Yes, the retailer’s second iteration of its famous sale, otherwise known as Amazon Big Deal Days, will offer major discounts on top brands for two days starting Tuesday. And while some writers are focused on beauty, fashion and tech, I’ve made it my mission — scrolling for hours and combing through prices — to find the best home deals for refreshing your space. Even better? You can shop all these deals before the big event begins.

Make your shower feel more luxurious with a new high-pressure shower head, sleep like a baby on cloud-like pillows, organize your closet like a pro and vacuum with the convenience of voice or app command — and you can do it all for less than ever before (or at least the best price in a long time).
To ensure there’s no fluff, I vetted all the discounts, scrapping fake deals and highlighting the real steals. Keep scrolling for the best Prime Day home sales — the ones worth considering before the big sale kicks off.
If you struggle with getting enough water pressure without the extra water usage, this high-flow showerhead is designed to make it feel like you’re rinsing off in a rainforest. The 4.1-inch head provides a broader coverage area and gives you all the sensations of standing under a tropical waterfall without having to hop on a plane. Made with corrosion-resistant chrome, it also comes with a built-in water filter and has a self-cleaning nozzle that prevents mineral build-up — that means nothing can get between you and your rejuvenating shower.
“Holy gosh to goodness,” shared a five-star fan. “That rain mode is nothing short of heavenly! I just want to be in the shower all day and night now. Addictive, yes! Be warned!”
Snag it while it’s over half off! For just $15, you can make your shower feel more luxurious (or at least make getting all of the conditioner out of your hair a bit easier).
Is your bathmat a dingy mess? Well, we should fix that. This ultra-plush cushion absorbs water quickly, meaning you won’t be as likely to slip and slide on your tile floor. It’s made of a high-density memory foam that feels like heaven to stand on while drawing water away from your skin via a layer of soft flannel velvet. A nonskid bottom helps ensure the mat doesn’t go slipping around the bathroom.
We’ve only seen it on sale for a dollar less than its current price, and not very often, so you’re getting a fab deal with this discount.
“This floor mat is super soft, absorbent and cushy,” said a shopper. “This mat lays flat and doesn’t feel cheap. Would buy again!”
This handy bathroom organizer set, over 70% off, includes two large shower caddies, two soap holders and a toothbrush holder. Got big bottles of shampoo? There’s a caddy for that. Got a bar of soap? There’s a caddy for that. Their adhesive backing means you can stick ’em to tile walls or other nonporous surfaces without breaking out any tools. And don’t worry: The big ones can hold up to 40 pounds.
“I am impressed with the strength of the adhesive,” wrote a five-star fan. “I actually moved the location twice, and the adhesive held up very well. I have a small shower and these are perfect.”

More than 165,000 Amazon shoppers give these bestselling pillows a five-star rating. Why? They’re extra fluffy and feel like real down, like the ones you’d find at a high-end hotel. However, they’re also affordable — especially when they go on sale.
“My friend bought these for her guest room when my husband and I spent the night and we were amazed at how comfortable the pillows were,” said one shopper. “It was one of my best nights of sleep in a while! So I had to buy them for our house and I’m glad I did. They are full-looking and feeling, but not so full that it’s uncomfortable to sleep on. They are so comfortable and luxurious! I just love these pillows!”
Pick up one of Amazon’s top-selling throw blankets at an incredible price. This lightweight luxury is incredibly soft and warm, and it comes in a wide range of colors. It also comes in a few sizes, from your standard throw to California king.
“I purchased several of these and they hold up very well if you follow the label washing instructions,” said one fan. “Very soft and cozy. I will never buy another blanket that has to be dried on air fluff/no heat and then hung up to air dry! Such a pain. These come out great and soft in the dryer on low heat. Some are for me some are for my cats! They also approve.”

