Amazon gives you 3 reasons to ditch your Fire TV Stick and try something new
Bargain hunters have a blockbuster week ahead with Amazon launching its next big Prime Day sale event. Things get underway today and then run all week, with prices returning to normal from Saturday, July 12. There are already plenty of deals to be bagged, including money off smartphones, headphones and tablets, plus you'll find huge discounts on all of Amazon's own-brand devices.
Some of the best and biggest price cuts will please anyone who is fed up with their current Fire TV Stick. All three of Amazon's latest and greatest streaming devices are now cheaper than ever, and that includes the ultimate 4K Max model.
This device usually costs a whopping £69.99 but, thanks to Prime Day 2025, you can now grab one for just £39.99 - that's a whopping £30 off.
As a quick reminder, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max comes packed with features including a fast processor, speedy Wi-Fi 6E compatibility and exclusive access to the Ambient Experience. This transforms TV screens into a giant work of art, plus you overlay widgets such as calendars and sticky notes.
The bargains don't stop there. Amazon also have two more big discounts on its devices including a massive 53% off the Fire TV Stick 4K.
That cut slashes things from £59.99 down to just £27.99. As the name suggests, this gadget offers pin-sharp 4K visuals along with improved Wi-Fi 6 access. There's also an Alexa-powered voice remote and a sleek design.
Finally, Amazon is offering a price cut to its entry-level Fire TV Stick HD, which currently costs £23.99. For that price you get a device that offers instant access to all the most popular streaming services. There's also a new Alexa remote and quick keys for fast launching of apps such as Netflix and Disney+.
These are all solid offers that stores such as Argos currently can't match. Just remember that to get the deals you will need a Prime account. It's free for the first month but then costs £8.99 per month.

Amazon Prime Day vs the high street: Where can you find the best deals?
The Amazon Prime Day 2025 sale is here, bringing four days of discounts on top brands such as Apple, Ninja and Dyson. As is often the case during major sales events like Prime Day, competing high street retailers will match or even beat Amazon's prices in a bid to compete with the online giant. Until midnight on Friday 11 July, The IndyBest team and I will be bringing you the best Prime Day deals on air fryers, mattresses, vacuum cleaners and lots more. As ever, we'll also be keeping a close eye on the high street retailers that are offering better deals or perks on top products, which you can find in this guide. Right now, Amazon is leading the way with the best discounts on hero products. However, that could very much change over the next three days. But, if you're not a Prime member and don't fancy forking out for a membership, you can use this page to see what popular products you can make a saving on. Prime Day is a good chance to save on big-ticket items on your wishlist, such as the Dyson airwrap. The coveted hair tool is rarely discounted, so I was pleased to see it included in the sale. There's a decent 17 per cent off at Amazon, but if it drops out of stock or you're not a Prime member, you can get it for the same price at Very. The airwrap i.d. was released last year and comes with a companion app that adjusts the airflow and heat settings according to your hair type. Beauty writer, Elena Chabo's, verdict was that it'll 'set you up for almost every styling need, halve your styling time and minimise damage to hair'. You can save on rarely discounted Apple tech currently at Amazon. This includes the iPhone 16e, which we've seen drop to less than £500 for the first time since its 2025 launch. Competing high street retailers are yet to match this offer, but if you're looking for alternative deals, you can get £50 off at John Lewis. If you shop at John Lewis, you'll also get £10 off an Apple iPhone case when you use the code ' IPHONECASE10 '. Tech critic, David Phelan, called the 16e an 'outstanding choice' in his review. Compared to its predecessor, the iPhone SE, you get 'more storage', a 'bigger display' and 'a bigger battery'. Eufy is one of our favourite brands for robot vacuums and video doorbells, and currently Amazon has discounted a series of its products in the Prime Day sale. Take, for example, the omni C20 robot vacuum, which Amazon has slashed the price by £220, but if you don't have a Prime membership, you can nab it for the same price at Eufy. All you need to do is use the discount code ' WS24T2280'. You'll need to be quick, though, as just like the Prime Day deals, the offer is only available until 11.59pm on Friday 11 July. Amazon has knocked 30 per cent off the price of our best robot vacuum in the Prime Day sale, making it the best offer we can find right now. However, if you're not a Prime member, you can still get £250 off when you buy the robot vacuum directly from Eufy. All you have to do is use the discount code ' WS24T2351' when you checkout, and the deal is yours. Our tech critic, Alex Lee, described the robot vacuum as 'the most hands-off machine we've tested yet'. As well as vacuuming and mopping, he was impressed with its ability to refill itself with water and clean its own mop pads. Oura is known for its smart rings, with its ring 4 earning the top spot in our round-up. Amazon has the best offer on the ring 4 right now with 20 per cent off, bringing it down to its cheapest ever price at the online retailer. If you're not signed up for Amazon Prime, you can still save on the smart ring at John Lewis. It's £12 more, but you can save a further £5 if you buy an Oura ring 4 sizing kit before you purchase the ring itself. In his review of the ring 4, senior tech critic, Alex Lee, wrote that 'no smart ring comes close in the activity department'. He praised its ability to automatically track 40 different workouts 'really effectively', as well as its sleep tracking that beats the Apple Watch. If you want to nab a Ninja deal, you're best bet is to shop its deals in the Prime Day sale. At the moment, this is where you'll find the best offers on its appliances and cookware. For now, the only competing offer that's worth a look is on its staysharp knife set. You'll get the best savings at Amazon, but if you can do without a pair of scissors, you can also pick up the knife block for £1 more at QVC. an essential in my kitchen for years.

