The best Amazon deals to snag this weekend before summer ends: Save on Apple, Dyson and more
We don’t typically hear this mid-August stretch described as a holiday weekend, but maybe it should be since Aug. 18 marks the anniversary of the 19th Amendment’s ratification, which (finally!) gave women the right to vote back in 1920. In any case, these Amazon weekend deals have got us celebrating. Who wouldn’t want to pull the lever for a coveted Cuisinart 6-quart air fryer at just $120, or more than 50% off a pair of Levi’s skinny jeans? And hey, this No. 1 bestselling cardigan, just $22, is great for a chilly August evening and a stroll to your polling place in November. All that, plus deals on housewares, tech and self-care galore during Amazon’s weekend sale.

This No. 1 bestselling, solar-fueled charging bank packs 42,000mAh of power into its (admittedly) bulky frame, and even includes a flashlight that can run continuously for up to 100 hours. Plan on going camping this year? You’d be wise to pack this juuust in case.
FYI, the original list price looks to be exaggerated, as the highest we’ve seen this gizmo priced at is around $60. That said, you’re still saving at least 50%!

This nifty gizmo features layers of hot plates stacked on top of each other — essentially mini pans designed to perfectly cook each individual component. First, add ingredients to each pan — the bottom one is for the bread and sausage, bacon, ham or cheese. There’s a plate just for the egg, and then up top, you pop in another layer of bread. Then, close the device and let it toast.
This is the lowest we’ve seen it on sale for all year, just sayin’!
These popular fabric-softening balls can be reused for over a thousand laundry loads.

What’s more, they’ll save you tons of money on not-so-eco-friendly dryer sheets. Consider them our favorite laundry hack.
This brilliant sand-proof towel is also water-resistant. (It’s made of 210T polyester, which repels water better than an umbrella!)
Plus, with the discount and on-page coupon, Prime members can grab this towel for as low as $15 — that’s a great deal, considering it’s a lot more affordable than most beach chairs, and we’re in prime beach season.

This is on par with the lowest price on record for the 9th Generation iPad — plus, the 32% discount makes the deal all the sweeter.

We don’t “wing” it here at Yahoo Life: We put 15 models to the test and awarded this one “Best Air Fryer Overall.” According to Yahoo Life writer Kristin Granero, who conducted the tests, this one “boasts substantial cooking room, minimal required maintenance and an easy-to-master learning curve, all while looking non-clunky.” Its LED display has five cooking functions to choose from — air fry, roast, bake, broil and warm — as well as five preset options for popular foods like fries, wings, frozen snacks and vegetables. Other cool components include its interior light and see-through doors, which allow you to keep an eye on your food while it cooks, as well as a “toss reminder” that’ll alert you when it’s time to flip your food in the basket. This is close to as low as we’ve ever seen it marked down to.
