Amazon Prime Day is happening now through June 26, offering exclusive discounts to Prime members (if you’re not a member yet, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial). Some of the top deals include the Oura Ring 4, Medicube Zero Pore Pads, Samsonite luggage set, plus there’s lots of essentials on sale, like trash bags and dishwasher pods.
I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a reporter for NBC Select, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I also spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts to find the best Prime Day deals — each one I recommend below is highly rated and 20 percent off or more, as well as at its lowest price in at least three months.
I’m updating this list live throughout Amazon Prime Day, so check back for new deals throughout the day.

The best Prime Day 2026 deals
Cascade Platinum Plus Dishwasher Pods
Lowest price ever
$16.09\ \ $22.99\ \ Amazon\ \ Now 30% off $22.94\ \ Walmart $23.98\ \ Home Depot
Prime Day is an ideal time to save on household essentials like dishwasher pods, and Cascade’s made our list of the very best. You get 57 in a box — with the discount, that’s only about $0.29 per pod. Each one has soap inside that gets rid of grime, grease, sticky stuff and stuck-on food residue. NBC Select senior editor Shalwah Evans says the pods even get the worst residue off her air fryer rack and frying pans.
Apple AirPods Pro 3

What to know
Editor's note: These AirPods were $10 last for a few days last week, but because they're 28% off and a NBC Select bestseller, we still think they're a good deal.
I’ve been a loyal AirPods Pro user for years. I use them to listen to music, take calls and while I’m doing workouts. This is Apple’s most recent model, with multiple listening modes (including noise cancellation) and up to 10 hours of battery life, according to the brand. The earbuds have sensors that track your heart rate and calories burned in workouts, a hearing aid feature and live language translation abilities. They come with ear tips in five sizes so you can get the best fit, and a Mag-Safe charging case for easy juicing up.
Shark NV356E Upright Vacuum Cleaner
41,879Amazon Reviews $139.99\ \ $199.99\ \ Amazon\ \ Now 30% off
This vacuum will be the cleaning hero in your home due to its powerful suction that cleans up messes on all floors. It also has a built-in HEPA filter that traps dust and other allergens. It also has a detachable pod, which lets you access hard-to-reach areas like under furniture and above doorframes. The vacuum comes with useful attachments like a dusting brush and a crevice tool to reach tight corners.
Le Creuset Nonstick Pro 8-inch Fry Pan
455Amazon Reviews $91.95\ \ $114.95\ \ Amazon\ \ Now 20% off $92.00\ \ $115.00\ \ Williams-Sonoma\ \ Now 20% off $115.00\ \ Macy's
Le Creuset’s 8-inch nonstick pan is made from anodized aluminum, a material that helps it heat up quickly and distribute heat evenly, according to the brand. It also has a textured interior that helps you brown and sear food. The pan is compatible with all stovetops, oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, dishwasher-safe and works with metal utensils.
Crest 3D Whitestrips Professional Effects
$34.99\ \ $45.99\ \ Amazon\ \ Now 24% off
I’ve reported about oral care for six years, and no matter how many teeth whitening strips I test, Crest’s come out on top for two reasons: They actually work and they’re easy to use. The NBC Select Wellness Award-winning strips are coated in hydrogen peroxide to brighten your smile and remove surface stains, and they have a no-slip grip — I have conversations while wearing them and they don’t budge. You get 44 strips per pack, which is enough for 22 treatments.
Medicube Zero Pore Toner Pads 2.0
Lowest price ever
$14.90\ \ $31.00\ \ Amazon\ \ Now 52% off $20.99\ \ Target $21.00\ \ Ulta
These exfoliating pore pads have transformed my skin over the past nine months — I use them every other night, and over time, they’ve made my skin softer and smoother, and visibly reduced pore size in my t-zone. The pads are soaked in an AHA and BHA solution, and they’re dual-sided: The textured side gently buffs away dead skin cells and the soft side has a soothing effect. Medicube’s Zero Pore Pads come with tweezers to grab one at a time, and there’s a spot to store the tool in the jar’s lid.
