The 10 Amazon Prime Day 2025 lightning deals our experts recommend
Lightning Deals can be stressful — our pros help to cut through the chaos.
Great news if you love a great deal – Amazon Prime Day is here for 2025 with major discounts dropping up to midnight on 11 July. This, of course, includes those highly anticipated Lightning Deals.
Lightning Deals are exclusive promotions that have limited inventory and only last a few hours. In other words, once the on-page timer runs out or the product sells out, the discount is over. These deals are incredibly steep — we're talking up to 60% off — but the key is to act fast before they're gone.
This kind of time sensitivity can lead to impulse purchases on things you may not need (or that may not be the highest quality), but we don't want you to get caught up in the frenzy.
This is where our experts come in. Our Good Housekeeping Institute writers and editors have reported on hundreds of sales events between them and know exactly which deals are worth snapping up. We only recommend the products that our editors love or our experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute have tested.
So, you can stop endlessly scrolling – here are the 9 deals worth snapping up now.
Oral-B iO2 Forest Green Electric Toothbrush + Oral-B iO Ultimate Clean White Toothbrush Heads x 3
Score: 92/100
If you're in need of a new toothbrush, now is a great time to bite the bullet (pun intended). The Oral-B iO2 is a super high scorer in our best electric toothbrush test, particularly if you suffer with sensitive teeth. This well-priced bundle includes three toothbrush heads, too.
Score: 80/100
Quick – Dyson's high-end hairstyler is on sale! Our experts found they straightened hair quickly with a single stroke, and despite the discount, you'll still receive the the charging stand and heat-resistant travel pouch. Bargain.
Score: 88/100
These wipes are made from 99% water, and leave out any nasties including parabens, alcohol, and most common allergens. You can never have too many, so now's the time to stock up.
Score: 91/100
Our best ergonomic office chair didn't drop a single mark in testing, thanks to its comfortable and supportive design. There's also a head rest and adjustable lumbar support to ensure your work-from-home set-up is the most luxe it can be!
Score: 82/100
It's so good, we're confident that you'll get through three cans of this hairspray and still be left wanting more…
One tester described it as “the strongest hairspray” they'd ever used, plus, it's vegan and silicone-free.
Amazon Echo Show 8 (Newest gen) + Ring Battery Video Doorbell (2024 release)
This great value bundle combines two products that come highly recommended by our tech editor, Simon Cocks.
The Echo Show 8 is a fantastic smart home hub with a large, clear screen while the Ring Doorbell is easy to set up and a reliable buy for home security (and checking on your latest Amazon delivery).
Our tech editor dubbed this Alexa smart speaker the “most compact and convenient” way to add Alexa to your home.
This bundle also includes a smart light bulb which can be controlled with an Alexa voice command.
Score: 84/100
Prime Day is a good time to stock up on all your essentials and this three pack of Garnier's Micellar Water is going straight in our baskets. Our expert testers crowned it their winning micellar water in our cleanser tests, thanks to its quick and easy makeup-removing powers.
Score: 86/100
With a range of heights for sitting and standing, plus a large workspace, it's no wonder this standing desk claimed our runner-up spot in lab testing.
Assembly was a little complicated but it's certainly worth the end result – especially when it's 37% off.
Score: 78/100
Another bundle worth paying attention to is this shampoo and hair mask set, which you can currently grab at 30% off. The shampoo has been tried and tested by our experts and scored highly for neutralising unwanted undertones and enhancing brightness.
