It is the final day of Amazon Prime Day—the final countdown, the time of FOMO dread, the last official day of the best deals. The fourth day is the day when we bring you the sun, the moon, and the stars. After today, many things will cost a little bit more for the foreseeable future—
especially laptops.
But new deals are still rolling out all day today. Friday is the day when a lot of you get your paychecks, and so Amazon is filling up the virtual racks with impulse buys. We'll be out here sorting the true deals from the fake deals. You worked hard for that paycheck, and we plan to make sure you get something really good out of it. Like,
40% off Bose headphones good. You know? We all persist together.
We will update our overview of
the absolute best Amazon Prime Day deals three times today. We'll add new terrific deals. We'll cut the deals that already died, or that don't look quite as fresh. And we'll be here live all day with the most Lightning of deals, mowing our lawn with robots while we work, and spouting bum opinions about how you shouldn't spend more than $500 on a Chromebook.
We're here. It's still Prime Day. It is always Prime Day.
Featured deals
iPad 11-inch for $300 (14% off) Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds for $53 (33% off) Ugreen Power Bank 25,000mAh for $60 (45% off) Plugable USB-C Hub Multiport Adapter for $37 (25% off) Note Pro AI Voice Recorder for $109 (15% off) Samsung Frame Pro TV (65-inch) for $1,498 (29% off) GroWell LED hair regrowth hat for $452 ($98 off)
The Deals Will Continue Tomorrow
And so ends another day of hot deals on cool things, as the four-day Prime Day event (Prime Days, perchance? Prime Week? Prime Season?) nears the end of its third day.
We'll be back tomorrow morning bright and early at 6 a.m. Eastern, tracking which deals are still live—and which deals have newly surfaced as a fourth-act surprise.
In the meantime, check out the
99 Absolute Best Prime Day Deals, each one still rolling as of the close of business today. We'll be back up in your business tomorrow.
An Indoor Cam That Can Recognize Your Cat
Some of the benefit of an indoor cam is what it does tell you. Some is what it doesn't tell you. The indoor Google Nest is by far the
smartest indoor security camera on the market, and that's because it offers actually accurate detection and alerts about the people, animals, or vehicles it spots in your home. You don't need to be alarmed about an intruder when the actual situation is that Martha, your cat, has fallen asleep in front of the camera for the fifth time that day.
The 2K resolution at 30 fps is decent, with both HDR and night vision. There’s also two-way audio, and enforced two-factor authentication. The catch, of course, is that you'll need a Google Home Premium subscription at $10 per month or $100 a year, if you want to take full advantage of the familiar-face alerts and 30 days of event video history. This said, the subscription covers all your Nest devices. So if you're already hooked in, you're already hooked in. Anyway, the cam is 30 percent off for Prime Day.
This Is the Most Valuable Tech in my Home
Although they can be pricey, I cannot imagine my life (or house) without a
robovac-mop combo. I live with two roommates and two cats in a small apartment, and my floor gets gross fast. A combo robovac-mop is basically a tiny robot butler that intelligently vacuums carpets and mops hardwood floors to give you an effortlessly clean home. The four-figure MSRP can be a little steep, but that's why you wait until Prime Day when it's $400 off regular price. I promise you, you’ll be thankful you grabbed one when you never have to hand-clean your floors again.
These Desktop Speakers Offer What I Need, But Not More Than What I Need
I spend too much time at my work laptop to want to live with the sorta washed-out speakers that come with it. I don't need a party system, or a replacement for my home entertainment setup, but I do want clarity on a Zoom call. At the sensible end of the budget spectrum, Edifier is the brand that dominates WIRED's picks for the best
computer speakers.
These Edifier H60s are only $150 right now and offer excellent clarity of sound, USB-C or Bluetooth connectivity, and decent but not excellent bass. It's cool, though. I don't need excellent bass on my laptop speakers.
This Netgear Mesh Wi-Fi Is My Dream
It's funny how your dreams change. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a paleontologist. But these days, one of my fondest current dreams is the Wi-Fi 7
Netgear Orbi 77 —the mesh router my colleague Simon Hill pegs as the best mesh Wi-Fi system for most households. The reasons are simple: my house is old, the foundations are strong and somewhat impervious, and I want my smart grills outside to stay hooked to Wi-Fi. This way I can go out on the town and still monitor a long sparerib cook.
This Netgear offers tri-band coverage (2.4-, 5-, and 6-GHz), while the internal antennae mean the whole home gets online. This adds up to superfast connectivity in the office, but still good long-range connectivity where my grill lives. These are my dreams. My dreams are humble. But my dreams are also 23 percent off.
This Is the Most You Need to Spend on a Chromebook
Honestly, does a Chromebook more than $500 make sense? Kinda the whole point of a Chromebook, for me personally, is that it's a way of getting a laptop for less than $500 that isn't resolutely terrible. So you make some trade-offs. You farm your memory to the cloud, you give up a little flexibility, and you get a cheap laptop that can still perform.
Our
resident Chromebook expert, Luke Larsen, has strong arguments to the contrary, so maybe I'm just a cheapskate. But speaking as a cheapskate, this $340 deal on the Chromebook Plus 515 hits the sweet spot between solid performance and "I don’t want to pay more than $500 for a Chromebook."
