Shopping sales can be tricky. If you go in completely blind without any idea what kinds of items are going to be discounted, you could completely miss out on some of the best deals. But on the *other* hand, if you go in with a specific list of items you’re looking for, there’s also a good chance you’ll wind up disappointed if none of those items wind up on sale. Luckily for everyone reading this, I’ve already scoured Amazon to find what I expect to be absolute bestsellers this Prime Big Deal Day. From Shark vacuum cleaners to Peloton bikes, you’ll definitely want to take a look at this list in order to figure out what you’ll want to shell out for this coming October 10th and 11th — especially when it comes to that Shark vacuum. But if you want to see more? Then you’ll just have to keep scrolling.

VIKTOR JURGEN Shiatsu Massage Pillow
Aching muscles are no match for this massage pillow. Rotating nodes reach deep into muscles to help work out all those painful knots — and there’s even a bonus heat function to help soothe away soreness. But if that isn’t enough? Each order also includes an adapter so that you can use it in your car.
INSIGNIA Smart Television
If you haven’t already upgraded to a smart television, Prime Big Deal Day will be your chance to grab this one from INSIGNIA at an incredibly reasonable price. It comes with Alexa built into it, which means you can search through Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and other streaming service catalogs using convenient voice commands — no need to type away on a remote. And with 720p HD resolution, all your shows and movies play in crystal-clear quality.
Hydro Flask Reusable Water Bottle
Still sipping from those wasteful plastic water bottles? Consider saving some money and switching to this reusable one. Its insulated walls help keep cold drinks chilled for up to 24 hours, whereas hot drinks stay warm for up to 12 hours. Plus, the leakproof straw lid makes for easy sipping.
Ninja FlexBasket Air Fryer
While frying food can be tasty, it can also make a huge mess — but that’s where this air fryer comes in handy. It uses a fraction of the oil that traditional deep fryers require, yet still creates a deliciously crispy texture on your chicken tenders, french fries, wings, and more. But if you still need some convincing that it’s worth a look? There are also two fryer baskets on the inside so that you can cook multiple meals at the same time.
Grande Cosmetics Lash Serum
Fake lashes can be difficult to apply. Iinstead, give your natural lashes a boost with this serum. You only need to line your lids with it once a day — afterwards, its potent blend of vitamins and amino acids will then gradually work to boost your lashes over the next few weeks, with full results visible in as little as three months.
Samsonite Softside Luggage Set
With its expandable design and tough polyester exterior, this softside luggage set from Samsonite is sure to fly off the shelves this Prime Big Deal Day. Each order comes with two suitcases: a larger one for longer trips, as well as a smaller one that’s carry-on friendly. Four multi-directional wheels make it easy to maneuver around the airport — which is basically a must-have feature when you’re sprinting to catch that flight. You also have the choice of three colors: blue, emerald, or black.
DISGUISE Inflatable T-Rex Costume
Some days you wake up feeling like a million dollars, other days you wake up feeling like a dinosaur. In which case, this inflatable T-Rex costume is worth a look. A vinyl window in the front makes it easy to see where you’re going — and each order even includes a battery-operated fan to help you get it inflated within just a few short minutes.
Bose Bluetooth Noise Cancelling Headphones
A quality pair of headphones are worth their weight in gold, which is why I’m a big fan when it comes to these Bose headphones. Their over-the-ear design helps block outside noise so that you can listen to music in peace, while volume-optimized active EQ technology works to ensure the deep bass and high treble in your songs sound balanced at any volume. Plus, the battery lasts for up to 22 hours before it needs to be recharged.
IGK Heat Protectant Spray
Spritzing your strands with a heat protectant prior to using a blow dryer, flat iron, or curling iron is always a good idea — so take a look at this one from IGK. Protein-rich spirulina works to tame frizz as well as infuse shine, leaving your hair looking like it just received a fresh kertain treatment. And unlike some heat protectants, this one can help keep your hair frizz-free for up to 24 hours.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
It can be difficult to read books on your tablet depending on the lighting you’re working with — but that’s only part of the reason why this Kindle paperwhite is worth a look. Its display mimics the look of plain paper, making it easy to see in any light. And since it’s also waterproof, there’s no need to stress should you accidentally drop it in the bathtub while you’re relaxing.
