Naturally, Amazon is one of our favorite retailers for deal shopping. Our team of shopping editors and I consistently find some of the biggest savings at the giant retailer, and when sale events such as the recent Prime Big Deal Days come round, we see some of the lowest prices on our favorite products, all year.
But there are no more Prime Days in 2025. Instead, we're looking ahead to Black Friday, where we'll undoubtedly see $100s' worth of savings on everything from the best vacuums to the best non-toxic air fryers.
And luckily, you won't need to be a Prime member to access the thousands of deals in the Amazon home sale – or to shop the ones that are live right now. Below, I've included handy links to every department sale that's currently live, along with a handpicked selection of products loved by our editors, and tips on how to secure the lowest prices all year.

27 Amazon finds our editors love
Each of our shopping writers has their niche. Lydia covers kitchen content, including blenders, juicers, and air fryers. Charlotte covers all things style, clued up on the latest and greatest interior trends and products to buy.
And I'm Dan, Homes & Gardens' resident home tech expert, specializing in vacuum cleaners, air purifiers, smart tech, and sound.
Here are 27 Amazon finds that our shopping editors look out for in the sales (luckily, they're on offer quite often):
Our kitchen appliances editor Lydia Hayman says, 'I always recommend this one to families with plenty of kitchen space and lots of mouths to feed. We actually just got two of these air fryers for our shared office, since they are so quick and easy to use in busy lunch hours. It's one of the best Ninja air fryers.'
Not only is the Oxo Brew 8-Cup our best drip coffee maker, it's probably the best coffee maker our testers have ever used. Kitchen appliances editor Lydia Hayman says, 'Whether you want a single serving or enough for eight, the OXO delivers flavorful filter coffee in a matter of minutes. It's small, sleek, and easy to use.'
Read our full OXO Brew 8-Cup review to find out why we awarded it five stars.
I make the most of sale events by saving big on a worthwhile investment, and the Sonos Arc Ultra is the best soundbar we've tested. 14 impressive speakers built into the soundbar deliver some of the most vibrant, detailed, and immersive audio I've ever heard at home, breathing new life into TV shows, movies, and music that spans all genres. It's perfect for upping your home entertainment this fall, ready for great festive nights spent in with friends and family.

The Dyson V15 Detect tops so many of our vacuum guides from the best cordless vacuums to the best vacuums for pet hair, thanks to incredible suction power that you'd expect from a huge, corded vacuum – and smart features like a green laser that reveals dust the naked eye can't see.
Read more in my full Dyson V15 Detect review.
The Fire TV Soundbar syncs your Fire TV and your sound system into one, so no more separate remotes, and you can enjoy the convenience of having your streaming and audio setup in one place.
The timeless Le Creuset casserole dish is one of the most versatile pieces of cookware you can buy, and longlasting enough to last generations.
This Ninja blender is great for smoothies, crushed ice, and frozen drinks, with 'Auto-iQ' that does the guesswork for you. We've compared Nutribullet vs Ninja blenders, and found that Ninja blenders offer power and versatility.
The Omni S1 Pro is so expensive because, on test, it surpassed the test results from all previous robots, vacuuming and mopping all floor types so well that it reduced our tester's manual vacuuming time by 90%.
Read more in our five-star eufy Omni S1 Pro review.
If you're looking for instant, tasty coffee, Nespresso's popular Vertuo Plus coffee maker is a great choice. I use a Nespresso machine at home, and I love the quality of the coffee pods, and there are plenty of flavors to choose from.
Now that fall's here and we're spending more time indoors, getting yourself an air purifier is the surest way to get rid of musty odors, cooking fumes, and allergens in the air. This is our all-time favorite – it's so powerful it can purify multiple rooms at once.

