Amazon Prime Day dates confirmed with shoppers preparing for mega deals

Amazon is holding a four-day shopping event where Prime customers will be able snap up their must-have items for bargain prices. One of the best times of the year for bargain hunters is when Amazon launches their Prime Day deals. With price cuts seen over a vast variety of products, the few days the major online retailer dedicates to discounts is the best time for shoppers to snap up items they have had their eye on for a while. From all your must-have tech - such as smartphones, TVs, tablets and more - to your homeware and gardening needs, as well as your beauty and fashion essentials, there is something in these mega sales for everyone. The added bonus is that shoppers won't even need to wait too long to bag a few bargain deals as Amazon has just released the dates of the next highly anticipated sale. And yes we did say dates, as the online retailer is spoiling shoppers with four days of exciting price cuts. From 00:01 on Tuesday, July 8, to 11:59pm on Friday, July 11, shoppers will have a whopping 96 hours of deals to scour through with all the big brand names expected to get discounts. This includes Shark, Dyson, Ninja, Lego and so much more. Now it must be emphasised that these Prime Day events are aimed at those who own an Amazon Prime Membership. While there may be the odd deal here and there that is accessible to all shoppers, those without a membership are likely to miss out on some major deals. However, it isn't all doom and gloom, as Amazon is offering a 30-day free trial for those who sign up for the Prime Membership - which can be cancelled at any time. This means if shoppers sign up, they will be able to access the epic deals at no extra cost. Additionally, members only need to pay £8.99 per month or £95 per year for the subscription and they receive added perks such as next day delivery and Prime Video. Young adults between the ages of 18 and 22 years old are also able to become Prime Members for half the price - £4.49 per month or £47.47 per year. However, for those who feel like July 8 is still too far away, Amazon currently has some cracking discounts on a variety of products that shoppers won't want to miss out on. Current Deals on Amazon ahead of Prime Day Ninja CRISPi Portable Air Fryer - was £179.99, now £124 Created with the power of a full-sized air fryer, shoppers can now buy Ninja's portable alternative for £55 off the retail price. With a 3.8L container, shoppers can feed up to six people and cook a whole 1.2kg chicken and vegetables. With four cooking functions - air fry, roast, keep warm and recrisp - this mini air fryer is perfect for those living in student halls or have smaller kitchens. With two glass cooking containers and two non-stick crisper plates, shoppers can safely clean the appliance in the dishwasher. With a 4.3 star rating, one happy shopper said: "I bought this to use in a motorhome, it did not disappoint, easy to use and clean, plus smaller to store. I only took the small glass dish which was adequate for 2 of us, as soon as I can get another small dish I will." However, one shopper disagreed with the amount of people this device could feed, writing: "This Ninja CRISPi Portable Air Fryer is good for one or maybe two people maximum but not really suitable at all for a family unit bigger than that." Shoppers can save £130 on this LG Smart TV that comes with 4K Ultra HD and an AI sound experience to provide users with a vibrant picture quality and enhanced sound to create an immersive experience for every show. Including LG's webOS smart platform, shoppers will be able access all their favourite apps such as Now, Netflix, Disney+, Twitch and Prime Video. The system also has a quick card feature which makes it easier for someone to find something to watch based on their interests. As one of Amazon's top choices, one five-star reviewer wrote: "Looks good, picture clear colours, true, sounds good, easy to set up, which for me was a relief as I'm not that tech savvy for price. Great value." However, one shopper grumbled about power lead, writing: "Bought this to mount on our bedroom wall. Power lead way too short and no way of swapping it for a longer one. Sent back for a refund. Why not just use a normal power lead like others do so you can just buy a longer one if needed." Click HERE to buy the LG 50-Inch 4K UHD Smart TV. For those in need of an upgrade on their old vacuum cleaner, Amazon is saving shoppers £100 on Shark's cordless cleaner that comes with an anti hair wrap that will pick up long, short and pet hair. With a run time of up to 40 minutes, shoppers will be able to clean their home in no time as the hoover works on both hard and carpeted floors. With LED headlights to make sure users don't miss any dirt, the cleaner also features a Flexology wand which can bend to reach anywhere. With a 4.5 star rating, one reviewer praised: "I am very impressed with my purchase. Most of my home is carpeted and previous cordless models have been pretty useless. Find this to be very good suction, easy to manoeuvre and fold, like how it will automatically change to hard floors in kitchen and bathroom without me having to alter switches." Another shopper also said: "Very good but heavier than I thought, battery lasts about 30 mins but does charge up quite quickly." Samsung Galaxy Fit3 - was £59, now £41 Down to only £41, the Galaxy Fit3 comes with a bright 1.6-inch AMOLED display and is equipped with all your must-have smart watch features - such as a heart rate monitor, steps counter and how many calories users burn in a day. A major plus for this watch is that it boasts an impressive 13 day battery life and supports over 100 different activities. Additionally, users will be kept in the loop as the watch will receive instant notifications so shoppers can check their texts and social media. Over 3,000 Amazon shoppers have bought this fitness tracker in the last 30 days, with one shopper praising: "I bought the Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 just a few days ago, and I genuinely haven't taken it off since. Sleek, lightweight, and surprisingly comfortable, this tracker has completely exceeded my expectations — especially at this price point." On the flip side, another shopper noted: "In terms of fitness features, the watch didn't detect when I was working out even though I has the automatic detection setting on. I'd sometimes get notifications that my HR was high during watch really didn't know what I was doing." Click HERE to buy the Samsung Galaxy Fit3. Kärcher K 2 Power Control Home Pressure Washer - was £149.99, now £108.99 For those who want to make sure their garden and other outdoor spaces are nice and clean for any future gatherings this summer, Amazon has reduced the price of the popular Karcher Pressure Washer.

With over 9,000 ratings, one shopper said: "If you have a patio, you need this. Cleaned mine in minutes. Amazing product. Light but powerful." However, another shopper cautioned: "Use it to clean the car , driveway bricks, concrete, stone. Works pretty well for the price. Happy with it. But if you want something more powerful that can do the job a bit quicker, I suggest you look around for something else. This one can be a little slow but it gets there in the end."

Pro Breeze Bladeless Tower Fan - was £89.99, now £50 With summer finally here and a heatwave on the horizon, many shoppers are looking for ways to keep cool while working from home or during the night.

Many shoppers were impressed with the tower fan, as one said: "Coming up to those hot months, and this is the best fan I have bought. Very easy to use, very sturdy. I'll be back for a third if I get a bigger place!" However one shopper complained about the remote, writing: "It's a great fan, worked straight out the box with good air flow however, the small issue I have with it is that the remote controller for the fan is way too extremely narrow. If you are not holding the remote perfectly dead centre it just will not work at all, which is hard to do when the fan is rotating." Click HERE to buy the Pro Breeze Bladeless Tower Fan.
