UPDATE: Sep. 16, 2024, 1:00 a.m. EDT This story has been updated with the latest information about Prime Big Deal Days 2024, which has officially been announced for October.
We can hardly believe it too: another Prime Day is coming. Just as we’ve seen the past few years, Amazon is bringing back Prime Big Deal Days, its October sale event that’s essentially another Prime Day. This comes just three months after July’s Prime Day, which brought some decent deals, but admittedly, didn’t blow us away.
That being said, we’re looking ahead to what a new event brings. Amazon just announced that Prime Big Deal Days will run from Oct. 8 through Oct. 9 this year, and we’re keeping our eyes peeled in the meantime for the best deals ahead of the event. Because even when there isn’t a big sale event, there are always live deals ready.

When is Amazon Prime day?
Back in August, Amazon announced that Prime Big Deal Days would be in October, and the mega-retailer just confirmed our suspicions that October Prime Day will fall on Oct. 8 and Oct. 9 in 2024. The event will run for a full 48 hours, and we’re already seeing early deals popping up.
What kind of deals can you find this year?
If you’re familiar with Prime Day, you know what to expect. Two days of glorious deals on almost every product imaginable including headphones, tablets, laptops, robot vacuums, and the list goes on and on. While these sale events sometimes have a lot of junk brands from third parties to avoid, there are also plenty of products from our favorite retailers including Apple, Beats, Eufy, and more.
Best Apple Deal

Apple iPad, 9th generation, 10.2-inch (A13, 64GB, WiFi)
at Amazon
$329.00
Save $130.00
Why we like it
The iPad 9th generation has dropped down to the spectacular price of $199, the cheapest price we’ve ever seen on this iPad and any iPad ever really. So while it isn’t the latest generation, it is the most affordable.
This tablet comes with the A13 chip, a powerful processor that lets you stream, browse the internet, and even game. Normally $329, the sweet price of $199 saves you $130 for 40% off. The price has been hanging around for a few weeks now, but there’s no guarantee it will last until Prime Big Deals Day.
Best Amazon Echo Deal

Amazon Echo Show 8
at Amazon
$149.99
Save $45.00
Why we like it
The Amazon Echo Show 8 works as a smart home hub that’s more than just a speaker. With a four-inch by eight-inch screen, it displays music, recipes, and even video calls with its built-in camera. Plus, if you want to stream your favorite Prime Video content while cooking, the Echo Show can do that too on its HD display.
Now down to $104.99, you can find the Amazon Echo Show 8 for 30% off. That saves you $45 before Prime Day’s dates are officially announced.
Best headphone deal

Beats Fit Pro
at Amazon
$199.95
Save $40.95
Why we like it
There are plenty of great headphones out there, and we’ve tested a lot of them. But when you’re looking for something specific, like a set of headphones for working out, you’ve got to look to the particulars. The Beats Fit Pro are fantastic for working out, with easy touch controls to pause music or end calls. Plus a secure fit will keep them in your ears from start to finish of your workout.
These are fantastic earbuds, Mashable’s Alex Perry even said they’re better than AirPods. And now you can find them for $159, cheaper than the AirPods Pro with all the same features. That saves you $40.95 for 20% off.
Best TV and streaming deal
Opens in a new window
Amazon Fire Stick TV 4K
at Amazon
$49.99
Save $20.00
Why we like it
Is the Amazon Fire Stick 4K the best streamer we’ve ever tested? No, Roku takes the cake there. However, it still works perfectly fine, and not to mention, it’s hard to turn away from its delightful $30 price tag ahead of Prime Day. Having tested the Amazon Fire Stick TV, set-up is easy, as simple as plugging it into an HDMI port in the back of your TV.
While the home screen is a little clunky and slow, full of ads and promotion for Prime Video content, it is a dream for those who primarily stream on the site. Now it’s down to $29.99, saving you $20 and 40% off.
Best robot vacuum deal
Opens in a new window
Eufy X10 Pro Omni Robot Vacuum
at Amazon
$799.99
Save $120.00
Why we like it
Back in July, Mashable’s Leah Stodart wrote about her favorite Prime Day deal on the Eufy X10 Pro Omni Robot Vacuum. While Roombas usually get the most love when it comes to robot vacuums, the Eufy is a powerful competitor especially the X10 Pro Omni, which works as a dual vacuum and mop.
Stodart notes that unlike the iRobot Roomba j9+, the X10 Pro Omni self-washes and dries its mopping pads, ensuring your floors are getting thoroughly scrubbed and cleaned. Ahead of Prime Day, it’s down to $679.99, saving you $120 for 15% off.
