While there are several thousand products discounted for Prime Day 2026, most of them aren’t what we’d call winners. We’ve already gathered the best Prime Day deals in our main roundup, but we’re dedicating this page to discounts on Verge-favorite items to help you find useful gear, whether it’s tech-adjacent or not. We’re covering Prime Day 2026 from every angle, including finding the best deals on Apple products, and deep discounts on some of our favorite robot vacuums.

Logitech has a very specific market in mind for the MX Master 3S. This is a mouse that’s meant for office and productivity work, where practical considerations are more important than 360 no scopes. Used for that purpose, it works quietly and feels great, thanks to its amazing scroll wheel, sculpted design, and ever-helpful secondary scroll wheel. Just be prepared to pick up an inexpensive USB extender if you run into any latency issues. — Jon Porter, senior reviewer

Eero’s Pro 6E mesh router is the Amazon-owned company’s last-gen model. It supports the 6GHz Wi-Fi band with speeds of up to 1.3 Gbps and covers up to 2,000 square feet with one unit. Wired speeds can go up to 2.5 Gbps. Read our review.

The tri-band Eero Pro 6E (

299to299 to
699) is another leap forward in home Wi-Fi for the company that popularized mesh Wi-Fi systems. And the Pro 6E certainly delivers. I saw significantly faster speeds over the previous generation Eero Pro 6 in my tests. But I also saw some network drop-offs, which Eero says is an issue around the Thread implementation — a key part of support for the coming smart home standard Matter that Eero has committed to. — Jennifer Pattison Tuohy, senior reviewer

For the past few years, the Instant Pot has been a staple in my kitchen. From making rice to slow-cooking stews and even frying up chicken, it can do just about anything. The best part is that the Instant Pot can cook most recipes in a fraction of the time it would take in the oven or on the stove. Rice, for example, takes just six minutes to cook (not counting the amount of time it takes to build pressure), and there’s no fussing with covering the pot or adjusting the heat. Sometimes, it’s just easier — and much less stressful — to let the Instant Pot take the wheel. — Emma Roth, news writer

I’ve used the Scape at work and while playing games, and it’s among the best that I’ve ever tested in this price range. The fit and finish are impressive for a first-gen device from a company with no lineage in audio hardware. Its sleek design comes in gray or black, with minimal LEDs that add a subtle glow around the bottom edge of the ear cups (these are the first LEDs in a headset I haven’t wanted to immediately switch off). It has a chunkier version of Apple’s Digital Crown on the back of its left ear cup. The knob controls volume and can be clicked to pause and resume content (double- or triple-clicking skips and reverses songs, respectively). — Cameron Faulkner, commerce editor

My partner and I were coming back from dinner with a friend the other night, and as the bus roared away, he suddenly realized his wallet was no longer in his back pocket. We called the MTA the next day and were able to drive over to the local bus depot and pick it up — and the next day, I ordered a Tile Slim for him. I’ve actually been using Tile trackers for my own keys and wallet for a couple of years now, and so as nice as the folks at the MTA were, hopefully, my partner’s new Tile Slim will ensure it’s our last visit there. — Barbara Krasnoff, former reviews editor

The gist is this: It’s a small battery pack with jumper cables, which means you can use its power to jump-start your car instead of having to connect a jumper cable from another car’s battery to yours, then start the other car, wait for a few minutes, and hope your car starts… I’d heard about gadgets like the Noco Boost GB40 for years, and I’ve seen my share of them on gift guides, but I’d never purchased one. It’s supereasy to use and, thankfully, comes with a partial charge… The device has a flashlight, too, in case you ever need to jump a car at night, and it can charge a phone over USB-C. I didn’t test that, so I’m not sure how fast it charges a phone — but it should work if I’m in a bind. — Todd Haselton, Deputy Editor Reviews and Commerce

I try to bring a Bluetooth speaker everywhere with me when the weather’s good. A pool party, a park day, a golf outing, a hang on the back patio — it’s all better with music! There are obviously lots of good speakers out there, but for me, the UE Wonderboom 4 is the perfect one. It’s only

100,itssmallbutloudenoughtoworkjustaboutanywhere,itsbatterylastsalldayandthensome,itswaterproof,anditfloats.(Allthecolorslooknice,bytheway,butgettheblueone.)Therearefancierspeakerswithmorefeatures,andthe100, it’s small but loud enough to work just about anywhere, its battery lasts all day and then some, it’s waterproof, and it floats. (All the colors look nice, by the way, but… get the blue one.) There are fancier speakers with more features, and the
200 Megaboom does sound a lot better, but I keep a Wonderboom in my trunk, and it has made me the party hero more times than I can count. — David Pierce, editor-at-large

