It’s the final day of Amazon’s Big Deal Days, and after a full day of tracking prices, comparing discounts and watching what’s actually selling, we know which deals are worth your attention. The sale ends at midnight tonight, so this is your last day to shop and save up to 70% on brands like Hanes, Levi, Ugg and more. We’re keeping this list focused on the markdowns that are genuinely worthwhile, evaluating price history, overall value, and whether something is actually worth buying. That means skipping the so-so savings and zeroing in on the deals that really stand out.

✔ What to wait on this Prime Day (and how we pick the best deals)
Our writers and editors are deal-hunting experts who verify price drops, star ratings and more to help you save money and shop with confidence. Some deals are sneaky: starting prices can be inflated to make discounts look more impressive, and some items are cheaper elsewhere (or we expect a bigger price drop later this year for Black Friday). So we’re here to do the hard work for you. Want to know what to skip this Prime Day? Here’s what our experts recommend waiting to buy until later this year:
• High-end electronics: While we’ve found some strong tech deals, especially on Amazon devices, mid-range brands and smaller accessories like Apple AirPods, the biggest markdowns on higher-priced tech typically come during Cyber Monday, so it’s probably worth waiting a little longer.
• Large home appliances: While there are some very worthwhile deals on vacuums and small kitchen appliances, we’ll see the deepest discounts on bigger home appliances, like refrigerators and washing machines, come Black Friday.
• Toys: Aside from a few smart seasonal buys, like this sale on Lego advent calendars (grab one now, because they’re unlikely to be discounted in November when everyone else is shopping for them), we’d skip other toys, as Black Friday is a better time to snag gifts.
Our top October Amazon Prime Day deals
Robot vacuums are great, but for a truly hands-off experience, you’ll want a self-emptying model: This top-seller has a collection bin that can hold up to 30 days’ worth of dust and debris. That means you could go as long as one month without having to clean it out, saving you even more time.
It’s powerful enough to zap up everything from the kids’ crumbs to Fido’s fur, and its 360-degree LiDAR vision allows it to sense and move around any larger objects and furniture it comes across. The Matrix Clean feature encourages it to work in a grid pattern for more thorough coverage, and a built-in HEPA filter helps purify the air while it tackles dust bunnies.
Great time to buy: It’s yet to dip lower than this in the past year, so save 56% while you can.
The latest AirPods Pro came out last October (Apple more recently announced the iPhone 18 Pro and the latest base model buds, the AirPods 5, but not new Pros). They still have the most effective noise cancellation of any Apple earbuds, and our reviewer praised the great sound and improved battery life (eight hours). These buds even have heart-rate sensing for workouts.
Great time to buy: AirPods don’t drop this low this often. This is the best price we’ve seen them at in at least the last 30 days.
Need an extra layer for those crisp Autumn days? Don’t miss out on this soft fleece zip-up hoodie while it’s nearly 65% off. Amazon’s No. 1 bestseller comes in a range of colors, from classic black to navy, and has over 60,000 five-star ratings. One shopper said: “I love this jacket. Super comfortable and warm. The jacket has stayed soft after washing several times. It has not faded and the zipper has not had any issues. The fabric on this is quality for the price point. Recommend!”
Great time to buy: At just $10 in most colors, this sweatshirt is within $1 of its 2026 low.
Pet hair, dusty baseboards and everyday floor messes are no match for this hardworking upright. It uses two brush rolls and powerful suction to tackle debris on carpets and hard floors, while the sealed HEPA system helps trap dust and dander instead of sending it back into the air. The Lift-Off pod also makes it easier to clean stairs and other hard-to-reach spots, and built-in headlights help illuminate fur and crumbs hiding under furniture.
Good deal: A steep discount makes this a smart buy for anyone who wants a more powerful, pet-focused upright.