Samsonite Omni 2 Hardside Expandable Luggage
Lowest price ever
$134.99\ \ $389.99\ \ Amazon\ \ Now 65% off
My Samsonite luggage is still in great condition after I’ve beat it up during years of travel. This set comes with two of the brand’s hardside Omni suitcases: a 20-inch carry-on and a 24-inch checked bag. They’re both expandable and have a scratch-resistant exterior, an adjustable handle, interior organization systems and 360-degree dual spinner wheels. There’s also a built-in TSA-approved luggage lock on the checked bag.
Watch our Samsonite luggage review.
Amazon Smart Plug
570,973Amazon Reviews $12.99\ \ $24.99\ \ Amazon\ \ Now 48% off $24.99\ \ Home Depot $29.99\ \ Staples
Once you connect devices like lamps, fans and small kitchen appliances to this smart plug, you can control them from the Amazon Alexa app or via voice commands. The app also lets you set up timers, schedules and routines, plus the plug is compact, so it keeps your second outlet free.
Laneige Lip Glowy Balm
34,307Amazon Reviews $11.40\ \ $19.00\ \ Amazon\ \ Now 40% off $15.20\ \ $19.00\ \ Sephora\ \ Now 20% off $19.00\ \ Laneige
Beyond giving you a sheer tint and shine, Laneige’s lightweight lip balm is moisturizing thanks to ingredients like murumuru and shea butters. Once I apply it, it keeps my lips hydrated and soft for hours. The tube is pocket-sized, so I always bring it with me everywhere, and I either wear it on its own or put it over a more pigmented, matte lipstick.
Amazon Fire TV Stick HD
Lowest price ever
824Amazon Reviews $15.99\ \ $34.99\ \ Amazon\ \ Now 54% off $15.99\ \ $34.99\ \ Target\ \ Now 54% off $15.99\ \ $34.99\ \ Best Buy\ \ Now 54% off
Once you plug the Amazon Fire Stick into your TV’s USB port, you can stream your favorite movies, shows and music across platforms. It also lets you play Xbox games without a separate console, control compatible smart home devices and connect a pair of Bluetooth headphones. This Fire Stick, which is optimized for HD TVs, comes with an Alexa Voice Remote.
Bissell Little Green Multipurpose Upholstery Cleaner
93,473Amazon Reviews $94.99\ \ $129.99\ \ Amazon\ \ Now 27% off $100.99\ \ $129.99\ \ Wayfair\ \ Now 22% off $129.99\ \ BISSELL
Every time I use my Bissell Little Green Machine to spot clean carpet, area rugs and upholstered furniture, I’m amazed by how well it gets stains, odors and dirt out of fabric. It’s so easy to use: You just add water and the included cleaning solution to one removable tank, and then you use the nozzle to spray the solution on fabric, scrub the area and suction up the mess. The dirty water goes into a separate removable tank. The appliance comes with a self-cleaning tool to rinse out the hose when you’re done, a Tough Stain Tool and a Spraying Crevice Tool to get into tight spaces.
Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray (4-Pack)
$12.40\ \ $21.56\ \ Amazon\ \ Now 42% off $19.96\ \ Walmart
As someone who doesn’t have a dishwasher, I’m very picky about my dish soap, and Dawn Powerwash is the only one I’ve bought for years. It gets literally everything off my dishes with minimal scrubbing and no water, rinses off in seconds and never leaves behind spots or a grimy residue. This starter pack comes with one sprayer and four refill bottles of soap.
Oura Ring 4
Lowest price ever
$279.30\ \ $499.00\ \ Amazon\ \ Now 44% off $279.30\ \ $499.00\ \ Oura Ring\ \ Now 44% off $399.00\ \ $499.00\ \ Best Buy\ \ Now 20% off
NBC Select reporter Harry Rabinowitz has tested the Oura Ring 4 for more than a year and says it’s a fantastic health, sleep and fitness tracker if you want something more subtle than a bulky smartwatch. Plus, he finds its data accurate. The Oura Ring gives you up to eight days of battery life per charge, and it’s water-resistant up to 328 feet. You’ll need an Oura Membership to see your data and use all of the app’s features — it’s $70 a year.

