LIVE BLOG: Get the latest news on October Prime Day 2024

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sale is back. Live now through Wednesday, Oct. 9 at 11:59 p.m. PT, this members-only “October Prime Day” event presents shoppers with an opportunity to get an extra-early start on their holiday shopping before the chaos of Black Friday. (Head to our live blog to read all the latest live coverage of the event.)

The retail giant plans to offer “millions of deals” over the course of the 48-hour sale, according to a press release, with new doorbusters arriving “as often as every five minutes” during certain portions of the sale — some totally worth it, some not. The Mashable Shopping team has years of experience covering Prime events and knows how to comb through the noise, and we’ll be keeping track of the very greatest October Prime Day deals right here.

What are the greatest October Prime Day deals?

Unsurprisingly, Amazon has reserved a lot of really good deals for itself: Select devices across its Echo, Fire, Kindle, Blink, and eero brands are on sale for up to 58% off on Prime Big Deal Days, including dirt-cheap Fire tablets and Echo smart speakers that come with free smart bulbs. Prime members can snag four free months of Amazon Music Unlimited, three free months of Kindle Unlimited, and a $10 discount on one GrubHub order of $15 or more; don’t forget to use the coupon code PRIME10 at checkout.

Beyond that, we’ve seen a slew of TVs, laptops, tablets, headphones, and fitness trackers on sale on Amazon. Of note, that includes new all-time lows across the Apple lineup: Several MacBooks, the latest iPads, and the all-new AirPods Max with USB-C have never been cheaper on Amazon before today. Extra-deep discounts on robot vacuums are also making appearances, to the tune of up to $850 off.

Scroll down to check out our massive running list of the greatest deals in each category.

When does Prime Big Deal Days end?

Prime Big Deal Days is live through Wednesday, Oct. 9 at 11:59 p.m. PT (aka Oct. 10 at 2:59 a.m. ET). That said, some deals — definitely not all of them — may stick around for longer.

Here’s what was live at the time of writing:

Greatest Apple deal

Why we like it

Read Mashable’s full review of the 14-inch Apple MacBook Pro (M3).

“The latest 14-inch MacBook Pro features an M3 chip that supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing for rendering lifelike lighting, plus a bright 120Hz mini-LED display, tons of ports (including an SDXC card slot), and a battery that lasted over 16 hours per charge in our testing. It’s another Mashable Choice Award winner.

All configurations of the 14-inch M3 Pro are now on sale at all-time lows on Amazon (including the base model, which is now just $1,299). However, we’re partial to the bumped-up version with 16GB of memory and 1TB of SSD storage: that extra RAM is necessary if you’re going to be using it for multitasking and/or creative work. Normally $1,999, it’s now just $1,699 — a 15% savings. Note that it’s technically $100 cheaper at Greatest Buy, but only for paid members of its My Greatest Buy program.” — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

Greatest Amazon device deal

Why we like it

“The new Fire HD 8 has the same display, processor, 13-hour battery life, and storage options as the older model, but Amazon’s added a gig of extra RAM for “enhanced performance while streaming, gaming, browsing, or downloading photos and videos.” (Don’t expect it to be super powerful, but more memory never anyone.) Its rear camera has also gotten a bump from 2MP to 5MP, which should translate to slightly better shots. On the software side, its newly added generative AI features include Writing Assist, Webpage Summaries, and a Wallpaper Creator.

No need to upgrade if you already own the previous model, but those in need of a new portable, affordable tablet should consider short-listing this guy. The 32GB base model is on sale for $54.99 through Oct. 9 (the second half of Prime Big Deal Days), which works out to a 45% savings.” — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

Why we like it

“Portability and versatility are the names of the game for this 14-inch hybrid laptop, which weighs about the same as a 13-inch M3 MacBook Air. This particular configuration packs a newer Intel Core Ultra 5 155H processor with 16GB of memory, which are solid specs for multitasking. It also comes with a compatible LG Stylus Pen for drawing and taking notes on its IPS touchscreen.

Amazon currently has it priced at $759.99 for Prime members, which is a whopping 42% off its $1,299.99 MSRP and its lowest price to date. For comparison’s sake, it was listed for $799.99 on the LG website when we last checked.” — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

Greatest headphones deal

For deals on AirPods, scroll back up to the “Apple deals” section.

Why we like it

Read Mashable’s full review of the Amazon Echo Buds with Active Noise Cancellation.

