Refresh
I gave myself a bad bout of runner’s knee earlier this summer and one of the exercises my physical therapist recommended I do are hamstring stretches. Enter the URBNFit Pilates Ring. It’s great for any mat-based exercises where you need to balance yourself and it’s also great for hamstring stretches. It’s now on sale for just $10! (I bought it for $19, so this is pretty much a no-brainer for anyone looking for workouts beyond weights and cardio). Heads up, I recently purchased the OPTP Strap for $15 (opens in new tab) and I tend to like this a bit better, but it’s not on sale at the moment, so I still highly recommend the URBNFit.
Fall weather is here and pretty soon folks will be breaking out their winter apparel. If you need a fall/winter wardrobe refresh, Amazon is taking up to 60% off Champion men’s and women’s apparel with deals from $6. It’s one of the most aggressive discounts I’ve seen (Amazon usually takes 40% off during major holidays). The sale includes hoodies, long sleeve tees, jogger pants, fleece sweaters, and more.
The HP Stream is a low-cost laptop meant for young students or basic Web-based tasks like checking e-mail or streaming music. It’s Microsoft’s answer to the Chromebook. When it’s on sale, the HP Stream usually goes for $199 or $189. Today, Amazon has it on sale for an all-time price low of $149. Remember, this is a low-budget machine, so it’s not meant for heavy tasks. It features an 11-inch 1366 x 768 LCD, Celeron N4020 CPU, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB SSD.
Now this is the kind of discount I’m talking about! Amazon is knocking a juicy $900 off the Zotac GeForce RTX 3090 Ti. It’s essentially Zotac’s take on the best-in-class Nvidia GeForce 3090 Ti graphics card. This card can run the latest and greatest games at UHD resolutions and high frame rates. Alternatively, you could use it for demanding productivity work, ranging from graphic design to animation. While it’s no longer the newest card on the market, it’s still one of the most powerful components you can buy. If you have your heart set on an RTX 4090, make sure to check out our RTX 4090 restock tracker.
LG 48″ A1 4K OLED TV: $669 $646 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
Behold what is now the least-expensive OLED TV on the market — the $646 LG A1 48-inch 4K OLED. I’ve been tracking OLED TV deals for what feels like ages and I think this is rock bottom for 2022. I’ll go out on a limb and say we won’t see a $599 OLED this Black Friday. So if you want this TV, now is the time to buy. That said, if you want a larger 55- or 65-inch OLED — then I advise you wait till Black Friday. I think retailers will offer more sub-$999 OLEDs in the 55-inch range next month, which will make for some good holiday shopping.
When it comes to mattress sales, we typically recommend buying direct from mattress manufacturers. That’s because they tend to offer great freebies like free pillows, bed sheets, or mattress protectors that a retailer like Amazon typically won’t offer. However, Amazon is really bringing it this Prime Day with some aggressive mattress discounts. For instance, you can get the Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress (queen) for just $279 ($90 off). The last time we saw this price was back in February during Presidents’ Day. It didn’t even hit this price on Black Friday 2021. It’s an incredible price for a queen size bed. (Check out our Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam mattress review for our full thoughts on this bed).
Ring Video Doorbell Wired: $64 $39 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
Ring Video Doorbell Wired w/ Chime: $89 $69 @ Amazon
Ring’s cheapest video doorbell is is on sale for just $39. That’s a new, all-time price low for this budget doorbell. Even better, the Ring Video Doorbell w/ Chime is on sale for $69. I don’t think either of these will be cheaper on Black Friday. In fact, the bundle is on sale for the first time ever (it’s usually not on sale during holidays). It features a 1080p camera and two-way talk. You’ll want to pick up the chime because this doorbell doesn’t work with existing chimes.
I admit, this isn’t the sexiest Prime Day deal out there, but if you have kids/students in your household — there’s no way this will be cheaper next month. You can now get a full year subscription of MS 365 Family for $92 and you’ll get a $50 Amazon gift card with your purchase. If you factor in the free $50 GC, you’re basically getting Microsoft’s suite for just $42. Heads up, this deal has a countdown clock, which means it’ll end today!
Chances are you might be familiar with this coffee machine. That’s because the Keurig K-Mini is on sale for every major holiday. It’s a great, compact machine that holds a spot in our list of the best Keurig coffee makers. However, it’s only been this cheap a few times in the past. (The last time was Black Friday 2021). What’s extra cool about today’s deal is that it’s on sale for $49 in most colors. Usually, when it’s been this cheap it’s only been for select colors. So I suggest you buy this now at $49 in the color that you want, rather than waiting for Black Friday when only select colors may be this cheap.
The holidays wouldn’t be the same without toy deals and while Black Friday is technically still a few weeks out — Amazon has some pretty sweet Lego deals you can get now. Prime members can get sets on sale from $8.49. The sale includes Lego Marvel, Super Mario Bros., Minecraft, and more.
Remember that 55-inch Omni 4K Fire TV that Amazon was promising it’d sell for $109? Well, it sold out in seconds. I knew this would happen and Amazon isn’t the only retailer to use the old “limited doorbuster” tactic to get attention, but it would’ve been nice if they treated their Prime members to more stock of this deal. But not all hope is lost. There are a lot of great TVs on sale for Prime Day — whether you want a premium set or a low-budget 4K TV. TVs are currently on sale from $89. As for that 55-inch TV for $109….the product page shows that the wait list is full (opens in new tab) (look up top above the “regular price”), but if you want to take your chances, you might want to check that page periodically throughout the day.
I love a good gift card deal and this Prime Day, Amazon is offering quite a few good deals. For a limited time, purchase a $50 Amazon, Panera, Gap, DoorDash, OC Choice, or Fanatics gift card and you’ll get a free $10 credit. There are a few caveats to watch out for. First, you have to purchase at least a $50 gift card in a single order by end of today (October 12). In addition, to qualify for the $10 freebie, you must NOT have purchased an Amazon gift card in the last 12 months. (If you’re like me and don’t remember just sign into your Prime account, click the above link, and the page will show you the deals you qualify for). Remember to use the applicable coupon for each deal/gift card. (They’re all listed on the Amazon page).
Looking for a pair of the best cheap wireless earbuds? These are our favorites, and they’ve gotten even cheaper for October Prime Day. The 1More PistonBuds Pro are $39 at Amazon (opens in new tab), and they have awesome ANC, great sound quality and a sleek design.
As we noted in our 1More PistonBuds Pro review, the buds aren’t the best on calls. But if music is your main priority, then the PistonBuds Pro will do you proud.
Want hands-free Alexa that travels with you? Try out the Echo Frames. This might be the only Alexa compatible device that you wear on your face — you can take phone calls, listen to music, and more with this pair of glasses.
The battery life on the Echo Frames is decent, too. With regular use, you’ll get about 14 hours of power from these specs. And you can turn them upside-down to put them into low power mode when you’re not using them. The Echo Frames are $109 at Amazon (opens in new tab) right now for Prime members.
