The best deals from Walmart’s anti-Prime Day sale: Save on AirPods Max, Switch 2 bundle restock

Walmart is giving Amazon Prime Day a bigger run for its money this year with a “Walmart Deals” savings event from July 8 to 13. The sale is two days longer than Prime Day 2025, which is live from July 8 to 11 (making it the longest Prime Day ever). It’s also twice as long as last year’s Walmart Deals event, which ran for three days the week before Prime Day 2024. Shoppers can peruse Walmart Deals online at Walmart.com/deals and in stores, which is a first.

Unlike Prime Day, Walmart Deals isn’t paywalled. However, paid Walmart+ members got early online access to its offers before everyone else on Monday, July 7 at 7 p.m. ET — a five-hour head start. Shoppers who haven’t signed up for Walmart+ yet can save 50% on their first year of an annual membership through July 15, paying $49 instead of $98. On top of early access to certain sales throughout the year, the program unlocks perks like free shipping, fuel discounts, and a bonus Paramount+ Essential subscription. The latter is worth $59.99 per year on its own.

Walmart’s summer sale is chock full of discounts on no-name tech brands you’ll definitely want to avoid. (I don’t know what “RNRUO” or “VEATOOL” are, and I’m too afraid to ask.) However, I managed to find some diamonds in the rough after spending a few hours combing through its listings. I’ve rounded them up below.

Of note, Walmart’s deals on Apple wearables and accessories are so good that I’ve broken them out into their own dedicated section. All AirPods models are on sale at record-low prices there, including the USB-C AirPods Max, which are now only $399, or $150 off. (Amazon was bouncing them between $399 and $429 in the first few hours of Prime Day.) Walmart also has the USB-C Apple Pencil listed for $59, or $20 off, which beats Best Buy‘s counter-offer by $20. Meanwhile, it’s sold out on Amazon.

Other highlights include a $200 discount on our favorite Dyson vacuum and a 50-inch Vizio QLED TV that’s only $218. Our resident TV expert, Leah Stodart, tells me that’s the cheapest QLED model she’s encountered anywhere so far this Prime Day. You also might be able to catch one of Walmart’s restocks of the $499 Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle during its sale, but no promises.

Walmart is now the only big retailer where you can find the USB-C AirPods Max for less than $400 (Amazon was also offering them for $399.99 at some point, but has since bumped them to $429.99). Only two colors — blue and starlight — are still in stock at Walmart at $399, so move quickly.

Why we like it

Every major shopping holiday, Walmart is known for having at least one or two TVs that are the cheapest you’ll find in that size across the other retailers. This Prime Day season, Walmart has the cheapest 50-inch QLED TV — a $218 Vizio model compared to Amazon’s cheapest 50-inch QLED, a $246.99 Hisense model. Even if your living room or bedroom can’t sport a huge screen size, there’s no reason to settle for noticeably-dull colors. This is your sign to upgrade.

If your gaming setup just needs an extra monitor rather than a whole new laptop, Walmart’s more-than-50% off deal on this Samsung monitor would be a great one to snag. You’d be getting a large 28-inch 4K playing surface with a 144Hz refresh rate for less than $300.

Why we like it

Resident vacuum expert Leah Stodart’s pick for the best Dyson vacuum for most people just became a better choice for even more people — because it’s now on sale for less than $500. (This isn’t the absolute cheapest it’s ever been, but it’s only about $50 more than the sale price we usually see for Black Friday.) The Dyson V12 Detect Slim is the most affordable way to bring home Dyson’s green laser, which points out dust and hair on the floor that you may not have seen otherwise. This model also comes with the motorized mini hair screw tool for tackling pet hair on furniture.

The Lego version of the final battle in Endgame is one that any Marvel fan and pro Lego builder should be displaying — especially one with 360-degree details. Regularly $99.99, this now-$63 set comes with 794 pieces and six core minifigures: Captain Marvel, Okoye, Wanda Maximoff, Shuri and Valkyrie minifigures, plus Thanos and The Wasp.