Simply put, you really don’t see earbuds with halfway decent active noise cancellation below $50, much less below $40. In my testing of budget noise-cancelling headphones, I found that the Anker Soundcore Life P3i earbuds fared well with noise-cancelling and audio quality for around $50. I opted for them instead of the Echo Buds because of the price discrepancy, but with the Echo Buds at a whopping 71% off, it’d be hard to recommend another pair of earbuds if you’re looking for the cheapest way to get the greatest ANC possible.

You’ll deal with some quirks like Amazon wanting you to lean heavy into using Alexa, and a battery life that’s nothing to write home about, for $35 you could do a lot worse. — Bethany Allard, Lead Shopping Reporter

Greatest Bluetooth speaker deal

Why we like it

“Maybe your Bluetooth speaker kicked the dust this summer after one too many pool parties. If you find yourself in the market for a new one, Prime Day is an especially great time to hit add to cart.

If you need a speaker for a party, the JBL PartyBox is just that. Despite its large size, the shoulder strap makes it easy to carry. Plus, six hours of battery life keeps it running all night long. Built-in lights and a microphone really keep things turning up all night long.

This Prime Day, you can find the JBL PartyBox down to $299.95, saving $50 for 14% off.” — Samantha Mangino, Shopping Reporter

Greatest TV deal

Why we like it

“Who says you need to spend a grand to get a nice (and decently sized) 4K TV? With the 35% discount that Amazon slapped on the 55-inch version of its most affordable Fire TV, Prime members could actually get one for two different rooms for way less than $1,000.

As Amazon’s most basic in-house Fire TV, the 4-Series would be greatest suited for people who aren’t super picky about saturation or brightness levels as long as it’s a step up from their old LED TV — and this definitely will be. With the intuitive Fire TV platform built-in, the 4-Series can access all of your favorite streaming apps, which you can arrange in whatever layout makes sense to you.” — Leah Stodart, Senior Shopping Reporter

Greatest streaming deal

Why we like it

Is the Amazon Fire Stick 4K the greatest streamer we’ve ever tested? No, Roku takes the cake there. However, it still works perfectly fine, and not to mention, it’s hard to turn away from its delightful $30 price tag on Prime Day. Having tested the Amazon Fire Stick TV, set-up is easy, as simple as plugging it into an HDMI port in the back of your TV.

While the home screen is a little clunky and slow, full of ads and promotions for Prime Video content, it is a dream for those who primarily stream on the site. The Amazon Fire Stick 4K is down to $24.99, saving you $25 and 50% off.

Greatest gaming deal

“The Razer BlackWidow V3 Mini is a high-end gaming keyboard that’s going for under $100 on Prime Big Deal Days (usually $199.99). The low-profile keyboard features wireless support, a lengthy battery life, and some of the greatest RGB customization in the business. If you’re serious about PC gaming but don’t have a lot of desk space, this gaming keyboard is the way to go, and it’s an absolute steal at the moment.” — Dylan Haas, Lead Shopping Reporter

Greatest board game deal

Why we like it

“Catan is a classic strategy game that’s perfect for families and game nights. And, at 50% off — down to just $29.99 — it’s a steal. (You can get the five-to-six-player extension for $24.49). In this game, you’ll need to collect resources, settle the land, and trade with other players to build the biggest settlements. If you like any of the digital empire-building games, Catan is a great tabletop version that requires tight strategy, some luck, and a good dose of diplomacy to win.” — Tabitha Britt, Mashable Shopping Contributor

Greatest drone deal

Why we like it

“If you’re really into drones, the name Holy Stone should be on your radar. This brand is known for making high-end drones that are feature-packed and, at times, super affordable.

The HS175D RC Quadcopter is currently $135.99 at Amazon, which is [$134 off its true MSRP on the Holy Stone website. (Amazon’s list price is deflated.)] It’s a solid mid-range drone option that shoots 4K videos, has a 46-minute flight time, and a special flight mode where you can direct its movement — whether you want it to follow you or fly along a specific path.” — Tabitha Britt, Mashable Shopping Contributor

Greatest robot vacuum deal

Why we like it

“Ecovacs wasn’t lying when it came up with the term ‘all-in-one cleaning hub’ here, considering that this robot vacuum not only empties itself and washes and dries its own mopping pads, but also has another sweet feature tacked onto the dock: a handheld cordless vacuum. If your main hesitation with robot vacuums was that they can’t scale a staircase, sweep under couch cushions, or detail corners up to your standards, this is the one robot vacuum purchase that can — now for well under $1,000.” — Leah Stodart, Senior Shopping Reporter

Greatest Dyson vacuum deal

Why we like it

“The Dyson V8 Plus cordless vacuum (silver/nickel) is lightweight and powerful and can handle most daily cleaning tasks. It has a detachable wand for cleaning stairs, upholstery, and hard-to-reach areas, and it converts to a handheld vac for quick cleanups. It comes with four accessories, including a hair screw tool for pet hair.

