Warmer weather means more time outside, and when you're in the great outdoors, a fitness tracker or smartwatch helps track all of that activity. Whether you're headed out on a European vacation or have a list of summer hikes to tackle, an Apple Watch is one of our favorite ways to stay connected and track activity. And with Prime Day here again, we're hunting for deals on the popular smartwatch.

The best Prime Day iPad deals: Shop Apple tablets starting under $300 ahead of the price hike

iPads have everything you love in a MacBook, just in a more portable package, which makes them perfect for summer travel. They fit easily in a personal item or carry-on but still bring Apple's signature speedy performance.

Unfortunately, the entire iPad lineup just got some big price hikes. Apple made its tablets (and laptops) more expensive on June 25, citing soaring memory and storage costs because of AI data center demand. All models are at least $100 more expensive than before.

SEE ALSO: MacBooks and iPads just got more expensive. Lock in Prime Day Apple deals before it's too late.

On the bright side, Amazon isn't matching the Apple Store's newly higher iPad prices just yet. Better still, every model is on sale there for Prime Day this week. If you've been thinking about buying a new iPad, the right time to buy is right now, before Amazon adjusts its listings. It's last call for cheap iPads starting at just $299.

Read on for our full list of the best Prime Day iPad deals; we'll continue to update it through the end of the sale on June 26. If you're thinking of buying any other Apple products, be sure check out our separate guide to the best Prime Day Apple deals, too.

Our beloved iPad Air is the best tablet money can buy, and it's an even better value on sale. Amazon has the base model marked down to just $519 during Prime Day, which is a new record-low price. You save $80 on its current MSRP of $599. For comparison's sake, the Apple Store just bumped the same model to $749. (If it sells out on Amazon, look for it at Best Buy. The tech retailer was price-matching its Prime Day deal at the time of writing.)

This is an incredible tablet, as powerful as a laptop. So while you can do the tablet basics — streaming, internet browsing, reading, and gaming — it can handle more. For creatives, that means graphic design, illustration, and photo and video editing.

The best Prime Day deals on DJI creator tools — we found deals on wireless mics, drones, and cameras

We're on Day 3 of Amazon Prime Day, and if you've had your eye on any DJI gear, now's the time to click "add to cart."

In case you haven't heard, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) officially added foreign-produced drones and uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) to its national security Covered List on December 22, 2025. This means DJI isn't allowed to import or sell any new drone models moving forward (so a future Mavic 5 Pro is out). That also means you can only buy DJI drones at Amazon from third-party sellers here in the United States, which is a bummer.

SEE ALSO: 50+ of the best Prime Day tech deals, personally vetted by a tech editor on a budget

The good news? Anything that already secured FCC approval before the cutoff — like the Mavic 4 Pro, Mini 5 Pro, Air 3S, and Neo 2 — is legal to buy, own, and fly. So, if you want to grab a beginner-friendly drone or stock up on discounted backup batteries, action cams, and creator gear, Prime Day is likely your best window to get them on sale before the inventory dries up.

Many of the DJI products in this guide — like the DJI Mini Mini, the DJI Mic 3, the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, and the DJI Osmo 7P Gimbal — have been personally tested and recommended by Mashable product reviewers, so we can vouch for them.

Best Prime Day DJI drone deal DJI Mini 3 $269 at Amazon
$419 Save $150   Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Best Buy Why we like it

Right now, you can get the DJI Mini 3 for $269, down from $419. That's a 36% discount or a $150 savings. It's also a jump from where we saw it earlier this week, if you can believe it (it was $381). This is the lowest price we've tracked on this model to date.

The DJI Mini 3 is a level up from the DJI Mini 4K, which is a more budget-friendly pick for entry-level fliers (and at just $209, a steal). It weighs less than 249g, features 4K HDR video with True Vertical Shooting (ideal for photographers or real estate agents), and has a 38-minute max flight time.

The DJI Osmo Action 4 Essential Combo includes an extension rod, three batteries (two more than the Standard Combo), and a multifunctional battery case, and it's currently on sale for $169 — a new record-low price.

The camera itself features a 1/1.3-inch sensor for shooting in low-light conditions, as well as 4K video capabilities at up to 120fps with a 155-degree ultra-wide field of view. It offers up to 150 minutes of battery life and it works in temperatures as low as -20°C. It's even waterproof to depths of 18m, making it an ideal choice for vlogging your outdoor adventures.

