CNET Picks: What We're Looking for During Amazon Prime Day

Not only do we here at CNET aim to give you valuable insights into the best products on the market, but we also want to help you get them at the best price. Amazon Prime Day, which is set for July 16 and 17 this year, is a great time to score massive savings across tech, small kitchen appliances, smart home devices, fitness equipment, everyday essentials and even some amazing low-cost impulse buys. In addition to being experts from a number of fields with years of experience, we’re also consumers — and we get just as excited to get our hands on must-haves and wish-list items as you do.

This story is part of Amazon Prime Day, CNET’s guide to everything you need to know and how to find the best deals.

Prime Day 2024 will be the 10th iteration of Amazon’s subscriber-exclusive sale, and it’s sure to be one of the biggest shopping events of the year, with an array of thousands of deals up for grabs. We’ve asked CNET staff to share some of the items they’re most excited to look for during Prime Day 2024. If you see something that piques your interest, go ahead and prepare a plan ahead of time, adding anything you’re interested to your own watch list as we head into the main event. From skin care to home essentials, tech and more, you can check out our picks in the video below.

We’ll be highlighting plenty of other Prime Day deals worth snagging throughout the event, so you can stay on top of all the latest price drops and limited time discounts. And that includes any “anti-Prime Day” sales happening at other retailers. Looking for something besides what we’re personally excited about? We’ve rounded up Prime Day deals on Amazon devices, laptops, headphones, monitors, subscription services and much more that are worth buying.

There are plenty of ways to keep up with all the Prime Day coverage during the event, as well as other deals throughout the year.