This Air Purifier Doubles as a Cat Perch
One of the reasons I’m such a fan of
air purifiers is that I live in a small apartment with two cats and a roommate who suffers from pet allergies. With so many different types of purifiers on the market, it can be hard to know which to invest in. I love this air purifier designed specifically for pet hair that also doubles as a cat perch. It has a special self-cleaning roller designed to suck up pet hair with a self-cleaning system that rotates the rolling brush and filter in 360-degrees to prevent pet hair that’s been captured from clogging. It has “Loop Boost” technology, which works to recycle air in the room faster, capturing airborne dust and dander and boosting purification efficiency by 19 percent. This, along with HEPA filtration, combines to eliminate pet odors. Plus, the device doubles as cat furniture, and it’s $150 off right now.
The Dryer Vent Cleaning Kit Is Trending Again
You guys love this thing. It trends every Prime Day, and last year I actually bought one to see what the fuss is about. It’s just a box of plastic tubes that connect to one another and fit onto your drill, and the terminal tube has what looks like a toilet brush affixed to the end. (There’s also a bottle-brush-looking option, but I’ve never tried that one.)
However, this kit definitely works to scrub the inside of your dryer vents, and because the tubes are flexible, it’s a great solution for homes with venting that may have twists or turns. Dryer vents clogged with lint are a well-known fire hazard, so what better thing to spend $17 on than peace of mind?
We Won’t Shut Up About These Headphones
Pretty much everyone on the WIRED Reviews team loves these
discounted headphones, which are nearly 20% off right now. Sony's noise-canceling WH-1000XM6 headphones are an easy choice to top my personal list as well. These headphones have the best noise reduction capabilities of any we’ve tested. They also have 30 hours of battery life, multipoint Bluetooth pairing, and a new, smaller case and folding ear cups, which makes them even easier to take along while traveling.
The Prettiest Smart Fridge is $400 Off
You never know what the viral products will actually look like, and whether they'll work as designed, when they finally show up in your home. For weeks, the
Rocco Super Smart Fridge had haunted WIRED gear team editor Kat Merck's social feeds—perhaps anticipating her need for a drink in an unseasonably warm summer. Perhaps, she wondered, Rocco secretly knew she wouldn't walk 50 feet for a canned cocktail.
But she
wasn't prepared for how good the dang thing looked when it actually showed up, an assemblage of color-coordinated metal and fluted glass that looks both retro and contemporary at once. But aside from being pretty, the Rocco's marquee feature is that it recognizes the drinks you put into it—and keeps an app-accessible inventory so you'll always know what's in it, and what you need to buy when you're out at the store. This is more convenient than you expect, and the fridge is discerning enough to recognize even individual flavors of Kirkland Signature sparkling water. (Shout-out to the real Costco heads.)
Anyway, when you buy it, make sure you buy it on sale. The
Blue, White, and Icy Blue colors are $400 off right now. They probably won't be $400 off next week.
The Best Water Filter Is an In-Line Water Filter
As WIRED reviewer Matthew Korfhage notes in his excellent
filtered water pitcher explainer, most municipal drinking water supplies meet federal safety standards, and only about 4 percent of water systems have unsafe levels of contaminants. Unfortunately, my city’s water supply is one of them. Even though local water systems don’t have to test for PFOAs until 2031, my city’s does, and the levels are regularly above the state action level for PFOA and PFOS, which regularly triggers warnings and alarming notices for residents. For a while, I opted for a filtered pitcher, but filling it multiple times a day was too laborious. If you’re serious about safe water, the only practical solution is either a whole-house system or an in-line reverse osmosis system with its own tap. Of the latter, Waterdrop’s tankless X series is extremely popular, and for good reason. The X16 in particular is easy to install, with a capacity for 1,600 gallons—this means it can fill a cup or even a pot within seconds— and a remineralization cartridge to adjust the water to a perfect-tasting 7.5 pH. Though I have not personally been able to test its ability to remove PFOA and PFOS, Waterdrop does provide third-party testing data on its website showing removal rates around 99 percent.
$150 Off the Best Blender There Is
I’ve had several Vitamix models throughout my life, but this has been the most efficient model I’ve owned. As a mostly gluten-free vegan who eats pretty much only vegetables and fruits, this baby has a permanent spot on my countertop because it makes smoothies, soups, sauces, dressings, and more with silky-smooth ease.
The 5200 is simple, with just two switches, a 10-speed dial, and a tall 64-ounce blending chamber with a tapered bottom. But its mix of power, durability, finesse, and time-tested design has made the 5200
not just the top-rated blender among all blenders we've tested—it's owned and loved by about half WIRED's reviews team. It lasts years, maybe decades. But because it starts quite expensive, it's best to wait for a deal. This 30-percent off deal is as good as you'll do.
