When Is Amazon Prime Day 2022?
Amazon Prime Day 2022 will take place on July 12 and July 13. Aside from a slight scheduling change (due to Covid) in 2020, Amazon Prime Day dates have always been in the middle of summer, and this year’s Prime Day date is no different.
Similar to previous years, Amazon Prime Day is taking place over two days once again this year, giving shoppers 48 hours to score a deal and discount online. You can bookmark this page and also check amazon.com/primeday for the latest details about the official 2022 Prime Day deals.

In previous years, Prime members have been able shop more than two million deals, including discounts on top name brands like Levi’s, Samsung, iRobot and more.
The biggest Prime Day deals will be on Amazon’s slate of Alexa-enabled devices and smart home accessories, with up to 55% off items like the Echo Show 5 (2nd Gen), Kindle Paperwhite, Fire 7 Tablet (2019 release), Echo Dot (4th Gen) with a Free Smart Bulb, Ring Alarm Security Kit 8-Piece (2nd Gen), Blink Video Doorbell, eero mesh WiFi routers and more.

Amazon
Top Prime Day 2022 deals are also expected to include discounts on popular tech items, like the Apple AirPods Pro, Fitbit smartwatches, Bluetooth speakers, and home theater systems.
And Prime Day is a great chance to score a TV deal on Amazon, with a number of Fire TVs on sale from just $89. Yes, that’s $89 for a feature-packed Smart TV! The Prime Day TV deals include discounts on brands like Toshiba, Insignia, Pioneer, and Amazon.
Amazon
Looking for the best Prime Day Home deals? One of the best products to pick up this year is an air purifier. Amazon’s Prime Day air purifier deals have top-rated brands and models starting at just $49. These are some of the lowest prices we’ve seen all year for regular and HEPA air purifiers online.
Amazon
Amazon also had discounts last year of up to 50% off from top home brands including Samsung, Sony, Ring, iRobot, Keurig and more. One of the best Prime Day home deals is on the popular iRobot vacuum (makers of the “Roomba), which is one of the best robot vacuums available online.

What Are the Best Prime Day Electronics Deals?
Amazon has a number of Prime Day tech deals running this week and it’s a great opportunity to get that pair of headphones or earbuds you’ve always wanted at a steep discount. We’ve spotted top deals on soundbars and speakers too.
One of the best Prime Day tech deals is on the all-new Apple AirPods Pro. Regularly $249, the Prime Day discount brings them down to just $199.98 — one of the lowest prices we’re seeing at any retailer right now and cheaper than Apple.com where the AirPods are still listed for $249).
This discount is surprising because Apple released these updated AirPods just last fall. This updated version of Apple’s wireless earbuds comes with a MagSafe-compatible case, which allows you to use it with Apple’s magnetic charging accessories.
Prime Day is also a chance to snag a great soundbar deal. A soundbar is an easy way to upgrade your home entertainment system with enhanced sound that’s way better than what’s coming out of your TV alone.
Amazon
If you need a home theater upgrade, take advantage of this 15% discount on Samsung’s HW-T650 soundbar. The stereo soundbar comes with a wireless subwoofer for extra bass and supports virtual surround sound. It’s an all-in-one audio system that’ll enhance the experience while listening to music, playing games, and watching movies without breaking the bank.
Looking for a good headphone deal? If you’re into gaming, this top-rated set from Razer is nearly half-off right now.
Amazon
Razer’s Kraken Ultimate Headset is a must-have PC accessory for gamers who want a competitive edge when playing on line. It’s THX-certified, which means you should expect great audio quality, and it can even simulate 7.1 surround sound, so you can hear opponents trying to sneak up behind you. Normally $129.99, the Kraken Ultimate is $64.99 right now, its cheapest price ever.
We also like this Beats Prime Day deal, which gets you a $100+ discount off their popular Beats Studio3 headphones.
Amazon
This is a huge discount for a pair of noise-canceling headphones, and these ones use the super fast Apple computer chip and Bluetooth to connect easily to your devices. As with all Beats products, audio quality is top-notch too. Right now this Beats Prime Day deal gets you the Studio3 headphones for $224.99 — 36% off their regular price of $349.95.
