We’ve Found 265 Great Amazon Prime Day Deals Still Happening


Welcome to day two of Amazon Prime Day 2. The mega-retailer’s two-day sales event for Prime members may be winding down, but there are plenty of deals still going strong for a last push. We’re still gathering all the best markdowns on our favorite tech gear and gadgets, from Alexa-enabled speakers to robot vacs to laptops and tablets. The WIRED Reviews team tests products year-round, and at sales events like this, we only recommend deals on stuff we have actually used and approved. We sorted through thousands of deals by hand to make these picks.

Featured October Prime Day Deal

Updated: Oct 9 2025, 01:12 AM

Petkit Purobot Max Pro $ 588 $ 411

Petkit’s newest model is an improvement on older models, with an even bigger opening (great for chonky cats), a camera tucked inside, and extra deodorizing sprays.

Updated October 8, 2025: We’ve added a batch of fresh deals and removed some dead ones.

The Best Fire Tablet Deals

Courtesy of Best Buy

The Fire HD 10 is Amazon’s best tablet for most people. The current model dates from 2023, but the Octa Core processor is plenty fast enough for consuming Amazon Prime content, which is really the primary reason to buy a Fire tablet. The full HD (1080p) screen won’t win any awards, but it’s good enough for streaming movies. Fire tablets can do double duty as an Echo speaker, too. Turn on Show Mode (swipe down on the notification overlay and check the Show Mode box) and you can query Alexa to your heart’s content. There are 32 GB and 64 GB models, with a microSD slot on both so you can add up to 1 TB of storage if you need more space. Whichever you choose, spend the $15 more for the version without “special offers,” which is what we’ve linked to here. —Scott Gilbertson

Amazon

Kindle Colorsoft and Colorsoft Signature Edition

We love the Kindle Colorsoft for its gorgeous screen, but the retail price makes it tough to justify. This deal changes that, and it’s well worth it if you need a new Kindle. The full-color screen is really nice when browsing your library, and it’s a must-have if you’re into comic books and graphic novels. We think it’s worth spending the extra $10 to get the Signature edition, which comes with wireless charging, an auto-adjusting front light, and twice the storage. —Nena Farrell

Best Wi-Fi Router Deal

Looking for the best mesh Wi-Fi system? Look no further. The Wi-Fi 7 Netgear Orbi 770 Series is my current pick for most households. This tri-band mesh (2.4-, 5-, and 6-GHz) is simple to set up and use, delivers stable and speedy internet connectivity, and boasts expansive coverage. The stylish tower design is fairly unobtrusive, while the internal antennas ensure every corner of your home can get online. You also get the key benefits of Wi-Fi 7, including MLO (Multi-Link Operation) to enable Wi-Fi 7 devices to connect on multiple bands simultaneously. Basic security is built in, but you do have to subscribe for enhanced security and parental controls, if you want them. Simon Hill

Best Storage Deal

Western Digital

Elements Desktop Hard Drive (14 TB)

This isn’t the sexiest hard drive around, but for incremental backups, which we recommend, speed isn’t a factor. That’s why I recommend this Western Digital Elements hard drive. These drives are big and require external power, but they’re some of the cheapest, most reliable drives I’ve used. I have been using a variation of the Elements desktop hard drive to make incremental backups of my data for more than a decade. Transfer speeds are not off the charts—the Elements drive I tested scored 120 megabytes per second (MB/s) for sequential writes on Windows—but again, you should ideally be running backups overnight anyway, and even at these speeds the average PC backup will be done by morning. These drives use USB-C with support for USB 3, and I’ve had no problem using them with Windows, macOS, and Linux. —Scott Gilbertson

Best Amazon Echo Deal

Amazon

Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen)

My favorite Echo Show device is on sale for Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, and it’s one of the devices you can actually enjoy Alexa+ on (if you’ve gotten early access, that is). It’s a Goldilocks device: not too small to actually use the screen, but also not so large that it’s too hard to place on a kitchen counter or similar space around your home. It’s one of my all-time favorite Alexa speakers and smart displays for a reason. I use it for everything, from asking for recipe replacements while I cook to playing the K-Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack again for my son. There’s a new version coming later this month, but it certainly won’t be on sale for this cheap anytime soon. —Nena Farrell

  • Echo Pop for $25 ($15 off): This is Amazon’s cheapest speaker, and it’s certainly not bad for the price. You’ll get much better sound spending a little more on the Echo Dot, though, or a fun half-screen on the Echo Spot.
  • Echo Dot (5th Gen) for $35 ($15 off): This is my favorite budget smart speaker, and while on sale it’s a crazy good deal. It’s got impressive sound and Alexa support in a tiny form factor.
  • Echo Spot (2nd Gen) for $45 ($35 off): I love this little partial display. There’s no camera and you can customize the clockface, making it a fun bedside clock option.
  • Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) for $55 ($35 off): This mini version of the Echo Show devices is a little too small to really enjoy the screen, but I’ve liked using it as a workout speaker to see the songs or tap to pause.

