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
Ninja Crispi 4-in-1 Glass Air Fryer
Ninja Crispi 4-in-1 Glass Air Fryer none-selected
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.

Nutribullet Pro+ Personal Blender 1200W
Nutribullet Pro+ Personal Blender 1200W none-selected
Now 38% off, the souped up version of our favorite on-the-go blender is your ultimate gym buddy or purveyor of fall-friendly soups with its ability to churn out textures that rival its pricier counterparts. Deal ends 7 October.

Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker
Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker none-selected
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.

De’Longhi Rivelia
De’Longhi Rivelia none-selected
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
Breville Joule Turbo Sous Vide Machine none-selected
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
KitchenAid Artisan Tilt Head Stand Mixer none-selected
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
Bissell Little Green Multi-Purpose Portable Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner
Bissell Little Green Multi-Purpose Portable Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner none-selected
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.

Shark NeverChange Air Purifier
Shark NeverChange Air Purifier none-selected
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.
***
Amazon Eero 7 Wi-Fi Router
Amazon Eero 7 Wi-Fi Router none-selected
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”.
***
Amazon Fire TV Stick
Amazon Fire TV Stick none-selected
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.

Best travel deals
Philips Norelco OneBlade Pro 360 Face + Body Trimmer + Shaver
Philips Norelco OneBlade Pro 360 Face + Body Trimmer + Shaver none-selected
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)”.

Best apparel deals
Le Bop Women’s Drew Pants
Le Bop Women’s Drew Pants none-selected
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 23% off.
***
Ugg Goldenstar Sandal
Ugg Goldenstar Sandal none-selected
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
Ulike Air 10
Ulike Air 10 none-selected
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
Shark FlexStyle none-selected
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.)
