While you're at it, have a look at our other early Prime Day deals posts, including early deals on Apple devices.
Ego Power+ Electric Lawn Mower LM2135SP
Of the eight electric lawn mowers our testing team tried out, this one was deemed the best thanks to its 60-minute battery life, easy maneuverability and impressive grass-cutting power. Oh, and the mower has eight cutting height positions and a mulching function. For Amazon Prime Day, you can score this editor favorite at nearly half off. Your purchase will come with two lithium batteries and a charger. Read our review
Justmysport Mouse Repellent Pouches, 5-Pack
Summer is the time you're most likely to encounter pests like rats or mice, so don't wait until one comes flying out of your grill to take measures. This natural repellent is formulated with essential oils, which keep critters at bay and make your home smell fresh. One order comes with five pouches, which you can place at the perimeter of your yard or garage. This solution is so much better than having to lay out dangerous traps and remove dead rodents after the fact.
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 $65 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.
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.
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.
Thermacell E-Series 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. Just be sure to clip the on-page coupon to our review
Ciays Propane Fire Pit
There's something about having a fire burning 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? Late-night fireside gossip sessions await — don't forget the drinks.
Flash Furniture Lila 5-Piece Outdoor Dining Set
This bronze all-weather outdoor dining set gives major restaurant patio vibes, so be sure to snag it before your next dinner alfresco. The four chairs arrive fully assembled and stack for easy storage, and Amazon reviewers note that the table takes just a few minutes to put together. Whether you have a tiny deck or you prefer to keep dinners limited to just your family, this durable, fuss-free set has you covered for years to come.
Weber Spirit E-210 Propane Grill
Weber grills are popular for multiple reasons, and you can buy this propane model at its lowest price ever before Prime Day even gets here. 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.
Home-Complete 7-Piece Stainless Steel Barbecue Cooking Utensils Set
Speaking of grill tools, this seven-piece grilling utensil set is discounted by more than 50% 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!).
Demiwise Reusable Grill Mats, Set of 6
When it comes to cleaning your grill, we have a whole list of brushes we recommend 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. Even better still, your grill will stay looking new for longer.
Ninja Woodfire Pro XL Outdoor Grill and Smoker
Score a discount on Ninja's four-in-one 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 acommodate 10 burger patties at once while taking up just 22 inches by 20 inches of your table surface. One of our contributors tested the Woodfire 8-in-1 oven, and she praised its versatility, as well as the smoky flavor it gave different foods.
ThermoPro Lightning Instant-Read Meat Thermometer
If grilling is on the agenda this summer and you don't have a meat thermometer yet, now is the perfect time to buy a great one for less. This ThermoPro model reads and shows temps in just one second, meaning you can spend less time hovering over the grill and more time sipping brews and socializing. It even comes with the required AAA battery.
Coleman Classic 3-Burner Propane Camping Stove
If you want to save on food during your upcoming road trips, a camping grill 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 for their ease of use and self-contained designs when camping or tailgating. And right now, the green version of this pick is $25 below its average Amazon sale price.
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.
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!
Yaheetech Outdoor Potting Bench
For a limited time, you can score this cute potting bench in gray for the cheapest it's ever been on Amazon. It measures just 45 inches across, so it's shorter than your average loveseat, 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.
Amazon Basics Collapsible Utility Wagon
Transport your gardening tools throughout your yard without having to lug them when you buy this Amazon shopper-favorite utility wagon. It can hold up to 265 pounds thanks to its steel 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. 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 Thermacell, which have been popular with both editors and readers, in my experience.
