cat who doesn't), they'll love this delectable side dish that's packed with moisture and gourmet flavors. The Churu deals on the whole are not great this Prime Day, featuring only slight markdowns on their everyday Amazon price — *but* this one saves you a few bucks per 12-pack, which is pretty decent! Like their squeeze tube treats, this bisque is intended to be used as a side dish, topper, or treat, not as a meal review: "My two cats are total Churu fans, and this bisque has been an absolute favorite! They go wild for the tuna flavor, and I love that it has a mild scent that doesn't overpower the room. The smooth, creamy texture makes it easy to sneak in any medication, which has been a game changer for us. Plus, since we started using it, I've noticed their coats are softer and healthier-looking than ever. One of our kitties even has a softness we didn't see when we first adopted her. They both devour it and usually end up in a happy food coma afterward! Five stars from my cats." —ReadingbythepoolPrice: $8.82 (typically $11.76; same deal available for the tuna recipe) — and shop all Inaba deals here 24% off a hide-and-seek interactive cat toy if you have at least one super active kitty who wants to play right when you sit down to work every day (🙋‍♀️), or they're constantly egging on their older sibling who just isn't interested. Press a button to cycle through its settings, activating a fluttering butterfly at the top or a spinning feather toy underneath its removable cover — or have both of them running at once for max stimulation. Both of my cats like this toy, but Chicho (my super active younger cat) goes wild for it every single time. He really likes batting at the butterfly (as shown above), whose erratic movements keep him totally engaged, but he also loves laying on his side trying to catch the feather that zooms left, right, and all around. The fact that most of the feather toy is hidden underneath the patterned cover (so they can't see what's controlling it) is a genius design, and I'll also mention that my cats haven't been able to destroy this toy yet either — though the brand does sell replacement parts thankfully. The battery lasts a long time, and it charges conveniently via USB-C, which I appreciate!Price: $23.73 (originally $31.23) — and shop all Potaroma deals here
