If you want a peek at some of the best Amazon Prime Day deals before the Prime Big Deal Days event, you’re in the right place.

Amazon’s 48-hour October Prime Day sale officially kicks off later at midnight PT / 3 a.m. ET, but there are always a few waves of deals released early to whet our appetites.

We’ll be here throughout the entire event, primarily looking for discounts on items we’ve personally tested here on the Reviews team, and would recommend as quality products.

As this is a Prime event, do remember most discounts are exclusively reserved for Prime members. If you’re not currently signed up, there’s a 30-day free trial.

The best Amazon Prime Day deals

Keep checking in on our curated deals list below, as we’ll be updating it throughout the event with our latest Prime Day picks.

Tech and gaming Prime Day deals

This will be one of the busiest sections of the October Prime Day sale, and some absolute bangers are live already. I’m especially pleased to see the PS5 make a return to Dealsville. A $50 discount with no free game might not seem like that much to shout about, but it’s the only deal on the PS5 that we’ve seen in months. And given that the console has been going up in price around the world lately, we’d be tempted to jump on this now. You’ll also find some great early deals from Apple and Amazon’s own line of Echo devices.

Sony PS5 Slim

The PS5 is one of the best consoles thanks to its powerful hardware, exclusives, and 4K Blu-ray drive. Though it costs $50 more than the digital-edition PS5, this model lets you play game discs. This slim version of the console is also slightly smaller than the original and has 1TB of storage.

Amazon Echo Spot

The new Amazon Echo Spot features a brand-new display face and functions best as an alarm clock smart speaker. It offers rich sound and can control your smart home’s other devices with the help of Alexa.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Kids (16 GB)

The Kindle Paperwhite Kids is specifically designed with youngsters in mind. It is waterproof and removes distractions like videos, apps, and games.

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2023)

This is Amazon’s top streaming stick. With its powerful processor and GPU, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max is the fastest streaming device in its price range and now supports console-free Xbox gaming via Game Pass.

Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite

The Fire TV Stick Lite is a great streaming device on a budget. Like the standard Fire TV Stick, it supports 1080p streaming with HDR, but its Alexa remote is missing TV controls.

Amazon Echo Pop

The most affordable of the Amazon Echo lineup is designed to fit into small spaces without standing out. It’s available in four different colors.

Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen)

Amazon’s fifth-generation Echo Dot offers improved sound quality over previous models, along with a temperature sensor and Eero WiFi extender capabilities.

Amazon Echo (4th Gen)

Amazon’s flagship smart speaker is the best Echo for most people thanks to its room-filling sound, reliable Alexa voice control, and built-in smart-home hub capabilities.

Amazon Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen)

The latest version of the Echo Show 8 features improved audio, a built-in smart home hub, a better processor, and a revised design featuring edge-to-edge glass with a centered camera.

Ring Alarm 8-Piece Kit

Protect your home with this popular Ring Alarm set with a base station, four contact sensors, a motion detector, and more. You can control the security system and get security alerts directly from your phone.

Blink Outdoor 4 (4th Gen)

While we haven’t reviewed this exact model yet, the product comes from the Blink brand, which we have tested and reviewed time and time again. It’s a wire-free HD security camera with a long battery life, two-way audio, and Alexa compatibility.

Amazon Kindle Unlimited Subscription (3 Months)

Google Pixel Watch 2

The Pixel Watch 2 is one of the best well-rounded wearables for Android users as it has a sleek, stylish design, a variety of useful smartwatch features powered by the new Wear OS 4, and reliable, accurate GPS.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 6

The Galaxy Watch 6 comes with all the software features of the Watch 6 Classic, minus the rotating bezel, which keeps the cost down. This is a real steal for Android users as it comes packing excellent health, fitness, and sleep tracking, along with reliable notifications from your phone. Also, you can download Spotify tracks to the watch to enjoy music without dragging your phone out on a run.

Oura Ring Gen 3 Horizon

The Oura Ring Horizon is one of the lowest-profile trackers available that measures your vitals and fitness using sensors on its interior surface. It comes in several different finishes and sizes for finding the best fit for your style.

