UPDATE: Jul. 16, 2024, 5:45 p.m. EDT This post has been refreshed with the latest deals, pricing (including emojis denoting new record lows), and availability during the opening day of Prime Day. All AirPods are down to their lowest price ever and Kindles are back on sale.

Check out our giant list of the best Prime Day deals:

Deal hunters, gather round: Amazon Prime Day is back for its tenth year. And with the big event finally here, thousands of Prime Day deals are officially live.

Though the flagship summer sale officially started in the wee hours of July 16, Amazon’s been releasing early Prime Day deals ever since it announced the event’s dates in late June. (Much like Black Friday, Prime Day is less of a one-off and more like an ongoing season.)

We’re providing live updates on the top Prime Day 2024 deals right here, so be sure to bookmark or check this page regularly. Trust us, it’s a lot easier than scrolling through hundreds of thousands of discounts. That’s what you have us for, right?

When is Amazon Prime Day?

Prime Day 2024 officially runs from Tuesday, July 16 through Wednesday, July 17. The shopping event typically happens in mid-July, so this year is right on par with years past. Prime Day ends at midnight PT on July 17, so plan your shopping accordingly.

What kind of deals can you find this year?

Anyone who’s shopped a Prime Day sale before already knows the drill: It will be two days of site-wide doorbusters, with Amazon’s own devices and services getting the steepest price drops. You can save up to 71% on Amazon Echo devices, and many of Amazon’s Fire TVs have never been more affordable.

In a repeat from Prime Day 2023, Amazon also revived its invite-only deals program, giving select shoppers a chance to grab extra-exclusive doorbusters that are likely to sell out. Prime members can visit these products’ listings to request an invitation; if chosen, you’ll receive an email with a unique link to buy the item during the sale. (Amazon doesn’t specify how it picks these lucky shoppers; all we know is that they’re exclusive to Prime members.) Check out Mashable’s invite-only deals guide if you want to participate.

The best Prime Day Apple deals

Why we like it

In the days and weeks leading up to Prime Day, Amazon rolled out the best Apple discounts we’ve seen all year. For Prime Day proper, we’re seeing even more record-low prices on AirPods, MacBooks, and Apple Watches. If you have any Apple tech on your shopping wish list, this is the time to buy.

Case in point: The budget version of Apple’s famous smartwatch has never been more affordable. The GPS + Cellular version of the Apple Watch SE is priced at just $249.99. Even though it’s not as advanced as the Series 9, it’s still one of the most sophisticated wearables and fitness trackers in the world, with improved workout metrics, sleep tracking, and fall and crash detection. Best of all, it’s never been priced this low.

The best Prime Day Echo and Kindle deals

Why we like it

“The all-new Echo Spot is a smart alarm clock with a built-in speaker and a customizable digital face, which shows colorful animations in response to different prompts and questions. (It looks a lot like an upgraded Echo Pop.) You can control it with Alexa voice commands or by tapping its display.

Available in black, glacier white, and ocean blue, the Spot is now on sale for just $44.99 (normally $79.99) for Prime members through July 17 ‘in celebration of Prime Day,’ per an Amazon blog post — a 44% savings. You’ve also got the option of bundling it with a Sengled smart bulb worth $19.99 for just under $2 more.” — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

Amazon hasn’t been making TVs for as long as some other manufacturers, but in a few short years, it’s proven it can make some of the best budget and mid-range TVs in the world. The 4K Omni Series is firmly in the mid-range, but for Prime Day, it got a price drop that puts it in budget pricing territory. With Amazon’s Fire TV OS, it’s smarter than most similarly priced TVs, with excellent Alexa integration and voice control. For gaming, this TV comes with three HDMI ports (including an HDMI eARC).

Why we like it

A $74.99 tablet is hard to square with all the talk of inflation. But we’re not going to argue with this deal. For Prime Day 2024, many of Amazon’s tablets are down to their lowest-ever prices. The Fire HD 10 has a 10.1-inch full HD display and 13 hours of battery life, perfect for binge-watching a new TV series on the couch. This tablet was just released in 2023, and Amazon promises it offers 25 percent faster performance compared to the previous generation of Fire tablets.

