Amazon Prime Day home and kitchen deals 2022: Best offers on Shark, Tower and more
Believe it or not, Amazon Prime Day is almost upon us again. The date for the 48-hour shopping bonanza has been confirmed for 12 and 13 July and we’re now officially just days away. In the meantime, the retailer dropped a whole host of early offers on 21 June, so there’s plenty of deal-hunting to get on with before the big day.
Since starting out in 2015 as a celebration of Amazon’s 20th anniversary, the now annual event has since become one of the biggest flash sales of the year.
The 48-hour bonanza sees prices slashed across tech, gaming, clothing, beauty, alcohol, fitness, TVs and plenty more. It’s also your chance to save on homeware and kitchen appliances – from air fryers and mattresses, to cordless vacuums and coffee machines.
Home to brands including Shark, Simba, Ninja, Tower, Eufy, Swan and Nespresso, Prime Day is one of the best times in the year to stock up on pricey items. And we’ve already had a sneak preview of some of the upcoming savings, including up to 30 per cent off on large appliances from brands such as Bosch, Candy, and Samsung, as well as on small kitchen appliances from Panasonic and Toshiba.
With last year’s event being Amazon’s biggest yet, the stakes are even higher for 2022. As such, we’re here to help you prepare your shopping lists and answer all of your burning questions ahead of the sale, from the early deals you can shop now to whether you need a Prime membership.

When is Amazon Prime Day 2022?
Amazon has confirmed that this year’s Prime Day sale will take place on 12 and 13 July. But, early deals dropped from 21 June onwards, which is the earliest that discounts have ever dropped for the event. In previous years, the early bird offers usually began around 10 days prior to the main event.
More recently, rumours have even been circulating of a second Amazon Prime Day. The event could take place in October, according to leaked memos reported by Business Insider, and while talk of Prime Day No.2 has flown around before, it has never actually taken shape – this year, though, it’s all still to play for.
Discounts on Amazon’s own devices started on 8 July, meaning you can already bag great savings on select devices, including 42 per cent off the Echo dot 4th gen (Was £49.99, now £29, Amazon.co.uk), 40 per cent off the Echo show 5 2nd gen (Was £74.99, now £44.99, Amazon.co.uk), 71 per cent off Ring home security (Was £124.98, now £35.99, Amazon.co.uk) and much more.
The best early Prime Day deals 2022
Shark corded stick vacuum cleaner [HZ500UK] anti hair wrap, purple: Was £249.99, now £178, Amazon.co.uk
There’s no better time than Prime Day to invest in a vacuum cleaner and this corded offering from Shark is one of Amazon’s top deals. At a healthy 29 per cent off, it features anti hair wrap technology which removes hair from the brush roll as you clean. LED lights work to highlight any hidden dust and dirt, and the flexible head makes hard to reach spots easy to get to. Because it’s corded, there’s no chance of being left in the lurch and losing charge halfway through vacuuming - plus the top detaches to become a handheld vacuum. Although we haven’t tested this vacuum specifically, a similar Shark model landed the top spot in our review of the best corded vacuum cleaners, where our tester said they were “bowled over by the suction” of the upright vacuum and that it was an “ingenious two-in-one machine”.
Ninja BN495UK Auto-IQ stand food blender: Was £99.99, now £66, Amazon.co.uk
Named best overall in our food blender round-up, this Ninja blender is now an impressive 34 per cent off on Amazon. “This is a brilliant blender which won’t just churn out your favourite smoothies, but a wide range of other drinks, too (we were particularly impressed with its ability to produce delicious milkshakes),” raved our tester. They also added that “the powerful 1,000W motor and precision-engineered blades result in some seriously quick blending, and made light work of items such as nuts and grains.”