Best Charging Deal

Belkin

2-in-1 Wireless Charging Pad

Belkin’s latest wireless charger supporting the new Qi2 charging standard is already down to its lowest price ever. It dropped from $80 to just $40 for Prime Day. As the name lets on, this is a 2-in-1 charger that has a 15W Qi2 pad for your phone, alongside a smaller 5W zone for AirPods. My favorite addition is the spare USB-C port, though. You get a spare 5W port to plug in another device to charge, which is still necessary for most people—not all our favorite gadgets are pushing power through magnets just yet. —Jacob Roach

Best Portable Power Station Deal

The best portable power stations offer the freedom to go off-grid and keep your gadgets powered, and the Solix C1000 is my pick for happy campers. It has two molded handles for easy carrying, weighs just shy of 30 pounds, and sports a handy LED bar on the front with three brightness levels. It boasts a 1,056-watt-hour capacity, can fast charge smartphones, and has no trouble with small appliances. I used this power station to work on my PC when my house was being rewired recently, and a full charge got me through the workday. It can also serve as an uninterruptible power supply with a 20-millisecond delay. —Simon Hill

Best Streaming Gear Deal

Courtesy of Elgato

I love the Elgato Stream Deck Mini because it’s one of those products that is what you make of it. It’s an enabler. Instead of telling you what it does, a Stream Deck asks what you want it to do, and it does a damn good job of that. Use it to speed up creative workloads, or maybe to have media controls within arm’s reach. Bind complex Excel functions to a button or swap between apps without a second thought. There are massive Stream Decks available for productivity power users, but this Prime Day, you can pick up the six-button Stream Deck Mini for just $50. —Jacob Roach

The Best Camera Deal

The Hero 13 Black is our favorite GoPro. The new interchangeable lens system offers many more shooting options than any other action camera we’ve tested. In addition to the standard wide-angle action camera lens, you can also invest in an Ultra Wide ($100), Macro ($120), and Anamorphic ($120) lens. All of these are automatically detected by the Hero 13 the minute you attach them. The camera will automatically adjust settings accordingly, which is a very slick feature that makes switching lenses on the fly simple and smooth. Read our full GoPro Hero 13 review for more details on how the lens system works and why we love it. Scott Gilbertson

Best MacBook Deal

Apple

MacBook Air (M4, 2025)

I’ve been recommending the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air (9/10, WIRED Recommends) all year, and I’m not about to stop. It’s simply the best laptop you can buy, especially for the price. Unlike MacBooks of the past, the MacBook Air is actually a great deal, especially now that it comes with 16 GB of RAM. It’s such an incredibly balanced laptop—both thin and surprisingly powerful, without any major compromises, whether that’s the display, the webcam, the speakers, or the keyboard. The MacBook Air has it all. Because of how powerful and long-lasting the MacBook Air is, most people simply don’t need anything like the MacBook Pro. —Luke Larsen

Best Laptop Deal

Microsoft

Surface Laptop (7th Edition, 2024)

I test new laptops almost every week, but I keep coming back to the Surface Laptop 7th Edition. It’s a fantastic MacBook alternative in its own right, both sleek and designerly. Though it launched last year, it uses the Snapdragon X Elite chip, providing fantastic performance and battery life. But it’s the 120-Hz screen with its unique 3:2 aspect ratio panel that always draws me to it, which gives you more vertical height than the average laptop has. It will likely be many more months before Qualcomm’s next-gen Snapdragon X2 chips come out, so the Surface Laptop 7th Edition is still safe to buy. Just don’t confuse this with the newer, cheaper Surface Laptop 13, which lacks many of the things I appreciate most about the larger, 13.8-inch model. Luke Larsen

Branch

Ergonomic Chair Pro

Branch’s Ergonomic Chair Pro is our top office chair recommendation for most people. It strikes the best balance between comfort, adjustability, design, and price. Seriously, I have tested dozens and dozens of chairs and have yet to come across an office chair under $500 that matches Branch’s quality. You can adjust the seat depth, lock the recline, and there’s even a seat tilt if you want a more active sitting position. The lumbar support is height-adjustable, and you can push it in or out. The standard version is a comfortable mesh fabric, but you can opt for vegan leather or real leather. Branch is having a sitewide 20 percent off sale right now, and it runs through October 8. —Julian Chokkattu

Best Keyboard & Mouse Deal

Logitech

MX Master 3S For Mac

The MX Master 3S is one of the most iconic mice in the world—and for good reason. While it’s true that the long-awaited MX Master 4 has just come out, we still advise saving some cash on the MX Master 3S while you can, especially since there is a Mac-specific version if that floats your boat. The MX Master 3S is a do-it-all office mouse that manages to have great ergonomic support, performance, and features all in one. That also meant that it was historically quite expensive for a mouse, which is why picking it up on discount is such a good idea. The MX Master 4 looks flashier, but when it comes to bang for your buck, the MX Master 3S is still the gold standard. —Luke Larsen

Dell

32 Plus 4K QD-OLED Monitor (S3225QC)

A Prime Day price of $680 feels ridiculous for how much monitor you’re getting with the Dell 32 Plus 4K QD-OLED. It’s still one of the few OLED monitors that isn’t aimed at gamers, making it a fantastic option for video editors and content creators. It can shoot up to over 1,000 nits of peak brightness in HDR, which should help democratize HDR video editing. Thanks to its strong audio and excellent image quality, it’s just as good for gaming and entertainment, bringing scenes to life in glorious depth of color and contrast. There is, simply, nothing else like it out there right now. —Luke Larsen

Best Android Phone Deals

The best unlocked phone you can buy—one that manages to offer all the top features you need for a palatable price—is the Google Pixel 9a. This crazy $150 discount makes it an absolute must-have, either as your new smartphone, a device for your parents, or a second phone to have around. Performance is excellent thanks to the use of the flagship Tensor G4 chip, and the dual-camera system is very reliable. You get tons of smart software features, including some of the best call-screening technology in the business, along with wireless charging, an IP68 rating, and seven years of software support. —Julian Chokkattu