The DJI Mic 3 is on sale for $219, down from $329. This is another all-time low price for a Mashable-tested wireless microphone kit.

The Mic 3 is a compact wireless microphone system designed for creators, podcasters, and interviewers who need quality audio while on the go. It supports up to four transmitters, features adaptive gain control and selectable noise cancellation, and uses dual-band transmission for clear audio in busy environments. You'll get up to 28 hours of battery life with the charging case, so it's great for long hours of recording. Not to mention, it has compatibility with a huge range of DJI devices.

The DJI Power 1000 V2 is a Mashable fave and it's currently on sale for $364, down from $449.99. That's a 19% discount or $85.99 savings.

It has a 1,024Wh battery capacity and a 2,600W stable output, which is plenty of juice to run appliances like electric cookers, heaters, and your refrigerator. And according to our contributor, Lauren Allain, this version has double the AC ports and it charges from 0 to 100 percent just in 56 minutes when plugged into a wall outlet.

I test e-readers — Ive found the best-ever Kindle deals to shop on Prime Day

The best Prime Day Kindle deals: Best Kindle Deal Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition $144.99 (Save $55) Get Deal Best Colorsoft Deal Amazon Kindle Colorsoft $159.99 (Save $90) Get Deal Best Scribe Deal Amazon Kindle Scribe (32GB) $379.99 (Save $120) Get Deal Best Kids Kindle Deal Kindle Colorsoft Kids $179.99 (Save $90) Get Deal

Testing Kindles and e-readers is my job, but it's also my passion. I use my Kindle Paperwhite every day — unless I'm testing a new e-reader — and it's accompanied me on many a summer adventure. So, while I spend a lot of time convincing Mashable readers to buy my favorite e-readers, I also track the best times to buy one.

Amazon Prime Day 2026 is now in full swing, and Kindle deals are back in a big way. Several models have dropped to record-low prices, and the newer Kindle Scribes are finally seeing discounts, too.

SEE ALSO: 50+ of the best Prime Day tech deals, personally vetted by a tech editor on a budget

So TL;DR, if you're eyeing a Kindle, now is the time to buy. Here are the very best Kindle deals to shop during Prime Day.

Best Prime Day Kindle deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition $144.99 at Amazon
$199.99 Save $55   Get Deal Why we like it

My absolute favorite Prime Day Kindle deal is on the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. It's the e-reader that I use every day, and it just hit a new all-time low price of $144.99. That makes it cheaper than the Paperwhite at full price, but it also makes it the same price as the currently on sale Paperwhite without ads.

However, the Signature Edition is far more bang for your buck as it comes with twice the storage, an auto-adjusting front light, and wireless charging. It's an exceptional deal and the device's new lowest price ever.

Kids Kindles

How do Kindle prices compare to previous sales?

Having tracked prices on Kindles for years, I have a pretty good sense of how much Amazon's e-readers cost during a sale. So how are Kindle deals this Prime Day?

We tracked the prices on the Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite over the past four sales to predict this years prices. Credit: Mashable

The Kindle Paperwhite's lowest price ever is $124.99, which the device dropped to during Black Friday, Prime Big Deals Days, and of course, last year's Prime Day. This year it's back down to $124.99. The Signature Edition on the other hand reached a new low of $144.99, just $20 more for a boatload of extra features.

The deal I'm most disappointed in is on the basic Kindle, which previously dropped to $79.99. This Prime Day, it's $5 more for $84.99. New deals this Prime Day include the latest Kindle Scribe and Scribe Colorsoft, both getting their first price drops since being released.

Prime Day season is one of the best times of year to buy a TV on sale. Usually in July, Prime Day is here earlier than usual, running June 23 to 26. Maybe Amazon knew that the World Cup would make everyone realize they were in need of a new TV.

Leading up to Prime Day, the TV deals were hot as we saw savings over $1,000. Now that Amazon's flagship sale is officially underway, we're seeing even bigger discounts on already great deals. Not to mention, Amazon is running a stellar bundle on Frame TVs and the Echo 8.

So let's get into all the best TV deals to shop during Prime Day. Be sure to check back throughout the sale for updates and follow along with all other categories in Mashable's Prime Day hub.

