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!
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?)
If you've yet to invest in an air purifier, Amazon's No. 1 bestseller is down to one of the best prices we've seen it on sale for (it only dipped lower once this year). What makes it a standout?
For starters, it's nice and compact but covers up to 1,095 square feet of space. Its 3-in-1 filtration system traps up to 99.97% of airborne particles up to 0.3 microns and can help remove odors, pet dander, smoke and other irritants. It also has a whisper-quiet, HEPA-grade sleep mode so as not to disturb you at night.
"Placed it in our bedroom," wrote a buyer. "We run it on level 2 during the day and night mode at night. Within a few days, we noticed less dust and fibers in the air, and within a couple of weeks, we were no longer waking up feeling congested. Sleeping better. Feeling better. Works great."
"I'm giving my mom this new fan from Shark to help her keep cool this spring and summer. It can be used indoors and out, with or without the base (so it can sit on a table). The fan can be plugged in or will run cordless up to 24 hours. And it's boujee — complete with a portable water tank and mist functionality! I’m also considering one of Shark's new mini misting fans for my sister, another mom who deserves to feel pampered at home and on the go. (I can also see this coming in handy when she's sitting on the bleachers at my niece's summer softball games.)" — Kristin Granero, Home Writer
Never lose your luggage, purse, car, keys — anything, really — again. Just attach one of these smart tags to the item you want to track, and you'll be alerted to its whereabouts via your phone. The deal on this four-pack brings each tag down to about $16 (they typically retail for $25 to $30 a pop). Grab a few for your, er, forgetful family members...
Tired of dealing with a menagerie of remotes every time you want to watch TV? Stop the insanity with this easy and intuitive top-seller (which happens to be the newest model) that can replace 'em all. You'll be able to effortlessly switch between the news, sports, live TV and your favorite streaming platforms for easy access to millions of shows and movies.
Open-ear headphones are all the rage, but they're usually not cheap: Prices typically start over $100 and rise from there. Behold the pleasant surprise that is the Baseus Bass BC1, a cuff-style open-ear headphone. Comfy fit, decent sound, more bass than expected and a price tag of just $28.
Grab these before they jump back up to their already-pretty-amazing regular price of $40.
Apple products are so sought after that they don't really need to go on sale, and when they do, it's often because they're older models. That said, this is the most recent version of this iPad, which makes this markdown extra noteworthy.
McGraw says, "It's an ultra-light, thin tablet that's powerful enough to replace your laptop for most tasks but slips into your bag without a second thought. With a large 11-inch Liquid Retina display, you're swiping and scrolling in vibrant color and sharpness that makes any screen that came before feel like an old tube TV.
"If you've got a habit of toggling between a dozen apps, streaming videos and replying to messages at once, you're in for a treat. This iPad is ready to keep up with whatever you throw its way. And if you're into gaming, the graphics capabilities mean you can play even demanding games without dropping a frame."
If a smaller screen suits your needs, you won't do much better than this highly affordable 32-incher. It's equipped with Alexa voice control and is compatible with Apple AirPlay, meaning you can pair it with your Apple device to broadcast photos and videos on the screen.

Amazon shoppers love this maxi dress for its simplicity, style and versatility. Its flowy design will help it drape over your body without clinging. Pair it with some cute flats and a jean jacket and you're ready for an evening hangout, or wear it to the office with a blazer. For date night, doll it up with your favorite necklace, a pair of heels and a cardigan. It also has pockets — always a welcome addition.
"This maxi dress checks all of the boxes," a happy customer shared. "It is very figure-flattering, has pockets, not see-through, and it comes down to my feet (I'm 5-foot-8). This maxi fits all of my curves and I can wear it to church, work, date night and brunch."
Make fighting with your family members over power outlets a thing of the past, courtesy of this electrifying gadget. It's equipped with five AC outlets and four USB ports, enough for everyone to charge their iPads, iPhones, MacBooks (you get the picture) all at once. Oh, and it's so much sleeker than having a power strip on your floor — and you won't have to worry about tripping over it.
No, it's not a massive discount, but this bestseller is within a dollar of its all-time low (and it's retailed for as much as $20 in the past).
That mini fan on your desk is cute, but on those extra-sweltering days, you'll be glad you have this taller model, which can cover up to 25 square feet. Its oscillation feature allows it to cool down a room from different angles, and you can choose from four speed settings, including a super-quiet sleep mode.
