Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days kicks off Oct. 10 — hooray! But you can actually make out huge right now. The online retail giant has gifted us a slew of Early Access deals to pounce on, not to mention a harvest's worth of sitewide sales, including No. 1 bestselling Yankee Candles for 45% off, a highly rated 32-inch Fire TV for just $110 (gotta have something to watch the game on!) and a lightweight, cordless stick vac that's barely over $100. Plus, you'll find markdowns galore on beauty faves, home goods, Halloween decor and much more. So don't jump on that hayride just yet — your virtual cart awaits. Happy shopping!
Thinking about swapping your bulky upright vacuum for a sleek stick model, but don't want to shell out hundreds for a Dyson? This Fykee Cordless Vacuum is just the ticket, and it's priced just right ... by which we mean it's over 80% off with the added on-page coupon. Weighing less than 8 pounds, it's super portable, and its powerful motor (equipped with two suction modes) allows you to tackle messes big and small. The rotating floor brush is equipped with LED lights to ensure you don't miss a spot, and for higher areas, it conveniently transforms into a handheld. You get up to an estimated 35 minutes of runtime per charge.
"This vacuum is an amazing product," raved one happy cleaner. "It even comes with a hang-on-the-wall holder for the vacuum and all the attachments! The sound was surprisingly quiet, and it was lightweight as well. I like how all the attachments are self-explanatory in how they connect to the vacuum. ... I look forward to using this for all the messes that my kids make throughout the day."
Getting a professional massage to ease some tension is one of life's great joys, but not all of us have the time or money to spend on a spa day every time we need relief. The good news is, we've found something remarkably close to that blissful experience: the top-selling Raemao Massage Gun. It comes with an impressive 10 speeds and eight heads to target aches and pains practically anywhere on your body in the comfort of your home. It even has a "Professional Mode" if it's a next-level kneading sesh you crave.
"I have had several joint replacements and other surgeries, not to mention that I am 77 years old and arthritic," shared a satisfied shopper. "After breaking my humerus and having physical therapy, I thought: 'You know, those massages feel pretty good!' Hence, I bought this massager and have never looked back! I had an ankle replacement that causes my foot to feel numb and/or painful, so I tried the massager on it in the evening. Not only did it help with my discomfort then, but I found that IN THE MORNING my foot had much less discomfort! Who knew?! ... It IS a bit heavy, so I think it is well made. I can still handle it with my old hands."
There's a reason for the hype surrounding the newest Apple AirPods Pro — many reasons, in fact. For starters, they offer rich, crisp sound and superior noise cancellation, allowing you to enjoy music, podcasts, audiobooks and more without outside commotion getting in the way. This model also allows you to control the volume simply by swiping the stem, and you'll even receive four pairs of silicone tips in different sizes for customized comfort.
"I tried my cousin's AirPods and couldn't believe the sound quality," shared one customer. "I decided to purchase the AirPods Pro because I wanted the controls on the earpiece itself. I can skip or go back on songs, adjust volume, start or stop music, and turn on or off the noise-cancellation option, all from the AirPod, which is super convenient — I don't have to keep getting out my phone. The noise is so blacked out that it's freaky. I had my siblings try it, and their faces were in shock when they realized they couldn't hear their kids yelling. Purchase these! No regrets."
You could have the comfiest mattress, sheets and comforter in the world — but if you're still using a stuffy old pillow, well, good luck getting a good night's rest. If it's time for a replacement, this set of two Beckham Hotel Collection Pillows is designed to banish night sweats, thanks to its breathable, moisture-wicking cover. Soft, yet supportive for all sleeping positions, they're filled with down alternative fluff to give your head a plush pad to snooze on.
"Like sleeping on air," shared an excited shopper. "I hate buying pillows. These pillows are the best. They are worth every penny. Get lots of them and relax like you are on a cloud — truly worth it. Instead of wasting money buying pillow after pillow, invest in these as they last and are the best."
If you've been curious to see what all the hype is around iPads, now's your chance! This 9th Generation Apple iPad has 64GB of memory storage capacity, along with a crisp Retina display, front and back cameras and Touch ID to ensure your information stays secure. Use it for everything from checking your email to browsing the web, sharing photos and even sketching. (You'll want an Apple Pencil for that last one.)
"I got this for my 93-year-old mom," shared a generous gift-giver. "She's not very tech-savvy, but she loves her iPad. It has become her gateway to the world. She relies on FaceTime calls, as she is near-deaf, and being able to see someone's face really helps her understand them better. She uses it to watch her favorite shows and listen to her fave music. And she loves to play games on it. She is finding the Siri functions very helpful too."