Hisense finally launched its highly-awaited RGB TVs on June 2. While both the UR8 and UR9 RGB TVs are on sale at Best Buy, there's another 2026 Hisense TV with a much wilder discount: The 75-inch Hisense U7 Mini LED TV is just $999.99 exclusively for Prime members after a massive 50% price drop from its usual $1,999.99.

Just released in March, the Hisense U7 series has a pretty incredible lighting system for its price range. Its backlight benefits from full-array local dimming, which uses clusters of tiny LED bulbs that can fully turn themselves on or off for more precise contrast during any scene or livestream. Other impressive numbers include a peak brightness of 3,000 nits (great news for FIFA fans trying to watch a game during the daytime) and a native 165Hz refresh rate (great news for gamers on a budget).

Samsung's latest Frame TVs just got their first discount during Prime Day and if that wasn't enough, Amazon is sweetening the deal. The new Frame TVs come with Neo QLEDs, a Micro HDMI port, and that signature art display.

But during Prime Day, Amazon is offering an even bigger discount. The Frame Pro is $230 off, its first discount, bringing it down to $1,297.99. That's 15% savings, but there's more. You'll also get a free Echo Show 11 with your purchase if you add it to your cart from the promo page. That's a $219.99 value, totally free.

This deal is available on both the Frame TV Pro and regular Frame TV.

It's not Prime Day without record-low prices on Amazon's own gadgets. The 65-inch Ember Artline TV, which was just released at the end of April, got its biggest discount ever right before the Prime Day festivities kicked off. Now that we're in the trenches of the sale, Amazon has knocked an extra $100 off for select Prime members. Click on "Redeem" under the Prime Day logo to score the extra savings or enter the code FTVSAVE at checkout to get this model for only $799.99.

Think of the Ember Artline as Amazon's dupe of The Frame. It's designed to look like a painting on the wall, with a matte screen, an assortment of frame options, and a gallery of 2,000+ free works of art. Basically, if you have The Frame taste, but you're on a bit tighter budget, this is the deal for you.

The ongoing global RAM shortage has led many PC makers to raise their laptop prices this year. Even Apple's MacBooks are at risk of price bumps in the near future. Mercifully, Amazon's annual Prime Day sale is offering some sweet RAMageddon relief this week, slashing prices on select PCs through to the sale's end on June 26.

As Mashable's resident expert on all things laptops, I have to tell you that Amazon carries a much smaller selection of Windows laptops, gaming laptops, and Chromebooks than other major retailers — especially Best Buy, which happens to be running a competing Tech Fest sale this week. I've rounded up Amazon's most worth-it laptop deals below and made sure they aren't available cheaper elsewhere. But don't feel like you need to be loyal to Amazon just because Prime Day is hogging the spotlight right now.

I'll continue to update the following list with the best Prime Day laptop deals as the sale progresses, so check back often. You can also visit the Mashable shopping team's dedicated Prime Day 2026 hub for all the latest tech price drops from around the web.

Best Prime Day MacBook deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $949 at Amazon
$1,099 Save $150   Get Deal

Powered by the M5 chip, Apple's sleek MacBook Air is faster than any other Windows laptop at its price point (and even many that are way more expensive). Its overall build quality also smokes most of the competition: It comes equipped with a luxe haptic touchpad, a sharp Liquid Retina display, and 12MP webcam. The 13-inch base model usually costs $1,099 — an already-great deal in this day and age — but it's marked down to just $949 during Prime Day. If it sells out on Amazon, you can find the same discount at Best Buy.

We loved the Surface Laptop 7 back when it launched in 2024. While its CPU isn't the freshest anymore, it still impresses as a whole: It features a 23-hour battery life, a microSDXC card slot, and a 2.5K touchscreen that's brighter and smoother than a MacBook Air's display.

Amazon's amazing Prime Day deal on this 15-inch model comes just a week after Microsoft announced the very similar Surface Laptop 8 (which isn't on sale just yet). It's currently listed for just $1,229.99 — a whopping 44% off its regular retail price of $2,099.99. I wouldn't be surprised if this deal disappears long before Prime Day ends, considering the exact same model sold out at Best Buy after dropping to $1,699.99 there.

