As professional deal hunters, we consider it our duty to let you in on a little secret: Many of the best Amazon Prime Day deals are all located in one easy-to-miss section. We are, of course, talking about Lighting Deals.
If you’re unfamiliar with Amazon’s Lightning Deals, let us fill you in. These are extremely time- and stock-limited markdowns. The discounts typically last for several hours, but if stock runs out, you’re outta luck. Just like other Prime Day deals, many of these are exclusive to Prime shoppers. They also encompass all types of products — tech, beauty, fashion, kitchen and home items.

Like Yeti? Like Purple? Then this cooler deal is for you
Photo: Amazon The deal: YETI Roadie 24 Cooler, $175 (was $250)
You save: 30%
Why we like it: We work at Yahoo — we love purple! In all seriousness though, it seems to be just the lilac version of this beloved Yeti cooler that’s on sale (all the other colors are $250 at this time) but if you’re cool with that, this is a great deal on a practical, portable cooler, and a Yeti sale is fairly rare.
What else to know: There are more Yeti sale items to be shopped — check out this Prime Day Yeti sale roundup from my colleague Ellie Conley.

Apple’s Beats Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earbuds are $150 — 40% off
Photo: Amazon The deal: Apple’s Beats Powerbeats Pro Wireless Earbuds are $150, down from $250.
You save: At 40% off, our price trackers have this pair at its lowest price across 5 stores.
Why we like it: As someone with ears that are just not compatible with Apple AirPods (mine fall out constantly; long story but one even ended up in my oven!), my husband bought this pair for me this Christmas and I’ve never looked back. They fit around your ear snugly and never fall off — I wear them running, walking the dog, and in the office.
What else to know: My only complaint is that they’re not as easy as the AirPods to slide into the charging box since there’s more to them than your typical earbud. But the battery life is strong, and they charge quickly.

Dyson V11 Origin Cordless Vacuum Cleaner drops to $399 — save 30%
Photo: Amazon The Deal: Dyson’s V11 Origin Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is $399, down from $570
You Save: 30% and it’s at its lowest price — The lowest reported Amazon price for this model is $470.
Why we like it: This is an older model Dyson from 2021, but the 30% discount makes it a good buy. When it comes to cleaning power, this Dyson vacuum has stiff nylon bristles that work on both carpets and hard floors. It also has three different modes, which allow the vacuum to adapt its suction capabilities depending on the room, surface or mess type.
What else to know: While this older model didn’t make our picks for the best Dyson vacuums of 2024, it still features Dyson’s hallmark suction power and convenient wall hanging holder and hardware.

Samsung’s 50″ The Frame TV drops to $897: Save over $500
Photo: Amazon The Deal: Samsung’s 50″ The Frame TV is $897 (list price $1446).
Your Savings: 38%
Why we like it: The Samsung Frame is more than just a TV. While it has everything you would expect from a modern screen — high-definition resolution, incredible color and more — it also has a feature that makes it appealing even when you aren’t watching TV. A built-in motion sensor detects when you walk into the room and begins displaying beautiful works of art.
More key details: You can also hang it flush against the wall so that it looks like a painting. More than that, you can shift it into Vertical Mode for art that deserves to be viewed in portrait mode. There’s a subscription service you can use to display art, or you can upload your own in the form of family photos.
If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
