It’s worth one final look around because there are new sales that have come online today and, unfortunately, some you might have been considering that are over.

Prime Day cookware deals
There are a lot of pots and pans on sale during Amazon Prime Day every year, but the smart buys are always the forever pieces that end up being hundreds of dollars off. The big deal on All-Clad's D3 7-piece cookware set ended, but you can still get a pair skillets from the line for 20% off or a beautiful Stargazer cast iron pan, which might be the only thing that will last you even longer than the All-Clad skillets.
Prime Day knife deals
Here’s the situation with buying knives on Prime Day: Most of the deals that end up flashing across your screen—knife sets, chef’s knives, whatever—come from brands we’d recommend you stay away from. There are basically four brands on sale right now we’d recommend you consider: Shun (beautiful Japanese blades, well regarded by our knife reviewer Jesse Raub), Wüsthof (heavy-duty German blades), Misen (an old-school DTC brand that has consistently impressed us), and Victorinox (a quality budget knife maker). You might luck out with another one, but you might also end up with a knife so light that it feels like a (very dangerous) kids toy. The smartest buys may be the small sets: just a chef's knife and a paring knife.
Prime Day deals on kitchen tools
If you are not using a kitchen scale for your everyday cooking and baking, trust us, you could be doing it better. And the scale we've been going on and on about for years costs barely more than $20. Other tools you’ll use every day (or should be) like quality wood cutting boards, Thermoworks top-of-the-line instant-read thermometer (25% off), and a mandoline (34% off)are on sale too.
Prime Day deals on countertop appliances
Blenders, air fryers, and food processors are obviously core parts of any well-stocked kitchen in 2026, and if you don't have one of them yet, now's the time with sales from Vitamix, Cuisinart, and our favorite Cosori air fryer. But it's also a chance for some of the more niche things you might otherwise dismiss if they weren't such a deal. Rice cookers, ice cream makers, and the very best juicer money can buy are all discounted right now.
Prime Day coffee deals
Some of the best buys on Prime Day every year are on coffee equipment. And this year is the year you move on from pods. Look, if you want to get a Nespresso machine, you can. They're on sale. But you can get a pro-quality grinder or a drip machine that's as good as pour-over from Technivorm or Fellow, and a milk frother from Dreo that makes prepping milk for flat whites a breeze (it also makes killer hot chocolate for the kids).
Prime Day bar deals
If you’re all set with kitchen equipment it’s time to move over to the home bar. We’re a little iffy on Hexclad cookware, but the well-saturated brand makes a really interesting cocktail shaker. If it seems a little too out there for you, a set of weighted tins will give you a timeless way to shake. And don’t sleep on the importance of access to giant ice cubes, or a lidded ice cube tray to make them (a silicone ice cube tray is one of the only items where we'll say brand doesn't matter—even the random Amazon brands we've used have been just fine). They melt slow in an old fashioned or negroni so the drinks don’t get watered down.
Prime Day deals for outdoor entertaining
With the 4th of July and all those peak summer cookouts coming, now is a chance to get all the gear you need: coolers, grills, pizza ovens, and more, like the best grill cleaning tool I've ever tried.
Prime Day cleaning and organizing deals
The top of our list when it comes for easy ways to make your kitchen and your home feel a little cleaner are using a mop vac (that mops and vacuums at the same time) and a nice air purifier. Great versions of both from Dyson, Tineco, and Shark can get to work right away making things feel just a little more put together at your house.

