Amazon Prime Day means that summer is here. And summer means it’s time to get outside and fire up the grill for al fresco dining during the warm evenings. If your grill hasn’t survived the winter chill, then there are some excellent deals at Amazon worth eyeing up for a potential replacement.

We’ve rounded up some of the best deals on Weber grills you can currently get. Check out that article for the full list, but here’s five top discounts I’m particularly impressed by.

Save big on Sonos

Sonos has had its troubles over the last year, but the brand still makes some of the best high-end, multi-room audio equipment you can buy. And while it’s usually on the costly side, Amazon has slashed prices on a bunch of Sonos gear for Prime Day.

If you want some headphones, then the Sonos Ace are now just $299 at Amazon, thanks to a $150 discount while the epic Sonos Sub Mini is down to $343 at Amazon as well.

A standalone VR headset for even cheaper

If you’ve been thinking about trying our a VR headset, then you’re in luck as Amazon has the Meta Quest 3S for its lowest price yet.

What’s great about this VR headset is that it’s completely standalone which means you don’t have to plug it into your computer or a game console. Instead, you can play the best VR games like Beat Saber, Batman:Arkham Shadows or Super Hot VR from anywhere. However, you can also watch movies, video cat with your friends in virtual reality and more too.

For those itching to give VR a try or even for people who already have but are looking for a new headset, this is a great deal and you also get the game Gorilla Tag Cardboard Hero and three months of MetaQuest+ in this bundle.

Power for any emergency

Whether you’re in the middle of hurricane season or dealing with a power outage from a major winter storm, it’s always good to have a portable power station on hand in case of emergencies.

Right now, you can get the Bluetti AC200L for just $899 on Amazon. That’s 44% off or $700 cheaper than its normal price. This 2048Wh portable power station is absolutely massive and it features 4 standard AC plugs, two 100 USB-C ports for fast charging, two USB-A ports and even a 120V 30A NEMA TT-30 outlet for a refrigerator.

Portable power stations like this one are certainly expensive but there also a great investment for both emergencies and for using in the great outdoors like when you’re camping.

Discounted PS5 games and accessories

Although the PS5 Slim and the new PS5 Pro aren’t on sale for Prime Day, that doesn’t mean you can’t find some great deals on PS5 games and accessories.

Whether you want to add more storage with a WD_Black 2TB SSD for $199, charge your controllers even faster with Razer’s Quick Charging Stand for PS5 for $23 or sink dozens of hours into one of Atlus’ best RPGs yet with Metaphor ReFantazio for $39, there’s something for everyone who already has a PS5 in Amazon’s big summer sale.

LG C5 on sale for 33% off!

Whether you love movies, TV shows, or games, the LG C5 makes them look as good as possible. Though not cheap right out of the gate, and not quite perfect around the edges, the C5 gets enough right to set the standard for OLED TVs in 2025.

LG 65″ C5 4K OLED TV: was $2,696 now $1,796 at Amazon

13-inch MacBook Air M4 for $849!

The 13-inch MacBook Air M4 offers the same design as the previous model but delivers better performance and a sharper camera while also delivering long battery life. We wish Apple had included a nano-texture display option to reduce glare and that the SSD were a bit faster, but at this price, it solidifies this MacBook Air as the best laptop overall.

MacBook Air 13″ (M4/256GB): was $999 now $849 @ Amazon

The perfect Dyson for most homes is on sale…

Dyson V8 Vacuum cleaner

If your house needs a thorough cleaning, you can’t beat a high-end Dyson, such as the V8. It cleans as good as it looks, and it’s on sale for $299 right now. It’s not quite the all-time low of $279, but it’s in the same ballpark, making it worth jumping on.

It’s designed to be super lightweight and promises up to 40 minutes of battery life. Its soft roller cleaner head can tackle all types of hard floors, while its powerful motor head can quickly suck up dirt, dust and pet hair from carpets. It also comes with six, different accessories to suit daily tasks.