Summer's officially (sadly) gone, so grabbing yourself a space heater on offer is a great way to seize the sales and save on energy bills by zone heating. Dreo is one of our favorite cooling and heating brands, and this tiny space heater is perfect to take around different rooms of the house.
Earning five stars on test, the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus has everything you could need from a video doorbell, including a detailed picture in the daylight and at night, crisp audio without delays, echoes, or background noise, and real-time notifications.
Read more in our full Ring Battery Doorbell Plus review.
Yankee Candles fill your home with your favorite scent, lasting for up to 150 hours. There are 11 different aromas on offer right now, from pumpkin maple creme caramel to sugared cinnamon apple, perfect in time for fall.
If you're looking for instant, tasty coffee, Keurig's popular K-Elite Single Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker is a great choice. Voted our best keurig coffee maker overall, the model caters to multiple brew sizes and we love the Iced Setting for delicious iced coffees at home.
I use smart bulbs at home to refine the ambience in the evening, and it's amazing how easily they do so. This pack of four smart bulbs from Govee can be controlled using your Alexa or Google smart home setup.
This is the lowest price we've ever seen on one of the best robot vacuums we've tested at Homes & Gardens. The eufy X10 Pro Omni is our favorite when you balance price and cleaning power. It vacuums, mops, empties itself, and builds a detailed map of your home – and on test, it performed similarly to robots that cost twice as much.

In our Blink Video Doorbell review, we loved how many essential features it does well considering its low price, which is even lower now with this Amazon discount.
Our head of Solved and an expert in cleaning and organizing, Punteha van Terheyden, loves these drawer organizers that cost just 72 cents each. If you're fed up with messy drawers, these non-slip and easy-to-clean organizers are perfect to conquer the dreaded ‘junk’ drawer, sort out your kitchen, bathroom or bedroom essentials.
As soon as I started using this in my own home, I knew I wouldn't be able to go back to life without it. Combining vacuuming, mopping and stain removal into one intuitive gadget is incredible enough as it is, but the fact that it achieves this in no time at all is even more useful. It's the best vacuum-mop that we've tested.

Cute, woven storage baskets like this are some of the most aesthetic organizing tricks, perfect for keeping clothes tidy in the bedroom.
I've used this tower fan for over a year in my own home and I love how quietly it cools. It takes up barely any floor space and even has an 'Advanced Sleep' mode that adjusts to the temperature of the room.

'I always buy my coffee table books on Amazon as it tends to be the cheapest place to pick up design books for less. I can't wait to leaf through her images to get some inspo for my remodel,' writes Charlotte Olby, style and trends editor.
A sunrise alarm clock helps you wake up naturally, simulating the rising and setting of the sun to match up to our circadian rhythms.
It's not uncommon for air purifiers to take up too much space in a room, but Coway's best-seller the Airmega Mighty is compact in comparison, while also providing speedy and effective air cleansing.

