Amazon Prime Day is here, and you don't have to spend hours scouring the site's pages like we do to feel overwhelmed with the sale's breadth. With so many brands, dupes, and gadgets competing for your attention, not every red price cut is worth your time or your money.
That's one of the reasons we test and research products year-round to help shoppers spend their money wisely. Part of our research includes scouring platforms like Reddit for what real people are saying, including subreddits like r/BuyItForLife, where users recommend their favorite rice cookers, coffee makers, smart plugs, and more, specifically because they last a long time.
And even if you're not in the market for a toolkit that will survive the apocalypse, there are lots of other subreddits that go wild when community-favorite items go on sale. There are even subreddits dedicated to finding the best deals on espresso devices or the lowest prices on Asian beauty products.
Our team scoured these niche subreddits to bring you the best niche recommendations that our obsessive product journalists cosign. And if you want more of our expertly culled deal lists, see our full catalog of the best Amazon Prime Day deals.
