It is the final day of Amazon Prime Day—the final countdown, the time of FOMO dread, the last official day of the best deals. The fourth day is the day when we bring you the sun, the moon, and the stars. After today, many things will cost a little bit more for the foreseeable future—especially laptops.
But new deals are still rolling out all day today. Friday is the day when a lot of you get your paychecks, and so Amazon is filling up the virtual racks with impulse buys. We'll be out here sorting the true deals from the fake deals. You worked hard for that paycheck, and we plan to make sure you get something really good out of it. Like, 40% off Bose headphones good. You know? We all persist together.
We will update our overview of the absolute best Amazon Prime Day deals three times today. We'll add new terrific deals. We'll cut the deals that already died, or that don't look quite as fresh. And we'll be here live all day with the most Lightning of deals, mowing our lawn with robots while we work, and spouting bum opinions about how you shouldn't spend more than $500 on a Chromebook.
We're here. It's still Prime Day. It is always Prime Day.

I Love This Cute Little Photo Printer And So Does My Fridge
HP
Sprocket Portable Photo Printer (2nd Edition)
I haven't pitched my “Best Gear for Blowing Up Your Life And Moving to Another State” guide yet, but this photo printer would be on it. Regardless of where my pitch lands, this will still be featured in an upcoming gift guide. The people yearn for physical photos, and while digital frames and art TVs are cool, they aren't quite as cool as holding something tangible. This little printer spits out 2-by-3 photos that are also stickers. Decorate your fridge, your phone case, your walls, or your junk journal, and do it for less money than usual thanks to Prime Day. Refills aren't too expensive, either.
You Deserve Good Espresso

Ninja
Luxe Cafe Premier Series Espresso Machine
This semiautomatic machine is a one-stop-shop for espresso beverage-making. It has a built-in grinder and milk frother, built-in scale, and a manual pressurized portafilter. The machine is great for beginners and can also make drip coffee and cold brew, if you aren’t feelin’ like espresso. This usually pricey investment will basically pay for itself if you’re someone who usually buys a latte daily. Plus, it’s $100 off right now, making the deal a little bit sweeter.
I'm Dreaming of My Cozy Earth Sheets, Which Are 20% Off Today

Cozy Earth
Bamboo Sheet Set
I finally snagged a set of Cozy Earth bamboo sheets, which my esteemed colleague Nena Farrell has been raving about for years. The woman knows what she's talking about, y'all. These bamboo viscose sheets are silky-soft but warm up quickly, with a slinky quality that instantly makes you feel comfortable in bed. They also wash up beautifully and are color-fast. They're 20 percent off today.
Our Favorite Earbuds of All Time Are Down to $100

Pixel Buds 2a
Apple deals get all the love, but there are some good deals for green texters too. (Let the record show I was an Android user for years and therefore am allowed to make that joke.)
The Google Pixel Buds 2A are actually our favorite earbuds of all. They work well with Android and iOS, they're comfortable, and the case even has a replaceable battery. We do wish there were volume controls on the earbuds and that they could be recharged wirelessly. But they're perfectly capable and don't have a three-digit price tag thanks to Prime Day. Find more tech deals over here!
Wouldn't it Be Nice To Have a TV on Wheels

32-Inch 4K UHD Smart Portable TV on Wheels

Samsung
Movingstyle Essential 32
I am a huge proponent of televisions on wheels and have been for the better part of a decade.
Any television I own, even a 75-incher that's as large as a twin mattress, will be affixed to some sort of cart to be moved between rooms. My brother-in-law has said it is the smartest weird thing I have ever done in my household. (I do a lot of weird and debatably smart things around my house, such as taking my gas range out to the garage for a few years and baking everything in a Breville Smart Oven to save space in a cramped kitchen)
You need a TV on wheels, and you can get a Prime Day deal on the Samsung Movingstyle my colleague Luke Larsen recently reviewed, or the Apolosign I included in our list of the best Father's Day gifts for dads.
The Apolosign is at $790, which is $10 than the cheapest we've seen it in recent months and $160 below what it was going for last week. It's basically a massive Android tablet mounted to a cart with a camera, and it can be flipped vertically for streaming. The Movingstyle is a more traditional TV and does not have a touchscreen, but it's also half the price.
Sources Say You're Only Supposed to Have 400 Milligrams of Caffeine Per Day
Red Bull
Energy Drink Summer Celebration Variety Pack
…And that's exactly why I like drinking Red Bull while I'm at the bar, at a show, or at my desk for the fourth day writing about Amazon's deals. At 80 milligrams of caffeine per can, it's like volume eating but for sustained energy. This variety pack will be arriving at my doorstep soon and contains twelve cans of Red Bull in patriotic red, white, and blue can colors. I wish they were sugar-free but at this point maybe what I actually need is more sugar. Other varieties and variety packs of Red Bull are also on sale. You might not be as fast as Max Verstappen post-consumption but there's only one way to find out for certain.
The Final Countdown Starts Now
Day 4 of our Prime Day coverage has begun.
The Deals Will Continue Tomorrow
And so ends another day of hot deals on cool things, as the four-day Prime Day event (Prime Days, perchance? Prime Week? Prime Season?) nears the end of its third day.
We'll be back tomorrow morning bright and early at 6 a.m. Eastern, tracking which deals are still live—and which deals have newly surfaced as a fourth-act surprise.
In the meantime, check out the 99 Absolute Best Prime Day Deals, each one still rolling as of the close of business today. We'll be back up in your business tomorrow.
An Indoor Cam That Can Recognize Your Cat
Photograph: Simon Hill
Nest Cam Indoor (Wired, 3rd Gen)
Some of the benefit of an indoor cam is what it does tell you. Some is what it doesn't tell you. The indoor Google Nest is by far the smartest indoor security camera on the market, and that's because it offers actually accurate detection and alerts about the people, animals, or vehicles it spots in your home. You don't need to be alarmed about an intruder when the actual situation is that Martha, your cat, has fallen asleep in front of the camera for the fifth time that day.
The 2K resolution at 30 fps is decent, with both HDR and night vision. There’s also two-way audio, and enforced two-factor authentication. The catch, of course, is that you'll need a Google Home Premium subscription at $10 per month or $100 a year, if you want to take full advantage of the familiar-face alerts and 30 days of event video history. This said, the subscription covers all your Nest devices. So if you're already hooked in, you're already hooked in. Anyway, the cam is 30 percent off for Prime Day.
This Is the Most Valuable Tech in my Home