Total Protection Unlimited

If you need a little extra protection for your devices, you can pick up McAfee Total Protection at a steep discount this Prime Day. How steep? Eighty-three percent off for a year, and with protection for unlimited devices. McAfee Total Protection includes the expected antivirus, of course, but more importantly, it comes with scam protection for your phone, a password manager, and even identity theft monitoring. —Jacob Roach

Best Indoor Security Camera Deal

Crisp video, local storage, and accurate AI to detect subjects: What more do you want in a security camera? The TP-Link Tapo C120 tops our best indoor security cameras guide for a host of reasons. The video resolution goes up to 2K, and this camera supports color night vision. It can tell the difference between people, pets, and vehicles. There’s also two-way audio support and a siren function for scaring intruders away. The C120 has a slot for up to 512-GB microSD cards, so there’s no need to subscribe or send video to the cloud. It’s a shame the frame rate maxes out at 20 and you need the Tapo Care subscription to get snapshots in your notifications, but even at its regular price, this camera is a bargain. —Simon Hill

Snag the Arlo Pro 5S if you want top-notch video quality, the best notifications in the business, and wide smart-home support. This clever device is the best outdoor security camera on the market right now, and also offers color night vision, a spotlight and siren, and a slick app that’s swift to load the live feed. The AI detection can accurately determine when a person, animal, vehicle, or package is in frame, and alerts come through to your phone reliably wherever you are. There’s also clear and relatively lag-free two-way audio. The catch is that you need a subscription, starting at $5 per month for a single camera, to unlock all the best features. —Simon Hill

Best Smart Lock Deal

U-Tec Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro

Ultraloq makes a ton of different smart locks, and the on-sale U-Bolt Pro is just one of many that we’ve tested. It can be a little confusing to navigate the lineup, and while we didn’t have great experiences with the Fingerprint with HomeKit and Matter models, the Pro (and regular Fingerprint) smart lock worked well in WIRED reviewer Julian Chokkattu’s home. This lock is easy to install, has built-in Wi-Fi and a fingerprint sensor, and uses four AA batteries that Julian found last about two months. There’s a hidden keyhole to use as a backup, plus a charging port (unfortunately a Micro USB port, rather than the more popular USB-C). The lock works with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings, and IFTTT. Nena Farrell

Best Smart Bird Feeder Deal

Netvue

Birdfy Plastic Smart Bird Feeder

There is no shortage of smart feeders on the market, but this is our top pick in our guide to the Best Smart Bird Feeders for its reliability and easy-to-use app. It consistently captures 1080p photos and video—though only on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi—and the 1.5 L seed compartment is easy to fill. Note, however, that this price is for the version that does not come with a solar panel, so you will have to bring it inside to charge, nor does it come with a lifetime subscription, so the app will cost $4 a month if you want full functionality, such as AI identification. But your recipient will still be able to see birds without it. Kat Merck

Granary Smart Camera Feeder

I’ve tested a dozen automatic pet feeders, and the Petlibro Granary Smart Camera Feeder has remained my top pick after all this time. You can control it near or far via an app, where you adjust feeding schedules and feed on demand. It has a 1080p HD camera with night vision and two-way audio so you can watch, hear, and talk to your pet even when far away. The app is easy to use with extremely customizable feeding plans with meals that you label individually. For just over $100, this camera-feeder combo is well worth the money for the peace of mind it provides. Molly Higgins

Best Automatic Litter Box Deal

I’m currently testing this automatic litter box; it’s Petkit’s newest model, and so far, I’m impressed. It’s an improvement on older models, with an even bigger opening (great for my chonky cats), a camera tucked inside, and extra deodorizing sprays so things always stay fresh. The HD AI-powered camera has an extra wide 210 degree viewing angle to see everything inside the box, and IR night vision. The AI camera recognizes your cat and logs usage, has stool footage to review, and monitors changes over time, alerting if anything is amiss. With the connected app you can review footage and usage. Plus, this model has a semi-automatic bag sealing design, making emptying dirty litter easier than ever. At 30 percent off, it’s the biggest discount on this brand new model we’ve seen this year. —Molly Higgins

Best Electric Transportation Deal

Last year’s Apollo Go electric scooter triangulates a number of specs—it is not the lightest, nor the fastest, scooter you will ever try, but it combines decent speed with decent range at a weight that is not backbreaking to carry. Editor Julian Chokkattu really likes how you’re able to customize your gearing in the app, so if you only want to ever go 15 mph instead of maxing it out at 28 mph, you can just set it in the app and go. It also has a ton of nice commuter extras, like a bell, excellent turn signals, LED lighting for visibility, a headlight, and a dot display that is super visible in broad daylight. —Adrienne So

The TCL QM8K is one of the best LED TVs we’ve tested all year, and it’s on a very hot sale for Prime Day. This TV starts things off with blazing (and we mean eye-blinding) brightness, matched by rich black levels with very little light bleed. That leads to incredible contrast, which makes its vivid yet natural colors all the more impressive. You’re also getting great gaming features like VRR at up to 165-Hz, a stylish design, and an intuitive Google TV interface to run the show. This is premium performance at about half the price of many competitors, making for a great way to raise your TV game on a budget. —Ryan Waniata

