Welcome to our live coverage of Amazon Prime Day 2023 - Part 2

The 2023 Amazon Prime Day sale is now well underway, but there's no sign of the deals running out.

Indeed, there are still almost too many to sift through in search of the really good discounts - so that's where we'll help. We're breaking down all the top offers this morning, which include Apple products, kitchen appliances, vacuums, TVs, smartwatches, and Amazon's own devices. Our team is sorting through all the offers to give live updates throughout the day so you don't miss a bargain.

Something to keep in mind is that the very hottest deals will go fast, so we recommend acting quickly if you see a price you like.

Lightning deal: 43-inch Fire TV for just £119 - yes please

Best get in quick with this one: a limited-time lightning deal has dropped this 43-inch Amazon Fire TV to £119. That's an incredible low price for a TV of this size that we almost never see.

Fire TVs are already solid budget displays for general everyday viewing, so with this £310 price cut it's now an even more ridiculous bargain. Sure, it won't set your world alight for watching the biggest blockbusters or gaming on current-gen consoles, but for a bit of streaming in the kitchen, bedroom or a smaller space it'll do the job brilliantly for relatively little cost.

Amazon Fire TV 4-Series 43-inch 4K Smart TV: was £429.99 now £119.99 at Amazon
A shockingly-low price for a mid-sized display from Amazon's budget Fire TV range. Sets this cheap are usually only around 32 inches in size so you're getting a lot for the money here. It's reasonable quality, too, with 4K resolution and HDR 10 support that offers a sharp, clear and vibrant image for TV shows, movies and sports. All major streaming apps are built-in, too, plus there's voice control support through Alexa. An all-around bargain.

Avid reader? These are the Kindle deals we'd pick

Phew, after that unscheduled TV excitement, let's see what else we've got for you. Amazon's own Kindle ereaders are a mainstay of Prime Day sales, but they also get discounted at other times of the year. So - are they really a good buy today?

Well, it depends on the model. We'd skip over the Oasis unless you desperately want the most premium Kindle, as that's been £10 cheaper before. And though the new Kindle Scribe is at a record-low price, it's only been out since November - so we'd predict that it'll be cheaper still come Black Friday.

Instead, you'll want to look at the standard Kindle and the Paperwhite. The base Kindle is currently just £59.99 at Amazon - that's £5 cheaper than it's ever been before. Meanwhile, the Paperwhite is £99.99 right now. That's £15 cheaper than its previous record low, and given that it's also our choice as the best Kindle, that's the deal we'd snap up.

The best deal on Amazon's Fire Stick streamer

As with the Kindles, Amazon has cut the price on all of its Fire TV Stick streaming devices. But not all of them are genuinely good deals.

The First Stick Lite, Fire Stick and Fire Stick 4K have all been cheaper in the past, so while the savings on offer today - ranging from 37% to 44% off - are not to be sneered at, you won't be getting a really good deal.

However, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max is currently £37.99, and that's just £1 more than its lowest-ever price. Plus, this is Amazon's best streaming device, and comes highly recommended as a simple and affordable way to stream video in ultra-high definition 4K resolution on any TV with an HDMI port - including many older sets.

In our Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max review, we felt this version pushed the streaming stick to its limits with excellent performance for the price and did everything you need for watching shows and films in 4K. The accessibility features were handy, too, including voice controls to make navigation easier and connect with other smart home devices.

Fire TV Stick 4K Max: was £64.99 now £37.99 at Amazon
This is just £1 away from the lowest price we've for one of the best streaming devices. It's was already an Amazon best-seller in the run-up to the sale so definitely one to snap up this Prime Day, then. The Fire TV Stick 4K Max streams the same content in the same quality as the standard 4K version, but the better spec means it's faster when you're navigating apps and can make use of WiFi 6 technology to give you a more stable streaming experience.

2023-07-12T07:25:59.155Z

Do you need Amazon Prime to get these deals?

Yep. As the name suggests, Amazon Prime Day is an event that's exclusively available for Amazon Prime members. So, you need to sign up for a membership in order to shop all of the best Prime Day laptop deals at Amazon.

The good news is that you can grab a 30-day Amazon Prime free trial just before the sale starts, which will give you full access over Prime Day completely free of charge. This is only available if you haven't been a member before, though. Just remember to cancel it before the month is up to avoid being charged.

For everyone else, you need to activate or renew your subscription in order to take part. It currently costs £8.99 per month, or you can pick up a one-year membership for £95.

Prime Day is the Prime Time to pick up a new Chromebook

Prime Day is a great way to get a Chromebook for even cheaper than its list price, which is usually already affordable to start.

Chromebooks have become a mainstay in education and IT fleets because of their ease of use, portability, and security, so being able to get Prime Day Chromebook deals that drive the price down even further is icing on the cake as far as we're concerned.

One of the best Chromebook deals going right now is the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet Chromebook on sale for £179.99. This is the Chromebook that made our Components Editor, John Loeffler, a believer.

Back in 2020, John declared: "The Lenovo IdeaPad Duet Chromebook strikes the perfect balance between tablet portability and Chromebook utility, all while keeping the price ridiculously low - and somehow packing in a Lich King of a battery that simply refuses to die," (you can check out his Lenovo IdeaPad Duet Chromebook review to read more).