Why we like it

“On sale for an all-time low $649.99 (normally $999.99), last year’s Motorola razr+ is a budget-friendly alternative to other foldable flip phones like the Google Pixel Fold and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5. Our friends at PCMag (which is owned by Mashable’s publisher, Ziff Davis) reviewed the razr+ with an ‘Excellent’ rating, crediting its larger 3.6-inch outer screen and striking 6.9-inch internal display. While it comes in several different colors, only the black and blue variants are down to a record-low at Amazon.” — Christina Buff, Mashable Contributor

“We’re big fans of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds. Mashable’s Timothy Beck Werth said, “In terms of audio quality, noise cancellation, and battery life, I’m more impressed the longer I use these earbuds.” At a regular price of $299 though, they don’t come cheap, but there’s no better time to buy than during Prime Day. They’re down to $229, their lowest price ever, giving you $70 off for 23% savings.” — Bethany Allard, Shopping Reporter

Best Bluetooth speaker deals

Why we like it

“The small-but-mighty SoundLink Flex from Bose just dropped to a record-low $99 at Amazon in its limited edition chilled lilac colorway. That’s 34% in savings and — unsurprisingly — 99 cents less than we saw it at during Target Circle Week. Amazon loves to outshine the competition. The SoundLink Flex’s got a rugged texture and is completely waterproof, so it’s designed to go wherever you go. It can automatically detect whatever position it’s in to give you the most immersive listening experience and it’ll last you about half a day on a single charge. Grab it in purple, green, stone blue, or white smoke.” — Christina Buff, Mashable contributor

Why we like it

“Launched last summer, Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 6 was dubbed the ‘king of the Android smartwatch mountain’ by Mashable tech reporter Alex Perry. The sixth iteration saw a suite of added sleep and fitness features, including a nuanced breakdown of sleep habits, sleep coaching, personalized heart rate zones, and irregular heart rate notifications. Plus, it lasts longer on a single charge and features a 20 percent larger display than previous models.” — Christina Buff, Mashable Contributor

Like all of the best Prime Day deals, this price drop easily beats this product’s lowest-ever price. Now that Prime Day has started, the 40mm version with Bluetooth dropped to a record-low $159.99. With sleep and heart rate tracking in addition to tons of fitness insights, this wearable is a handy alternative to the Apple Watch.

The best Prime Day robot vacuum deals

Why we like it

The very best Roomba might be at its best sale price yet, but it’s still not the best robot vacuum deal during Prime Day. Rather, you can actually stack more automated cleaning features for a few hundred dollars less by snagging the Eufy X10 Pro. This CES 2024 release has only been on sale a few times since it came out in January, its 25% one being the most severe yet.

Both have pretty powerful suction, recognize objects like phone chargers, empty themselves, and mop with force. But after mopping, only the Eufy X10 Pro will self-wash and dry its own mopping pads, prepping it to scrub the next floor with clean pads. Having tested both in her own apartment, senior shopping reporter Leah Stodart says that not having to deal with soggy mopping pads made her subconsciously reach to open the Eufy app over the iRobot one for pretty much every task.

The best Prime Day outdoor deals

Why we like it

“If your camping trips often involve a big group, or you just like extra space to stow your gear, this is the tent for you. Take 50% off this tent that will sleep up to 12 people, has floor-to-ceiling windows for better views and ventilation, and includes a convertible screen room if you want to divide off an area. This roomy tent is 14 x 10 feet, 6.6 feet high in the center, and can fit four queen-size airbeds. Plus, it’s built to withstand the weather. Spread out and stake your claim on your next camping trip.” — Jillian Anthony, Mashable Contributor

Why we like it

The juiciest discount we’re seeing on any Ninja cooker so far this Prime Day season is a 51% price slash on the Ninja Foodi Smart XL indoor grill and air fryer combo. This 7-in-1 flat top griddle can take your dinner from frozen to BBQ-ed (complete with grill marks) in 25 minutes, searing at temperatures up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit — use the included meat thermometer to check your work. The lid, which can grill open or closed, can also air fry and dehydrate. — Leah Stodart, senior shopping editor

Let the 50% discount on a Shark air purifier be the reminder you need that allergies don’t have to be an inevitable inconvenience for your entire life, actually. The Shark Clean Sense uses a HEPA filter to capture a variety of airborne problem causes, from indoor allergens like pet dander and dust to outdoor contaminants like VOCs and wildfire smoke. It can take care of spaces up to 500 square feet.
