The best Ninja air fryer has £70 off in the Amazon Spring Sale right now. Household appliance reviewer Caroline Preece called the model a “powerhouse” due to its “impressive” cooking power. Its versatile cooking functions mean you can crisp, air fry, roast, reheat, dehydrate and bake your way to delicious meals. “Chicken emerged juicier, chips developed that perfect golden crunch, and vegetables caramelised beautifully, compared with some other models we tested,” noted the review.

Our best budget video doorbell has been slashed to half price in the Amazon Spring Sale. While this is Ring’s entry-level doorbell, it still comes with some solid features: it records in 1440p and has colour night vision. “It also has a lens wide enough to see visitors’ faces and parcels on the doorstep at the same time,” said our tester Alistair Charlton.

The brand-new Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is £170 in the Amazon Spring Sale. According to tech critic David Phelan, this model is an improvement on the previous iteration. “The faster processor, effective vapour cooling chamber, subtly improved cameras, and improved design all add up,” he said in his review. The photography and AI features also impressed him. “Samsung’s new flagship is the best phone it has made to date, and the best Android phone currently available,” he concluded.

The Dyson supersonic nural received high praise from senior shopping writer Daisy Lester, who called it “well worth the investment”. It took just ten minutes to dry her long hair, she said. “The results were impressive. My hair looked shinier and felt far softer than it does after using other hair dryers.”
The price of this gadget often creeps up to £399, so if you’ve had your eye on it for a while, now may be a good time to go for it. If you miss out on the Spring Sale deal, it’s also being sold for a similar price at AO and Very.

The Kindle paperwhite was rated both our best Kindle and the best ereader overall, so it’s fair to say our testers were impressed with this device. With “a faster operating system, smoother and more comfortable front-lighting, and waterproofing”, it’s no wonder tech writer Steve Hogarty called it “the best choice for most readers”. With £35 off on Amazon, you can’t go wrong.

The Amazon Fire 8 kids pro is our best kids tablet, and it’s now £90 off in the Amazon Spring Sale. Parenting writer, Ella Delancey Jones, gave the tablet to her preschooler straight out of the box and found it super easy to set up and manage. “Using the Amazon parent dashboard app on our phone, we could pause play remotely, approve or deny download requests and set daily screen limits,” she said. The battery life is excellent, and it comes with a year of Amazon Kids+, which unlocks thousands of hours of entertaining and educational content.

Digital notepads like Amazon’s Kindle scribe don’t come cheap, so if you’ve had your heart set on one, this is a good opportunity to save with a chunky £125 discount. This is essentially a large ereader that “doubles as a digital notepad, enabling you to annotate ebooks and documents, make handwritten notes, and even doodle in a dedicated sketchbook,” says tech writer Steve Hogarty.

Senior tech critic Alex Lee “shed a few tears” when Amazon’s Echo spot was discontinued in 2019, but now it’s back, “complete with better sound and no invasive camera”. For a home assistant that will “deliver weather reports, set timers, play music, podcasts and read the news”, the Echo spot delivers, says Alex. You can nab it for a £30 discount in Amazon’s Spring Sale.

It can be frustrating to spend hundreds on a quality fan, just for it to sit in the cupboard all winter. That’s what makes this Dyson model special. “Dyson hot+cold HP1 is not only a heater but also a fan and air purifier,” explains tester Rachael Penn in her best portable heaters round-up. It can be controlled using an app or remote control, which magnetically attaches to the fan so you won’t lose it. Plus, its bladeless design makes it a great option for those with pets or small children.

One of our best eye creams for 2026 is on offer in Amazon’s Spring Sale. The Inkey List’s caffeine eye cream is “fantastic” for the price, says beauty writer Rose Gallagher. “Though it works well to hydrate and smooth the appearance of the skin, it excels at reducing the appearance of puffiness,” she says. It also didn’t pill under Rose’s eye makeup, which is a major plus.

For those with less counter space available, check out Ninja’s double stack model, which made it into tester Katie Gregory’s good books for its space-saving design. “Inside, each basket also has a removable metal rack raised above the crisper plate – which effectively means there are four shelves to cook on, maximising the internal space,” she explains. The price of this appliance fluctuates often on Amazon, so don’t fret if you miss this deal, as there’s likely to be another deal soon.

You can save 44 per cent on this Urban Decay all nighter setting spray, which is one of deputy IndyBest editor Sabrina Sahota’s beauty staples. “When I went to check my make-up in the evening, it had held up exceptionally well. My foundation hadn’t gone patchy, and my kohl eyeliner hadn’t smudged,” she says. The 118ml bottle also lasts a long time – Sabrina only gets through two or three bottles a year despite being “quite liberal” with it.

When it comes to haircare, Olaplex makes some of the “best products on the market”, according to beauty expert Lucy Smith. Designed for fine hair, the bond maintenance shampoo and conditioner created a “noticeable difference” in the thickness of Lucy’s hair after “just one wash”. She said: “My hair felt bouncy from the roots, and the individual strands were left light and fluffy.” These cult favourites usually cost £30 each, so this Amazon Spring Sale deal is a no-brainer if you need to top up.

Electric toothbrush deals are not rare, but if you’re in the market for one right now, our favourite Oral-B toothbrush is on sale for less than half price. “What you get is the powerful oscillating brush head, the essential pressure sensor, one-button operating and the two-minute timer,” says tech writer Steve Hogarty. Out of the entire Oral-B range, this toothbrush is the best value, according to Steve. “There isn’t a dentist in the world who could tell the difference between the iO2’s results and those of an Oral-B brush costing ten times as much,” he says.

If you’re looking for a new hand blender, look no further than this Ninja appliance, which has £35 off at Amazon. It comes with five speed settings designed to help you chop, mix, knead, blend and more. But what makes Ninja’s appliance stand out is the smart torque motor wand attachment, says Sarah Finley in her best hand blenders round-up. “A clever addition designed for thicker mixes such as cake batter and creams, it effortlessly whisked up pancake batter in less than a minute,” she says.

The Ninja crispi has become a cult classic in the world of air fryers, with our senior tech critic Alex Lee declaring it “so much better than a regular air fryer” when he tried it out. Its glass design allows you to watch your food as it cooks, and its performance didn’t disappoint, either. “I got golden and crispy chips without needing to shake them constantly, while a seasoned chicken breast dish came out tender and juicy,” says Alex. This is a fairly modest discount, but for the brand’s “best value” air fryer, we think it’s a solid deal.

How to find the best deals in the Amazon Spring Sale 2026
The key to finding a bargain at Amazon is to know the difference between a pre-sale price and a recommended retail price (RRP). Amazon uses both, but neither of them tell the whole story.
In short, a pre-sale price tells you how much an item has cost in the past (though it might not say when it was sold at this price). An RRP is what the manufacturer suggests the item is sold for but, importantly, the product may have never actually been sold at this price.
To work out whether a deal is really as good as it seems, you’ll want to work out how much the item usually costs at Amazon, and whether the product is cheaper at other retailers.
Try pasting the Amazon link for the relevant sale item into the price-tracking website Camelcamelcamel. You’ll be shown a graph charting how the item’s price has changed since Amazon started selling it, so you can check whether the reduction is as significant as you first thought.
You can find out whether Amazon’s offering the lowest price available by shopping around or by typing the product’s name into the website PriceRunner to compare prices across different retailers.