There is also the Asus Chromebook 14 CX1400 on sale for £139.99, which is one of the cheapest Chromebook deals we've yet. Previous model years weren't that great owing to their downright ancient Celeron N3350 processors, but the Asus Chromebook 14 CX1400 series got a much-needed upgrade to more modern Celeron N4020 chips that double its processing power, finally making it a real contender at this price.

2023-07-12T08:04:35.850Z

The best headphones at their lowest price

It might seem odd to recommend a pair of headphones that first appeared three years ago and have now been superseded by a newer model. But the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones remain our pick as the best headphones you can buy, beating even the XM5s. Amazon's Prime Day deal cuts their price below £200 for the first time; treat yourself and you won't regret it, genuinely.

2023-07-12T08:19:41.797Z

3 Prime Day deals under £20 that we've actually bought

Who doesn't want to snag a cheap gadget during Prime Day? Amazon's early set of deals includes discounts on its devices, and the prices are the best we've ever seen. That means you can score incredibly useful, high-tech smart home gadgets for cheap.

In fact, Deals Editor Mackenzie Frazer found a handful of fantastic devices for so little money that she's actually already bought them. Here's what's already gone into her basket.

Blink Mini security camera: was £29.99 now £17.99 at Amazon
I've had my eye on the best-selling Blink Mini for a while now, and now that it's discounted to just £17.99 - I'm adding it to my cart. The Blink Mini is a compact smart indoor security camera that works with Amazon Alexa and alerts your smartphone whenever motion is detected. It's small enough that you can pack it in your suitcase for travel, which is what I plan on doing. Today's Prime Day deal is the lowest price we've ever seen and beats last year's Black Friday offer by £1.

All-new Echo Pop: was £44.99 now £17.99 at Amazon
I already own the 3rd-generation Echo Dot, and I can't imagine life without it. The smart speaker plays music, answers any question I throw at it, and tells me the weather forecast - all I have to do is ask Alexa. The all-new Echo Pop is Amazon's latest smart speaker and shares all the same features I love about the Echo Dot but in a compact design. The best part? It's now on sale for just £17.99 - a saving of 60% and a price too good to pass up.

Can an AI chatbot help you find good Prime Day deals?

Until today, we'd have said no. Now, we'd say… maybe.

Together with our sister site Tom's Guide and nearly 50 other brands at our parent company Future, we've built an AI-powered Prime Day chatbot that will find you the best deals.

It works by pulling in recommendations from across Future sites. So if you ask it to search for "MacBook deals", it will surface relevant deals content from TechRadar, Tom's Guide and other sites such as T3, What Hi-Fi, Golf Monthly, PC Gamer, Marie Claire and Live Science, among others.

It's still a work in progress (we'd advise you stick to this live blog and our deals hubs for the very best recommendations), but have a go at using the bot and let us know how you get on.

2023-07-12T08:58:22.578Z

Is this the best MacBook Air deal ever?

We definitely want to recommend this Amazon Prime Day deal on the Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (M1, 2020) for just £739. This is an incredible price for a brilliant MacBook, and could well be the best laptop Prime Day deal we'll see this year.

Yes, it's now a few years old, but the M1 MacBook Air remains a fantastic laptop that's thin, light and powerful, with great battery life and a fanless design. At this new low price, it absolutely destroys Windows 11 laptops that cost the same.

Grab a Bluetooth speaker for summer fun

If you've been enjoying the UK's warm summer so far from the garden, park, beach, or unmentioned outdoor spot of your preference, a Bluetooth speaker is a great option to add some ambiance to proceedings. We've picked the two hottest deals one portable speakers below – one super-cheap, one with a lot more power and audio quality.

And, if the weather near you turned nasty in the same way it did for us over Prime Day, you'll be delighted to hear that the JBL below is waterproof…

2023-07-12T09:26:46.578Z

Get the Apple iPad 10.2 for its lowest-ever price

Apple's entry-level iPad for the cheapest price we've ever seen it. What's more to say?

The everyday tablet is a steal at this price if you need an all-around streaming machine that can handle productivity work and also a bit of light gaming. It's getting now old, sure, but it's still more than capable of many of your portable computing needs.

Apple iPad 10.2 (2021): was £369 now £299 at Amazon
This is a return to the lowest price ever for the last-generation iPad for Prime Day. It may be slightly older tech, but the 10.2-inch Retina display and A13 Bionic chip ensure excellent picture quality and superior performance to this day. The entry-level tablet can do it all without issue according to our Apple iPad 10.2 review: whether that's browsing the net, streaming media, light work, or playing games. Ultimately, when it comes to powerful and affordable tablets that offer excellent value for money, it doesn't get better than this.

3 big-screen TVs for all budgets

65-inch TVs are getting increasingly popular in this golden age of home cinema, where you can watch movies at home in stunning 4K HDR just weeks after they hit the cinemas.

If you're looking to join the club, out TV editors have picked out the following deals as being the hottest value, ranging from a very affordable (yet current-gen) Samsung TV, over to a mid-range OLED that's perfect for movies, up to a more advanced OLED that's a dream for films or gaming (or anything else you could want to throw at it).