“After having heard nothing but raves about these pillows for years, I finally bought a pair to see what all the hype was about,” says Senior Writer Britt Ross. “Fair warning: They come vacuum-sealed, so when you first see them, you’ll think, There’s no way these will be comfortable. But give ’em a few hours, and they fluff up beautifully. I was impressed by how soft yet supportive they feel, and thanks to their breathable construction, I didn’t wake up with sweaty hair. Now I want to replace every pillow in my house with these!”
Psst: Check out our full Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows review for more.
Great time to buy: At about $40 for two, these pillows are at their lowest price in three months.
My one complaint about my air fryer is that it’s not big enough to cook a frozen pizza. Well, OK, one more critique: It also takes up a bit more room than I’d like. So I’ve got my eye on this one from Ninja this Prime Day. It’s roomy enough for a 12-inch pizza, flips up on its back (let it cool first!) to save counter space and can bake, toast, dehydrate and roast in addition to air frying. One recent shopper said it “could be the best air fryer [they’ve] ever had.”
Good deal: A quality, cook-everything air fryer that can handle pizzas for $150? Sold. It’s back down to its lowest price in three months, after selling for about $250 just over a week ago.
Still brushing manually? Give your choppers the five-star cleaning treatment with this bestseller, which, according to the brand, removes up to 10 times more plaque than using a regular old tooth scrubber. With 40,000 vibrations per minute, it’ll give your mouth that “just left the dentist” feeling and comes with enough replacement heads to last over two years. It was our pick for the best electric toothbrush we tested, so get it for 40% off.
“My Sonicare was getting old, and I wanted to find a replacement,” explained a plaque pro. “I’m a dental hygienist, and was hoping to find something more affordable to recommend to patients. This is it! I recommend it to patients on a daily basis. … The dentist asked whether I was getting support from the company. None, just a great brush at a fair price!”
Great time to buy: We haven’t seen this toothbrush discounted by this much in months, so if you’re in need of a new one, this is a deal worth snapping up.
If you’re shopping for a kid who loves Lego for the sheer joy of building, or one whose fandom seems to change every six months, this No. 1 bestseller is a safe — and adorable — bet. And this year’s edition is ridiculously charming: Santa and Mrs. Claus, tiny elves, a snowman, little vehicles and enough miniature holiday scenes to slowly build out an entire Christmas village across your coffee table. Over 30,000 have sold in the past month, so I’m not the only one ready for a little miniature cheer.
Good deal: These calendars tend to get pricier as October rolls around, so $10 off is a deal worth snapping up.
This two-piece set is one of Amazon’s top-selling tracksuits, with over 6,400 five-star ratings. The half-zip sweatshirt features a stylishly oversized, sailor-inspired neckline, while the bottoms are drawstring — both pieces are relaxed and offer plenty of stretch, constructed with a comfy mix of rayon, polyester and spandex. Wear together or as part of different outfits; either way, this twofer is a great add to your autumn fashion arsenal.
Good deal: Still on the fence? This matching set looks just like one of Oprah’s (way pricier) favorites from Spanx. This price is about as low as it gets at over 40% off.
“Sometimes all I want is a simple eye mask that cools my eye bags without any drama, and this is it,” says Senior Beauty Writer Marie Lodi. “However, the glittery gold design IS the kind of drama I like. With celebrity endorsements from the likes of Jessica Alba and Leona Lewis, these aesthetically pleasing masks are a must-have. Not to mention, they cost less than $1 a pair!”
“They target all of the usual suspects: puffy eyes, under-eye bags, dark circles, aging signs and dryness, all thanks to ingredients like sea moss, hydrolyzed vegetable protein and HA. Plus, unlike many other eye masks, these are unscented. Fans of the masks love how hydrated and refreshed their eyes look and feel after having them on for 20 minutes.”
Great time to buy: This discount saves you over 30% and brings the price down to just about the best we’ve seen all year.
