The Absolute Best Amazon Prime Day Deals (for Real) (We Looked)

Well, well, well — look who it is: that blowout sale that comes but once (well, sort of twice) a year: Amazon Prime Day. Sure, it’s not so hard to spot an 8% off, 11% off, or even 15% off deal on bits on bobs during other sporadic times of year; after all, Amazon is known for being a source of competitively priced goods, from blenders and vacuums to skincare and freeze-dried durian and Prada clothes for your Labubu. But Prime Day is when Bezos really blows the lid off the BIG deals — the ones you only see once a year.
Stuff is, generally speaking, getting expensive; you’ve noticed it, and we’ve noticed it. And thanks to the tariffs and other forces within the global economy, stuff is probably going to keep getting more and more expensive for the foreseeable future. Electronics, gadgets, and even spices, chocolate, and coffee are all predicted to rise considerably in price later this year. So when we see something that’s been lingering on our wishlist hitting up to 60% off (or more!), we’re inclined to say that if you’re gonna buy it, buy it for the best possible price — and it’s highly probable that the best possible price is to be found during Prime Day sales.
Our shopping team has been mining for gold in the streams of Amazon, and here are the absolute best deals we’ve found from our favorite brands.
Our top 15 overall best Prime Day deals
You can’t outdo the king of stand mixers. KitchenAid’s Art Deco-inspired appliance has been beautifying countertops and whipping up batches of cookies for over a century — and since it’s got the price tag to match its timelessness, it’s best to buy it when it’s on sale (aka now).

This professional-grade Vitamix blender
When I take in the power of Vitamix’s Propel 750 blender, I am reminded of that moment in Terminator 2 when the audience realizes that there is now another, even more high-tech Terminator that could make Arnold Schwarzenegger shake in his Harley-Davidson motorcycle boots. It’s just that powerful — and it’s $250 off for Prime Day.


The Moccamaster mid-century modern coffee maker is 45% off
Wes Anderson, come get your coffee machine. Little has changed about this sleek coffee machine by the Dutch company Technivorm, which first introduced its no-fuss coffee maker in 1969. (to date, it still comes with a built-in hot plate. Aww.) Grab it in classic black or off-white, flashy gold, juniper, retro pistachio and a few other colors for up to 45% off. (Did we mention that Gwyneth Paltrow has one of these in her guest house?)


A really nice Mikasa flatware set for 41% off
Something about our senior commerce editor: When she’s not editing this story or having strong opinions about the best martini olives, she’s ogling vintage Mikasa sets on eBay because the legendary Japanese-American brand has been making absolutely stunning tableware, stoneware, and flatware since 1948 and its pieces truly stand the test of time. If you’re still using bent, mismatched forks from IK*A that you’ve had since college, it’s time to make the upgrade to this 65-piece sset in hammered stainless steel. (There are a ton of other great Mikasa deals for Prime Day, too.)


The beloved Bissell Little Green machine is 26% off
Listen, if the Bissell Little Green machine has earned the approval of the often ferocious passionate Reddit vacuum forums, it deserves your consideration. For under $70, this very compact cleaner can really suck up all the dust and grime from your carpets and rugs — yes, including all of those crumbs from that time you DoorDash’d a bunch of Levain Bakery cookies.


For the coffee-obsessed, this OXO grinder
Chefs love OXO, and so do we; it just makes smarter, simpler kitchen gadgets at very reasonable prices. Take this coffee grinder, for instance; it has a whopping 15 settings, which means you’ll get the perfect grind for your beans, and right now, it’s under $75.


Save big on Stasher’s reusable food storage bags
Stasher makes silicone food storage containers that are attractive, space-efficient, BPA-free, and intended to replace that zipper-top plastic bag that shall not be named. Stasher has lots of deals coming for Prime Day, but one of the best is on this half-gallon bag for 30% off.


This maple wood Boos cutting board is on sale
John Boos’ coveted maple cutting boards have been made by the (still Midwestern-based) company since 1887, and we now lovingly refer to them as the Bugattis of cutting boards.

The Breville Smart Oven got top marks when we put it to the test — and it’s 20% off
Breville’s Smart Oven line punches way above its weight in terms of making baking, roasting, air frying, and beyond a seamless, easy, intuitive experience. In fact, the Breville Smart Oven took home rave reviews when we tested it against four other toaster ovens and hybrids. Sure, recent graduates or first-time apartment renters won’t know have a full-sized range in their apartments (been there), and that’s where a workhorse convection oven can come in so handy, but we think pretty much everyone could find that one of these in their kitchen slowly replaces several other major appliances.

The outdoor pizza oven: the Gozney Roccbox

The Roccbox is known for reaching high temperatures that result in super-authentic thin-curst pizza; plus, they’re user-friendly and versatile. Save $100 on one right now for Prime Day.


A 15-piece nonstick cookware set for under $50
This is one of those bonkers Prime Day deals where we look at the product, we look at the price, and we ask, how?, especially since this set has a 4.4-star rating and comes in five attractive colors. It’s probably not going to be quality on par with, say, Le Creuset, but it’s a great deal for a starter set for a first apartment or a college student.
