    Another huge Amazon sale for Prime members has officially come to a close. This year, Prime Big Deal Days (aka “October Prime Day”) ran Oct. 6 and 7, and while the 48-hour event is officially over, a handful of lingering discounts are still up for grabs.

    The best October Prime Day deals provided some much-needed relief from the RAMageddon price hikes impacting the tech industry. Amazon recently increased prices on nearly two dozen Kindles, Fire TV Sticks, Echo smart speakers, and eero routers because of rising component costs. Seasonal sales like Prime Big Deal Days (and later Black Friday) help cancel out some of those markups.

    While the official event has wrapped up, we’re keeping an eye out for any leftover post-Prime Day savings that haven’t expired yet. You can also check out our guides to the best October Prime Day tech deals, kitchen deals, and outdoor deals to see what remaining discounts you can still score.

    How we choose Prime Day deals

    Mashable shopping reporters and editors regularly review the latest products from brands like Apple, Bose, Kindle, Ninja, Nintendo, Sony, and Samsung. We’ve also been covering major shopping events like Prime Big Deal Days for almost a decade.

    Before recommending a deal, we use price-tracking tools like CamelCamelCamel to check its price history, and we prioritize record-low discounts. We also check prices at other retailers (big-box stores like Target, Walmart, and Best Buy are also hosting fall sales right now), so we can point you to the lowest price at any given moment, even if it’s not at Amazon.

    Bose QuietComfort Headphones (1st Gen) ✅
    $169at Amazon
    $359Save $190
     

    Why we like it

    For October Prime Day, you can save 53% on the first-generation Bose QuietComfort Noise-Cancelling Headphones. Now, to be clear, these are not the newest version of these popular headphones, but it’s really hard to argue with a discount like this. These headphones are incredibly comfy even after hours of use, and they offer true active noise-cancellation.

    We also have to call out the first-ever deal on the new version of these headphones, the Bose QuietComfort (2nd Gen). Mashable’s audio expert Bethany Allard says they offer the best possible combination of comfort, noise cancellation, sound quality, and value in the entire headphones category, full stop. Currently, they’re $319, down from $359 — a $40 saving that makes them an even better value. Read our full review of the Bose QuietComfort Headphones (2nd Gen).

    Why we like it

    We found 21 Apple products at record-low prices for Prime Day, which is more than we expected to be frank! But our top pick was a Prime Day classic. The basic AirPods just got an upgrade with the new AirPods 5, but last year’s Apple AirPods Pro 3 are back on sale. During the sale, the AirPods Pro 3 dropped to $179 — $70 off their $249 list price. Now that the sale is over, the price has risen to $199, now only $50 off the MSRP.

    These famous Apple earbuds have ANC, a more comfortable fit, and support for live translation with a compatible iPhone. They’re a good pick for commuters and even measure your heart rate during workouts.

    $199.99at Amazon
    $329.99Save $130
     

    Why we like it

    Prime Big Deal Days is a 48-hour sale, and Amazon is dropping new deals throughout the event. And the latest “Today’s Big Deals” drop from Amazon includes one of the best Prime Day TV deals we’ve seen yet. If you’re looking for a budget set, this Toshbia Fire TV has a 43-inch QLED display, and it’s never been priced this low before.

    As everything else gets more expensive, somehow flat-screen TVs keep getting cheaper. So, for those of us who can’t afford to drop $1,500 on a premium OLED TV, we don’t have to settle too much. This 4K TV features an HDR10+ display and supports Dolby Vision, which is pretty good for a TV under $200.

    Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe Coffee Machine
    $133.99at Amazon
    $199.95Save $65.96
     

    If your morning routine centers around iced lattes or a quick espresso shot, this bundle gives you a legit cafe-level setup without taking over your entire countertop. The Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe packs Nespresso’s single-touch brewing into an ultra-compact footprint, spinning pods at high speeds to pull rich, crema-topped espresso or full-sized coffee mugs in seconds. Plus, the Deluxe version adds a bigger side water tank, so you’re not constantly running to the sink between brews.

    The real star here is the included Aeroccino3 milk frother. Instead of buying a frother separately to make lattes, this bundle gives you one-touch hot- or cold-foam for cappuccinos and iced drinks right out of the box. Grabbing the machine-and-frother combo in Matte Black Gold is an absolute steal for upgrading your morning coffee with zero hassle before this Prime deal vanishes.

