# Here’s What We Scored During the Sale: Prime Day Selections from the Android Central Crew

Amazon’s Prime Day stands out as one of the year’s most eagerly awaited shopping events, and like many of you, the Android Central team couldn’t help but explore the discounts. While we primarily focus on writing about the latest technology, we’re also shoppers who enjoy saving on essential items (and occasionally on things we merely desire). From culinary tools to tech gear, here’s a summary of what we acquired during the sale.

## Shruti Shekar, Editor-in-Chief

### *Cosori Pro Gen 2 Air Fryer*
– **Original Price:** $119
– **Prime Day Price:** $99 at [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/COSORI-Performance-Functions-Dishwasher-Safe-Detachable/dp/B0BD4BYR11?th=1)

Shruti didn’t go all in this Prime Day but did grab a new air fryer. “Our old one is a little worn out,” she shares, so she chose the **Cosori Pro Gen 2 Air Fryer** in white. Air fryers make a fantastic addition to any kitchen, and this model appears stylish and sophisticated. Shruti is eager to utilize it for preparing quick and nutritious meals.

### *Bissell SpinWave PET Hard Floor Spin Mop*
– **Price:** $108 at [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Bissell-SpinWave-Hard-Floor-20399/dp/B08HZFVNS7?th=1)

While it wasn’t discounted, Shruti also picked up the **Bissell SpinWave PET Hard Floor Spin Mop**. She has heard positive reviews about it and decided on the corded option for enhanced battery performance. Additionally, Bissell contributes a portion of each sale to its pet foundation, a cause that resonates with her.

## Derrek Lee, Managing Editor

### *Audio-Technica Bluetooth Turntable*
– **Original Price:** $219
– **Prime Day Price:** $149 at [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N3RFXRL/)

Derrek indulged in an impulsive purchase of the **Audio-Technica Bluetooth Turntable**. He’s been interested in acquiring one for a while, primarily for the nostalgia of vinyl records. This unit supports Bluetooth 5, Qualcomm AptX, and Hi-Fi audio, making it an excellent selection for audio enthusiasts. Although he doesn’t own any vinyl records yet, he’s looking forward to beginning his collection.

## Andrew Myrick, Senior Editor – Smartphones, Chromebooks, and Tablets

### *UGREEN 40Gbps M.2 NVMe Enclosure*
– **Original Price:** $109
– **Prime Day Price:** $74 at [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLV3D3H6)

Andrew refers to himself as somewhat of a “storage hoarder,” so instead of purchasing another portable SSD, he opted for this **UGREEN M.2 NVMe Enclosure** to utilize one of his extra NVMe drives. It’s a sensible choice for anyone who has surplus storage available.

### *GeeekPi N05 M.2 NVMe to PCIe Adapter for Raspberry Pi 5*
– **Original Price:** $13
– **Prime Day Price:** $11 at [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRK5X7V7)

Andrew also secured this **GeeekPi NVMe to PCIe Adapter** for his Raspberry Pi 5. He’s been seeking a project to engage with his Pi, and this adapter will enable him to employ an NVMe drive rather than a microSD card.

### *GENKI ShadowCast 2*
– **Original Price:** $49
– **Prime Day Price:** $39 at [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKZ36K4C?th=1)

For gaming purposes, Andrew acquired the **GENKI ShadowCast 2**, a portable USB capture card that will allow him to connect his Steam Deck or Lenovo Legion Go to a tablet or his Xreal Air 2 glasses.

## Michael Hicks, Senior Editor – Wearables and AR/VR

### *Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.1*
– **Original Price:** $39
