Amazon Deals of the Day: Our Favorite Budget Vacuum Is 20% Off

Amazon Deals of the Day: Our Favorite Budget Vacuum Is 20% Off

CNETa day ago
Amazon sells a vast array of products, with new ones arriving daily across many categories, including home essentials, tech and furniture. Lucky for us, the retail giant loves cutting prices as much as it loves adding new products. However, deciding which offers are worth grabbing (and which aren't) is a full-time job, but we've done the heavy lifting, hand-picking the top markdowns from the bunch.
Today, one of our favorite budget vacuums is at an even lower price, and the Eufy Security SoloCam S220 is half off for Prime members. Two Anker charging cables are also available for less than $10.
Having a solid, lightweight and powerful vacuum is pretty important. And our favorite budget vacuum, the Levoit LVAC-200, ticks all the boxes. It has 180 watts of power and easily cleans up dust, pet hair and more. The vac is cordless and has a runtime of up to 50 minutes, allowing you to clean more than one room without being tethered to an outlet. Best of all, it only weighs a little over 6 pounds, so it's easy to transport. This vacuum even has LED lights on the front to easily spot dust and dirt. Plus, it has a five-stage filtration system to trap allergens and other particulates.
This vacuum is normally $200, which is a great price for a cordless vacuum. But the cost just got even better with a 20% discount, reducing the total to $160.
If you're vacationing or simply want to keep an eye on your home while running a few errands, an outdoor security camera is essential. This Eufy outdoor security camera has a wire-free design and is super easy to set up. The camera supports 2K video for a clear view of what's happening outside your home, and night vision allows you to see every detail in the dark. The built-in AI can also distinguish between people and random objects. Custom security zones can even be set to get alerts only when there's motion where it actually matters. And it has an IP67 rating, so it won't get destroyed if it starts raining.
This camera normally costs $130, but Prime members will get a 50% price cut for a record low of $65.
With all the devices we have, it seems like we never have enough cables to charge them. And they're never long enough to reach. These two Anker USB-C cables are 6 feet long, which means you won't have to stick closely to an outlet while your phone is charging. You can easily use them from the couch or your bed. Plus, they're made of sturdy, double-braided nylon with a 5,000-bend lifespan, so they won't break easily either. They also support 60W fast charging.
One cable usually costs $7 -- and that's for the 1-foot length. But right now, you can get two 6-foot cables for just $1 more. This means each cable costs just $4.
With so many deals on Amazon, deciding which ones are worth your money can be difficult. But CNET has combed through what the world's largest online retailer has to offer, and we've gathered the best deals for you to check out.

Amazon Q2 Preview: Can AWS and Ads Outrun Tariff Trouble?

Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) will report second-quarter earnings after the bell on Thursday, July 31. Consensus forecasts call for EPS of $1.33 and revenue of $162.18 billion, implying a 10% YoY top-line increase and continued margin expansion. The stock is up just 5% YTD, but has rallied 43% since the April low and now trades about 4% below its all-time high of $242.52, set on February 4. The key swing factor remains AWS. After posting 13% growth YoY last quarter, investors will be watching closely for signs of continued acceleration and any GenAI monetization progress. Retail margin improvement is another focal point. North America posted a 6.3% operating margin last quarter, and bulls are looking for more operating leverage as cost cuts and logistics efficiencies flow through. Amazons growing ad business, which reached $13.9 billion in Q1, is also expected to remain a pillar of high-margin growth. Watch for commentary on consumer demand, international performance, and guidance for Q3, particularly as macro tailwinds fade and regulatory scrutiny intensifies. Trade pressures could also return to the forefront. Amazon previously said it would increase pricing transparency by showing U.S. consumers tariff-related charges on product pages but walked that back after backlash from the Trump administration. With baseline tariffs around 15% on imports expected in August, commentary on whether Amazon will absorb those costs or pass them on to consumers will be closely watched. Higher duties could squeeze margins in key categories like electronics and apparel. Finally, although Prime Day falls in Q3, this July marks the first time Amazon has expanded Prime Day to four days. Any color on early results or consumer response could help frame the companys third-quarter guidance and gauge broader retail strength heading into the back half of the year. Valuation remains elevated at nearly 37x forward earnings, reflecting optimism around AWS momentum and retail margin expansion. But with shares near record levels, any disappointment on cloud growth, spending trends, or tariff commentary could test investor conviction. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

This Shark Robo Vac Uses AI, and Now It's Half Off

Cleaning the floors is a chore -- plain and simple. However, a robot vacuum can help make this task much easier. The Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum is one of the standout models among the many automated options. This vacuum will keep your floors spotless while truly offering a hands-free experience. A luxury vacuum like this normally has a luxury price tag attached to it. And the Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum does, retailing for $599. However, for a limited time, Amazon has reduced the vacuum's cost to $298, an insane 50% discount. The Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum is an easy, low-maintenance robot vacuum. It has voice command, a 60-day capacity, object detection, and even 360-degree sensors. The vacuum's HEPA filtration system can capture and trap over 99% of dust and allergens, and it functions on carpets and hard floors, leaving them spotless with the "Matrix Clean Navigation" feature. This allows the vacuum to make multiple passes in an area for a thorough clean. The robot vacuum also maps your home, so it won't bump into or break anything. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. When the vacuum's battery runs low, it automatically returns to the dock to recharge. Once fully charged, it'll then pick up where it left off. Additionally, cleaning schedules can be set from your phone, so your floors get regular attention when it's most convenient. This vacuum even has voice control via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Why this deal matters This Shark's AI robot vacuum is a whopping 50% the regular price. You'd probably assume it's a record-low price, but it's not. We previously saw this vacuum reach $295. That makes this current deal only $3 more than the record low. There's no telling if the vacuum will ever return to $295, but $3 isn't a large difference. Note that this deal could expire at any time; don't miss out.

Amazon.com seeks to end lawsuit claiming rice contaminated by heavy metals

By Jonathan Stempel (Reuters) - urged a federal judge to dismiss a proposed class action over its alleged sale of rice tainted by arsenic and other "heavy metals," denying the accusation it fraudulently concealed contamination. In a filing late on Friday in Seattle federal court, Amazon said the presence of heavy metals in rice was a "decades-old, well-known issue" that was easy to discover, and the plaintiffs did not claim there were more metals than regulators allowed. Amazon also said Section 230 of the federal Communications Decency Act shields online platforms from liability over content from third parties, such as rice sellers. Lawyers for the plaintiffs did not immediately respond on Tuesday to requests for comment. The lawsuit on May 23 covered 18 types of rice sold through Amazon, including from brands such as Ben's Original and Amazon-owned Whole Foods' 365. Plaintiffs Ashley Wright and Merriman Blum said they would not have bought or would have paid less for their Iberia basmati rice, one of the products, had they known it was contaminated or Amazon never tested it for heavy metals. Exposure to heavy metals has been associated with nervous system problems, immune system suppression and kidney damage. It has also been associated with autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in young children. The lawsuit followed a study by the nonprofit Healthy Babies, Bright Futures, which found arsenic in all 145 rice samples purchased nationwide, cadmium in all but one sample, and lead and mercury in more than one-third of tested samples. The case is Wright et al v Inc, U.S. District Court, Western District of Washington, No. 25-00977. Sign in to access your portfolio
