Prime Day is huge. Here’s what Rich on Tech readers are buying.
These are the products getting the most clicks, purchases and attention this month.
Prime Day is no longer just an Amazon sale. It has become one of the biggest online shopping events of the year.
Adobe says U.S. shoppers spent $8.3 billion online on the first day alone, making it the biggest e-commerce day of the year so far. Electronics were up 105% compared to an average day in June, appliances were up 95%, and even everyday essentials like personal care and household goods saw big jumps.
The takeaway: people are shopping. A lot.
So I took a look at the products Rich on Tech readers and listeners have been most interested in this month. These are the items getting the most clicks, purchases, and attention during Prime Day, which runs through Friday, June 26, 2026.
Before we dive in, my usual reminder: don’t buy something just because it’s on sale. Buy it because you already wanted it, the price is good and it solves a real problem. And always check the price history.

Here are the top 25.
1. Anker MagGo Power Bank for Apple Watch, $50 (list $90)
Travel must-have. It charges your Apple Watch on the go and doubles as a bedside nightstand charger with support for Nightstand Mode. The built-in USB-C cable can also charge your phone and other gadgets, which means one less cable to pack.
2. Ring Wired Doorbell Pro, $180 (list $250)
A more advanced option if you already have doorbell wiring. You get higher-end features like enhanced video quality and better zoom capabilities.
3. Ring Battery Doorbell Plus, $100 (list $180)
Keep an eye on your front door without wiring. The latest version offers sharp video, better views of visitors and package detection.
4. Eero 6+ mesh Wi-Fi system, $195 (list $300)
If you want a better internet signal in every corner of your home, consider a mesh network. Eero is my favorite. Go with Eero 6 if your internet speed is under 1 gig.
5. Trtl travel pillow, $40 (list $60)
My favorite travel pillow, hands down. Helps me sleep like a baby, even in the worst airplane seat.
6. Echo Show 11, $150 (list $219)
This 11-inch smart display makes a great centerpiece for your smart home, with a big touchscreen for controlling devices, checking cameras, recipes, calendars and more.
7. Aura Carver digital photo frame, $143 (list $179)
Hands down one of the best things you can buy on Prime Day. Wirelessly send your favorite photos straight from your phone and even share pictures to friends’ and family members’ frames. It’s a perfect gift and a total crowd-pleaser. Plus, you can now sync a Google Photos album automatically.
8. Anker Nano Portable Charger, $42 (list $60)
A must-have for your bag. Charge up your phone and other gadgets on the go with a built-in retractable cable and extra USB ports.
9. SanDisk 256GB phone drive, $90
Running out of storage? This drive plugs directly into USB-C iPhones, iPads and Macs, making it easy to offload photos and videos, back up memories and free up space.
10. WHOOSH! Screen Shine Duo, $17 (list $20)
My favorite cleaning spray for gadgets. It keeps screens shiny and helps repel fingerprints. Rumor has it Apple Stores have used this stuff for years.
11. Refurbished Apple iPad, $129
Just need a simple tablet for streaming, web browsing and reading? This refurbished iPad is showing its age, but around this price it’s tough to beat. The iPad is still the best tablet for most people, and this is one of the cheapest ways to get one.
12. Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3X, $545
A great laptop for basic needs with plenty of memory and storage, plus a Snapdragon processor for lightweight performance and long battery life.
13. Kindle Paperwhite, $124 (list $160)
If it’s time for a new Kindle, this remains the gold standard for e-readers. It’s waterproof, the battery lasts for weeks and the screen looks like paper.
14. Travelpro Platinum Elite carry-on, $390
A premium carry-on suitcase from a brand frequent travelers love. This one has spinner wheels, an expandable design and a built-in USB port.
15. AirPods Pro 3, $179 (list $249)
My favorite all-around noise-cancelling earbuds for iPhone users. They’re excellent for travel, calls, workouts and everyday listening.
16. Kodak Slide N Scan, $160 (list $190)
Turn old film strips and slides digital in seconds.
17. USB-C cable 3-pack, $8
An essential travel accessory. You never know what kind of USB port you’ll encounter in a hotel room, airport, rental car or airplane seat.
18. Echo Spot, $45 (list $80)
Great for a desk or nightstand with a bright little display that shows the time, weather and more at a glance.
19. AUVON rechargeable motion-sensor night lights, $18
A travel must-have. Hotel rooms are notoriously dark at night, and these small rechargeable motion-sensing lights automatically illuminate your path. I keep one in my dopp kit.
20. Kiehl’s Ultimate Brushless Shave Cream, $25 (list $35)
THE BEST shaving cream. It’s so good it makes even an old razor glide like new.
21. Echo Dot Max, $65 (list $100)
I have these speakers in my living room. You can pair two for better stereo sound, or use them with compatible Fire TV devices for a home theater setup.
22. CordBrick cord holders 2 pack, $17 (list $30)
One of my favorite desk accessories. It’s a weighted, rubbery cord organizer that keeps cables from sliding behind your desk when they’re unplugged. One of those small things that makes daily life easier.
23. Magnetic phone ring, $16 (list $20)
This magnetic accessory is perfect for propping up your smartphone on a plane to watch videos hands-free. I never travel without one.
24. Superdanny surge protector, $20
The ultimate way to plug in as many gadgets as possible. It has 22 outlets, USB-C, USB-A and surge protection.
25. La Roche-Posay Double Repair Matte Moisturizer, $25
My favorite everyday moisturizer when I don’t need SPF. Lightweight and doesn’t leave my face shiny.
A few trends stand out.
Portable chargers dominate the list, which makes sense with summer travel in full swing. Smart home gear is also popular, especially Ring, Eero and Echo devices. And despite all the flashy gadgets, practical products like screen cleaner, charging cables, cord holders and storage drives continue to be reader favorites.
One more interesting trend: Adobe says AI shopping traffic is up a lot this year. Shoppers coming from AI tools are also converting better than regular traffic, which suggests people are using AI to compare prices, research products and find deals faster.
Happy shopping,
Rich
