9 Early Prime Day Deals On Tested Products
Everybody loves an early Prime Day deal, but shopping for them can be a little more confusing. Our team of appliance experts have tested the best vacuums for pet hair, blenders, coffee makers and more.
I test these products for a living and I love saving a few dollars, so this is the perfect time to put my expertise to good use. I took our top, tried-and-tested appliances across the board and searched for them on Amazon. Luckily, most of them have incredible discounts which are already live on Amazon's daily deals.
We've already taken these products to our test kitchen where we put them through their paces on a series of rigorous tests to replicate the home environment. All of the products in this guide were deemed to be exceptional by our team of experts.

9 Early Prime Day Deals On Tested Products
Best vacuum on the market
1. Dyson V15 Detect
Best vacuum on the market
Dust bin capacity: 0.2gal | Weight: 6.8lb | Max dB: Not disclosed | Battery life: Up to 70 minutes | Warranty: 2 years
Green Laser dust detection on Fluffy brush roll illuminates dust particles invisible to the eye
Piezo sensor and LCD screen shows the size and number of dust particles collected in real-time
New anti-tangle hair screw keeps pet hair from getting stuck
Incredible suction
Versatile attachments
Green laser only shows dust on hard floors, harder to see in bright daylight
Must hold trigger for continual operation
The only drawback of Dyson vacuums is the price. In fact, it's one of the few things which we could fault about the V15 when we tested it, but in the Prime Day sales, there's $150 off the price: the V15 is now just over $600 and worth every penny.
This is the best vacuum cleaner that we've ever tested. It's at the top of our buying guide for countless reasons, starting with the dust-hunting feature and green laser, which help you to vacuum dust before you can even see it. These features sound like gimmicks, but when our experts took this vacuum for a spin they were blown away by its performance. It was effective and automatically adjusted to the surfaces which we tested it on. The anti-tangle brush bar is brilliant for stopping unpleasant hair tangles and the bin is mess-free and easy to empty too. We can't think of anything that makes us want to vacuum more.

Best grill
2. Weber Spirit II E-310 Gas Grill
Best grill on the market
Cook surface: 660 sq-in | Dimensions: 29 x 59 x 47 in | Fuel type: Gas | Best for: Grilling meats and vegetables
Easy to set up
Easy to use
Best burgers on test
Best chicken on test
Reasonable price
Small side rack for propane
Wide grills for thin-sliced foods
Plastic control knobs
If you can get your hands on the Spirit II E-310 you should. If you can grab it for a discount, even better. With a cool 11% knocked off the price (it was $640 and is now $569), you can't go wrong. Alex, our grill expert, said that 'the whole test team agreed that the burgers it made were the best'. It chars perfectly whilst keeping all of the moisture in your food. It's big enough for the perfect family barbecue and is easy to set up and use. We thought the price was reasonable before, so knocking off $80 makes this Weber Grill a steal.

Instant Vortex Plus
3. Instant Vortex Plus 6-in 1 Air Fryer with ClearCook and OdorErase
The best air fryer on the market
Dimensions: 17.1 x 15 x 13.9 inches | Capacity: 6-quart | Settings: Air fry, roast, broil, bake, reheat, and dehydrate | Cleaning: Nonstick tray and basket, dishwasher-safe insert | Temperature range: 95-400°F | RRP: $169.99/ £149.99
Quiet and odor-free
Even cooking at all temperatures
Innovative viewing panel in basket
Crisped up fries perfectly
Pre-heat and reminder to turn included
Hand-clean only
I'm a firm believer that every kitchen needs an air fryer, whether it's for speed, space, or saving a little money. If you're going to buy one, I'd always choose the Instant Vortex Plus. It's whisper quiet, compared to other models, and odor-free, so you don't need to worry about what you cook. When we tested it on asparagus, chips, nuggets, bacon and fish sticks, it perfectly and evenly cooked every single dish. We loved the viewing panel which let us check on our food without losing all the heat in the air fryer. This is normally $170, but you can buy an Instant Pot for $130 in Prime Day sales. If it wasn't tempting already, it just became $40 more enticing.

Best bullet blender
4. NutriBullet Pro 900 Series Blender
Best bullet blender on the market
Capacity: 32 oz. | Pitcher: Plastic | Dimensions: 12.01 x 7.72 x 15.94 inches | Power: 900W | RRP: $119.99/ £90
Makes creamy shakes and smoothies
Very easy controls
Perfect for taking on the go
Not suitable for large servings
NultriBullet's iconic blenders are a kitchen staple. I might be biased, because I am obsessed with mine, but it's a well-founded adoration. The smoothies and shakes which I make in my blender are creamy, smooth, and utterly faultless. We've taken one to our test kitchen and it tore greens, seed,s and fibers into nothing. It's really easy and intuitive to use and there's minimal washing up needed too. NutriBullet give you a handle to slot around the bullet so you can take your blends on the go. The NutriBullet 900 currently reduced from $100 to $70, so shake into action, because it's worth double.

Best coffee machine on the market
5. Philips 3200 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine
Best coffee maker on the market
Coffee type: Espresso, Coffee, Hot Water, Cappuccino, Latte and Americanox | Dimensions: 9.6"W x 17"D x 14.6"H | Pressure: 15 bar | Warranty: 2- years | RRP: $799.99
Easy to clean
Fully automatic
Good size
Brilliant milk frother
Noisy
If you're looking for a coffee maker, look no further. The Philips 3200 Series is everything you need and more. We were particularly impressed with its milk frothing capabilities; it made some of the best lattes that our expert tester, Jaclyn, ever tried. It's fully automatic, so takes almost no effort to use and, when you're done, it's even easier to clean. If you're short on countertop space, this is relatively compact, so you won't need to make much room for it either. Now that the Philips 3200 is reduced by $200 in the Prime Day sales, we think you should definitely get clearing your countertops.