If the idea of living in a house that smells like the epitome of fall comfort appeals to you, then this No. 1 bestselling Home Sweet Home Scented Yankee Candle belongs in your cart. With spicy notes of cinnamon, baking spices and freshly poured tea, it's a true treat for the senses and has an impressive 150-hour burn time. Just don't be tempted to eat it!
"I must say, it's one of the nicest scents I've bought," wrote a cozy customer. "It makes my home smell so welcoming and warm. And with the weather getting cooler, the scent makes me feel comfortable and happy. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a scent that makes you happy to be home."
Need a new television but don't want a giant screen taking up your living room? This 32-inch Amazon Fire TV's got your name on it. Its high-def resolution will make shows and movies pop, while wireless Bluetooth listening lets you connect your headphones for an unparalleled auditory experience (that won't wake your sleeping spouse). You'll have access to millions of streamers, and you can even control it via Alexa. (Psst: Prime members can score the lowest price of $110; the nonmember price is $130.)
"This new Amazon Fire HDTV was so simple that the most time-consuming process was attaching the legs, and even with that the entire process was approximately 7 to 10 minutes," wrote a happy viewer. "The color is fantastic, and the sound quality is excellent and certainly loud enough that you don't need a soundbar. I'm 76 years old and ... can't deal with difficult setups. Believe me, if I can set up a new HDTV, you can too."
We sincerely hope you never have to use this DBPower Portable Jump Starter, but if you do happen to find yourself with a dead battery, you'll be glad you have this in the trunk. It's compact, yet powerful enough to jump your car up to 30 times per charge — and the handy LCD screen will let you know how much juice remains. It also has a compass to help you navigate, and its charging port can power up your phone and other devices.
"Awesome!" exclaimed a happy driver. "It is amazing how quickly (seconds after hookup) it worked to start a vehicle that had not responded to over 15 minutes in a traditional jump start. It is very easy to use, completely safe, compact, versatile and will be with me always."
This Whall vacuum cleaner has a 250W motor, suction power of up to 22kPa, and supports the free switching of three suction modes. Lightweight and powerful, it can be charged on a wall mount to save storage space and provides the free-range accessibility you're looking for to revolutionize your cleaning habits.
Amazon customers seem to be loving this uber-effective vac: "Attachments snap on and snap off easily, it's lightweight, it get under furniture without having to move them, the suction cannot be believed for such an appliance, and emptying the dust cup is so easy and hands-free. Add to that the long running time (I can clean my entire apartment on less than a full charge, and not just floors but above too) and you've got one heck of a vacuum!" wrote one five-star fan.
Not only is this Cuisinart 12-Piece Knife Set going to give your kitchen a lovely pop of color, it's also going to make slicing and dicing a lot less taxing. Equipped with premium stainless steel blades, they're sharp, for sure, but also have a ceramic coating to keep food from sticking to them. Plus, their individual hues allow you to color-code, should you want one knife reserved for meat, one for veggies, etc. Oh, and did we mention they come with a lifetime warranty? They come with a lifetime warranty!
"This knife set made me a pro in the kitchen," wrote a happy home cook. "They cut like butter. They wash like glass. ... I actually purchased these knives for my husband and my son. My husband is the cook in the house, and my son is learning. I wanted them to have good stuff to use and no more of that cheap junk that you have to saw to cut meat. These knives cut in one little slice. Now I'm in the kitchen cutting up stuff, probably for no good reason."
It's no secret that retinol is one of the ingredients most recommended by dermatologists for a smoother, more even-looking complexion, and CeraVe's Resurfacing Retinol Serum is what to grab if it's affordable skin care you're after. Formulated with ceramides, licorice root extract and niacinamide, this nongreasy Amazon fave brightens while calming the skin, and it can also help minimize pores and traces of acne.
"It works!" exclaimed a senior supporter. "I am 67 years old with (20s and 30s) acne scarring and lines and wrinkling around my mouth and cheeks. I am also extremely fair and oily and have uneven skin tones and ruddiness. ... My skin now has an even all-over tone with much less ruddiness. The lines and even deep wrinkles are lessened and softened. My skin has a peachy soft look to it. People have been telling me that I 'look really good' for the last month or so. ... I would liken my results at this point to a series of salon peels."
Shorts and sundresses are being stored for cooler weather, and if your denim collection could use a refresh, these bestselling Gloria Vanderbilt High-Rise Tapered Jeans belong in your wardrobe. Not only are they flattering, with their leg-lengthening high waist, reviewers also say they're super comfortable — and the tapered design will highlight all of your cute fall boots.
"Always comfortable. Always look good," asserted one stylish shopper. "Many times I have [had] to wear [them] day through overnight — sometimes curled up on a two-seater chair to catch a few Zzzs, and never had that stiff-jean, circulation-cutoff, heavy-dye numbing feeling. These have become my go-to jeans."
If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem! You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