I haven't tried this 16-inch budget gaming laptop, but our friends over at CNET rated it a solid 7.7/10, writing that it "provides enough 3D graphics oomph for 1080p/1200p gaming." (Mashable and CNET are both owned by Ziff Davis.) It features four-zone RGB keyboard backlighting and a big, buttery 180Hz display. Plus, it's kitted out with plenty of RAM and storage — and the latter is easily upgradable. It usually retails for $1,399.99, but it's on sale for just $1,099.99 this Prime Day. That's a record-low price that last appeared on Black Friday 2025.

Summer 2026 is in full swing now. Barbecues, camping trips, vacation, and avoiding mosquitoes are all on the agenda. But something else big happens every summer — Amazon Prime Day. This year, Amazon is hosting the annual sale earlier than ever, running June 23 to 26. Things are well and truly underway.

There are some excellent deals on portable power stations, from tiny models that keep your phone charged up to absolute beasts that can keep your refrigerator cooling for days. Having reviewed dozens of power stations, these are the models I would consider buying during Prime Day.

Read Mashable's full review of the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2.

If you're looking to buy your first portable power station, the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 is an excellent all-around model. It offers a respectable 1,024Wh capacity, which is a bit like a Goldilocks amount. That's a good amount of power for a weekend away, but it doesn't go overboard. It's also easy to transport, coming in at under 25 pounds. It has excellent recharging ability, going from dead to 100% power in under 50 minutes. It's a summer essential for me, and it's also excellent during a power outage.

If you don't need heaps of power, consider the Bluetti Elite 10, one of my favorite small portable power stations. It comes with 128Wh of power, which is enough to keep your phone, earbuds, or Kindle charged up during a camping trip or when the power goes out. Plus, the green colorway option is undeniably special.

In addition to its small size, the Bluetti Elite 10 is lightweight and great for people to carry from room to room during a power outage. On Prime Day, it's on sale at Amazon for $107.

The Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra has a unique feature when it comes to portable power stations — it's resistant to water and dust. As you can imagine, it's not wise to add water into the mix with most portable power stations, but the Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra has an IP 65 rating and a level nine seismic shockproofing. All of that means this model is ideal if you'll be in harsh conditions. Bring this model camping in the rain or take it to the job site. It's also ideal if you'll be working in a shed with wood shavings.

The Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra is currently $899 at Amazon, its lowest ever price.

A huge benefit to choosing a portable power station is its ability to recharge via sunlight. Of course, in order to do that, you'll need a solar panel. The EcoFlow Delta 3 with a 220W solar panel is a great deal to hop on. For $669, down from the normal price of $999, you get the EcoFlow Delta 3 and a 220W solar panel for recharging.

The EcoFlow Delta 3 itself comes with 1,024Wh with an impressive 3,600W surge. EcoFlow states the 220W solar panel can recharge the Delta 3 back to 100% in about six hours. Take the power station and solar panel camping this summer and you might be in for unlimited power.

You might know DJI better for their leading drone technology, but the tech brand makes highly-rated power stations too. This model, the DJI Power 1000, is equipped with 1,024Wh plus a selection of outputs or multiple device charging, including various USB ports and AC outputs. The power station itself fully recharges in just 1.35 hours, making it highly practical for a continuous power supply.

Should you get a robot vacuum on Prime Day? I test them for a living and found all-time best deals.

The best Prime Day robot vacuum deals at a glance: Best robot vacuum on sale overall Dreame L60 Ultra FE $699.99 (save $300) Get Deal Best mid-range robot vacuum deal Eufy C28 $449.99 (save $350) Get Deal Best budget robot vacuum deal Roborock Q10 S5+ $264.99 (save $285) Get Deal

Don't ask ChatGPT which robot vacuum you should buy on Prime Day — ask the person who's tested nearly 40 robot vacuums in their own home. Most of the best robot vacuums of the past few years, including new 2026 models, are on sale for Prime Day, which runs until June 26. Since the event has officially kicked off, I found a handful of worthwhile robot vacuums on sale to buy right now.

That doesn't just refer to the models with the biggest discounts. I've further whittled down the list to the robot vacuums with the best ratio of cleaning specs and smart features compared to their sale price. These really are the best bang for your buck.

