Amazon Prime Day 2024 – live: Top deals from Ninja, Oral B and more
Real-time updates of the big summer sale, including the best discounts
Calling all bargain hunters: Amazon Prime Day is now in its final hours but there’s still time to nab yourself a bargain. The two-day annual discount bonanza has seen prices plummet on everything from the latest tech, including Amazon devices, laptops and TVs to home appliances, mattresses, beauty and so much more.
Naturally, we’ve been on hand to take you through the very best deals that Amazon has to offer, plucking out the good discounts and chucking out the bad – and we’ll continue to do so until the clock strikes midnight tonight.
The retailer’s event, which is exclusive to Prime members, is renowned as being Amazon’s site-wide version of Black Friday, and we’d argue that the deals have been just as good as those we see in the November sale.
If you’re yet to take advantage of the mega savings or want to squeeze in one last steal before the sale ends, you’ve come to the right place. From top shopping tips to the best bargains to shop now, consider this your Prime Day cheat sheet.
Alexa, find me an Echo Dot smart speaker deal
It wouldn’t be an Amazon sales event without a deal on an Echo smart speaker. And while the main event hasn’t started yet, you can already save 55 per cent on the 5th gen model.
Amazon Echo Dot speaker: Was £54.99, now £29.99, Amazon.co.uk
Listen to music, podcasts, audiobooks and more using Spotify, Apple Music and other streaming services, as well as via Bluetooth connected to your phone. The smart speaker features a room-temperature sensor, which can be synced up with compatible smart home devices, such as a fan or heater. Plus, in-built privacy controls include a button to disconnect the microphone.
“Don’t be deceived by its diminutive, spherical and slightly squat size – this speaker Alexifies every room in your home on a budget, while still delivering decent sound and good smarts,” our tester said.

Amazon’s Fire TV stick is at its lowest price ever
Giving my old TV smart features like streaming app connectivity, my trusty Fire TV stick has served my household for years. Now, Amazon’s most powerful streaming device yet is now at its lowest price ever.
Amazon Fire TV stick 4k: Was £69.99 now £39.99, Amazon.co.uk
The neat device slips neatly into your TV’s HDMI port and delivers access to all of your favourite streaming services in ultra-high-definition.

Save 30% on my favourite Dyson airwrap dupe
I’ve got both the Dyson airwrap and its rival, Shark’s flexstyle air styler – so can confirm that the TikTok hype over the latter tool is real. Easily challenging Dyson’s bouncy blowdry throne, the Shark tool is nealy £200 cheaper and almost as good. Now, you can get it for even less thanks to Prime Day.
Shark flexstyle air styler: Was £319.99, now £229.99, Amazon.co.uk
When reviewing the Shark flexstyle, I found it to be powerful and fast-drying, complete with a fully-functioning hairdryer (arguablly better than Dyson’s drying attachment), style concentrator and diffuser. It’s super versatile thanks to its five different attachments and the best airwrap dupe you can buy (trust me, I’ve tried a lot). At nearly 30 per cent off, there’s no better time to get your hair looking its best.
Is Prime Day better than Black Friday?
I’ve been covering both Prime Day and Black Friday since 2020, so based on experience, Prime Day deals are usually just as good as Black Friday deals.
Plus, you’ll find even better discounts on Amazon devices on Prime Day, and all other tech, home and beauty buys will be discounted to roughly the same price on Black Friday, so Amazon’s sale is equally worth having on your radar - particularly because Amazon uses Prime Day as a chance to spoil its Prime members, and some of the discounts are mega.
This budget tablet is now even cheaper
If you’re after high quality tablets at affordable prices, take notice of Amazon’s own Fire tablet range. Already one of the most budget-friendly models, the Amazon Fire 7 is now even cheaper with a tempting 30 per cent off.
Amazon Fire 7: Was £64.99, now £44.99, Amazon.co.uk
Upon trying it, our tester suggested this may be the tablet to rival the iPad in terms of battery life, saying: “It’s still hard to find a cheaper tablet from a decent brand.” They appreciated the lightweight and effortless portability of the Fire 7, too, adding that it’s a great pick for bookworms. “It works especially well for books and audio books,” they said, all of which are automatically downloaded onto your tablet upon setup.
Save hundreds of pounds on this Amazon Fire TV
Looking for a TV this Prime Day? There are a bunch of models on offer, including Amazon’s own Fire TV range. Reduced by a massive 43 per cent, you can save hundreds of pounds on the Fire TV 55in Omni QLED series 4K.
Amazon Fire TV 55in Omni QLED series 4K TV: Was £749.99, now £429.99, Amazon.co.uk
For vibrant, clear and crisp pictures, you can’t go wrong with the Amazon Fire TV. Thanks to QLED technology you can expect all your favourite movies and shows to be leaping off the screen with vivid lifelike colours. This TV is, however, more than just a pretty picture.

Colour Wow is massively discounted for Prime Day
The haircare brand of the moment (we can thank Kim K’s stylish Chris Appleton for that), Colour Wow is heavily discounted for Prime Day, so I’m stocking up on the brand’s viral dreamcoat spray below.
Color Wow dream coat supernatural spray: Was £27, now £18.90, Amazon.co.uk
Our beauty writer has been testing this product for the past few weeks (read her full Color Wow dream coat review, too) and it is a miracle worker. “It made my blow dry glossier than ever before, it distributes evenly and, after a day out in the wind and rain, my hair still managed to remain straight despite having a naturally wavy texture.” With 30 per cent off right now, this offer is too good to pass up.
