It’s time yet again for another Prime Day event, as the second annual Prime Big Deal Days is now underway. We’re compiling all manner of deals for your perusal, but we’re sticking to our style of only surfacing the worthwhile stuff — the “good stuff,” if you will. Below, you’ll find discounts and savings on smart home devices, laptops, tablets, TVs, headphones, e-readers, and many other items our expert team of editors and writers have tested or can personally voucher for.

Amazon’s Prime Day events usually offer a firehose of deals, many of which are worthwhile if you plan on starting your holiday shopping early and don’t want to wait until the steepest discounts land on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The bulk of the deals are exclusive to those with an Amazon Prime subscription (which costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year), but if you haven’t subscribed before, you can still participate with a 30-day free trial.

Be sure to check out all our coverage of the two-day event through tomorrow, October 9th, and let us know if we helped you score that just-right deal you’ve been on the lookout for.

Amazon’s kid-friendly Paperwhite is the same as the standard Paperwhite, but it’s ad-free and comes with the added benefits of a two-year hardware protection plan, one year of Amazon Kids Plus, and a choice of three kid-friendly covers. Read our Kindle Paperwhite review.

Amazon’s highest-end streaming stick is faster than its predecessor with Wi-Fi 6E and double the storage. It also now displays widgets and artwork when idle while continuing to offer a terrific selection of streaming apps and Alexa integration.

  • Anker’s Qi2-certified MagGo Wireless Charging Station (Foldable 3-in-1) is down to $87.99 ($22 off) at Amazon, matching its all-time low. The portable charger — which remains one of our top picks among MagSafe / Qi2 options — can charge a compatible iPhone, Apple Watch, and pair of AirPods all at the same time.

The fifth-gen Echo Dot touts a temperature sensor, better sound, and faster response time than the prior model. It can also act as an extender for your Eero Wi-Fi system. Read our review.

The last-gen Pixel 8 comes with just a couple of key upgrades over 2022’s Pixel 7, and it misses out on several higher-end features on the 8 Pro, like a telephoto lens. But its combination of price, features, and the promise of seven years of OS updates makes it one of the best mainstream Android phones. Read our review.

The best headphone and earbud deals

With improved comfort, refined sound, and even better active noise cancellation, Sony’s WH-1000XM5 offer a compelling mix of features for the price. Read our review.

Bose’s latest flagship headphones are a replacement for the Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 that offer a more travel-friendly design, spatial audio, better call quality, excellent comfort, and some of the best noise cancellation around. Read our review.

  • The ultra-affordable Sony WH-CH520 have fallen to $38 ($40 off) Amazon, which is one of their better prices to date. The wireless on-ear headphones offer a lot of value if you don’t require noise cancellation, especially since they provide up to 50 hours of playback and support for multipoint Bluetooth connectivity.
  • JLab’s Go Air Pop in a variety of colors are as low as $17.49 ($7.50 off) at Amazon. They may be a little basic for wireless earbuds, but they carry an IPX4 rating for water resistance, 32 hours of total playing with the included case, and a variety of fun colors that make them the perfect pick for a kid (who might just lose them).
  • Amazon is selling Jabra’s semi-open Elite 10 Gen 2 earbuds for a new low of $199.99 ($80 off). Jabra may be exiting the consumer earbud space, but this swan song is one of its most advanced. They pack noise cancellation, physical buttons, and multipoint, but their real selling point is the included LE Audio charging case, which lets you wirelessly transmit audio from an external device.

Sony’s flagship WF-1000XM5 noise-canceling earbuds improve upon the previous model with richer sound quality, slightly more powerful ANC, and vastly improved comfort thanks to their reduced size and weight. Read our review.

With dynamic, rich sound and the best noise cancellation available in true wireless earbuds, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are a terrific pick if you want to listen to your music in peace. Read our review.

  • The Shokz OpenRun Pro headphones are currently matching their all-time low of $124.95 ($55 off) at Amazon. Their open-ear, bone conduction design is a great way to listen to audio on runs without tuning out the world (and any hazards) around you, and they offer up to 10 hours of continuous playback for extended runs.
  • Amazon is discounting the Echo Buds with Active Noise Cancellation to $34.99 ($85 off) with a wired charging case or $44.99 ($95 off) with a wireless charging case. They’re not exactly our favorite pair of ANC earbuds, but they offer an excellent passthrough mode, satisfactory sound, and support for hands-free Alexa. Read our review.
  • The Google Pixel Buds A-Series are a little long-in-the-tooth now but still offer good value (especially for Pixel phone owners) at their discounted price of $59 ($40 off) at Amazon. They feature IPX4 water resistance, in-ear detection, and a comfortable fit — that is, so long as you’re okay with nonremovable ear hooks. Read our review.