You can get 50% off your next Grubhub order — here's how
There's no denying the convenience of Amazon Prime. From fast and free, sometimes same-day delivery, to exclusive deals (such as its Amazon Prime Day event running now), entertainment through Prime Video and Prime Music, and so much more. But if you're a foodie, I've just spotted an offer I don't think you'll be able to resist. Amazon Prime members can get a Grubhub+ membership, which would ordinarily set you back $9.99 per month. You'll get unlimited $0 delivery fees, reduced service fees, and exclusive offers on orders from some Grubhub+ restaurants. But that's not all, Amazon is also running a limited-time offer in honor of Prime Day that gets you 50 percent off orders over $25, and orders up to $20 when you use the exclusive discount code ' PRIME50 '. Plus, you'll also be able to snag a five per cent Grubhub+ credit back on eligible pick-up orders. According to Amazon, this could save you $300 a year. Feeling tempted? I'd recommend you sign up for an Amazon Prime membership now. In order to get access to this offer, you will need to be a Prime member, but signing up is simple, and you can cancel your subscription at any time. A Prime membership costs $14.99 per month, or $139 per year if you pay annually, and there are discounts available for young adults and qualifying government-assistance recipients. However, if you're unsure whether you want to commit to a subscription, there is a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime, provided you're a new member who hasn't already used a free trial. Once your Amazon Prime membership is set up, you will need to link your Amazon account with Grubhub. When this is done, you should be able to place your Grubhub order, either through the Amazon website or app. It's worth noting that, even if you're not a Prime member, you can still order food on Grubhub using your Amazon account.

When does Amazon Prime Day end in the U.S.? Everything you need to know
Amazon Prime Day is underway. And, as a shopping editor who has covered the retailer's sales for more than five years, it's safe to say I know how to spot a good deal from a dud. I'd always recommend using price comparison tools to make sure you're getting the best possible price, but I can confidently say some of the best deals see big-ticket products plummet to their lowest-ever price. Apple's AirPods Pro 2, for example, have been reduced by $100 to just $149, making them cheaper than their Black Friday price. And both Dyson's top-rated air purifier and Yeti's tumbler are now cheaper than ever. There are also impressive savings on Ninja air fryers, robot vacuums, CeraVe beauty products, and gaming devices. For the first ever year, the summer sale is running for four full days, but when will it end? Keep scrolling for answers to all of your burning questions, as well as a handpicked selection of the best deals across tech, appliances, beauty, and more. When did Amazon Prime Day 2024 start in the US? Amazon kicked off its Prime Day sale on July 8 at midnight. For the first year, the Amazon Prime Day sale will run for four days. Amazon Prime Day ends on July 11. From experience, the deals tend to stay the same for the duration of the event. But big-ticket items such as AirPods or games consoles do have a tendency to sell out before the end of the sales event. Is Prime Day only for Prime members? Yes, Prime Day is a celebration of Amazon's Prime members, so you'll actually need to be a Prime member to secure all the deals. Amazon Prime costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year. But there is a way around paying for the subscription. If you're not already a Prime member, you might be eligible for a free 30-day trial of Prime. It's only available to Amazon customers who have never been a Prime member before or haven't been a Prime member in the last 12 months. If you're between the ages of 18 and 22, you can also get an even longer six-month free trial, as well as half-price memberships, meaning you'll pay just $7.49 instead of $14.99 per month. Sign up now before the deals end on Friday. Tech Home Beauty
