Sometimes things just work out. I just finished off my last SunnyD-flavored Ryse energy drink, and I need to order another pack. I was going to pay full price, but a $5 discount is nothing to sneeze at for Prime Day.

There are certainly other energy drinks, but for the past several months, this is the only flavor I’ve gone for. I’ve put gallons of it through my system, and Prime Day or not, I’m not slowing down.

This affordable botvac comes from Yeedi, which is the more affordable sub-brand of Ecovacs. The M12+ has large capacities for longer runtimes, plus an extendable arm for getting into crevices. The suction is alright, too. Since it simultaneously vacuums and mops, it should shave a bunch of time off your weekly cleaning routines. And it’ll do it for cheaper than usual!

I just made my second purchase of Prime Day, nabbing a Blink Mini camera for $18. It will be a glorified doorbell chime for the Blink doorbell I bought last week. My expectations are low, but so is the price.

We may be more than a month away from Thanksgiving, but today, I’m thankful for my Eero 6+ mesh Wi-Fi system. I resisted the mesh transition, but about a year ago, I pulled the trigger on a three-pack of Eero 6+ nodes, and it’s completely transformed my home Wi-Fi. Spotty connections and inconsistent speeds have been replaced by whole home coverage and the consistency of a wired connection. Seriously, if I was still relying on my old, single-point router, I probably wouldn’t be able to make it through Prime Day. The Eero 6+ system is one of the best mesh Wi-Fi routers you can buy, and although it’s technically a last-gen model, there are precious few devices that can take advantage of anything beyond the Wi-Fi 6E capabilities this router provides.

Prime Day is always a great time to stock up on summer gear for next year that gave you FOMO this year. Perhaps things like this portable, rechargeable misting fan with a refillable tank, for which ads have been all over my social media for the past few months. Shark claims it can run for 30 minutes with the mist consistently on, or for 60 minutes with it in “interval mode,” and when I tested it this summer, I found that mostly to be true. You have to be pretty close to the mister to feel it, like sitting with it on a desk or a table, but if that’s not a deal-breaker, this is a great price on a supremely versatile summer staple. It appears that only the dark-green, limited-edition Spruce colorway is currently priced this low. Not only do I personally think this is the best color anyway, but it also comes with a car charger for travel, which many of the other colors don’t.

I didn’t think I’d like a fitness tracker until I started using one. They’re so handy! Aside from tracking steps and workouts, they can also offer useful statistics on your health trends over time, the quality of your sleep, and even your skin temperature. Suddenly I started paying attention to how often I was standing up—a surprisingly easy thing to forget about when you work from home.

With picks ranging from $80 to $270 and options for iOS, Android, or either, this roundup is worth checking out if you want to conquer your fitness goals (or simply figure out how many trips you took from the couch to the fridge and back again. We aren’t judging you.)

It may be a few years old, but the Logitech Brio 4K is still one of the best webcams you can buy. The support for Windows Hello, enabling you to unlock your computer with your face, is a lovely feature that still feels a little futuristic to me. It offers a sharp 4K picture at 30 frames per second, has decently accurate white balance, and automatically adjusts focus to keep you sharp in frame. You can also choose from 65, 78, and 90 degrees for your field of view. There’s a privacy shutter for when you want to be sure you won’t appear on screen. This is currently one of my longest-serving pieces of tech (it has outlasted two PCs), which is a testament to its quality.

Walmart heard it was Amazon Prime Day, and has responded in kind with the … drumroll please … Walmart Deals event. I’m not sure who came up with this name, but I am sure that this competing sale has a healthy selection of discounts on WIRED-tested gear, including some of our favorite TV sets and a few items for around the house—such as a Dyson vacuum.

Find our favorites so far in our dedicated story.

There’s nothing worse than being on the go and having your gadgets die. (OK, some things are worse.) But still! Low power mode? Depleted headphones before a train ride? Absolutely not. It’s 2025. Nobody needs to face battery anxiety anymore.

We’ve tested dozens and dozens of power banks, and many of our top picks are on sale for Prime Day. Whether you need to charge your laptop or your phone, we’ve found a deal worth getting.

As a bass music enthusiast with a penchant for standing directly in front of some of the loudest sound systems in the world at music festivals, I take protecting my hearing very seriously. Lately, the Loop Experience 2 earplugs are my go-to ear protection. I wore them from 11 am to 3am nearly every day last week, and I can attest that they do their job very well. They dampen sound without distorting it, and they’re comfortable enough to wear all day long. I also like that people can tell when I’m wearing them thanks to the visible loop that rests on the shell of my ear—no more clear silicone that makes it hard to tell whether or not I’m ignoring my friend when they talk to me. They’re also positively tiny and store neatly inside the included carrying case. You’ll get a few different tips to ensure the fit is perfect. My esteemed colleague Nena Farrell swears by this same pair for overstimulated parents—they’ll help quiet everything down while ensuring you can still hear your kiddos. Did I mention they come in rose gold?