The Beats Fit Pro earbuds have integrated wing tips that help keep them secure during runs and workouts. They also have excellent noise cancellation, and their sound has just the right amount of bass and kick to keep you motivated. Read our review.

The best tablets and e-reader deals

Apple’s revamped iPad Mini ditches the home button and opts for a larger edge-to-edge display. It also comes outfitted with a faster processor, support for USB-C, and a top-mounted power button that moonlights as a Touch ID sensor. Read our review.

The 2023 Amazon Fire HD 10 sports a 10.1-inch, 1080p display and 3GB of RAM, which is plenty if you’re streaming or browsing. It’s lighter than the last-gen model, too, and comes with support for both the Made for Amazon Stylus Pen and Amazon’s handwriting recognition technology.

Google’s 11-inch Pixel Tablet uses the same Tensor G2 chip found in the Pixel 7 lineup. It’s also available with a magnetic charging dock so you can use it as a de facto smart display. Read our review.

  • The Amazon Fire HD 10 (2023) is on sale at Amazon with ads starting at $74.99 ($65 off) or without ads for $15 more. The 10.1-inch tablet is a pretty basic consumption device for a very low price, but the trade-off is Amazon’s less-than-stellar app store experience.
  • Amazon’s big, stylus-equipped Kindle Scribe is down to $254.99 ($85 off) at Amazon, which is one of the best prices we’ve seen on the ebook reader in recent months. It has a sharp, 10.2-inch E Ink display and great battery life, though, as noted in our review, it suffers from a somewhat lackluster note-taking experience, even if it has gotten better thanks to Amazon’s frequent OTA updates.

The best TV and streaming device deals

The hybrid Echo and Fire TV is faster than its predecessor with extensive hands-free voice control capabilities, support for Wi-Fi 6E, and excellent performance. Read our review.

  • Roku’s Streaming Stick 4K is down $34 (around $16 off) at Amazon, which is one of its better prices to date. The basic 4K streaming device offers an easy-to-use software interface and a host of solid specs — including support for Dolby Vision HDR — all within a svelte form factor that easily tucks behind your TV.
  • The latest Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is going for $24.99 ($25 off) at Amazon, matching its lowest price to date. It’s hard to beat in terms of value at this price, especially given its broad HDR support for Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, but it often feels like Amazon’s interface goes out of its way to center Prime Video content and ads when possible.
  • If you have an older Fire TV streaming device or want to use your Echo Show 15 as a small TV, you can pick up the Amazon Fire TV Remote Pro for an all-time low of $24.99 ($10 off) at Amazon. It’s arguably Amazon’s best clicker, with backlighting, two customizable buttons, and a handy remote finder feature that makes it easy to locate in a pinch. Read our review.

The latest Hisense 4K TVs boast excellent value for image quality and Google Play, giving you access to a wide selection of streaming apps. They also support Dolby Vision, HDR, and HDR10 Plus.

LG’s StanbyME Go is a fun 27-inch panel nestled within a briefcase. The basic 1080p display doesn’t offer high-end specs, though it does come with a selection of preloaded games, versatile viewing options, and a wide selection of streaming apps. Read our review.

Amazon’s own Fire TV Soundbar is a 2.0-channel speaker that stretches 24 inches long. It’s got support for Dolby Audio, DTS, and Bluetooth and connects to a compatible TV via an HDMI port with eARC or ARC. Read our hands-on impressions.

The best robot vacuum deals

The best bang for your buck, the Roomba i3 Evo cleans just as well as the j7 but won’t avoid clutter and doesn’t have app-enabled clean zones or keep-out zones.

  • Dreame’s X40 Ultra is available for $1,399.99 ($500 off) at Amazon, a new all-time low. The terrific robovac offers enough suction for high-pile carpets, and its built-in mop pad can be automatically detached and left at its self-emptying station for mostly hands-off use.
  • The Eufy X10 Pro Omni is down to $599.99 ($200 off) at Amazon. It’s matching its all-time low from last Prime Day, and its our top pick among midrange hybrid robot vacuums / mops. (As long as you’re willing to trust Anker’s Eufy brand after its security camera fiasco from over a year ago.)
Roborock’s Q5 Pro on a hardwood floor.Roborock’s Q5 Pro on a hardwood floor.Roborock’s Q5 Pro on a hardwood floor.Roborock’s Q5 Pro on a hardwood floor.

