Every day, rain or shine, Amazon is going to have a boatload of deals. But with millions of products and thousands of deals, how can you know for sure if something is actually worth buying?
That's where we come in. We use our own lab and testing results to determine which products are actually good enough to buy and use in. Then we look at the price history for each product to determine how good of a deal you're actually getting. When the stars align, those are the deals we bring to you so you never miss an impeccable sale on something you'll be so happy you own.
1. Best price since Prime Day: KitchenAid stand mixers
Whenever KitchenAid's insanely popular stand mixers go on sale, we take notice. And right now Amazon is running a Deal of the Day on the 6-quart model for just $260. This is a single dollar more expensive than the best price we've seen for this model, which happened at the tail end of Prime Day. The deal price, a whopping $156 less than the recent price, is for the classic Empire Red, Contour Silver, and Onyx Black models, which all come with 14 attachments

2. Best price: An amazing rechargeable flashlight
We've tested a lot of everyday carry flashlights to find the best, and Anker's LC40 ($19.99 on Amazon) won our pick for Best Value and earned itself an Editors' Choice award. The LC90 has all the same features we love, like a tough, waterproof exterior and a USB-rechargeable battery. But the LC90 has even more to offer, including a zoomable beam with 900 lumens for a brighter light, more than double the LC40's 400 lumens. Right now, it's just a few cents over $20, matching the best price we've ever seen and nearly the same price as its less powerful counterpart.

3. Under $25: The perfect accessory for your Alexa speaker
When Amazon first announced the Echo Wall Clock, I was so stoked. Having a visual timer makes it easier for me to plan my next actions, whether I'm cooking, steeping tea, working out in my living room, or getting ready for work. When you sync this clock with your Echo smart speaker, you just have to ask Alexa to set a timer and it'll appear right on the clock's minute markers. Once you're down to the last minute, the lights will count down until the Echo itself starts beeping.
Right now, you can get it for $5 less than usual, a rare sale I am pumped to share with you. It doesn't have the highest reviews from Amazon shoppers because it had some battery-eating and connectivity issues early on, but a few software updates later and the one I've been testing for nearly a year is still going strong. I don't even remember the last time I changed the batteries.

4. Under $40: A personal blender that wont take up space
If you need to blend smoothies or make creamy dressings and sauces, you're going to want a powerful blender. But if you have limited counter space, you might want to go with a smaller, personal blender. The Ninja Fit is our favorite personal blender because it's easy to store away, comes with convenient lids for sipping on-the-go, and is easy to clean up. Right now, you can get it for its lowest price on Amazon (as well as from Walmart).

5. Best price of the year: Smart lighting you'll love
Smart lights will change your life, and Philips Hue makes the absolute best smart lighting ecosystem out there. And once you've replaced all your incandescent bulbs in your ceiling and floor lamps, odds are you'll want to do even more. That's where these amazing lightstrips come in. They integrate seamlessly with your existing Hue system and offer the same breadth of thousands of colors. You can link them with other bulbs to create scenes, change their colors, and even activate a lightshow that plays off your music for your next party. Right now they are down the lowest price we've seen this year, less than $10 more than their best price ever.