Best Soundbar and Speaker Deal

Yamaha’s SR-C30A is the quintessential sub and soundbar combo. It’s easy to use and sounds great, and its svelte design easily fits below most TVs. It’s got multiple inputs, including HDMI eARC for seamless TV connection, and even an aux port for legacy devices like a turntable. You won’t get Wi-Fi in the package, but it supports Bluetooth for simplified streaming. The sound quality is a major improvement over virtually every TV we’ve tested, and the compact subwoofer provides some cinematic boom to go with clear effects and dialog up top. This system regularly sells for $300, making this a solid sale that’s worth grabbing for anyone looking to upgrade their TV audio with one of the best soundbars around. —Ryan Waniata

We have been big fans of JBL’s Bluetooth speaker models for many generations, but the JBL Flip 7 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is our favorite model yet. It is a truly life-proof speaker, with IP68 dust and water resistance and an excellent drop-tested case. We love the simple, tube-shaped design and the included loop that makes it very easy to pick up and take with you or hang from a pack. Sound wise, it is clear, punchy, and surprisingly full, with 14 hours of playback that can last all day. It also features Auracast, which allows it to pair up other new JBL models. —Parker Hall

If you want high-end earbuds but don’t want to pay full price, now is a great time to snag the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 (9/10, WIRED Reviews). These adorable little headphones are perfect for smaller ears thanks to their button-like design, and they feature all the bells and whistles you’d associate with more expensive models like the Apple AirPods Pro 3. These integrate with Google’s Gemini AI and various other Google products (like Translate, which works extremely well for bi-lingual conversations), to provide some of the widest range of features I’ve seen in a pair of buds. Soundwise, they’re nice and clean, with the included noise canceling not quite keeping up with Apple’s brand new buds, but holding its own for nearly $100 cheaper. —Parker Hall

Best Fitness Tracker Deal

Fitbit Charge 6

This comes with the big caveat that this tracker is getting pretty long in the tooth. Google is integrating almost all of Fitbit’s health features into its Pixel Watch series, so I’m not sure if or when Fitbit’s flagship line will be updated. With that said, this is absolutely the price you should be paying for a basic fitness tracker that you just want to track your sleep and your steps, have a ton of useful Google integrations like navigation with Google Maps, and work with both iOS and Android. It’s attractive, durable, and you get to use Fitbit’s premium app and health features. Who knows what will happen next year, but for now, the Charge 6 is still a win. —Adrienne So

Personal Water Filter

Lifestraw’s personal water filter is a long time favorite of WIRED readers. It’s extremely small, cheap, and light, and it works. It earned a spot in our guide to the best backpacking water filters. The main problem with the Lifestraw is that you have to use the force of your sucking to get the water through the filter, which is not for everyone. You also can’t use it to filter water for cooking. If you need something more, check out the Lifestraw Go, which is also on sale. —Scott Gilbertson

The Typhur Dome 2 looks like the future, and kinda cooks like it. For more than a decade, the best air fryers all looked pretty much the same: They looked like the first basket air fryer from Philips. This bulbous Typhur is built differently, to maximize cooking surface and air flow across a large cooking plate. The temperature and fan control are precise but variable. And it heats from both top and the bottom heating elements. The result? It’ll crisp two dozen wings in 14 minutes, or even bake a frozen pizza and get an actual crisp crust. A griddle function will legitimately brown meats. A self-clean function also means it won’t stink up your house if you use it for bacon. It’s usually listed at a price to match its performance—but currently it’s on sale for a hell of a deal. —Matthew Korfhage

Luxe Cafe Premier Series Espresso Machine

Look, we didn’t expect a real espresso contender from Ninja on their first go. But this beginner-friendly semi-automatic machine—with a built-in conical burr grinder that grinds by weight—was the pleasant surprise of last year. The Ninja Luxe Cafe Premier impressed WIRED reviewer Tyler Shane not just for its value, but also for the shockingly good automatic milk steaming, the auto-tamping on the portafilter, and the built-in scale. It’s not perfect: The cold brew and drip coffee functions are merely “fine.” But this is the lowest price we’ve ever seen this machine. And it’s a great gift for the espresso beginner in your life, even if that’s you. —Matthew Korfhage

This robot vacuum from Dreame is one of our favorites for its range of features, but it’s especially our best robot vacuum for pets. Why? It pings you to re-clean particularly dirty spots, like right in front of the litter box or in front of the dog’s dog bed. The software is really impressive. It also has double roll brushes to reduce tangling, plus side arms to edge-clean more effectively, in addition to the usual large-capacity docking station with clean and dirty water tanks, self-emptying bag, and hot-water mop washing. —Adrienne So

The Dyson V15 Detect is our current favorite Dyson vacuum, and one of our favorite stick vacuums to boot. It’s an all-around great stick vacuum with Dyson’s power, a range of attachments, and a trigger-style power button. The Plus version is on sale right now, which has a slightly different set of attachments and is otherwise the same vacuum. I like the trigger button for things like cleaning stairs, but it can be a little annoying to use in larger rooms. With the attachments you’ll get a crevice tool, a dusting brush, a hair screw tool, and two cleaner heads, which include the Fluffy Optic cleaner head that shoots out a green laser, making it easy to find all the debris hiding on hard surfaces. You’ll get all this for a pretty reasonable price usually, but we especially love to see this vacuum on sale, like it is right now. —Nena Farrell

