The Best Early Prime Day Deals Ahead of Amazon’s Second Sale (2026)

Goldstein: —Tone: —

Amazon Prime Day deals are back, baby. The second sale of the year is officially dubbed Prime Big Deal Days and will arrive on October 6 and 7. However, early deals have already started, and I've been using my 13 years of deal-hunting experience to find true discounts on the gadgets and gear the WIRED Reviews team has hand-tested and would recommend to our friends. Below, you'll find the best early deals we've sleuthed so far. We'll be covering deals throughout the event and beyond. all the way through Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Don't miss our list of Prime Day tips put together by yours truly, plus our guide to Amazon Prime benefits you might be forgetting to use. Our guide to shopping safe on Amazon might be useful as well. Updated September 26: We've added 10 new deals from Bose, JBL, Anker, SteelSeries, Smartish, Moft, Birch, Razer, Blueair, and FlexiSpot. We've also made sure existing deals are up to date. - The best phone deal: Google Pixel 10a for $424 ($75 off) - The best earbuds deal: Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 for $190 ($41 off) - The best robot vacuum deal: Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro for $550 ($250 off) - A budget-friendly standing desk: FlexiSpot EN1 Standing Desk for $170 ($40 off) - The best Bluetooth speaker: JBL Flip 7 Bluetooth Speaker for $120 ($30 off) Best Tech Deals The Google Pixel 10a is our favorite Android phone overall, in part because it's cheap. The low price comes with a ton of value, from the slick performance and powerful cameras to the years of software and security updates. The JBL Go 5 is our top budget Bluetooth speaker. It's available in 10 different colors, most of which are down to a match of the best price we've seen. It's durable, lightweight, and sounds good for its size. We see this deal for our favorite workout earbuds pretty regularly, but they only ever get about $20 cheaper, so it's still a solid option if you're in the market. The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 play well with iOS and Android, have punchy sound, and feature the option for both transparency mode and active noise canceling. The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 remain our top earbuds for Android users (they also work with iOS). They're aesthetically pleasing. They sound great. They're comfortable, have a long-lasting battery, and active noise cancellation, plus some useful software features. If you want good earbuds that aren't AirPods, these might be up your alley. - Bose Ultra Open Earbuds for $199 ($100 off)—Read our review - Soundcore by Anker Aeroclip for $130 ($40 off)—Read our review - JBL Flip 7 Bluetooth Speaker for $120 ($30 off)—Read our review Best Home Deals The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro is a solid, relatively affordable robot vacuum. It could do a better job at cleaning up tricky spills, but it has good suction power, and this is the best price we've seen since it was released. Our top smart bird feeder is available in a few discounted configurations, but we prefer this one since it comes with AI bird identification and a solar charging panel. It's been slightly cheaper before, but this deal is still a good one. I’ve tested air purifiers that cost 10 times as much as this budget Levoit, but I keep coming back to this affordable pick. I really love the connected app, which lets me adjust settings like fan speed and modes from afar and check filter life. Plus, the app sends notifications when air quality is poor and updates when it reaches clean levels again. You can also see historical indoor air quality levels and the corresponding action the purifier took, which helps track patterns. It’s also compatible with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant for voice control. —Molly Higgins One of the best cordless stick vacuums you can buy is available in a few different configurations, and one of those options is on sale. The Shark PowerDetect vacuum has powerful suction and a bendable body that can slide under furniture. The base station version comes with more features, and the Speed version is a little cheaper (and our current top pick), but only the sole PowerDetect vacuum is on sale as of press time. —Nena Farrell Before it was an honorable mention in our router buying guide, the TP-Link Roam 7 was a top pick. And we still like it! It's a good portable option for traveling or smaller apartments, and it has support for mobile tethering and VPN.

The Best Early Prime Day Robot Vacuum Sales Are From Roborock (2026)

Goldstein: —Tone: —

With the changing weather brings many things: colder mornings; changing leaves; and, most important (particularly in this economy), a wave of sale events as the holiday season creeps around the corner. There are plenty of early Prime Day deals already underway, but given that I’m WIRED’s resident vacuum tester, it’s no surprise vacuum sales caught my eye. Robot vacuums are tested near daily in my house with the help of my constantly sand-covered 4-year-old and litter-tracking cat, and I’ve changed the lives of multiple friends after persuading them to try a modern robot vacuum. “Modern” is the key term here. If you’ve had the same cheap robot vacuum from years past that can’t map your home or connect to an app, you’re missing out on everything robot vacuums actually have to offer. Especially since most models can double as a mop and can detect where they should mop and where they should only vacuum. If you have yet to get a robot vacuum like this for your home, sales events like Prime Day (and pre-Prime Day!) are the perfect time to buy. One of the best brands out there is Roborock, which has already put a few of its robot vacuums that we’ve tested and loved on sale. Here are the ones to snag. Roborock’s On-Sale Robot Vacs Roborock has finally started updating its more affordable Qrevo line this year after a period of inactivity, and the Qrevo 2 Pro is my favorite vacuum I’ve tested from the brand so far. Since it launched last month, this is the second time the 2 Pro has been on sale in the $500 range, though it was a little cheaper during Roborock’s anniversary earlier this month. Still, this is a good price for a powerful robot vacuum that packs 20,000 Pa of suction, easy app control, and an extendable mop arm that helps it get into tricky corners. It’s a new budget-ish pick in my guide to the Best Robot Vacuums, especially when it’s on sale like it is right now. The Roborock Qrevo Curv 2, which launched early this year, is also on sale. The rounded base station is adorable, and this model also packs 20,000 Pa of suction but uses a different mop design and promises stronger mopping pressure. The mopping is what I think could’ve been a little better on the Qrevo 2 Pro, so if you’re looking for something with more mopping power, I’d spend a little more to get this also-on-sale robot vacuum.
