How did we choose these Prime Day deals?

Brands that don’t have a good reputation or ones that inflate prices to create artificial sales won’t make our list. Using established price comparison tools and trackers, we try to find deals that are at least 20% off. In many cases, our recommendations come from products that we’ve actually tested.