It’s Dyson’s Hot+Cool HP10, the most “sophisticated home atmospheric management tool” WIRED reviewer Matthew Korfhage tested for his guide to the Best Space Heaters. (Well, technically, that was the smart-version HP7, but this is the same thing minus the app.) Featuring Dyson’s classic ellipse, this version is not smart, but it does have a remote that sticks magnetically to the body, as well as oscillation up to 350 degrees and a fully enclosed HEPA system. Keep in mind that even though the sale price is still a bit steep, it’s still less expensive than buying a separate heater, fan, and air purifier—and it’s easier to store. —Kat Merck

WIRED’s air quality expert, contributor Lisa Wood Shapiro, considers this True HEPA Coway to be the best bang for your buck when it comes to air purifiers, and I agree—I’ve had one in my kitchen for over three years now. I like the slim profile (less than 10 inches), which makes it easy to site, and the fact that it can effectively exchange the air in a 361-square-foot room (the size of a small bedroom or office) the recommended 4.8 times per hour. It’s already a fine deal at its MSRP of $240, but sales like Prime Day and Black Friday are typically the only times to snag one for under $200. —Kat Merck

Brooklinen

Luxe Sateen Core Sheet Set

Brooklinen’s sateen sheets are already our favorite cotton sateen sheets you can find on Amazon, and those great sheets are on sale for Amazon’s Prime Big Deals Days, along with the rest of Brooklinen’s Amazon storefront (clip the 20% off coupon). These sheets use long-staple cotton to add extra softness, and sateen’s three-over-one weave style is already loved for being a silky-soft bedsheet. These sheets are Oeko-Tex certified, too, meaning they’re free from harmful chemicals (but not fully organic). I also love that there are tags that say which side is long and short, which is a relief to find whenever I’m making the bed. —Nena Farrell

Snooz

Smart White Noise Sound Machine

I’ve tested a lot of white noise machines, but Snooz remains one of the best in my book. The materials feel substantial and of high quality, and the simplicity of the design epitomizes the “set it and forget it” concept. Since an internal fan creates the noise, it is a gentler white noise than what I sometimes hear on other machines. —Julia Forbes

Best Grooming Deal

Philips

Norelco Multigroom 7000, MG7790

This Philips Norelco is already a champion of versatility matched with low cost—a Swiss army knife of beard, head, burns, and eyebrow guards with a nose trimmer to boot. The trimmer is high-rpm, but still quiet. The guardless blade shaves closer than most, and the shaving foil is even better. The battery lasts more than five hours. Its metal chassis offers comforting durability and heft. And unlike Philips’ 9000 series, it can trim while plugged into the wall. The only real drawback is all those guards are difficult to sort and keep track of. Anyway, it’s on a good sale from its already excellent price. —Matthew Korfhage

Best Apparel Deal

Champion

Reverse Weave Sweatshirt

The best hoodie you can buy on Amazon gets a steep price cut for Prime Day. Champion’s iconic reverse-weave hoodie is the father of the format, and still holds its own in a world where every brand makes its own version. The fabric is sturdy but stretchy and ages gracefully over many wash cycles. —Martin Cizmar

Best Video Game Deal

The Razer Huntsman Mini is an adorable 60-percent keyboard. It’s similar to a full-size keyboard, but it’s missing the arrow keys and number pad—so you’ll get only what you really need. If you’re on the hunt for a slightly smaller keyboard than full-size, this one is worth looking into. The keys are responsive and satisfyingly clicky, and the footprint will take up less space on your desk. Like all the best computer peripherals, you can customize the RGB lights and even add on Razer keycap kits. —Louryn Strampe

Tactile and tactical tile-based fun as you compete to craft patterns and match tiles to maximize your score at the end of each round. These ceramic tiles are inspired by the Alhambra palace in southern Spain, and the Portuguese king has employed you as a tile-laying artist to embellish the walls of his Royal Palace of Evora. One of the best family board games, Azul is beautiful, easy to grasp, and has wide appeal, but supports layers of strategy that boost the replay value. —Simon Hill

Best Baby and Parenting Deal

  • Courtesy of Nanit

While I’m more of a radio-based baby monitor type of person, the Nanit Pro has easily remained my favorite Wi-Fi-based baby monitor. It’s got it all: easy setup! Lots of monitor base options (including a massive floor stand)! An intuitive app! The only thing it doesn’t have is its own parent unit, but instead, your phone becomes the parent unit, with options to get alerts from the app or even have your phone constantly stream the audio from your baby’s room to listen for waking up and rustling around. The Nanit Pro’s 1080p camera makes it easy to keep an eye on your baby whether you’re home or away, as long as you’ve got access to the app. The app also provides a ton of data, like which spot of the crib your baby slept in the most and how often there were wake-ups and visits from mom and dad. There are some subscription levels to get the best data, and even accessories you can add on to track breathing and your baby’s size, but you can still get the best of what Nanit has to offer—a super streamlined baby monitor experience—without the extras. Snag it on sale now, it’s worth it. —Nena Farrell

Frequently Asked Prime Day Questions

Amazon Prime Day is a sale for members of the online retailer’s shopping program—most people sign up to get free shipping, but you also get lots of other perks like Thursday Night NFL football (mostly divisional matchups though Vikings-Chargers in two weeks is interesting). Prime Day includes tens of thousands of deals only available to Prime members, not including $1.50 hot dogs (a Costco membership is required for that).

Is Prime Big Deal Days Different?