Our resident cleaning and storage expert Chiana Dickson about this beautiful clothes airer that's perfect for small spaces. If you're tight on space and still want your home to look nice while the laundry's drying, this compact but effective drying rack is the answer.
A full-length mirror is an essential for a bedroom, and can instantly make a hallway or living room more stylish or appear larger and brighter. This Sweetcrispy mirror, made from aluminum and nano glass, is perfect for elevating your space.
If you're looking to jump on the kitchen countertop lighting trend, I highly recommend a portable, wireless lamp like this one. It's petite, chic, has three brightness settings, and should last between 10-16 hours on a full charge.
How can you tell if you've found a good deal at Amazon?
Use a price tracking tool
Shop like an eCommerce editor and use a price tracking tool, which gives you access to the price history of a particular product. That way, you can work out from context whether you're actually getting a good deal, or if you'd be better off waiting for prices to (probably) fall further in the next holiday sales.
For Amazon, I recommend CamelCamelCamel. Here's how it works: Paste the Amazon link into CamelCamelCamel's search bar, and you'll see the product's lowest recorded price, as well as its average price, and when that price tends to fluctuate.
These figures form 'humps' on a line graph, like the back of a camel, hence the name. Sometimes, Amazon stores up the prices before a sale event, and this is a great way to catch when they're emphasizing how big the discount is.
Use comparison sites
This could be as easy as clicking the Google 'Shopping' tab at the top of your search engine results page. You might find that the best deal isn't on Amazon at all, but Target, Wayfair, QVC or direct from the brand you're shopping.
Only buy the items you actually need
Throughout the year, I keep a wish list of the items and appliances I want to buy. Sometimes, I add the item to my cart before the sale begins, so that I can buy it right away when the deal drops.
If you're looking for something specific, whether it's the best non-toxic coffee makers, the best robot vacuums, or the best mattress toppers, read real, hands-on reviews to hone in on the product that's right for you and your home.
When the sales start, I'm strict with myself – I only let myself shop from my wish list. That way, I get the dopamine hit from bargain-hunting, but I don't fall victim to overspending.
When is the best time to get an Amazon deal?
You can find deals at Amazon all-year-round, but during sale events like Labor Day, Prime Day and Black Friday, you'll find the best selection and the deepest savings.
Amazon is one of the best retailers for low prices and frequent discounts, and whether it's furniture, appliances or essentials you're shopping for, you're pretty much always guaranteed to find some savings.
Generally, waiting for the major sales like Amazon Prime Days, Blac Friday, and the ones I've listed below, is the best way to secure the biggest discounts of the year.
Amazon Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals
We're already gearing up Black Friday, falling on November 28 this year, and keeping a close eye on the deals to see whether you can get ahead of the big sales rush.
Amazon Black Friday deals start dropping around a week in advance of the big day. If you want to beat the crowds and bag a bargain on a trending appliance, I suggest you shop early.
In my experience, Black Friday is the best time to shop for homeware, whether it's the best pizza ovens or the best Dyson vacuums. It's when all the major home retailers compete to offer the lowest prices. I've seen sheet sets on sale for less than half price, hundreds of dollars off mattresses and sofas, and deep discounts on small and large appliances.
Amazon Lightning deals
Amazon Lightning Deals are flash sales that pop up around major sales periods. You're less likely to find small or large appliances in the Lightning Deals section – think more along the lines of skincare, make-up, and other impulse buys.
You can make Lightning Deals work for you by stocking up on a few inexpensive items to get you over the threshold for free delivery. So, if I were buying a $35 sheet set, but I needed to spend $40 to qualify for free delivery, I could shop the Lightning Deals section to pick up a few cheap favors. Anything from your essential cleaning toolkit would be perfect.
Amazon Spring Sale deals
Amazon has run a few spring sales in their time. Although the name varies (it might be the Big Spring Sale or Spring Deal Days), you can expect Amazon to be running a seasonal sale event every year. It usually lands at the end of March, and it's a great opportunity to prepare your home for spring.
When is the next Amazon Prime day?
Amazon typically runs two Prime Days every year, one in July and one in October. This year, we had the first-ever four-day Prime Day from July 8-11, and the second event, called Prime Big Deal Days, ran from October 7-8.
In my experience as a sales hunter, you will see the greatest breadth and depth of Amazon deals on Amazon Prime Day. Everything from home appliances to decor to mattress toppers is discounted heavily during this time.
It's similar to Black Friday (and occasionally, more fruitful), but where Amazon's Black Friday deals are open to everyone, you can only make the most of Amazon Prime Day deals if you're a Prime member. You can always start a 30-day free trial when Prime Day comes around and cancel it before the first payment comes out, to make the most of the deals.