The One Roborock Vacuum You Should Buy During Prime Day
Roborock is one of the biggest name in
robot vacuums. But you'll be forgiven if you don't know your Qrevo from your Saros 20. After sorting through all of the various Roborock deals, WIRED's vacuum expert Nena Farrell arrived at the conclusion there's really only one Prime Day Roborock vacuum deal you need to pay attention to this year.
he
Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow is a whopping $300 off list price right now. Though the Qrevo is ostensibly a member of Roborock's more affordable line, it actually outperformed more expensive Roborock models when it came to navigation–and still offers an impressive 20,000 Pa of suction. It's the best Roborock deal out there this Prime Day.
I Hated Skylight’s Frames. Now I Can’t Stop Using Its Calendar.
Hate is a strong word. I’m WIRED’s digital photo frame tester, and again and again I preferred the Aura ecosystem over Skylight’s. But Skylight has found a way to secure itself in my home with the
Skylight Calendar instead. These devices are often called smart wall calendars or digital wall calendars, but this is essentially a device that lets you connect multiple calendars together in one screen that you can tap and instantly see. There are also tabs for recipes, grocery lists, tasks, chores, and rewards, so your whole family can use it to keep track of scheduling and to-do lists. There are several cheaper options than the Skylight, but the Skylight is the only unique operating system, rather than just being an Android-based experience that feels like a supersized Android tablet.
The only downside is that you need a subscription to get all of the best features, including the photo slideshow that will activate when you’re not using it. But after trying so many of these devices, it’s well worth it if you want one spot for everything. The Skylight Calendar comes in a few different sizes, and its largest (and most expensive)
Skylight Calendar Max is on sale right now.
Upgrade Your Dumb TV to Be Smart
Last Black Friday I was peer pressured into finally buying a smart TV, in the year of our lord and savior, 2025. But all of the years before that, I was using this Roku to make my hand-me-down dumb TV smart. It has an intuitive interface, updated streaming options, fast processing and internet connectivity. Plus, as an added bonus, it can be casted from your phone, laptop, or tablet, and the built-in voice control on the remote makes it super easy to find apps and shows. I also live with two roommates and I appreciate that you can plug a pair of headphones into the remote to listen without disturbing the people in your home.

Meet the Only Robot Vacuum With AI I Liked
Almost every technology product, whether it’s your new iPhone or the
latest Kindle Scribe or even a robot vacuum, is suddenly promising to use AI to do its job better. Will it really? In most cases, no. But there’s been one robot vacuum this year that’s impressed me with its built-in AI. The Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal uses a UV light to spot stains on your floor, and its artificial intelligence will analyze the footage to figure out where to go and give your hard floors a little extra scrubbing. It does this after completing its regular clean, which is a little annoying, but it’s cute how the robot vacuum’s base station will announce that the vacuum is going back out to “viciously attack them” (yes, that’s exactly what it says.)
Your Cat Is Sick of Its Dirty Bathroom. Get a Discounted Automatic Litter Box.
Are cats low maintenance or have we just normalized their neglect? In this essay, I will… Just kidding, I’ll spare you this time from my rant, but seriously, one of the best things you can do to improve their health and overall wellbeing is investing in an
automatic litter box. Cats are extremely clean creatures, and they like us, they think it’s gross to use a dirty bathroom. This automatic litter box is my midrange-priced pick for most people. It doesn’t have the bells and whistles like built-in AI or a connected camera, but it works consistently well, keeps things clean, always smells fresh, is easy to use, and has a connected app to manage things from afar.
This Office Chair Is So Comfy I Can Fall Asleep In It
An
office chair is a silly place to fall asleep—and yet, I like that I can. This mesh-backed Vari Align chair, released in March by standing-desk pioneer Vari, has the best-balanced recline of any office chair I've tested, courtesy of an ingenious little suspension system behind the breathable back. It's like a little half-hammock, this chair.
This chair's simple design disguises excellent adjustability, making it suitable for most heights above about 5'3", with a comfortable foam seat and decent lumbar support behind the mesh. The Align is not beautiful: It looks like a chair. But if you like to lean back and “think,” this chair is the one. Being it's a pretty new chair it's weirdly cheap for Prime Day—nearly $100 off.
This Security Camera Deal is Unbeatable Value for Money
The battery-powered, wire-free TP-Link Tapo MagCam was the runner-up in my
best outdoor security cameras guide. It offers everything you are likely to want in a security camera, and it’s a bargain at the regular price, so this discount is worth grabbing. It can record video at up to 2K and 30 frames per second, has a 150-degree field of view, and connects directly to your Wi-Fi. The magnetic mount makes it easy to angle; it offers two-way audio, and the notifications are swift and reliable. You can record locally on a microSD card or opt for a Tapo Care subscription ($3.50/month or $35/year for one camera) for cloud storage (30-day video history), rich notifications with snapshots in them, and video filtering.
This Lego Set Is Fun to Set Up and Doubles as Home Decor
As I get older, I’m realizing that putting together Legos is one of the few activities that remains as fun as an adult as it did when I was a kid. I love putting together Star Wars sets with my nine year old nephew as much as I love putting together these gorgeous floral sets with my 33-year-old boyfriend. I love all of the floral sets, but this Dried Flower Centerpiece Set is one of the cheaper options and is pretty enough to display once it’s completed. Plus, it’s as fun to do alone as it is with someone else.