Sometimes a really good deal doesn’t need to slice the price of super-expensive devices, rather it could provide a discount on an already cheap bit of kit making it an absolute steal. Case in point: the Acer 512 Chromebook is on sale for $79 at Amazon (opens in new tab). That’s a saving of $120, which makes this Chromebook a ridiculous bargain.
Now Acer’s Chromebook isn’t gong to blow you away with powerful specs or a slick design. But at $79, it’s a fine machine for your kids to use or to take on a trip where the going can be touch and rough and unfriendly for say the best Windows 11 laptops or a MacBook Air M2.
Want to enjoy one of the best streaming devices out there? But also want to save a cool $70? Then check out this Apple TV deal. Right now the Apple TV 4K is on sale for $109 at Amazon (opens in new tab).
That’s the version with 32GB of onboard memory, so at the entry level but more than enough for you to get started with Apple’s TV streaming service. And with a slick remote and easy set-up, as well as integration with the likes of Apple Arcade, the Appel TV 4K is well worth considering.
Want to update your baking utensils? You can now get this set of 6 Magnetic Measuring Spoons by YellRin for just $12 (opens in new tab), thanks to Amazon Prime Day.
Measuring spoons can be found in every keen baker’s kitchen drawers. The problem is they’re all too easy to lose — before you know it, you’re in the middle of mixing up cake batter, and there’s no way to measure out your vanilla extract. Luckily, with this set of Magnetic Measuring Spoons, you never need worry about lost spoons again. They’re stackable and stick together for storage. You get six spoons in the set, including 1/8 tsp, 1/4 tsp, 1/2 tsp, 1 tsp, 1/2 Tbsp and 1 Tbsp, and each can measure out both dry and liquid ingredients. With this deal, they’re available in plain black or a multi-colored option, and at $12, measuring spoons won’t come much cheaper.
If you want to whip up your own morning smoothies, the Ninja NJ601AMZ Professional Blender has just been reduced to $64 (opens in new tab)for Amazon Prime Day — that’s its lowest price ever.
If you’re new to blenders, the Ninja NJ601AMZ is a good entry-level model to get you started. It has three speeds to choose from as well as a pulse setting, and with a 1000 watt motor, it will power through anything, from crushing ice to pureeing baby food. The 72 oz pitcher will give you ample capacity, plus it’s dishwasher safe for ease of cleaning. There’s a recipe guide included for inspiration as well. It’s currently on sale for the lowest price it’s ever been, so move quickly if you want one.
Tired of your cat waking you at the crack of dawn? The PETLIBRO Automatic Pet Feeder can help, and it has just been reduced to $46 (opens in new tab) for Amazon Prime Day.
We all love our cats like family, but there are admittedly some habits we’d rather change — particularly being woken up first thing in the morning for the breakfast call, or interrupted in our afternoon meetings for dinner. Feeding our pets can interrupt the day, but with an automatic feeder, like the PETLIBRO, this becomes an issue of the past. The PETLIBRO holds up to four liters of kibble, which equates to about 16 days of food for a cat. It can be programmed to dispense 1-4 meals a day with up to 9 portion settings per meal. Automatic feeders, such as this, are particularly useful if you plan to travel for the day, and they can suit small dogs as well. And at just $46, automatic feeders won’t get much cheaper than this, so take advantage while you can.
- Kitchenaid Artisan Mini Plus 3.5-Qt. Tilt-Head Stand Mixer:
$379$259 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
If you’ve always wanted an iconic KitchenAid stand mixer, but you lack the counter space, you can now get the Kitchenaid Artisan Mini Plus 3.5-Qt. Tilt-Head Stand Mixer for just $259 (opens in new tab) this Amazon Prime Day.
With 10 speeds to choose from, and a beater as well as dough hook and wire whisk included, you can whip up all kinds of bakes with ease. And thanks to the smaller 3.5 quart capacity, it will take up minimal countertop space in the process. This deal covers some of the favourite KitchenAid colors as well, including Empire Red, Matte White and Ice. With $120 off, stock’s not likely to last, so get one while you can. It’s so good, it made the list as one of the best KitchenAid stand mixers.
This is an Amazon sale, so naturally Amazon’s own tech, like the Echo Show 5 with Smart Plug, now $34 (opens in new tab), is seeing a massive discount.
This small second-gen Echo Show 5 is on our list of the best smart displays as ideal for kids or adding to an existing smart home set-up as a bed-side assistant. You can control your other smart home devices, make calls, or listen or watch streaming content through the 5.5-inch display. This bundle also comes with a smart plug so you can expand your device and appliance automation even further.
If you have a camera, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck or something else in need of extra storage space, then you get a whole lot more room with this SanDisk 512GB microSD card, reduced to $43 at Amazon (opens in new tab).
Assuming your device has the requisite slot, you can fill this card up with games, photos or whatever else and easily pull it out again to transfer your data to other devices. SanDisk promises 120 megabytes-per-second transfer speeds too, so you shouldn’t be waiting around too long when you’re exporting or copy/pasting your stuff.
Our favorite Android phone right now, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, is $899 right now (opens in new tab), which is a seriously impressive deal for how much phone you get.
Samsung gave the Galaxy S22 Ultra a large and bright 6.8-inch display, but on top of that four rear cameras, including two telephoto lenses, and an integrated stylus for writing, drawing and remote-controlling the S22 Ultra. With this much stuff, it’s no wonder it’s at the top of our best Android phones guide.
For the first time ever on Amazon, the Peloton Bike is 15% off (opens in new tab), meaning if you’ve been curious to try out this popular fitness machine, you can do so for cheaper than you can from Peloton’s own store.
At its core, the Peloton Bike is a stationary exercise bike like you’ve likely come across before. But when you add in the touch screen, interactive classes, and the compact, high-quality design, you can see why Peloton users keep crowing about how good these are.
The year in gaming started off very strong with a glut of AAA titles releasing in early 2022, and one of the most popular was definitely PlayStation exclusive Horizon Forbidden West. If you missed out at launch, good news, Horizon Forbidden West is on sale for $49 at Amazon (opens in new tab), that’s a $20 discount.
The sequel to 2017’s Horizon Zero Dawn, in Forbidden West protagonist Aloy ventures to new lands and encounters a fresh army of deadly robot machines. In our review we called it “an exceptionally crafted sequel, delivering a thrilling open-world experience that fans of the original game will love.” If you just recently got lucky during a PS5 restock, then you’ll want to circle back to this one for sure.
Here’s a sizeable discount on a solid television from Hisense. For Prime Day, the Hisense 65″ U7G QLED 4K TV on sale for $699 at Amazon (opens in new tab). That’s a saving of $400 compared to its full retail price of $1,099.
In our Hisense U7G TV review we labeled it a “solid all-around TV, with good brightness and color, at a competitive price.” We were particularly impressed with the low lag time that makes it a great pick for gamers on a slightly tighter budget. Although the overactive motion smoothing and lack of detail in dark scenes weren’t quite so appreciated. Nevertheless, this is a great midrange pick especially at such a heavily discounted price.