Tile Mate (2022)

The Tile Mate is designed to help you find easily misplaced items and attaches to keys, pet collars, and other important items.

Prime Day headphone deals

Headphones and earbuds are some of the most popularly discounted products every deal holiday, and Prime Day is no exception. Ahead of the event, we’re already seeing some decent price drops on AirPods and earbuds from Jabra and Amazon Echo.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) with USB-C

The AirPods Pro 2 are a big upgrade from their predecessors, with improved noise cancellation and battery life. Apple also recently unveiled that they can be used to assess your hearing and as hearing aids. This USB-C model comes with a modern charging port and added dust resistance.

Apple AirPods (3rd Gen)

The third-generation AirPods offer better audio performance than the previous-gen model. They have a similar design to the AirPods Pro but lack active noise-cancellation features.

Jabra Elite 4 Active

The Jabra Elite 4 wireless earbuds are sweat- and waterproof, have Active Noise Cancellation, and won’t break the bank.

Amazon Echo Buds (2023)

Amazon’s third-generation Echo Buds lack noise cancellation, but they sound solid for the money and include hands-free Alexa support on a budget.

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P is a great all-around headset with a retractable mic, 40 hours of battery life, comfortable ear cups, and a USB-C dongle that slots right into the front of your PS5.

Prime Day TV deals

With so much competition between TV brands, this is one of those categories where you’re never that far away from a deal throughout the year. But things tend to get a little sweeter for events like this. LG, Sony, and Samsung compete on the hottest units (like the B3 and G3 below), and we’re already seeing super affordable picks from Amazon and Vizio pop up.

LG 65-inch B3 OLED 4K TV

Though the B3 isn’t the most advanced OLED TV, it’s the most budget-friendly model and still delivers an infinite contrast ratio.

Amazon 40-inch Fire TV 2-Series HDTV

The 2-Series uses Amazon’s Fire TV interface for easy streaming access. With an HD screen rather than 4K panel, this display is meant for casual viewers who want a basic smart TV in a smaller size.

Roku 55-inch Plus Series 4K QLED TV

The Roku Plus Series is the brand’s budget-friendly QLED display. The TV has local dimming and quantum dots to provide solid contrast, color, and brightness capabilities. For under $500, the 55-inch model is a great value for anyone who wants a capable smart TV.

Vizio 50-inch MQX QLED 4K TV

The 50-inch Vizio MQX is a budget-friendly QLED built with gaming in mind. It has a higher refresh rate than most competing sets this size, which can offer smoother gameplay when paired with a PS5, Xbox Series X, or PC.

LG 65-inch G3 OLED 4K TV

The G3 uses micro-lens array technology to get brighter than most other OLED TVs while still offering perfect black levels. It also has a thin “Gallery” design that makes it ideal for mounting on your wall. However, it does not include a traditional stand.

Sony 65-inch Bravia 7 Mini LED QLED 4K TV

Sony’s Bravia 7 isn’t as bright as its flagship Bravia 9, but it still uses Mini LED technology to offer a high-contrast image. This 2024 model delivers similar performance as last year’s X95L, but it’s available in more sizes.

LG 65-inch C4 OLED 4K TV

The C4 is LG’s latest midrange 4K OLED TV. It carries over everything we loved about last year’s C3 while offering a slight increase in brightness and support for a faster 144Hz refresh rate with a PC.

Yamaha YAS-209 Soundbar

Yamaha’s YAS-209 is a convenient 2.1-channel soundbar with great sound quality, a wireless subwoofer, and a reasonable price.

Prime Day home deals

Prime Day is a great time for a home upgrade, whether that means new furniture or a nice new vacuum for you. I’m expecting we’ll see plenty of the popular discounts that we always do, like robot vacuums, small home applian

With its automatic dirt disposal, strong suction, and large main brushes, the iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO Robot Vacuum is an excellent, low-maintenance solution for any home.