Also, many other major retailers, including Walmart and Best Buy, tend to run their counter-sales around Amazon Prime Day, and you don't have to be a member to shop at those.
FAQs
Should I buy on Amazon Prime Big Deal Days or wait until Black Friday?
You may be wondering, will Amazon Prime Day or Black Friday have the best deals?
Prime Day offers seriously hefty discounts, but it's only one retailer and you need to be a Prime member, so in that sense it can be beneficial to wait for Black Friday.
However, other retailers such as Walmart and Target tend to run their own counter sales, so in a way, it's like another Black Friday-style event a month early.
Sure, there's no ignoring how expansive the offers can be on Black Friday, but as somebody who's covered every major sale event since 2021, I can confirm that the deals are often similar across both events.
So, if you're looking for something specific and you see it discounted during Prime Day, I'd say snap it up. But if you miss your chance (or if you're not a Prime member), you won't be short for choice when Black Friday comes around.
What is Amazon Renewed?
Amazon Renewed is a hub to find appliances and gadgets that have been refurbished and tested by qualified suppliers, offering goods for a fraction of their original price.
It's a great way to minimize e-waste which is a growing concern worldwide. You can also find refurbished goods at Walmart Restored and Best Buy Outlet.
How can I prepare for an Amazon Prime Day sale?
Our tips on finding a good deal at Amazon include using comparison sites and doing your research beforehand, and you can still do this now that the event is up and running. The team at Amazon has its own dedicated suggestions on how to head into the sales.
Over at Amazon's Prime Day announcement page, you'll find some tips on how to prepare and make the most out of the massive sale event.
We also love keeping an eye on Amazon's Best Sellers list as it reflects popular items thousands of people are snapping up.
- Available on the Amazon Shopping app in the US, Rufus is a new AI assistant designed to help save time and make more informed decisions when shopping. It uses information from product listings, reviews and community Q&As to recommend products, compare options, and help with current and past orders.
- Alexa+ is Amazon's latest update to Alexa: a new personal assistant that uses generative AI to answer a whole host of queries from booking restaurant reservations to controlling your smart home. For Prime Day, it can be used to track discounts across the products or topics that you're interested in. If you have an Alexa device like the Amazon Echo Pop or Amazon Echo Dot, use it to your advantage when the sales arrive. Alexa+ is free if you're a Prime member.
- Part of the new Alexa+ suite of AI features is Interests, which is software that can personalize lists of products based on your favorite interests using prompts. You can write 'Brewing tools and gadgets for coffee lovers' to browse highly-rated goods, or go as specific as 'I want something abstract or modern made of black metal, not canvas.'
Do you have to be a Prime member to access Amazon deals?
Yes, to access the deepest discounts and the widest range of deals with fast delivery, you should sign up for Amazon Prime. With that said, Amazon drops hundreds of deals, many of which are open to the public, but for Prime Day, anything labeled as a 'Prime Day deal' is exclusive to Prime members.
Here's a workaround if you want this access but don't want to pay for Prime all year: Sign up for the one-month free Amazon Prime trial right before you want to shop.
For that month, you'll get free one-day delivery, plus access to Amazon's Prime Video streaming service. As long as you cancel before the 30-day cut-off, you won't be charged. If you forget to cancel your payment, you'll be charged $14.99 a month.
Is Amazon Prime Day worth it?
It might seem like over-hype, but Amazon Prime Day is a better time to find a deal than almost all other sales events. Other than Black Friday, Prime Day is where you'll see the most choice of what's on offer and some of the lowest prices all year.
We've seen products from the best soundbars to the best grills discounted to around half their retail price, which is not a discount to be sniffed at.
What time does Prime Day start and end?
Prime Days started at 00:01 on the opening date, then finishes at 23:59 on the end date Pacific time. So, if you're on the West coast, it will start at midnight, but if you're on the East coast, it'll begin at 3 am. In the UK, Prime Day runs from midnight to midnight, GMT.
Is everything on sale on Prime Day?
Sadly not. It may seem like everything is discounted because of how many products genuinely are, but there are still many goods that aren't discounted during Prime Day.
That's why, as eCommerce editors, we spend hours searching through to handpick the best Prime Day home deals directly to you. We do this for every major sale event so be sure to bookmark this page for specially-curated deals all year.
Can I get alerts for Amazon deals?
Yes. Download the Amazon Shopping app at Google or Apple and subscribe to deal notifications on items on your wish list.
Amazon is an enormous website, with hundreds of product launches and new deals every day.