Not really. Prime Day is in July and—following what we can only imagine are heated debates inside a Seattle conference room overlooking the Puget Sound, with the smell of fresh Starbucks percolating in the hall as master marketers respectfully exchange divergent philosophies—only in July. Amazon has tried a number of ways of distinguishing its autumnal sale, including the very catchy “Prime Fall Deal Event” and “Prime Early Access Sale.” All are multi-day sales events for Prime members.

Do You Need a Subscription to Shop?

You do, though you can get a free trial and cancel within a month. More than likely you will join more than a hundred million other Americans in signing up with the intention of canceling only to realize you’re addicted to free shipping and want to see the Cowboys-Lions game the week after Thanksgiving.

It lasts for just shy of 48 hours, starting in the wee hours of October 7 and going through October 8 at midnight EST.

Are There Other Sales Going On?

Yes, competitors like Walmart and Best Buy are getting in on the action with their own rival sales.

Many of them are, many of them are not—that’s why we’re working in shifts, sorting through them to spotlight actual discounts on the gear we have tested and approved.

Every Model of this New Snoopy MoonSwatch Is Different—And You Can Only Get One When It Snows

Every Model of this New Snoopy MoonSwatch Is Different—And You Can Only Get One When It Snows


First a confession: I own more MoonSwatches than I care to admit. Never let it be said that WIRED does not walk the walk when it comes to recommending products—Swatch has assiduously extracted a considerable amount of cash from me, all in $285 increments. This was no doubt the Swiss company’s dastardly plan all along, to lure us in, then, oh so gently, get watch fans hooked. The horological equivalent of boiling a frog. It’s worked, too—Swatch has, so far, netted hundreds of millions of dollars from MoonSwatch sales.

But while I’ve been a fan of the Omega X Swatch mashup since we reported on exactly how the hugely lucrative collaboration came to be in the first place, I have never liked the iterative Moonshine Gold versions. Employing a sliver of Omega’s exclusive 18K pale yellow gold alloy in marginally different ways on each design, they seemed almost cynical—a way of milking the MoonSwatch superfans on the hunt to complete the set.

Now, though, just when I thought I was done with MoonSwatch—having gone as far as to upgrade all of mine with official $45 color-matching rubber straps—Swatch has managed to ensnare me once again, and with a Moonshine Gold model: the new MoonSwatch Mission To Earthphase Moonshine Gold Cold Moon.

Clumsy moniker aside, this version takes the all-white 2024 Snoopy model (WIRED’s top pick of the entire collection), mixes it with the Earthphase MoonSwatches, and replaces the inferior original strap for a superior white and blue Swatch rubber velcro one. Aesthetically, it’s definitely a win, but this is not the Cold Moon’s party trick.

On each $450 Cold Moon MoonSwatch, a snowflake is lasered onto its Moonshine Gold moon phase indicator—and, just like a real snowflake, Swatch claims each one will be completely unique. When you consider the volumes of MoonSwatches Swatch produces each year, this is no mean feat.

The Google Pixel 10 is one of the best Android phones you can buy. Easy to recommend at full price, the Pixel 10 is an absolute bargain with this discount. You get an excellent triple-camera system with a 5X optical zoom sensor, support for Qi2 wireless charging, so you can magnetically attach to wireless chargers and docks, and Google’s super smart software features (Call Screen to filter out spam calls is our favorite). Learn more in the Best Pixel Phones guide.

The Pixel 9a is our top smartphone choice for most people, and it’s now $50 cheaper than it was on Black Friday itself. At $349, you’re getting a smooth-performing smartphone with a reliable dual-camera system that’s unmatched at this price, not to mention day-long battery life and a completely flat camera lens system for anyone who hates giant camera bumps. Oh, and it’ll get 7 years of software updates.

Sony A7IV Camera Body

Sony’s A7 IV is the best mirrorless camera on the market (for most people). It’s a 33-megapixel, full-frame camera with a brilliant autofocus system, impressive dynamic range, and crisp images. There’s an expansive range of 4K video options as well, along with customizable buttons to set up your preferences, so you don’t have to always rummage through the menus. Reviewer Scott Gilbertson found the grip to be super comfortable and the camera to be light enough to endure for long periods without any back strain. —Boutayna Chokrane

Soundcore by Anker

Aeroclip

If you’re shopping for open earbuds so that you can enjoy your music but still be aware of your surroundings, the Soundcore Aeroclip is the best we’ve tested so far. Reviewer Ryan Waniata praises the comfort, sound quality, usability, and value. The sound is wide and balanced, and the built-in controls are ideal for runs. Waniata likes to use them during outdoor activities, like hiking or biking, but he finds them especially helpful when he’s cooking dinner and needs to stay alert for his newborn’s cries. —Boutayna Chokrane

Editor Adrienne So says the Fitbit Ace LTE is the first fitness tracker she’s gotten her kids to use. It’s a fitness tracker (designed with Fitbit’s health sensors), gaming device, and location tracker. The $10/monthly subscription includes both LTE connectivity and Fitbit Arcade, which has a variety of movement-based games that get children on their feet and incentivize them to keep their watches on. They can call and text their guardians (and other approved contacts) through the Fitbit Ace app, and their location is trackable via Google Find My. —Boutayna Chokrane

Philips Hue Festavia lights

This is a rare and tasty deal on my favorite Xmas lights. They work indoors or out, can be scheduled, and support a bunch of lovely animated effects. While I’m mentioning Philips Hue and its excellent but horribly expensive wares, you might want to check out some of its other Cyber Monday deals. My picks would be the wall washers ($316), TV lightstrip ($129), and HDMI sync box ($270).

