Dyson V7 Animal Pro+ Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
"My boyfriend just moved into a space that's about twice the size of my old apartment. My cheap little cordless vacuum wasn't holding up to the challenge of the bigger space, so we decided Prime Day was the time to splash out for a good vacuum. We also have a cat who sheds a LOT, so the Animal Pro was definitely the right choice for us. Plus, all of those added attachments though!" - Brittany Nims, Commerce Content & Strategy Manager

Echo Plus (2nd Gen)
Amazon
"I currently own just a small Echo Dot and use it WAY more than I ever thought I would. Since moving to a bigger space, I realized I need another smart home device to keep in my living room/kitchen area, and the Dot can stay in my bedroom, where I use it as an alarm in the mornings. And, the Echo Plus supposedly has an incredible speaker."