One of our favorite deals from the first day of Prime Day October 2022 is going strong as we enter day two. There’s still time to score an Apple MacBook Air M1 on sale for $799 at Amazon (opens in new tab), that’s a sizeable $200 discount on a laptop that still compete with the best Window machines around.
While this 2020 model MacBook Air is no longer the flagship — the MacBook Air M2 launched earlier this year — it remains a very compelling pick thanks to its notch-free display, excellent battery life and performance (the M1 chip is no slouch) and crisp 13-inch Retina display. As we said in our MacBook Air M1 review this machine “has the speed and battery life to beat the best PCs” and that remains true in 2022.
Good morning! Welcome back to the Tom’s Guide Prime Early Access Sale live blog. As we enter day two of Amazon’s second Prime Day of 2022, there are still plenty of excellent deals and offers available. And the chance to score 20% off GrubHub orders using the code “PRIME20” (opens in new tab) at checkout definitely qualifies as the latter.
You’ll need a GrubHub Plus membership to take advantage of this offer, but that shouldn’t be a problem as it comes with your Amazon Prime subscription (it’s one of the most overlooked Prime membership benefits). The only downside to this deal is deciding what to order from the hundreds of available restaurants on Grubhub.
Google’s been a very busy company lately, making phones, watches and various smart devices. But don’t forget about the Pixel Buds Pro, the earbuds Google released earlier this year.
Amazon hasn’t. The Pixel Buds Pro are currently available at a $48 discount (opens in new tab), allowing you to snap up a pair for $151. In our Pixel Buds Pro review, we praised these wireless earbuds for being the first to offer stellar Google Assistant integration with excellent active noise cancellation features.
Google Pixel Buds Pro: was $199 now $151 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
The Google Pixel 7 may be the only Google device people want to talk about these days, but the Pixel 6a released over the summer is a pretty compelling buy in its own right. And that’s more true than ever, with Amazon taking $120 off the cost of the Pixel 6a (opens in new tab).
It may not feature the new Tensor G2 chipset found in the new Pixel 7, but the Pixel 6a does run on Google’s original Tensor silicon. That chip powers the kind of machine learning-driven experiences you won’t find on other phones — certainly not one that costs less than $400, thanks to this discounted price.
Pixel phones typically rank among the best camera phones, and the Pixel 6a is no exception. So you’re not only getting a great price on a new phone, you’re getting our favorite budget picture taker.
Google Pixel 6a: was $449 now $329 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
Anycubic has a reputation for building rather inexpensive SLA-style 3D printers — and that’s good since top SLA printers can cost thousands of dollars. Novices can instead turn to cheaper devices like the Anycubic Photon M3 and get an entry-level resin 3D printer that’s good for learning the ropes about this particular type of 3D printing.
The Photon M3 is especially appealing for beginners, because it costs less than $400. For October Prime Day, that cost is dropping even further, with the Photon M3 now available for $255 (opens in new tab), a savings of $144.
In our Photon M3 review, we praised the 3D printer’s quality prints and easy setup. If you’re considering jumping into resin-based 3D printing, this is a great way to get started without having to break the bank.
Anycubic Photon M3: was $399 now $255 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
If you’re shopping for Amazon Fire products now is a great time to pick some up at a sizable discount. Case in point: The Fire TV Cube is just $59 @ Amazon (opens in new tab).
That’s roughly half off this cute little black monolith, which usually retails for $120 and delivers great 4K HDR picture quality. In our Fire TV Cube review we celebrated the speedy performance, intuitive interface and Alexa cable box controls. If you’re looking for the most powerful Fire TV streaming device you’ll want to opt for this second-generation Cube, which is half-price for a limited time!
Thinking about trying out the smartwatch life? Now’s a great time to get onboard now because one of the best smartwatches on the market is on sale for $50 off. Now that the Apple Watch 8 is $349 on Amazon (opens in new tab), I’m having a hard time not pulling the trigger.
In our Apple Watch 8 review we lauded the smartwatch for improving on the battery life of its predecessors and offering new features (like skin temperature readings) while maintaining the same great design and display. With watchOS 9 driving it, this is one of the best Apple Watches you can buy.
• WD_Black SN850 1TB NVMe SSD w/ Heatsink: $179 $119 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
Want an instant upgrade for your PS5? The Western Digital WB_Black SN850 is the first official PS5 SSD, and as part of Amazon’s second Prime Day event of the year, this essential accessory has just dropped to a new lowest-ever price.
For a limited time, the WB_Black SN850 1TB NVMe SSD w/ heatsink is on sale for $119 at Amazon (opens in new tab). That’s $60 off its full retail price of $179. While we have previously seen this SSD sale for as low as $129, this extra $10 discount brings it down to a new all-time low price. The SSD also includes a heatsink so you can plug it in and get to gaming right away.
Amazon Fire TV 65″ Omni Series 4K: $829 $699 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
While this sale isn’t as good as the crazy 80% off deal we saw earlier today, you can still get a discount on Amazon’s premium smart TV offering. Right now, the 65-inch Omni TV with Alexa is $130 off its regular price. For that, you’re getting a Fire TV set with support for Dolby Vision, HDR 10, HLG, and Dolby Digital Plus, 3 HDMI 2.0 inputs plus one HDMI 2.1 eARC.
There’s no local dimming and, with a refresh rate of 60Hz it won’t appeal to gamers, but otherwise the Omni series gets a lot right at a good price. It’s also available in 43-, 50-, 55- and 75-inch sizes.
• Amazon Echo Dot (3rd Gen): $39 $17 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
Believe it or not, Amazon is still selling a smart speaker it made five years ago. Although this is an older model, the 3rd Gen Echo Dot is the ultimate affordable smart speaker for all things Alexa, allowing you to ask questions, control your smart home and enjoy music with a quick voice command.
In some ways, we like the third-gen Echo Dot more than the fourth- and fifth-gen models for its slimmer, hockey-puck-shaped design; the newer models look like Magic 8-balls, which makes them tougher to stuff away in a corner. If all you need is a smart speaker in a room to announce visitors from your video doorbell and play a little background music, this is a great deal. However, it’s only available in charcoal gray.
• Segway Ninebot ES2: $589 $499 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
Segway makes some of the best electric scooters around, but they’re generally on the pricey side, which is why Prime Day is a good time to pick up a model. The ES2 is a light model, with a 300W motor and weighing just 27.6 pounds, so it should be easy enough to carry up and down stairs if you live in a walk-up apartment. It gets up to 15 MPH and 15 miles on a charge, but you can purchase an extra battery (sold separately) to extend the range up to 28 miles.
It also has an LED display, cruise control, and customizable ambient lights. It even has Bluetooth, so you can connect it to the Segway Ninebot app to get firmware updates, customize your ride, and look up stats on how long you’ve scooted around. Its 300W motor should be fine for most excursions, but larger riders will have trouble on inclines, so it’s best for those who don’t have too many hills to climb.
