The best early October Prime Day deals happening now
It’s not even October yet and Amazon is already offering some Prime Big Deal Day discounts on its own hardware, along with plenty of other popular products. It’s all to hype up October Prime Day, which starts October 6th at 3AM ET and lasts through 3AM ET on the 8th if you’re on the East Coast (12AM PT).
October Prime Day offers a glimpse of deals that will likely be available again during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. So, with the holiday shopping season officially underway, you can get some of your shopping out of the way before things get busier as we approach the holidays.
The most recent update to this post on October 1st added a couple of Belkin deals, plus a discount on a capable 1440p USB-C monitor. This post will be updated a couple more times ahead of October 6th as new deals become available.
Belkin Qi2.2 25W 2-in-1 foldable charging dock
Slap a recent iPhone onto this charging pad and it’ll charge at fast 25W speeds. It can also charge AirPods, and includes a cord and wall adapter.
Where to Buy:
Belkin Charging Case for Nintendo Switch 2
The case features an integrated power bank and a small pocket to stow an AirTag (or other similarly sized Bluetooth tracker).
Where to Buy:
Asus ProArt 27-inch 1440p USB-C monitor
An affordable color-accurate monitor that can easily connect to a MacBook or Windows machine that has USB-C video support. It’s a good price for a fully-featured 1440p monitor.
Where to Buy:
Belkin MagSafe 15W 2-in-1 wireless charging dock
A slick 2-in-1 charger that can charge your magnet-friendly iPhone or Pixel at a relatively speedy pace. Its extra charging pad supports AirPods, the Apple Watch, and other Qi-ready accessories.
Where to Buy:
Ring Battery Doorbell 2K
At more than half-off, the second-gen version is a good deal if you want 2K video and easy installation. However, its battery is built-in, so you’ll need to disconnect the doorbell to charge via USB-C.
Where to Buy:
Bissell ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro Plus carpet cleaner
Bissell’s Little Green is handy, but doesn’t cut it for big jobs. If you have pets and a lot of carpet to clean, this is one of the most powerful upright carpet cleaners in its price range.
Where to Buy:
Ring Floodlight Cam 2K
This model requires wired power, and provides 2K resolution (with AI tuning) and 6x digital zoom. It’s bright (2,000 lumens), and provides a loud alarm if you need to use it.
Where to Buy:
Ring Battery Doorbell 4K Pro
The highest-end battery-powered option of the lineup. It can record in 4K with 10x digital zoom, and its battery can be swapped for another as it recharges.
Where to Buy:
Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet
The eight-inch tablet with lockscreen ads has 4GB RAM (respectable for streaming apps and mobile games), plus 64GB of storage and a microSD slot for viewing locally-stored media. This model doesn’t support Google Play Store, though it’s easy to sideload it.
Where to Buy:
Ecovacs Deebot X12 OmniCyclone
The X12 OmniCyclone uses AI to identify and blast stains to help ensure they’re properly cleaned with minimal passes. It includes a dock, which empties the vac, washes its rolling mop with heated, pressurized water, and refills its reservoirs.
Where to Buy:
Blink Mini pan and tilt camera
The panning and tilting accessory gives the Blink Mini some new powers, including 360-degree control via the Blink app. Also included is the camera, which is usually $25 by itself.
