Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is well underway, which means millions of products are now on sale at Amazon. Not sure what to buy? We’ve got you.

We test thousands of products each year to bring you the best of the best, and so many of our favorites are under $100 thanks to October Prime Day. We’d recommend you buy these at full price, so now that they’re on sale at Amazon, there’s truly no better time to shop.

Amazon Prime Day ends on Wednesday, October 9, so it’s not too late to grab some of the best beauty, home, and kitchen deals. Many require a Prime membership, which you can try out for free for 30 days.

We even spotted our favorite Keurig on sale for just $65. Brewing as much as 10 ounces in as little as two minutes, the 5-inch-wide coffee maker lives up to its name and our high expectations.

Best Amazon Home Deals

The best home products just make life easier, and we’ve spent thousands of hours in the lab to separate the truly great from the gimmicky. Whether it’s a powerful wet-dry vacuum that cuts down on cleaning time, comfortable bedding that gives you hotel-quality sleep, or an artificial Christmas tree that’s easy to set up, these are just what you need to spruce up your space before the holiday hosting season begins.

$30 at Amazon

We like that this budget-friendly car vacuum comes with two attachments and operates quietly. Amazon shoppers seem to agree with us: “I'm very impressed with the suction power AND how quiet it is at the same time,” one wrote in a review.

$100 $60 at Amazon

Yes, you can get a Shark vacuum for well under $100 during Prime Day. This convenient alternative to traditional vacuum and mops weighs only 3 pounds, and we like that you can remove the grimy mop pads without touching them when you’re done cleaning.

Best Amazon Kitchen Deals

We test kitchen products with home chefs in mind, looking for budget-friendly tools that make meal prep and family dinners just a little bit easier. And on Amazon Prime Day, so many of them are now even more affordable. That includes our favorite grill pan from Lodge, which we couldn’t find any issue with during our testing period.

With the holidays just around the corner, now’s the time to upgrade outdated kitchen appliances and cookware.

$107 $99 at Amazon

Remember when you had to run out to get ice? This sleek countertop ice maker makes entertaining a breeze, quietly producing 1.5 pounds of ice in just an hour. We particularly liked how enjoyable it was to chew on the bullet ice this machine produced.

$90 $60 at Amazon

This slim Keurig machine is perfect for dorm rooms, apartments, and anyone who only needs one cup of coffee at a time. It’s also the most affordable Keurig coffee maker we tested.

More of the Best Amazon Prime Deals

Can’t stop shopping? Neither can we. We’ve found even more deals on the best products we’ve tested, including comfortable walking shoes and Apple AirTags, which shoppers just can’t stop buying this Prime Day. Plus, one of the best underseat suitcases we’ve tested is ready to go wherever the holiday season takes you. Even household items you buy regularly are on sale, like cat litter.

Stock up on the best clumping cat litter while it’s on sale. As our cats tested this cat litter in our homes, we noted how well it minimized odor. It also made cleanup a breeze.

Apple AirTag 4-Pack

$99 $80 at Amazon

With all the uses we’ve found for AirTags, you’ll be glad you bought a four-pack. In fact, Johnson swore she’d “never travel again without an Apple AirTag attached to my suitcase” in her review.

AirTags have not only earned themselves a spot among our best luggage trackers, but we also found the AirTag to be one of the best dog GPS trackers we tested, as well. So grab one for your keys, your luggage, and your pets while they’re $20 off.