She’s Birdie Personal Safety Alarm
This personal safety alarm is one of those items that you’d rather have and not need, than need and not have. The loud siren makes it easy for first responders to find you in the event of an emergency — and the included batteries can even sound for up to 40 continual minutes. Plus, the included clip lets you attach it to your bag so that it’s always within reach in case you need it.
Sunny Health & Fitness Mini Stepper Machine
You don’t have to shell out for an expensive gym membership to get a full-body workout — just grab this miniature stepper machine. Two resistance bands help you tone your shoulders, biceps, chest, back, and more, while the two pedals on the bottom work to keep your heart rate up. Plus, the LCD screen shows how many steps you’ve taken, how long you’ve been working out, as well as calories burned.
Hiboy Electric Scooter
If you’ve been holding off on buying yourself an electric scooter, this one is likely to be a big seller this coming Prime Big Deal Day. Not only does it fold up for easy storage, but it can also travel up to 25 miles before the battery needs to be recharged. But if that isn’t enough? With a weight limit of up to 220 pounds, both adults and children alike can ride.
JBL Portable Bluetooth Speaker
With a powerful rechargeable battery that lets you jam to music for up to 24 hours, this Bluetooth speaker from JBL is a must-have for your next get together with friends. Its waterproof design makes it great for days at the beach, pool, or even just listening to tunes while you take a shower. And if your phone starts running low on battery? You can also use it as an external power bank to charge other devices.
23andMe Ancestry DNA Test
Ever wonder where your ancestors came from, or if you’re genetically predisposed to certain health conditions? This genetic test from 23andMe can help you find out. There are no needles or blood draw required — simply take a saliva sample using the included collection kit, then send it back to the 23andMe lab. Results are generally sent back to you after about four weeks.
ELEMIS Resurfacing Facial Pads
Using a harsh scrub on your face can leave the skin looking irritated — instead, try using these resurfacing pads. They’re formulated to help gently exfoliate away flakes, brighten skin, as well as even out your complexion’s texture. And with thousands of positive four- and five-star reviews, it’s clear that they’re a hit with Amazon shoppers. “I’ve noticed such a difference since using these exfoliating pads – I don’t break out as much and my skin looks well nourished and exfoliated,” raved one happy customer.
SAMSUNG Internal Solid State Hard Drive
A slow, laggy computer can be incredibly frustrating to work with — but that’s only part of the reason why this hard drive is worth a look. Not only does it feature two terabytes of storage space, but it can also reach red/write speeds of up to 3,300 megabytes. Dynamic thermal guard technology helps keep it from overheating when you’re stuck working long hours. Plus, many reviewers wrote about how it’s “super fast,” while others complimented how well it worked with their MacBook Pro.
Google Unlocked Pixel 7
Buying a new phone from your carrier can cost a pretty penny — instead, grab this Google Pixel 7 from Amazon. It arrives already unlocked, which means it’ll work with Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, as well as nearly any other major carrier. Its ultra-wide lenses combined with cinematic blur features bring a dramatic edge to your videos and photos. Plus, the battery lasts for up to 72 hours in power save mode, or 24 hours in standard mode.
Under Armour HeatGear Leggings
Made from four-way stretch material that moves with you as you bend and stretch, these leggings from Under Armour are great for yoga class, lifting weights, and every activity in between. HeatGear fabric helps keep you cool when your body temp rises high — and since it also helps wick away moisture, you won’t be left feeling waterlogged after a sweaty workout. Choose from 16 colors.
Acer Desktop Computer
With its 64-bit operating system and 12th generation Intel Core processor, this desktop computer from Acer delivers high-quality performance without putting your bank account into the red. While you do need to provide your own monitor, it does come with a USB keyboard as well as a mouse — and it even has Windows 11 Home already installed. Plus, its 12 gigabytes of RAM mean your programs load quickly, eliminating the chances of having to put up with any frustrating lag.
Sceptre Curved Gaming Monitor
Speaking of computers, make sure to grab this monitor to go with that Acer desktop. The curved screen and 1080 HD resolution make it perfect for gaming — though it’ll perform just as well if you’re stuck making Excel spreadsheets for work. And unlike some monitors, this one has a feature that helps out blue light rays. The result? You may notice your eyes feel less strained when staring at it for long periods of time.
