Any product Buy Side recommends is a quality buy at its full price, so it’s particularly great when you can find them on sale. This year’s Prime Day deals event includes a number of our favorite items, with discounts of up to $100. To help you take advantage of these savings, we’ve listed them below—and watch this space for regular updates on the best “lightning deals,” too, as they become available.

Samsung ’s The Frame TV is part-tech, part-art, and it’s cool enough that we featured it as one of our favorite last-minute Father’s Day gifts. The TV looks great when you’re streaming your favorite shows, of course, but the anti-reflective matte display turns into a canvas for photos and painting when it’s off. There are several size and bezel configurations available; we have our eyes on the 55-inch model that’s down to under $1,200, an all-time low price.

The Fitbit Charge 5 offers many of the fitness tracking features of a more expensive device such as the Apple Watch at a much lower price—and it’s at a particularly low $105 for Prime Day. We cite it as the best fitness tracker for generalists due to its accurate measurements, automatic exercise recognition, sleep tracking and responsive touch screen.

The Theragun Mini offers a percussive massage to soothe sore muscles, and it fits in the palm of a hand. From our experience, it’s best to cycle through the three intensity settings to find the one that’s most comfortable for you. We think dads will love it, but it’s a great choice for anyone looking to relax their muscles after a workout or just generally pamper themselves.

This Bowflex offering is a slight variant of our pick for the best adjustable dumbbells for general strength training. They’re the same weights and—bonus!—they come with a stand as well. The bundle usually sells for about $580 so the Prime price is a significant savings. In fact, you’ll spend less than you would for the weights alone at their standard $430 price.

The Apple Watch Series 7 is the best fitness tracker for people who love to take interactive workout classes, including Apple Fitness+. Its large face and snappy processor also make it great for sending and receiving messages, keeping tabs on your calendar and streaming music to wireless headphones. It’s a good move to buy it now because this gadget has never been cheaper.

We consider the Halo View a great fitness tracker at its usual $80 price, so at $45 it’s hard to pass up if you’re shopping for an affordable fitness tracker. While it isn’t quite like having a miniature phone on your wrist, the Halo View is ideal for keeping track of info such as heart rate and step count. It also pairs with on-demand fitness classes, with a full year’s subscription bundled in the purchase price.

The Haiku L Smart Ceiling Fan is the most energy-efficient ceiling fan, and it’s stylish too. We’ve seen the fan drop below $600 only a few times since 2017, and the last significant sale was around the 2021 holiday shopping season.

The Thermacell E55 is one of our favorite Father’s Day gifts for its ability to keep the bugs away—and a great buy for anyone who enjoys spending time outside. The repeller creates a 20-foot barrier that’s more effective than candles and sprays, and doesn’t produce any odors. This bundle includes two units so, in essence, it’s a buy-one-get-one-half-off deal.

Experts recommend these velvet hangers to improve a dorm room, and a 100-pack typically costs up to $40. On Prime Day you’ll spend about half that. We love them for their grippiness and multiple color options. 

We’ve spotlighted the Coravin wine preservation system as a top wedding gift, and at the Prime Day discounted price—nearly half off—you’ll want to buy it for yourself or your favorite wine aficionado. The set includes the Coravin tool as well as three argon capsules and six screw-top attachments.

Our favorite lower-price coffee grinder normally sells for about $100, and we haven’t seen it this low since early 2021. If you’re serious about coffee, or just curious about the world of craft beans, this Bodum appliance is a smart buy to level up your java game.

These BPA-free, insulated vessels keep your vino chilled at an optimal temperature, between 43 and 53 degrees, which is why they appear in our roundup of experts’ favorite stemless glasses for white wine. They haven’t been priced this low since last summer.

For precise grilling, no tool beats the Thermapen One, according to various experts we interviewed for the 12 Best BBQ Gifts for Grillers. They pointed out its ability to give an accurate reading “at lightning speed”—and your best bet is to buy one (or a few) now while the company is offering it for 25% off.

A cup of coffee going cold can ruin your morning; that’s where the Ember Mug², on sale for $20 off its usual price, comes in. This clever vessel is one of our favorite coffee gifts because it keeps your coffee at your desired temperature. Its built-in battery lasts for about an hour, and if you keep it plugged in, it’ll hold the temp indefinitely.

Not only are the Bose QuietComfort 45s our favorite noise-canceling headphones, they’re also our favorite Prime Day deal. These fantastic-sounding headphones normally sell for $330, so you’re getting a real bargain by grabbing them at $100 off that price.

If you prefer headphones with a more modern design but don’t want to give up high-quality sound, this Bose set is worth considering. At a third off, they’re more than $100 less than their typical price.

Sony ’s headphones are an excellent alternative to those from Bose, and they’re also at their best-ever price during Prime Day. We love the way these headphones look and sound, and highly recommend them if you’re OK with touch-based controls rather than buttons.

If there’s one item that can instantly transform your home-office desk, it’s this “aesthetically pleasing and very functional” laptop stand, Annapolis-based professional organizer Jaelle Williams has told us. It’s not only a space saver but also a “face saver” on video calls, elevating your laptop to just the right level for a flattering angle.

The Ninebot F40 is the top pick in our soon-to-publish guide to electric scooters and we’ve never seen it priced lower than $650, so the Prime Day drop is particularly appealing. Not just a fun ride, scooters are also a practical way to commute, and this one will give you about 15 miles per charge, which should be plenty for most urban environments.

Need a WiFi-enabled camera to keep tabs on your dog or cat while you’re out? There are numerous high-tech, treat-dispensing versions on the market but experts have told us a no-frills version with sharp picture quality, like the Petcube Cam, is just fine. Marked down 28% right now, this device is also easy to mount to a wall or shelf with adhesive tape (included).

It’s a fact: Most laptop webcams are terrible. Investing in an external webcam is a relatively affordable way to look good on video calls, and this Prime Day sale on Anker’s camera makes the purchase even more appealing. The 1080p camera will not only deliver a sharper image, it also has built-in intelligence to adjust the focus, field of view and colors, all to make you look that much better. It’s only dropped to $100 once this year, making this a perfect time to buy.