The Asus RT-BE58U is perhaps the ideal Wi-Fi 7 upgrade for modest homes and apartments still struggling with the crappy router their internet service provider sent, and that’s why it tops our Best Wi-Fi Routers guide. It’s easy to set up and use, can cover up to 2,000 square feet, and boasts plenty of ports. As a dual-band router, it lacks the 6-GHz band, but has all the other advantages of Wi-Fi 7. There’s also support for VPN service, separate IoT or guest networks, and Ai Mesh.

Don’t ask me why they keep taking our ports away. God forbid you should want to plug something into your laptop. Well, you can stick it to those minimalist designers with the best laptop docking station. This one doubles as a wedge to prop your laptop up and has a storage slot.

These wireless noise-canceling headphones may not be the latest release from Sony, but they are still an excellent pair of cans with a far deeper discount. The Sony WH-1000XM5 are relatively light and comfortable, producing accomplished sound in every scenario, and have great control options.

You can spend a lot on a TV, but you can also get a great screen without breaking the bank, and the TCL QM6K proves it. This is the best TV for most people right now as it offers excellent color and processing, all the apps you want, and great performance, even in bright rooms. There are discounts across the range of screen sizes.

Roku

Streaming Stick Plus (2025)

If you want to get the latest streaming apps on an older TV, the Roku Streaming Stick Plus is for you. It’s easy to set up, works reliably, and has a handy voice remote that makes finding content easier than ever. It slots neatly behind most TVs, and Roku’s interface is nice and clear.

Apple doesn’t really do sales, but other retailers do. This is the lowest price we’ve seen on a solid iPad the whole family can enjoy. The Apple iPad (A16, 2025) performs great for most tasks, looks pretty nice, and has a 12-megapixel camera. It is honestly all the iPad most folks need for surfing the web and streaming shows in bed. With iPadOS 26 and the new windowing apps feature, you can even comfortably do some work if you pair it with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

Handy as they are for keeping you connected when your phone dies unexpectedly, portable chargers can be very same-y. The reason the Nimble Champ tops our Best Power Banks guide is Nimble’s focus on the environment. It’s made from 90 percent certified recycled plastic and comes in fully biodegradable packaging. It also works well, with capacities starting from 5,200 mAh, with USB-A and USB-C ports, and up to 15-watt charging.

Amazon

Kindle Paperwhite (2024, 12th Generation)

Yes, you should read more, and Amazon’s Kindle e-readers make it easier to do exactly that. Our current favorite is the Kindle Paperwhite (12th generation). It has a sharp 7-inch display, auto-adjusting warm light, three-month battery life, snappy performance, and it’s slim and light, making it comfortable to hold. It even has integration with Overdrive for your library books and support for several languages.

The reMarkable 2 is one of the best digital notebooks, offering a paperlike writing experience, intuitive software, and several weeks of battery life. This is a budget model, so it lacks front light and color, but it’s still a decent device. Bundles where you choose both a marker and folio are heavily discounted right now, and they’re not often on sale, so it’s a good time to snap one up.

Keychron boards are popular here at WIRED, and the Q6 HE is our current pick of the best mechanical keyboards. Sturdy, satisfying to type on, with a lovely retro aesthetic, what more do you need? Well, the Q6 HE also boasts hot-swappable Hall Effect switches, four macro keys, and is relatively easy to customize or repair.

Nomad

65W Slim Power Adapter

The great thing about Nomad’s 65-watt charger is that it’s incredibly slim, with flip-out prongs, so it can slip easily into small pockets in your bag or purse. You get dual USB-C ports, and can pull 45 watts out of the left port and 20 out of the right. Or, if you’re just charging one device, the full 65 watts is enough for any phone, most tablets, and even some MacBooks or Windows laptops (though they may not charge at top speed).

You know what I don’t miss in the slightest? Mowing the lawn. A good robot mower, like this relatively affordable one from newcomer Anthbot, will do it for you, quietly. No wire required; it recharges itself, you just set a schedule and relax. OK, it sometimes leaves a verge, but the only model I’ve tried that doesn’t is more than twice the price.

Sharp 2K video, color night vision, a wide 160-degree field of view, and clear two-way audio make the Arlo Pro 5S easy to recommend for folks seeking a security camera. You also get AI recognition for people and pets, a siren to scare intruders, and the quick-loading Arlo app. But you need Arlo Secure ($8 per month for one camera or $13 per month for unlimited cameras) for subject recognition, smart alerts, and cloud storage. The Arlo Pro 5S is our pick of the best outdoor security cameras.

I love my Oura Ring 4. It accurately tracks my sleep, activity, and stress levels and offers insights that I find genuinely useful. It’s also very comfortable, the app is super slick, with new features being added all the time, and it’s far less obtrusive than any other kind of tracker you could wear. The catch is a subscription, but this is still the best of the best smart rings.

It’s the thoughtful design that elevates the Backbone One above the rest of the best mobile controllers. Slot your phone into the compact cradle, with a USB-C jack for speedy connectivity, and you get satisfyingly clicky and responsive controls plus a 3.5-mm headphone port. You can also customize it for different games, or even use Backbone’s software as a one-stop gaming hub, if you’re willing to pay a subscription.

Ray-Ban

Meta Smart Glasses

Yes, there is a new version of the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarers, but the good news is that the old pair is now on sale. If you can stomach Meta AI’s privacy policies, there’s a strong argument that it has won the smart glasses race already (at least, so far). The best smart glasses must be easy to wear, and these look great and help offload things from your phone, so you don’t have to dip into that pocket quite as much.