For example, the Roborock Saros 10R that I loved last year is on sale for $884.99 (over $700 off), which is a new record low. That sounds like a steal until I remind you that you can get significantly more suction power for $699.99 with the Dreame L60 Ultra FE. The self-emptying Shark Navigator for $249.99 sounds great until you realize that just $15 more can get you mopping and small obstacle avoidance with the Roborock Q10 S5+. (If you're shopping for a really high-end robot vacuum, I recommend the Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete, which is now $355 off, or the Narwal Flow 2, which is $450 off.)

So, here are the Prime Day deals on robot vacuums that are worth your time so far:

This model was just released at the end of April 2026, and its 30,000 Pa suction power isn't too far off from the 35,000 Pa of the most powerful Dreame robot vacuum. With accurate AI obstacle avoidance and heated self-washing mopping pads thrown in, this is a really solid vacuum for less than $800.

I can personally attest to the L60 Ultra FE's cleaning power for the price — it's currently sitting in my living room. I'm a sucker for the corner mopping of a spinning mopping pad, which still squeezes into 90-degree angles better than roller mop robot vacuums that can slide out to clean edges. This Dreame model has done a commendable job with cat litter, crumbs under the kitchen counter, and cat scratcher flecks stuck in the rug.

The best live Prime Day speaker deals: Shop Sony, Sonos, JBL, and more top picks

The best Prime Day speaker deals at a glance: Best overall Sony ULT Field 3 $137.75 (save $72.24) Get Deal Runner-up Marshall Emberton III $99.99 (save $80) Get Deal Best budget pick Anker Soundcore Select 4 Go $19.99 (save $15) Get Deal

If you plan on hitting the beach, hosting friends, or heading out on a camping trip this summer, having a quality speaker in tow is a good idea. And lucky for you, plenty of fantastic options are on sale to kick off the season, thanks to Amazon Prime Day.

Prime Day is still going strong through June 26, and Amazon's deals on speakers show no signs of slowing down. Top brands like Sony, Sonos, and JBL saw solid discounts in the lead up to the big event, but now that Prime Day is actually here, prices have dropped even further for some of our top picks. The ULT Field line of Sony speakers is seeing record-low prices, as are some of our niche favorites like the Marshall Emberton III, Anker Soundcore Select 4 Go, and Ultimate Ears Miniroll.

We'll be tracking the best Bluetooth speaker deals throughout Prime Day and updating this page with the absolute best pricing. If nothing catches your eye quite yet, check back for any new deals that may drop.

Looking for deals on other tech? Check out Mashable's Prime day hub for all of the latest and greatest deals across the board.

Our favorite Bluetooth speaker for bass lovers, the Sony ULT Field 3 just hit a new best price ever for Prime Day 2026. Surprisingly powerful, it checks all the right boxes for a Bluetooth speaker: it's waterproof, dustproof, shockproof, and rustproof, and has excellent audio quality, impressive battery life, and hefty bass you can feel bump through your whole body.

Mashable's Miller Kern writes, "The speaker is great for punching up your music and bringing out little details you might miss on another speaker." Typically $209.99, it's dropped all the way down to $137.75.

If you like your tech to look as stylish as it performs, the Marshall Emberton III is another one of our top picks for a Bluetooth speaker. "Not only does this premium Bluetooth speaker have Marshall's iconic vintage look, but it's also a solid-sounding speaker for its price point," Mashable's reviewer writes. It produces clear and well-rounded sound with a slightly bass-heavy mix right out of the box. We wish there was a custom equalizer, but the companion app does have presets that you can use to personalize your sound. The list price is a bit steep for what you get, but now that it's down to a record-low $99.99, we highly recommend it.

Our favorite speaker under $50 has dropped below $20 for Prime Day. The Soundcore Select 4 Go is a tiny powerhouse that's as portable as it is tough. It's dust- and waterproof, can easily be attached to a backpack or beach bag, packs 20 hours of playtime, and customizable through an in-app 9-band EQ or select presets. As Mashable's reviewer puts it, "If you don’t need expansive customization, or even crystal-clear sound, then go with what’s considered the best portable speaker deal under $25 and $50." Or in this case, under $20.