Kitchen Prime Day deals

Looking for a Prime Day pick-me-up? Amazon’s sale events always answer the call for coffee, whether it’s a Nespresso pod machine or a Barista-level upgrade from Breville. Even if you’re not a fan of coffee, you can also find great discounts on blenders, air fryers, soda makers, and more.

Ninja Thirsti Drink System

The Ninja Thirsti is not your average soda maker. With the Ninja flavor cartridges, you can make vitamin rich lemonade, peach flavored seltzer, and more. This is a relatively new product on the market, and we’re seeing the first ever sale during Prime Day.

Hoan The Original Bagel Guillotine

For any bagel-loving household, the addition of a bagel slicer like the Hoan Bagel Guillotine will tremendously upgrade your morning routine. You’ll wonder how you lived your life before.

Style and beauty Prime Day deals

It’s not all high-end electronics on Prime Day. For the last few years, I’ve noticed that the Crest teeth-whitening strips below are always a bestseller on deal days. And during Amazon’s October Prime Day sale, we also tend to see great discounts on seasonal clothing and shoes. You’ll also find serums, electrics razors, makeup, hairbrushes, and more on sale.

TruSkin Vitamin C Serum

This vitamin C serum has a whopping 138K reviews on Amazon, attracting a huge number of devotees who post incredible before and after pictures of their results. Our beauty team has tested the serum and found it to be almost as good as the Skinceuticals vitamin C serum that costs nearly $200 a bottle.

Braun Series 9 Pro Plus

This advanced electric razor offers the most effective, close shave out of all razors we’ve tried.

Prime Day mattress and sleep deals

Though several of our favorite mattress brands don’t sell on Amazon, you can still find a fair few on sale during Prime Day. Some are available directly from the brand, meaning you won’t need a Prime membership to score the discount.

If you’re already in love with your bed, you can also score many sweet discounts on bedding and mattress toppers from Amazon this Prime Day. We expect to see plenty more sleep deals crop up as the event continues.

Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress (Queen)

Amazon Prime Day FAQs

When is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day technically landed in July of this year, but if you’re thinking about Amazon Prime Big Deal Days like we are, it officially kicks off on October 8. It’s another 48-hour event that lasts through the 9th.

What should I buy for Amazon Prime Day?

It’s easy to get overwhelmed with deals during Prime Day, so it’s important to stay focused on what’s actually worth your time. TVs, tech devices, home goods, fashion, hygiene, travel, and beauty products are all popular categories you can find on sale during the event, and we’ll be highlighting the best of the best here.

In terms of what isn’t on sale, it’s unlikely that we’ll see large appliances like fridges and dishwashers on sale. Products that aren’t for sale on Amazon, like direct-to-consumer style brands, are also going to be harder to find.

Who can shop Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day is one of the many benefits of Prime membership, meaning non-members are locked out of the discounts.

Browse Amazon’s website for the full selection. Check back in with us later as well, as there’s a lot more to come on this page.

He oversees a wide range of our eCommerce content covering deals, popular sales events, How to Watch guides, and VPN articles. He also utilizes his extensive experience in SEO and Google algorithm updates to help improve content and rankings for a wide range of our shoppable buying guides, reviews, versus content, and more. He has over 16 years of online journalism experience and a UK University degree in Journalism and Film & Media. Initially working as a freelance gaming journalist and eCommerce editor, he later joined Future Publishing in 2016 as their first-ever Deals Writer at TechRadar.

Over the years, Brendan has written about a wide range of subjects. Be it covering game previews at GamesCom in Germany, listing the best Amazon Prime Day deals, reviewing gaming controllers, Kindles, and folding smartphones, or even international guides on buying a mattress – he’s still quite annoyed that the UK and US have different sizes and names for them. More recently, he’s been covering international How to Watch guides on various sporting events like Formula 1, tennis, Champions League, cricket, or the hottest new movies and TV shows.   Outside of work, you’ll find Brendan trying to make a dent in various watchlists across streaming apps or playing games on his Series X or PS5, usually downloading (hoarding) yet more Game Pass games or grumbling about how open-world games should be scrapped for a solid 10-hour experience like the Uncharted series.