LG A2 65-inch OLED 4K TV: was £1,273 now £1,088 at Amazon
LG’s A2, the company’s entry-level OLED TV line for 2022, is seeing deep discounts this Prime Day, with a 65-inch model now selling for its cheapest-ever price. When we reviewed the LG A2 in 2022, we found that it was a great option for movie fans, delivering the deep blacks characteristic of OLED technology, though not as good an option for gamers. At that time we found it to be great value, and with this price cut, it’s now even better!

LG C2 OLED 4K TV: was £2,699 now £1,398 at Amazon
This will get you a pretty incredible home cinema and gaming experience for the price. Because of price cuts like this, we still rate the LG C2 as the best TV in the world for most people – you can read why in our full LG C2 review, but basically image quality is awesome, and it's crammed with every high-end feature you could need. This is the cheapest this 65-inch model has ever been. It's also discounted in its 48-inch and 55-inch versions, but this size gets the best price cut.

2023-07-12T09:40:17.902Z

Lowest price Apple Watch 8 - now £349

One of today's best Prime Day deals, and probably one of the most popular, is the Apple Watch 8 on sale for just £349. That's a £60 discount and the lowest price we've ever seen for Apple's latest and greatest smartwatch.

The Apple Watch 8 is one of the best smartwatches you can buy, thanks to new health and safety features such as crash and fall detection and a temperature sensor that provides helpful insights into your health.

You'll have to act fast though, Prime Day Apple Watch deals are some of the most popular offers, and we don't expect this deal will stick around for long.

How big a TV should you buy on Prime Day?

The thing about a day of great Prime Day TV deals is that, while you can use the discounts to save money, you could also use them to upgrade to a bigger size for the same price as the smaller one would've been before. But is that always a good idea? Here are some tips from our AV team:

1) Obviously, you need to consider the amount of physical space you have. Measure it if you need to, and remember that you shouldn't go by the 'screen size' of the TV – you need to get the set's actual dimensions, because the screen size is diagonal, not side-to-side.

2) Remember to check the stand design if you change sizes! Some TVs move from a central stand to a pair of feet as they go large, for better balance and support. Depending on the width of your TV unit, this might turn out to be a problem…

3) How far away from the screen will you sit? The usual guidance is to sit 1.5-2x the size of the screen away, so if you have a 50-inch TV, you'd sit 75-100 inches away. Now, we think you can break these rules a bit if you're going for a big home cinema experience – the whole point is to fill your vision, right? – but that will depend on your eyesight and comfort levels.

4) Would you be better off putting that money into better image quality? Ask whether going from a 65-inch TV to a 75-inch TV is really the best outcome, or whether you'd actually enjoy watching more if you spent the extra on a higher-quality image at the same size instead, upgrading to mini-LED QLED or OLED, perhaps.

Get a double-drawer air fryer for a deep discount

We usually recommend that, if you have the space and can afford it, you should get a double-drawer air fryer. It gives you so much more flexibility to do things at different temperatures simultaneously, or to have one clean drawer ready to go even if one's been used. So check out this deal below if you're thinking of going air fryer!

2 great camera kits for different budgets?

Want to go further with photography than your phone can handle? These two offers are perfect places to start, giving you high-quality cameras with a great lens included. The Canon is a versatile starting point, with a flexible lens; the Panasonic is higher-tier, and comes with a prime lens that can take very fast shots, or shoot with beautiful bokeh.

Canon EOS M50 Mark II (with 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3): was £719.99 now £589.00 at Amazon
The Canon EOS M50 Mark II is a superly cost-effective way to get into both stills and video if you're a keen beginner looking to take it to the next level. This particular kit comes with a versatile zoom lens that's going to get you started on the right foot if you're looking for better-than-mobile snaps. At 24MP, it's got plenty of resolution for most situations and the autofocus works great for both stills and video.

Panasonic Lumix S5 II (with 50mm F1.8): was £2,199 now £1,799 at Amazon
One of our favorite cameras of 2023, TechRadar's Panasonic Lumix S5 II review remarked that there's likely no better hybrid platform for both stills and video than this outstanding camera. At full price, it was already pretty great value thanks to its fantastic image stablisation, sharp 6K video, and excellent phase-detect autofocus, but today's Prime Day deal brings it right down to a new record-low price. This particular kit comes with a speedy Panasonic 50mm F1.8 L-Mount prime, which is a superbly versatile lens for both video and stills.

What are we buying on Prime Day?

What are the TechRadar team getting on Prime Day? A quick poll of the people sitting directly around me reveals answers ranging from "that £119 Fire TV deal" to "some coffee" to "I'm about to buy a Roomba to help with my cat hair problem" to "please ask me later, I'm very busy".

2023-07-12T10:11:31.896Z

An awesome soundbar deal that we love

If you want an inoffensive soundbar that can sit neatly under even the most low-slung of TVs, yet somehow fills the whole space with Dolby Atmos positional sound that really has height and width, this deal is perfect. It really is a ridiculously good soundbar for the price – we tested directly against the Sonos Arc, which is twice the price.