According to our trackers, this queen-size comforter in classic white is down to its all-time best price! Plus, it has tens of thousands of five-star ratings to back it up. It’s designed to be an all-season blanket, and has a soft poly microfiber shell with down alternative filling. It smartly features a box-stitch construction, which helps keep the filling evenly distributed and gives you that cloud-like feeling all around. Because this comforter comes with loops attached to its sides, you can use it as a duvet insert. And to make things really convenient, it’s machine-washable and dryer-friendly.
“Best sleep in a long time,” wrote one impressed buyer. “Not too thick, not too light. Didn’t wake up feeling too hot, either. I slept so well, I slept through my alarm and ended up late for my class. … Kept the fluffiness after the first wash too, like a cloud! 10/10 would be late for class again.”

If you’re going to be hosting this upcoming holiday season and need an extra bed, pick up this plush air mattress while it’s on sale. It’s easy to inflate, thanks to its built-in high-speed pump which fills it in two minutes. It’s 20 inches high, so it’s easier to get in and out of than a standard floor air mattress, and it has air-filled “coils” inside to provide back support. Your guests may never want to leave!
“I am so glad I purchased this air mattress. It is well worth the money spent,” confirmed one customer. “The bed itself is higher than most, which is good for getting in and out of. I also really like how quickly it inflates/deflates. In fact, I ended up sleeping on the air mattress and found it to be very comfortable. It held its air and was easy getting on and off.”
If you’re starting to feel like the Princess and the Pea but don’t feel like shelling out for a new mattress, a mattress topper can offer that cushiony layer you wish you were sleeping on. This top-seller is made from memory foam for pressure-relieving support that won’t feel too firm, and it’s even infused with lavender to help calm you as you drift off.
This is the lowest we’ve seen it all year, so grab one for your guest room while you’re at it.
“This mattress pad really helps with my back pain, I’m very impressed!” said one reviewer. “My bed is so much more comfortable. I slept so good last night. Wow! It’s definitely worth every dollar.”
Your carpets and upholstery are no match for Bissell’s Little Green Machine. You can use it on rugs, couches, mattresses and more to bring things back to that “fresh from the factory” feel. Just fill one of the tanks with a mix of water and cleaning solution, turn it on and use the hose to start scrubbing away stains and other messes. The dirty water goes into a separate detachable tank that you can easily dump out in the sink.
I personally have one of these, and I use it almost weekly on pet stains, food spills and more. Just recently, my partner violently sneezed while drinking a glass of red wine on our white couch and sent wine everywhere (true story), but the Little Green Machine got it all out (lucky for him). However, I paid full price and I’d do it again — but you don’t have to!
Hate vacuuming? Get a robot to do it for you. The Roomba Essential cleans in neat rows thanks to Smart Navigation features. (Think more precision, less bumper cars.) You’ll get up to two hours of cleaning on a single charge, and if it isn’t done when the charge runs out, it will pick up where it left off after some rest. And it can go just about anywhere: Use it on carpet, tile or hardwood floors.
This little robovac has over 19,000 five-star reviews on Amazon. “Love the job this Roomba does,” said one reviewer. “I was shocked at how much dust/debris it picked up in a room I thought was clean. Charging is easy, cleaning is relatively easy, and the machine is relatively quiet compared to a regular vacuum.”
Air purifiers can do a lot — suck allergens and other gunk out of your air, get rid of gross smells and just generally freshen up your space. The H13 features a HEPA filter, which is considered the gold standard of air purifiers, to tackle up to 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns. That means dust, pollen, bacteria, mold and more are all targeted. An infrared sensor monitors your air in real time and adjusts the fan speed to clean it faster if needed. If the air around your machine isn’t up to par, the display screen will turn yellow or red until it’s better.
Amazon shoppers give it a thumbs-up. “We’ve run it every day since we received it, and already we can tell a huge difference in the air quality,” said a five-star fan. “It’s helped filter out any dust from the cat litter, and has helped with any smells. The night mode is a must, as it still purifies air, but it’s almost inaudible.”

