If you didn’t manage to snag the waterproof speaker of your dreams during Amazon Prime Day last week, it’s not too late for beach season. In anticipation of the Fourth of July, many brands and retailers are continuing to offer discounts on everything from outdoor gear to travel essentials, and we’ve hand-picked the best of the best that we’ve tested and used ourselves.
As research-obsessed consumer journalists, we’re not just looking for steep price drops. We track price history and look for uncommon discounts on products we’ve tested ourselves, from brands we trust such as Bose, Le Creuset and Dyson. Here are our 13 favorites.

Towel off in comfort with the “spa-like” towels we declared the best value after testing 16 different styles.

Brooklinen offers 20% off sitewide until 5 July, which includes the linen shower curtain we praised in our guide to the best shower curtains and the down comforter we recommended as a wedding gift.

It comes with two floor heads and multiple attachments for a cleaner home from every angle.