Ding, dong — there’s a great deal at the door. This bundle, which contains a Ring battery doorbell and an Indoor Cam Plus, is ideal for shoring up your home security situation without spending a bundle. It’ll monitor the outside of your home as well as a targeted space inside (which is great for, say, checking in on your furbabies while away for the day). You’ll see everything in crisp 2K (which is pretty impressive for a security camera!), control and receive alerts from your phone and spend mere minutes on installation.
Great time to buy: This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen on this useful twosome (nearly 65% off!), so strike while the iron is hot.
Originally designed as workwear for tradesfolk, Carhartt styles have become massively popular in the last few years thanks to their simple, effective design and rugged durability. From celebs to politicians to regular Joes, everyone loves a Carhartt jacket — and this highly rated layer is the perfect example of why. Made of a medium-weight cotton-poly blend, it’s the ideal companion on chilly fall days, providing ample warmth without making things too toasty. In the winter, you can wear it under a heavier jacket, and its quarter-zip design makes it as stylish as it is functional.
Great time to buy: Carhartt is so popular that the brand’s styles don’t really need to go on sale to sell big, but right now you can get this jacket in black or gray at Amazon for the lowest price of the year.
Here’s a luxe layer for your lair: Yes, the brand known for its comfy boots also makes equally cozy blankets, and this one’s a bit oversized. It’s nice and plush on one side, with a shorter pile on the other, and when it’s not swaddling you, it makes a lovely piece of decor. “Super soft and warm,” swooned a shopper. “I have people in my house who must always have a blanket on, and this is the softest blanket ever, they say.”
Great time to buy: This 44% markdown drops the price to within a few dollars of its lowest in at least the past three months, so grab one for yourself and another as a holiday gift. (Prices vary between colors.)
Whether you’ve got pets or a shedding spouse to contend with, this 7-pound picker-upper was specifically designed to target all of that unsightly hair on your floors and furniture. Its strong suction adapts to whatever surface it’s being used on, whether that’s carpet or hardwood, and you can pop out the built-in handvac to target crumbs on the counter or dust bunnies on your stairs. Oh, and you’ll get up to 40 minutes of usage per charge.
Great time to buy: We haven’t seen this vacuum drop lower in price on Amazon in months.
Behold: the coveted Stanley cup. This 30-ounce tumbler features the brand’s FlowState three-position lid, which lets you rotate it to the straw opening, the spout opening or the closed position. The body of each Quencher is made from BPA-free stainless steel and can keep drinks cold for up to nine hours (40 hours if they’re iced). You’re getting a compact carry-along that’s also plenty roomy for your on-the-go hydration needs (it’ll fit nearly 4 full cups of liquid).
Great time to buy: This top-selling beverage vessel rarely goes on sale (it’s so popular it doesn’t really need to), but it’s marked down by over 50% in pink, the biggest discount we’ve seen in months. (It’s on sale in many other colors as well, though prices vary.)
Best Amazon deals: Style
From our style expert: Cozy, mid-weight fall staples have been sitting on retailer shelves since back-to-school season, which means they’re most likely to see steep discounts right now. That’s because brands need to make room for heavier winter staples like coats and boots. I’d suggest waiting on those heavier layers for now and instead taking a close look at mid-weight jackets (denim, leather, barn coats, shackets, etc.), jeans and sweaters, which will probably all be marked down this week. Browse more style deals here.
This good ol’ pair of straight-leg Levi’s is basically the Old Faithful of denim. Can you wear sneakers or ballet flats with this cut? Sure. Ankle boots underneath? Absolutely. A knee-high boot over? Why not? They’re also available in short, regular and long sizes. (One note: Many buyers say these run a bit big, so you may want to size down a smidge.)
“I bought several colors,” said one super-satisfied shopper. “These are so comfortable. I normally wear a 12 short, but in these I had to return and order 10 short. I love them … if you have a small waist, they may be big or gaping because they fit my apple shape. I’m 5 feet, 160 lbs. for reference. Length was good.”
Great time to buy: At $21, these classic Levi’s are at their lowest Amazon price in at least a year.
