An Under-$350 Dyson and 38 More Early Amazon Spring Sale Deals

Kindles are rarely on sale, and even when they are discounted, it’s usually only around 20 percent. This is the cheapest the Kindle Colorsoft has been since Black Friday. It’s $10 more than the Kindle Paperwhite (also currently on sale when you buy the e-reader and cover bundle). It’s a good upgrade if you like reading comics or graphic novels, though tech writer Jordan McMahon says the Colorsoft screen “produces a yellow bar along the bottom edge that’s unpleasant to look at while reading.” So if you don’t need color, the on-sale Paperwhite might be your best bet.

Apple’s 2025 MacBook Air is $250 off right now — a fairly decent deal for a not-too-old Apple product.

The older model (the Ultra 3 came out in September) of Apple’s rugged smartwatch is $300 off, which is by far the cheapest it’s ever been. McMahon says it’s worth the price. It has an extra-durable design and a large display that make it great for outdoor fitness use. But the best feature, McMahon says, is its extended battery life. It can last up to 72 hours in low-power mode, which cuts the charge frequency in half.

The best-looking over-the-ear headphones are half off, so you can use the noise-canceling feature to drown out the sound of neighborhood traffic or chattering co-workers (or keep them in your periphery with the transparency mode). Battery life is great, too, with up to 40 hours of play time.

Both Chris Redd and Maddy DeVita use this waterproof portable speaker from Sonos, which makes it our favorite Bluetooth speaker for multiroom setups. It’s just as great for at-home use as it is on the go, and the sleek design is a plus too.

If you need an extra controller for your Xbox Series X, this wireless controller is $15 off.

Now’s the time to finally organize that tangle of cords under your desk. This relatively inexpensive power strip — a longtime Strategist favorite — has six regular outlets and three USB slots, and it connects to your phone so you can turn appliances off remotely.

’Tis the season.

One of our favorite blow-dryer brushes, Shark’s FlexStyle, is the brand’s answer to the (much more expensive) Dyson Airwrap. It has the same high-speed airflow technology as an Airwrap and comes with various attachments, but it’s half the price. Now it’s even cheaper at $299.

“The TheraFace Depuffing Wand has become my morning essential — I never skip it,” says Molly Sims, founder of YSE Beauty. She runs it under her eyes in the morning to reduce puffiness and give the appearance of awakeness, no matter how tired she feels. It’s also a travel-friendly size, so consider it your new jet-lag fighter.

A face de-puffer that’s also great for easing headaches or helping you wake up.

Bio-Oil is a longtime Strategist favorite that’s also a favorite of many celebrities (Kristin Chenoweth and LaLa Kent among them). It has a blend of hydrating ingredients like rosemary, sunflower seed oil, and vitamins A and E that make it both moisturizing and effective at reducing scars and wrinkles. This three-pack of TSA-friendly bottles will be handy for upcoming summer travel.

Anyone who doesn’t already have an electric toothbrush should take advantage of this deal on a souped-up Sonicare.

And if you don’t have a water flosser, consider getting one now. It’s often more convenient to buy a cordless and portable flosser (which this one is), as they take up less counter space and can be used in the shower.

Therabody makes several of our favorite massage guns, and one of its most affordable models is now even cheaper at $110. It comes with three attachments — the dampener for sensitive areas, the “thumb” for the lower back, and the standard ball for all over the body.

Zinus offers some of the best value for a mattress, and its Green Tea memory-foam mattress is one of our favorite affordable options. Sleep writer Amelia Jerden says it’s firm, but comfortably so, and it’s an exceptional value at under $200. But right now, you can get the full size for less than $120 — a discount of over 40 percent and one of the best prices you’ll ever find on it.

I’ve had the Coway Airmega, our favorite air purifier, in my bedroom for over six years. It has an unobtrusive design and a few different intensity modes to choose from, and it’s pretty easy to clean. Senior writer Michael Zhao, who named it the best purifier, prefers it because its CADR smoke score of 233 is “exceptionally high for its compact size” and it has a separate secondary filter, which “allows you to freely replace the secondary filter anytime you sense it’s starting to fade.” That’s especially useful when it comes to reducing odors like pet smells.

But for an upgrade pick that can handle bigger spaces, go with the Blueair 211i Max. It’s Zhao’s top choice for large rooms. “It’s about the size of a 50-liter kitchen trash can, and its CADR smoke score of 410 CFM means it can quickly clean the air of rooms as large as 615 square feet on its own,” he says. And it’s Marie Kondo’s favorite air purifier too.

