Update 10/10/24: Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days has officially ended. Fortunately, some of the best deals that we’ve rounded up here are still available, though a few have slightly lower — but still significant! — discounts. We’re not sure how much time is remaining before these bargains end though, so if you want to catch up with some shopping, you better do it now.
Amazon’s second Prime event this year, Prime Big Deal Days, has come and gone. We saw some huge markdowns, flash deals, and lots of discounts and offers on various gear, from home decor and furniture to toys, games, and tools. However, if you missed the shopping event for any reason, the good news is that some of the best deals remain available.
Some brands that Amazon specifically called out include LEGO, Squishmallows, Disney, Amazon Essentials, NEST New York, Lenox, Lodge, and many more. That spans toys to home decor and winter fashion. Alongside the event, Amazon shared Holiday Gift Guides, complete with trending and on-sale items to help you find what you were looking for. Of course, don’t forget our guides here at Digital Trends, especially on all of the best deals we’ve found.

Sure, it’s not bleeding edge and Samsung has come out with a few newer models since, but the S6 Lite is definitely still capable. Take note that this particular bundle includes the S-Pen, a digital stylus allowing you to sketch, draw, and create to your heart’s content, just like you’re using a pad of paper.

Oura Ring 3 (Silver) — $299 $349 14% off
The Oura Ring 3 is a fitness tracker that doesn’t take over your arm like a watch-like one would. What else sets is apart from the typical health and activity trackers? According to our Oura Ring 3 review, it is its “beautiful design, high-quality build, informative app, good battery life, and overall simplicity.” Fun note: The reviewer has worn the ring for three years, so this isn’t just a bit, but a lived-in review.
Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum — $349 $470 26% off
Unfortunately, you really can’t skirt by with just a smart vac. The robust and versatile Dyson V8, full with HEPA filtration, is around to take care of the rest though. Dyson products are generally expensive, however, so be sure to pick up Dyson deals like this one when you can.
LG 77-inch M3 Wireless OLED Evo — $3,978 $5,000 20% off
One of our favorite Big Deal Days OLED TV deals, this limited time offering on the wireless M3 OLED Evo is a great opportunity to reduce wire clutter in your theater setup. Instead of having to connect content inputs to the TV, you can instead put them into an out-of-the-way box. Our LG M3 Wireless OLED review mentions that these wireless connections are with “no added compression or pixelization.”
The best Prime Deals to shop now
Various PS5 Games — From $20
If you have a PS5 console, this is a reminder that you can always “upgrade” it by grabbing more games. And right now we’re seeing various games get the discount treatment, with games like Sonic Frontiers hitting $20 and the delightfully interesting Stray hitting $22. There are, however, pages and pages of discounted games right now. So, be sure to either browse or look for the titles missing from your ultimate collection. Not all are super low in price (Elden Ring, for example, is on sale but nowhere near the $20 mark) so a bit of buyers strategy will go a long way when shopping this sale.
LEGO Bestsellers — 20% off or more
We’re finding various sets from Lego’s bestsellers on sale right now, including the iconic house from Up, complete with balloons. While you can’t expect to find every bestseller on discount at the moment, you will have a good selection available, with something from every interest and difficult level on offer. We expect the deals in this section to rotate from the start of Prime Day deals to the end of Prime Day deals, so if you haven’t checked in on them in awhile, it is worth it to check again.
The best Prime Deals under $100
Dominion (2nd Edition) — $34 $50 32% off
Dominion is one of those lovely early deckbuilding boardgames that influenced the genre, including video games like Slay the Spire. This deal, one of our favorite Big Deal Days board game deals, puts the game at an accessible price for new audiences.
