Get ready – Amazon Prime Day 2025 is almost here, and this year it’s bigger than ever. For the first time, the mammoth sale will run for four full days, kicking off on Tuesday 8 July. Expect thousands of deals across tech, from TVs, laptops and Apple gear to vacuums and air fryers from Ninja, plus big savings on beauty, mattresses and Amazon’s own devices.
I’ve been covering Prime Day for five years, so I know how to sort the real savings from the hype. I’ve tested, reviewed and tracked the price histories of hundreds of products, from beauty to appliances – so when I say a deal’s worth grabbing, I mean it. As always, the sale is exclusive to Prime members (£8.99 per month, Amazon.co.uk), and you can currently get a free trial.
Many of the biggest brands have already started slashing prices. As ever, The Independent’s team of shopping experts and I will be liveblogging the whole thing, curating the best offers as they drop and flagging anything worth your time (and binning the rest). From price history tips to lightning deal alerts, stick with us for real-time updates throughout the build-up and all four days of Prime Day.

These electric toothbrush deals will make you smile
Amazon Prime Day is known for mega discounts on electric toothbrushes, so there’s no better time to upgrade your current model.
In fact, some top models from Oral-B and Philips Sonicare are already discounted. Whether you’re after smart features like AI brushing feedback, pressure sensors, or simply a reliable brush that leaves your teeth feeling professionally cleaned, there’s likely to be a deal that suits your needs and budget.
Philips Sonicare DiamondClean smart: Was £399.99, now £203, Amazon.co.uk

In his review, Steve found the Diamondclean smart to be a premium electric toothbrush that combines sleek design with smart features. The standout detail is its “special charging glass,” which doubles as both a wireless charger and a regular rinsing cup: “a genuinely clever solution” for those mindful of bathroom aesthetics, even if not hugely practical.
The toothbrush itself is praised for its elegant look and long-lasting battery (lasting a week between charges). Plus, now you can grab one of your own with a 40 per cent discount.
