Best Deals During Amazon's Big Spring Sale

This air fryer is the priciest in our ratings. It typically retails for $400, and this sale price is the best we’ve ever seen. At 22 pounds, the Typhur Dome AF03 is one of the heaviest air fryers we’ve tested, so you may want to just leave it on the countertop if you have space.  It may not have the most intuitive controls, according to our tests, but it’s easy to clean—with a dishwasher-safe basket—and it receives an excellent score in our noise tests. It has a self-cleaning function to remove oil and stains, and you can adjust your settings and monitor cooking in the Typhur app.

The BN701 Professional Plus with Auto iQ earns top scores in our tests for convenience and durability, and based on CR’s surveys, owners are very satisfied with their purchase. Though it also scored well in our pureeing and ice crushing tests, it got just a middling score on blending smoothies, so if that’s the main reason you want a blender, you may want to consider another model. This sale price has been available leading up to the sale, so it’s not any better than usual, but it’s still a good deal for the quality of the blender itself.

The GE G8H1AASSPSS Blender is an immersion model that comes with a whisk and chopper, and it’s available now at a sweet price. It showed excellent performance in our soup puree tests, and the chopper attachment did a great job grating cheese. The whisk attachment allows you to quickly whip egg whites to stiff peaks and easily turn heavy cream into rich whipped cream. It’s typically on sale for $69.99, and we haven’t seen a better price so far in 2026, until now.

This frying pan rarely goes on sale. The 10.5-inch pan cooks evenly, and its ceramic coating rates well for food release and durability. The handle is super-sturdy and cool to the touch when cooking. Though made of aluminum, the pan is induction-compatible, says the manufacturer. This is the best price we’ve ever seen, beating the previous low by $10

Weighing in at just 5 pounds, the top-rated Our Place Perfect Pot is the lightest Dutch oven in our ratings (and it’s back to its best price). It receives excellent scores across all our performance tests, meaning you can evenly cook and simmer sauces and bake bread with a perfectly crisp crust. The only area where it falls short is in the handle temperature test, where it receives a mediocre score (meaning you’ll probably want to use potholders). Unlike most Dutch ovens, this one is made of aluminum with a ceramic nonstick coating. It’s oven-safe only to 425° F. (Most Dutch ovens in our ratings can withstand 500° F or higher.)

The Meater+ meat thermometer is one of the most reliable digital thermometers. It’s easy to use, and given its top-notch accuracy, you won’t need guesswork to determine the doneness of brisket and other fleshy delights. It’s shaped like a thick ink pen with dual sensors—one to check the internal temperature and one for ambient temperature—and its size makes it better suited for girthier cuts. The Meater+ transmits temperature readings wirelessly to the companion smartphone app. This is the typical sale price.

These dish towels are a versatile addition to any kitchen. Not only can they be used to mop up spills and dry dishes, but they also come in handy when handling hot pans. And unlike many oven mitts, dish towels are much easier to clean. Professional chef Joshua Resnick said, "These are used in kitchens because they are cheap, they are versatile and can be folded depending on what you’re handling. We also use them to put under hot items so as to not leave hot spots on kitchen counters where someone can hurt themselves.”

For a basic, one-button machine, this compact model produced perfectly tender, chewy rice. In fact, it’s the best—earning a stellar score in that test—and the fastest of the top rice cookers we’ve tested. It took half the time to cook rice compared with most of the other models we tested. Points were docked for convenience, though, because it lacks programs, a keep-warm mode, and audio cues when the rice is done (it automatically turns off). But if you’re looking for the simplest rice cooker without any microcomputer, touchscreen, or alerts, this is a good choice that takes up little space. It’s the kind of starter rice cooker that seems made for college students.

If you’re looking for a basic toaster that will serve up perfectly consistent toast for breakfast in the morning (or anytime for that matter) the Hamilton Beach Gourmet 22996 2-Slice toaster may just fit the bill. This model earned top marks in our tests for one-slice and full-batch toasting, as well as color range. The downside? The toaster’s exterior and crumb tray may be tricky to clean, our testers warn. But that may not matter at a price this low—just know it was the same price before the Spring Sale started.

