As a home shopping editor, I search for the best products, trends, and deals on a daily basis. So when Amazon officially announced the dates of its annual Prime Day sale event, I immediately jumped online to hunt for some early deals to add to my cart. Even though Amazon Prime Day is taking place on Tuesday, July 12 and Wednesday, July 13, the retailer is sure to quietly drop discounts on thousands of must-have items ahead of time.
This year, I'm creating a list of the can't-miss items I plan on shopping for Prime Day. I've already spotted hundreds of discounts on the site, including electronics, kitchen appliances, and furniture. And while I could easily score deals on a new TV or pricey cookware, my sights are set on the home essentials I'll need to enjoy hot summer days—including cooling bed sheets, outdoor string lights, and oscillating tower fans.
Looking to get ahead of the Prime Day rush? Shop the 10 deals I plan on adding to my cart before the two-day sale event. Below, snag discounts up to 55% off on robot vacuums, cooling pillows, weeding tools, and more.
Large home appliances like vacuums and air fryers are highly sought after items during Prime Day. Instead of waiting for the online rush, I'm taking advantage of this early deal on the iRobot Roomba robot vacuum for $94 off. It has a three-stage cleaning system and a smart navigation system that you can control with a tap of your phone or a call to Alexa.
The summer heat seems to be hitting harder now than in years past. That's why I'm jumping on this deal on an oscillating tower fan for $65. It was awarded "best tower fan" in our testing lab because of its powerful three fan speeds, quiet-operation, and space-saving structure.
My bath towels have seen better days, so I'm adding this best-selling six-piece set that's currently 53% off. The towels are made of 100% Turkish cotton and shoppers say they're soft, fluffy, and "incredibly absorbent." And the set's available in 16 colors.
Sleeping on hot summer nights is difficult to say the least—but this cooling memory foam pillow just might be the solution to staying sweat-free. It's filled with shredded cooling gel memory foam inside a breathable, hypoallergenic cover that's designed to keep you supported and comfortable. It comes with extra filling, so you can add or remove it to your preferred loft—and it's 55% off right now.
Summer is the time for beach days, gardening, and long hikes, but all of that outdoor debris is likely to track inside your home. That's why I'm buying this steam mop that can rid my floors of dirt and grime without chemicals. Grab it now for $34 off.
The secret to a beautiful yard is keeping it free of aggressive weeds. This multiuse gardening tool can not only remove weeds from their roots, but it can also till soil, transfer bulbs, and cut small branches to maintain your lawn's lush quality. And at just $19, it's a totally guilt-free purchase.
Another hot summer solution, these bamboo sheets have earned a spot in my cart because they're naturally cooling and sustainably made. The ultra-soft sheets are moisture-wicking and thermoregulating to prevent you from overheating through the night. Plus, many of the 15 colors come with double discounts thanks to a coupon applied at checkout.
Sprucing up any patio is easy with a set of outdoor string lights. You can enjoy these outdoor string lights season after season thanks to their weather-resistant, shatterproof, and waterproof design. Get them for $38 when you click the coupon before you add it to your cart.
I'm constantly testing sheets, blankets, and towels, and my small apartment is struggling to handle my overstock supply. So I'm grabbing these 33% off storage bags to stow my extra linens and off-season clothing. The three-piece large fabric bins can hold up to one king size comforter, six blankets, or 35 pieces of clothing per bag.
I love houseplants because they instantly dress up indoor and outdoor spaces. I've been eyeing a large palm for a while because they're sun-loving and can withstand summer temperatures up to 80 degrees. With a 33% discount, I'm buying two for my living room and outdoor balcony.