These may not be the fashion show, sneakerhead, influencer-hype shoes — but these are the get-it-done, stay-comfortable, slip-on workhorses that you wear all day long. They’re also a classic three-season shoe, perfect for getting up and around in the fall, spring and summer (though you’d probably appreciate something more heavy-duty for cold, wet winter). The signature Adidas Cloudfoam midsoles make them comfortable for anyone who is on their feet all day, while the adjustable elastic laces make them easy to put on and take off.

Best Amazon deals: Home
From our home expert: Thinking about getting a new vacuum? Now’s a great time to get prepared for holiday visitors and the house cleaning that hosting inevitably requires. I’m seeing discounts of $100 or more from all the big brands, like Shark, Bissell and Dyson — plus major deals on robot vacs. What I’d wait on are towels and sheets. While you can find some great deals on Prime Day, most brands will drop prices even further in January during “white sales.” Browse more home deals here.
You’ll save a rare $150 on this premium vacuum cleaner, which is at its lowest price we’ve seen since the last Prime Day. Plus, it converts from a cordless stick vacuum into a handheld, so really, you’re getting two vacs for the price of one.
The V10 is super lightweight (just 5.2 pounds), and it chugs along for up to 60 minutes before needing a charge. Clean hardwood floors, carpets, area rugs, stairs, sofas, mattresses, even the inside of your car with cordless convenience. You can choose between three cleaning modes — eco, medium and max — to maximize its energy efficiency. If you use the max level for the whole house, you’ll probably have to charge it a little more often.
Senior Deals Writer Britt Ross shares, “My sister is the real-life version of the Princess and the Pea — her standards are high! That’s why, when I used this blanket at her house and asked where it was from, I was surprised when she told me she’d gotten it at Amazon. It felt like heaven!
I’ve since purchased two: one for my bed and the other for my guest bedroom. The comforter is warm but lightweight — no night sweats. It’s incredibly soft, with a nice amount of fluff factor, thanks to box stitching that keeps the filling evenly distributed. Plus, it has loops attached to its sides, should you want to attach it to a duvet cover (I do this in the winter when I want a bit more coverage). To clean it, just toss it into the washer and dryer — mine still looks and feels just as sublime as the day I got it. All for just $30? Yeah, you’ll probably want to buy more than one as well.”

Best Amazon deals: Kitchen
From our kitchen expert: If you ask me, fall is the best time to be in the kitchen; it’s cool enough to turn the oven on, and we’re not yet dealing with holiday-meal-prep stress. Now is a smart time to stock up on smaller kitchen appliances, like air fryers, food processors and immersion blenders for less. (When it comes to larger appliances, like refrigerators and dishwashers, you’ll want to wait until Black Friday if you can.) Need some new cookware? You can also find deals on pots, pans and knife sets, but make sure the discounts are really substantial if you’re going to purchase now, as practically every big brand will have serious sales come November. Browse more kitchen deals here.
The morning grind doesn’t have to be taken quite so literally — as in, having to grind your own coffee beans. Mornings are hectic enough! With this compact Keurig, you’ll be able to enjoy a freshly brewed cup of joe, no filters or coffee grinders required. Fill the reservoir with water, pop in the K-Cup of your choice, select the size of your cup and presto: Java will appear in your mug in under a minute.
Great time to buy: At 45% off, this price matches its lowest of 2026.
Many culinary pros recommend stainless steel cookware, and to ensure you have ample space, opt for a larger diameter, like this 12-inch beauty from our favorite brand. “There wasn’t much not to like about the Made In Stainless Steel Pan!” says our stainless steel skillet tester. “It maneuvered well from the range to the oven and felt balanced while I seared chicken thighs, sautéed onions and deglazed the pan. I also really enjoyed the handle … because it stayed cool on the stove.”
The pan is made from five layers of bonded metal, including aluminum for better heat distribution and retention. According to our tester, that construction helps it produce a deep golden-brown sear, perform well at high temperatures and hold up for years.
