America's birthday might've come and gone, but there's still plenty to celebrate: Amazon's massive July 4th sale is still going strong, and it's jam-packed with some seriously sparkling steals. Now, I've been a professional deals hunter for years, and, full transparency, I'm not usually impressed by markdowns leading up to Prime Day (which kicks off on July 8, FYI). But I've spotted some rare gems, and even a few record-low prices to scoop up before next week's markdown madness ensues.
Need a new hand vacuum? This heavy-duty Craftsman (which I swear by) is on sale for its best price ever at $59 (down from $100). Did last week's "heat dome" catch you unprepared? "One if by air, two if by water" are the bywords for this indoor/outdoor Shark misting fan. Liberate yourself from seasonal swelter while saving a very cool 50 bucks (also an all-time low). There's plenty more where that came from and with so many 4th of July deals still going strong, there's no reason to stop the party any time soon. Cue the fireworks!
Trending Amazon July 4th deals
All that at Amazon's extended July 4th sale, plus deals on Apple, Waterpik, KitchenAid, Hanes and s'more. (You will be eating some of those this weekend, right?)

Amazon Kindle Scribe ($260, originally $400): A big-screen Kindle that's also a writing tablet? Yes, please. Scribbling on the Scribe feels like putting pencil to paper, and unlike an ordinary notebook, it can accommodate thousands of pages (while staying the same weight).

Smart cleaning robot vacuum and mop for $135 off
iRobot Roomba Vacuum and Mop Combo ($140, originally $275): This two-in-one Roomba has a sleek, low-profile design and is $135 off for Prime Day. Its four-stage cleaning system tackles dirty hard floors (including wood) and carpet, running for up to 120 minutes on a charge. It’s smart enough to detect dirtier areas and spends extra time where it’s needed. It cleans in neat rows, navigates around furniture, avoids staircases using built-in sensors and returns to its home base when it’s done cleaning. This model connects over Wi-Fi, and managing cleaning schedules in the companion app is simple, so you can finally automate your least favorite chore for less than the price of a monthly housekeeper.

Save 50% on this 10-inch Amazon tablet
Amazon Fire HD 10 ($70, originally $140): A larger, more luxe version of the Fire HD 8, Amazon's 10-inch tablet bumps the screen resolution, camera resolution and processing power. And bigger is always better, especially for games and movies.

Grab the latest MacBook Air and save $150
MacBook Air M4 13-inch ($849, originally $999): The latest MacBook Air comes equipped with Apple's new M4 chip, delivering a serious boost in power without losing what makes the Air so great — namely, its sleek design, gorgeous 13.6-inch display, and up to 18 hours of battery life. Compared to my first MacBook, this thing makes it look and feel like a toy — and somehow, despite inflation and tariffs, it still costs less.

Apple Watch Ultra 2 for a massive $150 off
Apple Watch Ultra 2 ($649, originally $799): Be warned: As a long-time stainless steel dive watch guy, once I switched to titanium, I never looked back. This souped-up smartwatch has a rugged titanium case and comes with different colored loop bands, depending on the version you choose. The face is larger than your standard Apple Watch, and it doubles as a fitness tracker, GPS, and more. But the real game-changer? Battery life. You'll get up to 36 hours on a full charge — or up to 72 in low-power mode.