Your Prime Day burning questions, answered
When is Amazon Prime Day 2026?
Amazon Prime Day is happening right now, from Tuesday, June 23, through Friday, June 26. Over four days, shoppers can find ongoing deals as well as some flash sales for one day (or a few hours) only dropping at 12 a.m., 8 a.m., and 1 p.m. PT (3 a.m., 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. ET) on each day of the event.
Typically, Prime Day has occurred in the middle of July. However, for 2026, Amazon has moved up the date of its biggest bespoke sale to June. Amazon has hosted a similar Big Deal Days sales event in the fall, meaning you don’t necessarily have to think about your gifting season shopping just yet—but you might find a few discounted giftable items too good to pass up.
How do I access Amazon's Prime Day deals?
In order to score Prime Day discounts (and the best prices on Amazon more broadly), you need an Amazon Prime membership. Currently, membership costs either $14.99 per month or $139 for a discounted annual subscription. It includes free same-day, one-day, and two-day shipping on eligible items as well as access to grocery delivery from Amazon and Whole Foods Market.
Other benefits include Grubhub+ membership, Amazon Music access, photo and video cloud storage, plus gas station discounts and some prescription savings. More recently Amazon has started offering discounted monthly memberships starting at $6.99/month for those receiving government assistance or meeting certain income requirements and $7.49/month for “young adults” ages 18 to 24.
How do we vet the best Prime Day kitchen deals?
Amazon has thousands of items on sale for Prime Day, and all of that volume can be overwhelming. To give you an assist with your shopping, we pulled together items we found on sale from brands we love, cross-checking our numerous product reviews to highlight only the best deals on kitchen appliances, tools, and accessories that we think are worth a Buy Now click.
Now, any savvy internet shopper knows that many deals that look too good to be true actually are—meaning, brands mark up their items ahead of a sale so that they can show steeper discounts during the event. Pretty sneaky! In order to avoid falling victim to this trap, we use tools like Amazon’s own Alexa for Shopping price history widget and CamelCamelCamel to track price changes throughout the year. That way we can tell you if the price is the lowest we’ve seen or if we expect it to dip even more, such as during Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
Are Prime Day deals better than Black Friday deals?
Sometimes! Both Amazon Prime Day (and its fall cousin Big Deal Days) and Black Friday/Cyber Monday week have brands clambering to give their customers some seriously good prices. To see if an offer is at an all-time low, click the Price history button on Amazon (in blue next to the price).
What if I don’t like shopping on Amazon, can I still get a deal?
Absolutely. Hip to the success of Amazon’s shopping “holiday,” many competitors now run big sales during the same time period. Major retailers like Target, Walmart, Best Buy, Ikea, and Home Depot have “Anti-Prime Day” deals active right now.
Brands also often slash prices on their own websites—right now we’re seeing huge sales at Dyson, Shark/Ninja, Breville, Fellow, All-Clad, Made In, Le Creuset, and more. In our list we often include buy buttons direct to the retailer for those of you who want to shop small (or at least smaller).
Do prices stay the same throughout the entire Prime Day sale?
Prices not only fluctuate throughout Prime Day, but Amazon also offers many flash deals (Limited time deal in red). We’ll do our best to keep this page updated throughout the sale’s four-day run, but if there’s a particular item you have your eye on, we recommend you use the Alexa for Shopping tool on Amazon to set a price alert so that you’ll be notified when it drops below a certain threshold.
How can I make the most of Amazon Prime Day?
Our shopping team recommends taking advantage of Prime Day deals in three different ways. First, stock up on everyday essentials that you use all the time, like cleaning and kitchen organization items. Sponges, soap, pantry staples, spices, trash bags—get ’em while they’re cheap!
The second editor-approved strategy is to price-check any big-ticket items you need, including coffee gear, countertop appliances like microwaves or blenders, and even major appliances like refrigerators or ranges. If you know an upgrade is needed imminently, act now so you can benefit from lower price tags. Prime Day is especially a good time to level up your kitchen gear because it falls ahead of the fall's busy cooking season—the year’s other biggest sale time is Black Friday, which is, of course, after Thanksgiving.
Last but not least, use Prime Day to buy gifts. Sure, we’re five months out from Christmas and Hanukkah, but think about all the birthdays, weddings, graduations, and other special events between now and then. (Also, I hear it’s never too early to start holiday shopping. Just think about how you can smugly tell all those last-minute shoppers that you’ve been done with your shopping since July!)
How can I keep track of all the best deals?

Can I return items I buy on Prime Day?
Yes. Amazon’s usual return policy applies. Items that are final sale are marked as such.