"If there's ever been a phone to make you ditch Apple, this is it." That's what Mashable's Timothy Beck Werth said in his Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra review. The phone even earned a Mashable Choice Award. With that kind of praise, of course we're excited to see it get a price cut at Amazon Prime Day.

The unlocked, 512GB model in all colorways is currently on sale for $1,119.99 (beating the previous lowest-ever price of $1,199.99). If you've been looking for a phone upgrade, this is quite an awesome deal to jump on. Werth also adds in the review, "for dedicated Android users — or anyone who loves big phones and hates Liquid Glass — the S26 Ultra is worth the investment."

It features a 49-inch 1000R curved screen with a Dual QHD ultra-wide resolution, a 240Hz refresh rate, and a 1ms response time to prevent on-screen stuttering or frame lag.

Looking for a durable wearable to take on your many adventures this summer? The Galaxy Watch Ultra is the ultimate smartwatch upgrade to help you out. Amazon's knocked over $200 off its price tag, bringing it down from $649.99 to $434.99.

Alongside a variety of fitness features and health and sleep tracking features, our hands-on review from Kimberly Gedeon highlights that it's "designed for rugged adventurers." It can "handle temperatures between -4 and 131 degrees Fahrenheit, and it can tolerate deep-sea diving and other challenging environments." If it seems like the kind of fit for your lifestyle, this is an excellent time to scoop it up.

This Samsung 55-Inch Class S90F Smart TV is sitting on our list of the best TV deals during Prime Day, and for very good reason, as it's at its lowest-ever price at the retailer.

With a 55-Inch screen size, 4K resolution, and an OLED display, this Samsung TV is well worth upgrading to, especially while it's still on sale. You can even get one month of Xbox Game Pass with your purchase, which is a nice little bonus.

The four-day sale kicked off with a wide selection of goodies to claim, including a bundle with the actual console itself.

Otherwise, the real savings you'll find right now are on games and accessories.

While technically not a "deal" in the sense that you'll save money for Prime Day, this bundle is a good way to pick up both a Nintendo Switch 2 and the game of your choice out of a decent selection. You get the console itself, Joy-Con controllers, and games like Pokémon Pokopia, Mario Kart World, and Donkey Kong Bananza with the bundle, so you can get started playing right away. With a 7.9-inch LCD touch screen, three play modes, and backward compatibility with most Nintendo Switch titles, it's well worth picking up, especially given the price hike coming in September.

The best PlayStation deals to grab during Prime Day — NBA 2K26 down to an all-time low price

4 hours 54 min ago

Amazon’s latest Prime Day sale is going strong, steadily building up to several days of huge deals on appliances, gadgets, and of course, offers on PS5 games, accessories, consoles, and more.

Amazon and third-party sellers have been dropping plenty of deals to save you cash for the duration of the event. The key thing to keep in mind when it comes to shopping for PlayStation is that there can be a lot of price drops on off-brand products to sift through. Luckily, Mashable has done that on your behalf — and will keep doing so throughout the sale.

Whether you're shopping for a new DualSense controller, a discounted PlayStation 5 game, or even a PS5 console bundle when a rare price drop appears, Mashable has scoured the site and cherry-picked the best deals live right now.

NBA 2K26 has already had a massive price drop ahead of Prime Day — this is easily one of the best game deals live right now. Originally launched at $69.99, the new and sealed Standard Edition is now available for just $19.93, taking over $50 off the list price less than a year after release. That's its lowest-ever price, according to Camelcamelcamel.

NBA 2K26 brings back MyCAREER, MyTEAM, MyNBA, The W, and Play Now, with ProPLAY technology used to translate real NBA footage into more realistic movement, dribbling, crossovers, and on-court action.

As expected with annualized sports games, the next in the series is expected to hit consoles later this year. If you’ve not had the chance to play NBA 2K26 yet, now is the perfect time to catch up while we wait for news on the next full-price installment.

The best Prime Day Fitbit deals are live now — Shop the Charge 6, Inspire 3, and more

Amazon's Prime Day sale is now in full swing and is set to end on June 26. That's not to say you have to rush to get your bargains but you don't want to miss out as deals go out of stock, something that often happens during these major shopping events.

If you're looking to improve your overall fitness and set personal goals (while also saving a few dollars), we recommend checking out the Prime Day deals on Fitbits right now. Some of the discounted Fitbits are currently available at all-time low prices, including the Charge 6.