Best value food processor
6. NutriBullet NBP50100 7-Cup Food Processor
The best value food processor
Power: 450W | Capacity: 7 cups | Programs: Low, High, Pulse | Cleaning: Dishwasher-safe | RRP: $119.99
In-bowl storage
Dishwasher-safe design
Comes with a spiralizer attachment
Food opening is quite small
Food processors are vital to lots of delicious culinary treats, so you'll need one in your kitchen. However, they can be big and noisy: not this one. In fact, the vast range of accessories, lightweight feel, and in-bowl storage is a dream to use and pack away. The do-it-all attachments include a dough hook, a chopping blade, two reversible slicing and shredding discs (one thick, one thin), and a spiralizing insert, which our tester Camryn was particularly impressed with. Our expert tester Camryn was really impressed and recommends it as 'an ideal everyday food processor for any household'. A narrow runner up, it's already amazing value; it was $120, but is now $90 on Amazon, so you'll want to get shopping.

Best multi cooker on the market
7. Instant Pot Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid
The best Instant Pot
Dimensions: 13.4 x 15.4 x 15.5 inches | Capacity: 6.5 qt | Presets: 13 | Cooking modes: Pressure Cook, Sauté, Steam, Slow Cook, Sous Vide, Yogurt, Warm, Air Fry, Roast, Broil, Bake, Dehydrate, Proofing

Instant Pot’s top-of-the-range model
Simple settings
Easy one-pot cooking
Cooking pot isn’t non-stick
Everybody loves an appliance that can do it all and our expert tester, Helen, said that this was top-notch. It's the best one you can get from Instant, because it uses a single lid, halving how much room it'll take to store. Helen was grateful for the automated pressure release, which takes any stress off you when pressure cooking. She tested the range of functiont o make curry, mash, roast a chicken, and made mac and cheese. The simple settings were easy to use and when it came to washing up, Helen was overjoyed that she'd done all her cooking in one pot, so didn't have lots of pans to clear away. Normally, this Instant Pot is $230, but in Prime Day sales is $194. It's' a saving you won't want to miss.

Best milk frother on the market
8. Smeg Milk Frother
Best milk frother on the market
Dimensions: 9 7/8 x 7 1/4 x 5 5/8 inches | Weight: 7 lbs | Power cord length: 39 inches | Capacity: 20 0z | Sound: 75 dBA
Speedy frothing
Hot and cold settings
Good with plant based milks
Really quiet
Expensive
Quite a large footprint
If you don't already have a milk frother, you might not miss one. However, once you own one, it's life changing. This is my personal recommendation, time and time again. Smeg's effortlessly stylish, colorful, chrome appliances never fail to look great on the countertops. Everything about this frother feels premium. It's really quiet, froths milks quickly, and can handle a range of plant based milks as well as dairy ones. If you fancy a cold cappuccino, latte, or milkshake, you can use the capable milk settings to create some incredible cold foam. I took this to our test kitchen recently and was blown away; the only thing that held me back from buying one was the price. The Smeg milk frother was $290, but is now $230. It's still expensive, but I'm tempted not to let the secret about this out, so don't tell.

Best pod coffee machine on the market
9. Nespresso Vertuo Next
Best pod coffee machine on the market
Tank size: 1.1ltr / 38.7fl oz | Pressure: 19bar | Dimensions: H31.7 x W14.28 x D42.9 cm / 12.4 x 5.5 x 16.88in
Small footprint
High pressure
Made from recycled plastic
Thick crema not for everyone
No milk steaming
Pod coffee machines are a really easy option if you want quality coffee, but don't want much fuss beforehand. We loved the VertuoNext when we tested it. It has three different pod sizes and can produce five mug volumes, from espresso to a 414ml Alto. Even better, they've also launched Over Ice pods so you can have an iced coffee too. We thought of this as mini, but mighty. It has a small footprint on the countertop, but heats up in 40 seconds quickly and maintains a really high pressure, so it could make amazing coffee.
Normally, a Nespresso Vertuo Next and Aerocino frother would set you back $180, but you'll save more than $50 in the Prime Day sale as both are now $171. You can buy a lot of coffee pods for $50, so it's a saving worth making.

Amazon Prime Day FAQs

Prime Day will be on for 48 hours on July 11 and 12. However, Amazon has already started some early discounts. Keep your eyes on our coverage for more deals in the following weeks.
How long will Prime Day run?
It's a 48 hour sale with some amazing deals, but we spotted some early discounts that we wanted to tell you about. We'll be covering more content and updating our buying guides day by day.
How many times a year does Amazon have Prime Day?
It's just once a year, so you'll want to make the most of the deals. There are other sales like Black Friday, which we'll also cover, but this is a great opportunity to buy that home appliance you've been thinking about.
What's the best Prime Day deal?
Whenever a Dyson is on sale, it's a great deal. These aren't often reduced and they're expensive products, so cash in when you can. With that being said, I have had my eyes on that Smeg Milk Frother since I tested it and now that it's reduced, I don't think I can resist.
