The Best Amazon Prime Day Deals for 2023

Amazon Prime Deals — The Spruce Eats / Jaclyn Mastropasqua

Amazon's much-anticipated annual Prime Day deals event is officially over, seemingly putting an end to a bunch of markdowns on all things kitchen, from small appliances and cookware to dinnerware and kitchen gadgets. Lucky for you, we found some sales still going on.

Make sure you have a Prime membership (sign up for a free 30-day membership here) so you can still see the deals and shop. Don't want to spend another dime on a membership? Check out the competitor's deals: Walmart, Wayfair, Macy's, Caraway, and Our Place all have sales in July, too.

Amazon Prime Day happened on July 11-12, 2023. Though the event is over, here are the editor-approved deals you can still get.

Ninja AF101 Air Fryer

We picked this 4-quart air fryer as one of our best since it can do it all! You'll be able to air fry, air roast, bake, and dehydrate with the built-in presets. It heated consistently and evenly throughout all of our testing, and the controls are so intuitive, we didn't need to have the manual open during our test runs.

This Chefman air fryer is so good it will likely replace your microwave, oven, and frying pan.

Enter: this single-serve coffee maker, capable of brewing up both a bold cup of hot java and crisp iced coffee. All you have to do is pour in some coffee grounds (made easy with the integrated measuring system), make your choice, and voila! Instant delicious satisfaction.

Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2

For perfectly hot and revitalizing sips of coffee (or tea) every time, the Ember Smart Mug is the move. It uses temperature control technology to keep your drink at the precise temperature you set it to, all day long. The accompanying app is super convenient for customizing the temp to the degree, as well as using preset settings best for different types of teas and coffee beverages. A couple of our editors actually bought these for our moms, and they were a hit.

Mueller Vacuum Sealer

Vacuum Sealer Machine By Mueller — Amazon

Sure, airtight containers do the trick, but nothing keeps your food fresh like a vacuum sealer. If you like buying meat or fish in bulk, vacuum-sealing it before storing it in the freezer will help maintain the quality. You can also use it to store leftovers in the fridge or freezer.

Anova Culinary Nano Sous Vide Cooker

The only downside of this sous vide machine is that you’ll never want to cook meat in any of your other appliances ever again. The precision cooker takes "set it and forget it" to the next level, keeping the water temperature (which cooks your food) extremely constant for perfect results. It comes paired with an app that makes programming it that much easier.

Cuisinart Petite Gourmet Portable Gas Grill

When was Prime Day 2023?

Amazon's Prime Day was July 11 and 12 this year. Early access deals started June 21 and continued through the weeks leading up to Prime Day.

What is Prime Day?

Since its establishment, Prime Day has become a roaring success for Amazon, its retailers, and its customers. It's one of the biggest sale events of the year filled with huge discounts across all of Amazon's categories.

Most of the deals were available during the entire two-day event, although there are still some going on. You must be a Prime member to take advantage of the deals, but if you’re not currently a member, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial to get access.

"Amazon has a policy that brands must discount their Prime Day deals by at least 20 percent from their lowest price in the last 90 days," says Ian Sells, CEO of Rebate Key, a program that offers coupons and cash back for online purchases. So, you really are getting a great deal. "Really any category can see huge discounts," Sells says. "If you have time, look through all the deals that go live every hour and see if you can find some gems."

What Other Brands Offer Prime Day Deals?

Prime Day started as an Amazon-only event, but other retailers have gotten in on the action as well. In the past few years, Walmart, Home Depot, Kohl’s, and Nordstrom have offered big deals to compete with Prime Day. These noteworthy sales occur on the same days or week of Amazon's Prime Day.

What Categories Are Best to Shop?

You’ll score the best deals on practically everything. From electronics and appliances to kitchen essentials, there are a ton of products to shop at a fraction of the cost. Last year, our readers particularly loved cookware sets, espresso machines, blenders, and vacuum sealers.
