If you are just here for the info, you can see some of 2020’s bestsellers below. Amazon was quick to report its top-selling items from the 2020 event, and that its members saved over $1.4 billion dollars. Wow. It also noted that it marked the two biggest days ever for third-party sellers overall, nearly all of whom are small and medium-sized businesses. Overall, Amazon was primed to generate almost $10 billion dollars in sales, according to Business Insider.
Unsurprisingly, the Echo Dot 3 was the most popular item purchased on Prime Day around the world. Amazon’s smart home assistant was at one of its lowest prices yet at $18.99/ £18.99, most likely to make way for the next-gen, Echo Dot 4. Electronics like Fire TVs, Bose QuietComfort 35 (Series II) Wireless Headphones, and Fitbit Versa 2 Smartwatch were also called out as strong performers.
Some other popular items included cordless vacuum cleaners, candles, coffee machines, hair straighteners, and – a bit of a curveball – big tubs of chocolates. Browse these bestsellers as some are still on offer, then read on to see everything we know so far about Amazon Prime Day 2021.

When is Amazon Prime Day 2021?
The event usually takes place in summer so we are expecting Amazon Prime Day 2021 will fall in the middle of July, as it did in 2019, and the years before. In 2020, it was postponed due to Covid-19 and fears that they would not be able to fulfill the vast number of orders with strict social distancing measures in place. Amazon Prime Day 2020 therefore took place on the 13th and 14th of October.
What is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day is Amazon’s largest sale event of the year. This sale sees Amazon slash the price of hundreds of buys on site for just a few hours only. Much like Black Friday, Amazon Prime Day used to be just 24 hours long to offer Amazon customers huge discounts on anything and everything they need; however, much to our pleasure, both events have been extended, and in 2020, Amazon Prime Day ran for over 48 hours.
Amazon use it as a chance to offer amazing deals on their Echo devices and smart home tech, but in 2020 we saw it being used more and more as a platform for small businesses on Amazon and for people buying things like alcohol, cleaning essentials and – much to our pleasure – homewares.
