Are tech products really cheaper on Prime Day?  Yes, you can find lots of tech for cheaper prices during Prime Day sales, at Amazon as well as competing retailers like Costco, Walmart, and Best Buy. During this sale window, some companies will offer bundles, freebies, or lower prices to entice you to buy directly from them instead of Amazon. We’re monitoring everyone’s sale prices during the event to update you on the most worthwhile ones. How did we choose these EcoFlow deals? ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy — devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops.  We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we’re recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing — in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping.