TP-Link Tapo MagCam 2K Wire-Free Security Camera — $70 $120 42% Off
While we may associate TP-Link with some of the best routers around, they’ve also dabbled in the home security space with a camera that offers convenience and (with this deal) affordable pricing. The big things to know about TP-Link’s Tapo is its 2K resolution imagery, 150 degree viewframe, and wireless operation that won’t force you to feed wires from your home to it to operate. You’ll also appreciate its weather resistance, lengthy battery life of up to 300 days (you can buy a solar panel for it, too, if you like), and color night vision. If you’ve been curious about home security cams but were turned off by hubs, 10-piece systems, complicated wiring, and high prices then this is the cam for you. Don’t forget to clip that $10 off on-page coupon for the extra discount.
Apple AirTag 4-Pack — $80 $99 19% Off
The Apple AirTag is a small location tracker that you can use to find whatever you need most — like your keys. With a simple one-tap easy setup you can track your devices and gear using the Apple Find My app. Play a sound on the built-in speaker to help locate it. Or, just ask Siri for assistance. Precision location finding thanks to Wideband technology ensures you’ll always be led right to where the tag is. This deal nets you a pack of four for a great price. If you want to learn more about them be sure to check out Digital Trends’ Apple AirTag review.
Bissell Little Green Carpet Cleaner — $100 $124 19% Off
The big deal with Bissell’s Little Green is that it is compact, easy to move, and powerful. Plus, it comes with HydroRinse tools to tackle coffee, wine, and other similar stains. You can use it to deal with messes in your car, on your carpet, and anywhere that has tough-to-remove pet hairs. Then, when you’re done, you can store it in a cabinet or under the kitchen sink without taking up closet space or a wall-mount area like you would with a traditional vacuum. The version that this deal covers is the wired version, but you should know that there is a wireless version available as well.
Dewalt 20-volt Max Cordless Drill and Driver Set — $99 $179 45% Off
If you’re buying a new TV you want to mount, monitor arms, or any other products that require drilling and screwing, this deal is for you. What it provides is a powerful drill/driver (the “driver” here means the same as it does in screwdriver) as well as a pair of batteries and a charger for them. What’s more is that this kit will get you set to get more items in the DeWalt 40V line (there are hundreds) that don’t come with batteries. In other words, this is an excellent way to get your power tool collection started and the most convenient way to get mounts installed.
The best Prime Deals under $500
Callaway Golf 300 Pro Laser Rangefinder — $200 $300 33% Off
If you’re a golfer and don’t have a range finder yet, or just want to upgrade to one with a laser, check this out. It uses a laser for very accurate slope calculations on the green, though there is also a ‘slope off’ switch to make it tournament legal. When not checking the slopes, you can measure ranges between 5 and 1,000 yards, snap onto a pin under 300 yards away, and then plop it on your cart with its extra strong magnet. Its also worth nothing that this has a nicely texture grip on the top and bottom to ensure a secure hold even with sweaty or wet hands.
Apple Watch Se 2 (GPS, 40mm) — $180 $249 28% off
Perhaps one of the best deals in our roundup of Apple Watch Big Day Deals, if you’re willing to get the SE 2 in the ‘Starlight’ coloration (seen above) you can get it for one of the lowest prices available. Our Apple Watch SE 2 review praises the watch for its simplicity as well as its comfort as an all day (and night) wear.
Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C — $190 $249 24% Off
The Apple AirPods Pro 2 are the best wireless earbuds you can get if you’re an iPhone and iPad user. Especially when they, like with the ones in this deal, have USB-C charging. They are convenient to use with your iPhone, work with the Find My feature, and have an impressive adaptive transparency feature that tunes outside noises to a tolerable level. Our Apple AirPods Pro 2 review covers the new charging in depth, with highlights including that the new case has added dust resistance (in addition to water resistance) and our reviewer notes that you can also charge the case by connecting it to an iPhone, such as the iPhone 15.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ Plus 11-inch 128GB — $210 $270 22% Off
If you want a decent tablet that starts out affordable and still gets a discount on top of that, this is the tablet deal to look at right now. It has a 1920 x 1200p 11-inch screen with a 90Hz refresh rate and, for the version that comes with this deal, 128GB of storage space, enough to hold a ton of photos, videos, and games. Plus, you’ll like using streaming apps due to its quad speaker design. Overall, this is an enduring favorite, especially for those of you that aren’t likely to get an iPad.
