Amazon Labor Day Sale: Anker Power Banks Up to 46% Off and Other Tech Deals

Amazon's ongoing Labor Day sale includes a variety of tech and home gear discounts. Anker's official storefront is offering up to 46% off selected power banks, with prices starting at $21.99 Prime shipped. Many of these discounts bring costs back to lows previously seen during Prime Day, according to 9to5Toys.

Anker Power Bank Deals

Among the notable Anker deals, the 26,250mAh 300W Prime Power Bank with charging base is $259.99, down from $330. The power bank alone is $179.98, a 22% discount off its $230 regular price. The compact 5,000mAh MagGo Qi2 15W MagSafe model in red is $29.99, a 40% discount off $50, and marks the lowest price tracked for that model. Other Anker deals include the 45W Nano charger with Smart display for $26 (Reg. $40), the 250W 6-port Prime Charging Station for $95 (Reg. $150), and the 14-in-1 triple-display Prime Docking Station for $228 (Reg. $300). The 70W Nano desk clamp power strip is $58 (Reg. $70), and the 5,000mAh Qi2 15W Nano Power Bank is $49.50 (Reg. $60).

Headphone and Audio Deals

Sony's XM5 wireless headphones are on sale for $198, which is $200 off. These were previously WIRED's top-pick wireless headphones and remain "truly excellent" according to WIRED. The newer Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones are $60 off MSRP. The Nothing Ear (3a) earbuds are $79, a $20 discount, which WIRED notes is the lowest price seen since they launched this summer.

Sonos Arc Ultra soundbar is on sale for $899, a $200 reduction. Amazon Echo Spot is $70, $40 off, and Apple AirTag (2nd Gen) is $25, $5 off.

Other Tech and Home Items

The EcoFlow Rapid Pro X power bank is $180, a $100 discount. WIRED reviewer Simon Hill calls it the best laptop power bank he has tested, noting its 300W fast-charging capability is near the maximum allowed for laptop power banks. Anker Prime Power with charging dock is also $180, $50 off, and WIRED notes this is the lowest price for that Anker model in a few months.

In home appliances, the Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven TOA-70NAS is $158, $72 off. The Typhur Sync Gold meat probe is $153, $47 off. The Aeocky Rhea-001 Dehumidifier is $230, $70 off. The Anova immersion circulator is $169, $60 off; WIRED reviewer Kat Merck recommends this touchscreen model.

Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal robot vacuum is $750, $650 off, which WIRED calls the best robot vacuum it has tested. The Shark UltraCyclone Pro handheld vacuum is $70, $20 off, with WIRED reviewer Nena Farrell noting its extendable arm helps reach areas other vacuums can't. The Govee permanent outdoor lights are $350, $90 off, a deal WIRED says crops up reasonably often but is the best you're likely to find until year's end.

Perspectives

Both 9to5Toys and WIRED covered the Amazon Labor Day sale, highlighting different products. 9to5Toys focused on Anker power bank deals, while WIRED provided a broader roundup including headphones, audio gear, kitchen appliances, vacuums, and smart home items. Neither outlet presented a conflicting view of the sale's value; both described the discounts as notable and some as record-low prices.

What was claimed, and who backed it

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
