Amazon Prime Day is happening now through Jun. 26, offering discounts on thousands of items under $50, exclusive to Prime members. Some of the top deals include skin care and beauty, household essentials and small appliances.
I’ve covered sales and deals as an editor at NBC Select for more than five years, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts to find the best Prime Day deals under $50 — each one I recommend below is highly rated and 20 percent off or more, as well as at its lowest price in at least three months. I’ll frequently update this list throughout Amazon Prime Day.

Why are these Prime Day deals under $50 worth it?
Amazon Prime Day historically offers Prime members some of the lowest prices of the year, and these limited-time deals only last through Jun. 26. All of my recommendations above are based on NBC Select’s previous coverage and reporting. I also included products the NBC Select staff tested. I evaluated the quality of these deals by running them through price trackers like CamelCamelCamel, and I only included those that:
- Are at their lowest price in at least three months
- Are 20 percent off or more
- Are highly rated with at least a 4.0-star average rating from hundreds of customers on Amazon