Samsung HW-S800B: was £569 now £331 at Amazon
This ultra-slim soundbar somehow offers incredible Dolby Atmos positional sound – it's up there with the high-end stuff – yet it's about a quarter of the volume of the likes of the Sonos Arc. Its minimalism will make it a much more popular in a lot of living rooms, and it deserves to be popular, as our full Samsung HW-S800B review says. And this is the cheapest it's ever been – as long as your TV is 55 inches or up, and you don't need an HDMI passthrough port, this is a fantastic deal.

2023-07-12T10:15:32.815Z

Anyone for coffee?

2023-07-12T10:20:48.477Z

You can spend a little on Prime Day – or just think of at it as saving a lot

Prime Day isn't just for spending the price of a London drink on a Bluetooth speaker from a brand you've never heard of. Oh no, not when the aspirational brands decide to join, on Day 2.

Astell & Kern is not a name that usually goes hand in hand with the word "sale". But by bundling its high-end SE180 hi-res player with a premium leather case one of its special flavours of DAC module (this player allows you to switch them out) the South Korean premium audio brand has launched a huge discount on the A&futura SE180 player and accessories, normally £1,867, now just £999 on Amazon.

Not familiar with this maker of some of the best hi-res audio players we've ever tested? That's OK, just see the excellent A&norma SR25 MKII by way of introduction, or the phenomenal flagship A&ultima SP3000.

Did you expect to see a saving on a piece of cutting-edge hi-fi kit that saves you £868 this Prime Day? Probably not. And if you think you won't need the protective leather case, I promise you you'll appreciate it – see the lovely little one on the Fiio BTR7 DAC for further reference. Yes, it's expensive. But not as expensive as it was – and the audiophile in your life will love it.

2023-07-12T10:26:39.177Z

Looking at Fitbits? An older device may be the smart deal

Okay, considering that there are plenty of Prime Day Fitbit deals on newer models, why are we about to recommend the older Fitbit Inspire 2 as a good Prime Day deal? It's about the service, not the hardware.

New Fitbits today give you six months of Fitbit Premium for free – the service is normally priced at £7.99 per month. But the Inspire 2 is old enough that it comes with a different offer – a whole 12 months of Premium for free! Those extra six months are worth [opens calculator app] about £48 extra, so if you want the better stress, sleep and fitness tools that come with Fitbit Premium, this could be the ideal purchase.

2023-07-12T10:36:26.057Z

Our AV Managing Editor's favourite speaker has a Prime Day deal

Matt Bolton, TechRadar's Managing Editor for Entertainment, says that the B&O Beosound A1 2nd Gen is "essential" to him, ever since he first tried it a few years ago – and is his pick of the Prime Day Bluetooth speaker deals, because it's basically its cheapest ever price.

Matt says: "I love this portable speaker over the rest because it has such a better balance of sound than most, and is still packed with detail. Most Bluetooth speakers either lack bass weight or treble definition, but the A1 can do it all, while still being tough and waterproof – the latter of which has been essential if I'm trying to enjoy it outdoors in the last few days. It's pricey, but you can hear the difference compared to something like the Sonos Roam or JBL Flip 6."

2023-07-12T10:43:42.386Z

Less work, more play

What if your friendly biscuit-shaped robot friend could take over not one, but two jobs in your home? This Roomba vacuums and mops hard floors (or just vacuums on carpeted spaces, naturally), so you don't have to think about staying on top of things. You're not only saving £100 here, you're saving time.

2023-07-12T10:51:10.511Z

The TV bargain for movie lovers

Looking for the rich contrast of OLED, but without the premium price? This 48-inch set delivers the pixel-perfect brightness control that OLED is known for, and makes it such a feast with HDR pictures, but is much cheaper than most because it cuts out next-gen gaming features. It's not super-bright, so is best watch in controlled lighting conditions – but if that's what you'll mostly do, this is fantastic for moody movie nights.

LG A2 48-inch OLED 4K TV: was £1,299.99 now £649 at Amazon
LG’s A2, the company’s entry-level OLED TV line for 2022, is seeing deep discounts this Prime Day, with a 48-inch model now selling for £649, or 50% off its original list price. When we reviewed the LG A2 in 2022, we found that it was a great option for movie fans, delivering the deep blacks characteristic of OLED technology, though not as good an option for gamers. At that time we found it to be a great value, and with this price cut, it’s now an even better one!

2023-07-12T10:59:01.134Z

Laptops that are worth buying

Laptops don't seem to be the hottest devices this Prime Day – probably due to a lot of people upgrading their laptops and PCs over the pandemic. However, there are some brilliant laptop deals running over Prime Day. Here are the best we've spotted so far:

2023-07-12T11:05:19.434Z

Don't forget about the Echo Dot!

The ol' Prime Day favourite has a big discount, as you'd expect for Prime Day. If you want to expand your Alexa empire, better-than-half-price is the way to do it.

Marshall Major IV held in a woman's hands on grey background — (Image credit: Marshall)

Nab joystick-style rock-n-roll wireless Marshall headphones for 38% off

Gotta love Marshall kit. I mean, just look at that aesthetic, like little amps strapped to your ears. When straying away from its iconic guitar amps, the company's wireless listening apparatus doesn't always beat the class-leaders for sonic prowess, granted, but this deal is still worthy of your attention.

