Best deals on day 2 of Amazon Prime Day
- Day 2 of Amazon Prime Day includes sales on video subscription services such as Starz and Showtime.
- Amazon's own devices continue to be among the best values on the site, the editors at CNET report.
- Popular products like the Roku and the Instant Pot are also on sale today.
Amazon Prime Day is offering sales on more than 1 million products, an overwhelming proposition for most consumers. But there are products that stand out because of their popularity as well as the size of the discount offered by Amazon.
There is a major caveat, however: Some deals may sell out, which means the sale price listed in this story may not be available later in the day. The Prime Day sale will end at 3 a.m. E.T. tonight.
Note that CNET may get a share of revenue from the sale of the products and services featured in its reviews. Also, CNET and Showtime are owned by CBS, the parent company of CBS MoneyWatch. With that in mind, read on.
Amazon's own devices
Among the best deals on Tuesday continue to be Amazon's own devices, according to CBS partner site CNET. Here are its picks:
