    Its Amazon Prime Day

    What are you getting?

    SWMBO has asked me to get an Echo Dot for our niece - having been convinced by the quality of these little things when I bought them for the spare rooms.

    I'm getting an Echo Flex to turn the dumb speaker in the shed into an Alexa enabled speaker so I can listen to the radio without my phone.

    Got a Grill/Panini press - currently on lightning deals:

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0974ZHC1N

    Can always send it back if it turns out to not be as good as my other choice.

    Was hoping for something in the PC graphics area, but as usual most of the tech on offer is Amazon brand or just SSD/m2 storage.

    Return and get a refund! Think you have 14 days under distance selling rules.

    Can you send a link to this offer, I can only find them at a much higher price.

    Ive just ordered a go-pro 9 hero, 245...can get it for that price or thereabouts, pretty easily, it comes with a free protective case too...so they cost a few quid on top, so not a bad deal I thought.

    Nik it came up on an instagram feed this morning. Three cameras not sure if there was the little square router too. Ill have another look.

    Just checked they are doing two plus router for 67 and three plus router for 89 now.

    I would just keep an out, these offers just pop up and then disappear

    Ordered a 4m telescopic ladder this morning. It was 25 off in the promotion so not bad. I had been looking for one so this deal worked.

    3 blink cameras plus sync for 89 is what I'm looking at. That or some eufy kit, but unsurprisingly Amazon kit the most discounted.

    I bought a water rowing machine - I was going to buy a WaterRower but was dithering because of the cost, despite the quality. Then the offer popped up and I succumbed to buying a machine at a quarter of the price of the WaterRower. Whether it is a bargain or not, only time will tell. I'm not very fit, so it won't have the most demanding of lives - though hopefully fitness will improve!

    I've got a new kindle.

    Traded in my ancient one and got an additional 20% off (off the prime price, which was already 33% off), and a 15 gift card.

    Seemed a genuine bargain to me, I got 149 worth of kindle for about 60

    I've got one, given to me. It's terrible. The battery drains really quickly, the operating system is some horrible android version chained to Amazon apps. It's horrendous.
    Spend a bit more and get a no name Chinese android tablet and be FREE.

    Nothing for me this year

    Prime day gets worse annually

    Got a few things in my Costco basket which I'm debating though. They seem to be having a small prime day of their own.

    I've got a Fire HD10 and I quite like it. Not that tricky to install Google Play onto it and get access to regular Google apps, which is what I did. I had a previous version before that and it lasted pretty decently. That's a decent price as well.

    I'm very tempted by the savings on Shokz headphones. I've got a pair of OpenMoves and I fancy an upgrade.

    Edit: I got the Shokz - 90 rather than 130 is a good saving.

    I've binned my smartphone and gone back to a desktop Mac and a "dumbphone", but wanted something I can throw in a rucksack just in case I need to respond to the odd email while travelling. Bought a Fire 7 (currently 44 on Prime Day), and can't believe how good it is for that price. Sure, it's no iPad, but what do you want for nowt?

    Don't forget to cross-reference your deals with CamelCamelCamel (https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/) to see if the price really is a bargain.

    That's something I'd love to do but my day job needs a smartphone and so does one of my main volunteering roles.

    Echo Show 8 for 65 which is almost half normal price. Wife has wanted one for the kitchen for a while
    Eufy 15C Max Robovac 133, again nearly half price, see if it can keep on top of the dog hair on the hard floor downstairs

    Thanks for heads-up. I've had my eye on the Shokz OpenSwim for a while now, just bought a pair at 30 discount [I swim 3km a day, usually with the pool to myself, it can get dull ... ]

    P.S. I bought the standard Shokz model a few months ago, loving it, my new daily headphones - I do miss the bass though (but not enough for another 110).

    Whilst hiding the dog hair under the Robo is one approach, it might be worth investing in a hoover too? [I'll get me coat ... ]

    There's a great deal for a Google Pixel 7 phone for 'only' 549 which allegedly has an RRP of 778........

    Well it would be a good deal if the same phone wasn't already on sale at 499 on the Google website.

    Amazon AAA batteries that I meant to order last week - 38% off so that is something useful, but after all the hype very anticlimactic.

    Followed your lead. Hope they are decent for the price as too tired to research

    Got a nice Karcher pressyre washer (K3 power control) for just over 100.

    I got 2 Echo Studio and Hue lightbulb packages. They were 170 each which is a saving of over 60.

    Then some random stuff; outside lights, kitchen spatulas, a Chinese vegetable cleaver.

    My wife wanted a robot lawnmower but the deals werent great on what she wanted, so will look another time.

    Was seriously considering the Sony WF-1000MX4s but my stupid brain failed to compute that Prime Day was just one day.

    I think it was two days. The 11th and 12th.

    The JBL's sound great but my wife nabbed them. The Sony's were the only choice for me as an upgrade.

    No doubt someone will be selling some nearly new earbuds on SC very soon.