Here are the best Prime Day Fitbit deals you can shop right now:

Best deal overall Fitbit Charge 6 $85.45 at Amazon
$159.95 Save $74.50   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

The Fitbit Charge 6 isn't the newest Fitbit on the market, but it still has (almost) everything you'd need in a smart wearable. (I say almost because the Fitbit Charge 6 doesn't have an altimeter, but if you're not a trail runner, this probably isn't a deal breaker.)

The Charge 6 tracks your calories, steps, sleep, heart rate, and more. It also has built-in GPS, 40+ exercise modes, a seven-day battery life, and includes a three-month Google Health Premium (formerly Fitbit Premium) membership. Once the three months are up, you'll need to either cancel or renew for $9.99 per month or $99.99 annually.

Right now, you can get the Fitbit Charge 6 for $84.45 at Amazon. This is the lowest price we've tracked on this model since its release in 2023.

Runner-up deal Opens in a new window Credit: Fitbit Fitbit Versa 4 $124.45

If you're willing to spend a little bit more, the Fitbit Versa 4 is on sale for $124.45. This isn't the lowest price we've seen (it was $104.96 in April 2024), but it's still a pretty good deal.

Unlike the Charge 6, the Versa 4 has an altimeter and Bluetooth wrist calling. So, if you're looking for a wearable that acts more like a smartwatch, the Versa 4 might be the better buy. That said, it doesn't have the more "serious" health sensor that the Charge 6 does (e.g., ECG and EDA).

The Versa 4 also comes with three months of Google Health Premium.

Best budget deal Fitbit Inspire 3 $66.45 at Amazon
$99.95 Save $33.50   Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Walmart Why we like it

If you're just looking for something that's affordable and efficient, the Fitbit Inspire 3 is your best option at $66.45.

It's a no-frills fitness tracker that'll give you the basic features you need to stay on top of your health. It can track your heart rate, steps, and stress levels. (It also offers menstrual health tracking, which is nice.)

You'll also get 10 full days of battery life and, like the other models mentioned above, three free months of Google Health Premium.

I test vacuums professionally ad found the 10+ best live deals on Prime Day

4 hours 57 min ago
The best deals on vacuums on Prime Day: Best self-emptying cordless vacuum deal Shark PowerDetect Speed — Luxe Collection $399.99 (save $100 at SharkNinja) Get Deal Best Dyson vacuum deal Dyson V12 Detect Slim $479.99 (save $250 at Dyson) Get Deal Best budget robot vacuum deal Eufy C28 $599.99 at Eufy (save $300 at Amazon) Get Deal Best robot vacuum on sale overall Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete $1,344.99 (save $355 at Amazon) Get Deal

As someone who tests new vacuums every month, I could easily make a case for why robot vacuums are better or why cordless vacuums are better. If you're having trouble deciding, my ultimate advice is always just to get both — I promise there are budget-friendly ways to do so, especially when so many good vacuums are on sale for Prime Day.

Note: Items that are struck through are either out of stock or no longer discounted. We're actively tracking inventory and updating prices throughout the day.

Should I get a robot vacuum or stick vacuum?

A robot vacuum is the way to go if you know, deep down, that the only way your home will be vacuumed every day is if a robot does it. A cordless vacuum is the way to go if you're picky about cleanliness and find the chore to be cathartic rather than tedious. If you feel passionately about one side, there are plenty of deals on splurge-worthy vacuums that I've tested like the Dyson V15 Detect Extra or Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete.

But most people can probably see themselves wanting access to both types of vacuums, depending on how busy their day is. In that case, I'd recommend splitting your vacuum budget. Instead of spending $700 to $1,000 on one really nice vacuum, you could buy a budget-friendly stick vacuum like the $249.99 Shark Clean & Empty and a budget-friendly robot vacuum like the $349.99 Dreame D30 Ultra CE. Both are still incredibly powerful for their price, and there will be a ton of mix-and-match options as more vacuum deals pop up through the end of Prime Day on June 26.