The magic of cloud gaming has seemingly untethered games everywhere. The only real problem is that your phone isn’t enough on its own to make perfect use of that Xbox Gamepass subscription. That’s where the Razer Kishi (iPhone), currently $44 at Amazon (opens in new tab) (55% off MSRP) comes in. The Razer Kishi for (Android), $43 at Amazon (opens in new tab) has a similar discount.
An excellent mobile game controller mount, this device lets you game on the go with ease: its buttons have a good feel to each click, and USB-C passthrough charging helps your device stay alive. Yes, it may not be the latest version, but the newer model isn’t better enough that you should avoid this offer.
Some of us stay away from soundbars because of the size of the equipment, or the heft of the bill. This October Prime Day deal helps fix both of those concerns, as the Polk Audio MagniFi Mini is now just $194 at Amazon (opens in new tab) , savings of over a third off its MSRP. And as Tom’s Guide’s own Audio Editor Lee Dunkley can attest, the MagniFi Mini does a fantastic job of fitting a lot of sound into a small chassis. Small enough to not clutter your space, but strong enough to fill a small apartment or bedroom with immersive sound, the MagniFi Mini is one of the best soundbars on the market.
Prime Day 2, October Prime Day and Amazon Prime Early Access Sale … no matter what you call today, the shared goal is the same for most: save money. Which is where the Innova 6100P OBD-II scanner, now $111 at Amazon (opens in new tab) comes in handy. An OBD-II scanner, for those who don’t know will diagnose issues with your automobiles before they become much bigger problems. As in “fix this now for cheap before it becomes an expensive headache” situations.
The Innova 6100P, however, earns its title as one of the best OBD-II scanners by offering tricks reserved for more expensive devices. For example, linking it to Innova’s Repair Solutions 2 app will help you find the parts you’ll need, while its predictive failure analysis can help you figure out the parts in your car that may be most prone to failure.
Air purifiers sit in a class of household devices that have become increasingly more important: personal wellness gadgets. And this current sale on the Blueair Blue Pure 211+ Auto air purifier for $271 at Amazon (opens in new tab) is of similar urgency. Nearly the lowest it’s ever been, this 20%-off sale takes the best air purifier we’ve ever tested, and makes it far more accessible (than its original $339 price did).
Why is the Blueair Blue Pure 211+ Auto so good? Its CADR (clean air delivery rate) was higher than any other purifier we tested, and its 380 score on pollen makes this model a must-have for those who try and dodge hayfever. On top of all that, it barely has much of an energy drain, only requiring 0.159 kWh over the course of 24 hours on auto mode.
I walk, a lot. And so I’m always trying to find new pairs of comfortable shoes. This is why I’m listening very attentively when my colleague Jane McGuire has news about sneakers sales. And so we need to talk about the $104 discount on the men’s Adidas Ultraboost 21, now $76 at Amazon (opens in new tab). Down from $180 (the women’s pair is also on sale, down to $85 (opens in new tab)), these sneakers are tried-and-true legends in the kicks game.
These shoes use a thick wedge of Adidas’ Boost midsole foam to provide a bouncy and comfortable running experience — so you can last longer than your phone. The upper wraps your foot like a sock, while a soft, flexible support near the Achilles tendon helps prevent any problems there.
And, yes, they’re the Ultraboost 21 because these are the 21st iteration of the sneakers. Do you have anything that’s lasted through this many iterations without the company throwing everything out and starting anew? Oh, and as for what’s next, Adidas just launched the Ultraboost 22 earlier this year.
Hi there, I’m Tom’s Guide senior editor Henry T. Casey, and I’ve just told a good friend to buy the TCL 50″ Class 5-Series 4K Roku TV, now $399 at Amazon (opens in new tab). Yes, it’s on a 12%-off sale right now, and no this sale isn’t tied to Prime Early Access (aka October Prime Day). Why? Well, it’s still a sub-$400 50-inch QLED TV, which were the table-stakes for what my friend wanted, when she showed me the $339 Hisense 50-inch set (opens in new tab).
I suggested going with TCL, however, because that set runs Roku OS, which is the platform she’s more familiar with. Also, the Hisense model is running Fire TV, which is something you’ll see in a lot of the Prime Early Access discounts. That might be OK with you, but I don’t prefer its advertisement-heavy interface, which might annoy new users. So, you might rather save $60, or you might prefer Roku. Either way, you can get a good 50-inch QLED TV for under $400.
INIU Portable Charger: $21 $17 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
The INIU 10000mAh Portable Charger is our top pick for the best portable charger (opens in new tab) you can buy. It offers two USB-A ports, fast device charging and a sizable battery that can keep your smartphone powered all day long. It’s a useful accessory to have in your pocket for those long days on campus when you’re not within reach of a power outlet.
Right now the INIU Portable charger is just $17 on Amazon (opens in new tab), so it’s a sweet Prime Day deal under $25.
Shark RV1001AE IQ: $599 $299 @Amazon (opens in new tab)
If you’ve been holding off getting a robot vacuum, this October Prime Day deal is too good to pass up. Right now you can get the Shark RV1001AE IQ for just $299 (opens in new tab), which is a very impressive 50% off.
This robot vacuum empties itself for up to 45 days, and it offers home mapping along with support for Alexa. The RV1001AE also comes with a self-cleaning brush roll to help prevent pet hair tangling. You can select a specific room to clean or vacuum an entire floor with the push of a button.
As much as we like the new AirPods Pro 2, the Beats Fit Pro are a better choice for those who like to stay active. And it comes down to the more secure fit. Even better, right now you can get the Beats Fit Pro for just $159 (opens in new tab), which is 20% off the regular $199 price.
We love the Beats Fit Pro because they come with flexible, secure-fit wingtips, which are ideal if you’re running outside or in the gym. In our Beats Fit Pro review we called them Apple’s best workout headphones. You get a dynamic soundstage with Spatial Audio support, strong active noise cancellation and great call quality.
Overall, this is a great October Prime Day deal.
If you have a TV in your home that’s no so smart — or you have an older streaming stick in need of an upgrade — Roku is a great choice. And right now you can get the Roku Streaming Stick 4K for just $26 on Amazon (opens in new tab), which is 46% off.
The latest version of the Roku streaming stick that’s right for most people adds two key features. Dolby Vision ensures solid picture quality to a strong standard, and the new long-range Wi-Fi receiver helps you ditch buffering issues.
This device offers the clean Roku interface and complete app store, so you can easily and quickly load up all of the best streaming services — all without dealing with Fire TV and Chromecast’s heavier interfaces.
Whether you’re a new parent or raising a toddler, having a sick kid means everyone in your house will be losing sleep. If your little one is all stuffed up and can’t breathe, they are going to have a hard time sleeping and you will too. The BreathFrida 3-in-1 Humidifier can help though by adding some much needed moisture back into the air of your child’s room. Its humidifier is also quite big so you won’t have to refill it during the night. When your child is feeling better, the BreatheFrida can work as a diffuser to keep their room smelling fresh or as a nightlight so they won’t be afraid of the dark.