Why? Because they're now just £80.99 at Amazon, a huge 38% discount on their £129.99 RRP (which is just £2 shy of the cheapest we've ever seen them).

As we said upon their release back in 2020, the Marshall Major IV (not, not Eminem's real name. Close though) boast a whopping 80-hour battery life and also a quick-charge feature, which gives you 15 hours of listening from a 15-minute charge – and if you are caught out with no battery left, you can hook them up to your smartphone via the included 3.5mm audio cable.

Marshall Major IV: was £129.99 now £80.99 at Amazon
Not a model we've tested, but they launched in October 2020 boasting an incredible (incredible!) 80-hour wireless battery life and we absolutely love the styling. And in case you're worried (given the retro aesthetic), no, they do charge via USB-C, and you also get a 3.5mm cable in the box. No ANC, but you do get Marshall's iconic gold-tone multi-directional knob for all on-ear playback and volume controls. Road trip coming up in the new year? This is practically the lowest we've seen them and, we think, a very tempting proposition.

They also come with a multi-directional control knob that lets you pause, play, and skip your music, adjust the volume of your playback, and power the headphones on and off. It's something I loved on Fairphone's FairBuds XL, but for quite a bit less.

Yes, they're a little older and your wireless connectivity comes courtesy of Bluetooth 5.0, which should provide a stable connection with your device but take note, it won't currently open the door to LE Audio and Auracast.

Marshall says that the Major IV deliver "the signature Marshall sound that you’ve come to expect", with 40mm dynamic drivers that provide "roaring bass, smooth mids, and brilliant treble". I say, buy them for the looks if you love them…

2023-07-12T11:18:12.024Z

Ring in the changes

This is the cheapest wireless Ring doorbell you can get in the Prime Day Ring Doorbell deals, and it'll work great for most people – I've got one of these. The video quality is easily good enough to see what's going on, and the battery is easy to pull out for charging. You can get the wired-only doorbell for cheaper, but I recommend the freedom that having a battery gives you – and you can actually wire it into existing doorbell wiring instead, if you prefer.

An elegant TV, for a more civilised age

We're big fans of these deals

We're not blowing hot air here, these deals will put you in a spin. Beat the summer heat with a new fan – here's a nice cheap options, and a fancier one with smart control, so you can activate it remotely, schedule it, or use voice assistants.

Prime Day is great for those of us with small ears

Becky Scarrott, Senior Audio Writer says:

"It's a question I get asked a lot: which earbuds will work for me? I have small ears (or ear canals) and the blinkin' things fall out no matter which tips I faff around with.

I too am in that same boat, and it seems two manufacturers in particular are not only realising we, the smaller-eared community, exist, but are also discounting some of their most bijou designs for Prime Day.

I've listed below the best Amazon Prime deals on smaller earbuds. In each case, you'll find a review attached and an explanation of how good the deal is."

Sony LinkBuds S: was £180 now £129.99 at Amazon
Exceptionally small, light, comfortable earpieces with a great control app plus a slew of well-implemented on-ear control options. They're not the most dynamic or zealous listen we've ever heard, but for this money the sound is still up there with the best in show. Although we briefly (very briefly) saw them dip to one penny below £100 in October last year, at this price they're a solid bet from a trusted name in audio – particularly if you have smaller ears.

Gun to my head? The Sony WF-C700N. For the money, you simply can't do better – and they only launched three months and 11 days ago!

Of course, if you want to go wired, the 1More Triple Drivers are also unbeatable for the price – but in the truly wireless realm Sony still reigns supreme.

2023-07-12T11:54:42.099Z

Take it to the Max

Apparently, one of the most popular Prime Day deals has been on the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. It's not hard to see why – if you have a slightly older 4K TV, you might find that its smart TV software isn't keeping up as well as it used to, and a streaming stick is an easy way to upgrade – and a cheap way, when it's half price.

There are many Fire TV Stick options, but the Max is the most powerful and slick to use, with the fastest Wi-Fi for reliable streaming in high quality – there's support for every HDR format, plus Dolby Atmos.

Brush up on these deals

We're not just about phones and TVs and things here on TechRadar – we care about health too. Especially if a gadget can help with it. We've been collecting the best Prime Day electric toothbrush deals, but there are two we rate:

Become a bari-star

Start a proper coffee revolution at home – here are four fancy coffee machines that promise to have you making elite-level java every morning before you leave the house. I was going to say "that make it easy to make elite-level coffee", but looking at some of them, I'm not sure I can promise that. I bet they make some gooooood stuff, though.

De'Longhi Dedica Style Traditional Pump Espresso Machine: was £229.99 now £149.99 at Amazon
This delightful little coffee machine earned 4 stars in our review, and for good reason! Slim and trim, the De'Longhi Dedica espresso machine is compact enough to slot snuggly into any kitchen. 15 bar pressure gives you a rich aroma and nut-coloured cream on top. Froth or steamed milk creates frothy cappuccinos, macchiatos or cafe lattes, making this the perfect machine for a coffee lover that needs a flavourful first cup but doesn't want to dedicate too much space.

