Today’s best sales: Chef-approved knives, AirTags, the Instant Vortex and more

This knife set from Zwilling J.A. Henckels is durable, versatile and beloved by real chefs. It comes with a chef’s knife, utility knife, paring knives, six steak knives, kitchen shears and a honing steel to keep them sharp. Plus, the wooden block serves as storage, and the knives are dishwasher-safe. It’s no wonder this set is an Amazon No. 1 bestseller backed by 12,500 five-star reviews. 

“We cook a lot and these knives … are like cutting through butter. I would highly recommend them,” said one home chef.

“I’ve coveted my grandmother’s Henckels knives ever since I learned how to cook properly and understood the value of quality steel,” shared a fan. “The knives are weighty, sharp and well-balanced, making them a pleasure to use.”

“There is nothing to dislike about these knives,” gushed another. “They are lightweight and easy to use. They stay sharp for a long time and cut food like it’s softened butter. They clean easily, just be careful when washing them. They are extremely sharp and if you even slightly bump the blade it will cut you.”

These slip-on French terry shorts are smooth on the outside and soft on the inside. To make them even more comfortable, they have a drawstring and an elastic band around the waist. And unlike the regular (and mega-popular) Hanes Jersey Shorts, these are a bit longer for those who like to keep their thighs covered.

“These Hanes shorts are very well made,” a savvy shopper wrote. “I’ve had them for probably four months and they still look new. I’m a large person, but I feel that the fit is as flattering as it can be and I like that the short legs don’t ride up or bunch up at all. They stay comfortable all day long. Maybe part of that is from the length (which I also like a lot).”

Formulated to hydrate skin and reduce wrinkles over time, this eye cream aims to deliver visibly firmer, brighter skin. It boasts an impressive assortment of active ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, retinol and vitamin C. It has a well-designed applicator — cooling and angled — so you can enjoy its soothing benefits without pulling or tugging on delicate under-eye skin.

Actress Eva Longoria says she loves it because it’s so refreshing and fills in fine lines. She told Pop Sugar, “It feels so delicious.”

Amazon shoppers love it too. “I use the product around my eyes every morning,” said one happy customer. “No odor that I notice. Works great diminishing the bags and dark circles. Best of all the tube lasts me months when used as suggested. Feels great if kept cold in the fridge.”

This grill brush, made of gunk-busting stainless steel, is unique in that it doesn’t have bristles. And because it doesn’t have bristles, you won’t have to worry about any falling out and finding their way into your food — something that happens more often than you’d think. Simply dip the brush in water and rub it over your hot grill. The steam will help release any extra stubborn bits of charred food from the grates. 

“I have owned so many different grill bushes … This is the best one I’ve ever owned and it works incredibly well,” raved one shopper. “Even after dozens of uses, it shows no signs of wear or decomposing because it does not use steel wool or bristles. It is stainless steel wound wire that is abrasive on grates, and yet it doesn’t load the brush with grease … This will likely be the last grill brush you’ll ever buy!”

This linen top is so lightweight, you won’t overheat even on the hottest days, and it can shield you from the sun. It also has plenty of give, making the sleeves easy to roll up if you prefer a cuffed finish. And with a stylishly oversized fit, it’s loose and lovely regardless of what else you’re wearing. It comes in over 30 colors and patterns, and you can wear it with jeans, shorts or draped over a summer dress. It can double as a swimsuit cover-up as well.

“I love this blouse,” said one shopper. “The fit is loose without looking too boxy and true to size. The fabric is soft, light and flowy, and super comfortable. Tucked in or loose, open front or layered over another shirt, it looks trendy and cute.”

Need a quick way to cool off? These towels are easy to take wherever you go. Simply soak one in water, wring it out, shake it a few times and drape it around your neck for instant relief. 

“These cooling towels are magical and such a necessity for our Disney trips,” said one Amazon shopper. “It was over 100 with the heat index and wow did these towels make such a difference … These towels are 100% worth your money, and they work better than any fan does in that heat. These also don’t dry weird and they come with individual packages.”

If you sleep hot, these moisture-wicking pillows will help keep you comfortable. They’re filled with a plush down alternative that’s encased in a soft, breathable sateen cover. Score the set while they’re 73% off, and clip the on-page coupon for an additional 15% off — this will save you $92.

“My husband and I are very picky about our pillows, and we are pleasantly surprised at how comfortable these are,” said one five-star fan. “We are both side sleepers, and these have helped both of us have better nights of sleep. They support our necks without feeling like we are too propped up, and they offer enough give to help feel like our necks are being cradled. I’m glad I found these.”

Apple’s AirTag is one of the most powerful trackers you can get as an iPhone user. Simply connect it to your phone and use it to keep track of what matters — luggage, a purse, an expensive bike. You can also activate Lost Mode, which makes it play a loud sound. Grab this four-pack to put one in each family member’s suitcase the next time you travel.

“I recently purchased an Apple AirTag, and I have to say, it’s a game-changer for someone like me who tends to misplace things,” said one user. “Setting it up was a breeze — just a few taps on my iPhone, and it was ready to go. The precision finding feature is fantastic; it leads you right to your lost item with directions and haptic feedback, which feels like magic. I’ve attached one to my keychain and slipped another into my backpack, and so far, they’ve saved me a ton of time and frustration.”

From the makers of the Instant Pot, the Instant Vortex has four different functions that make cooking easy: air fry, bake, roast and reheat. It offers quick-touch buttons for using each function and has a 5.7-quart basket for cooking, which is large enough to hold a 2-pound bag of fries or a 4-pound chicken.

“I use this practically every day,” said one Amazon shopper. “I bought the air fryer in anticipation of our upcoming kitchen remodeling project, and it has become my go-to application for most baking, frying and roasting tasks. It also is a game-changer with leftovers. Things I used to avoid bringing home like cheese sticks, fries, nachos, and onion rings are easy to heat without turning to soggy, mushy globs. Now, these kinds of foods keep the crisp texture as well as great flavor. Definitely worth the money — this thing has paid for itself in less than a month!”

This 7.6-pound vacuum has powerful suction and a self-cleaning brush roll with PowerFins to clean floors and carpets without hair getting wrapped around it. Plus, it has MultiFlex technology to help you reach under furniture. It’s cordless and offers 40 minutes of run time before it needs a charge. 

“This vacuum has exceeded my expectations in every way!” said one Walmart shopper. “I feel like it picked up so much more than my other vacuum! It’s lightweight and folds in half for stand-alone storage. It also comes with a few attachments for different types of cleaning: The rubber ‘roller brush’ is made for easy cleaning. My daughter and I have very long hair so I was constantly cutting hair from the roller in my other vacuum. With the rubber roller, the hair does not get tangled easily. Very satisfied!”
