There are also thousands of substantial discounts on men's shoes from Asics , Columbia , Cole Haan , and many other top-selling brands. After carefully considering the Prime Day deals in front of us just ahead of the sale, MJ found eight in particular that are absolutely worth shopping for right now.

Weber Spirit II E-210 2-Burner Propane Grill, $399 (was $551) on Amazon

Grills figure to be a huge seller during Prime Day 2024, but it's shocking to see a top seller from a brand like Weber already on sale before the madness commences. This two-burner gas grill is a top 10 bestselling model on Amazon and features porcelain-enameled cast iron grates, a built-in thermometer, and folding side tables. It's the best compact gas grill you'll find during the sale and one that could be at risk of selling out. The three-burner model is also on sale, but the best value right now is in the former.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "Compact yet powerful…The product has performed like a champ, heats up quickly, hits a high temp, and holds it. Solid construction all around."

DeWalt 20V Max 5Ah Lithium Ion Battery 2-Pack, $129 (was $259) on Amazon

Spare batteries from Milwaukee and Ryobi are already on sale less than a week before Prime Day, but it's DeWalt that's offering the biggest savings. This two-pack of 5Ah batteries for the brand's 20V power tools is already half off and loaded with enough power to tackle an entire day of home renovations.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "Best battery out there…For the money, you can't go wrong. I use them daily and they have not let me down. The power level button is a lifesaver for knowing how much charge you have when packing for a day's worth of work."

Northyard UPF 50+ Sun Hoodie in Light Gray, $17 (was $24) on Amazon

Whether you're fishing, hiking, or landscaping this summer, a proper sun hoodie is a fantastic means of protection from harsh UV rays, and right now, you can pick one up for less than $20 bucks on Amazon from Northyard. This style has a cross-neck design for extra coverage, a full hood that can go over the brim of a baseball cap, and thumb holes that help keep your hands covered as well.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "This product is fabulous. Light, comfortable, and stretchy enough to function. I have been playing golf in it and it is perfect. Washes nicely. Fits great!"

Bluetti AC180 1800W Portable Power Station, $549 (was $999) on Amazon

While many brands are holding out until Prime Day kicks off on July 16, Bluetti is already setting deals live on models like the AC180. This powerful portable power station is the ideal pick for everything from a week of camping to running CPAP machines , and even for having on hand during summer outages. If you really want to stay off-grid, it's also currently on sale in a bundle with a 200W solar panel .

What Shoppers Are Saying: "The Bluetti AC180 strikes the perfect balance of features and form factor for all of my use cases. It's much more portable than the AC200 (lighter and more compact) but still has impressive power."

Asics Gel-Kayano 30 in Black/Sheet Rock, From $100 (was $160) on Amazon

Those looking to pick up new running shoes during the Prime Day sale must consider Asics' Gel-Kayano 30. Now that Asics has released the 31st iteration, its predecessor has sunk in price to just $100—a steal for a durable, well-cushioned, and uber-supportive running shoe. We're anticipating sizes to sell very quickly during the sale, so grab your size while it's still available at the sale price.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "I've been running in Gel Kayanos for more than 10 years and this model is, by far, the most comfortable on impact. The way these handle impact and provide stability is unlike any previous generation."

Apple AirTag 4-Pack, $75 (was $99) on Amazon

Many Apple deals are already live ahead of Prime Day, including AirPods Pro , several iPads , and even Apple Watches . But Apple's AirTags are one of the best deals of all, and right now, you can score a four-pack for just $75—the lowest price we've ever seen. They're ideal for stashing in handbags and even inside wallets , and they also make great gifts.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "The Apple AirTag is a fantastic investment for anyone prone to misplacing items or wanting to keep an eye on their furry friends. It offers unmatched convenience and peace of mind, making it well worth the price."

Midea 8,500 BTU Portable Air Conditioner, $222 (was $280) on Amazon

If you're one of the many Americans sweltering in the summer sun right now, a portable air conditioner should be your first pick during Prime Day.
