Amazon Prime Day 2018: Best deals on Tuesday, including Amazon Fire, Bosch and Breville
Amazon's flash sales event Amazon Prime Day finishes tonight at midnight. Until then, there is an abundance of deals, from household goods and electrical to beauty, grooming, gardening gear, toys and furniture. The 36-hour sale kicked off yesterday at noon.
The first Prime Day took place on July 15 2015, the anniversary of the founding of the company by chief executive Jeff Bezos. In 2017 Amazon Prime Day was a huge success, with sales growing a massive 60 per cent on the previous year.
If you're not yet an Amazon Prime member, we suggest signing up to the 30-day free trial now in order to access the deals.
It's not only Amazon putting on deals today and tomorrow. The likes of eBay, Mobile Phones Direct, Debenhams, Argos and Currys PC World have all announced flash sales too.
Here are The Telegraph's recommended deals for 2018, including robotic lawnmowers, family camping tents and coffee machines, as well as Amazon Devices and entertainment.