Great time to buy: Is this price a bit steep for a single pan? Yes, but stainless steel is also much more durable than, say, nonstick pans, so you won’t have to replace it anytime soon, if at all. This is also the best price we’ve seen since July.

Best Amazon deals: Tech
From our tech expert: If you’ve had a piece of Amazon tech on your to-buy list for a while, Prime Day is one of the best times of year to buy it — devices like the Fire TV Stick, Kindle, Echo and Eero tend to see some of their biggest discounts. And with holiday travel right around the corner, I’d look for deals on travel tech and accessories — portable chargers, AirTags, charging cables and noise-cancelling headphones are much cheaper on sale than at the airport when you realize you need them. Laptops and TVs can absolutely be worth buying too, but check the price history — with Black Friday less than two months away, you don’t need to jump on a mediocre deal. Browse more tech deals here.
The Quiet Comfort series of headphones from Bose has a well-deserved reputation for delivering the best noise cancellation. If you’re traveling, trying to get some work done in a noisy environment or just want to turn off the clamor of the world at large, these should be on your list. This model is a couple of years old but still packs plenty of high-end features, including multi-point connections that let you switch between devices and an Awareness mode that lets you listen to your music while hearing the world around you.
Prefer a smaller tablet over a bulky laptop? This one’s within a dollar of its best price ever. Senior Writer Chris McGraw says, “Think this is just a slightly larger version of your phone? Think again. With a 3:2 aspect ratio compared to the iPhone’s 2:1, the iPad Mini is much wider and, for those who use their tablets to read, can fit more text and feels more like a book or magazine in your hand. Speaking of fitting in your hand, it’s much less cumbersome than the full-size iPad, making it great for travel or slipping into a backpack for your commute.”

Best Amazon deals: Beauty
From our beauty expert: Prime Day is officially my cue to have my fall beauty routine prepped and ready to go, ’cause once my air conditioner goes into hibernation, I just know my skin is going to be in trouble. On that note, my advice is to grab a good barrier-repair serum and some rich eye cream while it’s on sale. Also, keep an eye on Amazon’s Premium Beauty shop, where brands that rarely go on sale tend to show up with impressive discounts — some even up to 30%! Browse more beauty deals here.
These mega-popular dual-textured facial toner pads are among the top products we’ve found for clearing out clogged pores, evening skin tone and promoting a healthy, clean glow. Senior Editor Izabella Zaydenberg is a fan. “I’ve bought these four times — I think it’s the most I’ve ever repurchased any skin care product,” she says. “Unfortunately, I don’t think I can live without them: I ran out a few days ago, and my blackheads (which these pads nearly entirely eradicated) decided to come back with a vengeance.” No wonder they’re Amazon top-sellers: Each pad gently exfoliates your skin with AHA lactic acid and BHA salicylic acid, leaving your skin truly glass-like.
Great time to buy: We haven’t seen this popular beauty buy on sale in a long time, so this rare deal is well worth picking up if it’s a staple in your skincare routine.
EltaMD is one of the rare sunscreen brands that convinced us daily sunscreen use doesn’t have to mean stinging eyes, chalky residue or a skin-suffocating oil slick. For Prime Day, one of the brands most versatile picks has dropped to its lowest price of the year, making this premium pick a whole lot more tempting.
Think of it as two morning steps in one: The lightweight formula moisturizes with hyaluronic acid while delivering broad-spectrum SPF 40 protection, without the heavy feel you might expect from a hydrating sunscreen. It’s noncomedogenic, works for dry, normal and combination skin and can be worn alone or under makeup. No wonder it’s the No. 1 dermatologist-recommended professional sunscreen brand — this is the kind of easy, wearable formula that makes daily SPF easier to stick with. If you prefer tinted, they’ve got that too.
Great time to buy: This is the lowest price we’ve seen on this bottle all year, so if you’re already a fan of the brand, this is the time to stock up — and if you’ve been Elta-curious, it’s a particularly inexpensive way in.
