Amazon will celebrate its 10th Prime Day on July 16, but you don't have to wait till then to start shopping. Prime Day deals are happening now with discounts on everything from coffee machines to OLED TVs. I've been covering Prime Day since its first year and for me Prime Day deals offer the best discounts on Amazon's own hardware. 

So if you've been meaning to replace an old Echo speaker or secure your home with some Blink security cameras, now is the time to do it. Yes, there will be a lot of junk deals on Prime Day. But the Tom's Guide team is here to highlight the best deals you can get on items we own or recommend. 

One of my personal favorite early Prime Day deals takes up to 60% off Amazon hardware. It's a predictable sale, but one of the most aggressive discounts I've seen from Amazon ahead of Prime Day. (Note: not all Echo speakers aren't on sale yet, so I'd hold fire on purchasing any Echo devices). 

Make sure to keep this page bookmarked for everything Prime Day-related. Alternatively, for more ways to save, make sure to check out our list of the best Amazon promo codes this week.

What is Amazon Prime Day?

Prime Day is an annual retail holiday celebrated by Amazon, typically during the month of July. During the 48-hour event — which is for Prime members only — Amazon offers sitewide discounts on everything from 4K TVs to kitchen appliances. However, Amazon hardware tends to receive the biggest discounts. In fact, outside of Black Friday/Cyber Monday — Prime Day is when you'll find the lowest prices on Amazon devices like Echo speakers, Fire TVs, and Ring security cameras. It's worth mentioning that last year we saw two major retail events from Amazon. There was Prime Day during the summer and the Prime Early Access sale in October. The latter didn't offer Prime Day deals per se, but was instead a kick-off event to the holiday shopping season. 

What are the origins of Prime Day?

The first Prime Day was held in July of 2015 as a way to celebrate Prime members on Amazon's then 20th anniversary. Since then, Amazon has celebrated Prime Day every year, usually during the month of July. The event's overall purpose is to get more consumers to subscribe to Amazon's Prime membership by teasing them with deals. 

Were Prime Day deals any good last year? 

Amazon is known for offering solid deals during major shopping events and this year's Prime Day was no exception. 

In addition to deals on Amazon hardware, the retailer offered deals on major brands like Nespresso, Philips, Samsung, iRobot, LEGO, Melissa & Doug and Hasbro. Amazon claims that Prime Day features their lowest prices of the year, and in some cases, that's certainly true. (Excluding Black Friday deals, which come later in the year with even lower prices). 

Nevertheless, we always recommend consumers proceed with caution as every retailer has its fair share of bogus deals. So we recommend that you always price check deals using a site called CamelCamelCamel. The site lets you track the price history of select items sold out Amazon. You can also read our guide on using CamelCamelCamel to save money on Amazon.

Prime Day vs Walmart deals event

Prime Day deals are exclusive to Amazon. However, the past few years have seen an uptick in deals from competing retailers. If you're not a Prime member, or simply don't want to partake in Prime Day, your best bet for alternative deals will come from Best Buy and Walmart. Both retailers will closely price match many of Amazon's deals and in some cases, they may offer discounts that Amazon doesn't. 

For instance, through July 11 the