With a runtime of up to 40 minutes on a single charge, this little vac is ideal for small apartments and quick cleanups.

You can get it at Amazon for a whopping 299.99 in a Big Prime Deal (originally $469.99). It’s out of stock at Dyson.” — Tabitha Britt, Mashable Shopping Contributor

Greatest fitness tracker deal

For deals on Apple Watches, scroll back up to the “Apple deals” section.

Why we like it

“Ideal for smaller wrists, the Garmin Venu 3S is about .2 inches smaller in diameter and .3 oz lighter than the standard Venu 3. It still offers the same advanced features, like a built-in speaker and microphone to take calls, the ability to store music, and an abundance of health and fitness tools and insights. The only real difference besides the size is that the 3S has a slightly shorter battery life (about 10 days in smartwatch mode versus the 3’s 14 days), but it still blows the Apple Watch battery out of the water. It’s usually $449.99, but you can save $55 during the October Prime event and get it for only $395. That’s a new all-time low.” — Christina Buff, Mashable Shopping Contributor

Greatest kitchen deal

Why we picked this

“Espresso machines can easily run you near $1,000, and though Breville is known for their pricier machines, this Duo Temp Pro deal sits squarely in the middle of the budget range for most consumer espresso machines. You’ll get the low-pressure pre-infusion designed to help you achieve even extraction, a milk frother, and a machine that heats up quickly. If you’re not a huge coffee drinker or prefer as minimal effort as possible, one of the under $200 options or a Nespresso might work better for you. However, if you’re looking to level up your espresso game but don’t want to pay $500-plus, then the Duo Temp Pro is a solid pick.

According to the price tracker camelcamelcamel, this machine has dropped lower in price only one time before for a record low of $279.99.” — Bethany Allard, Lead Shopping reporter

Greatest book deal

Why we like it

“Even if self-help isn’t your usual genre, James Clear’s Atomic Habits deserves a spot on your bookshelf. This is one of the greatest nonfiction titles to come out within the past few years, and it’s currently 49% off in hardcover.

This book is all about teaching yourself to build good habits, break bad ones, and generally become more focused, productive, and successful in your daily life. And at just $13.79 for the hardcover, it’s a steal.” — Tabitha Britt, Mashable Shopping Contributor

Greatest home security deal

Why we like it

“If you could put a price tag on peace of mind, it’d be pretty close to this Blink Whole Home Bundle deal. It includes the Blink Outdoor 4, Mini 2, Video Doorbell, and Sync Module 2, all for just $89.97. That’s 55% off the retail value and the lowest price we’ve seen on this particular bundle. The Blink Mini 2 can take care of the inside of your home, day or night, while the Outdoor 4 can keep an eye on things outside. Paired with the Blink app, the video doorbell can show you who shows up at your door (even at night). And the Sync Module 2 will let you keep track of all the action in one place (and store your clips locally). It’s one of the most affordable ways to keep an eye on every part of your home.” — Christina Buff, Mashable Shopping Contributor

Why we like it

The HP ENVY 6055e wireless color inkjet printer can print quickly, going through five pages a minute in color, and eight and a half pages in black and white. It also comes with three months’ worth of ink through HP+. You just have to activate your subscription to get it — it’s pretty easy to do through the app. This compact printer is ideal for at-home printing or dorm room use.

Greatest Samsung Galaxy deal

Why we like it

“Samsung’s Galaxy A35 is a ‘strong buy for the price,’ as our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) said in their review. The budget-friendly Galaxy phone was released as a more affordable alternative to the Galaxy S24. As a budget phone, it doesn’t offer the same speed and performance as the S24, but it also doesn’t cost over $1,000. It packs a gorgeous 6.6-inch display, Samsung’s Exynos 1380 processor, a 50 MP wide-angle camera with optical image stabilization, and a long-lasting 5,000mAh battery that supports fast charging. It’s not the most impressive phone on the market, but on sale for [under $300], it’s a pretty hard deal to beat.” — Christina Buff, Mashable Shopping Contributor

Greatest keyboard deals

Why we like it

“For under $90, you’re getting a hot-swappable keyboard with a 96% layout, a knob, a small display, and a Bluetooth, 2.4GHz, and USB-C connection. In other words, this Royal Kludge keyboard is a great affordable mechanical keyboard, whether you’re into gaming or just want something cute for your desk. There are also four different keycap colorways available, but the coupon amount may vary depending on which you choose.” — Bethany Allard, Lead Shopping Reporter
