There are only a few more hours left till the end of Prime Day 2020. Time is running out to shop the best deals of the year and this might be your last chance to get the best tech products at such low prices. With every second that ticks by, more deals end, and more products run out of stock. The time to shop is now. Jump on these Prime Day 2020 deals now or risk having to wait a whole year to see discounts like these again.

If you’re a shopper holding out hope for better deals come Black Friday we’re here to tell you that it’s not a good idea. Black Friday season begins in November — only a month after Prime Day — and big tech retailers like Amazon might not have time to restock all the must-have products that run out of stock during Prime Day. This means there will be fewer deals stacked up against high demand. You’ll have to compete against thousands of shoppers just to pick up one smart home device or iPhone accessory. Shipping delays will also be more common so any item you buy might not make it in time for Christmas.

Many popular products might not even see any Black Friday sales due to low stock this year, so keep that in mind. There’s also no need to stress out about missing any big discounts on the same products during Black Friday. We don’t expect to see bigger price drops during Black Friday or even Cyber Monday, so taking advantage of these Prime Day 2020 deals is your best bet for holiday shopping.

We’ve rounded up all our favorite offers from this year’s Prime Day sale below — including everything from smart home devices, smartphones tablets, headphones, and more. Remember: These deals aren’t going to be around for much longer and Prime Day ends at midnight tonight. Most of these Prime Day deals will probably run out before then, so if you have a gadget on your mind, buy it right now before you miss your chance. These are the best prices you’re going to see all year long.

What goes on sale on Prime Day?

Prime Day is Amazon's biggest sales event of the year. Since launching in 2015 to celebrate Amazon's birthday, Prime Day deals have gone from strength to strength with 2020's Prime Day achieving record-breaking sales up 45.2% on the previous year. With over $10 billion worth of goods bought globally during the sales event, it's a fantastic time for you -- the consumer -- to dive in and pick up a great Prime Day deal. Read on as we look at exactly what goes on sale during the two-day sales event and what to expect from the big shopping event.
What do I need to do to buy on Prime Day?
Unlike other sales events, there is an exclusivity factor to Prime Day. Only Prime members can benefit from the savings going on during the two-day event although consumers partaking in a free 30-day trial of Prime can also be a part of the massive shopping event. Make sure you have a Prime membership in some form in time for the sale.
What can I buy during Prime Day?
Honestly, mostly everything. We'll dive into further detail about what kind of deals tend to occur but it's safe to say that pretty much everything can be on sale during Prime Day. Initially a big event for Amazon-branded products and technology, Prime Day now covers all kinds of things from cooking equipment to cleaning gear, books, Blu-rays, and much more. As with any sales purchase, we strongly recommend checking out all our buying guides and best products roundups so that you've thoroughly researched what you're looking to buy.
What to expect in the Prime Day sales
Amazon Products
Understandably, Amazon is always keen to discount its own products during the Prime Day sales. Each year, we tend to see big discounts on a wide range of Amazon-based products. These include price cuts for Amazon Kindle, Amazon Fire tablets, Amazon Echo smart speaker devices, Fire TV sticks, along with other products owned by Amazon.

In recent times, that's meant discounts on the Ring Video Doorbell along with smart plugs and other devices to make your home smarter in how it runs. Basically, if a product has Alexa support, it's often reduced during the Prime Day sales which can even mean price cuts for Alexa-enabled TVs and robotic vacuums.
Technology
Technology is one of the biggest areas where you'll see price cuts during the Prime Day sales. That area can cover a wide range of products. Generally, there are discounts on the latest smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy range as well as major laptop brands. Prime Day 2020 saw a massive $150 on the Apple MacBook Air and we'd expect to see similar again this year. Other brands such as the Microsoft Surface, numerous Chromebooks, and Windows laptops from Asus and Lenovo are likely to be discounted too.
