Thousands of products get discounted during Amazon's Big Spring Sale. But how do you know a deal is really, really good? Especially since you can't always trust the "before" price or percent off.
Instead of just taking Amazon's word that a discount is good, we vet the deals using our own price history data and price-tracking tools like CamelCamelCamel and Keepa. When we crunched the numbers for the Big Spring Sale (which runs through March 31), we found these X deals that we feel comfortable calling "hot."

How We Crunched the Numbers
Thousands of items are discounted whenever Amazon throws a major sale, and the Big Spring Sale is no different. So when we look for the best of the best deals, here are some signs we look for:
1. It's the lowest price ever.
2. It's better than the most recent Black Friday price
3. It's a rarely discounted product.
We don't use the before price or percentage discount alone because of the following:
-
Prices fluctuate constantly and retailers throw a lot of sales. So simply knowing a product is on sale or half off isn't enough if that product is frequently on sale or half off.
-
The before price can't be trusted. The before price you see on a site is often just the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) or a regular price that the item rarely — if ever — actually sold for. This makes discounts appear more dramatic, enabling stores to advertise deals like "75% off" when the sale price may only be 10% below what the product typically costs.
The Hottest Spring Prime Day Prices We've Found
Tineco Floor ONE S5 Wet Dry Vacuum Cleaner and Mop
Sale Price: $199 (reg. $349.99)
Our Rating: 10/10
The Tineco line of floor care products is pricey, so we always watch for discounts during major Amazon sales. This sale got a 10/10 from us because not only is it a rare discount, but it's the lowest price we've seen on this product.
Apple AirTags, 4 ct
Sale Price: $59.99 (reg. $99)
Our Rating: 10/10
Yes, AirTags get discounted every time Amazon throws a major sale. But this happens to be the lowest price we've ever seen on the pack of four (lower than Black Friday even). You're getting a price of $14.99 per AirTag, so it's a smart deal to grab if you need a few more AirTags for spring break and summer travel.
Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool HP07 Air Purifier
Sale Price: $459.99 (reg. $749.99)
Our Rating: 10/10
Amazon's big sales are an especially good time to bring pricey items into your budget — like Dyson products, for example. This bladeless fan and air purifier is 39% off, and when we dig into the numbers, we find that beats the last lowest price we saw (on Black Friday) by about $100. That gets a 10/10 from us.
Roblox Gift Cards, Up to 20% Off
Sale Price: $42.50 (reg. $50) or $80 (reg. $100)
Our Rating: 10/10
You get 20% off when you buy a $100 physical gift card and 15% off when you buy a $50 digital gift card. This is a rare discount. And if you have kids in your life, it's a hot gift to have tucked away for the next birthday.
Pacifica Products, Up to 74% Off
Sale Price: As low as $5.22 (reg. $20)
Our Rating: 9/10
A variety of beauty products are marked down for the Big Spring Sale, some of them by more than 70%. In some cases, we're seeing the lowest prices ever. In other cases, we're seeing prices we've seen before. But if the products you want to stock up on are marked down, this is a solid sale to shop.
Intex Ultra XTR Frame 14' x 42" Round Above Ground Outdoor Swimming Pool
Sale Price: $399.99 (reg. $699.99)
Our Rating: 8/10
The hotness of this deal for you depends on how much you need a pool for summer. But if you do, it's the lowest price we've seen on this brand at this size. We docked it a couple points because Walmart has a similar deal for less.
Apple AirPods Pro 3 Wireless Earbuds
Sale Price: $199 (reg. $249)
Our Rating: 8/10
While this is the lowest we've seen these go, it's not a rare discount. Still, 20% off high-end AirPods is a solid deal if you can't wait until next Black Friday. But if you can, we suggest waiting, because Amazon's Apple discounts on Black Friday tend to be the best of the year.
Cuisinart Prep ‘n Cook Outdoor Table
Sale Price: $166.99 (reg. $299.99)
Our Rating: 7/10
This isn't the lowest we've seen this go. We saw it about $30 cheaper last Black Friday. That said, it's still the lowest price we've seen this year, and the discount comes at a time when you're actually updating your patio for the summer. It's also been a KCL-reader favorite so far this sale, with dozens of you snapping this up on the first day of the Big Spring Sale.