There are many smartphone experts on the WIRED Reviews team, and the expert-est of them all says the Google Pixel 9a is the very best Android phone for most people. Right now you can snag it for $350 which is a 30 percent discount and a truly excellent deal if you need to upgrade or swap your daily device. It has great cameras, great battery life, great performance, and a great design. Learn more about it in our dedicated story.

We really like the Away Carry-On bags—both the hard-sided and soft-sided versions. But as much as carry-on luggage can be helpful, sometimes you just need a big suitcase. This bad boy measures 31 inches tall and has more than enough space for anything you’d need on a long trip—even souvenirs. (And, in my opinion, packing cubes can help with this too. Scroll down to find a deal on them.) It comes in several bright and interesting colors, a few of which are on sale. It has four gliding wheels, two handle positions, and a TSA-approved lock.

Kindles are notoriously difficult to find on sale outside of shopping holidays. Luckily, Prime Day means now is your best chance to save on the best WIRED-tested models. You can save on the new Kindle Colorsoft, Kindle Scribe, Kindle Paperwhite, and more. Head to our roundup for all the details.

These are the sport version of the JLab Go Air, meant especially for working out. They’ve got over-ear hooks and a cute, durable charging case. They’ve got touch controls on-board, IP55 water resistance, and 30 hours of battery life per charge. They’re available in a wide array of colors to boot, most of which are on sale right now. Usually the price tag is cheap enough to be a no-brainer if you’re in the market; This deal makes the purchase even smarter.

My friends ask me if a Dyson is worth it. My answer is always the same: unfortunately, yes. Dyson’s vacuums do a noticeably better job than cheaper stick vacuums, and especially do a nice job getting up more pet hair and dust from my carpet. But it’s not a cheap thing to invest in, which is why scoring the Dyson V8 Plus for a measly $300 is such an exciting deal to see. It’s not the latest and greatest from Dyson’s lineup, but choosing an older model is a known way to get a better deal on Dyson’s powerful vacuums. It still comes with a nice range of attachments, too, including a hair screw tool. The V8 is so good that Dyson is actually working on a second generation of it next year. This OG model might not be around much longer, and the new version certainly won’t be this affordable, so don’t miss your chance to get it for cheap.

Sorry for calling you stinky. That was rude of me. But if your current underarm regimen isn’t cutting it (or you have a teenager in your house), let me recommend my very favorite aluminum-free deodorant. Native’s formula is gentle and smells fantastic, even if you’re working out intensely. (Or stress-sweating your way through a shopping holiday). It’s not an antiperspirant, but it’s a wonderful deodorizer with minimal clothing staining and all-day strength. And it’s vegan!

The Anker MagGo Power Bank (10K) (Qi2) is my top pick in our best Qi2 and MagSafe power banks guide because it packs plenty of power, it conveniently hugs the back of your iPhone or Qi2 Android phone magnetically, and it has a nifty kickstand to prop your phone in portrait or landscape orientation. Throw in a teeny display that shows precise remaining juice and time to charge, and you have my perfect power bank companion. This thing even works with StandBy mode, so you can use your iPhone as a bedside clock on trips.

I’m not gonna lie: I kind of hate the way the Trtl travel pillow looks. I feel like a big dork when I wear it. But that feeling lasts approximately 3 to 5 minutes before I’m promptly asleep—even if I’m in the middle seat of the airplane (or at the airport before takeoff). It’s basically a soft, warm fleece scarf attached to a brace. Rest the bottom end of the brace on your shoulder, and your head will be cradled by the top end (and held in place securely by the scarf part). Even as someone who is often anxious while traveling, and an insomniac to boot, I’m able to pass the heck out before we hit cruising altitude when I bring this pillow with me. I don’t love the storage case, but I most certainly do love catching solid shut-eye without worrying I’ll accidentally rest my head on my seat neighbor’s shoulder.

Packing cubes: You either love them or hate them, and your opinion probably has deep roots in your personality.

Are you an obsessive control-freak bent on controlling the uncontrollable, bringing stress and misery to all those in your party while traveling? Or are you a regular chill person who has one big packing cube (also known as a “suitcase”) and thus doesn’t need to pack all your bags inside other bags?

I will not reveal my personal opinions here, but if you are a packing cube person, we have a roundup of Amazon Prime Day deals on them. Again, I will not reveal whether I am personally shopping these deals; it is just my job to make sure you know they exist if you’re the type of person who wants them, which I may or may not be.

The Loop Quiet 2 are the best earplugs for sleep. They’re gorgeous, with a thoughtful and user-friendly design, but they also work very well. They can block out up to 27 dB of noise, and they’re made entirely of silicone so there won’t be any discomfort while you sleep. They’re also available in six different colors, and they come with four sets of ear tips so you can find the perfect fit. At this price, they’re more than worth it.
