You don’t have the wait until after Turkey Day: early summer is actually one of the best times of the year to snag a deal. Amazon is kicking off its annual summer sale on 23 June, and just as Christmas songs start playing in stores two months early, the company and many other retailers are slashing prices in advance.
We’ve handpicked 31 of the best deals based on products the Filter has tested and loved in the past, including discounts on some of our favorite brands such as Field Company, Anyday and Caraway. If you want to shop at Amazon, we’ve handpicked products that are actually worth your money, and very few require a Prime subscription. If you prefer other retailers, we have oodles of those too.

Vitamix 5200 Blender
The Vitamix 5200 gets our stamp of approval as the best blender money can buy, and at $70 off, we have an even more compelling reason to add to cart (and countertops). “Whether I was sipping a smoothie, spooning a soup or (let’s be real) dipping a finger into a batch of pesto, this blender produced luscious, vibrant results,” according to Marian Bull, our tester.

Anyday Four-Piece Glass Round Dish Set + Cookbook Bundle
These Anyday glass food storage containers were a game-changer for Emily Farris, our kitchen gear expert and tester. Stackable and compact enough to store, they’ll help you keep track of leftovers before they go bad in the back of the fridge. Grab this four-piece set (plus a free cookbook) for 11% off.
***
NutriBullet Original Personal Blender
Out of every high-tech kitchen gadget the chef Rukmini Iyer uses, this personal blender gets the most mileage. “It gets used several times a day for smoothies, pesto and the like. And it makes the smoothest, most velvety soup,” she says. It’s now nearly 40% off at Kohl’s, where you can knock an additional 20% off at checkout with the code GET20 until 21 June.
***
Caraway Clean Start Bundle
Caraway’s ability to churn out a proper nonstick pan is well-documented. If you’re lucky enough to own an induction stove, the 40-piece bundle of the best induction cookware we’ve ever tested is now 48% off. In testing, we found it transitions seamlessly from the stovetop to the oven, feels lightweight and features a mess-proof, nontoxic, nonstick surface.
***
De’Longhi Rivelia Automatic Espresso Machine
If you’ve had your sights set on becoming your own barista, let this deal of 20% off the best bean-to-cup coffee machine we’ve tested be your sign to upgrade your morning. “It’s impressive to see how much De’Longhi has packed in for the money,” says Filter reviewer Sasha Miller. “The touchscreen interface is top-notch, and the coffee is among the best I’ve tasted from a bean-to-cup machine at any price.”
***
Le Creuset Signature Petite Cocotte
For a display-worthy dessert or mac and cheese boasting an impeccable cuisson, fewer brands do it better than Le Creuset. “If you’re not quite ready to invest in a Dutch oven, try out one of the heritage French cookware brand’s small cocottes,” contributor Megan Wahn recommends. Add it to your meal prep rotation in all 12 colorways for 31% off.

Bedsure Gentlesoft Bubble Faux Fur Blanket
We said it: those Instagram-famous Lola Blankets that cost $275 are way overhyped. Sure, it has that luxurious bubbly texture, but we found a dupe at less than a quarter of the price. The Bedsure is just as soft and warm, and made from the same Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified faux fur. Unlike the Lola Blanket, it literally gives you more for your money thanks to its extra 10in of length. And it’s on sale right now for 20% off.

Best tech deals
Apple AirPods Pro 3
If you own an iPhone, these are the headphones to buy. After testing 41 other pairs, Simon Cohen, the Filter’s audio expert, deemed them the best wireless headphones for Apple fans, due in part to all their unique features. They can work as a remote for your phone camera, as heart-rate monitors, and even as hearing aids. Apple released the AirPods Pro 3 less than a year ago, and this is the cheapest we’ve ever seen them.

Get $50 off in all colorways.
***
Sonos Move 2
As the brand’s biggest and boldest speaker yet, the Move 2 is equipped to provide the soundtrack to all your core summer memories. Bottom line: “If you’re a believer in the buy-it-for-life philosophy, Sonos more than justifies the Move 2’s premium price,” according to Cohen. Nab it now for 25% off.

Best fashion and beauty deals
Shark FlexStyle Air Multi-Styler
Instead of letting the summer humidity get the best of your strands, look to this Filter-vetted multi-styler, which our tester Juno DeMelo says “will give you identical results for nearly half the price” of pricier models. At 43% off in the Stone colorway, it’s even more accessible.

A fashion expert recently told us these giftable Ugg slippers are the “perfect autumn-winter shoe staple for coffee catchups with the girls or cozy market days”, but at 30% off in the neutral taupe colorway, they’re also a serious score worth snapping up before they revert to full price – or sell out in the cold months.
***

These thick and velvety sweatpant jeans were comfortable enough to work out and nap in, and now you can experience that same versatility for 60% off in both the dark navy and black wash versions. “If comfort is your main goal, Gap is the way to go with its heavyweight fabric and chunky waistband that could effectively replace your pajamas,” according to my review.
***
Aligne Mavis Reversible Jacket
You’re essentially getting two garments in one with this reversible barn jacket, but sweetening the deal further is its 35% discount. “Instead of defaulting to denim and leather jackets, switch things up with structured pieces like cropped trench coats or barn jackets,” Des Awofeso, a personal stylist, told us.
