The 27+ best Amazon Prime Day 2024 deals for October

Prime Big Deal Days is here, offering discounts on tech, beauty products, kitchen gadgets and more during the 48-hour sale, which is exclusive to Prime members. I spent five years covering Prime Day, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday as a reporter for NBC Select, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I scoured Amazon’s many deal pages—through thousands of discounted products—to find October’s best Prime Day deals. Every product I recommend below has a high rating, at least 20% off, and the lowest price in at least three months. I will update this list regularly during Prime Big Deal Days.

Average rating of 4.6 stars from 45,682 reviews on Amazon

It’s that good.” The mask is made with moisturizing ingredients like coconut and shea butter, as well as vitamin C and other antioxidants. It comes with a mini spatula to assist with application.

Shark NV352 Navigator Lift-Away upright vacuum cleaner

Average rating of 4.4 stars from 106,044 reviews on Amazon

This corded vacuum is the key to keeping my three-pet household clean. The HEPA filter traps allergens such as dust and pet dander, and effectively sucks dirt from carpets and bare floors.

It also comes with several attachments, including a crevice tool and upholstery tool.
