We're approaching the final hours of Amazon's annual event, and plenty of Prime Day deals are still available. Discerning Reddit shoppers on subreddits like r/prime_day and r/BuyItForLife have shared a plethora of takes on the event, with tips and tricks about how to get the best pricing on everything from tech products to home goods. But we at Business Insider Reviews know that Reddit doesn't have all the answers. Like Wikipedia, Reddit is great for sourcing general information, but sometimes, that information can be hit or miss.

Here at Business Insider Reviews, we have a team of professional reviewers who spend all year testing, comparing, and using these products in our everyday lives. For example, someone on Reddit might rave about a hugely popular product like the Dyson Airwrap. We've tested not only the Dyson Airwrap but also all of the best Dyson Airwrap dupes so we can give you the full picture of value.

But sometimes Kismet happens, and we and Reddit are super passionate about the same deals. Among the remaining deals that we're all stoked about is a 44% discount on Anker's 633 magnetic battery. We're also on the same page about the nearly $150 deal on the Vitamix 5200, the hero deal of threads like this one and this one. It's also our pick for the best blender after testing and consulting with nutritionists. 

Here are the best Amazon Prime Day deals on products that both we and Reddit recommend so you know you're only getting the best.
