Clixo Rainbow Pack (42-Piece) — Gift Pick
Amazon deal price: $48 ; street price: $60
What we like: A magnetic building toy gift pick for 5-year-olds. Like Magna-Tiles but bendy. Flexible magnetic pieces bend to form curved structures and jointed, movable creations (instead of castles and cubes). Pieces snap together with a satisfying click.
Other things to know: The 42-piece pack has a variety of brightly colored, differently shaped pieces. Pieces stack together for efficient cleanup. Recurring deal.

Viofo A229 Pro Dash Cam (2-Channel) — Top Pick
Amazon deal price: $240 ; street price: $340
What we like: Our top dash cam pick delivers crisp, super-high-res 4K footage day and night. Offers 24-hour parked-car monitoring, GPS, and voice control. Heat-friendly supercapacitor instead of a battery. Able to read other cars' license plates in the widest variety of conditions.
Other things to know: 2.4-inch screen. Easy to install and use with feature-filled app. MicroSD card recommended but not included (you'll need about 25 GB of storage per hour of footage).

Witchcraft! Board Game — Top Pick
Amazon deal price: $20 ; street price: $24
What we like: A card-placement top pick in our solo board game guide. Puts you in the role of a coven of witches in a fictional 18th-century town. Your goal is to protect your neighbors from eldritch horrors without being convicted of witchcraft. Fairly straightforward but adds a layer of theming and design that brings more immersion and choice.
Other things to know: Games take about 30 minutes.

CosRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence — Staff Pick
Amazon deal price: $13; street price: $18
What we like: A clear snail mucin concentrate we like that smooths and soothes. Made of 96% snail-secretion filtrate. Thicker than a watery essence, more like a serum. Absorbs quickly. One or two pumps hydrates and primes skin, creating a glassy K-beauty complexion. Doesn't pill under makeup.
Other things to know: Yes, this is the sticky stuff secreted by live snails. Studies suggest snail mucin may improve skin's overall hydration, texture, and elasticity. The gloopy texture and animal origins may be turnoffs for some. Deal is fine for a single bottle; however, we have seen better value on deals on the two-pack.

Herschel Classic Backpack XL — Top Pick
Woot deal price: $40 (deal on navy or ash rose); street price: $65
What we like: Our top pick for the best classic backpack for college and high school students. An unfussy, functional bag with retro-inspired styling. Extra-roomy. Straps are flexible, nicely padded, and easy to adjust. Durable fabric is made from recycled post-consumer water bottles.
Other things to know: No organizational features. Laptop sleeve offers minimal protection. Somewhat water-resistant. Comfy, but not the most ergonomic. Herschel recently issued a slightly larger redesigned version, but we haven't tested yet. A decent drop on neutral color options. Available in as rose for $37, or navy for $40.

Chef'n FreshForce Citrus Press Juicer — Our Pick
Amazon deal price: $13 (deal on green); street price: $20
What we like: Our pick for the best citrus juice squeezer. Thanks to its unique ergonomic design, it outperformed other models we tested when it came to ease of use and overall experience. Dual-pressure geared hinge takes the load off of your arms and hands. Built-in strainer keeps seeds at bay.
Other things to know: Made of heavy plastic, with an unpainted metal cup. Most of the bartenders we interviewed preferred hand press juicers to other models. Too small to fit an orange or a grapefruit. Available at the deal price in green.

Braun MultiQuick 7 Immersion Hand Blender MQ7035 — Top Pick
Amazon deal price: $75; street price: $100
What we like: Our top immersion blender pick. Offers better control over blending soup and smoothies. Powerful motor and a unique blade. Easy to adjust speed with a firm press of the control button. Comfortable to use one-handed. Outperformed more expensive Braun models in our tests.
Other things to know: Comes with whisk and chopping attachments, but they require some finesse.

Anisa Pinnacle Foundation Brush — Worth Considering
Amazon deal price: $27; street price: $38
What we like: Another foundation brush worth considering. A favorite of some panelists. Has quality bristles and the density for blending out cream and liquid foundation. Unusual triangular domed brush head was good for getting into corners, but was also wide enough to cover larger areas.
Other things to know: The weighted handle was controversial among our testers: Some loved the tapered, grabbable shape, while others found it too big and bulky.

