East Oak Fire Pit
Sale price: $139.59 | Original price: $269.99 | Savings: 48%
Looking to add a smokeless fire pit to your backyard setup? Check out the East Oak Fire Pit, which is made of high-quality stainless steel, yet portable enough to move easily. One of our editors, Mary Henn, tested this fire pit and was impressed with the high heat output, ashtray and built-in stand. And better yet? This pricey fire pit is on sale for Prime Day, with deals depending on color and size, so strike while the iron (er, fire pit) is hot.
“I was especially impressed by the sleek look and easy-to-clean design of this fire pit,” Henn explains. “You don’t have to dump or displace the fire pit to empty the ashtray. Simply stick the long fire poker down into the pit and hook the top of the ashtray to lift it out of the fire pit. Then walk the lightweight ashtray wherever you need to dump and clean it.”
Bissell CrossWave Wet-Dry Vacuum
Sale price: $142.49 | Original price: $229.99 | Savings: 38%
With three dogs in the house, I find myself constantly cleaning up fur balls, toy fluff and dirt from muddy paws. Luckily, the Bissell CrossWave can handle it all. This multi-surface cleaner can go from hardwood to tile in a flash (and does a great job picking up whatever liquid or non-liquid mess you throw at it). Instead of shelling out the full $230 to get your floors shiny, you can save 38% if you purchase this versatile cleaning tool during Prime Day.
“The Bissell CrossWave is a miracle when it comes to cleaning up messes,” Family Handyman tester Allison Robicelli explains. “Though it’s not the cheapest wet/dry cleaner on the market, its high horsepower, strong suction and stain-destroying abilities make it well worth the price.”

Sale price: $332.49 | Original price: $499.99 | Savings: 34%
Tired of looking at your grubby sidewalk or dirt-stained siding? Check out the user-friendly Greenworks 3000 PSI pressure washer, which will be 34% off for Amazon Prime Day (originally $500). We like the brushless motor, handy transport wheels and five included tips for precise cleaning.
“I used the Greenworks on some oil stains on my patio and loved how easy it was to set up and get running,” Family Handyman tester Pamela Bondurant explains. “Though it’s a big machine, the engine was quiet. The turbo nozzle lifted the oil stain with ease.”

Anker’s Solix F3800 Portable Power Station
Sale price: $2,599 | Original price: $3,999 | Savings: 35%
Power stations are not cheap, and the Anker Solix F3800 is no exception. This powerful piece of equipment retails for almost $4,000. Luckily, during Prime, you can score it for 35% off (which is over $1,000 off). We love that this power station provides enough power for up to two full weeks (with additional battery packs), connects to Bluetooth/Wi-Fi for easy control and has a five-year warranty.
“The Anker Solix F3800 portable power station with 240V capabilities is a cutting-edge, pro-level, versatile piece of equipment,” Family Handyman tester Karuna Ebel explains. “It can power anything you need during a home electrical outage while remaining nimble enough to carry to remote sites to run tools, portable refrigerators, RVs and even give a boost to EVs. It’s durable, reliable, aesthetically charming and intuitive to use.”

Sale price: $137.50 | Original price: $199.99 | Savings: 31%
Looking into adding a smart lock to your home? Check out the August Home Smart Lock + Connect, which is a whopping 31% off for Amazon Prime Day. We like that this lock doesn’t require any rekeying; simply attach it to your existing deadbolt.
“It offers all the features you want in an Airbnb smart lock, including remote access, the ability to assign multiple codes for guests and service personnel and seamless integration with Airbnb, Alexa, Apple Home Kit, Samsung SmartThings and Google Assistant,” Family Handyman tester Dylan Fischer explains. “This attractive smart lock is also easy to install.”

“The Wybot C1 Robotic Pool Cleaner is an essential piece of pool equipment,” Family Handyman tester Allison Bean explains. “After using it for a few weeks, I can’t imagine cleaning the pool any other way. It cleans the floor, walls and waterline effectively, and is so quiet and unobtrusive that we’ll have it working while we’re swimming in the pool.”
