Amazon Prime Day 2026 officially starts on Jun. 23, but Prime members don’t have to wait to shop. Some of the best early Prime Day Deals are already live, including a handful that are currently at their lowest price ever, like the Apple AirPods Pro 3, Le Creuset Nonstick Pro 8-inch Fry Pan, Blink Outdoor 2K+ security camera and Ultimate Ears Wonderboom Bluetooth speaker.
I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a reporter for NBC Select, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I spend weeks preparing for Amazon’s biggest sale of the year, which includes combing through thousands of discounts to find the best early Prime Day deals. Each one I recommend below is highly rated, as well as at its lowest price in at least three months, with discounts up to 63 percent off. I’ll frequently update this list prior to Prime Day.

The best early Amazon Prime Day deals of 2026
I’ve worn Apple’s AirPods Pro for years in my daily life and while running, and they made our list of the best wireless earbuds due to their excellent sound quality, comfortable feel and superior noise cancellation features. They have built-in sensors that track your heart rate and calories burned while working out, and there’s also a hearing aid feature. The headphones come with five sets of ear tips in different sizes to help you customize their fit.
Waterpik’s water flossers are some of our all-time favorite oral care products, and this cordless model earned the American Dental Association’s Seal of Acceptance. It has two pressure settings, comes with two tips and is water-resistant so you can use it in the shower. There’s a built-in reservoir on the tool’s handle that holds enough water for up to 45 seconds of use, and its battery gives you up to four weeks of use per charge, according to the brand.
This 8-inch nonstick pan has a textured interior that helps you brown and sear food. It’s made from anodized aluminum, a material that helps it heat up quickly and distribute heat evenly, according to the brand. It’s compatible with all stovetops, oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, dishwasher-safe and works with metal utensils.
Paula’s Choice formulated this cleanser for those with acne-prone skin. It’s made with salicylic acid, a chemical exfoliant that unclogs pores and reduces redness from breakouts, as well as pro-vitamin B5, which softens skin, according to the brand. The face wash helps remove dirt, makeup and excess oil, and Paula’s Choice recommends using it twice a day.
Upgrade your home’s security system with these indoor cameras that let you livestream footage through the Ring app — you can evenly see clearly in the dark thanks to Color Night Vision. You’re able to hear and speak to people (or pets) with the app and get real-time alerts, plus the cameras respond to Amazon Alexa voice commands. They have privacy covers and mics that shut-off when you want, and you can mount them or stand them up.
Reviewers say they’re impressed by how effective this mosquito repellent is, with one even calling it a “game-changer” for spending time outside. The cordless device continuously diffuses a repellent into the air, creating a 20-foot protection zone around you, according to the brand. It comes with a few refill repellent cartridges to get you started, as well as a charging base — a full battery gives you about 12 hours of use, says Thermacell.
This vibration plate lets you choose from 99 speeds and set a timer for each session, plus it comes with pull cord and training belt accessories for an extra challenge. The plate has a LED touchscreen that lets you adjust its settings, as well as built-in Bluetooth speakers to stream music through.
Cooking experts we’ve talked to about kitchen knives say Wüsthof’s have fantastic craftsmanship and will last you forever. This set comes with three types: an 8-inch chef’s knife, a 2.75-inch paring knife and a 4.5-inch utility knife. You also get a knife sharpener. The lightweight knives are made with sharp stainless steel blades and have easy-grip molded handles with built-in hand guards for safer cutting and chopping.
“These are a good pair of budget over-ear headphones that are super duper lightweight — it barely feels like any weight on your head when you’re wearing them, which is nice,” says Rabinowitz. They have a built-in microphone and Amazon Alexa voice assistant, and you can alternate between numerous listening modes, including noise-cancellation. The headphones give you up to 35 hours of listening on a full battery, according to the brand.
Monitor what’s going on outside your home with Blink’s Outdoor Camera System, which comes with five cameras that are designed to withstand inclement weather. They run on AA batteries that last up to two years, according to the brand, and you can livestream footage, hear, speak to and zoom in on visitors using the Blink app. The cameras have color vision in low light, and each one comes with its own mounting kit.
The Shark FlexStyle acts as a hair dryer and styler. You can swap between modes by twisting the top of the tool and adding interchangeable attachments: auto-wrap curlers, an oval brush and a concentrator. The tool works on all hair types and its built-in sensors constantly measure heat to maintain consistent air temperatures and reduce hair damage, according to the brand. The FlexStyle is only 1.5 pounds, making it convenient to hold for long periods of time and travel with.
Ultimate Ears’ Wonderboom 4 Bluetooth Speaker is water-resistant and floats, which NBC Select reporter Harry Rabinowitz can attest to, making the ideal choice for anyone who plans to use it outside for pool days, camping trips or rounds of golf. Rabinowitz has used the speaker for years and says despite its compact size, it can get very loud. There’s a built-in fabric loop on the top of the device, which you can connect a carabiner clip to. A full battery gives you about 14 hours of use, according to the brand.
The Casper Original Pillow is a NBC Select Bed & Bath Award winner, and years after testing it, many members of our team still sleep with it every night. The standard-size pillow comes in a pack of two, and it’s filled with a down-alternative material that gives it a medium-soft feel. It also has a breathable cotton percale cover and is fully machine-washable.
Quickly whip up meals with Instant Pot’s air fryer, which lets you manually adjust its time and temperature settings, as well as choose from six cooking modes: air fry, bake, roast, broil, dehydrate and reheat. The appliance has a non-stick, dishwasher-safe basket and try, making clean-up easy.

Why are these early Prime Day deals worth it?
Amazon Prime Day historically offers Prime members some of the lowest prices of the year on products across categories. These limited-time early deals give you the opportunity to shop when inventory is the highest, before the sale officially begins on Jun. 23.
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
Why trust NBC Select?
I’m a reporter for NBC Select who has covered Amazon Prime Day for six years. I frequently write about the history of Amazon Prime Day, what’s included in a Prime membership, what to buy and skip during Amazon’s major sales and more. I also appear in related broadcast segments on NBC News NOW and TODAY. For this story, I previewed a list of early deals from Amazon and sorted through them to find worthwhile sales you should know about.
This article has been updated with new deals. It reflects the most accurate pricing and product availability at the time of publication.
Catch up on NBC Select’s in-depth coverage of tech and tools, wellness and more, and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok to stay up to date.