So, how do we choose all the best Prime Day deals to share?

It all comes down to the specific product and price.

We track all the lowest prices for the most popular and best-reviewed products on TechRadar throughout the year so we know when an item is discounted to its cheapest price. Using that as a baseline, we can pick out the treasures from the trash.

But even if a product has been cheaper before that doesn't mean it's excluded from our top picks. Prices change over time due to many other factors so if we feel you're still getting good value for money then that's a great reason to consider it as a top deal. This is especially true when it comes to more expensive premium options like MacBooks and OLED TVs that are often worth that extra cash if you want the very best out there.

Our search takes us across all the major and specialist retailers, too, so you can be sure we've taken a comprehensive look across the web and compared prices at other stores to pick out the best deals available during Prime Day. All the products you see here are hand-picked and judged by a real human, too, so each one is given a proper and detailed assessment before it gets added.

Not on the air fryer craze yet? Here's your chance

It feels like we're past the peak of the air fryer craze but they're still one of the best-selling products sold during this year's Prime Day.

Ninja is one of the big names in the space, so if you want to try one out for yourself then we can fully recommend these models that we've reviewed well here at TechRadar. Best of all? One is currently a whopping 50% off.

Ninja Foodi Dual Zone Digital Air Fryer: was £219.99 now £169 at Amazon
This spectacular speed cooker is one of our all-time favourite air fryers, and for Prime Day, it's been discounted by an impressive 23%, making it much more affordable. In our review, we gave it a full 5 stars, praising its cooking time synchronisation feature, a lovely sleek finish, and overall capacity of 7.6L. It's worth noting this isn't the lowest price we've seen on this model (which was £149.99 back in 2021 when it retailed for £179.99), but it's still a good saving from its current list price.

From PowerWash Simulator to real life

Deals Editor, James Pickard checking in quickly here to let you know about my one and only Prime Day purchase: a pressure washer. Why this out of everything?

Well, a few months ago I found myself losing countless evenings to PowerWash Simulator. Yep, it's exactly how it sounds. But what a calming, relaxing and peculiarly satisfying game it is. Blasting away all the dirt and grime from houses, patios, driveways - and even Cloud's bike from Final Fantasy 7 - was the perfect way to switch off and empty my mind each night.

Now, with summer upon us, and some grubby decking and exterior walls staring back at me from outside my windows, it was time to move my evening pastime into reality.

Before looking I was almost 100% sold on a Karcher, but I've actually plumped for this Bosch Aquatak 120. It's small, affordable and still reasonably powerful for the small and not-too-demanding tasks I have in mind.

Last chance! Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 won’t stay this cheap for long

Apple's best AirPods have been slashed to their lowest price on Amazon, which means you're getting a great bargain on the latest pair of earbuds.

We rate them the best AirPods you can buy for most people and the best wireless earbuds for iPhone owners. It's easy to see why, given their super audio quality, top of the line headphone features, long battery life and lightweight design.

You're also getting premium audio features, including next-generation active noise cancelation, transparency mode, adaptive EQ as well as spatial audio. So, you can probably see why this deal isn't going to last much longer.

Go planar magnetic with Edifier's Stax Spirit S3 headphones

Ever considered dipping your toes into the mystical world of planar magnetic headphones in the hopes of crisper, more detailed audio? Need more info on what that actually is before you commit? Looking for a top deal on a set of wireless headphones?

Keep reading, we've got all of the above points covered courtesy of audio guru Becky Scarrott,

First, the deal, because time is of the essence and maybe you came here for our recommendations (rather than our lectures): the wireless Edifier Stax Spirit S3 is a fine example of planar magnetic technology done right and they're 20% off for Prime Day at Amazon.

So let's do the quick lecture: planar magnetic drivers are different to the more typically-used dynamic drivers in that they use a flat diaphragm, rather than the traditional cone or dome-shaped membrane you find in most headphones. Why is that good? Planar magnetic drivers make the headphones that use them extremely resistant to various types of audio and electronic distortion – aka clearer, more detailed, better music.

Looking to stick with a dynamic driver design? Check out the best Amazon Prime Day headphones deals we've seen – but again, don't forget about these. Just sayin'.

Get our pick for the best phone for its best-ever price

If you're looking for the best phones, we keep a handy list to guide you and make sure to keep it updated with every great new phone we see. For Amazon Prime Day, we noticed that a number of phones on our current best phones list are on sale, and there are even some great bargains on phones that almost made the cut.

But most importantly, our pick for the best phone overall is on sale. You can buy the Galaxy S23 Ultra for the lowest price we've seen since the phone launched in February. You can get the S23 Ultra for £1,199 if you opt for the 512GB storage model, and that should be enough for all your apps, videos, photos and more

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: was £1,399 now £1,199 at Amazon
The latest Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra deal at Amazon features a £200 discount on the top-end smartphone. To summarize our Galaxy S23 Ultra review, this device melds an absolutely gorgeous phablet-like display with a superly powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and 200MP main camera sensor to provide an exceptional mobile experience. It's definitely overkill for those who can get away with just the basics, but those searching for one of the best phones money can buy will find a lot to like with the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

PS5 stock issues? Remember that!

