The leading 10 items Mashable readers bought in July 2025
1. DJI Mini 4K
Price: $299 at Amazon
Why we like it: Speculation about a potential ban on DJI drones has been making waves, resulting in a spike in purchases. Thankfully, you can still acquire the DJI Mini 4K — a fan favorite among Mashable readers — at Amazon for $299, sold by the third-party vendor, AeroTech Hubs. Grab it while supplies last.
2. LifeStraw Personal Water Purifier
Price: $17.97 at Amazon (Save $1.98)
Why we like it: The LifeStraw personal water filter was Mashable’s best-selling item on Prime Day 2025, so it’s no shock it led the pack for July. Although it’s not at its Prime Day price, it remains an excellent buy at $17.97.
3. Apple AirPods Pro 2
Price: $169 at Amazon (Save $80)
Why we like it: The AirPods Pro consistently top our rankings for the best headphones, so we’re pleased to see our readers love them too. “For portability, active noise cancellation, and balanced sound, your quest ends with the AirPods Pro,” our reviewer notes.
4. Apple AirTag 4 Pack
Price: $79.99 at Amazon (Save $19.01)
Why we like it: A single AirTag typically costs $29, so snagging a four-pack for just $79.99 is a fantastic deal. If you’re an Apple user who often misplaces items or travels with extensive luggage, AirTags are essential.
5. Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K
Price: $29.99 at Amazon (Save $20.00)
Why we like it: You can take your favorite shows and movies along on your next trip by tucking the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K into your luggage. It’s not at its lowest price ever, but it’s currently on sale for 40% off as of Aug. 6.
6. DJI Neo
Price: $199 at Amazon
Why we like it: Similar to the DJI Mini 4k, the DJI Neo is exclusively available through the third-party seller, Aerotech Hubs, at Amazon. Luckily, the seller has excellent ratings. Given the current climate for DJI drones, we believe it’s still a worthwhile buy.
7. CMF Watch 3 Pro
Price: $99 at Amazon
Why we like it: The UK-based tech startup Nothing introduced a new smartwatch in July, and we’re already considering it the best budget smartwatch and fitness tracker of the year. It’s stylish, loaded with features (including ChatGPT on your wrist), and incredibly affordable at only $99. While it’s not on sale anymore, it remains in stock at Amazon.
8. Lego Classic Medium Creative Brick Box
Price: $17.99 at Amazon (Save $17.00)
Why we like it: While we appreciate elaborate Lego sets that construct floral arrangements and vintage radios, sometimes a classic brick box offers a refreshing change. No complexities — just a collection of Legos to build whatever you can imagine.
9. Apple iPad, 11-inch
Price: $299 at Amazon (Save $50)
Why we like it: A historically low price on the basic 11-inch iPad created quite a buzz on Prime Day, so it’s no wonder it was a hot deal for July. It’s no longer at its lowest price, but it’s available for under $300, which remains a fantastic price for the best budget-friendly iPad.
10. Apple AirPods 4
Price: $99 at Amazon (Save $30)
Why we like it: While they lack noise cancellation, the AirPods 4 are a great value pair of earbuds and are frequently discounted to under $100. They’ve been redesigned for improved comfort, a secure fit, enhanced audio quality (thanks to Apple’s H2 chip and personalized spatial audio), and a total of 30 hours of battery life.
