Apple

These reliable trackers send out Bluetooth signals meant to be detected by other devices  (anonymously) that pop up via Apple's "Find My" map. They use the entire worldwide network of connected iOS devices to help you find anything you've misplaced. So that means you can locate them, whether in your luggage, briefcase, bag or tucked away in a pocket, using your iPhone. You can use the phone's "Precision Finding" feature to locate the item your tracker is attached to.

Thanks to their long-lasting battery, you can leave Apple AirTags connected to your belongings for up to one year. They're also water-resistant in case you happen to get caught in the rain while carrying one.

Regularly $30 each, you can find them on Amazon now for $25 ahead of Prime Day.


12" All-Clad D3 stainless fry pan with lid: $100 (save 58%)

Sur La Table

Considering how much this All-Clad pan has going for it, this deal is a real steal. It's lighter in weight compared to cast iron skillets and, unlike nonstick pans, it can handle high-heat cooking (you can put this in the oven up to 600 degrees). Its aluminum core allows the pan to heat quickly, hold onto heat well and distribute it evenly. And at 12 inches in diameter, you have plenty of room to sauté veggies for a stir fry or get a nice sear on a few pieces of salmon. We really like that this works with induction cooktops and that the skillet comes with a lid, which makes stove-to-oven cooking both safe and easy (glass lids can't handle high oven temperatures). 

The pan's beautiful exterior material, stainless steel, is durable enough that when taken care of properly, it can last years.

The All-Clad D3 stainless steel frying pan has a 4.8-star rating on Amazon. One reviewer wrote: "Had this pan for 2-plus years. I use it almost every day and it's still perfect. Just a bit of monthly maintenance and it'll last forever. Definitely worth the money."

Another verified customer said, "I recently got rid of all my Teflon-type cookware and am replacing [it] with All-Clad D3. I absolutely love this cookware and once you learn how to properly cook on it (heat the pan sufficiently first before adding oil or food--check out the vids on YouTube), it's wonderful to cook on. The food even tastes better, more crispy. And it's freakin' beautiful." 


iRobot Roomba Vac Essential robot vacuum: $220 (12% off)

Amazon

Featuring a three-stage cleaning system, the iRobot Roomba Vac Essential robot vacuum can handle carpets and hard surface floors like a pro. The robot vacuum also has three levels of suction power, so you can choose between a more thorough clean and quiet operation.

We like that the iRobot Roomba Vac Essential can be scheduled to clean automatically in neat rows, or can start cleaning via Alexa voice commands. There's also a spot-cleaning setting where the robot will spin in place for up to two minutes.

It cleans for up to 120 minutes on a single charge and automatically returns to its base when its battery is low. The vacuum will alert you when its filter or brushes need replacing.

Regularly $250, you can get this budget robot vacuum for just $220 at Amazon now ahead of Amazon Prime Day 2024.


Shark AI Ultra voice control robot vacuum: $300 (save 50%)

Shark AI Ultra voice control robot vacuum
Amazon

This powerful robot vacuum is an expert at lifting dirt from a variety of floor types, from carpets to hard floors. Thanks to its self-cleaning brush roll, it can power through hair, debris, pet hair, and other nastiness with the greatest of ease.

It cleans in a grid pattern that takes multiple passes over the dirtier parts of your home so you get a deep clean. It can map your home using 360-degree LiDAR vision as well, so it knows where it should be headed and avoids obstacles all on its own.

Plus, when it's full, this vacuum empties itself back at its base, where it can hold up to 60 days of detritus. Its bagless base means no pricey add-ons, either. All you have to do is empty the reservoir when it's full.

Set a cleaning schedule, tell your vacuum to clean on command, or adjust settings with the robot's voice control options. It works with Alexa and Google Assistant for quick setup, so it's good to go when you're ready to issue commands.