Amazon Fire TV 50-inch 4-Series 4K UHD Smart TV —$280 $450 38% Off
This is Amazon’s answer to the smart streaming TV on a budget. The 4-Series version of the Fire TV is considered the best for everyday use. It doesn’t have extras like QLED screen tech that you might see on the Omni QLED version but has a much better picture than the 2-Series. With a 4K resolution, 50-inches of screen, HDR 10, and easy access to Fire TV features like Alexa voice control, this is the perfect TV for an average family to gather around.
Apple AirPods Max — $395 $549 28% off
One of the hottest finds among our Big Deal Days headphones deals coverage, the Apple AirPods Max at 27% off represent big savings and the best price Amazon has given them in quite awhile. As most iPhone users would agree, our Apple AirPods Max review called these “darn-near perfect” headphones.
Shark AI Ultra Voice Control Robot Vacuum — $435 $599 27% Off
Cleaning is an endless chore but with a robot vacuum, you can cut down on how much time you spend doing it. That’s especially true of an advanced system like Shark’s AI Ultra Voice Control smart vacuum. It uses intelligent navigation to move around the home, without getting stuck or running over objects. More importantly, it features a 60-day cleaning capacity with a self-empty base. That means it will return to its base between cleanings, empty the dustbin, and charge. Plus, hands-free voice controls through Alexa or Google Assistant allow you to schedule cleanings, activate the vacuum and more. This deal drops the price to a super-enticing low.

Hisense 75-inch ULED 4K Smart Fire TV — $600 $648 7% Off
For a bigger TV experience, take a look at Hisense’s 75-inch ULED. Naturally, at this size, the TV is 4K but you should also know that it has motion rate 240, both HDR 10 and HDR 10 Plus, and easy Bluetooth connectivity for your headphones for TV watching when you don’t want to make a sound. As an aside, if you were curious what type of TV this is, as “ULED” isn’t common like QLED or OLED, you should know that this is classified as a QLED, with the ULED being a color, contrast, brightness, and motion boosting tech from Hisense.
Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme — $690 $760 9% Off
If you haven’t yet invested in the world of handheld PC gaming — a la Steam Deck — then this is a great entry point. In our Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme review, gaming expert Jacob Roach praised its solid performance, acceptable battery life, beautiful screen, and widespread PC gaming support. He did have a few qualms with it, particularly because the high-performance mode drains the battery fast, and Windows on a handheld has a lot of quirks. But honestly, this is one of the better gaming handhelds out there, besides the Steam Deck. The current Amazon deal brings the price down to a more reasonable range, too.
Sony Bravia Theater Bar 9 (Renewed) — $898 $1,098 18% Off
It should be a given that if you want a high tier home theater experience you’re going to need one of the best soundbars (or some sort of speakers) on top of a great TV or projector. However, the top-end products in this category can be rather expensive. This renewed version of the Sony Bravia Theater Bar 9 is no cheap piece, either, but you’re getting a good deal on it. And, considering it is made to last, having someone else having used it for a bit before you get your hands on it is no huge deal. Our Sony Bravia Theater Bar 9 review goes into the extensive details that you’d want before buying something like this, but you’ll especially want to note that the bar is simple and streamlined to use, with our reviewer saying that “Everything about it — from its design to its features — is a simplification of the HT-A7000.” As a result, it has a nice look, but make sure the connections and features you want are still present.
Samsung 75-inch QN90C Neo QLED 4K TV — $1,688 $2,998 44% off
Considered to be one of the best QLED TVs, the QN90C is a premium choice for your home. Considered a “short-list TV for anyone who values premium picture quality” by our reviewer in our Samsung Neo QLED QN90C review, it is an excellent buy at 44% off.
When is Amazon Prime Big Deal days 2024?