De’Longhi ECAM 350.15.B fully automatic coffee machine: Was £499.99, now £369, Amazon.co.uk
Two De’Longhi coffee machines featured in our best bean-to-cup coffee machine round-up, so although we haven’t yet tried this model, we can attest to the brand being pretty great. And with a discount of 26 per cent, this one is even more tempting. Claiming to make all coffee shop favourites – and two cups in a single brew – as well as frothing milk for flat whites and cappuccinos, it seems hard to fault at first sight. So, if you’re a coffee connoisseur, it may be well worth giving this machine a go.
Neato robotics D8 robot vaccum: Was £375.47, now £279, Amazon.co.uk
A newer model of this robot vacuum, the Neato D10, featured in our best robot vacuum round-up. While it might be a little older, this one has the same D-shaped design which is one of this vacuum’s biggest advantages as it can get to hard-to-reach corners any round model would struggle with. It has up to 100 minutes of run time and with 26 per cent off right now bringing it down to £279, it’s a lot more budget-friendly than its sub-£500 brother.
Lavazza a modo mio jolie espresso coffee machine, black: Was £95, now £49, Amazon.co.uk
Now reduced by almost 50 per cent, sip barista style espresso without the morning coffee run with this Lavazza coffee machine. Boasting a removable tank and six litre capacity, the machine also holds four to five capsules. We haven’t tested this exact model, but when taking a similar model, the a modo mio deséa for a spin, our tester was impressed and found that it served up the best coffee they’d ever tasted.
Shark cordless stick vacuum cleaner IZ201UKT: Was £349.99, now £229, Amazon.co.uk
You’re going to want to Hoover up this early Prime Day deal, offering a massive 35 per cent saving. Queen of clean, Mrs Hinch, loves Shark, and so do we. This cleaning tool was featured in our review of the best cordless vacuum cleaners, and it seriously impressed our tester. It features a flexible wand that bends to make like work of cleaning under sofas and coffee tables, while the LED headlight works to “illuminate hidden dust in every corner”, noted our writer. They “found the vacuum effortlessly sucked up everything in sight, making this one of the best” that they tested.
Kenwood abbey lux water kettle: Was £39.99, now £27.99, Amazon.co.uk
When it comes to kettles, Kenwood is a firm favourite at IndyBest – with one of its models crowned “best for speedy boiling” in our best kettle round-up, it’s safe to say you’re in safe hands here. It will hold 1.7L of water and features a 390 degree swivel, water window and sleek black and gold design, while the removable filter is anti-scale which should ensure purer water for your morning brew.
Bosch 70-pieces X-line titanium drill and screwdriver bit set: Was £31.55, now £16.79, Amazon.co.uk
This 70-piece Bosch titanium and aluminium drill is the perfect tool for DIY around the house and garden. It has an X line drill head which works on both wood and metal alike, and comes with 24 screwdriver attachments and 25 drill attachements so you have a whole host of options. It currently has 47 per cent off and although we haven’t tried this particular model, we did feature the brand in our review of the best cordless drills, so it’s one we trust.
Amazon basics stand mixer: Was £71.74, now £57.49, Amazon.co.uk
Looking for a new stand mixer that won’t break the bank? You may want to take a look at this Amazon own-brand buy. As it says in the title, it’s basic – so don’t expect all the bells and whistles from some of the other models included in our best stand-mixer round-up – but for a simple, easy-to-use model, it looks good to us.
With an 800W motor and seven speed control settings, it’s sure to have you whipping up everything from meringues to cupcakes with ease, and the 4.5l capacity means there will be enough for the whole family. A dough hook, beater and whisk are also included.
Panda kids memory foam bamboo pillow: Was £31.95, now £24.95, Amazon.co.uk
We popped the adult-sized version of Panda’s memory foam pillow in our round-up of the best pillows so it’s safe to say we were fans. Crowned “best for side sleepers”, our tester said: “The foam that Panda uses for this ultra-supportive pillow is really firm – not uncomfortably so, it has plenty of squish – making it perfect for side and front sleepers, and its thick bamboo case is soft, cooling, and hypoallergenic.”
