The Best Amazon Prime Day Deals 2022 for the Home, According to AD Editors

And if caffeine is less your thing, there is a ton of kitchen goodness left to go around. There are dozens of Instant Pot deals–whether you’re looking for an air fryer or a pressure cooker–and classic cookware from Le Creuset is also deeply discounted at the moment. But perhaps the best of the best deals in kitchen appliances come from Zojirushi and Vitamix. Scroll for more scores.

Best Amazon Prime Day deals: Personal Tech

When else are you going to see deals on hands-free Apple AirPods, Bluetooth smart speakers, and OLED smart TVs, as well as home security and Amazon Alexa–assisted speakers?

Best Amazon Prime Day Deals: Smart Home & Security

Join the 21st century this Prime Day with some top of the line home tech. Several of our perennial favorites, like the Google Nest thermostat and the wi-fi enabled August Smart Lock, are marked down for the big day—no coupon required. We also highly recommend checking out the Prime Day TV deals if you’re making big ticket purchases in that category (Samsung Frames are a popular choice amongst Clever home tour subjects), or for any streaming devices.

Best Amazon Prime Day deals: Vacuums

Vacuuming doesn’t have to suck (metaphorically, that is). We’re excited to see that more than a few reliable cleaners we’ve tested—like Terri’s favorite Shark robot vacuum designed for hardwood floors and the iRobot Roomba 692 that was one of the most purchased products by Clever readers last year—are on sale during the 2022 Prime Day bonanza. If you’re casually in the market for a vacuum, keep scrolling! But if you’re in dire need of a deep clean, we recommend checking out our roundup dedicated to the many Prime Day sales on vacuum cleaners running at Amazon, Target, Dyson, and more retailers as we speak.

When is Amazon Prime Day?

Technically, the two-day sales extravaganza started early this morning at 12 a.m. PST and will run through 11:59 p.m. PST on Wednesday, July 13. That said, the best early Prime Day deals have been rolling in for the past few days and more will be added through out the next 48 hours. More on that below! 

How does Prime Day work?

A Prime membership is required to take advantage of the deals. Luckily, it doesn’t take much to become an Amazon Prime member. They offer a 30-day free trial for newbies, and after that it’s $14.99 per month to take advantage of their blazing fast shipping, Prime Video, and all the other benefits the mega retailer offers. And a note for book on tape nerds, an Audible membership is sold separately. 

Now, on to the deals. Some last the full 48 hours, others are what they call “lightning deals” and don’t last more than a few hours. 

We recommend a few things: 

1. Pace yourself. Like we said, it’s a marathon, not a sprint!
2. Keep track of items you’ve got your eye on. You can set up deal alerts on Amazon by adding faves to your cart and clicking “save for later.”
3. Cross-reference where you can find the lowest price (keep reading for more on that, too).

Are any other retailers offering discounts during Amazon Prime Day? 

Amazon isn’t the only retailer hosting a sales event during the next few days. It‘s like Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Labor Day all rolled into one. So far, Target, Nordstrom, Sur La Table, Wayfair, Home Depot, Best Buy, West Elm, and Walmart have all announced their deal days. Last year we saw tons more brands joining the Prime Day party throughout the course of the event–and we were delighted to see smaller businesses like one of our bedding faves, Brooklinen, also joining in with 15% off sitewide.
