Prime Day is just around the corner… but you don't have to wait until July to score some great deals on Amazon. The retailer is offering discounts on dozens of our favorite brands, including Dyson and Hydroflask, and you don't need to be an Amazon Prime member to take advantage of the savings. According to the experts at our Memorial Day Shopping Guide, if you've been eyeing new appliances, mattresses, or sheet sets, now's the time to buy.
As a reporter for NBC Select, I've covered a lot of holiday sales and product specials over the years. I now have an eye for which discounts are worth your time and which are just gimmicks. Here are some of the former:
We'll update this list with new deals through Memorial Day, May 27. Prices and availability may change throughout the week.

Best Amazon Memorial Day 2024 deals to shop now
We combined products featured in previous reports, editors' favorites, and top-rated best-selling products on Amazon with an average rating of four stars or higher.
Top selling home appliances
Roborock Q5+ Robot Vacuum Cleaner
Average rating of 4.4 stars from 5,393 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
This is one of our favorite robot vacuums, and this model comes with an automatic dust dock that automatically stores away dirt and debris. According to the brand, the robot can intelligently map your home (including multiple floors) by itself during setup. Through the app, you can set up no-go zones, schedule cleaning, and customize routines. Roborock says the robot will also automatically return to its base station when it needs to charge or empty the dust bin.
Bissell Little Green Machine Cleaner
Average rating of 4.5 stars from 80,185 reviews on Amazon
That's not the cheapest price we've seen for this cleaner, but we included it here because it's an NBC Select Pet Award winner and an expert-recommended portable carpet cleaner. NBC Select Updates Editor Miri Goddio has been using the cleaner for years on her carpets and upholstered furniture, and it comes in handy when her 16-pound Habashon brings dirt into the house. “It's amazing how much of a difference in color you can see after using it, especially when cleaning carpets,” Goddio says.
Traeger Grills Pro 22 Electric Wood Pellet Grill & Smoker
Average rating of 4.6 stars from 1,796 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
Grilling experts say Traeger makes the best pellet grills. This electric model can be used as a grill, smoker, roaster, and barbecue. It's the smallest and lowest-priced model in Traeger's line, making it perfect for beginners who don't want to deal with gas or charcoal. It has 572 square inches of cooking area, which the brand says translates to about four chickens or five ribs in food. If you need more space, the Grillz Pro 34 is larger and similar, and is also on sale.
Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
Average rating of 4.3 stars from 2,312 reviews on Amazon
Dyson makes some of the best vacuums for a variety of floors, including hardwood and carpet. This model is one of Dyson's least expensive models, but it comes with a large head that can pick up dirt on any floor, a crevice nozzle for hard-to-reach places, and more. You can easily turn it into a handheld vacuum by removing the center pole, which is what I often do when cleaning my couch.
It may not have all the bells and whistles that newer versions have (like an LED screen or illuminated dustlight), but it costs a lot less.
Dewalt 20V Max Cordless Drill and Impact Driver Kit
Average rating of 4.4 stars from 15,980 reviews on Amazon
This top-of-the-line tool kit includes two essentials: a cordless drill and a cordless impact driver, plus two batteries, a charging station, and a big bag to store it all. The drill has a 300-watt motor and two speeds, while the impact driver has a try-able speed built into the trigger. The 20V battery can also be used with other 20V Dewalt tools you already own.
Dyson Purifier Cool Gen1 Air Purifier Fan
Average rating of 4.2 stars from 358 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
Why do you need one air purifier and one fan when you can have both? This Dyson Tower draws in unfiltered air through its entire base and blows clean air out throughout your space. The fan rotates nearly 360 degrees, which is handy if you want to place it in a corner or in the middle of a room. It also has a night mode that keeps the fan at its quietest speed.
Best Deals on Mattresses and Bedding
Tuft & Needle Original Foam Mattress
Average rating of 4.3 stars from 16,012 reviews on Amazon
Tuft & Needle makes one of our favorite cooling pillows. This brand's mattress is also perfect for people who get hot easily, and according to Tuft & Needle, it's filled with breathable foam, cooling gel, and thermally conductive graphite. It's a medium-firm mattress made for back and stomach sleepers and has a removable, breathable top cover.
Tempur Cloud Pillow
Average rating of 4.3 stars from 6,478 reviews on Amazon
According to the brand, this memory foam pillow is soft and conforms to your body, making it ideal for back and stomach sleepers. It's made from a single piece of memory foam that's about 5 inches tall and is encased in a hypoallergenic, machine washable polyester knit pillowcase.