From my Apple Watch to my Mac mini M4, I’m deeply invested in the Apple ecosystem. So when I see Apple deals, I can’t help but get psyched. Right now there are a handful of great Prime Day Apple deals. What’s extra great is that all of these deals are from $30 to $50 cheaper than yesterday’s deals.

For example, the Apple Watch 10 is just $279, right now which is a new all-time price low. Check out my top picks below:

Stay cool & hydrated with these epic YETI deals…

I have a YETI Rambler (10-oz) that I use for my morning coffee. I love it because at times my mornings can be busy and before I know it, my hot coffee has been sitting untouched for an hour. The YETI makes sure to keep it hot regardless of when I drink it.

Right now, Amazon is offering some pretty sweet deals on YETI cups, coolers, ice buckets and more starting from $15. There are plenty of deals to help you sip in style this summer, so don’t snooze on these deals.

I love deals that stack! Right now Amazon is taking up to 50% off select Traveler’s Choice luggage. The sale includes carry-ons, luggage sets, expandable luggage, and more.

For a limited time, you can use our exclusive coupon code “TGPRIMEDAY” to save even more off the sale price. For example, this Expandable 2-Piece set drops to $120 via coupon code. It was originally $199.

I’ve highlighted some of my top deals below:

Let’s a-go! The moment you’ve been waiting for. Prime members can now get access to this Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle for $499. You’ll have to be a Prime member and request an invite to buy the console, but I would do that ASAP if I were you. Hit the link below to get the process started.

Score Lego sets from just $8…

I’ll be honest. I didn’t grow up playing with Legos. I was more of a Play-Doh and Mad Scientist kind of kid.

That said, I appreciate that a lot of folks love Legos and that’s why I’m highlighting this deal. Amazon has Lego sets on sale for as low as $8. It includes Lego Disney, Star Wars, Botanicals, Marvel, and more.

My top Prime Day deals under $25

We’re all tightening our budgets this summer. So I get it if you’re looking at Prime Day with a skeptical eye. However, there are some really good steals even if you’re on a tight budget.

My colleague Olivia Halevy has rounded up the best Prime Day deals under $25. They include everything from Yeti cups to Adidas footwear. Check out her personal picks via the link above or check out Amazon’s suggestions via the link below.

I’m a huge Ninja fan and here are the appliances I’d buy…

Ninja Deals

I own a good amount of Ninja appliances. From my coffee machine to an air fryer, I love the quality, durability, and ease of use of my Ninja appliances. Right now Amazon has a bunch of Ninja small kitchen appliances on sale from $44. It includes coffee machines, blenders, air fryers, and everything in between.

What’s extra cool is that a few of them even include a free Amazon credit! Check out my top deals below.

Summer vacation, here I come…

Samsonite luggage deals post

I don’t know about you, but I’m planning on taking some days off post-Prime Day. So naturally this deal speaks to me because I’m in dire need of some new luggage and travel bags. If you’re in the same boat, Amazon has various Samsonite carry-ons and luggage on sale with up to 60% off. The sale includes individual luggage as well as luggage sets, backpacks, and weekend bags — all as cheap as $31.

My favorite Prime Day deal of the day is…

The Mac mini M4 on top of a desk riser shelf

(Image credit: Tom’s Guide)

I love my Mac mini M4. In fact, I would totally buy this deal if I didn’t already own one. Right now Amazon has the Mac mini M4 on sale for $499. (It’s $545, but click the on-page digital coupon to drop it to $499). That’s a sick price for what I think is Apple’s best Mac ever. (And I’ve been using Macs since the Performa 637CD days!)

Don’t believe me? Check out our Mac mini M4 review where — not only did we name it an Editor’s Choice machine — but also said it’s a near perfect upgrade over the Mac mini M2. Yes, the power button is placed oddly underneath the machine, but it’s not that big a deal.

I use my Mac mini for everything and actually own the Mac mini M4 Pro, which is on sale for $1,259. In retrospect, the M4 Pro is probably overkill for my needs, but I still recommend it 100%.

