Top Prime Big Deal Days deals right now

Amazon shuts off Prime Big Deal Days at 11:59pm PT tonight, or 2:59am ET on Thursday, October 8, so these prices have a few hours left. The picks we’d steer people toward first are things that get used every week: AirPods Pro 3 for $179, a Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra that dropped another $30 since our morning check, and robot vacuums from Roborock and iRobot that mop as well as vacuum. We rechecked every deal on this page Wednesday evening. Nearly all of them are holding, and we pulled the handful that sold through or went back up during the day. Many of these prices need Prime, and a free 30-day Prime trial covers what’s left of the sale.

Update, 7:45pm ET, Wednesday, October 7: The sale is in its final hours, and we rechecked every price on this page. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra dropped to $949.99 and no longer needs Prime, and the Logitech MX Master 3S dropped to $75.99 for Prime members. The Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2 and EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro prices are now open to everyone. We removed the Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum and the Shark Vertex upright, which are now sold only by a third-party seller at higher prices, the Ninja DualZone air fryer and the YETI Rambler mug, whose deals ended, and the Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool, which Amazon no longer has in stock.

Update, 11:30am ET, Wednesday, October 7: This is the last day of the sale. We rechecked every price on this page and added 12 new deals, including a Samsonite Freeform luggage set for $175, the Shark FlexStyle hair styler and Anker’s SOLIX C2000 Gen 2 power station. The Google Pixel 11 Pro dropped to $834, and the Nest Thermostat dropped to $85.49. We removed the KitchenAid bowl-lift mixer, which is out of stock, along with the Fire HD 8 Kids Pro and the Instant Pot Duo, whose deals ended.

Update, 6:45pm ET, Tuesday, October 6: We rechecked every price on this page and added nine new deals, including the Ultimate Ears BOOM 4 speaker and the Logitech MX Master 3S mouse from our Logitech deals post, two YETI coolers, and three Moultrie trail cameras. We removed five deals that ended or are no longer available at their sale price: the Dyson V8, the Blink Mini Pan-Tilt Camera, the Ooni Karu 2, the iRobot Roomba 105X Combo and Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

Update, 2:15pm ET, Tuesday, October 6: We rechecked every price on this page and added 21 new deals, including a new phone section with the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and Google Pixel 11 Pro, Roborock and Dyson vacuums, an Ooni pizza oven, and Nintendo Switch 2 gear. Beats Studio Pro went up to $149.95. We removed three deals that ended, plus a camera that’s now available only from a third-party seller with a few left.

Update, 9:15am ET, Tuesday, October 6: We rechecked every price on this page, and all of them are holding. We added power station and camera sections, more Anker chargers, and links to all of our category deal posts.

If you carry an iPhone, AirPods Pro 3 pair with it in one tap and move between your Apple devices without a trip to Bluetooth settings. Apple builds active noise cancellation into them, so they work as well on a plane as they do on a walk. They’re $70 off, and you don’t need Prime.
