Amazon Prime Day 2024 is officially over, but as we looked at the deals in all our buying guides, our experts noticed a theme. Some of our favorite savings are actually still live. In some cases, they're even better than they were when Amazon Prime Day was in full swing. So, if you missed your chance to snag a saving, don't worry. You could get the deal of the year, today.

Our experts are always busy testing the big-name brands in the homes sector. Emilia, our Sleep Editor, looks at the best bedding, mattresses, and sleep accessories. Dan, our Tech Expert, knows everything you need to know about Dyson deals and the best vacuum for pet hair. Lydia looks after all of our kitchen content, testing the best air fryers and best blenders around. And I, dear reader, am a former barista. So you can imagine what content I cover.

The four of us got together this morning and pooled what we had found post-Prime day. Lydia saw the price of the Ninja Foodi Indoor Grill drop by 43%, which is even lower than it was over the sale. Dan spotted $65 off the ever-helpful Dyson Omni-glide, and Emilia saw 30% off Martha Stewart's cotton bedsheets. That's just the tip of it all.

If you want to know which deals we think are still worth shopping post-Amazon Prime Day, you're in the perfect place. Here are the post-sale deals that still boast impressive discounts.

The deals you can still shop post-Prime Day

We've been selective about which deals we pick, since you'll only want to make an investment if it's worth it. The deals curated below have all been tested (and adored) by our team of experts. We'd buy them at full price, so to find them at a discount is a real treat.

Dyson Omni-Glide Cordless Vacuum | Was $349.99, now $284 at Amazon

Dyson Omni-Glide Cordless Vacuum | Was $349.99, now $284 at Amazon

This nifty little vacuum is perfect for super small homes or small messes. It's no bigger than a mop, so it's easy to store, quick to charge, and your arm won't ache from using it. $65 off isn't huge, but it's a good saving on a vacuum that's worth every dollar at full price.

Martha Stewart 100% Cotton Sheet Set | Was $74.89, now $39.79 at Amazon

Martha Stewart 100% Cotton Sheet Set | Was $74.89, now $39.79 at Amazon

Nothing feels better than fresh sheets. Well, actually, one thing does. Fresh sheets that have halved in price overnight. This breathable, durable set is our expert tester, Lucy's favorite. She says it's up to hot summer nights and plenty of washes. It's going out of stock fast though.

Bedsure Comforter Insert | was $41.99, now $23.99 at Amazon

Bedsure Comforter Insert | was $41.99, now $23.99 at Amazon

Made from down alternative, this vegan-friendly comforter is the bedding deal that our experts are seriously excited about. It's available in every size, but we're anticipating stocks running low, especially with a 43% discount.

K-Mini | Was $99.99, now $59.99 at Amazon

K-Mini | Was $99.99, now $59.99 at Amazon

The K-Mini was cheap at full price. At close to half price, it's a steal. Petite and lightweight, it's easy to move around and is available in pink, blue, teal, black, and red. The cord organizer keeps things tidy, so looks-wise, it's faultless.

The amount of water you put in will determine your cup size, with a range from 6 to 12 oz. If you live in a busy home, this can quickly create a queue for coffee, because this can take over two and a half minutes to brew a single cup and it won't be quiet either. I would also caution that the coffee this makes isn't tasty. In fact, the overwhelming sense from reviews is that it's all a bit 'flat'. For those who caffeinate functionally, this is fine. However, if you like specialty coffee, scroll back to the top for your other options.

KitchenAid Artisan Mini Stand Mixer | was $379.99, now $299.99 at Amazon

Right now, there's a reasonable $80 off the price, which certainly makes it one of the best KitchenAid deals that I've seen so far. So, if you want a perfectly compact version of one of the best stand mixers out there, this is one to watch.

Magic Bullet Mini Juicer | was $59.99, now $44.99 at Amazon

Magic Bullet Mini Juicer | was $59.99, now $44.99 at Amazon

At full price, we thought this was a steal. With another 25% off the price, it's incredible value. The Magic Bullet isn't perfect - your juice might be more foamy than others – but it's brilliant for beginners.

Instant Vortex Plus XL Air Fryer Oven | Was $219, now $169.99 at Amazon

Instant Vortex Plus XL Air Fryer Oven | Was $219, now $169.99 at Amazon

Shark Stratos UltraLight Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner | Was $299.99, now $199.99 at Amazon

Shark Stratos UltraLight Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner | Was $299.99, now $199.99 at Amazon

Right now, most of the best vacuum deals aren't actually on Amazon. I say that with the UltraLight as an obvious exception. $100 off this feather-light, cordless vacuum is a steal.