This wireless model from JBL delivers acceptable sound quality and top-notch active noise reduction. These earphones have an isolating design and an ambient sound monitoring feature; they will provide some muffling and electronic canceling of external noises and also reduce the amount of sound that escapes from the earpieces. As such, they are best for those who want highly portable earphones that reduce the amount of noise they hear from their surroundings, or don’t want the sound from the earpieces to disturb others. The sale price is the same as we’ve seen for weeks.

If you’re a fan of the Google Pixel phone, then the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are a solid choice for a complementary earbud. They have a Find My Device function, and the sound can be adjusted through the Pixel app. The Pixel Buds 2 earn very good sound quality grades and score well for noise cancellation. They’ve been available at this price for weeks.

If you’re afraid of losing an earbud, the Sony WI-C100 is a great choice. With a wire tethering the two buds together, the odds of losing your headphones greatly diminish. Our testers give the Sony earbuds fine marks for sound quality. They don’t have noise cancellation, but the earphones will muffle some external noise and limit the amount of sound that escapes from the earpieces. They also have an in-line mic for phone calls.

The 75-inch Roku 75R8C5, one of the company’s new 2025 Pro-series models, does well in all aspects, including picture quality, HDR performance, and sound. Like its predecessor, it has a Mini LED backlight. It supports both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ HDR formats, as well as Dolby Atmos audio. This is a good deal for a fine-performing TV.

The Amazon Fire TV Cube, now only $5 more than its best price, is a mashup of an Amazon Echo and a 4K Fire TV streamer. Its universal remote control capabilities let you control a host of other compatible A/V gear, including TVs, soundbars, receivers, and even some cable and satellite boxes. New features include HDMI 2.1 connections—one input and one output—for controlling other devices using your voice. (One cool trick is that the Cube will also upscale any content from a source connected to its HDMI input.) Other features include support for WiFi 6E, support for both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ HDR, and an Off button that disconnects the microphones if you don’t want the device in an always-listening mode.

Situated right below the Roku Streaming Stick 4K+ model, the Streaming Stick 4K has most of the same features—including improved WiFi, support for HDR10+ and Dolby Vision HDR, and the ability to work with Amazon Alexa, Apple AirPlay, and Google Assistant voice assistant—but not the new rechargeable Voice Remote Pro remote control. This is $10 more than the best price we’ve seen, so you may save more if you can wait until Prime Day.

The second-gen Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is basically an updated version of the previous model, with a slightly faster processor, more storage (16GB instead of 8GB), and support for a newer wireless protocol, WiFi6e. It also has a new feature, called the Fire TV Ambient Experience, which has only been available on Amazon’s Omni-series QLED TVs until now. Basically, it lets you see information such as calendars and reminders, control smart devices, and view artwork or photos on the screen when you’re not watching TV.

If you’ve got a Sonos multiroom system, the Roam 2 can be a useful addition to your musical life. It allows you to add Bluetooth capability to a speaker system that works with WiFi only. This makes it a reliable choice for a small Bluetooth speaker. The Roam 2 is a bit on the expensive side, even at the sale price, so if you don’t own a Sonos system, there are likely cheaper options that will sound just as good, if not better.

This compact all-in-one smart soundbar delivers very good overall sound quality, so it should appeal to even more critical listeners for music and movie soundtrack playback. It supports Dolby Atmos audio, though it doesn’t have up-firing drivers; instead, it uses signal processing and phased speaker arrays to create Atmos effects. It also has built-in Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant digital assistants.

The Blueair Blue Pure 311i Max Air Purifier features an indicator light to alert you when you need to change or clean the filter. It also has a dirt sensor and four speeds. On its higher setting, it’s terrific at removing dust, pollen, and smoke, but expect a bit of noise. It’s easy to use, and is designed for use in a large space of 350 to 650 square feet. CR members find Blueair air purifiers to be highly reliable, and they’re very satisfied with their purchases. This is the same sale price that was available before the sale.