Best cordless vacuum deal Opens in a new window Credit: Shark Shark PowerDetect Speed — Luxe Collection $399.99 at SharkNinja

For years, we've been conditioned to shove ugly vacuums into closets when not in use — or let the plasticky gray or black designs sit out in the living space, regardless of how badly they clash with our decor. That changed when Shark released its Luxe Collection at the beginning of June. Its powerful self-emptying PowerDetect Speed stick vacuum now comes in four chic earth tones: Oatstone, Harbor Slate, Walnut, and Sagewood. They're all $100 off at SharkNinja.

Not only are these Shark PowerDetect Speed models the prettiest vacuums I've ever seen, but the Shark PowerDetect Speed is the best cordless vacuum for pet hair on carpet that I've ever tested. The suction power is palpable in your hand, but it's not so intense that the vacuum gets jammed on carpet. All debris is automatically emptied into the storage dock each time you hang it up, so your next cleaning session will always start with a clean slate. You'll easily be able to see just how much gunk was sucked up from each room, specifically.

I tested and loved the Eufy C28 when it came out in February 2026. And I have a feeling it'll remain one of my most recommended robot vacuum and mop combos for the next year or so.

The Eufy C28 is probably the most affordable roller mop robot vacuum you'll find, and easily the most heavy-duty mopping robot vacuum out there this season. The fluffy roller spans the entire bottom of the vacuum and rinses itself with fresh water as it's mopping, making it a far more reliable choice for soaking up large liquid spills (without smearing them around) than other cheap mopping robot vacuums. Its self-emptying dock also washes and dries the mop after each cleaning, so it's easier to forgive how painfully loud it is.

Away luggage is stylish, durable, and notoriously expensive. So, we were thrilled to see a 20% price drop on some Amazon-exclusive colorways like palm green and sky blue. The 26-inch medium checked suitcase features a sturdy hardshell, 360-degree spinner wheels, enough space for up to two weeks of travel, a patented dual-buckle compression panel, a water-resistant drawstring laundry bag, and a TSA-accepted combination lock.

With heat waves across time zones and unpredictable transportation situations, you never know when a personal fan might come in handy — on a packed Tube ride, on a crowded flight, or in an Airbnb without AC. I grabbed this tiny treasure last spring before heading abroad and can't recommend it enough. It's already pretty cheap on a regular day, but it's just $11.70 on Prime Day.

The Sony WH-1000XM6 are some of our favorite noise-cancelling headphones for flying. They offer excellent ANC, even better sound quality, and the convenience of folding ear cups for travel. Every color option is discounted to $378 (their lowest price ever), but I personally love the sand pink.

These are Sidney Razs content essentials after nearly 20 years as a creator

6 hours 35 min ago

Sidney Raskind may have many, many life hack trials under his belt, but he only keeps one bag for all his content creation essentials.

Known online as Sidney Raz, the 30-something-year-old creator made the phrase, "Here's something I wish I knew before I was in my 30s" unmistakably his own, testing out hacks on everything from how to properly extend sun visors in cars to how to turn an Allen key. His short videos blew up on TikTok in 2021, and he's been a full-time content creator for nearly five years.

Though he may be newer to knowing how to properly open mail, he's been in content creation for almost 20 years, working both in front of and behind the camera. All this to say, he knows his way around a good kit for producing content. We caught up with him at VidCon 2026 to learn about his favorites.

iPhone 17 Pro

Raskind told us that one of the best parts of modern content creation is that the barrier to entry when it comes to gear is much lower than it used to be: "You can do everything on a phone, and you can get a refurbished one for hella cheap." He personally uses an orange iPhone 17 Pro.

"Good sound quality enhances everything," Raskind tells Mashable. That's why the content creator carries around not one, but two kinds of microphones: the Rode Mic Go and the Rode Wireless Pro.

Raskind gave Mashable a full demonstration of this ultra-portable tripod. "That is a tripod you can set up anywhere!" he said, pulling the card-shaped metal device out of his pocket.

"Oh he's lying, it doesn't work, it doesn't work," he quipped as he unfolded it. "Yes, it does!" he proclaimed triumphantly as he set his phone up, leaving it standing on its own, on the now unfolded and functional tripod. (And it's on sale for Prime Day).

Raskind came into Mashable's VidCon booth with this weather-proof bag that contains all his essentials for content creation. "I have a panel coming up tomorrow that's all about my one bag," he told us.

Hurdle hints and answers for June 26, 2026

7 hours 6 min ago

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.

There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.

An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.
