Amazon Prime Day 2025: The deals that the Engadget team spent our hard-earned money on
Amazon's Prime Day is in full swing, and now that two full days have passed, some of us have gotten past our decision paralysis and checked out our online shopping carts. It's no surprise that the Engadget team consists of people who are fans of tech (and non-tech) products, and we also love a good deal. As we've put together roundups and news stories about the best things to buy this week, we've also been tempted by the savings. Here's a list of what several of our team members bought, not only to share our lives with you but to also show you some of the deals we deemed good enough to spend our own money on. (Ed. note: Igor Bonifacic saved a whopping $2 on this guitar tuner, but it was worth it to him. I'll let him explain.) In Canada, the D'Addario tuner I ended up buying is normally a little more expensive at $20 CAD, but I figured there was a chance it would go on sale for Prime Day. So I set up a Camelcamelcamel alert, and on the morning of July 8 I got an email from the website saying it was… $2 off. Not the greatest discount, but hey, in such an expensive hobby, every dollar counts, right? This past spring, I picked up the guitar for the first time in about 15 years. How it happened doesn't matter. What does matter is that now I play everyday, and I've been asking myself why did I ever stop in the first place. I feel more creative, my eyes feel healthier from less screen time and I'm better now than I ever was as a teenager. As I've gotten back into the hobby, I've slowly been buying all the little accessories that can make it easier to maintain your guitar. With Prime Day around the corner, I set my sights on a headstock tuner. These little gadgets weren't around when I first started learning the instrument, but let me tell you they're great. Like the name suggests, you attach one to the headstock of your guitar. It then allows you to tune the instrument by measuring the vibrations produced by the strings. While you could just as easily use an app like GuitarTuna to do the same, clip-on tuners aren't affected by ambient noise, making the entire tuning process fast and easy. Best of all, they're cheap. In the US, you can spend as little as $15 to buy the model I purchased for Prime Day. — Igor Bonifacic, senior reporter Without even trying, I've become a devotee of Apple's Continuity Camera over the last few years. I think with my laptop and monitor setup, it's just always made more sense to use my iPhone as a camera rather than buying some kind of USB-C docking station or giving up another port on my computer. Unfortunately, I also find having my phone within arm's reach while I'm writing to be pretty distracting. Taking advantage of a Prime Day deal on a dedicated webcam this year is my solution. I purchased an off-white Logitech Brio 500, which normally costs $130, but is $50 off for Prime Day through Amazon or Logitech. It's a kind of a long, tube-shaped 1080p webcam, so not the sleekest or best option out there, but it has the basics I need, like a manual shutter and auto-framing, and critically, it matches my Logitech mouse. If, like me, you can't stand the idea of paying over $100 for a webcam, I think it's a pretty appealing option at $80. — Ian Carlos Campbell, contributing writer I recently discovered that as all my gear transitioned to USB-C, I no longer had any compatible thumb drives. Rather than buy an adapter dongle that I would inevitably lose, I figured it would be smart to have a new thumb drive that could handle both USB-C and USB-3. The discount on the SanDisk drive I bought wasn't huge, but Prime Day seemed like a good time to save a few bucks on a practical purchase. — Anna Washenko, contributing reporter I made a very short, focused list of three things to buy on Prime Day — a Nori Press, a walking pad and the Ms. Rachel Tonie toy for the kids in my life. But when I was looking through our roundup of the best deals this week, the discounted entry-level iPad caught my eye. My dad had been asking me repeatedly for weeks about an iPad for watching videos and movies while him and my mom were traveling, and I wasn't able to give them an answer as I was weighing a lot of concerns. What is the best operating system for them? Do they need something released recently, or could they save some money on an older model? Seeing this current-generation iPad on sale prompted me to just buy it for them. It simplifies things as my dad uses an iPhone and is familiar with iPadOS, and apps like YouTube and Netflix would satisfy their desires to download videos to watch offline. Saving $70 on what is a very solid device felt like a great deal, but more importantly it earned me points with my family. — Cherlynn Low, managing editor As Prime Day goes on till the end of the week, many on the Engadget team are still weighing their decisions. Executive editor John Falcone, for example, hasn't bought Anker's UFO 3-device charger, but says he wishes he did. I'll update this post if he does, because he will save almost 30 percent on it. Not all our purchases have been through Amazon, either. Editor-in-chief Aaron Souppouris is thinking about buying "a weird camera for too much money not on Amazon." It's a full-spectrum conversion camera, and if and when he does make that purchase, we will be sure to shame him here. Finally, senior reporter Billy Steele has made arguably the best shopping decision all week, on or off Amazon. He bought "three Happy Meals trying to get the cool toys. I got three of the same toy. :("

