Gear Patrol is covering Prime Day extensively, trawling the depths of the Amazon Prime Day landing page abyss for deals on products worth having. It is my solemn duty to rank the absolute best of the best from this effort. These are the 10 best Prime Day deals, ranked.

$100 $50

The best Prime Day buys — really just the best purchases, period — are those that you use every day. This is a wicked deal on a beard trimmer that’d usually be a hair more expensive than you’d like. Not today. 

$280 $129

A one-buy solution to a soulless, quiet living room. The bulk of the discount is applied at checkout. 

$573 $300

To the three people who read this article and are in the market for a 4K, 3840×2160 monitor, this is for you. 

40% off

Buy them for absurdly low prices and wear them everywhere, all the time, forever. 

$349 $245 

A $245 coffee maker is, without question, one of the best deals of Prime Day. The Moccamaster is a decades-old coffee maker that has been one of the best coffee makers you can buy for its entire life. Plus, it looks good on a kitchen counter. 

$1019 $430

Sifting through Walmart’s (and other retailers’) efforts to undermine Prime Day can yield gems. Forgetting Brad Pitt’s harsh rebuke of Schwinn, generally, in the Coen brothers film Burn After Reading, this Schwinn indoor bike, marked down nearly $600, is an absolute steal and a perfect buy in this very weird no-gym era. 

$799 $348

Buzzing around wherever it is you live has never been more… mildly entertaining. This renewed Bird scooter is likely not a dream come true to many, but it is a wicked deal. 

$550 $294

Score nearly half-off of Speedie replacement (or stand-in, depending on your ambition). 

$650 $280

Need a whole damn kitchen? Buy one. Ten pieces of cookware (they count lids) for almost 70 percent off. 

$119 $77

A wicked duffel-backpack hybrid from a reputable brand that’s marked down more than $40. It’s the kind of deal that no-shows on Prime Day, usually.
