We're still a couple of days out, but plenty of July 4th deals have already landed. As a product tester, I've been keeping an eye on all of our favorite tested products to see if any of them have great discounts.

I've found that whether you're browsing for the best air fryer, the best vacuum for pet hair, or the best grill for a cookout, you can find some huge savings. In some cases, you can save thousands of dollars.

There's a lot on offer out there in the summer sales, but not all deals are actually worth buying. These are our favorite July 4th deals – all tested or vetted by our experts.

Weber Spirit II E-310 Grill | Was $569, now $519 at Weber

Weber Spirit II E-310 Grill | Was $569, now $519 at Weber

This is my favorite gas grill. It's simple, relatively cheap, and makes great food. This isn't the biggest discount around, but it's money worth saving on the best grill you can buy.

Ooni Fyra 12 Wood Pellet Pizza Oven | Was $349, now $259 at Amazon

Ooni Fyra 12 Wood Pellet Pizza Oven | Was $349, now $259 at Amazon

This is my favorite pizza oven. It's not as easy to use as a top-end Ooni Karu, but it's hundreds of dollars cheaper, and the pizza it makes tastes as good.

You can find more details in our Ooni Fyra 12 review.

Ooni Koda 12 Gas Powered Pizza Oven | Was $499.95, now $399.95 at Williams Sonoma

Ooni Koda 12 Gas Powered Pizza Oven | Was $499.95, now $399.95 at Williams Sonoma

This isn't the best price I've ever seen for this oven, but it's a rare discount on an Ooni bundle. My biggest criticism of these ovens is that they don't include essential equipment like a pizza peel, but this deal takes care of that. It's a great oven; it has all the benefits of the Ooni Fyra 12 but it's much easier to use because you don't need to learn how to start and maintain a pellet fire.

Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo | Was $999.95, now $799.95 at Best Buy

Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo | Was $999.95, now $799.95 at Best Buy

This is your best option for an indoor pizza oven. There are others on sale, but this is much better than all of them, one of a handful of indoor pizza ovens that are actually worth buying. That's because this oven has dedicated modes for different styles of pizzas, from deep dish to NY style. Unlike most other indoor ovens, it does a great job of charring the pizza crust.

Ninja Woodfire | Was $369.99 now $299.98 at Amazon

Ninja Woodfire | Was $369.99 now $299.98 at Amazon

This little grill is much, much, better than it should be. We were very skeptical when we put it to the test, but it does a great job at smoking small cuts of meat and grilling burgers.

You can find more details in our Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill review.

Traeger Grills Ironwood 650 | Was $1,299.99, now $1,099.95 at Traeger

Traeger Grills Ironwood 650 | Was $1,299.99, now $1,099.95 at Traeger

This is a great smoker for beginners. The 650sq in. capacity is perfect for most families and it won't take up too much space. It's easy to use and even connects over WiFi to give you notifications about temperature and cooking time.

Kitchen appliances

KitchenAid Artisan Mini Stand Mixer | was $379.99, now $259.99 at Amazon

KitchenAid Artisan Mini Stand Mixer | was $379.99, now $259.99 at Amazon

The Artisan Mini is one of the best ways to get a KitchenAid mixer without spending a small fortune. It's just as good as the full-size Artisan, but the capacity is a little lower. 'A little lower' doesn't mean much, since this can still turn out 60 cookies in a single sitting.

Instant Vortex Plus XL Air Fryer Oven | Was $219.95, now $129.99 at Amazon

Instant Vortex Plus XL Air Fryer Oven | Was $219.95, now $129.99 at Amazon

This is a huge discount on one of our favorite air fryers. It's fast, easy to use, and you can watch your food as it cooks, so you don't even have to open the air fryer to check it. Best of all, you can synchronize the two drawers so every part of your meal finishes at the same time.

Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker | Was $149.99, now $79.99 at Amazon

Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker | Was $149.99, now $79.99 at Amazon

We're far from convinced about the quality of Keurig coffee, but if you need a cheap daily caffeine hit, you won't find a better deal than this.

Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine | was $749.99, now $699.95 at Amazon

Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine | was $749.99, now $699.95 at Amazon

This isn't a huge discount, but our resident barista swears by this machine. It grinds beans for you and has automatic modes, so beginners and experts alike can make excellent coffee.

Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker | Was $179.95, now $149.99

Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker | Was $179.95, now $149.99

Vacuums

Dyson V15 Detect Complete | was $879.99, now $599.99 at Dyson
Editor's Pick

Dyson V15 Detect Complete | was $879.99, now $599.99 at Dyson

This is one of our favorite ever vacuum cleaners. It can clean rugs so well that it returns them to their original color, and the laser is no gimmick but helps to illuminate dust you can't see.