My primary filter is the Life Straw cartridge because it has an integrated quick-connect adapter that easily snaps into the Go jug’s CPC coupler. It features two stages of filtration. The hollow fiber filter physically removes bacteria and protozoa that cause diseases, as well as dirt and microplastics, and has a lifespan of 4,000 liters (1,000 gallons). Meanwhile, the activated carbon filter removes things like odd tastes and smells. It has a lifespan of just 100 liters (25 gallons), and a two-pack of replacements can be had for $13 a pop. — Thomas Ricker, Deputy Editor

The Roborock Q10 S5 Plus has many high-end features, including good obstacle detection and navigation, as well as automatic carpet detection. It also lifts its mop pad 8mm to go over rugs, none of which are features you’ll find in other bots at this price. My main caution with this robot is that it is very wide, so it is not great for more cluttered homes, but it will do well in open-plan spaces. — Jennifer Pattison Tuohy, senior reviewer

For a fairly affordable Chromebook that’s still solid, stick with the tried-and-true Asus Chromebook Plus CX34 for about $400. It’s got an older 12th-gen Intel processor, 8GB of RAM, and a basic 1080p screen. But it’s one of the cheapest Chromebooks around with the “Plus” designation, meaning it’s one of The Good Ones. — Antonio G. Di Benedetto, Reviewer, Laptops

When looking at Nothing’s Ear (a) earbuds, it’s easy to focus all your attention on the catchy yellow color or their fun, super compact carrying case. But at their $99 price, the company’s entry-level earbuds provide a ton of features, including active noise cancellation, a low-latency mode for gaming, multipoint Bluetooth pairing, and a decent IP54 dust- and water-resistance rating. — Chris Welch, former Senior Reviewer

Kodak’s hybrid Mini Shot 3 Retro is all about fun. The camera’s accompanying mobile app lets you apply frames, stickers, filters, and a wide range of customization options to photos, making it great for scrapbooking. There’s even a beauty feature in the app to conceal blemishes, as well as a set of Snapchat-like filters you can use to add, say, dog ears, making it a fun instant camera to use as a mini photo booth of sorts at parties. — Sheena Vasani, Commerce Writer

If you mostly buy ebooks from Amazon, you’ll want a Kindle, and the 12th-gen Kindle Paperwhite is the best choice for most people. It’s

70cheaperthantheKoboLibraColourmytopnonAmazonereaderyetoffersmanyofthesamefeatures,includingaspacious7inch300pidisplaywithrichcontrastlevels.UnlikeAmazonsentrylevelKindle,italsofeaturesIPX8waterresistanceandanadjustablewarmfrontlightthatreducesbluelight,whichmayinterruptmelatoninproduction.The70 cheaper than the Kobo Libra Colour — my top non-Amazon e-reader — yet offers many of the same features, including a spacious 7-inch 300pi display with rich contrast levels. Unlike Amazon’s entry-level Kindle, it also features IPX8 water resistance and an adjustable warm frontlight that reduces blue light, which may interrupt melatonin production. The
199.99 Signature Edition Paperwhite also supports wireless charging, a rare feature in an e-reader. — Sheena Vasani, Commerce Writer

For most people, a gaming mouse only really needs to be good at pointing and clicking on an enemy’s head. But for anyone who plays MMORPGs like World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy XIV, if you can add a bunch of buttons to your mouse, that’s free keybindings, baby. There are tons of mice out there with an entire keypad’s worth of thumb buttons — the Razer Naga pioneered the genre. I’ve tried all of them, and the Corsair Scimitar RGB Elite is the best. It’s the one that feels best in my hand — partly because you can adjust the position of the number pad, which is important during long raids and dungeons. — Jackie Thomas

The Sonos Five isn’t just Sonos’ best-sounding speaker; it’s at the top of the pack compared to all competitors. From an audio quality perspective, it beats the Home Pod, the latest Echo Studio, and other mass market speakers — both those that are smart and not. Can you find better hi-fi bookshelf speakers? Absolutely, but those aren’t natively tied into music services like Sonos gear is. The Five is a hefty unit and takes up a decent amount of desk space. But once you throw some music on, its powerful stereo output is enough to handle any dinner party or weekend get-together. — Chris Welch, former Senior Reviewer