Best Home Sales
Blueair Blue 311i Max Air Purifier
Average rating of 4.5 stars from 9,697 reviews on Amazon
I have the 311i+ version of this quiet air purifier and have been using it in my bedroom for years for seasonal allergies and cat dander. The 311i Max has a removable, machine washable fabric cover that catches larger dust particles and lint. Using the Blueair app, I set the purifier to an automatic schedule, switching it to quiet night mode from 9pm to 9am.
Hydro Flask All Around Travel Tumbler
Average rating of 4.7 stars from 5,001 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
This large water bottle is always at NBC Select Associate News Editor Zoe Marin's side, taking it to work in the morning and to workout class in the evening. “I love the soft straw and how the top pops off easily when I need to refill,” Marin says. The bottle is dishwasher safe and has temperature control for hot and cold drinks.
Bagsmart Hanging Toiletry Bag
Average rating of 4.8 stars from 53,829 reviews on Amazon
This hanging bag is perfect as both a toiletry bag and a makeup organizer; NBC Select editor Miri Goddio uses it for both when the need arises. It has plenty of compartments and folds up small, making it easy to pack in your carry-on, she says.
Best Technology Sales
Apple iPad Air (5th generation) (256GB)
Average rating of 4.8 stars from 13,021 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
Apple's fifth-generation iPad Air is now at its lowest price ever, likely due to the company releasing a new iPad earlier this month. The iPad Air is one of my favorite tablets. It has a bright screen, loud stereo speakers on each side, and is fast enough to handle any task. Plus, it's compact and easy to carry around.
While the cheaper 64GB version may be out of stock, this upgraded 256GB is still available on Amazon.
Roku Streaming Stick 4K
Average rating of 4.7 stars from 74,807 reviews on Amazon
I've used a lot of streaming devices, but Roku has always been the easiest to install and use, which is why it's the first choice I recommend to friends and family, especially those who aren't tech savvy. NBC Select Editorial Operations Manager Shari Uyehara and I use Roku to watch our favorite streaming services.
Sony WH-1000XM4 Over-Ear Headphones
Average rating of 4.6 stars from 55,894 reviews on Amazon
Winner of an NBC Select Giftable Tech Award, these over-ear headphones offer the perfect balance of sound quality, portability, battery life, and value. Whatever you watch or listen to, every instrument sounds balanced and detailed. Touch controls on the earcups are simple and responsive, and the headphones fold up and store in a travel-friendly hard case.
Garmin Vivoactive 5
Average rating of 4.4 stars from 1,362 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
This Garmin watch strikes the right balance between fitness tracker and smartwatch. Like other Garmin watches, it tracks a wealth of health and fitness data, including heart rate, daily steps, sleep score, fitness activity, running details, and GPS data. It also displays notifications, controls music, and lets you make contactless payments. It has a colorful display and boasts a battery life of up to 11 days, according to the brand.
Apple Airpods (2nd generation)
Average rating of 4.7 stars from 614,990 reviews on Amazon
AirPods are everywhere, and there's a reason why. For iPhone owners, AirPods are one of the most convenient wireless earbuds. They pair easily across Apple devices and support Apple features like voice control with Siri. They also have a semi-open fit, with rubber ear tips that don't block your ear canal. They're comfortable, but they don't offer noise isolation or noise canceling capabilities. The brand claims that the combined battery life of the earbuds and charging case is more than 24 hours.
Best Beauty & Health Sale
Elta MD UV Sports Sunscreen Lotion
Average rating of 4.7 stars from 10,139 reviews on Amazon
This is one of the best sunscreens out there, especially for those looking for a mineral sunscreen that is gentle on acne-prone skin and rosacea. Goddio, who has rosacea, thought she was allergic to all sunscreens before trying this sunscreen, but this product doesn't irritate her skin at all. The product is non-comedogenic, oil-free, and fragrance-free.
Revlon One Step Volumizer Plus 2.0
Average rating of 4.6 stars from 480,890 reviews on Amazon
The 1.0 version of this tool is one of our favorite hair dryers because it can handle the tasks of drying, brushing, and styling your hair all at the same time. According to the brand, the large oval brush has vents all over it, alongside nylon and tufted bristles designed for detangling and adding volume. It has four heat settings (cold, low, medium-high) and needs to be plugged in to use.
Aidalls Wellup 5-in-1 Electric Head Shaver
Average rating of 4.3 stars from 22,306 reviews on Amazon
Recommended by experts, this cordless head shaver comes with six rotating blades that can be used for both wet and dry shaving, so you can even use it in the shower if you want. It comes with four extra attachments, including a nose hair trimmer, cleansing brush, precision trimmer, and massage brush. According to the brand, it can last up to 90 minutes on a single charge.
