Early Prime Day deals are here. Amazon's Prime Day sale doesn't officially start until July 8, but as it's usually the case with Amazon, early deals start appearing much earlier than the kick-off date.
Our Prime Day coverage starts now, giving you live access to the best deals our team of experts can find. We will always use price tracking tools to make sure the deals you see are actually good deals, and not just hype designed to fool you.
You will need to be a Prime Member to have access to all of Amazon's Prime Day deals and to get free shipping. Prime membership starts at $14.99 per month ($139 per year) and comes with a lot more benefits than people think. It's easy to figure out if yearly Prime membership is worth it for you, but remember you can always cancel your Prime membership once the sale is over. Amazon offers free 30-day trials, so you can shop for the whole event and still have time to cancel before you get charged. (Here's how to sign up for a Prime account.)
If this is your first Prime Day, you need to know some basics:
What do you think so far?
You can check out our live blog of the event below, which features the whole team's coverage of all four days of Prime Day. We'll continue covering new deals as they are published, but scroll through the blog to check out all of the best deals so far.

Let's talk landscaping for a minute. If you thought a nice lawn was out of your price range, think again. The Makita 36-volt, 18-inch cordless mower is on sale for $445, 26% off its regular price. This mower runs on two 18-volt batteries, and it comes with a set of four 4-amp-hour batteries and a charger, allowing you to have a fresh set of batteries on the charger for continuous operation. The 18-volt batteries that come with this tool are compatible with other 18-volt Makita tools, so it can be a good expansion for your existing kit—or the first step toward creating a kit.

If you're ready to upgrade from tracking your steps to something more performance-driven, investing in a running watch might be your best move. The Garmin Forerunner 255 running watch is designed to help runners optimize training and improve performance, and right now, it's 43% off on Amazon, the lowest price it's ever reached according to price trackers. With GPS tracking, comprehensive stats, free training plans, and training evaluations to monitor performance and provide feedback, it's like a built-in running coach for your wrist.

The JBL Xtreme 4 is pretty big, almost bordering on not being a “portable” speaker at all (though it still is), with powerful sound that can handle a large backyard barbecue party. Right now, it's $130 off during Early Prime Day, bringing its price down to $249.95 (originally $379.95). That's a record low price for this particular speaker, according to price tracking tools. Get it now to make your beach trips, backyard parties, and grilling sessions into dance parties for the rest of the summer.

If you're trying to keep an eye on your home without running wires through your walls, this 3-pack of Ring's battery-powered Stick Up Cams might be worth a look—especially while it's on sale: It's currently available for $149.97 ahead of Prime Day, which isn't exactly a budget buy but still knocks $70 off the regular price. And because these are battery-powered and weather-resistant, they're equally suited for indoor bookshelves or outdoor patios. You could easily mount one over your entryway, angle another toward the garage, and let the third watch your living room.

I use surge protector power strips on most nightstands or table tops around my home, but I always look for the ones with the flat head so I can have my furniture rest against the wall without damaging the cable. This Tessan 12-in-one Tower Surge Protector Power Strip has eight outlets and four USB ports currently going for $23.79 (originally $29.74).
Wed, July 2, 2025 at 4:35pm ET
If you're looking for a cheap portable outdoor speaker that can get wet, consider the BolaButty Portable Speaker, currently going for $19.99 (originally $34.99). It's waterproof with an IPX5 rating and will last 20 hours before running out of juice.
Wed, July 2, 2025 at 4:10pm ET
All iPhone users, in my opinion, should own a Magsafe portable charger. The cool thing about this one is that it's magnetic and sticks to the back of your iPhone. You can get the Ugreen Magnetic Power Bank for $22.99 (originally $34.99).
Wed, July 2, 2025 at 3:39pm ET
I recently lost my INIU Portable Charger while traveling in Europe. Luckily, it was at the end of my trip, and it had served its purpose well, saving my phone's battery (and therefore my life) multiple times. You can get one now for $15.98 (originally $21.99).
Wed, July 2, 2025 at 3:16pm ET
The Amazon Echo Pop is already Amazon's most budget-friendly smart speaker, but it's cheaper than ever right now so you should absolutely get one—or more. You can use the multi-room music feature if you have multiple speakers in different rooms, so grab a few: You can get one for $21.99 right now (originally $39.99).
Wed, July 2, 2025 at 3:14pm ET
If you have a TV that isn't smart but you don't want to upgrade the entire device right now, you can get the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K for half off at $24.99 (originally $49.99). It supports Dolby Atmos audio, almost all the HDR formats, Amazon Luna and Xbox Game Pass cloud gaming, Wi-Fi 6, and you can install Kodi to virtually watch anything for free. Then again, if you're in the market for an entirely new smart TV, you'll definitely be able to find one this Prime Day season. This is just a great option otherwise.

You don't need to be a spy to have tracking devices, you know. All you need to do is be a savvy shopper. As an Apple user, you can let AirTags use Find My to track anything that you can put these devices on. Right now, Amazon has single AirTags for $22.99 (originally $29).

Oh, you prefer wireless earbuds? That's fine—but you still don't want to overpay for something you could end up losing. To hedge against that, check out Soundcore by Anker P20i, a solid pair with some impressive features for their $19.99 price (originally $39.99). You get Bluetooth 5.3, 30 hours of battery, water resistance, and a full EQ with the companion app.

Hear us out: Yes, wired earbuds are very early 2000s, but people had the right idea back then because these never run out of batteries. If you're in a throwback mood and still rocking an iPhone 14 Plus or below (or an iPhone SE 3rd generation), you can pick up some official Apple EarPods Headphones with a Lightning connector for $15.96 (originally $19), or one with USB-C connector for a few cents more.