Now with 22 per cent off, the version for toddlers is also dust mite free and boasts an antibacterial bamboo cover that should be a doddle to take off and pop in the wash.
Flymo easistore 340R electric rotary lawn mower: Was £134.99, now £97.56, Amazon.co.uk
Perfectly timed for summer, this Flymo mower is reduced by 28 per cent right now. With its powerful 1400W motor, you’ll be able to tackle your lawn with ease while the 34cm cutting width and 20-60cm cutting height ensure a neat and tidy finish. Other handy touches include a 35l grass box, a 10m cable for more freedom, and flexible dual-level handles.
A similar Flymo model with the same rear roller earned a spot in our round-up of the best lawn mowers; our tester praised the roller for “laying a discernible stripe on our lawn, while the compact design allowed us to cut close to hard borders and also made the mower very easy to move around while cutting.”
Bosch athlet serie 8 BCH87POWGB propower 36V cordless vacuum cleaner: Was £349.99, now £249.99, Amazon.co.uk
With a saving of £100, this Bosch cordless vacuum is another great household saving. Suitable for all floor types and with an 80-minute running time, it seems like it will get your home spick and span in no time. And it looks rather sleek too.
Shark air purifier 4 HE400UK: Was £279.99, now £179, Amazon.co.uk
With summer well and truly here – despite the weather often telling us otherwise – an air purifier can be a great bit of kit to reduce sweaty smells, pollen, shedding pet fur and pollution. This Shark option was named best for the kitchen in our air purifier round-up and now with 36 per cent off it really is quite the steal.
Our tester shared multiple reasons as to why they loved it so much, including the fact that “it removes allergens, mould and bacteria, cleaning the air and circulating it through the room following multi-stage filtration”.
Moolan steam mop: Was £149.99, now £119.99, Amazon.co.uk
While we haven’t tested the brand, this steam mop has a five-star rating on Amazon, which really speaks volumes and is currently 20 per cent off. Doing away with harsh chemicals, the gadget should blast through dirt, grease and general muck with hot steam alone.
It’s not just for floors either, coming as it does with an array of accessories for soft furnishings, clothes, windows, toilets and more. The actual mop is double sided, making it more absorbent and long-lasting, too. Go full steam ahead and snap this one up while it’s on sale.
Morphy Richards mixstar compact stand mixer: Was £189.99, now £129, Amazon.co.uk
Named best for alternative design in our stand mixer round-up, this Morphy Richards model is now an impressive 32 per cent off. Our tester was very honest in their review, sharing, “we’ll be upfront: when we first saw this stand mixer next to the lineup of cool retro-styled models, we weren’t sure if we liked it. But as we used it, it grew on us very, very quickly”. The weight and easy to store design both topped the list of why they loved it, as did the price point – and now that it’s even cheaper, surely it’s a no brainer.
Bissell spotclean: Was £149.99, now £123, Amazon.co.uk
Are you searching for a new carpet cleaner? You are in luck because Amazon has just reduced the price of this nifty machine. Thanks to its compact design, it’s likely to be easy to manoeuvre around your home, making light work of your cleaning chores. The slightly new model – the Bissell spotclean pro (was £169.99, now £139, Amazon.co.uk) – featured in our review of the best carpet cleaners, with our writer noting that it was “by far the best machine we tested for using on carpeted stairs”. So you can trust the brand’s credentials.

We included a larger Tower model in our best air fryers guide, which our reviewer described as being a “doddle to cook meat, veg and fish” in, and “perfect for rustling up a midweek roast.”
Shark bagless cylinder vacuum cleaner CV100UKT: Was £249.99, now £99, Amazon.co.uk

Coming complete with a 5-year guarantee, the vacuum cleaner is designed to handle pet hair and move between carpet and hard floor modes.

There was also huge discounts across big-ticket brands including Ninja, Bosch, Morphy Richards, Ring, Karcher and Eufy.