It's down to its lowest price in months, so you know what to do...
These days, many people are swapping their plastic cutting boards for wooden ones. If you're looking to do the same, bamboo is an excellent alternative, and this set includes not one, not two, but three sturdy boards and a nifty holder. Because you're getting a variety of sizes, you'll be able to designate one board for meats, one for produce and another for smaller mincing tasks. Oh, and this attractive trio rarely dips lower than its current price.
Travel experts and frequent fliers say packing cubes are one of the easiest ways to stay organized. If you tend to overpack or always seem to forget something, they can keep everything tidy and easy to find. In addition to an array of bags in various sizes, this eight-piece set includes a toiletry bag, a shoe bag and a sock bag.
"I'm getting ready for flight attendant training and wanted to buy these to help me organize the many things I need to bring," wrote one reviewer. "What surprised me is that both pairs of high heels fit in the shoe bag."
Why keep tripping over bottles when these handy shower shelves exist? This top-selling set claims to hold up to 40 pounds (that's a lot of gel, shampoo, conditioner and emollients) and comes with five storage racks in different sizes for all your bathtime essentials. All you need to do is apply the included adhesive to stick 'em on the wall.
If you spend lots of time in the kitchen, your feet deserve a cushy surface to stand on during all of that cooking (and dishwashing). This highly rated anti-fatigue mat is made from a comfy foam to help take some of the pressure off of your muscles and joints, and its nonslip bottom will stay put without sliding around. The waterproof material is also easy to wipe clean.
Amazon's No. 1 bestselling sandals are specially designed to make it feel like you're walking on clouds, thanks to a thick sole that cushions every step. The slip-ons work great at the beach, pool or just around the house. Choose from a huge range of colors (16 to be exact).
This cushy comforter, which has tabs and can double as a duvet insert, was designed for all-season use, keeping you cozy yet cool during the warmer months and toasty come winter. Box stitching helps keep the fluffy filling evenly distributed.

Every kitchen needs a good pair of oven mitts, meaning those hole-filled ones in your drawer need to go. These top-sellers are heat-resistant up to 500°F, thanks to their silicone coating — and not only that, their ribbed design offers better grip than cloth mitts.
They're water-resistant to protect your hands from hot splatters and come in over 20 colors, though prices vary. (This blue pair is over 55% off, its lowest price ever!)
Amazon's No. 1 selling electric pressure cooker is the Instant Pot Duo Plus, and it's close to half off right now (its lowest price in months!). It can pressure cook, slow cook, steam, sauté, make rice, make yogurt, sterilize things and warm food. So if you want an appliance to help you prep meals this fall for tailgates and school nights, or just love a hearty stew, it's worth grabbing it while it's on sale.
"The cooking performance is outstanding," said one impressed customer. "Meals that used to take hours to prepare are now ready in a fraction of the time, without compromising on flavor or texture. The Instant Pot Duo Plus consistently produces tender, flavorful dishes, from perfectly cooked rice to fall-off-the-bone meats."
Bigger isn't always better, and this compact crusher is proof. It weighs less than 2 pounds and holds just enough for a single serving. But the coolest part? It's battery-powered, meaning you can whiz up refreshing beverages on the go.
Designed to fit in most cupholders, this blitzer can accompany you on road trips, to the gym, the office ... just about anywhere. Toss in your ingredients and blend away en route to work — that'll give you a few more minutes of shut-eye in the morning. At 33% off, this price is within a dollar of its all-time low.
Get those pesky pests back for years of itchy bites courtesy of this tennis racquet-like zapper. Unlike your standard fly swatter, this one has a 4,000-volt grid to shock bugs — just wave it at 'em, and you'll hear the satisfying sound of them being fried to a crisp. (Ew, but better than letting them take over your patio!)
Though this isn't the lowest price I've ever seen, you're scoring this mini zapper for nearly 35% off (within a few bucks of its best price in years).
Here's the dirt: This duo will spare you from painful bending while sparing your hands from touching things they'd ... rather not. The dustpan is equipped with teeth that'll dislodge those clumps for you, because post-cleaning cleanup is no one's idea of a good time.
It's shaping up to be a scorcher of a season in many parts of the country, and if you're in the market for a chill new appliance, thousands of shoppers swear by this highly rated model.
Equipped with wheels, it's easy to move from room to room and can cool spaces of up to 200 square feet (there are also larger options to choose from). Oh, and this is the lowest it's been on sale for in over a year.
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).