FHI Heat UNbrush — Staff Pick
Amazon deal price: $10 (deal on yellow); street price: $16
What we like: A buzzy-worthy hairbrush that's actually a great detangler. Lightweight. Square head with bristles aligned in even rows allows hair to travel through straight pathways no matter the angle at which you hold the brush. Works through tangles gently with minimal scalp tugging.
Other things to know: Won't magically detangle your hair, but it will make the process less painful. On the pricier side. Deal price available in sunburst yellow.

Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Original Patch (216-Count) — Staff Pick
Woot deal price: $25 (use promo code SAVETEN, free shipping for Prime members); street price: $60
What we like: A quick pimple remedy we like in our drugstore beauty guide. Round, translucent hydrocolloid stickers. Help heal zits and prevent below-the-surface pimples from erupting by absorbing fluid and protecting blemishes from bacteria.
Other things to know: Also a useful reminder if you have trouble keeping hands off a pimple. Not as fun as cuter, more sticker-y options out there, but very effective. Deal is for three packs of 72 patches (216 total). Ships free for Prime members, use promo code SAVETEN to get the best deal price.

Paddywax Zapper Electric Candle Lighter — Staff Pick
Amazon deal price: $14 (with clipped on-page coupon, deal on gold); street price: $27
What we like: A sleek-looking flameless lighter staff pick. Rechargeable. Like other electric lighters, produces an arc of hot plasma instead of an actual flame, so it can't 'blow out' like traditional lighters or matches do in wind.
Other things to know: Nearly identical to the Suprus lighter, our staff favorite, but typically costs more and charges via Micro-USB cable (included) rather than USB-C. Deal price available for gold with clipped on-page coupon.

EcoFlow Delta 2 Max Portable Power Station — Worth Considering
Amazon deal price: $900; street price: $1,400
What we like: A portable power station worth considering with a longer warranty than our upgrade pick's. Visually identical to our upgrade pick. Has six grounded AC outlets, two USB-C ports, and two USB-A ports. Comes with cables to recharge itself from a wall outlet, car power socket, or solar panel. Sturdily built, with two ergonomic handles for lifting, a flat top for stacking, and protective rubber feet.
Other things to know: Slightly heavier than our upgrade pick at 50.7 pounds. Rated capacity of 2,048 Wh and rated output of 1,800 W. Made by a brand we trust with good customer support. Backed by a five-year warranty.

Women's Whitney Weejuns Loafers — Guest Pick
deal price: $100 (deal on black/white or whiskey/white); street price: $150
What we like: A pair of old-school loafers recommended as a wardrobe staple by RHONYC star Jenna Lyons, former president and executive creative director of She loves adding a loafer to dress up an outfit, and recommended this pair from 'old-school' brand Bass, established in 1876. They're hand-stitched, with a leather sole, and come in many colors.
Other things to know: If you buy loafers, "buy a pair of really good ones and break them in,' Lyons told us. These can be resoled, which means they can have a long life in your wardrobe. We've seen them in plain black for less, but the black/white and whiskey/white colorways are notably stylish. (They are also available for $100 in navy and tan, although those colors are FINAL SALE).

The majority of Prime Day deals will end at midnight PT on Friday, July 11. However, that's not the case for every deal. Some shorter-run deals, like lightning deals, have already come to an end. Other deals will sell out before their slated end time, effectively ending them for shoppers hoping to snag a discount.
We've also observed that some deals last beyond the official end of the Prime Day event. These are often Amazon algorithmic price matches that weren't intended to be part of the official Prime sale, but went on sale anyway when another retailer dropped a competing discount.
If you're certain you need a product and you're comfortable with the sale price, buying sooner rather than later can help hedge against early-ending sale pricing or sellouts.
Here are all of the best Amazon Prime Day deals, as curated by Wirecutter's meticulous team of journalists.
Out of the hundreds of deals we've shared, these 44 deals have been the most popular with Wirecutter readers.
With these Wirecutter-approved picks under $100, you don't have to spend a lot to get a good deal this Amazon Prime Day.