There was a time when 90% of what I did as a deals editor was track down PS5 stock. What a time that was with all the mad scrambling to find consoles and chasing retailers to find when they'd next have an overpriced bundle available to buy.

Good times.

Clearly, that's all well in the past now as we've seen some big discounts on the PS5 this Prime Day. Take this fantastic value bundle that comes with God of War: Ragnarok for less than the price of a PS5 console by itself. Unheard of last year, but now it doesn't even seem to be selling out after a day on sale. It could go any minute, though, so don't dally if you've got your eye on the best PS5 deal this Prime Day.

Are these Prime Day bestsellers any good? Let's find out

Hey folks - Alex W checking in now. I'm the other deals editor here at TechRadar; taking over from James while he gets some much well-deserved rest.

What are people buying on Prime Day? Well, as it turns out Amazon has it's own Prime Day best-sellers page now that let's you browse the top 100 listings.

A quick glance suggests that tech is really popular right now unsurprisingly - but there are a few interesting selections in there on products we weren't expecting. Over the next couple of posts I'll be analysing the top products and chipping in whether they're actually worth the cash based on our reviews here at TechRadar.

Prime Day best sellers - the Ninja Foodi Max

So, here's the first best-seller on Amazon that I've decided to take a look at - a fairly pricey Ninja Foodi Max Multi-cooker for £199 (usually £309).

Am I surprised this is a best seller? Not particularly - Ninja makes some of the best appliances and their air fryers in particular are always up there with the highest trending products. This multi-cooker, however, is definitely one of the pricier options out there, and it's pretty big to boot.

That said, it's likely to save space on the kitchen-top since it can function as an air fryer, pressure cooker, and slow cooker, among other things. With 14 separate functions, you're going to be covered with this thing for a wide range of meals, which definitely offsets the high asking price. Note that we haven't reviewed this model personally here at TechRadar, but we have reviewed a slightly more advanced version, which we absolutely loved. You can check out the review right here.

Prime Day best sellers - Apple iPad 10.2

Next up - the good old Apple iPad 10.2. This is the Apple tablet for the people and today's best-seller rating at Amazon reflects that. Overall, it's not the fanciest slate in the range, but the 2021 iPad 10.2 is an amazingly solid piece of kit for the money and a great buy if you simply want the basics.

Taking a look at today's asking price of £299 - it's essentially a match for the record-low on this model. It's the same price that the iPad 10.2 fetched way back over Black Friday last year and the best deal we've seen so far this year. So, is it a good deal? Yes, but personally I was hoping for something a little juicier.

Prime Day best sellers - Microsoft Surface Pro 9

Ok, we're sticking with the theme of tablets for this next deal. The next Prime Day bestseller I'll take a look at is this whopping £300 discount on the Microsoft Surface Pro 9.

Overall, I think this is a solid if somewhat niche deal on a superb premium tablet. Is it for everyone? Nope, but those who want a lavish slate for productivity will find a lot to work with here. Not only is this the lowest price yet for this Core i5 variant, but it's being the previous record price by about £100. For my money, I wouldn't say this one has mass market appeal but it's definitely a fantastic deal in context.

Prime Day best sellers - Apple MacBook Air 13 M1

Yeah, we called it - the MacBook Air M1 is one of the most popular deals going right now on Prime Day. Shocker, I know.

We've already covered this deal multiple times but I'll just summarise why this deal is so good in context. Basically, this is an older model now but it's still absolutely fantastic thanks to its M1 processor, excellent screen, and almost unbeatable battery life. Apple has wisely kept this model around as kind of new entry-point into the world of MacBooks and it's easily one of the best laptop deals going right now. This is the lowest price yet for the model so it gets an easy five-star rating from me.

Prime Day best sellers - Amazon Fire HD 8

Tablets are selling like hot cakes this Prime Day it seems. I've already covered two pricey options just down below but here's a much, much more reasonably priced option courtesy of Amazon itself.

The Amazon Fire HD 8 is currently £49, which is getting close to loose change money these days. Is it a good deal? Yeah, it's alright, but it's not a record-breaking deal unfortunately - it was actually £8 cheaper over Black Friday.

2023-07-12T15:26:18.204Z

Prime Day best sellers - Fitbit Versa 3

The Versa is a great smartwatch but today's Prime Day deal is firmly in the 'OK' camp for me. It's been £3 cheaper in the past so this isn't a record-breaking listing by any stretch of the imagination. If you're looking for a decent fitness-focused wearable that doesn't break the bank, however, it could be a good option.

Prime Day best sellers - Anker Soundcore mini

It's no surprise this Anker Soundcore mini is one of Amazon's top selling Prime Day deals - it is, after all, an absolutely awesome little speaker that's perfect for the garden or park. Right now, it's never been cheaper thanks to Prime Day.

Has this Prime Day lived up to the hype?

As day two rolls on it's time to take a pause and look at Prime Day 2023 as a whole. Do I think it's been a good sale? Overall, I'd say it's been one of the stronger Prime Day sales over the past few years.