We love Dyson vacuums of all styles, and while the V8 is a slightly older model, it still works just as well (especially when you can buy it for under $400). It’s super-lightweight, great for pet hair, and has a battery life of 40 minutes. The three extra attachments are ideal for detangling hair, cleaning nooks and crannies, and dusting or vacuuming soft surfaces.

For those in the market for vacuums, the best early deal so far is on Levoit’s LVAC-300, which is our favorite lightweight cordless vacuum. Zhao says it’s the best option “for smaller homes with hard-surface flooring.” It’s not the most powerful or longest-lasting, but it does enough for a small space, and its small size makes it easy to store and handle.

And for a mop-vacuum combo tool, the best deal is on this Shark model (Shark makes many of our favorite affordable vacuums, so the company is trustworthy). This one has a built-in light to illuminate dirt, a vacuum function to suck up dirt (so it doesn’t just get pushed around), and a spray mop to fully absorb and clean floors.

Another good deal from Shark: Its portable carpet and upholstery cleaner, now $110. It comes with a dual-activated formula to remove spots and stains.

After months of testing, writer Erin Schwartz named this the best overall clothing steamer because it heats up quickly, covers a large surface area (Schwartz used it on bedding in addition to clothes), and has five different settings. It’s also favored by Kate Young, Uma Thurman’s stylist, and Strategist fashion writer Ambar Pardilla.

For all the planting and repotting you’ve got planned this spring.

Nespresso makes the best pod-based espresso machines. They’re exceedingly easy to use, brew in a matter of seconds, and work with Nespresso’s pods that comes in a huge variety of flavors. And the machines are well priced, especially when they’re on sale. Depending on the color — this one also comes in pink and black, blue and black, and butter yellow and white — it’s as low as $89 right now.

Senior kitchen and dining writer Emma Wartzman named this Dutch oven the best inexpensive option after testing it with multiple recipes (including meatballs, one-pot chicken and rice, and beans). She loves the rounded bottom and color selection. Druckman is also a big fan — she’s had it for years and still reaches for it often.

Ninja’s smokeless indoor grill lets you whip up your favorite barbecue foods without a backyard. The grate can also roast, bake, and broil — or you can use the crisper basket to air fry or dehydrate.

“Cuckoo rice cookers are the most common ones you’ll see in Korean households,” says Wartzman, and the company makes one of her favorites — the pressure cooker–rice cooker combo. But any Cuckoo rice cooker is a safe bet, and this one makes 12 cups of cooked rice, has a self-cleaning setting, and looks rather nice too.

Wartzman also relies heavily on her Nutribullet to whip up salad dressing, pasta sauce, and salsa for a crowd (the jar has a much larger capacity than it seems). The blades slice through full herb stems and garlic cloves alike, plus all varieties of fruit for smoothies. This version is even more powerful than the original and comes with two cups with to-go lids.

I’m a lazy cook, and the only thing that makes dinner easier — other than ordering takeout — is my pressure cooker. It’s easy to throw in a bunch of ingredients (my favorites are chili and loaded rice) and set it and forget it. And it replaces the need for tons of other gadgets and cookware.

Named our best overall hand mixer (it’s beloved by pros like Natasha Pickowicz and Caroline Schiff), this five-speed hand mixer is fast, powerful, and easy to clean. It also comes in nine lovely colors, all of which are 25 percent off.

Vitamix makes many of our favorite blenders, and right now its immersion version is $100 off. It has all the bells and whistles: a whisk attachment, blending jar, storage case, and mini chopper attachment for smoothies, soups, sauces, and more.

Junior writer Bella Druckman loves to cook and, as a result, has tried many a pair of oven mitts. KitchenAid’s silicone mitts are a solid option for those on a budget, she says. They’re heat resistant up to 500 degrees, come in lots of colors, and are now just $11 for a set.

For meal prep, leftovers, and to-go lunches, Wartzman recommends these airtight, leak-free containers. They’re dishwasher and freezer safe, and you can stick them in the microwave with the lids on thanks to their built-in vents. The best part is how cleanly the containers stack (no more toppling Tupperware cabinets).

Liza Corsillo, he Strategist’s toy expert, is a big fan of Melissa & Doug’s wooden play sets. This one is half off and will teach kids skills like hand-eye coordination and counting.

The newest model of Amazon’s kid-friendly tablet is $40 off. It comes in a sturdy case to protect it against drops and has an easy-to-use Parent Dashboard that makes it simple to control what kids can and can’t access.
