You may not have thought it was possible, but Amazon is still breaking records: A representative for the company told CNBC that its annual sales event, Amazon Prime Day, currently underway, is "so far bigger than ever." As of Tuesday morning, the e-commerce company's day-of discounts also led to a new sales record for the Instant Pot, a kitchen gadget that works as a pressure cooker, slow cooker and seemingly everything in between. "Our Instant Pot Duo 6Qt sold out in 19 hours, including [a] 4-hour technical glitch rendering our product unavailable," Robert Wang, CEO of the Canadian company which produces the item, told CNBC Make It Tuesday. "The total volume broke our previous records." Indeed, the six-quart version of the Instant Pot Duo, which is usually $99.95 but was priced at $58.99 for Prime Day, was only available from third-party sellers on Amazon as of Tuesday afternoon — surprising given that Wang tells CNBC Make It the company's preparation for the event began as early as March. The three-quart version, typically $79.95 but discounted to $59.99, held the top spot in Amazon's rankings as No. 1 seller in the Home & Kitchen category. The internet-connected cooker gained a cult following in 2017, and today boasts over 1.4 million devotees on Facebook. The secret to creating such a popular product has been seeking out criticism, according to Wang.<doc-sep>Courtney Campbell USA TODAY — Our editors review and recommend products to help you buy the stuff you need.

After 36 hours of various lightning deals and price drops on our favorite products, Amazon Prime Day is finally over and I can finally take a nap. Seriously, these sales were nuts. Shoppers went crazy over products like the Instant Pot, 23andMe Health+Ancestry DNA Kit, and Amazon Fire TV Stick while saving some serious cash in the process. If you somehow happened to miss these sales or avoided Prime Day entirely, don't fret—there are still plenty of deals on Amazon every day and some deals from Prime Day are still available (though they might not be as good) and you don't need a Prime membership to get them. Without further ado, here are the best deals from Amazon Prime Day that you can still get. Top Prime Day Deals Still Available Other Great Deals Prices are accurate at the time this article was published, but may change over time<doc-sep>Amazon said Wednesday that this year's Prime Day was its "biggest in history" as Prime members purchased more than 100 million products during this year’s event. The Seattle giant did not provide specifics, and added it had more sign-ups for Prime on July 16 than any previous day in the company's history. Amazon uses the discount celebration to grab new members and promote its products and services. The day was a boon for some of Amazon's own products, with some of its best-sellers being the Fire TV Stick, Echo Show and Echo Spot. Non-Amazon products also sold well including the Instant Pot multicooker and LifeStraw personal water filtration system. Last year, Amazon said sales grew more than 60 percent during the event, breaking a record at the time and surpassing Amazon's Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales combined. The company had also added "tens of millions of Prime members" to its platform — helping it surpass 100 million people for the first time earlier this year. When reached for further details about Amazon's sales growth this year, a spokeswoman for Amazon told CNBC the website has not "shared percentage growth this year." It was also the first Prime Day that Amazon owned Whole Foods, which has been touting its own deals throughout the week and offered shoppers $10 to spend on Amazon if they spent $10 on groceries. At Whole Foods, the best-selling deal was organic strawberries, the company said. Industry analysts had been anticipating Amazon could ring up at least $3.6 billion in sales globally through midnight Tuesday. A series of glitches on Amazon's website Monday around 3 p.m. ET stalled many users from purchasing items or searching deals right away. But an early report said Prime Day sales on Amazon's third-party marketplace were up nearly 90 percent during the first 12 hours of the event from a year ago. (In 2017, Prime Day kicked off at 9 p.m. ET.) "We know there were some disappointed customers and we regret any bad experience, even for just one customer," the Amazon spokeswoman said. "Fortunately, many Prime members were able to access our deals – that’s apparent in the numbers we’re seeing. And we have some key learnings for next year." Amazon said late in the day Tuesday that small- and medium-sized businesses globally had already exceeded more than $1 billion in sales. (CNBC also this week reported on Amazon sellers who say they were unfairly suspended before Prime Day.) Amazon shares hit a record high Wednesday morning, topping a market capitalization of $900 billion. Its stock had already been up about 80 percent from a year ago. Retailers competing with Amazon have also been trying to soak up some sales this week, offering their own deals events online. Target, which had a one-day sale running on its website, said Tuesday it was the "highest single day of traffic and sales of 2018" online so far for the company. According to Adobe Analytics, retailers with more than $1 billion in revenue saw a 54 percent increase in sales compared with an average Tuesday. The service did not say whether that increase includes Amazon. Adobe measures online transactions for 80 of the largest 100 U.S. web retailers. Retailers with less than $5 million in revenue, though, saw online sales drop 18 percent on Prime Day. "As a result of Amazon’s holiday increasing in popularity, numerous retailers offered deals on their own sites to combat Amazon, turning mid-July into a mini holiday shopping season. People love to comparison shop, with many turning to Amazon’s competitors to compare deals and prices. Prime Day has turned into a huge opportunity for all online retailers,” said Taylor Schreiner, director of Adobe Digital Insights.
