Prime Day has begun. And it only seemed fitting to round up all the items we’ve written about that are now marked down.

Prime Day 2025

The Top Products We’ve Featured, on Sale for Prime Day

Amazon Prime Day is live and the epic four-day shopping event has become something of an overwhelming barrage of deals and countdowns all designed to make you click that “buy now” button. But in truth, it's also a great time to stock up on staples or if you've been holding off on buying that new beard trimmer or air purifier, this is when you can typically score the best price of the year.

We've pulled together a quick list of all the Valet.-approved products that are currently marked down for Prime Day—many of which won't be this cheap again for a while. And remember that the better the deal, the quicker an item might sell out. So pull that trigger before they run out or the sale expires.

Of course, if you don't have an Amazon Prime subscription, now's the time to take advantage of their free month trial. You not only get complimentary one- or two-day shipping, but there are plenty of other perks like a free year of Grubhub+ with $0 delivery fees and access to Twitch gaming and Prime Video, along with Amazon Music and the largest catalog of top podcasts without ads.

 

Dyson V8 Plus
Cordless Vacuum

Dyson's powerful V8 stand-up vac has a cult following for a reason—it works well, holds up over time and looks good while doing it. And it's now at the lowest price of the year.

$469.99 / $299.99 by Dyson

 

Philips Sonicare
Electric Toothbrush

This toothbrush's innovative “gum care” mode is gentle yet effective at utilizing the sonic vibrations to recirculate foam and water between the teeth and along the gum line. And it's now at the lowest price of the year.

$109.96 / $69.99 by Sonicare

 

Apple Watch
Series 10

Sports commentator Taylor Twellman swears by his rugged smartwatch. Now, you can grab one for nearly 30% off.

$429 / $309.99 by Apple

 

iRobot Roomba
Plus 405

If you don't have a robot cleaning your place, you're living in the past. There's a reason why anyone who has one of these hardworking little machines swears by it—and often gives it a name. This one not only sucks, but also mops your floor. This Prime Day deal is also the lowest price of the year.

$799.99 / $399.99 by iRobot

 

Breville Barista Express
Espresso Machine

If you take your coffee seriously and want an impressive-looking machine sitting proudly atop your counter, but don't know much about pulling the perfect espresso, this is the machine for you.

$749.95 / $549.95 by Breville

 

Bose QuietComfort
Bluetooth Headphones

The Bose QuietComfort is still the gold standard of noise-canceling can headphones. And now you can get a pair for the lowest price of the year.

$359 / $199 by Bose

The Best Prime Day Alternatives to Shop

It’s clear that the Prime days aren’t just for Amazon anymore. Plenty of other retailers are jumping in. While Amazon has everything you can imagine and then some, the flash sales come and go and even the Prime event is only for a few days. Some of our favorite stores are now offering excellent discounts (and longer sales), so take advantage.