    Why we like it

    Whether you’re gearing up for tailgate season, a weekend fishing trip, or just need to keep a mountain of drinks icy for a backyard party, this massive Coleman cooler is a total workhorse. Its 100-quart capacity holds up to 160 cans, while the fully insulated body keeps ice frozen for up to five days. Plus, the outer shell has a built-in UV coating so it won’t crack in the sun.

    Built for rough outdoor use, it packs rust-resistant hardware, rugged 6-inch wheels for dragging across sand or dirt, and a leakproof drain plug. The reinforced lid even doubles as a seat that supports up to 250 pounds and comes with built-in cup holders. Getting this much heavy-duty cooler space for under $100 is an absolute steal before the discount vanishes.

    Why we like it

    “Bluetti is bringing out some of my favorite portable power stations lately. For starters, the Bluetti FridgePower can keep your refrigerator cooling for up to 20 hours during an outage. But I’m especially excited about the new Bluetti Elite 100 mini.

    I love the single handle built into the side of this model. I find it much easier to carry compared to the pop-up handle that goes down the middle of many power stations. Plus, Bluetti’s built-in LED light on the warm setting is perfect for evening illumination.” — Lauren Allain, Mashable Contributor

    Why we like it

    “Year after year, this Shark stick vacuum is one of the best Prime Day deals on vacuums, and I’m glad to see it back on sale for Prime Big Deal Days. One of our former reporters swore by this vacuum, calling it a literal ‘game-changer’ for his dog-hair-filled New York City apartment. It has a brush head that’s designed to make pet hair disappear, and you can’t go wrong with a 50% discount, can you?” Timothy Werth, Mashable Tech Editor

(As a tech editor, I take a lotof photos and videos.) Thanks to RAMageddon, you have to take any opportunity you can find to save on portable SSDs, flash drives, microSD cards, and hard drives. Already, some of SanDisk’s most popular memory products are on sale, like their microSD Express card for the Switch 2 and the new version of their popular Extreme drive.” — Timothy Werth, Mashable Tech Editor

    Why we like it

    Building the iconic Millennium Falcon is already a rite of passage for any Star Wars fan, but this 885-piece set upgrades the classic build with Lego’s interactive Smart Play system. On its own, it’s a detailed, screen-accurate model featuring fold-out top panels for interior play, stud shooters, and four minifigures — Han Solo, Chewbacca, Luke Skywalker, and C-3PO.

    What makes this release special are the built-in Smart Tags. When paired with a Lego Smart Brick (from an All-In-One set), the ship instantly responds with authentic sound effects and dynamic lights as kids play—bringing lightsaber duels and hyperdrive jumps to life.

It’s easy to learn gameplay, has a few fun twists, and it’s a great geography lesson, too.” — Lauren Allain, Mashable Contributor

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Wondering how long Prime Day deals last in 2026? This year, Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event ends promptly at 11:59 p.m. PT on Wednesday, Oct. 7 (that’s 2:59 a.m. ET on Oct. 8 for East Coasters).

    Absolutely. Amazon, and the brands that sell on Amazon, drop thousands of deals for the fall Prime Big Deal Days sale, and we’ve found lots of genuine price drops, including on newly released products that have never been discounted before. The discounts may not always be as big as we would like, but there are lots of opportunities to save.

    On the other hand, you have to factor in all of the price increases we’ve seen in 2026. For example, the M5 MacBook Air from Apple is $200 for a sale price of $1,099. However, that was the product’s original launch price back in March. So, the Prime Day deal effectively erases the recent price increase.

    In our years of experience covering Prime Day, we tend to find the largest discounts on premium TVs, Amazon’s Echo, Blink, and Ring devices, and past-gen products like the Sony XM5 noise-cancelling headphones. However, the biggest discounts aren’t necessarily the best deals overall. For our money, we look for deals on Apple products (we’ve found 22 Apple products at record-low prices during the October Prime Day event), Kindle e-readers, and TVs.

    Prime Big Deal Days is an annual shopping event hosted by Amazon in early October, and it’s become the unofficial start to the Black Friday and holiday shopping season. Informally, many people call this event “October Prime Day,” but that’s just a nickname.

    This year’s sale started on Tuesday, Oct. 6, and ends at midnight on Wednesday, Oct. 7. Amazon sales typically begin and end around 3 a.m. ET.

    Technically, Amazon only hosts its marquee Prime Day sale once a year in the summer. However, it also holds two other Prime-exclusive events in the spring and fall. Prime Big Deal Days is the latter.

    Prime Big Deal Days (aka October Prime Day) is the last Prime Day event before the holiday season. However, Amazon will host a Black Friday sale, which won’t be exclusive to Prime members.
