This story is part of Amazon Prime Day, CNET's guide to everything you need to know and how to find the best deals.
We're over halfway through Amazon's Prime Early Access Sale, and there's been a plethora of deals to shop during this second Prime Day-style event of 2022.
We've been sharing our favorite deals in real time in our October Prime Day live blog, but the best deals of the event are ultimately the ones being bought most by shoppers. Even with so many deals to choose from during events like this, there are always some clear-cut winners, and we've sifted through our Amazon data (which doesn't contain any personal information) to see what the most popular deals were based on purchases.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, many of the most popular deals are the ones featured on our Prime Day deals under $25 and everyday essential deals under $10 lists, though there are a few popular items below that have come a little more out of left field.
We've outlined 10 of the best deals according to CNET's own readers below. Many of these are still available right now, so be sure to grab what you want before the sale ends tonight.
The top pick on our list of the best smart garage door openers is down to only $17 for Prime Day, a discount of over 40%.
Amazon's diminutive third-gen smart speaker is over half off right now, making it a great time to add a bunch more to your smart home, plus you'll score a free Amazon Smart Plug worth $25 at no extra cost.
These dryer balls were a hot ticket item during Prime Day. Though the price has increased a few bucks, they are still on sale and help you save cash on dryer sheets.
This bundle featuring Amazon's latest 5-inch smart display and two Alexa-enabled smart bulbs has proven extremely popular this Prime Day. It's a neat way to get your smart home started.
The second-gen AirPods Pro are down to $223 right now, which is $26 off the list price and the lowest they've been since launch. These headphones hit shelves just last month and offer some big improvements over the first-gen earbuds.
Apple's second-gen, non-pro AirPods have also been really popular with buyers this time around. I'm sure the near-$70 discount has helped.
Method is known for its great-smelling hand soaps and cleaning products. Its three-pack in the Sweet Water scent was just $7, though it was so popular it went out of stock. The Waterfall scent is just a few bucks more, though.
Another Amazon device just squeezes into our top 10. Save 50% on Amazon's 4K Fire TV Stick and score one for just $25. This is a match for its lowest price to date.
Those who didn't go for Amazon's streaming stick seemingly opted for Roku's equally affordable Express 4K Plus. It's also down to just $25.
A good USB-C charger is an essential item these days and plenty of our readers decided to use Prime Day to up their charger game. This 65W Anker charger offers two USB-C ports and a USB-A port for triple device charging.