Amazon Prime Big Deal days officially start on October 8th and go until October 9th. This isn’t, however, the full story. There are going to be deals as well as competitor deals. While Amazon sort of rules the market, and many people will hold out to see what Amazon does before making a big purchase, there’s nothing stopping manufacturers and retailers from throwing their hat in the ring, too. Expect “Early Halloween Deals” and “Early October Savings” sales to pop up now that October has started. Plus, even on Amazon, individual retailers may decide to mark sales items in their stores ahead of other deals.
We’ll be covering all of the items relevant to you during this time, so be sure to bookmark the page. We’re also rolling out assessments of particular categories of deals, such as Prime Big Deal Days for Dell products, as the event approaches, so keep your eyes peeled on the site for the latest.
What kind of discounts can we expect from Prime Big Deal Days in October?
Amazon has shared that there will be deals on toys, Halloween costumes, and accessories — just in time for the holiday — and savings on a wide variety of essentials from home goods to apparel. If you’re looking to save on some new outfits, you can enjoy up to 40% off winter fashion from Amazon Essentials. But here’s the thing, you don’t have to wait until October to start saving. Amazon already has a smattering of .
For example, you can save up to 55% off select Amazon devices. Or, how about 40% off on Carnival cruises? We’re barely scratching the surface here so I highly recommend you take a look at some of those Prime deals for yourself.
What is Amazon Prime Big Deal Days?
Similar to Prime Day, but not Prime Day, Amazon’s Big Deal Days is an exclusive and seasonal event just before the holidays. It’s your chance to shop for anything you might have missed out on earlier in the year or to help prepare for the holiday season. It’s also a great time to snag a deal on something you’ve been waiting to buy, or something you’ve planned to grab but never did.
During last year’s event, it lasted for two days, just like this year. The deals were steep and extravagant, with rotating deals available throughout those two days. It was honestly one of the best times to shop last year, even with Black Friday and Cyber Monday hot on its heels in November.
Tips for finding the best deals
Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event inhabits an awkward space — it’s just over a month away from Black Friday and Cyber Monday. That means you may want to be strategic in your purchasing. Items you want or need now (think replacement laptops, a tablet that doesn’t have a broken screen, and other important things like that) are an obvious pickup, but what about other deals? For Amazon-affiliated products (think Fire TVs, Alexa devices, etc.) you can expect great prices from any deals offered since this is their event. To get the best deals during the event from other brands, go in with a strategy. List what you want a price you’re willing to pay for it. Then, see if it goes on sale during the event. If it doesn’t, check our guides for vetted competitors that might have a price closer to what you want. However, if you don’t find anything now, it is okay. You can always wait for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Speaking again to the notion of vetted products, note that we’re zeroing in on a large number of things that we have personal experience with. You’ll see links to our reviews as well as key pieces of info from them throughout our writeups when they’re items that we’ve spent a lot of time with. Key terms and jargon — Amazon product titles are filled with keywords, after all — will also be explained to help you get the best idea of what a product does, alongside context that compares the items to others in the space.
Finally, note that there is some luck to finding the best deals. Sometimes an item will sell “too well” at the price it gets for this event and will have a higher price during the next event. Other times, the price lowers the closer we get to November. As the stock adage goes, you can’t time the market. Instead, focus on buying items that you want at a price that feels good to you.
How We Chose these Amazon Prime Day Deals
With Amazon having such a massive selection of items, it can be nearly impossible to pick up the best deals out of all the possibilities. That’s why we rely heavily on our own experience and tools to check things like historical pricing and whether similar items offer the same or better value. It’s a balancing act that does its best to ensure that you’re always getting the best and cheapest deal for whatever you’re buying. Not to mention that we try to also include deals that aren’t specifically Amazon Prime deals so that deals are more accessible and aren’t locked behind a membership.
Do I need to be an Amazon Prime member to participate?
Not for all the discounts, but the best ones will be exclusive to Amazon Prime Members. You’ll definitely want to sign up ahead of October if you’re not already an active member. The good news is you can utilize a free trial, but only if you’re a new customer. As long as you , you’ll get 30 days free of Prime access, which includes the Prime Big Deal Days event.
