10 Prime Day deals that will likely sell out first — grab them before it’s too late

Must read

Happy Monday, friends! And yes, we mean it when we say “happy” — October Prime Day kicks off in less than 24 hours! Only time will tell which items from our wishlists will be discounted for Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, but there are some Prime Day faves we almost always expect to see on sale. Of course, we’re not the only ones who wait with baited breath for these products to be marked down — other savvy shoppers are bound to scoop them up, with the most popular likely to sell out before the two-day event comes to a close.

That’s why we’ve rounded up the 10 deals we think are worth snagging ASAP; some are already live, others we’re expecting (so bookmark them now!). Our team of shopping experts has years of experience tracking deals during big sale events like Prime Day, so we have a pretty good idea of which discounts will be the most sought after. We also know how to spot the actual markdowns from the not-so-great ones, so you can trust that any deal we include here has been vetted and approved.

Okay, ready to see our picks? Keep scrolling, and happy shopping!

Don’t let its release date fool you — though this iPad first burst onto the scene in 2021, it’s still one of the best tablets on the market, ideal for everything from working to playing. At $200, it’s only a dollar more than the lowest price it’s ever been!

“The battery life is great for note-taking,” one reviewer wrote. “It’s super light to carry around and the space gray color I chose is so sleek and classy. It took me about five minutes to set it up.”

Get some holiday shopping done early and snag this No. 1 bestseller while it’s still in stock. Star Wars superfans can test their knowledge as they build 24 mini versions of classic Lego models, including the X-wing from 1999 and The Crimson Firehawk from earlier this year. 

It’s currently on sale, and considering over 30,000 have been purchased in the past month, it’s already shaping up to be a hot-ticket gift.

Rise and grind! Just kidding — with this top-selling Keurig, making coffee is as simple as filling the tank with water, popping in a K-Cup of your choice and pressing a button. 

Let’s face it, mornings can be hectic, and the last thing you need as you’re rushing around is an involved java-making process. This quick brewer takes all the work out, and while it’s on sale as we speak, we have a hunch it’ll dip even lower once Prime Day officially kicks off.

If your less-than-glowing chompers could use some restoration, the folks at Crest say these bestselling strips can make teeth up to 20 shades whiter in just 22 days (that’s almost one shade per day!). 

According to the brand, you’re guaranteed to have a noticeably whiter smile, and with this kit, you’ll get some bonus express treatments for same-day results. This early Prime Day deal drops the price to as low as we’ve seen it in years. Now that’s something to say “cheese!” about.

These No. 1 bestselling pillows are hits among hundreds of thousands of Amazon shoppers (really) and Yahoo readers can’t stop scooping them up, either. They’re made of a cooling gel to help keep those uncomfortable night sweats at bay, and the plush Oeko-Tex Standard certified material will feel like heaven while you sleep. 

They’re 40% off with the on-page coupon, but considering they’re a Prime Day fave, there’s a good chance the price will drop even lower. Check out our full Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows review for more.

This cool gadget is more than just an alarm clock — though it’s a super-sleek one, at that. In addition to the time, it’ll tell you the weather, play music and even control compatible smart devices. 

At close to 45% off, this is the lowest price we’ve ever seen for this brand-new smart speaker, so you’d be wise to add it to your cart, stat. Check out our tech editor’s review for more.

This small-but-mighty sucker, a viral fave for a while now, targets unsightly spots, minimizes odors and more on both carpets and upholstery in a perfectly portable way. At under 10 pounds, it’s on the lighter side for a deep cleaner, and it’s versatile enough to use on furniture — even car interiors. Plus, the 15-foot cord is long enough to keep you from having to find a new outlet every five minutes. 

This set comes with the Little Green, a 3-inch tough stain tool, a HydroRinse self-cleaning hose tool, a spraying crevice tool, a trial size 8-ounce Spot and Stain with Febreze formula and a one-year limited warranty. You can snag it for nearly 20% off right now, but we anticipate it’ll be an even better deal on Prime Day itself.

This highly versatile hair styler doesn’t go on sale often, but it’s dropped in price for Prime Day before, so we plan on keeping a close eye on it. 

One Yahoo staffer wrote, “As far as accessories go, let’s just say the number of attachments this thing comes with would put your boss’ emails to shame. It includes not one, but two curling barrels (1.2-inch and 1.6-inch), a firm smoothing brush, a soft smoothing brush, a round volumizing brush, a smoothing dryer and a filter cleaning brush. … Thanks to the intelligent heat control, which tracks the airflow temperature 40 times per second to keep the device from overheating, the heat also felt more diffused, even on the highest setting. Probably a lot less harsh on my frizzled ends! That said, it was still powerful enough to dry my hair in a fraction of the time it takes with a blow dryer (there’s that 13-blade Dyson digital motor for ya!).”

In case the idea of applying a snail secretion to your skin has never crossed your mind, take it from a slew of Amazon shoppers — it’s effective! This top-rated serum was purchased by over 100,000 people in the past month alone, thanks to its lightweight, refreshing feel and hydrating, rejuvenating effects. 

Snail mucin not only helps boost collagen and elastin for a firmer look and feel, but it can also gently exfoliate for a smoother texture while soothing the skin. Reviewers reported noticing everything from a brighter complexion to a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and dark spots. 

Though the Prime Day price isn’t the lowest we’ve ever seen for this popular product, it’s still worth adding to your cart today. Your complexion will need extra TLC in the cold, dry winter months, and this serum will add extra hydration when your skin needs it most.

Make food nice and crispy (even if it’s just leftovers) with Ninja’s 5.5-quart Max XL air fryer. In addition to air frying in its basket, you can bake, reheat and dehydrate food. The buttons are pretty intuitive too, so you can use it right out of the box with no issues. 

“I’m lazy when it comes to cooking. This air fryer was so easy to use that it actually made me cook more,” said one customer. “It’s very sleek and performs well. Buttons are very responsive and it does what it advertises.”
