Read on for our editor's personal picks from this year's sale, and catch the remaining sales in our main Prime Day deals hub . Amazon Prime Day deals our experts bought themselves I'm moving from a huge home in Kansas to a tiny apartment in New York City. I took one look at the minuscule kitchen in our new place and knew our massive double-wide Ninja air fryer was not going to be moving with us.

I used Prime Day as an opportunity to downsize to a smaller model that was recommended by our air fryer expert. It's the petite version of the top overall pick in our best air fryer guide, and also earns a spot in our best small air fryer guide. The Prime Day sale brings it down to $60 , the lowest price we've ever seen on this model.
