When is Amazon Prime Day 2025, and how long does it last?

July’s Prime Day is Amazon’s annual summer sale and the retailer’s biggest savings event, with deals happening across the entire site. Historically, Prime Day has always run for just two days. This year, however, Amazon announced that Prime Day will officially run for a total of four days, starting July 8 and continuing through July 11. We hope this two-day extension will translate into more opportunities to save on the items and essentials that you’ve been waiting all year to buy.

What will be on sale for Prime Day, and is it worth it?

As we mentioned earlier, Prime Day deals span Amazon’s entire site, across every category from home to beauty to personal electronics and pet supplies. In previous years, this has included some of the most coveted goods from the biggest brand names like Dyson, Vitamix and Apple, as well as viral best sellers like the Bissell Little Green carpet and upholstery cleaner, Blueair air purifiers, and the Korean Iope PDRN serum. Based on our previous reporting, shoppers can also anticipate price drops on everyday cleaning essentials, headphones, robot vacuums, pricy kitchen appliances, laptops, luggage and travel items, highly rated bedding, and everything moms of preschoolers need.

In terms of savings, you can expect to see record discounts, some of which may not happen again for the rest of the year. We know this because the HuffPost shopping team uses trackers that allow us to keep tabs on how prices trend, and whether or not they’ve reached annual lows.

While you’re perusing Amazon’s site during Prime Day, you might also notice different deal banners on items, such as “Best Deal” and “Lightning Deals.” In our experience covering the sale, we see that “Best Deals” typically mean that an item will remain discounted throughout the entire duration of Prime Day, while “Lightning Deals” typically offer a deeper discount and are only available for a short burst of time, meaning you should probably jump on them fast when you see them.

How does Prime Day Work?

It essentially functions just as you would normally shop on Amazon. After logging into your Prime account, shop the entire landing page, or search for something specifically using the search bar, and Prime Day discounts will be indicated in red on each product page. Add an item to your shopping cart, and discounts will automatically be applied at checkout.

Is Prime Day only for Prime members?

Yes, to take advantage of the best savings, you must be an Amazon Prime member. This membership does more than just gain you access to discounts; it also comes with other perks and benefits like free and expedited shipping, which, in some cases, are as fast as overnight. The cost is $15 a month, however, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial and cancel your membership after Prime Day ends.

Will there be other online retailers having sales too?

In years past, many major retailers across the internet conducted competing sales on the same days as Amazon Prime Day. Well-known stores like Target, Walmart and Best Buy marked down their wares to historical lows to expand savings and options for anyone with differing preferred retailers. Like always, we’ll continue to monitor these alternate sales and report on the best ones.

Will there be any early deals, and how can I make sure I’m not missing out?

Yes, in the weeks and days leading up to Prime Day (just like any day of the year), Amazon offers deals and promotions that you can shop right now. And just like the main event, these discounts are cross-category and may even remain on sale or drop even lower through Prime Day. Our eagle-eyed sales team closely monitors and reports on these preliminary deals to make them easier for you to spot.

If you can’t wait for Prime Day to start saving, take advantage of the tons of really great finds discounted right now, which were curated and compiled by HuffPost Shopping’s sales team — shop them for yourself below.

A back-saving electric spin scrubber (40% off)

Cleaning your floors and bathtub can be an ordeal, especially if you experience pain, mobility challenges or are just really low on energy. Instead of straining your back, arms and neck to get that hard-to-reach grime, consider upgrading your cleaning process with the top-selling LABIGO LA3 Pro electric spin scrubber that’s currently a whopping 40% off.

I cleaned my tub in like 3 minutes without having to bend over once. It was so easy, and the scrubber really gets in there so I didn’t even have to spend time going back over areas.”

Jazz up your yard, patio or screened porch with these outdoor lanterns that also double as BlueTooth speakers so you can get the ultimate outdoor experience this summer. Whether you want to kick your feet up on the porch and listen to a podcast or vibe to your favorite tunes from a lawn chair, these lanterns will be your light source and audio device. Per reviewers, they’re “super easy to hook up” (and you know we love that) and the sound is pretty dang good!

Right now they’re already on sale for 23% off.

Promising review: This is by far one of the best purchases I have ever made. I ordered six to start and will definitely buy more. It’s so easy to set up and the way they automatically sync with one another is so convenient. I spread them all throughout the house and around the property and they worked perfectly! The sound is great, crisp, clear, zero static, zero interference. When I shut off the main speakers I had the Bluetooth connected to, they followed in suit and shut down. I was so happy that I did not have to shut them off individually. The fact that we can move these around and travel with them, makes this product hard to beat. You can take these with you anywhere, that means I can move the party from the front yard to the backyard without issue. Seriously the best purchase I’ve made in a long time.” — Lewi

A pair of editor-approved motion sickness glasses (30% off)

Senior shopping writer Tessa Flores deals with severe car sickness. Rather, Flores used to have bad car sickness, until she grabbed a pair of these funny-looking motion looking glasses. For kids or adults, these glasses help reviewers in cars, on trains, planes, boats and all other travel.

Flores spoke to Dr. Neil Bhattacharyya, board-certified otolaryngologist and professor of otolaryngology at Massachusetts Eye and Ear and Harvard Medical School about the glasses, who said they likely work by creating a “artificial horizon” for your eyes with the moving liquid in the rings. And while they usually retail for around $10 at Amazon, they’re currently only $6.99 when you use the promo code to redeem the 30% coupon. (You’ll see two individual coupons for 20% and 30% off on the product page, but when we attempted to combine both coupons, the total in our carts only reflected the 30% discount, leading us to believe that the discounts can’t be combined.)
