Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, live on 6 and 7 October, is the Super Bowl of online shopping. While the e-commerce behemoth just hosted another Prime Day in June, consumerism never sleeps and there are still genuinely good deals to be found, although some are exclusive to Amazon Prime members. But if parsing through thousands of deals isn’t your jam, fear not, because it’s ours.
As veteran consumer journalists, we’ve taken the time to find out what’s really worth the spend, from expert-vetted tech gadgets to make every day a little easier to rigorously tested kitchen scores that help put dinner on the table quickly. Here are the top Prime Deals to shop from brands you know and love such as KitchenAid, Ninja, Bissell, Ugg and more.
Best kitchen deals
Our Place Titanium Always Pan Pro
When my chef husband is impressed with my cooking, the Titanium Always Pan Pro is often behind it. This non-toxic, nonstick pan earned top marks in testing at Drexel Food Lab for its ability to withstand unprecedented levels of high heat.
Vitamix 5200
Kitchen expert Marian Bull found that the Vitamix 5200 made “luscious” and “vibrant” soups, smoothies and dips in her testing of the best blenders worth buying. And now, with the help of this 30%-off deal, you can, too.
Our Place Wonder Oven Pro
When food experts from Drexel Food Lab put the pretty (and very functional) Wonder Oven Pro through its paces, they were impressed by its ability to make restaurant-worthy fries, nuggets and “evenly baked cookies with perfect chew”. At 22% off – $66 lower than it’s ever been priced.
Anyday 2-Pack 2-Cup Glass Food Storage Set
If your food storage isn’t pulling double duty, it might be time for an upgrade. “Perhaps most appealing [about plastic-free, non-toxic Anyday containers] was the fact that I could store and cook in the same vessel, then put all the parts into the dishwasher when I was done,” of this 30%-off set, according to kitchen expert Emily Farris.
Ninja Crispi 4-in-1 Glass Air Fryer
This non-toxic air fryer might just help curb that takeout habit, whether you’re reheating leftovers or looking for an appliance that’s straightforward and effective, according to our tests performed in a food lab. What’s more, its main cooking vessels are completely Pfas-free and plastic-free. It’s now on offer for its lowest price. Deal ends 25 October.
Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker
If you often crave frozen sweet treats and wish you could make them at home, this Filter-vetted ice-cream maker is 23% off. “The Creami stands out because it makes homemade ice-cream genuinely achievable – even for the most reluctant cooks,” said Danielle Amato, a tester, in the Filter UK’s best ice-cream makers guide. Ninja has dropped its price to $180 a few times, but this is the lowest we’ve seen it since Prime Day in June.
Espro P3 French Press Coffee Maker
If you’d rather not spend half your paycheck on great coffee, trust a coffee expert to steer you toward the Espro P3 French press, now at its lowest price ever at 30% off: “It’s actually very good,” Filter UK coffee enthusiast Sam Mueller says “The dual filters hold back more sludge than all the other brand’s cafetières, and that means you get a slightly cleaner cup.”
De’Longhi Rivelia
If you’ve ever wanted to own a fancy barista-worthy espresso maker with an easy touchscreen interface and customizable froth levels, now’s your chance. The best bean-to-cup coffee machine our Filter UK expert Sasha Muller has ever tested is at its all-time low price – $200 less than its Prime Day price in June, and a bit lower than Black Friday last year.
Breville Joule Turbo Sous Vide Machine
When I gifted this sous vide machine to my chef husband, I thought he was going to propose again. I don’t have a second ring to show for it, but I am spoiled with restaurant-worthy succulent proteins on the regular. It’s now 40% off, nearing its lowest price of $142 during Prime Day in June.
KitchenAid Artisan Tilt Head Stand Mixer
You don’t need to be a professional baker to benefit from the KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer, the best stand mixer the Filter UK has ever tested, now 24% off. As an amateur baking enthusiast, I love mine. It helps me serve impressive baked goods any time I have guests over. It’s often discounted, but only gets this low a few times per year.
Best home deals
Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum
Dyson’s V8 cordless vacuum is a trusty workhorse that’ll still get the job done with a respectable 40-minute run time and powerful suction capable of tackling a range of surfaces, as consumer tech editor Samuel Gibbs found in testing. It’s now 31% off – a pretty solid deal.
Bissell Little Green Multi-Purpose Portable Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner
If it weren’t for my trusty sidekick with strong spraying, scrubbing and suction powers, my home would look (and smell!) far more unappealing than it does with two kids and two pets. In the four years since I have bought the Bissell, which most recently sat at $99.99 in August, it’s more than paid for itself in the professional cleaning services I have avoided booking.
Yale Assure Lock 2
If you’re willing to forgo the fingerprint function in the smart lock contributor Jon Bintner recommends, its counterpart with the same keypad and app mechanism is now $100 off.
Bugaboo Donkey 6 Single-to-Double Convertible Stroller
When my toddler panicked at the sight of her newborn brother sitting in her stroller a couple weeks ago, I knew we needed a better setup. This beast of a stroller lets them sit solo or side-by-side and at 20% off – an all-time low – it’s a great deal for a piece of gear that’ll last the better part of a decade.
Cozy Earth Bamboo Stretch-Knit Long Sleeve Pajama Set
A dream to wear for sleep or lounging, “the brand’s signature bamboo viscose fabric provides comforting coverage without overheating the body during everything from warm climates to hormone spikes,” I wrote in my review of Cozy Earth’s pajamas. Get a set for 20% off for year-round comfort.
Hatch Restore 3
As a mom to young kids, my sleep is sacred, and of all the gizmos and gadgets out there, none help me preserve it quite like the Hatch alarm clock. At 20% off, this is a relatively rare occurrence, so consider it for a better night’s rest.
Canopy Handheld Filtered Showerhead
When Stephen Treffinger tested Canopy’s handheld showerhead, its robust spray and genuine skin-improving qualities were impressive enough for it to be crowned the best overall in the category. Your shower (and you!) deserve this upgrade — especially at 23% off.
Eufy Security Video Doorbell E340
My dual-camera Eufy video doorbell (now at 33% off) offers a wide field of view, offering a full picture of visitors as well as visual proof of my packages actually arriving. Tech contributor Andy Shaw appreciates its local storage, so you can skip the pricey subscription format.
Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt Lock
After a break-in last year, I am now obsessive about smart home upgrades that make me feel safer in my own home. Since adding the Schlage Encode to my front door, I’ve felt infinitely more at ease. Get a little peace of mind for 20% off.
Flaus Electric Flosser
With the Filter-favorite Flaus electric flosser, now at 25% off, flossing might just become less of a chore and a natural extension of your oral hygiene routine. “I use it twice a day, every day, and sometimes come back for more after meals,” said contributor Tobey Grumet Segal.
Drowsy Eyelash-Protecting Sleep Mask
Drowsy’s luxurious silk eyelash-protecting mask has the appeal of a “self-care ritual” and helped tester Juno DeMelo unlock a whole new level of sleep quality. At 30% off, this is truly a great deal.
Manta Original Sleep Mask
If your curtains aren’t doing their job, Manta’s best-tested customizable sleep mask is 15% off (its lowest to date) and will surely help you get a good night’s rest. A clinical sleep psychologist even suggests it as a good solution for those sleeping alongside partners with different schedules.