String lights are a quick and easy way to add a bit of ambiance to your backyard or even to the front of your house. I’m actually done decorating for the holidays thanks to the Govee Smart Outdoor String Lights. These smart string lights come in two sizes (48 feet or 96 feet) and they’re also IP65 waterproof as well as shatterproof. Using the Govee app, you can choose from 16 million colors for each bulb or try one of the 40 preset scenes. In addition to a dedicated Christmas scene, the Govee Smart Outdoor String Lights can sync with your music which makes them perfect for creating your own holiday light show. Since they don’t stand out like holiday lights though, you can keep them up year round.
Govee Smart Outdoor String Lights: $109 $69 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
Wireless security cameras are much easier to install than their wired counterparts but taking them down to charge can be annoying. The Eufy SoloCam S40 gets around this by adding an integrated solar panel at the top of the camera. In fact, with just two hours of direct sunlight each day, you don’t even have to charge this security camera. I recently tested the Eufy Edge Security System which has the same integrated solar panels and even though I’ve had them up for weeks, I still haven’t had to charge them. In addition to being on sale for $129, you can take an extra $20 off the Eufy SoloCam S40 by applying a $20 coupon at checkout. This adds up to 45% off its list price of $199.
Eufy SoloCam S40: $199 $109 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
I could eat pizza every night of the week, so this deal has my name written all over it. But alas, I don’t have a backyard. However, one of the best outdoor pizza ovens we’ve tested is now on sale for Prime Day. The Ooni pizza oven delivers wood-fired pizzas from the comforts of your home. It cooks stone-baked pizza in just 60 seconds and you can even take it with you to a friend’s backyard thanks to its portable design. Just check out these awesome pies Tom’s Guide EIC Mike Prospero made with his Ooni. These ovens are rarely on sale, which makes this deal even tastier. (It was last at this price point back in May during Memorial Day).