The Levoit PlasmaPro 600S is a solid performer all-around, clearing the air of dust, pollen, and smoke at both higher and lower settings with great results. It’s noisy while running at a high speed, but it’s relatively quiet at low speeds, making it ideal for an office or bedroom. And you don’t have to worry about keeping track of filter changes: An indicator light alerts you when it’s time. This machine also has a dust sensor and a programmable timer. This is the same price you could get the day before the sale started, so it’s likely to be available after the sale ends as well.

Looking for an air purifier for a very large space? This model from AirDoctor is rated for 650 square feet or more, and it’s CR Recommended. Most air purifiers are going to be loud and this is no exception, but it is among the quietest (relative to other models) that we’ve tested when running on its highest speeds. It’s also better than most at removing particles at any speed, earning it a very good score overall. This is $50 more than the lowest price we’ve seen, but it’s the best deal that’s been available since the start of the new year.

At 50 pounds, the Coway Airmega ProX is quite heavy, but it also delivers high-quality performance—the current sale price was available before the Spring Sale started and may be available after too. On both higher and lower speeds, this model excels at clearing rooms of dust, pollen, and smoke. And it scores well when it comes to noise. It accommodates indoor spaces up to a whopping 2,126 square feet. But the ProX’s top-tier performance comes at a hefty price, plus about $247 annually, according to our estimates. The ProX features three speeds, a filter indicator, and a dirt sensor. In our surveys, CR members say they’re highly satisfied with their Coway air purifiers. The brand earns top marks for predicted reliability, too.

The Luxe Bidet Neo 320 was discounted this much before the sale began, so you’re not saving any more by buying it now. This dual-nozzle model performs impressively on the most important metric—how thoroughly it cleans. It also offers heated water, provided your bathroom’s layout allows for connection to a hot water line via the included hose. (The hot water valve needs to be within 10 feet of the toilet.) For the less handy among us and those short on time: The Neo 320 Plus comes conveniently preassembled, and you don’t have to fully remove the toilet seat to install it. This model is also designed to flip up on hinges, which allows for easier cleaning of the toilet bowl and surrounding area. However, you can’t adjust the angle of the spray nozzle, as you can with some models.

The Tushy Classic 3.0 performs very well in our cleaning test, though it’s a notch below some others we tested, including the model above. It has only one nozzle, but the direction of the spray is adjustable. It also offers a convenient knob to dial in your preferred water pressure. Our testers find the Tushy Classic 3.0 to be a bit more cumbersome to install than other models. While it does come preassembled, you have to remove your toilet seat to mount it. It also lacks an alignment guide to help you position the bidet against the back of the toilet rim, which means you may spend more time manually adjusting.

If you don’t have a lot of carpets at home, it’s worth considering the Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away NV752, which is excellent at cleaning bare surfaces. It’s one of the quieter upright vacuums we tested, and it also scores well for picking up pet hair. The vacuum comes with LED headlights, which can spotlight any debris on the floor while you’re cleaning.

As long as you don’t mind that it’s on the noisier side, the Black+Decker DustBuster CHV1410L is a hand vac worth considering for its cleaning power. It’s good at removing debris from bare floors and carpet, despite not having a power brush attachment. This price is the lowest the model has sold for in the last few months.

If you’re a pet owner, the price on this Shark Vertex DuoClean AZ2002 is a real steal. It picks up pet hair especially well, has exceptional suction power, and does a solid job of containing small dust particles. It also has a lift-away canister, which makes cleaning hard-to-reach places easier. The self-cleaning brush roll prevents pet hair (and any long hair) from wrapping around it and getting tangled in the vacuum.

Consistent with its moniker, the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser erased any evidence of pet hair from test carpets. It wasn’t the most powerful vacuum, but testers like the lighted crevice tool and the lights on the side of the vacuum that make it easier to see debris along edges. This model also has a lift-off feature which allows the user to convert the vacuum to canister mode.

