A hundred bucks doesn't go as far as it used to, but for the two days of Amazon's major Prime Day shopping event, it will at least go much farther. For two days--July 11 and 12--Amazon extends thousands of discounts to Prime subscribers only. Other major retailers offer their own competing discounts to join in the fun. Whether it's a wireless charging stand, a portable SSD, or that video game you've been dying to try, this is a good time to pick up gear that will change your life but which seems absolutely frivolous at a higher price. We'll keep our list of the best Prime Day deals under $100 updated throughout the event. Updated July 11: We added the Echo Dot with clock, Echo Show 8, Colgate Hum, Amazon Smart Plug, Fitbit Charge 5, Blue Yeti and Blue Yeti Nano, LifeStraw, Samsung 980 SSD, Flexispot Adjustable Table, Govee Floor lamp, Moment Tote, Gift Cards, and Subscribe & Save.

Like the oozing black river that gave it its name, Amazon Prime Day flows through another year. It's spreading across the internet delta too--it's now two days long, and last year there were two separate Prime Day events. This year's, ahem, prime Prime Day sales event starts now and runs through the end of July 12. We've spent hours combing through thousands of lists to find the absolute best Prime Day deals on WIRED-tested gear, from Alexa-enabled speakers and robot vacuums to laptops and tablets. Many of these deals may require a membership, including Amazon Prime, Target Circle, or Walmart Plus. Amazon Prime has a free 30-day trial if you don't already have it (set a reminder to cancel it before it automatically renews). Target Circle is free to sign up, but you'll need to save the offer to your account from the main offer page or on the actual buy page for a particular item to see the deal price at checkout. Many of Walmart's deals are in early access for subscribers but will be available for everyone later in the day. Updated July 11: We added the Colgate Hum, Motorola Razr, Niu KQi3 scooter, Victrola Re-spin, Arzopa G12 portable monitor, HyperX gaming headset and Sony WH-1000XM5.

It'll wake you up to your favorite playlists and read you the weather if you like. The 4th gen Echo is our favorite Alexa speaker. It offers room-filling sound with good detail and a 3.5-mm output for connecting to larger speaker systems. Our only gripe is that, despite listening to you 24/7, Alexa is still not great at picking up commands when loud music is playing.

If you love the deals that come with Amazon Prime Day but don't love Amazon, or don't pay for a Prime membership, you can enjoy similar discounts at Target. The retailer's competing sale, this year called Target Circle Week, runs from July 9 to 15. Amazon's Prime Day falls on July 11 and 12. Nothing beats a free afternoon roaming the aisles of Target, picking up random things as you go along, but some of these discounts are worth the virtual shopping spree. Note: You need to register for Target Circle to see and save the deals. It's free to sign up. You will need to save the offer to your account from the main offer page or on the actual buy page for a particular item to see the deal price at checkout.

For any number of reasons, some people might not want to shop at Amazon, regardless of how low Prime Day discounts go. So it's good news that the sale prompts other retailers, including Walmart, Target and B&H Photo to also offering some pretty strong deals of their own -- some of which match or beat those at Amazon. We're also seeing sales on devices the super e-retailer doesn't typically carry, like the Google Nest Hub and the Apple HomePod. Here are the best anti-Prime Day sales from outlets that aren't Amazon. We think Sony's WH-1000XM5 are the best wireless headphones you can get and they're on sale at B&H Photo for the same all-time low as at Amazon.

"This is a picket line," says Rachel Fagan emphatically. The GMB union's Midlands regional organiser stands in front of a line of striking workers several rows deep at Amazon's vast BHX4 warehouse in Coventry, during industrial action designed to embarrass the online behemoth during a high-profile sales event. About 900 workers at the Coventry warehouse are taking three days of strike action from 11 July to 13 July, coinciding with its Prime Day sales event on Tuesday and Wednesday. Along the picket line, one worker holds up a placard carrying the union's familiar refrain: "I am not a robot." The latest industrial action will bring the total strike days at Amazon to 22 since January, when the first UK strikes in the history of the company took place.

So are all the things we'd like to fill said homes with.

We've rounded up all the best Prime Day home and kitchen deals worth shopping for. Note: Many of these deals may require a membership, including Amazon Prime, Target Circle, or Walmart Plus.

It's back and here to ruin our savings and increase the gadgets in our homes. Yes, Amazon Prime Day isn't entirely about headphones, tablets and wearables, but for Engadget staff… well, it feels like it is. Prime Day deals on tech are typically only matched by Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, making it a good time to pick up any devices you want – at a discount. In the past, the best devices often weren't given the Prime Day discount treatment, but this year has several things I not only bought myself but have recommended to friends and family. That includes $50 off the second-generation AirPods Pro (literally using them as I write this newsletter), last year's Kindle e-reader, down from $100 to $65 and, my pick for the best smartphone under $500, the Google Pixel 7a, now a dollar shy of $450.
