Welcome to day two of Amazon’s four-day Prime Day event, which, if we’re being honest, looks a lot like day one. That’s actually good news, though, because many of the best deals are still around, and some new ones have joined them. If you’ve got a Prime subscription, whether through a free trial or a discounted student membership, you’ll find our favorite deals below.
Not every Prime Day deal deserves your attention, so we’ve filled this guide with products we know and genuinely like. Our team has spent years living with, testing, and comparing everything from robot vacuums and TVs to headphones and smart home gadgets, and the deals below are the ones we can confidently vouch for. We’ve also sprinkled in matching prices from retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Target whenever we find them, so you don’t necessarily need a Prime membership to save.
If you’re shopping for something specific, we’ve got dedicated roundups covering Apple gear, budget-friendly picks, smart home devices, TVs, and much more. We’ll also be updating this guide throughout the day as new deals pop up and old ones disappear, so check back occasionally.
