There are an overwhelming number of Prime Day deals to sort through, which is why we spend so much time highlighting products we’ve already tested and can stand behind. But our recommendations are only one way to identify a worthwhile deal: another is seeing which products fellow Verge readers actually buy.
Below, we’ve rounded up the deals that have resonated most with readers who spend as much time thinking about tech as we do. It’s a great way to see what people actually think is a great deal — and what products everyone has been waiting for a price drop on.
Some of the favorites are exactly what you’d expect, like AirPods and Kindles. Others, like Birdbuddy’s camera-equipped smart bird feeder, were a more surprising. If you’re looking for some shopping inspiration, or are simply curious what your fellow readers have been adding to their carts, here are the products that have proven most popular so far during Prime Day.
Hoto 3.6V Electric Screwdriver Kit Pro
Hoto’s rechargeable screwdriver is ideal for small repairs. It offers three torque modes, a rotational speed of up to 220RPM, and a helpful circular LED to illuminate dark spaces. The durable case also holds all 25 steel bits and an extension bar for getting into hard-to-reach places.

It also supports GPS location tracking, as well as the ability to send messages and place calls to a limited number of contacts. However, keep in mind that a Fitbit Ace Pass subscription ($9.99 per month / $119.99 per year) is required for location tracking, messaging, and access to the Fitbit Arcade.