Get those steps in with this under-desk treadmill deal

(Image credit: Tom’s Guide)

I gotta be honest: I really want this. As someone who loves to walk/stay active, I’m semi obsessed with the idea of having an under-the-desk treadmill while I work.

Well, right now you can the DeerRun Walking Pad for just $127. It has a max speed of 3.8 mph, which should be more than enough to not distract you while you work.

My colleague Erin Bashford is in the process of reviewing this Pad and she says she’ll likely give it 4 or 4.5 stars, which is a very favorable rating. You can check out some of her thoughts on the Pad here.

Will Prime Day include Switch 2 stock…?

Switch 2

(Image credit: Tom’s Guide)

It’s Prime Day and if you’re like me — you’re probably wondering will there be Switch 2 restock at Amazon. Sadly, my guess is not. Amazon isn’t even selling the console. In the rare case that they do have Switch 2 restock, it’s gonna sell out in seconds and it definitely won’t be discounted. (Make sure to follow our Switch 2 restock tracker for your best chance to get a console).

However, Amazon does have Switch 2 games and accessories on sale from $14. You can pre-order games like Donkey Kong Bananza for $69 or score deals on travel cases and accessories. Check it all out via the link below.

Dyson’s new Airwrap gets first discount…

(Image credit: Tom’s Guide)

Happy Prime Day, all! Deals editor-in-chief Louis onboard for day one of Prime Day. I’m kicking things off with the kind of deal I like to see on Prime Day.

Right now, Amazon has the Dyson Airwrap i.d. on sale for the very first time. It’s $100 off, which is pretty sweet. My colleague Ashley Thieme has been reviewing and first spotted the deal. She says it smoothened her hair with ease and reduced frizz.

It’s far from cheap at $499, but this is the kind of rare deal we may not see again till the holidays.

Save up to 42% on Kindles

Kindle

Amazon hardware is typically discounted during Prime Day — but Kindle deals are few and far between. Fortunately, Amazon is taking up to 42% off Kindles, including some of the best Kindles we’ve ever tested.

The perfect camera for vloggers

Look no further if you’re just starting out as a vlogger: the Sony ZV-1F is our best cheap camera for vlogging and it’s currently even cheaper. The camera boasts a straightforward control scheme and can record lovely 4K/30p footage and FHD/120fps slow motion footage. Features like Product Showcase make it an absolute winner for quick vlogging.

Get your teeth looking like Rose Geller’s

Say cheese! One of our reviewers swears by the Oral-B iO Series 3 electric toothbrush as she has been using it for years. The base of the neck of the toothbrush has indicator lights to let you know if you are apply too much, not enough, or just the right amount of pressure, which can help maintain a safe clean. It comes with three brushing intestines for safe brushing on the gums and has three cleaning modes.

Fresh cup of Joe, anyone?

Sage Barista Express deal

If you’re a coffee nerd or just enjoy a fresh shot of espresso to start your day, you wouldn’t want to miss out on this deal. The Breville Barista Express is the cheapest it has been in five years. In our 4.5-star review of the Barista Express, we praised its delicious espresso and ease of use. It also boasts an impressive 15-bar pressure and comes with both single and dual-walled portafilters, so you’ll be able to make “true” espresso.

No AirPods? No problem!

If you’re looking for a budget alternative to Apple AirPods, we’ve found a great deal on the EarFun Air Pro 4 buds. In our review of the earbuds, we noted that they sounded magnificent with a well-balanced sound profile and powerful bass. They also boast highly effective ANC that blocks out the world.

These earbuds are already very cheap at their retail price of $79, so why not save some more by buying them in this year’s Prime Day sales?

A fantastic deal on a great beginner drone

The DJI Mini 4K is a fantastic drone for beginners and now it’s cheaper than ever! It’s extremely easy to fly and weighs less than 249g, so you don’t need to necessarily register with the F.A.A. in the U.S. Given its light weight, it’s easy to travel with, and it captures lovely 4K/30fps footage. You can also shoot short-form QuickShots and panoramas, and the 31-minute flight time means you don’t have to worry about running out of charge.

The best Sony headphones deal

Sony WH-1000XM4

Sony recently released their new WH-1000XM6 headphones, but that just means now’s the time to snap up massive savings on their older models. Right now you can get the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones on sale for $193 at Amazon, and they’re a previous winner on our list of the best headphones you can buy.

Brighten up your living space

We rank the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra as the best phone you can buy right now, and you can get it with a 28% discount for Prime Day. The cheapest deal is on the Titanium Gray colorway, which is fine in my books because it looks so sleek.

Huge Keurig deal

Keurig K-Elite

This Keurig coffee maker is a popular deal on Amazon right now. Our Keurig K-Elite review called it “the ultimate Keurig machine” and praised its speedy brew time and consistently delicious results! It’s at its lowest price ever right now.

Right now our choice for the best OLED TV is on sale in a range of sizes at Amazon. Act fast! Yesterday, I saw the 65-inch model go for $1,696, but today its price has gone up to $1,796. Meanwhile, for now, the 42-inch seems to be at its lowest price ever at $1,096.

Striking Philadelphia union workers reach deal with city

Published

on


From Philly and the Pa. suburbs to South Jersey and Delaware, what would you like WHYY News to cover? Let us know!

“The work stoppage involving District Council 33 and the City of Philadelphia is OVER,” Mayor Cherelle Parker announced on social media early Wednesday morning.

A marathon negotiation session Tuesday between the city and its blue collar workers’ union responsible for trash pick-up and other duties around the city has resulted in a tentative contract agreement.

DC33 President Greg Boulware was exhausted after the 12-hour negotiation session and said they did what they had to do.

“There’s a lot of factors involved in what was going on and we ultimately did what we thought was in the best interest of all of our membership,” Boulware said.

The deal appears to be a complete win for the city because it got just about everything Parker wanted with a 3% raise in each of the three years of the deal. It’s a deal the Parker administration is calling “historic.”

When adding in the 5% increase the city agreed to last year to extend DC33’s contract by one year, the increase for the union over Parker’s four-year term will total 14%. That’s still well below the 32% total pay increase the union was fighting for.

“Your union stood up and fought for you and we did the best we can with the circumstances we had in front of us,” Boulware said.

Those circumstances include workers expecting to miss a paycheck Thursday.

Union officials have told workers to return to the job pending a ratification vote.

Nine thousand members of American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees District Council 33 went on strike July 1. The strike has resulted in massive piles of trash piling up on city streets and around trash drop-off sites designated by the city.

The strike also resulted in changes to the city’s annual Fourth of July concert with headliner LL Cool J and city native Jazmine Sullivan both dropping out.

Texas’s Camp Mystic was ‘a place of joy’. Floods turned it into a site of great loss | Texas floods 2025

Published

on


The loss of 27 campers and counsellors from Camp Mystic to the Texas Hill Country flood may serve, at a terrible cost, to expand its considerable reputation across Texas and beyond. Even as the floods claimed more lives along the valley – more than 100 confirmed dead and 160 people unaccounted for as of Tuesday – the loss of several “Mystic Girls” has dominated the headlines.

The camp, which offers two four-week terms and one two-week term over the summer, has been the go-to summer camp for daughters of Texans for nearly a century. It’s so popular that fathers have been known to call the registrar to get their daughters on the list from the delivery room.

The camp, which spans more than 700 acres, has been widely described as an all-girls Christian camp, lending an image of baptisms in the river, but the religious component may be overstated: the camp is known as one of dozens along the Guadalupe River that Texan families send their young to escape the brutal heat of the lowlands.

Now at least one-half of Camp Mystic, which was due to celebrate its centenary next year, lies in ruins, torn apart by raging floodwaters. The sound of song and girls playing has been replaced by the sound of chainsaws and heavy equipment as 19 state agencies and thousands of volunteers work to search and clear mounds of flood debris along the river, including the muddied personal items of the campers.