There are more details in our Dyson V15 Detect review.

Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum | Was $469.99, now $379.99 at Amazon

Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum | Was $469.99, now $379.99 at Amazon

The V8 is a great option if you want Dyson-quality vacuuming without spending thousands of dollars. This has a pretty short runtime, but we can't fault its performance on every floor surface.

Shark Vertex Cordless Vacuum | Was $449.99, now $377.48 at Walmart

Shark Vertex Cordless Vacuum | Was $449.99, now $377.48 at Walmart

I've tested vacuums for years, and this is still one of the best. It offers near-Dyson performance at a much more reasonable price, and now it's $100 less. When I tested it I found the compact folding storage a bit of a gimmick, but being able to bend at the neck makes it unbelievably easy to clean under furniture.

Dyson Outsize + | Was $599.99, now $399.99 at Amazon

Dyson Outsize + | Was $599.99, now $399.99 at Amazon

One of our favorite vacuums, and once our pick for the best vacuum overall, $400 for a vacuum of this quality is a steal.

Shark Stratos | Was $479, now $399 at Shark

Shark Stratos | Was $479, now $399 at Shark

Unlike most upright vacuums, the Shark Stratos is nimble. You can unhook it from the base to easily vacuum on stairs.

Mattresses and bedding

Mellanni Queen Sheet Set | Was $50.97, now $34.97 at Amazon

Mellanni Queen Sheet Set | Was $50.97, now $34.97 at Amazon

We usually hesitate to recommend cheap sheets but the best affordable bed sheets are the exception. They come in dozens of colors and patterns, are incredibly soft, and unlike other sheets at this price point, feel luxurious.

Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set | Was $339, now $220.35 at Cozy Earth

Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set | Was $339, now $220.35 at Cozy Earth

Zinus Cooling Green Tea | Was $599.00, now $449.00 at Zinus

Zinus Cooling Green Tea | Was $599.00, now $449.00 at Zinus

This definitely isn't our favorite mattress, but it's pretty great for the price. It keeps you cool and it doesn't cost much – and it's now at an even better price in the July 4th sales. So, if you're on a budget, you can't go wrong with this deal.

You can find more detail in our Zinus Cooling Green Tea Mattress review.

Emma Original Mattress | Was $1,159.00, now $579 at Emma

Emma Original Mattress | Was $1,159.00, now $579 at Emma

The Emma Original is perfect bed-in-a-box. There are better mattresses out there, but not at this price point. You should bear in mind that it sleeps a little warm, and the edges are a little mushy to sit on, but our ester mostly loved this bed.

You can find more detail in our Emma Original Mattress review.

Helix Dusk Luxe Mattress | Was $2,373.80, now $1,780.30 at Helix

Helix Dusk Luxe Mattress | Was $2,373.80, now $1,780.30 at Helix

This is a hotel-comfortable bed that sleeps incredibly cool, so it's great for hot sleepers. However, bear in mind that it wobbles a lot; if you're a light sleeper, your partner might wake you up if they turn over in the night.

You can find more detail in our Helix Dusk Luxe Mattress review.

Tempur-Adapt Topper | Was $419.00, now $251.40 at Tempur-Pedic

Tempur-Adapt Topper | Was $419.00, now $251.40 at Tempur-Pedic

Tempur mattresses can be great, but they usually cost thousands of dollars. A Tempur topper like this can bring that Tempur quality at a much lower price. The code TOPPERS40 will save you more than $150.

ViscoSoft Select High Density Mattress Topper | Was $269.95, now $199.95 at ViscoSoft

ViscoSoft Select High Density Mattress Topper | Was $269.95, now $199.95 at ViscoSoft

This is a great topper for the price, and a great choice for improving dorm beds. It's relatively cheap but turn make even the firmest bed into a cozy cocoon.

Slumber Cloud Core Mattress Protector | Was $209, now $104.50 at Slumber Cloud

Slumber Cloud Core Mattress Protector | Was $209, now $104.50 at Slumber Cloud

I recommend moving quickly for this cool, soft mattress topper. This is the lowest price we've seen, but only a few sizes are available, so you need to move quickly.

FAQs

When are the July 4th sales?

It seems like an obvious question, but the answer is a little vague. Many July 4th sales have already started, and I expect we'll see deals until the weekend.

What's best to buy on July 4th? 

The best things to buy in the July 4th sales are grills. Most people buy a new grill in the runup to July 4th so that they're ready for a cookout. This means that most big box retailers buy lots of stock of grills so they don't run out in the key selling period. Afterwards, they have lots of stock they need to get rid of to make space for new products, which means you can find grills that should be worth thousands of dollars on sale for a lot less.
