Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is here, offering discounts on Amazon devices during the 48-hour sale, exclusive to Prime members. You can also find deals on vacuums, Apple devices and TVs and more.
I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a freelance writer for NBC Select, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts to find the best October Prime Day Amazon device deals — each one I recommend below is highly rated, at least 20% off and at its lowest price in at least three months. I’ll frequently update this list throughout Prime Big Deal Days.
SKIP AHEAD Best Prime Day Amazon device deals | How I picked the best Amazon device deals | Why trust NBC Select?
3.9-star average rating from 9,304 reviews on Amazon
Amazon’s Echo Buds were at their lowest price ever on the last Prime Big Deal Day, and are well worth a look this time around. These true wireless earbuds come with 20 hours of battery life, fast charging and Alexa voice controls.
4.6-star average rating from 13,217 reviews on Amazon
The Echo Show 8 is a compact smart display with an 8-inch touchscreen and smart control hub, with Alexa integration and compatibility with Matter, Thread and Zigbee smart home standards. Its built-in 13-megapixel camera is adept at video calls, with an auto-framing feature to ensure the camera is always focusing on the right thing.
4.6-star average rating from 3,399 reviews on Amazon
This Fire HD Kids Pro Tablet has kid-friendly content restrictions, a one-year subscription to Amazon Kids+ programming, a filtered web browser and a slim protective case for kids aged 6-12. It also has a 13-hour battery life and comes in three other vibrant colors.
4.5-star average rating from 34,510 reviews on Amazon
Amazon devices often work best in tandem with each other — and this bundle deal throws in both a Blink Mini smart camera and an Echo Show 5 smart display, which you can use to view your video feed elsewhere in the home, alongside native apps for Amazon Music, Spotify and Prime Video.
4.4-star average rating from 17,289 reviews on Amazon
You can get huge savings on the Amazon Fire HD 8, a portable tablet with a 13-hour battery life, Full HD resolution, built-in Alexa and plenty of streaming apps and services (Netflix, Disney+, TikTok) through Amazon’s Fire platform. There’s 64GB of onboard storage for photos, apps and videos, too.
4.5-star average rating from 8,408 reviews on Amazon
This edition of the Amazon Fire HD 8 is best for those after a kid-friendly tablet, with ad-free content, parental controls for screen time or app access, and a shock-proof case that should survive being dropped or scuffed by children aged 3-7.
4.2-star average rating from 3,131 reviews on Amazon
This stereo Amazon soundbar can offer a step up from basic built-in TV speakers, ramping up the volume and ensuring you can hear what’s going on in films, TV shows and more. There are few features and no Fire TV platform — you’ll need a Fire TV Stick for that — but as an entry-level soundbar, it’s worth picking up for this October Amazon Prime Day.
4.8-star average rating from 25 reviews on Amazon
This Echo Pop Kids edition offers fun designs by Marvel or Disney, alongside age-appropriate content restrictions and parental controls for its smart home and audio call functionality. It’s designed for kids aged 3-12, and a purchase includes a six-month subscription to Amazon Kids+, with games, audiobooks and more.
4.5-star average rating from 38,974 reviews on Amazon
This 50-inch TV has a 4K Ultra HD picture, which has a brighter, clearer and more vivid picture than 1080 Full HD, according to the brand. It’s also equipped with voice control so you can ask Alexa to find or launch content, check the weather or activate your other Alexa-enabled devices — for instance, you can use it to lower the lights or check your front-door camera.
All of my recommendations above are based on NBC Select’s previous coverage and reporting. I also included products the NBC Select staff tested, including Wellness Award, Travel Award, Pet Award, Bed & Bath Award and Giftable Tech Award winners. I ran each deal through price trackers like CamelCamelCamel to ensure products are at their lowest price in at least three months. All the products I recommend are highly rated with at least a 4.0-star average rating from hundreds of reviews.
I’m a reporter for NBC Select who has covered deals and sales on tablets, TVs, speakers and wearables for NBC, iMore, and TechRadar, where I previously worked as the Home Cinema Editor and tested countless televisions and accessories. To round up the best Prime Day sales on TVs, I found highly-rated products at their lowest price ever or their lowest price in three months.
