I’ve Reported on Products for 5+ Years, and These Amazon Home Labor Day Sales Are Worth Shopping Now

Amazon best-sellers are generally loved by shoppers because they’re actually worth the buy. But finding them on sale won’t come as easily. The exception to the rule is shopping top-rated finds around a big holiday, which makes Amazon’s Labor Day sale the perfect opportunity to finally get those beloved items. 

After reporting on popular Amazon products for over five years, you can say I’m well versed on the best finds from the biggest brands, like Levoit, Yankee Candle, and Black+Decker. Many of these chart-topping Amazon best-sellers have more than 10,000 five-star ratings from reviewers who use them constantly. Here, you’ll find everything from cleaning items like vacuums to functional decor like throw blankets and bathroom mats. They’re discounted ahead of the Labor Day sale, so you can scoop them up at a fraction of the price now. Yes, we’re shocked they're already on sale, too.

Black+Decker Dustbuster AdvancedClean Handheld Vacuum

A handheld vacuum with more than 68,400 five-star ratings isn’t something to glance over. The Black+Decker cordless vacuum may be small, but reviewers confirm that its powerful suction is enough to rival an upright cleaner. It has a lightweight design, a compact build, and a decent-sized dust cup. Plus, the vacuum comes with a crevice tool to clean between couch cushions and a brush attachment that’s ideal for cleaning up pet hair. 

Flexzilla Garden Hose

We were shocked to find that this Flexzilla Garden Hose was one of the most popular Real Simple reader purchases during Prime Day. But upon further inspection, we can totally understand why. Unlike traditional hoses, this one is lightweight, easy to maneuver, and extremely flexible, preventing annoying kinks while washing the car or watering flower beds.  

Levoit Core 300 Air Purifier

If you’re in the market for an air purifier, but aren’t willing to shell out over $100 for one, consider this best-selling Levoit find. The larger model scored the top spot in our Real Simple testing, so you know you can trust this compact Core 300 option. The air purifier removes dust, odors, and allergens thanks to a 360-degree cleaning system, complete with three filters for cleaner air in no time. 

Yankee Candle Autumn Wreath Large Jar Candle

Yankee Candles are loved by both Amazon shoppers and our editors alike, which is why you need to have this decor piece on your radar. The candles burn for up to 150 hours, deliver a steady burn, and emit a light scent that won’t overwhelm the room. Plus, we can attest that these candles last (almost) forever. This editor has several seasonal jars that get used time and time again.   

Vtopmart Clear Plastic Drawer Organizer Set

Junk drawers are no match for this popular organizer set that comes with 25 various-sized dividers to accommodate both small and large spaces. Made of easy-to-clean plastic, the clear organizers are ideal for kitchen drawers and bathroom cabinets. They have a non-slip backing, stackable design, and durable makeup to prevent cracking under pressure.  

Bedsure Fleece Throw Blanket

Cooler temperatures are coming, so it’s time to stock up on blankets, like this cozy Bedsure throw, while it’s on sale for $19. Made with fleece, the blanket is warm, soft, and lightweight, making it easy to throw in the washing machine. It also has a luxe appearance that’ll look nice draped on the couch or your bed. You can get it in 34 colors, including autumnal hues like mustard, burgundy, pink, and mineral blue.

Olanly Bathroom Rug Mat

Thin floor towels have nothing on this bathroom rug mat that was bought more than 20,000 times in the past month. The plush rug has a shaggy fiber design that feels cushiony under foot and is extremely absorbent, which is ideal when drying off post-shower. We also love that it has a rubber backing, keeping the rug in place while helping to prevent slips and falls. 

PurSteam 10-in-One Floor Steam Mop

Based on our Real Simple in-house testing, this PurSteam cleaner is considered to be the best steam mop due to its hard-working design that’s sure to please. The floor steam mop cleans tiles and hardwood floors, getting rid of gunk and stains in minutes. It can even convert to a handheld steamer to disinfect fabric surfaces, like couches, kid toys, and pet beds.