Yahoo named this Tineco the best cordless stick vacuum overall for 2024, and here’s why: It has a narrow brush head that swivels like a dream, it’s lightweight (just 7 pounds), incredibly quiet (on either of the two power modes) and it has a HEPA filter. Sounds great, right? Well, it also sports a color-coded LED ring that indicates battery life and tells you when your floor is truly clean. Its suction is great too — it picks up cat and dog hair. And finally (so many accolades!), it has a run time of 40 minutes before it needs a charge.
All that considered, it’s a miracle this vacuum is regularly just $300, but now that it’s on sale — even better! Grab it this Prime Day while it’s $80 off.
If you can’t seem to get your tile grout clean, try this little scrubber — it’s like an electric toothbrush, but for cleaning. It does practically all of the heavy lifting with its oscillating head, which scrubs 60 times per second. It also has two cleaning modes — a pulsing motion or continuous scrubbing — and its small design means it’ll fit into all of those corners, nooks and crannies that would likely be neglected with a larger brush. Amazon shoppers and Yahoo editors who have tried it are impressed.
“I never write reviews — but I had to write about this amazing little tool,” gushed a five-star reviewer. “I just bought a new house and wasn’t going to replace kitchen and bathroom floors. I spent an hour or so with this little tool and some grout cleaner, and my old kitchen floors look alive again. I’m shocked. And very, very happy.”
Hate lugging a heavy vacuum up and down your stairs? You won’t have to with this cordless vac — the sleek design is a major upgrade from bulky dirt-busters of yore. It transforms into a handheld for cleaning furniture and higher surfaces, and a filtration system traps allergens such as pet dander. Score this household helper (one of Yahoo editors’ picks for this year’s best vacuums) for just $300 — a cool $170 off.
“I have a dog that sheds. We got a cheaper Bissell vacuum a couple years ago and let’s just say you get what you pay for,” said one convert. “The suction on it wasn’t the greatest and it took a while having to go over certain spots on the furniture or rug multiple times. The minute I started using the Dyson, I was in shock how great it is. I did my research on a ton of cordless vacuums (did I mention how much of a difference a cordless vacuum makes?!) and this one had a lot of amazing reviews. So happy I took the leap and bought it! Yes, it’s pricey compared to some others, but like I mentioned, you get what you pay for and this is a great investment.”
These all-natural dryer balls are made of 100% New Zealand wool to help soften your laundry and cut down on static, so you can take harsh chemical softeners and dryer sheets out of your laundry room for good. When you toss a few into your dryer, they help break up any heavy clothes, towels or sheets so they can dry properly. The wool can also suck out the water and condensation from inside your dryer and improve the airflow, helping cut down on total drying time (and energy bills!) Score a set of six for just $13!
“First-time customer trying these wool dryer balls. Sooo glad I bought them!” gushed a convert. “They work. Clothes come out wrinkle-free, mostly, and soft. Huge plus: no more artificial smelly softener infiltrating my clothing and linens. Highly recommend!”
These aren’t your old-school plastic storage containers. These bin-bag hybrids are durable and structured enough to keep contents safe and protected. A transparent window lets you see what’s inside. And they’re stackable, so they help you make the most of every square foot. Each bag has a storage capacity of 60 liters — plenty of room for off-season clothing, fluffy bedding, piles of random accessories and more. Make sure you clip the on-page coupon for the best discount!
“I was very surprised by how this fabric storage container holds its shape. I was also surprised at how much it holds,” said a happy reviewer. “I used them to store blankets, beach towels and comforters. They also stack nicely. I really like that the sides are clear so you can see inside without opening them.”

This top-selling tub, tile and floor scrubber is great for power washing a bathroom, kitchen, walls and more. It has a long, extendable handle and comes with six brush heads, plus the rechargeable battery lasts for up to two hours. It’s lightweight too, so it’s not hard to lift high or carry from room to room — and it’s Yahoo editor-approved.