Ninja Foodi Indoor Grill | Was $279.99, now $159.95 at Amazon

Ninja Foodi Indoor Grill | Was $279.99, now $159.95 at Amazon

There are a ton of Ninja deals on Amazon, so if you know you like the brand, I recommend checking them all out. The reason this is so special is twofold. Firstly, 43% off the RRP is crazy. I'd hate to let that pass me by, especially before the summer. And secondly, because I got a sneak preview of this when it launched and it's everything you could ever ask for in a grill. It'll air fry, roast, bake, broil, and dehydrate like the best appliances on the market. Now that's what I call a good deal.

Nespresso Vertuo Lattissima | Was $499, now $339 at Amazon

Nespresso Vertuo Lattissima | Was $499, now $339 at Amazon

Looking for the best Nespresso deal? Here it is. With $160 off, the Lattissima is a steal for any latte lover or cappuccino sipper. It makes a smooth drink, whether you use plant-based milk or not. Our experts actually have this one in the test kitchen.

OXO Brew 8 Cup | Was $199.95, now $159.99 at Amazon

OXO Brew 8 Cup | Was $199.95, now $159.99 at Amazon

I've seen bigger discounts on other coffee makers, but if you want simple, delicious coffee, you can't do better than this. It's good value at full price, let alone with a 20% discount.

Nutribullet Pro Juicer | was $159.99, now $104.99 at Amazon

Nutribullet Pro Juicer | was $159.99, now $104.99 at Amazon

Our experts love this juicer, especially when there's $55 off the price. This is simple, effective, and comes with lots of useful accessories. At the time of writing, there are only two left in stock, so don't hang around.

Our tips for getting the best deals

Whether there's a sale on or not, you'll want to get a good deal on any product you choose to invest in. Here are our tips for how to get the best deals, all year round.

1. Do not take the first deal you see

No matter what you are shopping for, the best course of action is to make a list of what you need. Start by researching prices carefully so you can compare the original price to the sale price, as well as what it's going for at other retailers.

We say that because we know how easy it is to get caught up in the moment and impulsively shop. Planning will help monopolize your purchases and make you a savvier shopper.

2. Shop around

If you have followed our first tip, you should be up-to-date on what other stores are charging for the items you want to buy. However, be aware that some retailers will have special sales on – make sure you do some extra research to ensure you get the best price.

3. Use a price comparison app

A shopping price comparison app is a useful and powerful tool, particularly during a sales period. Enter the specific name and code of the product you want to buy, and it can serve up its price history over time. Lots of people recommend CamelCamelCamel, but there are other extensions available.

Ultimately it allows you to identify the best time to buy. Plus, you can also set up price alerts to tell you when an item's price is at an all-time low.

'There are several reasons why prices can fluctuate all year round,' explains Idealo’s Katy Phillips.

'Many retailers use artificial intelligence and algorithms to dynamically adjust prices according to consumer demand, competitor prices, and even the weather,' says Katy.

'Specific sales are undoubtedly a great time to snap up a deal. But shoppers do have to be a little bit savvy to really get the best bargains. I’d urge shoppers to remember to compare prices of products to make sure they are getting the best deal,' she concludes.

4. Join the waiting list

We know: there is nothing more frustrating than identifying a stellar deal, setting the alarm on your phone to make sure you do not miss it, and still, it sells out.

To alleviate that happening – see if there is a waiting list, and join it. Since shoppers have roughly 15 minutes to make a purchase, there is a possibility to snap that item up if time runs out.

FAQs

When does Amazon Prime Day end?

You can trust Homes & Gardens. Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing the latest products, helping you choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.

Amazon Prime Day is over now, so you'll have to wait for Labor Day for the next big sale. Don't worry though, Prime Day comes twice a year. Last year, the second sale was in October, so we expect it to fall at a similar time later this year.

What is Amazon Prime Day? 

Amazon Prime Day is Amazon's largest sale event of the year. This sale sees Amazon slash the price of hundreds of buys on-site for just a few hours only.

It may be called Prime Day, but much like Black Friday, Amazon Prime Day 2024 is often a 48-hour window of chance, offering shoppers unbelievable savings. Here, you can score items such as smart or home appliances at a fraction of the cost.

Amazon hosts this sale twice a year. We've already had their July event, so the next best time to pick up a deal on Amazon will be in October. Hold tight. Big deals are coming.

According to Statista, online retail sales in the US were nearly $13 billion during 2023's Prime Day period, so this is one major sales event that's not to be missed out on.

What is a Lightning Deal?

There are two main types of deals that apply on Amazon Prime Day.

The first are discounts that run for the duration of the event. These often apply to Amazon's own-brand products, such as its Echo Dot speakers and Kindle e-readers.

Then there are Lightning Deals. These are special offers that pop up over the course of Amazon Prime Day on specific items. They may be for a limited amount of time up to around four hours or on a limited amount of stock. The very best Lightning Deals are known to sell out in minutes.


Even though Amazon Prime Day is over, there are still some good deals on offer. We'll keep you updated with the ones that it's worth shopping, but we don't think big discounts will last for much longer. Now's the time to shop if you don't want to have to wait for Labor Day to snag a saving.