Five days after the flood, the task along the valley has become a search-and-recovery operation: no one has been rescued from the river alive since Friday. In addition to the lost girls, Camp Mystic’s director, Richard “Dick” Eastland, a fourth-generation owner of the camp, died while attempting to bring five girls to safety.

“It tugs at the heart of anyone in the world that see the pictures of those little faces,” said Claudia Sullivan, author of a book on the Camp Mystic experience, Heartfelt: A Memoir of Camp Mystic Inspirations. “To know that they were there, having the time of their life, that they were innocent, and then to be taken away in such a tragic event – it takes you to your knees.”

Most alumni contacted by the Guardian indicated they were too upset to discuss the camp, or its reputation, as Texas Monthly put it in a 2011 article, for serving “as a near-flawless training ground for archetypal Texas women”.

It has served generations of Texas women, often from well-to-do or politically connected Texas families, including the former first lady Laura Bush, who was a counsellor, and the daughters and granddaughters of Lyndon Johnson, former secretary of state James Baker, and Texas governors Price Daniel, Dan Moody and John Connally.


The camp may have been incorrectly characterized as a “Christian” camp. “That evokes the idea of church camp but that’s not the case,” said Sullivan. “It’s a private camp for girls that holds Christian values. When I was there we spent a lot of time talking about being kind to one another and having compassion, and there were people from other denominations and faiths.”

Camp Mystic is better understood, Sullivan added, as being in a place free from pressure.

“You’re in nature, in a beautiful setting, and really removed from the world”, said Sullivan. “It’s a place of joy and innocence – or was. My sense is that it will definitely be rebuilt, but it’s awfully early.”

The outpouring of grief and rush to support the community have been striking. A church memorial service was held on Monday in San Antonio for the “Mystic girls” who had been lost. Many dressed in the camp’s green and white, together in song and prayer.

It was not possible to get to the camp on Tuesday, a tailback of 2.5 hours extended across the 7 miles from Hunt, the nearest hamlet, to Camp Mystic. At the season’s peak in July and August, the camp hosted 750 girls aged between seven and 17 years old – that’s more than half of Hunt’s population of around 1,300.

At Ingram, a riverbank town that also lost dozens from RV camps and homes to the flood, emergency workers and volunteers were pitching in, in many cases in the hope of recovering people still lost, and many bodies likely hidden under large piles of river debris, shattered homes and mangled possessions.

John Sheffield, owner of Ingram’s Ole Ingram Grocery, said the flood had not recognized social differences and nor would the recovery effort: “This is Americans taking care of Americans. There’s been such a tremendous outpouring of support and compassion.”

Down by the river, search crews were continuing to comb through debris and mud. Claud Johnson, the mayor of Ingram, was operating a digger up by Hunt. An EMS van pulled up, suggesting another body had been found. Helicopters continued to move overhead despite an incident on Monday when one was struck by a privately operated drone and was forced to make an emergency landing.

Three baristas from the Aftersome Coffee stand in San Antonio had come up to serve recovery workers. Allyson Bebleu said she had gone to church camp and it had given her some of her fondest memories.

“It’s not just for the wealthiest families, people of all types go to camp,” she said. “Everyone is putting themselves in the shoes of the Camp Mystic girls. It’s tragic.”

Camp Mystic was also the subject of a controversial video recently posed by Sade Perkins, a former member of Houston’s Food Insecurity Board. Perkins was “permanently removed” by John Whitmire, the Houston mayor, after she called Camp Mystic a “whites only” conservative Christian camp without even “a token Asian, they don’t have a token Black person”.

Richard Vela, whose 13-year-old daughter Maya was evacuated from a nearby camp, Camp Honey Creek, on Friday and was still too upset to discuss it, said Perkins’ comments “were not right. You don’t talk about people like that. There’s a lot of death going on and they still haven’t found everybody.”


Bruce Jerome, who was manning an outreach for flood survivors in Ingram, said he had known Jane Ragsdale, the director and longtime co-owner of Heart O’ the Hills Camp, in Hunt, Texas, who had died in the flooding.

“She was just genuinely wonderful,” Jerome said.

