Bargain hunters, start your engines: Amazon Prime Day has landed. The two-day annual discount bonanza sees everything from the latest tech, including Amazon devices, laptops and TVs to home appliances, mattresses, beauty and so much more go on sale.

Taking place over two days (Tuesday 16 July and Wednesday 17 July), the retailer’s event is exclusive to Prime members. Amazon’s site-wide version of Black Friday, the deals are arguably just as good as the November sale.

Naturally, we’re on hand to take you through the very best deals that Amazon has to offer, plucking out the good discounts and chucking out the bad – starting now. From top shopping tips to the best bargains to shop now, consider this your Prime Day cheet sheet.

Upgrade your home security with Ring doorbells

The humble doorbell has been given the high-tech treatment with these bits of tech, courtesy of Ring. Allowing you to see and speak to whoever’s at your doorstep, even when you’re not at home, my household have just got one (late to the game, I know).

If you’re also late to the smart doorbell party, fear not as I’ve found a great deal on one of the industry’s bestsellers.

Calling all home-owners, we have spied a solid saving to upgrade your security system – there’s 58 per cent off Ring’s video doorbell 3. An upgrade from the original Ring video doorbell 2, the new model features improved motion detection, as well as a dual band wifi connectivity option (allowing for 2.4 or 5.0 GHz).

Satisfy your caffeine craving with this Grind deal

Known for their pastel pink packaging and contemporary-cool feel, Grind helps us recreate the barista experience at home thanks to its beans, ground coffee, French presses and accessories. But it’s the One Nespresso pod machine that is the star of the show.

Small but mighty, the stainless steel machine will take pride of place in your kitchen. Now it’s on sale for Prime Day (and it’s already in my basket).

Our favourite best-buy coffee machine from cult-favourite London coffee shop Grind is currently 25 per cent off at Amazon. The industrial style machine was praised by our tester for its “looks, durability and quality of coffee”. And, as you’d expect, it “made a great cup of coffee with a decent crema”.

My favourite sustainable electric toothbrush is on sale

Who knew an electric toothbrush could be so stylish? Sustainable, sleek and effacious, Suri’s electric toothbrushes have built somewhat of a cult following (me included). I invested in the sage green model and have no regrets.

Boasting impressive battery life, a handy portable case and an ergonomic design, it’s no surprise that it secured a spot in our round-up of the best electric toothbrushes, too.

An eco-friendly choice, this sleek-looking SURI toothbrush was named best sustainable electric toothbrush in our best toothbrushes round-up. The brushes have recyclable plant-based heads and bristles, as opposed to plastic bristles, which are used by many other brands.

Our expert was impressed by its “comprehensive clean”. With 33,000 sonic vibrations per second, it’s capable of dislodging stubborn plaque build-up. For Prime Day, it’s reduced by 25 per cent, which is sure to make you smile.

This is the best deal I’ve seen on a Kindle ereader

Saving you suitcase space and giving you access to thousands of books at the touch of a button, my Kindle is a summer essential. Plus, the Kindle book store often sees both trending and classic titles reduced, so you can build your library for less. Now, the popular paperwhite is on sale for Prime Day.

A stellar saving for the bargain-savvy bookworms out there, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, our favourite tried and tested ereader, has dropped in price by a worthwhile 20 per cent. In our review, our tester said it featured an elegant design, and improved front light, which is now “subtler and adjustable in terms of warmth as well as brightness”.

Our tester added that, unlike other Kindles, it “uses a newer type of e-ink, which offers a faster page turn and smoother transitions”.

PSA: Apple Airpods are at their lowest price ever

Thanks to Amazon Prime Day, Apple’s wildly popular AirPods Pro 2 earbuds have fallen to just £179, the lowest price they’ve ever been. I’ve been covering Black Friday for years and this Prime Day deal has blown the former’s Apple deals out the water.

If you need further convincing to invest, our tech critic has more details below.

The AirPods pro earbuds offer a “significant improvement over the already-splendid first-generation model,” praised our tech critic David Phelan in his review. “The case now includes Apple’s U1 chip, which means you can use the Find My app on your iPhone, say, to locate it when you’ve misplaced it,” he added.

They also featured in our review of the best wireless earbuds, with our tester noting they “fit the ear well and stay put securely, and there are now four sizes of silicone ear tips to ensure decent sound isolation”.

Our tech writer loves the Google pixel 8 pro – and it’s on sale

Some of the best discounts during Prime Day can be found on tech. Case in point: this impressive saving on a Google Pixel 8 pro phone, as recommended by our tech expert.

(Google)

Discounted by 30 per cent, Google’s flagship Pixel 8 Pro is one of the best smartphones our tech writer Steve has ever tested. “This year’s Pixel phones go hard on fancy generative AI features, but underpinning all of Google’s software cleverness is an excellent device boasting a significant hardware upgrade over last year’s model,” they said in their review.

“With a telephoto lens and extra RAM, as well as a Tensor G3 processor, AI-fuelled photo editing features and a glorious 120Hz display, it’s the Android device to beat.” I’m sold.

This is the best Prime Day deal on a Eufy robot vacuum

Taking the hassle out of cleaning your home, I’ve had a robot vacuum on the wishlist for a while – but they don’t come cheap. Prime Day has only just begin but I’ve potentially found the best deal on a model already. Reduced by more than 50 per cent, this Eufy model is tried and tested, and just over £100.

(Amazon)

When it comes to vacuum cleaners, suction is vital. In our round-up of the best robot vacuum cleaners, our expert tester noted that the Eufy robovac 15c has “good suction for the price, and handles dirt and dust on hardwood floors and medium-pile rugs with ease.”

If you have a mix of floors in your home, “the sensors can tell when the robot moves from carpet to hard floors and adjusts the suction strength to suit the situation.” The robot’s compact, slim 7.2cm height also allows it to glide under furniture effortlessly, tackling areas that you’d otherwise have to bend down to reach.