We've seen all the usual headline deals on Amazon devices, which are quite frankly a little boring at this point, but also a nice selection of discounts across tech and appliances. Generally speaking, if you're shopping for a product this Prime Day you can expect it's Prime Day deal to be either a record-low price, or a match for lowest price from last year's Black Friday sale.

Camera deal of the day?

OK, so we've already covered a superb deal on the Panasonic Lumix S5 II, but what about a deal that's arguably even better on the first-gen model?

This listing comes with not only the excellent 20-60mm kit zoom lens but a handy 50mm f1.8 prime lens for low-light shooting. It's quite simply a full and versatile full frame setup for a superb price. Yes, the S5 is a little older now but it's still an exceptionally capable hybrid camera for both stills and video.

Panasonic Lumix S5 (with 20-60mm and 50mm lens): was £1,999 now £1,299 at Amazon
A deal for the S5 was on the cards ever since it was succeeded by the incredible Panasonic S5 II this year, but our S5 review describes this low-price, full-frame mirrorless as one of the best hybrid all-round cameras you can buy and it's still a solid shooter today. What's more, it comes with the excellent 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 which is an excellent optic for photography and video, and a superb 50mm prime lens for low-light.

A little PSA!

Just a quick reminder folks - remember that this year's Amazon Prime Day is set to officially close at midnight tonight. While we would always advocate taking your time with your purchases - just know that you don't have long left!

Lego Star Wars sets for far, far less

Attention, Star Wars fans! Amazon has slashed the price of several Lego Star Wars sets (using its big, yellow lightsaber, presumably) for Prime Day, meaning you can now pick up Luke Skywalker's X-Wing for just £29.89 (down from £44.99), or Darth Vader's helmet for £49.99 (down from £59.99).

There are plenty more interstellar savings to be had, too, and we've rounded up the best of them in this dedicated Prime Day Lego Star Wars deals post.

Goodbye MacBook Air M1 – we hardly knew you

I bring you grave news – quite possibly our favorite Prime Day deal of 2023 has now officially sold out.

Just an hour ago it was still possible to get the Apple MacBook Air 13 M1 for just £770, which was the lowest price yet for this excellent ultrabook.

Looking for an alternative? Honestly, your best bet is probably the 2022 Apple MacBook Air M2 for £1,059, which is also at its lowest ever price. Unfortunately, upgrading to this model does come with a massive jump in price tag – although some would argue it's worth it thanks to the M2 chip and refreshed design.

A brew-tea-ful smart kettle deal

Amazon unveiled the world's first smart kettle, the Swan Alexa Kettle, as recently as March this year, but this futuristic bit of kit has already earned itself a handsome discount as part of the retailer's Prime Day sale.

What's a smart kettle, you ask? Well, with smart home speakers and assistants like Alexa, you can set up all kinds of automations and routines designed to make your life that little bit easier, and smart kettles like the Swan Alexa Kettle are designed to bring your morning brew into the fold.

There are now a few more smart kettles to choose from on Amazon, but the Swan Alexa Kettle remains the most well-rounded thanks to its gorgeous design, easy setup and impressive smart features. What's more, at £59 (down from £99.99), it's never been cheaper.

A big Scribe saving

The Amazon Kindle Scribe is a great eInk tablet for reading and writing, and it's gotten even better since it was originally launched in November 2022.

Now, Amazon's Prime Day sale has dropped the Kindle Scribe to its lowest-ever price – £254.99 down from £329.99 – and if you've ever considered adding this big, beautiful display to your portfolio, it's worth checking out this deal.

The Amazon Kindle Scribe isn't the best writing tablet in any one area, but it excels all-around, and it's still an excellent Kindle ereader, which means you get fantastic battery life, a sharp, bright screen and full access to the Amazon Kindle library of books and Audible audiobooks you already own.

Air fryer deal alert!

If you're looking to improve your kitchen inventory with a top-end air fryer (and let's be honest: who isn't in 2023?), Amazon has slashed the price of Ninja's best-selling dual-tray model, the Ninja AF300UK, which is now on sale for just £159.99 (down from £219.99).

We've only ever seen this particular model priced lower once before – way back in 2020, before its retail price was inflated to £219.99 – so we'd suggest cashing in on this offer while stock remains high. It won't last long, mind you, as this deal is currently the number one best-seller in Amazon's Home & Kitchen category (and remember: all Prime Day sales end at midnight!).

Ninja Foodi Dual Zone Digital Air Fryer: was £219.99 now £159.99 at Amazon
This spectacular speed cooker is one of our all-time favourite air fryers, and for Prime Day it's been discounted by an impressive 27%, making it much more affordable. In our Ninja AF300UK review, we gave it a full five stars, praising its cooking time synchronisation feature, lovely sleek finish, and overall capacity of 7.6L. It's worth noting this isn't the lowest price we've ever seen for this model – that was £149.99 back in 2020, prior to the inflation of its retail price – but £159.99 still represents a massive saving.

Countdown warning! 🚨

Another quick PSA for the UK-based folks out there, you've only got three hours (three hours!) left to cash in on any Prime Day deals that you may have had your eye on over these past two days.

We're not anticipating many more (if any) price drops on the products that are already proving popular, so grab that supersized OLED TV while you still can...