Hisense’s new 4K Fire TVs are on sale for Prime Day. However, one deal is offering more bang for your buck. Amazon has the 50-inch on sale for $444, but you can get the 58-inch for just $5 more currently priced at $449. So if you have the room to go big, the 58-inch model is the way to go. The TVs both offer HDR support and a “Game Mode Plus” setting that decreases input lag and reduces frame-rate issues on next-gen consoles.

I need new AirPods Pro badly. My current AirPods Pro are dying a slow death after getting rained on and sweated on for the past few years. So this deal is very tempting. Currently, Amazon has the new AirPods Pro (2022) on sale for $223. It’s a modest $26 off, but that’s the cheapest they’ve been since launch. The AirPods Pro 2 are Apple’s flagship earbuds taken to the next level with 2x better noise canceling, plus 6 hours of battery life on a charge. Not only are the earbuds IPX4-rated, but the wirelessly chargeable case is too, and it has a built-in microphone that helps you find it when it’s lost.

G’morning, all! Deals editor Louis back on the live blog for awhile. Like most people, I like deals that stretch your dollar. I also like to eat out a lot.

The coupon can only be used once, but I’m all for Amazon covering part of my lunch for today!

Have you always wanted a Peloton bike? Now’s your chance to grab a bargain — the Original Peloton Bike has been reduced down to $1,225 (opens in new tab) for Prime Day.
Peloton bikes have soared in popularity in recent years; throughout the pandemic, they gave us a chance to continue working out from the comfort of our home. Peloton All-Access Membership (sold separately at $44 per month), gives you access to thousands of classes, and thanks to the clear 22-inch screen, you won’t miss a thing with the Original Peloton Bike. Bear in mind that this model doesn’t come with the rotating screen or Apple Watch integration, but even so, it’s a great deal and includes assembly. You might also want to invest in the Peloton Bike Mat to sit underneath — it’s down from $75 to $56 in the Prime Day sale (opens in new tab).
Original Peloton Bike: $1,445 $1,225 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
Time for a PC upgrade? If so, you’ll definitely want to take advantage of this deal on the PowerColor Red Devil AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT Graphics Card, which is currently $400 off (opens in new tab) in Prime Day sales.

Have you been holding out until this Prime Day for a new pair of headphones? If so, this deal might be the one for you, especially if you’re not keen on splashing out the extra cash for a set of AirPods. The JBL Live 300 TWS headphones are now just $54 (opens in new tab) in today’s Prime Day sales. That’s a huge discount of 63% and $95.
While we haven’t reviewed these earbuds for our best wireless headphones list yet, they hold a solid 4 stars on Amazon, with well over 9,000 reviews, which means they’re pretty well regarded by customers. It’s Pete Wolinski here again, and I actually own a similar set of JBL Wave 300 TWS headphones. The sound quality is on a par with my 2nd Gen AirPods, so if you’re after a set of headphones with good sound quality for less than the Apple option, these will be up your street. Crucially, these headphones are also water and sweat resistant, as well as being in-ear, which makes them ideal for gym-goers or runners as they should stay firmly in place when you’re exercising and won’t be damaged by your sweat. At this discount, I’d say these earbuds are an absolute steal.
JBL Live 300 TWS: $149 $54 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
Looking to upgrade your Canon lenses? Make sure you don’t miss this killer deal! The Canon RF 100mm F2.8L Macro USM is currently on sale at $999 (opens in new tab) in today’s Prime Day sales, which represents 29% off its usual price of $1,399 and the lowest price we’ve seen.
I’m Pete Wolinski, the Cameras Editor here at Tom’s Guide. As a photographer, camera writer and someone very familiar with Canon lenses, believe me when I say this is a great deal. A 100mm macro lens is often considered the professional industry standard for all kinds of photography, including food, product, fashion and beauty photography. They’re also great for wildlife macro shots, if bugs are your thing! This particular lens carries on Canon’s tradition of producing legendary 100mm macros, and is extremely highly regarded by the pros and people that use it. It’s also an L-Series lens — these contain Canon’s best optics for the sharpest images. Adding this lens to your kitbag alongside one of the best cameras like the Canon EOS R6 is a sure fire way to give your photos a professional look and feel. And what better time to buy one than when it’s being sold at a huge discount?

If you want one of the best robot vacuums, but don’t want to break the bank, you can now get the Renewed Roborock S7 Robot Vacuum and Mop for just $379 (opens in new tab) this Prime Day.
While this model is renewed, the price won’t get much cheaper for a 2-in-1 vacuum mop. Such hybrid designs admittedly don’t have a brilliant reputation, however we have tested the Roborock S7 and can tell you first hand that it’s the exception. In fact, it’s the best robot vacuum mop we’ve tested. It navigates well, has excellent pickup, and the app is intuitive to use. Plus, it’s easy to switch over to the mop function, which provides good coverage and is ideal for picking up light spills and stains.

If your home Wi-Fi network could use an upgrade, or if you’re experiencing dead zones in areas of your home, you won’t want to miss this deal. The TP-Link Deco XE75 2-pack just dropped to $239 (opens in new tab) in today’s Prime Day sales. This is the lowest ever price for this product, making this deal well worth snapping up.
TP-Link are renowned for producing high quality networking hardware, including mesh Wi-Fi routers, and this router is no exception. The TP-Link Deco XE75 scored highly in our review thanks to its excellent data throughput and affordable price, and features in both our best mesh routers and best Wi-Fi 6 routers round ups. At 20% off, which is the lowest price we’ve seen, its value for money just went up even higher this Prime Day, so make sure you take advantage while you can.
TP-Link Deco XE75 2-Pack: $299 $239 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
If you’ve always wanted to treat yourself to an air fryer, but have never taken the plunge, now’s your chance. The Ninja AF101 Air Fryer just dropped to $84 (opens in new tab) this Prime Day.
Ninja is a name synonymous with air fryers; in fact the brand features in both our lists for the best air fryers and best toaster ovens. These air fryers can produce crisp and tender results in a matter of minutes. There are four separate settings to choose from on the AF101 model, including air fry, roast, reheat and dehydrate, and with dishwasher-safe attachments, it’s simple to clean up after too. Considering the cost of energy is on the rise, air fryers are a budget-friendly alternative to using the oven as well.

If you want convenience from your coffee maker, but don’t want to sacrifice on flavor, a Nespresso machine might be the way to go. And right now you can get the Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee and Espresso Machine by De’Longhi for just $159 (opens in new tab) — this is almost as cheap as it’s ever been.
Nespresso is renowned for producing a high quality of espresso from a capsule — these machines can actually reach a high enough temperature and pressure to form a crema, which few other capsule machines can achieve. Considering this machine has made our list as one of the best coffee makers, deals don’t get much better than this. It comes with a milk frother, should you be a fan of lattes and cappuccinos, plus 12 flavours of capsule to get you started.

