Prime Day is in full swing, but Amazon isn’t the only shop with deals. Walmart has a competing sale it calls, in a burst of creativity, “Walmart Deals.” Like Prime Day, Walmart’s sale features a range of deals on headphones, tablets, kitchen gear, and other tech. The best part is, there are no members-only deals here, so you can shop without worrying you’ll be asked to sign up for one. I’ve rounded up all the best discounted Walmart buys on our favorite WIRED-tested gear.
If you can’t find anything you like, be sure to browse our roundup of the Absolute Best Prime Day Deals, or dip into our Amazon Prime Day live blog for real-time updates.
Updated June 25 at 7:30 am ET: I’ve added deals from Yamaha, Synology, Lenovo, and Lasko. I’ve also removed discontinued deals, and updated prices throughout.
Best Tech Deals

The best TV for gaming is incredibly accurate, offers near-infinite contrast, and boasts vibrant yet refined colors. Samsung’s gaming hub is the best around whether you’re playing on a console or cloud gaming, and features an intuitive gaming bar, snappy input response, and a full suite of HDMI 2.1 ports.
Affordable at its regular price, the TCL QM6K is a steal with this discount. The 65-inch model employs QLED display tech for bright colors and good contrast, even from a side viewing angle. Gamers will appreciate the 144 Hz refresh rate for low-latency performance, all powered by the intuitive Google TV operating system.
This compact bar-and-subwoofer set is the best soundbar for people who you love deep, cinematic bass but don’t have tons of room right by the TV. The wireless subwoofer can be placed anywhere you have convenient power (you can even lay it flat to slide under furniture). There’s also Bluetooth support to stream music from your phone or tablet.

Our favorite portable Bluetooth speaker, JBL’s Flip strikes the perfect balance between mobility and sound quality. The Flip 7 also has some extra goodies like water resistance, an easy-release strap, and a two-hour battery boost (or four with reduced bass).
With the same H2 chip that powers the AirPods Pro 2, the PowerBeats Pro 2 impressed our reviewer, who praised the “crazy comfy” fit and dynamic sound. There’s also ANC and transparency modes for both road safety and gym sanity, wireless charging, IP57 durability, full-on bass-forward audio quality, and built-in heart rate monitoring.
With the same gorgeous, comfortable, iconic design as its predecessor, Apple’s AirPods Max 2 bring improved noise canceling and Bluetooth connectivity. Apple also upgraded software features, like gesture controls and Adaptive Audio. They’re a bit pricey at the RRP, but this discount is decent for Apple fans.

The Apple Watch Series 11 is by far the best smartwatch for iPhone owners. The headline improvement is 24-hour battery life, which enables proper sleep tracking. You also get clinically validated watchOS health updates, including FDA-cleared hypertension notifications, Apple’s proprietary Sleep Score, and blood oxygen sensing.
The base iPad ticks all the boxes you need in a tablet. This is the latest model, updated in 2025 to an A16 chip and 6 GB of RAM. It’s perfect for casual gaming, reading books, watching movies in bed, and sharing with your kids. Amazon has the same sale for Prime members right now, but this is as good a deal as we typically see on iPads.
These teeny tiny trackers might be the best way to keep tabs on your keys or luggage if you use an iPhone. They’re some of the best trackers around. Roughly the size of a quarter, they use Bluetooth and Apple’s special U1 location-finding chip to pinpoint locations in the Find My app.

Our top pick among the best smart rings, the Oura Ring 4 has never been cheaper than this. Oura did just release a slimmer version, but the Ring 4 is currently close to half off and it’s still an excellent option for tracking health, fitness, and sleep.
The Charge 6 is old, but it’s still our favorite Fitbit and may remain so until the Fitbit name is submerged by Google. The bright AMOLED touchscreen is easy to read and it covers all the basics, monitoring your heart rate, blood oxygen, and skin temperature. It also has ECG and electrodermal activity scans to gauge irregular heart rhythms and stress levels.
The GameSir G7 SE is an excellent wired controller with sensitive and drift-resistant hall effect sticks, customizable rear buttons, and swappable faceplates. If you don’t mind plugging in, it makes an excellent choice for Xbox or PC gamers.

Worried about your kids becoming couch potatoes? This fun game console will get them up and jumping around your living room. I liked the Nex Playground when I first tried it, and the company has polished and added more games since then.
This is one of the best portable power stations for camping or road trips because it’s a manageable size. EcoFlow’s River 2 Pro has a LiFeP04 battery inside, good for 768 watt-hours. It has all the ports you need to charge your phones and small gadgets, and the X-Boost surge enables it to power small appliances.
This tops my best NAS devices guide because it’s very fast, Synology offers the most polished and comprehensive software lineup, and it has a generous array of ports. It’s also compact and relatively quiet, and the two bays are screwless.

The Lenovo LOQ 15 really stands out as impressive for the price. It is thick and fairly plain-looking, but leapfrogs many budget gaming laptops that only feature an entry-level Nvidia RTX 5050 GPU. The LOQ 15 delivers well over 60 fps in almost any game at Medium settings.
The best box fan is even more affordable than usual as part of the Walmart Deals event. With a big surface area, a handle to move it around, and a shape that fits easily in a window or sliding glass door, this is a solid way to keep cool.

Just in time for the summer sun, the best slushie machine is on sale. Whip up icy soft drinks for the kids and a frozen margarita for you. The perfect way to cool down on hot days, this machine has intuitive controls and a reliable drip tray, and it’s easy to clean.
Ninja’s flagship semi-automatic espresso machine can go toe-to-toe with Breville’s Barista Express for the title of most popular semi-automatic espresso machine. This is a great deal on a machine that nails automatic milk frothing.
The best wireless outdoor security camera for Google households, the Nest Cam Outdoor has a handy magnetic mount, an expansive 130-degree field of view, and captures sharp 1080p video with HDR and night vision. There’s also a clear-sounding speaker and microphone. You only get three hours of free event history, but you can add a Home Premium subscription ($10 a month, or $100 for the whole year) to get 30 days of event history and face recognition.

The best robot mowers save you from a tedious chore, and Mova’s sleek model boasts 360-degree lidar for 3D mapping and a camera with AI vision. Setup was straightforward when I tried it: there’s no need for wires or an antenna, and you can set multiple mowing areas. It mowed in neat lines, successfully avoided obstacles, and completed an excellent edge pass at the end.
You may remember this gadget went viral on TikTok a few years ago, and it’s still an excellent upholstery or carpet cleaner at its regular price. It’s pretty good at sucking up spills and may even remove stains, and it’s way less bulky than your average carpet cleaner.
While you can get better smart bulbs, Govee’s Smart LED bulbs are a solid choice if you already have Govee lights and want to group everything. These boast tons of colors, scenes, and effects, and you can schedule them, change the color temperature, and dim them using the Govee app.
