Prime Day may be over, but Amazon’s Fourth of July sale is just getting started. If you missed out on buying summer items on sale like fans (including handheld models), portable ACs, patio furniture, carry-on suitcases and outdoor gear last week, you’ll find plenty of deals up to 70% off to take advantage of.

Below, I rounded up the best Fourth of July deals on Amazon worth shopping right now. Some of the best deals are from our favorite brands like Yeti, Apple, Shark, Owala and more. Since July Fourth lands on a Saturday this year, deals will last through the weekend. But that doesn’t mean you should wait to shop: Products tend to go out of stock or become unavailable in certain colors or sizes soon after. I’ll be updating this list regularly throughout the holiday.

Best Amazon Fourth of July deals

The AirPods 4 have a semi-open fit that’s relaxed and comfortable, so they’re great if you don’t like the feeling of rubber tips in your ears. You can also use them to ask Siri questions and they use voice isolation to make phone calls easy to hear. They get up to five hours of battery life on a single charge and 25 more hours with the charging case.

If you’re planning a day outdoors this summer, consider this portable grill, which has wheels and collapsible legs that make it easy to take on the go, such as on a camping trip. It has 285 square feet of cooking area and three adjustable burners to control the temperature.

This water bottle has an activated carbon filter, which removes potentially harmful bacteria and chemicals from outdoor water sources. The bottle holds more than 20 ounces of clean filtered water, has a flip-top straw lid and you can attach it to the side of your bag or belt loop.

I have these travel-friendly breath strips in every bag I own, plus a stash at my work desk. I immediately feel my breath freshen after popping one in my mouth (which comes in handy before a meeting or outing), and the cool mint flavor makes me feel like I just brushed my teeth.

The Shark FlexStyle lets you curl, straighten and dry your hair and comes with four attachments, which you can switch out to achieve the hairstyle you want. It also weighs just over 1.5 pounds, so it won’t be tough on your arms when you’re styling.

The Anker Soundcore 2 is one of our favorite portable Bluetooth speakers and is great for outdoor picnics, pool trips and parties. It’s water-resistant, has clear, crisp audio and is compact and lightweight enough to toss in your bag.

If you’re looking to hop on the jelly shoes trend, these slip-on flats are soft, easy to pack and versatile enough to dress up or down. They also have an open lattice pattern, so your feet can breathe (especially on hot summer days).

This mineral sunscreen is one of my favorites because it’s oil-free and noncomedogenic, so it won’t clog pores, and fragrance-free, making it a great option for my sensitive, acne-prone skin. It’s also water-resistant for up to 40 minutes, according to the brand.

Keep cool hands-free this summer with this portable neck fan. It has multiple air outlets, so you’ll get a cooling breeze on all parts of your neck. It has five speeds and up to 16 hours of battery life, depending on which speed you choose, according to the brand.

This set comes with a powerful, 1,500-watt food processor and blender in one, four types of blades and two blender bottles for smoothies and shakes. You’ll also get an 8-cup food processor bowl and 72-ounce pitcher to blend fruits, veggies and more.

One of our favorite reusable water bottles, the Owala Freesip is currently on sale in select colors. Its two-in-one spout lets you sip from the straw or chug from the wider opening, and its insulated stainless steel interior keeps your drinks cold for hours. It even has a flip-up handle to easily carry it around.

This quiet, oscillating, bladeless fan reduces the need for multiple cooling appliances in one room. You can pivot its head and twist its vents to point air in up to two directions at a time. It also has a telescoping pole, letting you adjust the fan’s height depending on how you’re using it.

This KitchenAid stand mixer is hands-down my favorite item for all of my baking needs (while cutting my prep time in half). It has 10 speed settings and its top tilts upward, which makes it easier to add ingredients while it’s mixing. It comes with a paddle, dough hook, wire whisk and a pouring shield to prevent flour from spilling everywhere.

These toner pads are a favorite among our NBC Select editors because they’re dual-sided: one side is textured to exfoliate, while the other, softer side soothes and hydrates your skin. Keep in mind they were at a slightly lower price during Prime Day last week, but we still think this is a good deal.
