21 Prime Day deals Verge readers are actually buying

There’s no shortage of Prime Day deals to sift through, and The Verge has already highlighted products they’ve tested and recommend. But sometimes the best shopping inspiration comes from seeing what other readers actually buy.

Some favorites are exactly what you’d expect — AirPods and Kindles are doing well. Others are more surprising, like Birdbuddy’s camera-equipped smart bird feeder, which has been a breakout hit.

On the tech accessory side, the Hoto 3.6V Electric Screwdriver Kit Pro ($28.49 at Amazon, down from $49.99) offers three torque modes, 220RPM speed, and a circular LED for dark spaces. AirPods Max 2 are down to $399 from $549, delivering improved sound, better noise cancellation, and Apple’s H2 chip with live translation.

The Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand with Qi2 15W is $63.16, down from $119.99. It hits 15W MagSafe speeds for iPhones and keeps your phone and Watch elevated for easy reading.

For kids, the Fitbit Ace LTE fitness tracker is $59.99, down from $179.99. It’s loaded with movement-based games and supports GPS tracking, messaging, and calling — though a $9.99/month Fitbit Ace Pass is required for those features.

Smart home picks include the Aqara Smart Lock U400 ($219.99, down from $269.99), which uses ultra-wideband to unlock your door automatically as you approach, and the SwitchBot Standing Circulator Fan at $89.99.

Other notable deals: Anker’s 25,000mAh Laptop Power Bank with 165W output at $91.19, the Google TV Streamer (4K) at $74.99, and the Ninja Creami Deluxe Ice Cream Maker at $199.95.