If you’re after an Apple laptop, then you can get the MacBook Air M1 for up to 20% off from Amazon (opens in new tab) which is as cheap as we’ve ever seen it.
While it doesn’t have the newer design and improved chip of the (also discounted) MacBook Air M2 (opens in new tab), the MacBook Air M1 still offers plenty of oomph with its Apple M1 chipset, and a lengthy battery life to boot. It’s one of the cheapest ways to get into the macOS ecosystem, and it’s well worth it, especially if you already own an iPhone or iPad and can make use of Apple’s ingenious Continuity features.
MacBook Air M1 (8GB/128GB): $999 $799 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
The latest flagship noise-canceling headphones from Sony, the WH-1000XM5, is discounted by $50 (opens in new tab), making this the lowest price yet for this excellent pair of ‘phones.
Sony’s subtle design, available in either black or off-white, hides a bunch of ingenious tech that gives it the best ANC of any wireless headphones we’ve tested, along with improved sound, call quality and controls and connectivity to ensure they remain the gold standard for this style of headphone. Just make sure you’re a Prime member, otherwise this deal’s off-limits to you

One of our favorite smartphones is getting an awesome discount right now. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is going for just $889 (opens in new tab) which is not only low for the best Android phone we’ve ever tested, but is also the lowest it’s ever been.
You get some truly impressive specs with the S22 Ultra. Whether it’s the large 6.8-inch QHD AMOLED display with 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, the quad rear cameras including a 108MP main sensor and two telephoto cameras, the zippy 40W charging or the included S Pen stylus, you’re getting some of the best tech on any smartphone available right now.

It’s also got a speedy A15 Bionic chipset, that you can spec with 5G if you don’t mind the extra expense. It’s ideal if you find Apple’s other iPads too large for your liking, but still want great performance and the option to do some stylus-powered doodling.
iPad mini (2021/64GB): $499 $399 @ Amazon
Here’s a very big saving on a very good television: LG 48″ C1 OLED TV is on sale for $1,496 at Amazon (opens in new tab). That’s 40% off its full retail price of $2,499. Do note that while some Prime Early Access deals are open to all, for this one you will need an Amazon Prime subscription. And if you’re not a member it could be worth signing up for this deal alone because we rank the LG C1 as one of the best OLED TVs you can buy. We highly recommend this television for its fantastic picture quality, HDMI 2.1 connectivity and best-in-class gaming performance (PS5 and Xbox Series X owners take note). It’s definitely not a cheap TV deal, but the LG C1 comfortably justifies its rather sizeable cost.
LG 48″ C1 OLED TV: $2,499 $1,496 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
The Prime Early Access Sale is offering dozens of discounts on Fire TV streaming devices. And we’ve already flagged one of our favorite deals on the Fire TV Stick 4K Max, but there’s also the Fire TV Cube on sale for $59 at Amazon (opens in new tab). That’s a very significant $60 discount on this Amazon branded product.
In our Fire TV Cube review we awarded the device an editor’s choice seal of approval, and praised its speedy performance, excellent 4K HDR picture quality, easy to navigate interface and Alexa cable box controls. If you’re looking for the most powerful Fire TV streaming device, then you’ll want to opt for this second-generation Cube and at 50% off now is the ideal time to buy.
Fire TV Cube: $119 $59 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
No retail sales event is complete without a sizeable mattress discount, and while we typically see the biggest savings direct from the manufacturer, Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale is offering a tempting deal on a premium sleep surface. The Casper Original Hybrid Mattress (Queen) is on sale for $1,253 at Amazon (opens in new tab). That’s $442 off compared to its full retail price of $1,695. The Casper Original offers targeted support for proper spinal alignment, and packs an layer of perforated breathable foam to prevent you getting too hot at night. If you’re looking for a better night’s sleep this winter, the Casper Original Mattress is a very sound investment.

This will be my last post for today, but I promise it’s a good one. Last week, Amazon teased a few deals for October 11. One such deal was “80% off the Amazon Fire TV Omni Series 55-inch 4K Smart TV.” This TV regularly sells for $559, so 80% off that price would mean starting October 11 you’ll be able to get it for around $111. That’s an insanely low price for ANY 55-inch 4K TV. I suspect this deal will be very limited and it’ll sell out fast. But if you’re on a very tight budget and want to try your chances — this is the TV deal to get.
Make sure to bookmark this page and come back first thing Tuesday morning as we bring you the best deals in the Prime Early Access Sale.
Amazon Omni 55″ 4K Fire TV: $559 $111 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
Last week was a busy week for Android fans as Google debuted its new Google Pixel 7 and Google Pixel 7 Pro. If you’re looking for Pixel 7 preorders, Amazon has one of the best unlocked deals you’ll find. Currently, you can get a Pixel 7 with a free $100 Amazon gift card for just $599. Sure, you’re paying regular price for the phone, but you’re getting a free $100 Amazon GC, which you can use to buy anything you want at Amazon.

Last week the AirPods dropped to $79, which was an all-time price low for Apple’s buds. The deal sold out in less than 20 minutes. Well, Amazon is at it again. The AirPods are back on sale for $89, which is $10 higher than last week, but still a fantastic price. (In fact, this was the price we saw last Black Friday). So if you need a solid pair of earbuds, but don’t wanna drop $100+, you can’t go wrong with this deal.
Apple AirPods: $159 $89 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
I love my Luna weighted blanket! This specific blanket sits at the top of our list of the best weighted blankets you can buy. We gave it a good review because it has a comfy, breathable cover and its glass bead filling provides even, relaxing pressure across your entire body. Personally, I find that it helps me fall asleep faster at night and I love using it when watching Netflix on the couch. Various styles/sizes are on sale. Make sure to check out our Luna Weighted Blanket review for our full thoughts and our weighted blanket sales page for more deals.
Luna Weighted Blanket: $79 $69 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
Heaven knows I need a new vacuum cleaner and Amazon is taking $200 off iRobot’s J-series robot vacuums. The J7 Plus sits at the top of our list of the best Roombas you can buy. It features obstacle avoidance technology, which will detect an object and choose to veer around it. It essentially learns from every run, so it recognizes items such as cables and socks. The J7 Plus also comes with a handy clean base, which will store up to 60 days of debris. If you’re wondering, the J7 doesn’t have the cleaning base, which is why it costs less. Otherwise, both models are the same.
Roomba J7: $599 $399 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)

I purchased this Ninja coffee maker a few weeks ago and totally love it. It’s compact and very easy to use, plus I like that it can make up to 12-cups if I ever have friends/guests over. (It has a removable 60-ounce water reservoir). I was a bit hesitant because a few Amazon reviews say the water reservoir leaks, but I’ve been using it daily for a few weeks now and I haven’t had any issues so far. (Knocks on wood). For $79 bucks, it’s also very cheap!

