The top 10 products Mashable readers bought in July 2025
1. DJI Mini 4K
Why we like it
Talk of a ban on DJI drones (thanks to President Trump's executive orders aimed at helping the U.S. drone industry and upping protections against malicious drone activity) has been making the rounds for a while now, which has caused a huge uptick in sales. Fortunately, you can still find the DJI Mini 4K — a Mashable reader favorite — at Amazon for $299, although it's being sold by AeroTech Hubs, a third-party seller. Secure it while you can.
2. LifeStraw Personal Water Purifier
Why we like it
The LifeStraw personal water filter was Mashable's top selling product on Prime Day 2025, so it's no surprise it made the top of the list for the whole month of July. While it's no longer down to its mega-low Prime Day pricing, it's still a solid buy at $17.97.
3. Apple AirPods Pro 2
Why we like it
The AirPods Pro regularly top our lists of the best headphones, so we're glad that our readers love them as well. "For portability, active noise cancellation, and balanced sound, your search ends with the AirPods Pro," our reviewer writes.
4. Apple AirTag 4 Pack
Why we like it
A single AirTag is usually $29, so getting a four-pack for only $79.99 is a pretty sweet deal. If you're an Apple user who frequently loses track of things or travels with a lot of luggage, AirTags are a must.
5. Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K
Why we like it
Life hack: you can bring your favorite shows and movies with you on your next vacation by squeezing the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K in your luggage. It's not at its lowest price ever, but it is still on sale for 40% off as of Aug. 6.
6. DJI Neo
Why we like it
Like the DJI Mini 4k, the DJI Neo is only available from third-party seller Aerotech Hubs at Amazon. Fortunately, the seller has excellent reviews. And since times are tough for DJI drones, we think it's still worth grabbing.
7. CMF Watch 3 Pro
Why we like it
UK-based tech startup Nothing launched a new smartwatch in July, and we're already eyeing it as the best budget smartwatch and fitness tracker of the year. It's sleek, packed with features (like ChatGPT on your wrist), and super affordable at only $99. It's no longer on sale, but it is in stock at Amazon.
8. Lego Classic Medium Creative Brick Box
Why we like it
While we love fancy Lego sets that build out to floral arrangements and retro radios, sometimes a classic brick box is a breath of fresh air. No agenda — just a bunch of Legos to build whatever you want.
9. Apple iPad, 11-inch
Why we like it
A record-low price on the basic 11-inch iPad caused quite a stir on Prime Day, so it's no surprise that it was a popular deal for the month of July. While it's no longer down to its best-ever price, it's on sale for less than $300, which is still a pretty great price for the best iPad you can get on a budget.
10. Apple AirPods 4
Why we like it
While they don't offer noise cancellation, the AirPods 4 are a value-packed pair of earbuds, and they're regularly on sale for under $100. They've been redesigned for better comfort, a secure fit, better audio quality (thanks to Apple's H2 chip and personalized spatial audio), and a total of 30 hours of battery life with the USB-C charging case.
