This week’s 10 best Amazon deals: Rubbermaid, Toto, ZeroWater and more

Amazon has restocked its sale section for another week, offering thousands of new markdowns across the latest tech, beloved home appliances and gardening essentials. It would be so much easier if you could find the best deals all on one handy landing page, but Amazon tends to hide its more enticing offers. That’s why I dig through thousands of offers to find the week’s most notable price drops on gear that CNN Underscored editors can recommend.

This week, my efforts scouring pages of offers has paid off with deals on a set of Rubbermaid food storage containers with savings that undercut those of Prime Day. You’ll also find a new low price on the best bidet we’ve tested and a way to cut single-use water bottles from your life while saving money on a new ZeroWater filtered pitcher.

Rubbermaid Brilliance 9.6-Cup Food Storage Containers, Set of 2

These larger food storage containers can hold more than just single servings of prepared meals. The 9.6-cup capacity means you can pack in larger amounts of leftovers or use one to bring a dish with you on a way to a cookout this summer. Each of the two included containers come with airtight lids and are made from a BPA-free plastic that's lighter and less prone to breaking than glass alternatives. Today's offer is the best price of the year at $2 under last month's Prime Day offer.

Apple AirPods Pro 3

Another chance to save on the earbuds that I use every single day has arrived. You don't just have to take my word on it that the AirPods Pro 3 are the best earbuds around, as CNN Underscored senior tech editor Mike Andronico found that they're an easy recommendation for those with an iPhone, iPad or Mac. I swear by the rich sound quality and reliable active noise cancellation, and I can't recommend them enough at $49 off, especially when I bought them for myself at full price.

Toto Washlet S2 Electronic Bidet Toilet Seat

The Toto Washlet S2 recently landed on our updated guide to the best bidets, thanks to the most comfortable stream and dryer we've ever tested and the added perk of endless warm water. It's the most impressive bidet experience we've had, which makes its higher price tag easier to justify. This week's Amazon discount also helps, taking $62 off the usual MSRP for one of the first times.

ZeroWater 10-Cup 5-Stage Water Filter Pitcher

While ZeroWater hasn't impressed CNN Underscored's testing editors enough to land this filtered water pitcher among the best options they've tested, it's the brand that I have in my own refrigerator. It helps me avoid single-use water bottles and has a nifty Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) sensor that monitors water contents and tells you when it's time to replace the filter. Aside from that, it's now more affordable than our top picks from Brita and Epic Water, thanks to a $10 discount that returns it to the lowest price of the year.

Philips Hue Essential Starter Kit

Philips Hue smart lights are one of my favorite pieces of tech around my home and not just because of the convenience of being able to use my voice or smartphone to turn them on and off. The added energy savings from automating them to turn on and off when I leave the house cuts down on my power bill, while the adjustable color temperature allows me to wake up to an energizing blue hue and end my day with warmer, cozier lighting. This kit include four bulbs and a hub, and is on sale for only the second time this year. It also marks a new Amazon low price.

Lego Botanicals Succulents

Assemble this assortment of nine Lego succulents for less than ever before with this Amazon discount. It's a new low price and the first time I've seen it drop below $40. This set features several types of cacti and desert plants that can be combined into a single centerpiece or disconnected and scattered throughout your home to spread out the lifelike plants that don't need to be watered.

Haus & Garten Classic Pro Titanium Bypass Pruning Shears

If you have a garden to tend to, this pair of discounted pruning shears is ready to help for 40% less. The nonslip ergonomic handles come in four colors, and each handle is designed to last for years of use trimming branches or steams with titanium-coated blades that protect against rust and corrosion. They're also designed to help make gardening more comfortable for those with smaller hands, seniors and anyone who suffers from arthritis.

Anker Prime 3-in-1 Qi2 25W MagSafe Charging Stand

The wireless charging stand that I have on my desk is now down to its best price ever at $90 off. Anker's most capable 3-in-1 model can charge a smartphone, Apple Watch and wireless earbuds at once, all in a compact footprint. Normally, these kinds of wireless chargers end up overheating and slowing down charging speeds, but Anker has added an actively cooled 25W MagSafe mount that helps keep your iPhone cool while its battery is being replenished.

Oxo Brew 9-Cup Drip Coffee Maker in Stainless Steel

This Oxo coffee maker hasn't sold for this low since back in 2020. It may be an older countertop appliance that's be on digital store shelves for years, but it's a tried-and-true way to start your morning with a fresh pot of single-serve coffee that, on average, over 3,000 Amazon customers can recommend. It uses the brand's BetterBrew technology to control the water temperature and set optimized brewing cycles to ensure you'll always enjoy a flavorful pour regardless of whether you're making a few cups or a full carafe.

Greenworks 16-Inch Cordless Electric String Trimmer

Overgrown grass near walkways, on the edge of your patio and in the corners of your yard where a typical mower can't reach doesn't stand a chance against this electric string trimmer. Greenworks makes some of my favorite outdoor tools that ditch gas in favor of battery-powered designs, and this cordless tool is now selling for its lowest price ever at $70 off. It comes complete with the battery and charger needed to perfect your lawn this summer.