The Q5 Pro has a big 770ml bin, 5,500Pa of suction power, and can be paired with an auto-empty dock, making it a great budget option when it’s on sale. It also mops with a removable mopping pad with a small built-in water tank. It has dual rubber brushes, lidar mapping, and keep-out zones, and the app is very good.

The Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum and Mop mops very well — doing a swingy, scrubbing movement with its rear end when in “Matrix mode.” However, you have to manually fill and attach the mop reservoir and empty the bin when it mops, as it only self-empties in vacuum mode and can only avoid larger objects.

The best smartwatch and fitness tracker deals

  • The Mobvoi Ticwatch Pro 5 is on sale for $227.49 at Amazon when you click the on-page coupon for $122 off. The fitness and health-focused smartwatch has an Apple Watch-like digital crown for scrolling, along with a multiday battery thanks to its ultra-low-power display. Read our review.
  • The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 came out over the summer, but it’s already on sale at Amazon starting at $269 ($30 off). The latest generation of Samsung’s smartwatch doesn’t rock the boat with changes, but it offers an upgraded processor and 3-in-1 BioActive Sensor for snappier performance over prior generations. Read our review.

  • Amazon is discounting the latest Amazon Echo (fourth-gen) to its previous low of $49.99 ($50 off). The orb-shaped smart speaker delivers some good sound quality for its size if you choose to listen to music or podcasts on it, but one of its unique features is acting as a home hub for Zigbee and Matter — allowing it to bridge the gap to various other smart home devices with a simple Alexa voice command. Read our review.
  • The Echo Show 8 (third-gen), the latest version of Amazon’s mid-size smart display, is down to $84.99 ($65 off) at Amazon. The 8-inch device looks a lot like previous models, but it’s got widget support for added versatility, a more responsive touchscreen, and nice-sounding speakers. Just don’t expect to take any Zoom meetings on it, as only Alexa video calls are currently supported. Read our review.
  • If you want a smart alarm clock with a great display and zero mics / cameras, the latest Echo Spot is on sale at Amazon for $44.99 ($60 off) with a TP-Link Tapo Smart Color Bulb. The 2.83-inch touchscreen can’t display videos or double as a digital photo frame, but it can tell you the weather when you wake up, and its accompanying bulb can be controlled via Alexa voice commands or set to turn on with your alarm.

  • The Ring Battery Doorbell Plus, our top choice among battery-powered video doorbells, is down to $99.99 ($50 off) at Amazon, matching its previous Prime Day low. It’s a great value with square, high-quality 1536 x 1536 resolution with HDR that can capture a head-to-toe view of your porch — including package notifications if you pay for Ring’s subscription.
  • Amazon’s Smart Plug is a very simple way to add some smart functionality to conventional devices around your house, and Amazon has it for just $12.99 ($12 off) through Prime Big Deal Days.

Amazon’s new Echo Hub is kind of like a small Fire tablet you mount on your wall that gives you full-time access to all your smart home controls. It’s got an eight-inch touchscreen and support for Matter and Thread. Read our review.

The 1080p Blink Mini 2 adds weather resistance to the affordable security camera, so you can use it both indoors and out, while continuing to offer a ball-and-socket mount for easy mounting to a wall. It has the option of local storage with a Sync Module or cloud storage and features like person detection for $3 a month. Read our review.

  • The Blink Wired Floodlight Camera is the best budget-friendly model you can get, and that makes sense because it sports 1080p video and bright 2,600-lumen lights all for just $59.99 ($30 off) at Amazon. That’s a new low for the affordable floodlight, which also offers motion detection, two-way audio, and added smart notifications if you pay for Blink’s subscription.
  • The Amazon Smart Thermostat is selling for $55.99 ($24 off) at Amazon. It’s not as good a deal as its all-time low of about $42 (from a time when it used to sell new for $60), but the smart thermo offers a very affordable way to smarten up your home HVAC. It uses Alexa Hunches to try and predict your habits and efficiently heat / cool your home, letting you save on your monthly utility bill. Read our review.