Ecovacs
Deebot X11 Omnicyclone
Although they can be pricey, I cannot imagine my life (or house) without a robovac-mop combo. I live with two roommates and two cats in a small apartment, and my floor gets gross fast. A combo robovac-mop is basically a tiny robot butler that intelligently vacuums carpets and mops hardwood floors to give you an effortlessly clean home. The four-figure MSRP can be a little steep, but that's why you wait until Prime Day when it's $400 off regular price. I promise you, you’ll be thankful you grabbed one when you never have to hand-clean your floors again.
These Desktop Speakers Offer What I Need, But Not More Than What I Need
Photograph: Simon Hill
Edifier
M60
I spend too much time at my work laptop to want to live with the sorta washed-out speakers that come with it. I don't need a party system, or a replacement for my home entertainment setup, but I do want clarity on a Zoom call. At the sensible end of the budget spectrum, Edifier is the brand that dominates WIRED's picks for the best computer speakers.
These Edifier H60s are only $150 right now and offer excellent clarity of sound, USB-C or Bluetooth connectivity, and decent but not excellent bass. It's cool, though. I don't need excellent bass on my laptop speakers.
This Netgear Mesh Wi-Fi Is My Dream

Netgear
Orbi 770 Series
It's funny how your dreams change. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a paleontologist. But these days, one of my fondest current dreams is the Wi-Fi 7 Netgear Orbi 77 —the mesh router my colleague Simon Hill pegs as the best mesh Wi-Fi system for most households. The reasons are simple: my house is old, the foundations are strong and somewhat impervious, and I want my smart grills outside to stay hooked to Wi-Fi. This way I can go out on the town and still monitor a long sparerib cook.
This Netgear offers tri-band coverage (2.4-, 5-, and 6-GHz), while the internal antennae mean the whole home gets online. This adds up to superfast connectivity in the office, but still good long-range connectivity where my grill lives. These are my dreams. My dreams are humble. But my dreams are also 23 percent off.
This Is the Most You Need to Spend on a Chromebook
Photograph: Best Buy
Acer
Chromebook Plus 515
Honestly, does a Chromebook more than $500 make sense? Kinda the whole point of a Chromebook, for me personally, is that it's a way of getting a laptop for less than $500 that isn't resolutely terrible. So you make some trade-offs. You farm your memory to the cloud, you give up a little flexibility, and you get a cheap laptop that can still perform.
Our resident Chromebook expert, Luke Larsen, has strong arguments to the contrary, so maybe I'm just a cheapskate. But speaking as a cheapskate, this $340 deal on the Chromebook Plus 515 hits the sweet spot between solid performance and "I don’t want to pay more than $500 for a Chromebook."
This Air Purifier Doubles as a Cat Perch

Dreame
FP10 Air Purifier
One of the reasons I’m such a fan of air purifiers is that I live in a small apartment with two cats and a roommate who suffers from pet allergies. With so many different types of purifiers on the market, it can be hard to know which to invest in. I love this air purifier designed specifically for pet hair that also doubles as a cat perch. It has a special self-cleaning roller designed to suck up pet hair with a self-cleaning system that rotates the rolling brush and filter in 360-degrees to prevent pet hair that’s been captured from clogging. It has “Loop Boost” technology, which works to recycle air in the room faster, capturing airborne dust and dander and boosting purification efficiency by 19 percent. This, along with HEPA filtration, combines to eliminate pet odors. Plus, the device doubles as cat furniture, and it’s $150 off right now.
The Dryer Vent Cleaning Kit Is Trending Again

