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.
Keep checking in on our curated deals list below, as we'll be updating it throughout the event with our latest Prime Day picks.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Amazon Prime Day is one of the many benefits of Prime membership, meaning non-members are locked out of the discounts.