The JBL Flip 7 is the Bluetooth speaker that has it all. It’s durable, it has stamina, it produces a punchy sound, and it comes in fun colors. As the best Bluetooth speaker you can buy, this deal is for real.

Tonies Toniebox speaker

Toniebox is our favorite speaker for young kids, particularly ages three through seven. It’s essentially a squishy cube that plays stories and songs tied to different characters (aka Tonies). It’s activated when your child places the figurine on top of the speaker. There are so many Tonies to choose from. Peppa Pig, Moana, Winnie the Pooh, the list goes on. You can also buy Creative Tonies to record your own audio. Super easy to use, and the cutesy ears double as volume controls. —Boutayna Chokrane

Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup

The best tech books unpack the rise and fall of the characters that invented the stuff that runs our lives. The New York Times and former Wall Street Journal reporter John Carreyrou writes about Elizabeth Holmes, as she miserably fails to build a blood testing machine that would allegedly eliminate the need for hypodermic needles. Her company raised hundreds of millions of dollars, but its technology was inaccurate. Rather than admit defeat, she pressed on, which is why Holmes was put on trial for fraud and sentenced to 11 years in prison. —Boutayna Chokrane

Samsung

Galaxy S25, S25+, S25 Ultra

Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S25 has been heavily discounted all Cyber Weekend, probably because its successors are right around the corner (the Galaxy S26 series is expected to be announced in January). But we still love these excellent smartphones. The S25 is the smallest, the S25+ gets a few extra perks, plus a bigger screen and better battery life, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra has a dual telephoto camera system, integrated S Pen stylus, and a beefy battery. Be sure to check out the Best Samsung Phones guide for the full scoop. —Molly Higgins

Samsung

Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7

You’re not like other girls; you have a folding phone. In all seriousness, folding phones are not as fragile as they used to be, with durability improving while remaining slim. We love the Galaxy Z Fold7 because it’s amazingly slim and versatile. You can use the front screen like normal, and when you need extra real estate, open the device up. You can view apps on a much larger scale or easily split-screen two apps. If you’re not feeling a folding phone, the updated Galaxy Z Flip7 has a more usable front screen. Read our Best Folding Phones guide to decide which is best for you at the discounted price this Cyber Weekend. —Molly Higgins

Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook Plus

Lenovo

Flex 5i Chromebook Plus

The Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook Plus is super cheap and compact, with a small touchscreen for more versatility. Especially with the Cyber Monday discount, it’s one of the most affordable Chromebook Plus models you can find, plus WIRED reviewer Luke Larsen thinks it’s in a whole different league over standard Chromebooks at this price because of its improved screen with a 360-degree hinge and touchscreen, fast performance, more storage, and crisp webcam. —Molly Higgins

Apple

AirPods Pro 2 (With USB-C)

Even though they’re an older model, we like these AirPods because of their hearing aid feature, comfort, and outstanding streaming experience. If you’re an iPhone user, you should have some AirPods, and we still think these are a good choice for most people because of their active noise cancellation, sound quality, and easy pairing within the Apple ecosystem. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that they’re nearly 25 percent off for Cyber Monday. —Molly Higgins

Photograph: Adrienne So

We on the WIRED Reviews team still think this is the best Apple Watch for most people. With its newest upgrade, it now has the latest S10 chip, a Liquid Glass display, Workout Buddy, and wrist-flick gestures. If you have an iPhone, this accessory is a no-brainer. It makes a great gift for yourself or others, and is seriously discounted at only $200 right now. —Molly Higgins

Dreaming of a Thuma Bed Frame? Don’t Miss the Black Friday Sale

Dreaming of a Thuma Bed Frame? Don’t Miss the Black Friday Sale


Thuma knows what it’s doing when it comes to bed frames, which is why we’re so excited to see Thuma’s Black Friday deals. Two different frames from Thuma are the top picks in our Best Bed Frames guide, and our reviewers have reported how not only high-quality and and sturdy the brand’s frames are, but also how easy it is to put the frame together thanks to Japanese-style joinery.

While our top pick isn’t on sale, our second-favorite is on Thuma’s site during this Black Friday weekend, and it’s a great price for the quality you’ll get. And it’s not the only thing Thuma has on sale, either, if you’re looking for more Thuma goodness around your bedroom and home.

If you’re looking for more great sleep deals, don’t miss our guide to the Best Black Friday Mattress and Bedding Deals, plus you can catch more sleep deals on our guide to the Absolute Best Black Friday Deals.

The Best Thuma Bed Frame Deal

Courtesy of Thuma

Thuma’s Signature Bed is one of our all-time favorite bed frames. It’s on the new side, launching back in February as Thuma’s first upholstered bed. It still uses Japanese wood joinery, but the frame is covered in two different fabric options, depending on what you choose. There’s a soft Italian felted wool and a performance linen; our reviewer tested the wool version for a few months with great results.

Even with the fabric covering, it still only takes minutes to assemble this bed, and there’s not a squeak to be heard since it was built. WIRED reviewer Martin Cizmar says the plush headboard feels pillow-soft, so much so that he’s tempted to try to lie directly on it. The frame can come with or without a headboard, and both variants are on sale right now.

If it’s still out of your budget, check out our guide to the Best Thuma Dupes to see if any on-sale options are a fit for you. But there’s really no better time to get a Thuma frame of your own than during this sale, especially since we’re such big fans of this model.