Further down the track to the river was Josey Garcia, a Democratic representative for San Antonio in the Texas state house. She and her team were also picking through the debris, pointing out vast piles that still need to be be sifted through.

Garcia, a military veteran, said it was important to come “and collaborate with our neighbors here to recover those that are missing and help Kerr county clean up. We’ve had folks coming from Laredo and outstate Kansas to lend assistance. It’s showing the spirit of Texas – when it comes to lives being devastated its our duty to step.”

Garcia, too, rejected negative characterizations of Camp Mystic.

“I’ve been hearing a lot of the rhetoric that’s been going around. This is not the time for those types of distinctions. I don’t care who was at the camp. All I know is that there are parents and families that are missing their loved ones. Whether it’s rich Caucasian children or any other children, we’d still be there.”

Live updates on Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7 and Watch 8

Published

on


Welcome to Brooklyn, NY where Samsung is unveiling new foldable phones at its latest Galaxy Unpacked event. According to a massive leak yesterday, we’ll likely see the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE. That’s in line with the expectations of Samsung’s usual summer foldable releases that have happened for the past few years.

Adding weight to that report is the fact that Samsung even teased “the next chapter of Ultra” in early June, showing the silhouette of a foldable spinning around in an animation. You can read our whole article on what we expect to see at Unpacked today for the details, in case you can’t wait a few more hours.

Otherwise, buckle in to watch the livestream below and follow live commentary from our own Sam Rutherford on the scene.

To view this content, you’ll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the “Content and social-media partners” setting to do so.

Live36 updates

  • From first impressions this does seem like a huge leap forward in design for the Z Fold. It’s the first time it actually looks like a regular phone when closed.

  • “Is it too slim?”. No such thing, my friend. The Z Fold 7 has been optimized to fit the battery… which is the same size as last year’s model. I suppose it’s thinner, which is impressive.

  • As a three-time Samsung foldable owner, yes, that’s us Mat.

  • Samsung is saying this is the thinnest Z Fold ever while including new adhesive and titanium layers for its flexible display.

  • This is so weird. Samsung is talking about taking on its users’ opinions and thoughts. And what an attractive bunch of typical users! Is this the everyperson buying Samsung foldables?

  • A flashy video showed off the Z Fold 7’s new very thin profile, which looks a lot the Galaxy S25 Edge, ending on the Z Fold 7 taking the place of New York’s famous Flatiron building.

  • Samsung is talking a big game about this thing. The company is promising “breakthroughs without compromise.”

  • There were some wild screams as Won-Joon Choi, the recently appointed COO of the mobile experience division, took the stage. I don’t know why.

  • The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is here.

  • Sorry ya’ll, getting a stable connection here is tough. But TM Roh is getting right into the action with the announcement of the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

  • “This is more than just a new Flip or Fold,” says mobile head TM Roh.

  • Samsung mobile president and “acting head of device experience division” TM Roh has stepped onstage, and is welcoming the audience and giving us a brief history of the company’s phones.

  • The Unpacked keynote has started, and after a quick flash of the usual legal disclaimers, Samsung is now showing us a video.

  • I feel like Fold and Flip owners have such different expectations. I mean a tri-fold sounds pretty rad but personally all I want is the option to pay a little more money for a Flip that has flagship cameras.

  • I agree with Sam. They also teased that next “Ultra” chapter. Will we see a Z Fold Ultra? It should be a trifold, in my opinion!

  • FWIW, this Unpacked event is at the Brooklyn Naval Yard, which is its own weird little corner of town that’s kind of hidden away and hard to get into.

    That said, there is a Wegman’s right down the street, so maybe Samsung was expecting people to stop there first? (I kid.)

  • The rumor I’m most interested in is the possible appearance of Samsung’s tri-fold phone. Info about it has swirling around for a while, but it’s been somewhat unclear if Samsung actually has plans to release it in the US.

    If we do see , I’m betting that it will be as a quick tease or a “one more thing” at the end of the presentation, similar to how they gave us a preview of the S25 Edge at the previous Unpacked event at the beginning of the year.
