Best Prime Big Deals Days home and garden deals – tried and tested

8
Buy if: You want a simple, compact, and sleek machine that also gives you the option of making different coffees.
Skip if: You don’t want the limitation of only using Nespresso Vertuo capsules, which are a bit pricey.
What our reviewer said: “You get a lovely creamy coffee top, which tastes delicious. You can also specify five different cup sizes: espresso, double espresso, gran lungo, mug and alto to suit your mood and need for caffeine.”
Rating: 3/5 by Hayley Minn. Read more from our best coffee machines tried and tested reviews here.
2. Amazon Fire TV 43-inch 4-series 4K UHD smart TV, £229.99 (£429.99)
8
Buy if: You want a simple piece of kit that doesn’t require lots of wires to set up and a crisp HD display to stream your favourite shows and films on. Access to lots of apps and integration with other Amazon devices around your home.
Skip if: You want superior sound quality or a more luxury/premium design.
What our reviewer said: “First impressions at the set itself may be vanilla but inside it packs plenty of content to keep any telly lover happy. The display beams beautifully but the audio lets the side down. But if you love Amazon products like Alexa and Ring, this will complete your Amaz-ing family without breaking the bank.”
Rating: 3/5 by Jamie Harris. Read the full Fire TV review here.
3. Simba Hybrid® Pillow, £87 (was £109)
8
Buy if: The Simba Hybrid pillow provides plenty of support and a temperature-regulating hybrid design (perfect for sweaty sleepers). Ideal if you are looking for greater support as you sleep.
Skip if: You don’t like your pillows on the firmer side and are on a tight budget.
What our reviewer said: “Excellent at regulating heat and seriously comfortable to sleep on, the Hybrid works very hard for its premium price tag.
“The beauty of Simba’s Hybrid Pillow is twofold: firstly, its interior, which is filled with hundreds of ‘nanocubes’ and surrounded by a hypoallergenic microfibre layer, blends the sumptuous softness of a feather pillow with the assured support and gentle firmness of memory foam.”

4. Shark Corded Upright Vacuum Cleaner, £189.99 (was £299.99)
8
Buy if: You want the convenience of an upright and portable vacuum cleaner in one with lots of handy cleaning features such as the anti-hair wrap and powered lift-away pod Shark is known for.
Skip if: You want something more affordable or you are less mobile and need something lightweight to manoeuvre around your home.
What our reviewer said: “I was impressed with how easy it was to set up, use and empty afterwards – and how smart and stylish it looks.
“I love how versatile it is, so you can use it how you like – whether you want to push an upright vacuum cleaner, lift off the lightweight, detachable pod and still use the wand and floorhead, or use the handle with the smaller attachments.
“The only real negative for me was the accessories not fitting on as smoothly as everything else and an issue with the pipe clip, but overall, it was really easy and intuitive to set up and use, and its cleaning power was top quality.”
Rating: 4/5 reviewed by Clare Mellor. Read our full Shark Upright Vacuum Cleaner NZ801UK review here.
5. eufy X10 Pro Omni Robot Vacuum Cleaner, £599 (was £799)
8
Buy if: You want an easy-to-set-up robot vacuum cleaner that can also mop floors. Has a clever object detection feature and iPath LIDAR navigation that even works in the dark.
Skip if: The docking station is quite large and bulky so if you have limited space this may not be the design for you.
What our reviewer said: “The eufy X10 Pro Omni Robot Vacuum Cleaner is really simple to use once you work your way around the app.
“It is great at picking up the cat and dog hair around my house as well as the endless crumbs from two hungry teens.
“It’s not going to replace my corded Henry yet as it is limited in what it can do. But the more I use the X10 the more I love it.”
Rating: 4/5 reviewed by Sinead McIntyre. Read our full Eufy X10 Pro Omni review here.
6. Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer, £159.99 (was £239.99)
8
Buy if: Convenient dual drawers for cooking different foods at the same time. More energy efficient than using your main oven and other appliances. A quick and healthier way to meal prep using the different cooking functions.
Skip if: If you have a very small kitchen this may take up too much counter space.
What our reviewer said: “This is Ninja’s best-selling air fryer, and I can see why. It’s such a versatile help in the kitchen.
“The non-stick, pull-out drawers and their inner trays are robust and look like they’d withstand some heavy use. I also found them easy to clean.”

What home and garden deals to expect on Prime Day?
Whether you’re doing DIY or looking to replace a piece of furniture or home appliance, the Amazon Prime Day sale in October – aka Prime Big Deal Days – is a great place to find a bargain.
Amazon has confirmed that the October sale will include ‘early festive deals from brands including LG, Sony and Shark’ – but in the meantime, we’ve listed some unmissable savings above, that are currently live. In some cases, these even rival the prices you’ll see come Prime Day, so make sure you check those out.
Vacuum cleaners, mattresses, garden furniture, cleaning supplies and DIY tools are always popular with bargain hunters on Prime Day, so it’s worth keeping an eye on the limited deal stock levels to avoid missing out on the best discounts.
Over the event, Prime members will be able to shop an array of exclusive offers including flash offers, which are often referred to as ‘lightning deals’ and are only available for a very limited time or while stock lasts.

Amazon’s next Prime event takes place on 8 and 9 October 2024.
The October sale is dubbed ‘Prime Big Deal Days’ and normally matches (or sometimes even beats) the discounts seen in the retailer’s annual Amazon Prime Day in July.
The upcoming October sale kicks off at midnight on the first day and runs until midnight on the second day, giving Prime members a full 48 hours of discounted shopping across all categories.

During 2020, Amazon cancelled its original July event and replaced it with an event held in October.
Two years later in 2022, Amazon hosted the Prime Early Access Sale on 11 and 12 October, which was the online retailer’s first foray into hosting an autumn event alongside its traditional summer one.
Since then, the autumn event has become a regular shopping fixture for consumers who want to avoid the hectic Black Friday bargain-hunting period.
What date was July Prime Day 2024?
This year’s summer Prime Day took place on 16 and 17 July.
In 2023, the July Prime Day took place on 11 and 12 July – the same date as in 2022.
2022 was also the first year that Amazon introduced a second sale in October, dubbed Prime Big Deal Days.
