Prime Day 2024
Amazon

Amazon Prime Day 2024 has come and gone with a bang. We saw deals coming and going on all kinds of different goodies, from high-priced tech items to TVs and everything in between. Now that it's all over, some of the deals on larger items have gone the way of the dinosaur, but there are still some sale-priced goodies to be found. You can also still buy all of the top products our readers couldn't get enough of this Prime Day if you're looking to score some quality items. 

CBS Essentials readers have been scoring some truly incredible discounts on new tech gadgets, small kitchen appliances, home goods, groceries and even streaming subscriptions this week. We took a look at what everyone was buying to compile this list of the 10 most popular deals of Amazon Prime Day 2024. And many of these deals are still available, even after Prime Day.

This list encompasses just about everyone. We've gathered our 10 most popular Prime Day deals below, regardless of current pricing. While some have gone back to their normal asking price, you can still save on some of them. Your mileage may vary, but be sure to look out for savings where you can. 


10 most popular Amazon Prime Day deals, according to our readers

There's something for all types of buyers on this list, including household essentials you use every day and even headphones you might want to snag to enjoy your favorite tunes. Even if you weren't planning on making any post-Prime Day purchases, these deals may very well change your mind.

Note that some of these deals require an Amazon Prime membership, and some have expired, but they're still great options to shop now.

The new Echo Spot alarm clock can be customized with your favorite clock face, colors, alarm sounds and more. It has a smart display that shows the time, weather, song titles and other information at a glance so you have everything you need right in front of you in the morning.

A smart speaker at heart, it's loud and effective as an alarm clock, but you can use it to enjoy music and podcasts with crisp clarity and surprisingly loud volume. Control it with touch or via Alexa, which can also be set up to follow routines that wake you up with music and soft light in a more gentle way than traditional alarms.

You can use the Echo Spot as a smart home hub by way of Alexa as well, with voice controls that mean you don't have to stumble out of bed in the morning to find a switch or touch a panel somewhere else to turn on the lights or get your day going.

Cleverly concealed cords and a non-reflective matte screen make this TV resemble a framed masterpiece on your wall. 

When you deactivate art mode, you can watch sports and other high-action content in stunning 4K QLED resolution with a 120 Hz refresh rate. The matte screen allows for a great view of the action, no matter what angle you're watching from.

Amazon

This is one of iRobot's most popular and powerful robot vacuums. It offers a convenient self-emptying feature, is able to avoid obstacles like socks and pet waste, and it uses smart mapping to navigate around your home.

We like this robot because it offers integrated dirt detection and does a nice job with edge cleaning. It also picks up pet hair. In fact, within our coverage of the five best robot vacuums for pet hair in 2024, the Roomba J7+ was our top pick. It is designed with dog owners in mind. 

This smart vacuum includes iRobot's P.O.O.P. (Pet Owner Official Promise) guarantee. Your Roomba j7+ is guaranteed to avoid pet waste, or iRobot will replace your vacuum for free.

This robot features a powerful three-stage cleaning system with iRobot's most powerful suction. It even uses an edge-sweeping brush to get into corners. The Roomba j7+ also features dual, multi-surface rubber brushes that flex to adjust to different floor types. Best of all, they don't get tangled in pet hair.

When it's finished cleaning, the device automatically empties into a base for easy dirt disposal. Just empty the cleaning station every 60 days. The robot vacuum actively avoids pet messes and obstacles such as water bowls. The vacuum's self-emptying capabilities means you don't need to constantly empty a dustbin, while the three-stage cleaning system provides a thorough clean of floors and carpets.

For a limited time, Amazon has cut the price of this popular robot vacuum by 50%, which brings its price down to just $400.