My life changed when I realized I could restore my wrinkled clothes back to their smooth glory with this convenient garment steamer in just 20 minutes – no bulky iron and board required. Grab it while it’s 24% off.
Shark NeverChange Air Purifier
If you’re looking to optimize your respiratory health, the Shark NeverChange air purifier is now much cheaper than its usual $200 sale price. It has easy-to-clean filters, an intuitive air quality display and a “Febreze-like nebulizer that can mask odors and fill the room with a fresh scent”, according to Jon Chan, a tester, who named it one of the three best air purifiers.
Best tech deals
Amazon Eero 7 Wi-Fi Router
Don’t let pesky wifi lag keep you from excelling at your job or binge-watching content to your heart’s content. Instead, invest in a discounted version of the mesh router Nick Mokey, a Filter editor, relies on for “fast, reliable wifi, without dead zones”.

Write, read and browse (with limits) from a tablet with a screen size that’s big enough to be useful without feeling cumbersome – all at its lowest price ever. Live Oct. 4 to 8

It’s the “closest model so far to what is the holy grail of smartwatch makers – a watch which you never have to plug into the charger,” said Gibbs.
Amazon Fire TV Stick
Between its integrated voice controls, easy setup and ability to display “absolutely stunning” high definition content, it’s no wonder this value-packed streaming stick gets rave reviews from Samuel Gibbs, the Guardian’s consumer tech editor. It’s only hit this all-time low price of 60% off once before.

Keen Men’s Targhee 4 Waterproof Hiking Boots
Conquer slick city sidewalks or the gnarliest switchbacks of your choosing in this pair of gift-worthy hiking boots, now nearly half off and their lowest price. “They are well crafted, neatly designed, waterproof and capable of taking on any conditions,” said Guardian sports writer Giles Richards.
Philips Norelco OneBlade Pro 360 Face + Body Trimmer + Shaver
This is a rare discount. Looking to stay smooth on the go? Our colleagues at the Filter UK named this the best beard trimmer for traveling and it’s 28% off, the lowest we have seen it for a year. Edward Munn, a tester, called it “lightweight and inconspicuous (meaning it’s perfect for chucking in your hand luggage)”.