G’afternoon, all! Deals editor Louis taking over the Prime Day live blog for the rest of the afternoon. So there are a few things I’d like to buy during the Prime Early Access Sale and a yoga mat is one of them. (Possibly an exercise ball as well). I injured my lower back and knee earlier this summer (bad bout of runner’s knee), so I’ve been doing a lot of mat-based exercises to build up my core and rehab my knee. That’s why I’m eyeing this sale, which has exercises accessories on sale from $9. The sale includes both mats, exercise balls, and step platforms.
Yoga mats/exercise balls: deals from $9 (opens in new tab)
One of our favorite deals from Prime Day 2022 has returned as the Eero Pro 6 mesh router (two-pack) is back on sale for $259 at Amazon (opens in new tab). That’s a $140 saving compared to the device’s standard price of $399. It’s also among the lowest ever prices we’ve seen for a two-piece Eero Pro 6 kit.
We rank the Eero Pro 6 as one of the best mesh routers on the market, primarily because of its great range, dynamic tri-band operation and extremely simple setup. In our Eero Pro 6 review, we concluded it was the perfect choice for anyone who wants “Wi-Fi 6 networking without the hassle.” In fact, we even labeled its setup process as “one of the quickest and easiest routines” of any mesh system we’ve reviewed.

If you’re looking for an uber-portable Bluetooth speaker, then here’s a deal for you. The Tribit StormBox Micro is on sale for $39 at Amazon (opens in new tab). That’s a $20 discount off its full retail price of $59.
I’ve been testing out this speaker over the last couple of month and the Tribit StormBox Micro has quickly become my favorite summer gadget. That’s partially because of its extremely portability, but also because of its size-defying sound (with surprisingly weighty-bass). I also love its IP67 waterproofing, and super useful carrying strap that allows it to be easily fixed to a backpack or bike handlebars. It’s very quickly become the first speaker I grab whenever I’m heading on an outdoor adventure.
Tribit StormBox Micro Bluetooth speaker: $59 $39 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
As usual with an Amazon sales event, the retailer’s own devices are seeing some of the biggest discounts during the Prime Early Access Sale. Case in point, the Fire HD 8-inch Kids Tablet is on sale for $69 (opens in new tab), that’s a 50% saving compared to its full retail price of $139.
This best-selling tablet is an age-appropriate device that allows your little ones to watch their favorite TV shows, read books and play games. Plus, it can survive drops and knocks due to its kid-proof case with built-in stand. The 8-inch FHD display is surprisingly vibrant, and the 13 hour battery life is handy for long journeys and flights.

The latest MacBook Air model is already on sale as the official start of the Prime Early Access Sale inches closer. For a limited time, the MacBook Air M2 (2022/256GB) is on sale for $1,099 at Amazon (opens in new tab). That’s a $100 discount on this excellent editor-choice machine. In our MacBook Air M2 (2022) review we were extremely impressed with this laptop’s top-notch performance, 14 hours of battery life and super bright display. We also loved the slick and portable design and 1080p webcam.

If you’re after a superb pair of wireless earbuds — that aren’t AirPods — you’ll want to check out the Sony WF-1000XM4. In our Sony WF-1000XM4 review, we awarded these buds 4.5 stars and described them as having “elite sound, noise cancellation and awesome features.” Heads up: they hit $198 this past summer, so they’ve definitely been cheaper before. If you can afford to wait, they will likely hit that price point again on Black Friday. If you need them now, this is their third-lowest price.
Sony: WF-1000XM4: $279 $248 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
One of the best Prime Day deals we’ve seen this morning is actually coming from….Walmart. Amazon’s biggest rival launched its own sale this morning and one of its biggest deals is $50 off the new Apple Watch 8. Naturally, Amazon responded by offering the same deal. In our Apple Watch 8 review, we named the Editor’s Choice Series 8 the best smartwatch you can buy. It’s now at its lowest price to date. (You can follow all of Walmart’s best sales via our Walmart Rollback sale live blog)

The new football season is in full swing, and that means the latest Madden game has arrived. Ahead of the Prime Early Access Sale, Madden NFL 23 is on sale for $44 at Amazon (opens in new tab), that’s a saving of $25 (make sure to check the $5 coupon box for the full discount). This deal is available on both the PS5 and Xbox Series X version of the game.
In our Madden NFL 23 review, we were impressed with the game’s ability to replicate the feeling of a real football broadcast, and we also loved its super speedy load times. The lack of new modes and familiar gameplay compared to previous years were a little disappointing though. However, if you want to play some virtual football there’s no better pick than Madden.
Madden NFL 23 (PS5/Xbox Series X): $69 $44 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
We do like a good bit of smart home tech here at Tom’s Guide and the Amazon Echo Show 5 (2nd gen) is a nice combo of smart screen and speaker.

Fancy a new TV but don’t want to go too big or splash the cash? Then check out the range of TV’s Amazon has on sale with prices starting as little as $89 (opens in new tab).
Bear in mind, the cheap TVs tend to be smaller, 720p models (which are more suitable for a children’s room or guest room). However, the sale also includes larger sets and are among the cheapest TV deals we’ve ever seen from Amazon.

It’s now on sale for $24 at Amazon (opens in new tab), slicing the price in half. This deal first appeared last week and has been pretty popular over the weekend.
