Got the post-holiday blues? A little retail therapy might help. Amazon‘s daily deals page is a discount shopping haven as long as you know how to navigate it. Hint: not every “deal” is actually a deal. We’ve sorted out some of the noise and selected a few standout deals from top brands that we think are worth grabbing on Jan. 9, including Apple and Bose.
Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day. Nothing sparking your interest? Check out picks from Jan. 7 and Jan. 8. Many of those deals are still live, including a huge 40% discount on the very good Samsung Galaxy Buds FE and a $69 Apple Pencil.
Our top pick: Apple M3 MacBook Air, 13-inch
Opens in a new window
The M3 MacBook Air packs a huge punch and the base model is back down to just $899 at Amazon as of Jan. 9. That’s 18% or $200 off its usual cost. Mashable Tech Editor Kim Gedeon was highly impressed with its performance, specifically its zippy M3 chip, satisfying keyboard, vivid webcam, and dual-display support when you close its lid. Aesthetically, it’s nearly identical to its predecessor, but internally it shines as our top MacBook pick for most people. It’s also only $100 more than the M2 model and you’ll get 15% more power, making it a no-brainer.

Instant Vortex air fryer
Opens in a new window
Need to replace your gunked up air fryer? The Instant Vortex has thousands of five-star reviews at Amazon and is on sale for only $79.99 (reg. $119.99). That’s 33% in savings. The six-quart basket is ideal for four to six servings and the basket and tray are both dishwasher safe to easy clean up. Its four-in-one design lets you air fry, roast, broil, and reheat with the touch of a button, plus you can save your customizable presets to make whipping up your favorite snacks and meals a breeze every time. And did we mention is won’t take up a ton of real estate on your countertop?
Bose SoundLink Flex
Opens in a new window
Small and mighty, the go-anywhere SoundLink Flex got an upgrade this past fall to enhance its already great features. It still boasts the same rugged texture, waterproof and UV light resistant build, impressively long 12-hour battery life, and bold sound. The latest generation also streamlined the controls and offers customizable EQ in the Bose app, unlocking a better listening experience. It’s usually $149, but you can snag it on sale at Amazon for just $111.71 in the Blue Dusk shade. That’s 25% in savings and just a dollar away from its best price to date. If you prefer another color, you’ll still get a deal, it’ll just cost you a few bucks more.
Sunny Health & Fitness Premium Foldable Treadmill
Opens in a new window
A treadmill is a great way to incorporate more movement in your daily life without having to worry about weather, but not everyone can afford the astronomical Peloton Tread. Instead, check out this foldable option from Sunny Health & Fitness, which is on sale for just $579.99 instead of $799.99. That’s a savings of 28%. It includes 15 auto incline levels that simulate various terrains, 24 preset workout programs, quick speed and incline buttons for seamless adjustments, and three user modes to share with multiple family members. The free SunnyFit app also unlocks access to over 1,000 trainer-led videos, over 10,000 virtual tours, and more. It comes pre-assembled and sets up in seconds without tools, although you may have to wait a little longer for delivery due to its size and weight.