Holikme
30 Feet Dryer Vent Cleaner Kit
You guys love this thing. It trends every Prime Day, and last year I actually bought one to see what the fuss is about. It’s just a box of plastic tubes that connect to one another and fit onto your drill, and the terminal tube has what looks like a toilet brush affixed to the end. (There’s also a bottle-brush-looking option, but I’ve never tried that one.)
However, this kit definitely works to scrub the inside of your dryer vents, and because the tubes are flexible, it’s a great solution for homes with venting that may have twists or turns. Dryer vents clogged with lint are a well-known fire hazard, so what better thing to spend $17 on than peace of mind?
I Dislike That I Have Been Thinking About Dryer Lint Fires Recently
And that I therefore will probably be buying this kit, so that I can stop thinking about dryer lint fires.
We Won’t Shut Up About These Headphones

Sony
WH-1000XM6
Pretty much everyone on the WIRED Reviews team loves these discounted headphones, which are nearly 20% off right now. Sony's noise-canceling WH-1000XM6 headphones are an easy choice to top my personal list as well. These headphones have the best noise reduction capabilities of any we’ve tested. They also have 30 hours of battery life, multipoint Bluetooth pairing, and a new, smaller case and folding ear cups, which makes them even easier to take along while traveling.
The Prettiest Smart Fridge is $400 Off

Rocco
Super Smart Fridge
You never know what the viral products will actually look like, and whether they'll work as designed, when they finally show up in your home. For weeks, the Rocco Super Smart Fridge had haunted WIRED gear team editor Kat Merck's social feeds—perhaps anticipating her need for a drink in an unseasonably warm summer. Perhaps, she wondered, Rocco secretly knew she wouldn't walk 50 feet for a canned cocktail.
But she wasn't prepared for how good the dang thing looked when it actually showed up, an assemblage of color-coordinated metal and fluted glass that looks both retro and contemporary at once. But aside from being pretty, the Rocco's marquee feature is that it recognizes the drinks you put into it—and keeps an app-accessible inventory so you'll always know what's in it, and what you need to buy when you're out at the store. This is more convenient than you expect, and the fridge is discerning enough to recognize even individual flavors of Kirkland Signature sparkling water. (Shout-out to the real Costco heads.)
Anyway, when you buy it, make sure you buy it on sale. The Blue, White, and Icy Blue colors are $400 off right now. They probably won't be $400 off next week.
The Best Water Filter Is an In-Line Water Filter

Waterdrop
X16 Under-Sink Tankless Reverse Osmosis System
As WIRED reviewer Matthew Korfhage notes in his excellent filtered water pitcher explainer, most municipal drinking water supplies meet federal safety standards, and only about 4 percent of water systems have unsafe levels of contaminants. Unfortunately, my city’s water supply is one of them. Even though local water systems don’t have to test for PFOAs until 2031, my city’s does, and the levels are regularly above the state action level for PFOA and PFOS, which regularly triggers warnings and alarming notices for residents. For a while, I opted for a filtered pitcher, but filling it multiple times a day was too laborious. If you’re serious about safe water, the only practical solution is either a whole-house system or an in-line reverse osmosis system with its own tap. Of the latter, Waterdrop’s tankless X series is extremely popular, and for good reason. The X16 in particular is easy to install, with a capacity for 1,600 gallons—this means it can fill a cup or even a pot within seconds— and a remineralization cartridge to adjust the water to a perfect-tasting 7.5 pH. Though I have not personally been able to test its ability to remove PFOA and PFOS, Waterdrop does provide third-party testing data on its website showing removal rates around 99 percent.
$150 Off the Best Blender There Is

Vitamix
5200
I’ve had several Vitamix models throughout my life, but this has been the most efficient model I’ve owned. As a mostly gluten-free vegan who eats pretty much only vegetables and fruits, this baby has a permanent spot on my countertop because it makes smoothies, soups, sauces, dressings, and more with silky-smooth ease.
The 5200 is simple, with just two switches, a 10-speed dial, and a tall 64-ounce blending chamber with a tapered bottom. But its mix of power, durability, finesse, and time-tested design has made the 5200 not just the top-rated blender among all blenders we've tested—it's owned and loved by about half WIRED's reviews team. It lasts years, maybe decades. But because it starts quite expensive, it's best to wait for a deal. This 30-percent off deal is as good as you'll do.
The One Roborock Vacuum You Should Buy During Prime Day
Photograph: Adrienne So
Roborock
Qrevo Curv 2 Flow
Roborock is one of the biggest name in robot vacuums. But you'll be forgiven if you don't know your Qrevo from your Saros 20. After sorting through all of the various Roborock deals, WIRED's vacuum expert Nena Farrell arrived at the conclusion there's really only one Prime Day Roborock vacuum deal you need to pay attention to this year.
he Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow is a whopping $300 off list price right now. Though the Qrevo is ostensibly a member of Roborock's more affordable line, it actually outperformed more expensive Roborock models when it came to navigation–and still offers an impressive 20,000 Pa of suction. It's the best Roborock deal out there this Prime Day.