Whether you’ve got a bucket list trip on the horizon or work a desk job, these Filter-vetted compression socks promise “to help with joint and muscle stiffness and avoid any blood pooling in your feet – all of which can happen if you sit still for too long,” according to travel expert Lydia Mansel.
Best fashion deals
Levi’s Men’s 501 Original Fit Jeans
You can’t put a price on a great pair of jeans you’ll wear literally every day – but 51% off is nothing to sneeze at. And, in an era when “Jeans have never been more confusing,” as Guardian UK deputyfashion andlifestyleeditorChloe Mac Donnell said, it’s nice to have a simple and easy to wear option.
Ray-Ban Zuri Sunglasses
Sunglasses protect your peepers while upgrading your entire look. And for something a bit more unexpected, consider these vouched-for Ray-Bans, now just shy of their lowest-ever price. “If you tend to go for classic tortoiseshell in a standard shape but want something a little different, [these frames] are in no way outlandish but are doing something a little more out of the ordinary,” according to contributor Ellie Violet Bramley.
JW Pei Joy Shoulder Bag
This fashion expert-approved shoulder bag is at its lowest price and if you’re in the market, this is a great bet. Associate fashion editor Jess Cartner-Morley calls it “A classy little number at an excellent price point, with adjustable straps and an inside pocket.”

These breezy pants were recommended by one stylist in our spring style refresh guide as a way to brighten up your wardrobe. If you’re not quite ready to say goodbye to summer, you can grab them for 20% off.
Ugg Goldenstar Sandal
Fun (in the sun) fact: the best time to buy sandals is when the leaves are changing colors. When I sought out to buy a pair as comfortable as sneakers, I landed on these, and my feet have never been happier thanks to their plush footbeds and adjustable straps. Grab them while they’re two-thirds of the price, the lowest they have ever been.
Best beauty deals
The Inkey List Caffeine Eye Cream
“I’ve gone through two or three tubes of the Inkey List’s effective and affordable Caffeine eye cream. My puffy eyes struggle to wake up without its star ingredient,” writes beauty editor Sabine Wiesel.
Cosrx Snail Mucin
This hydrating and affordable snail mucin serum, from K-beauty juggernaut Cosrx, is extremely effective, even if it is, in theory, a little gross“I know, I know, disgusting idea, but I swear it works,” according to the Guardian’s associate fashion editor Jess Cartner-Morley. “The brand says it’s ethically harvested.” Test your tolerance for slime at a very good price, as this product is now 40% off.
Foreo Bear 2
Zap your face (safely) at home with the facial microcurrent device contributor Tobey Grumet Segal calls “quick enough that it’s easy to use it consistently.” It’ll tighten and contour your delicate neck skin, and at 45% off, it’s worth the buy.
Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa Hair & Body Perfume Mist
As a fragrance snob who prefers to leave a subtle scent in my wake, I’m never fully dressed without a spritz of these intoxicating hair and body mists, now an all-time low of 20% off. Get one for yourself and for the young person in your life – they’re Gen Z-approved according to a recent Filter gift guide, should you need a little inspo this season.
Abib Mild pH Balancing Face Mask
Abib Mild pH Balancing Face Mask, 10-PackNow $20, originally $40 at Amazon “Every time I use one, my skin feels thoroughly soothed,” says Filter commissioning editor Karen Yuan of her favorite pH-balancing K-beauty face mask that you can now purchase on US soil. A pack of 10 is now half off for all your hydrating, calming and anti-inflammatory skin care needs.
Dyson Airwrap i.d.
If you’re a fiend for a good blowout, then the Filter-vetted Dyson Airwrap i.d. is certainly on your radar, and yes, we know, it’s expensive. A 30% discount might make this a little more enticing – and as contributor Juno DeMelo noted in her testing, it’s a tool that’s more convenient and better for curling.
Ulike Air 10
This Filter UK-approved (and, if you care, Kardashian-endorsed) Ulike hair removal device with a built-in cooling system is rarely discounted this steeply at 20% off. The only downside noted in its review was that it’s corded. Otherwise, it should help you feel smooth as a baby’s bottom ahead of your winter beach vacation.
Shark FlexStyle
Salon-worthy hairstyles don’t need to wait for special occasions. Our Filter US-favorite hair styler regularly bobs between $250 and $370, but it’s rare that it drops this low.
Why you should trust our recommendations
We work for our readers, rather than the brands we write about. Every item we recommend is something a Filter editor or contributor has personally tested and can vouch for. On occasion, we may present a close substitute from the same brand and explain any differences from the original.
We scour competing retailers for the lowest prices on any item, and we use price-tracking tools such as Camelcamelcamel to check price history and ensure the discounts are truly good value, rather than a faux markdown. (So, while we love sharing good deals, we also aren’t afraid to call out the unimpressive ones.)
