With the news that the next Amazon Prime Day is set to take place on June 23 - 26, my eyes are now glued to the retailer, hunting down all of the best early deals I find ahead of the big sale. There are several offers on laptops, appliances, soundbars, and more tech that I recommend already, which I've narrowed down to the 18 top picks below.

Highlights include this low price for the Oral-B i O2 Electric Toothbrush at £44.99 (was £100), a solid price cut on the excellent Sonos Beam (Gen 2) down to £359 (was £449), and the popular Ninja Slushi for a record-low price of £199 (was £299.99) — great timing on that with all the hot weather lately.

Meanwhile, for the gamers, Sony is in the middle of its latest Days of Play event, which means discounts on everything from popular releases and subscriptions to hardware and accessories. The standout offer from everything to me is the Play Station 5 Dual Sense Controller for £44.99 (was £64.99), as this is one of the lowest prices I've seen for a new pad.

There are also some freebies available for Prime members already, including extended trials of Audible, Music Unlimited, and Kindle Unlimited. Be sure to check those out if you're a fan of books or music and you've not subscribed to any of the services before.

The rest of the Tech Radar team and I will also be on hand once Prime Day starts later this month.

18 of the best deals at Amazon UK ahead of Prime Day

Audible membership: free for three months at Audible Audible is Amazon's premier storefront for audiobooks, with a vast library of over 1 million titles. Right now, as part of an early Amazon Prime Day promotion, Prime members can get a full three months of membership on the house! Normally costing £5.99, the standard membership includes unlimited access to the non-Plus library and one free book token per month.

If you want a cheap and basic Bluetooth speaker, then you can't go wrong with this Anker Soundcore for under £25. Sure, it's not going to give you the biggest and boldest audio quality, but it's still a solid option at an affordable price. Battery life is an impressive 24 hours, too, so it's great to use around the home or take it with you when on the go.

Sony is in the middle of its 2026 Days of Play sale, so it's dropped the price of several Dual Sense Controllers. The cheapest of the lot is the standard white version, but you can also find offers on more expressive colours such as black, red, blue, pink, and even limited-edition variants, including the Marathon, Genshin Impact, and Ghost of Yotei designs.

Display - 16 inches Processor - Intel Core i 5 RAM - 16GB Storage - 512GB

This is a great price for a relatively modern laptop that comes with a well-performing Intel Core i 5 CPU. On top of that, you get 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD for storage, and incredible battery life, which represents good value for money overall. It's slightly larger with the 16-inch display, which could hamper portability, but it's a solid everyday machine for the price.

This second-generation Sonos Beam soundbar is an older model, but this considerable discount drops it to within £20 of its Black Friday price. Even with its age, it's still a great offer for a compact and stylish soundbar that also drops the subwoofer for another space-saving measure. It offers easy integration with the wider Sonos ecosystem if you want a larger home theater system, and Dolby Atmos support provides a more immersive experience when watching movies. We also found it's great at playing music in our Sonos Beam (Gen 2) review, so it's a good choice if you need an all-in-one soundbar for multiple uses.

I was looking for some longer USB-C to USB-C cables to make playing my Steam Deck while it's charging a lot easier, and this two-pack of 6ft cables from Anker looks like exactly what I'm after. These good-length and well-made cables come from a solid brand and support super-fast charging on compatible devices, too, so what's not to like for under £10?

This weather makes an ice-cold drink extremely appealing right now, and the unique Ninja Slushi just fell back to its Black Friday price at Amazon. This kitchen appliance makes all sorts of chilled and frozen drinks, including juices, cocktails, milkshakes, and more. We loved it in our Ninja Slushi review, praising its ability to make quick and delicious drinks easily in a fun and entertaining package.

If you need a cheap and cheerful printer, this Desk Jet 2921 is a great budget choice that supports wireless printing, scanning, and copying. This bundle also includes three months of HP Instant Ink, so you can save cash on your first few rounds of prints.

The i O range is usually a more expensive option in Oral-B's range of electric toothbrushes, but this is a decent deal on the entry-level option – although I have seen it for at least £10 cheaper in the past. It doesn't boast many high-end features, but it has the basic ones you really need to brush your teeth effectively and efficiently, including a two-minute timer, three brushing modes, and a visible pressure sensor. Plus, you get a bonus travel case and refill holder included for free.

The Shark Detect Clean & Empty Cordless Vacuum offers convenient automation features and versatile cleaning technology, including a special brushroll that works on both hardwood and carpeted surfaces. Its self-emptying dock doubles as a charging station, which makes it easy to keep fully charged, even though it runs for up to 60 minutes at full battery. For under £200, it's hard to pass up such a high-tech and highly rated vacuum.

Here's a record-low price for a solid budget graphics card. If you're building a gaming PC to run modern titles in 60fps at 1080p, then this is definitely up to the task. You could even push to 1440p on lower settings or on certain, less-demanding games. Given the wild prices for some PC components right now, this is a great buy while it's available.

It's not the most glamorous deal, but this is a good price for a set of 24 batteries at Amazon from the big-name brand Duracell. These are always a handy buy for a variety of tech items and gadgets, so now's a great time to stock up while they're on offer.

Display - 13 inches Processor - Snapdragon X Plus RAM - 16GB Storage - 512GB

The latest Microsoft Surface Laptop shot straight to the top of our best laptop guide and received a glowing five-star in our Microsoft Surface Laptop review, so I'm obviously going to call out this solid saving at Amazon. This particular specification includes a powerful Snapdragon X Plus processor, a healthy 16GB of RAM and a reasonable 512GB SSD. That storage feels a little light for the price, but the levels of performance and battery life from the CPU are top-tier to go alongside the swish-looking display and keyboard.

Ninja's recent space-saving air fryer is down to within £30 of the record-low price, which is a steal for the popular and well-rated appliance. We loved it at Tech Radar, scoring it full marks in our Ninja Double Stack Air Fryer review and even putting it in our best air fryer buying guide. Well-built and great-looking on any countertop, it offers five cooking levels across two drawers and two racks, while the 9.5L capacity is ideal for medium to big families.

The Philips One Blade 360 is a quick, simple and affordable electric razor that's suitable for a wide variety of face and body grooming needs. It's now down within £7 of the lowest price I've ever seen, making it a great buy. Even more so, as this bundle includes the handle as well as two spare blades, a comb and body kit, and a USB-A charging cable to give you everything you need.

If you want a standard-sized monitor for the home office, then this is a great price for a 22-inch display that supports a full HD 1080p resolution and a speedy 100 Hz refresh rate. That gets you more clarity and a smoother experience when working, which you'll appreciate when working long hours. And even though it'll work fine enough for gaming, it's not really best suited for it, so I'd look elsewhere if that's your aim.

Display - 15 inches Processor - Intel Core i 7 RAM - 32GB Storage - 1TB Graphics - RTX 5070

This is a good deal on a mid-to-high-end gaming laptop that sports a solid RTX 5070 graphics card. Combine that with the Intel Core i 7 and 32GB of RAM, and you have a capable all-arounder that can comfortably handle most games in 1080p, or even 1440p, with decent settings. I like that there's a 165 Hz OLED screen, too, which offers brighter, sharper and smoother images.