Newest Kindle hits lowest ever price in Amazon Prime Day deal with over £100 off
Amazon's best-ever Kindle is now up for grabs with a major discount of over £100 thanks to this Prime Day sale If you're a fan of e-readers and reckon your current gadget is past its prime, today might be the perfect time to splash out on a new one. Amazon Prime Day 2025 is here, and Amazon has slashed prices on its top-of-the-range Kindle, the Amazon Scribe, in a deal that's even better than we'd anticipated. The latest generation Amazon Kindle Scribe is now available for £267.99, a whopping £112 off its usual price of £379.99. According to price comparison site Camelcamelcamel, this is the lowest price the Scribe has ever been listed for on Amazon. For those seeking a more budget-friendly option, Amazon is also offering discounts of up to 31% on several other models, including the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, which is touted as the fastest ever Kindle, now reduced to £118.74 from £159.99. The newest, second-generation Kindle Scribe, which was launched in December 2024, boasts a fresh design and updated software. With its 10.2-inch screen, it's the largest Kindle available - ideal if you prefer a larger display for reading. But there's a reason for its size: the Scribe also functions as a notebook, allowing you to create your own E-Ink notebooks for personal or work purposes, reports the Express. That's why the Scribe comes with a stylus pen included. Not only can you jot down notes, but you can also annotate e-books purchased from the Kindle Store. This feature is particularly handy if you enjoy making notes while reading for pleasure or research, and it's a real bonus if you're studying texts on your Kindle for school or university. The Scribe's size isn't just about the screen. It boasts the best battery life of any Kindle, promising up to 12 weeks based on half an hour of reading per day, even with the backlight on. The Kindle is charged via USB-C, and while a cable is included in the box, there's no charger.

Amazon has recently updated the software on the Scribe, which you will receive for free. This includes AI-powered notebook summarisation, capable of distilling pages of handwritten notes into word-processed text summaries - perfect for breaking down meeting notes or capturing your long-term thoughts in a few paragraphs. The update also allows you to jot down notes in the margins of e-books or write a sticky note to attach anywhere on the page, causing the words to flow around the note. Amazon has confirmed that this deal will be available throughout Prime Day, from July 8 to July 11, but only while stocks last.

Ninja air fryer at lowest price all year on Amazon and cheaper buying direct
This particular model of Ninja air fryer is one of the brand's best-sellers and is currently on offer on Amazon, saving shoppers a huge amount of money Air fryers have become the latest kitchen sensation, offering a faster and more convenient cooking method that's winning over families everywhere. With so many brands vying for attention, it can be quite the challenge to select the cream of the crop. Ninja, despite being on the pricier side, has gained a reputation for producing some of the finest air fryers around, as evidenced by the tonnes of glowing reviews on its website. Ninja's own research also suggest that its air fryers could lead to energy savings when compared to traditional oven cooking. The Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Digital Air Fryer is one of the brand's most popular, with Ninja saying that it can whip up fish fingers and sausages a whopping 75% quicker than your standard oven (pre-heating included). Its studies further suggest that an air fryer could "save up to 65% on energy bills" when rustling up sausages, in contrast with a fan oven. While the Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer is reduced on the Ninja website, down from £229.99 to £179.99, bargain hunters will be thrilled to find that Amazon has slashed the price even further. Right now, Amazon is tempting shoppers with the Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Digital Air Fryer at a reduced rate of £170.12, which translates to a hefty 26% discount. And if you're one to keep an eye on deals, Camelcamelcamel confirms this is the lowest price the gadget has seen on Amazon this year. The Ninja Foodi MAX air fryer, praised for its dual cooking zones that let different dishes be prepared at the same time, has been making waves, according to the Daily Record. With six versatile cooking functions – max crisp, air fry, roast, bake, reheat and dehydrate – this gadget is revolutionising kitchen counters by delivering a range of culinary possibilities, from crisping frozen goodies to warming up last night's dinner. Moreover, Ninja says it slashes fat usage by up to 75% on its air frying setting. Ideal for either meal prep aficionados or hosting duties, the air fryer's large size can whip up eight servings in one go, fitting either 1.4kg of fries or 2kg of chicken effortlessly into each compartment. It comes with two non-stick, dishwasher-safe 4.75-litre drawers and crisper plates to make the clean-up as breezy as the cooking process. With an impressive 4.8 out of five-star rating from a massive 38,960 Amazon reviews, the Ninja Foodi MAX has won over users, one of whom exclaimed: "The best thing about this product is that it pays for itself through energy savings." Another customer couldn't contain their excitement: "This air fryer is very good! I'd heard great things about Ninja products and this one totally lives up to the hype. It's nice to be able to cook two things at once with different settings. It's so convenient, cooks food way faster than my oven." "The product arrived promptly and in great condition. I use this every day. It is so easy to navigate and easy to clean. Food comes out tasty, especially the veggies," wrote another thrilled buyer. However, some customers haven't been completely impressed with the air fryer. One dissatisfied consumer reported: "It's not much bigger than the 300 but has better capacity, so it's useful for larger families. However, the controls are hard to see and use." Nevertheless, there's a whole host of other air fryers vying for attention on the market, including more pocket-friendly versions with solid reputations. Debenhams offers a bargain with the Geepas 9.2L Air Fryer that has five-in-one functions for a tempting £52.58. The device comes with an easy-to-use interactive touchscreen, nine established cooking programs, and a spacious 9.2L non-stick container. For those who fancy a less expensive Ninja alternative, the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone Air Fryer could be the way to go. Sold directly by Ninja and on sale at £149, this variant features six distinct cooking modes, separate cooking compartments, a roomy 7.6L size, and claims energy savings on your oven bills by up to 75% (as determined by Ninja's own independent research).