Waterpik Cordless Advanced 2.0 Flosser
76,707Amazon Reviews $59.99\ \ $99.99\ \ Amazon\ \ Now 40% off $59.99\ \ $99.99\ \ Walmart\ \ Now 40% off $99.99\ \ Waterpik
This water flosser is an NBC Select Wellness Award-winner that also earned the American Dental Association’s Seal of Acceptance. It has three pressure settings and a water reservoir built into its handle that gives you about 45 seconds of continuous spray, according to the brand. The cordless, water-resistant Waterpik comes with four tips that rotate 360 degrees to reach all angles of your mouth. The brand says its battery lasts for up to four weeks per charge.
Ecolution Micro-Pop Popcorn Popper
75,370Amazon Reviews $15.99\ \ $19.99\ \ Amazon\ \ Now 20% off
Upgrade your microwaveable popcorn with this dishwasher-safe kitchen gadget. You use the popper’s lid to measure out your popcorn kernels before pouring them inside, and then you put it in the microwave for about three minutes. You can also put butter on top of the lid — it has little holes, so as the butter melts, it drips over the fresh popcorn. The 3-quart popper has a wide mouth, so you can use it to serve the snack, and its handle stays cool.
Amika Perk Up Talc-Free Dry Shampoo
$20.30\ \ $29.00\ \ Amazon\ \ Now 30% off $29.00\ \ Sephora $29.00\ \ Ulta
Hairstylists we talked to love Amika’s Perk Up Dry Shampoo because it blends in easily with an invisible finish, gives you volume and texture between washes, and isn’t too heavy on hair, which means it doesn’t make hair fall flat. They say you can use the dry shampoo from roots to ends. It’s made with rice starch to absorb moisture, oils and odors from the scalp, as well as nourishing sea buckthorn berry.
Stasher 4-Pack Starter Kit
Lowest price ever
$38.36\ \ $57.99\ \ Amazon\ \ Now 34% off
I swapped disposable plastic bags for Stasher’s reusable, dishwasher-safe silicone ones years ago, and now I own too many to count. This pack comes with four in different sizes: snack, sandwich, stand-up mid and stand-up bowl. Each Stasher bag has a leak-free Pinch-Loc seal, and they’re microwave-, freezer-, sous-vide- and oven-safe up to 424 degrees Fahrenheit.
Read our Stasher Bag review.
Blink Video Doorbell
Lowest price ever
12,342Amazon Reviews $19.99\ \ $49.99\ \ Amazon\ \ Now 60% off $49.99\ \ Best Buy $49.99\ \ Target
See, hear and speak to visitors with Blink’s Video Doobell, which pairs with the brand’s app so you can livestream footage with a head-to-toe view from wherever you are. The app also sends you real-time notifications if you get a Blink subscription. The doorbell comes with three AA batteries inside, which you’ll need to replace about every two years, according to the brand. It’s compatible with Amazon-Alexa enabled devices, too.
Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil
60,501Amazon Reviews $22.40\ \ $32.00\ \ Amazon\ \ Now 30% off $32.00\ \ Ulta $32.00\ \ Sephora
I swear by Olaplex’s hair oil to soften, smooth out and add shine to my curls, and since a few drops go a long way, the bottle lasts me months. I always apply the oil before using hot tools since it offers heat protection up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, and it gives you frizz control and humidity resistance for up to 72 hours, according to the brand. The oil, which you can use on all hair types, as well as wet and dry hair, is also color-safe and works on chemically treated hair.

Why are these Prime Day deals worth it?
Amazon Prime Day historically offers Prime members some of the lowest prices of the year on products across categories, and these limited-time deals only last through June 26. All of my recommendations above are based on NBC Select’s previous coverage and reporting. I also included products the NBC Select staff has tested. I evaluated the quality of these deals by running them through price trackers like CamelCamelCamel, and I only included ones that:
- Are at their lowest price in at least three months
- Are 20% off or more
- Are highly rated with at least a 4-star average rating from hundreds of customers on Amazon