“Best cleaning purchase I’ve ever made,” said one five-star fan. “Wow, just wow. I have a messed-up back, and this baby has let me stay cleaning again! The extend feature is absolutely amazing. Doesn’t take long to charge, and a charge lasts several uses. Plenty of attachments included, and additional ones can be easily found here on Amazon. If I could I’d give this six stars.”
This knife set from Zwilling J.A. Henckels is durable, versatile and beloved by real chefs. It comes with a chef’s knife, utility knife, paring knives, six steak knives, kitchen shears and a honing steel to keep them sharp. Plus, the wooden block serves as storage, and the knives are dishwasher-safe. It’s no wonder this set is an Amazon No. 1 bestseller backed by almost 13,000 five-star reviews. But we are surprised by how good this discount is!
“We cook a lot and these knives … are like cutting through butter. I would highly recommend them,” said one home chef.
Make food nice and crispy (even if it’s just leftovers) with Ninja’s 5.5-quart Max XL air fryer. In addition to air frying in its basket, you can bake, reheat and dehydrate food. The buttons are pretty intuitive too, so you can use it right out of the box with no issues.
“I’m lazy when it comes to cooking. This air fryer was so easy to use that it actually made me cook more,” said one customer. “It’s very sleek and performs well. Buttons are very responsive and it does what it advertises.”
Prep ingredients and store leftovers with this set of durable glass food containers, now over 40% off! Each one comes with a leak-proof snap-lock lid, so they keep food fresh and they’re less messy. They’re also dishwasher-, freezer-, microwave- and oven-safe.
“After using these containers, I threw all my other ones in the garbage!” said one shopper. “I love the covers. They fit very well and I don’t have to worry about them leaking. I love these! I love the fact that you can put these in the freezer. They can go from freezer to oven (without lids), microwavable and dishwasher-safe. Easy to stack.”
Enjoy a cup of coffee in bed (or at least delay heading out for the day) with the incredibly compact Keurig K-Mini. And when we say compact, we mean it: It’s just under 5 inches wide, so it doesn’t take up much room on your countertop. However, it’s a single-serve machine, meaning you have to pour water into it each time you want to use it. Some people aren’t into that, but it ensures you have a truly fresh cup of joe every single time. Get it while it’s nearly half off this Prime Day!
More than 78,000 Amazon shoppers give it a five-star rating, with one person calling it the “perfect way to start the morning.” They continued: “The Keurig is so unbelievably easy to use. Just pour some water into the back, pop in a K-cup and press the button. Thirty seconds later, you have a fresh, hot cup of coffee. Overall, would highly recommend.”
In the market for a new slow cooker? Get this trusty Crock-Pot while it’s marked down to its lowest price since the spring. You can use it to make all your favorite soup, stew and braised meat recipes with little-to-no effort.
“This Crock-Pot is perfect!” said one shopper. “You don’t need anything fancy to get the job done! Very reasonable in price, easy to clean, very durable and cooked our chicken perfectly. A must-have for your kitchen!”
Ninja blenders are incredibly powerful (and much less expensive than, say, a Vitamix) — even more so when they’re marked 40% off! It comes with three cups you can use to blend all sorts of tasty concoctions. Use its 72-ounce blender jar for big batches of smoothies, soups and sauces. Its 16-ounce Nutri Ninja Cups are ideal for smaller, personal-sized drinks (just pop on the lids to take them to go) and its 8-cup food processor is ideal for speeding dinner prep.
“This is an extremely powerful blender,” said one Amazon shopper. “Was making smoothies in my old blender and it was an effort, to say the least. Now, just add the ingredients, blend away, and smoothie is perfect. No chunks. Liquifies anything I have put in. … If you are switching from an underpowered blender, this will feel like the difference between a bicycle and motorcycle.”
If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)
