LIVE Amazon Prime Day 2025: We're Tracking Deals & Trends All Day

Apple's current generation of AirPods is on sale for $90 this Prime Day. Our reviewer did not like them; however, many people do. I wouldn't want to fly to Australia with them, but this generation has 30 hours of battery life and does have USB-C, which alone is worth upgrading from an old pair.

The birds may or may not be awake yet where you are, but there’s a great deal on the smart bird feeder I would buy with my own money this Prime Day after testing nearly 20 models over the past year for our guide to the Best Smart Bird Feeders.

Many feeders that claim to be squirrel-proof, with various alarms, sloped roofs, and even a microphone where you can yell at them through your phone. (Sorry to the parents at my son’s indoor soccer game last month who witnessed this.) However, many feeders have auxiliary solar panels that allow for only bracket or tree mounting, which makes it difficult to abide by the 5-7-9-rule (5 feet off the ground, 7 feet away from structures, 9 feet below anything overhanging—which is the only prevention that really works).

Kiwibit’s new Beako feeder, however, allows for both the feeder and its solar panel to be pole-mounted, meaning the whole setup can be sited on a pole with a baffle. Not a single squirrel has visited the properly 5-7-9-sited Beako in the month I’ve been testing. It also bears mentioning that the Beako is a pretty darn good camera on its own—8K photos with 4K video resolution, long video times, and AI that’s on par with bigger brands’ like Bird Buddy or Birdfy. It requires a subscription for full storage, as do most bird feeder cameras, but you can still access photos and videos without it, and the Kiwibit app is also pretty user-friendly, showing you any new birds at a glance. I also like that the 1.5-liter seed hopper is removable, and has two sides for different feeds.

I am on a never-ending quest to make perfect grilled cheese sandwiches—it's been tough with my kitchen full of vintage cast iron. About a month ago, my colleague Emily Farris from the Bon Appétit team passed me this pan, and it's changed the game when it comes to pancakes and grilled cheese. My 10-year-old daughter even noticed the difference when I brought her a stack of pancakes that weren't "burnt" (read: one degree darker than a vanilla Frappuccino).

This nonstick pan is far more durable than the old nonstick pans I grew up with, which seemingly started flaking if you used the wrong sponge. It's oven-safe up to 900 degrees, which is hotter than my oven gets, and it works with induction. After a decade or so of trying and failing to make omelets in vintage cast iron, I am excited to have reintegrated a little nonstick cookware into my kitchen. This pan is 20% off for Prime Day if you're having the same idea.

I told myself that I’d only buy a new water bottle on Prime Day if it was a good deal and came recommended by the wonderful Boutayna Chokrane. I’m happy to report that this 40-ounce Owala Tumbler will be arriving at my house tomorrow after I snagged it for $28, a savings of $12 off the normal price. (It’s not the FreeSip version that she technically recommends, but it’s the sibling of it, so my logic still works, OK?!) The color schemes are fun! It fits in cupholders! It holds ice all day! I can choose to forgo the straw completely if I so desire! I’m so excited.