This Kenmore 200 Series 81214 performs quite well in CR cleaning tests, with a strong score for cleaning carpets and suction power, while its ability to clean bare floss and pet hair is stellar. Negatives? Handling is average and it’s one of the noisier canisters. Differences from the 400 Series: the on/off switch is on the body, it has a different type of suction control, and there’s no telescopic wand.

If you dislike robovacs that are too noisy, the Eufy RoboVac 11S Max is the choice for you. Right now it’s at its best price, but it’s often on sale for $150, so if you don’t buy it now you’ll be able to get it for a good price later. It’s unobtrusively quiet, and it gets high scores for how well it can navigate through your home and avoid obstacles. While it’s only so-so at cleaning carpets, it’s impressive at picking up debris from bare floors. We like that its profile is slim, so that it can get underneath low furniture without getting stuck.

The Bissell Revolution HydroSteam Pet 3432 is a great choice, thanks to its strong performance—it scores very well in our tests for cleaning, drying, and convenience. It comes with a 2-in-1 pet upholstery tool and a 6-inch tough stain tool, making it especially handy if you have stairs to clean or want to use it on large furniture. This carpet cleaner typically costs about $100 more than higher-performing Bissells in our ratings, so it’s definitely better to buy it when it’s on sale (even if this is the same price that was available before the Spring Sale).

The Bissell ProHeat 2x Revolution Pet Pro Plus is a great choice if you want to own your own carpet cleaner, especially at this price. It aced our drying tests and demonstrated strong cleaning performance—plus, our testers found it very convenient to use. Its hose length, just short of 7 feet, makes it good for stairs and larger homes, and per tank of solution, it covers about 39 square feet. It also features carrying handles and separate tanks for clean and dirty water. And this price was available ahead of the sale, so it’s no better than usual

The GorFanty 10-in-1 MultiPurpose is an excellent cleaner with a decent steam rate, and it’s back to its best price. It takes only 20 seconds for the steam mop to produce steam, and its steam can last for around 10 minutes on its maximum setting. We like that you can adjust the length of the mop to accommodate people of different heights. The mop comes with plenty of accessories, including attachments for cleaning tile grout, clothes, furniture, windows, and carpets.

The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Enhanced is one of the company’s newer smart thermostats. It performs well in our tests for manual operation and offers an array of smart features, but it’s not as proficient at learning your routine and making adjustments automatically. It features a new radar-based occupancy sensor and works with Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings for voice and app control. It doesn’t come with one of Ecobee’s wireless temperature sensors (called SmartSensors), but you can buy those separately in a two-pack for $100 at Best Buy and Ecobee.

The Amazon Smart Plug is essentially an accessory for consumers who use Amazon Echo speakers and Alexa to run their smart home, because it’s managed entirely from the Alexa app and doesn’t work with other smart home systems. It performs quite well in our tests of the best smart plugs, with our experts finding it very easy to set up and use. It also provides strong data security.

The Aqara Camera E1 is a strong performer, especially for video quality and alert response time. It can store footage on a microSD card (up to 512 gigabytes; sold separately) and offers plenty of features, including person detection, motorized pan-and-tilt so you can remotely change the camera’s view, and a privacy mode that will point the camera at a wall or ceiling.

The Blink Wired Floodlight Cam is back down to its usual Prime Day sale price, which it has seemed to drop to almost without fail over the last few years. In our tests, it receives superb scores for video quality and response time, as well as a very good score for data security. It falls in the middle of the pack in terms of its smart features, and its data privacy guarantees are weak (a common issue across brands in this space). Its features include a siren, activity zones, voice/app control via Amazon Alexa, and up to 5 minutes of continuous live streaming. You can store footage locally without a subscription if you purchase a Blink Sync Module 2, $50, and plug in a USB flash drive. Cloud video storage and other features (such as person detection) require a Blink Subscription Plan.