Solo Stove Portable Camping Stove
There’s no need to lug around a giant bundle of firewood on your next camping trip — just pack this portable camping stove. Unlike some stoves, this one uses twigs, leaves, wood, and pinecones as fuel, eliminating the need to buy any extra propane. And since it’s made from stainless steel, there’s no need to worry about it rusting over time.
Ninja Outdoor Pizza Oven
Most conventional ovens only heat up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, which isn’t hot enough to make delicious Neapolitan-style pizza — but that’s why this outdoor pizza oven is worth a look. Not only can it reach 700 degrees Fahrenheit, but you can also use it to roast, broil, dehydrate, or even smoke your meals. Each order also includes a variety of extras, including a 100% real wood pellet, pizza peel, and more.
Logitech G Driving Force Racing Wheel
Connect this driving wheel and pedal set to your PC, Xbox One, or XBox Series X to take your favorite racing game to the next level. The pedals are pressure-sensitive for ultra-realistic gameplay, and the wheel can even turn two and a half times — just like a real F1 race car. Plus, the dual-motor force feedback simulates how it feels to make a sharp turn, oversteer, or even drift when racing.
JoncAye Pickleball Paddle Set
Pickleball is quickly growing in popularity, so it should come as no surprise that this paddle set is expected to be a hit this Prime Big Deal Day. Each order includes four paddles, two indoor balls, two outdoor balls, as well as four replacement overgrips. Toss everything into the zippered backpack (which also comes included) and you’re ready to hit the court.
GE PROFILE Countertop Ice Maker
Don’t have an ice maker built into your freezer? Not a problem when you have this countertop version. It can make up to 34 pounds of ice in a day, with the first batch ready within as little as 10 minutes. And with enough space inside to hold up to three pounds of ice, you won’t be stuck constantly emptying it throughout the day.
Shark Upright Vacuum
With a detachable pod that makes cleaning deep underneath furniture a total breeze, this upright vacuum from Shark is a must-have in any home. Its HEPA filter traps dust and allergens, while swivel steering makes it easy to maneuver around furniture legs, corners, and more. Many reviewers also raved about its “great suction,” with even more writing describing it as “the best vacuum ever.”
SAMSUNG Wireless Earbuds
If you prefer earbuds to over-the-ear headphones, this pair from Samsung is right up your alley. Their snug fit helps block outside noise so that all you hear is that song or podcast you’re listening to — and they even feature three microphones to help you make crystal-clear calls. Plus, the water-resistant design means there’s no need to worry about how they’ll fare during sweaty workouts.
JBL Soundbar
You don’t have to shell out thousands for an expensive home stereo system for a movie theater-quality experience — and this sound bar is proof. Built-in Chromecast lets you stream movies from your phone or laptop, while immersive surround sound puts you right in the middle of every scene. Or, if you’re having guests over, you can also connect to it via Bluetooth and stream music.
Repel Windproof Umbrella
Unlike that crummy umbrella you’ve likely been using, this one is made with a double-vented canopy that helps keep it from inverting in strong winds. Nine fiberglass ribs give it added wind resistance, while a canopy covered with Teflon makes it incredibly resistant to water. The best part? You also have eight different fun colors to choose from.
POWERLIX Inflatable Sleeping Pad
Don’t put up with sleeping on the hard ground when you’re camping — instead, take this sleeping pad with you. Its compact size makes it easy to take with you when packing light, while thermal insulation helps keep you warm when temperatures dip down low. Plus, it only takes a few short seconds to inflate.
LifeStraw Personal Water Filter
Speaking of camping, don’t set foot outdoors before you’ve packed this personal water filter. The microfiltration membrane removes up to 99.99% of E. coli, salmonella, as well as other waterborne parasites and bacteria. And unlike some water filters, this one lets you sip straight from the source — no need to fill up a cumbersome bag or bottle.
Peloton Indoor Exercise Bike
Prime Big Deal Day is probably the best time to grab yourself some home exercise equipment — but that’s only part of the reason why we expect this Peloton bike to be a big seller. Not only does it easily fit into small sapces, but one month of access to its video library of cycling classes only costs $44. “Well, I’ve had the bike for over a month now and I’m addicted,” wrote one happy customer. “The variety of workouts once you subscribe to their app (there are plenty of options that aren’t on the bike!) has helped with dropping a couple pounds and suddenly I’m motivated to workout for as little as 10-15 minutes a day just to keep my streak going.”
