129 Prime Day Deals on Gear We’ve Tested and Would Spend Our Own Money On
Amazon Prime Day is here once again. Amazon's annual Prime Day deals aims to entice us with an endless scroll of “discounts" (some real, many fake), hammering away with red slashes, big percentages off, and coupons you can only see after adding to cart.
While Prime Day deals aren't what they once were—its success has inspired a massive number of fake deals and attracted obscure brands—there are still some very significant discounts to be found. For the next four days, the WIRED Reviews team will be pooling our hundreds of years of collective expertise to find actual savings on products we have personally tested and approved. Let us absorb the neon signage and “buy now” buttons on your behalf and share the deals worth sharing. We’ll keep this list updated frequently for the duration of the sale, which runs from June 23 to June 26.
Updated Wednesday, June 24: We've searched for and added more great deals to the list, including some Dell monitors, an Alienware laptop, a Samsung TV, a Beatbot pool robot and more. We've also updated prices to the latest deals.

This is our very favorite MagSafe power bank. Wireless and MagSafe charging aren’t always the fastest or most efficient, but despite its bulk, this large-capacity bank can top off modern phones once (or maybe a little more than that) without overheating or taking forever. There’s a built-in kickstand and display, too. —Louryn Strampe
One of the best budget wireless chargers is even more affordable thanks to Prime Day. You can buy fancier, faster wireless chargers, but if you just want a simple option that’ll top off your phone, this is worth checking out. It’s also a good option for placing around your home, like in the kitchen or living room. It can deliver up to 10 watts, though you’ll need to supply your own wall adapter. —Louryn Strampe
Want something that can fast charge your phone, juice up your tablet, and even refill your laptop? This generous 25,000-mAh capacity can do it all, but stops shy of the carry-on air travel limit. The maximum output is 165 watts for two devices, but 100 watts for a single device. It has lovely rounded edges, a retractable, flat, 2.3-foot USB-C cable on the top, and a snazzy, durable, braided 1-foot USB-C cable that doubles as a carry loop. —Simon Hill
This remains one of my favorite Windows laptops, despite the recent price increases. But now, it's unexpectedly dropped to $835 for Prime Day, making it the best laptop Prime Day deal I've found so far. That's over a hundred bucks cheaper than the MacBook Air, for what it's worth. Price aside, though, my favorite feature is the 3:2 aspect ratio screen, which also has a faster 120-Hz refresh rate. It's absolutely gorgeous, and all the extra vertical screen space gives more room to work with. A new version just got announced with a more powerful Snapdragon X2 chip inside, but it’s considerably more expensive. —Luke Larsen
There's no cheap laptop quite like this one. Unlike so many Windows laptops around $500, the OmniBook 3 has excellent performance and battery life. And while the touchpad isn't the best, the specs alone make it the very best cheap laptop you can buy. —Luke Larsen
This gaming laptop has a big advantage over many others at this price. Yes, it's thick. And yes, the aesthetic isn't for everyone. But the display, build quality, keyboard, and touchpad are a solid step up over even some of my favorite budget gaming laptops. —Luke Larsen
