What Is Amazon Prime Day?
In the summer, Amazon Prime Day deals include products and brands that rarely get marked down across nearly every shopping category on-site. However, summertime isn’t the only time to save big—October Amazon Prime Day deals are almost here, bringing with them discounts on early holiday must-haves and fall essentials. Whether you’re looking for the best backyard fire pit, a new washer and dryer or savings on new tools, this fall sale has what you need (and so much more).
When Is Amazon October Prime Day 2023?
Prime Big Deal Days (also referred to as “October Prime Day”) is taking place this year on October 10 and 11, 2023. Like last year’s Amazon October Prime Day, the event spans a full 48 hours and includes savings on Family Handyman-approved brands. Because it only runs for two days, shoppers should snag their favorite finds ASAP before the deal ends—or the biggest discounts sell out!
Can I get a free Amazon Prime membership?
Amazon Prime Day deals mean almost every home, outdoor and tool shopping category features major discounts. Markdowns run up to 80% off retail prices. The catch? You must be a Prime member to participate. For those not currently subscribed, secure a free trial of Prime to participate in the event. Enjoy other Prime member perks too, like exclusive Amazon TV shows and movies streaming on the Prime channel.
What retailers offer the best Prime Day alternatives?
Not a Prime member and have already used up your 30-day free trial? There are still incredible Amazon deals that don’t require a subscription. While Amazon Prime Day deals are only available on the Amazon site, some competitors like Walmart, Lowe’s and Target have their own competitor sales.

The Best Amazon Prime Day Deals
ThermoPro Meat Thermometer
When it comes to grilling accessories, a good meat thermometer is the most splurge-worthy. The tech-friendly ThermoPro probe meat thermometer connects to WiFi and the ThermoPro app, providing accurate readings at a glance. An alarm system automatically alerts you if the temperature goes above or below a preset threshold, ensuring that dinner never comes out dry. Snag it on sale for $63 and say goodbye to overcooked hamburgers once and for all.
Aiper Robotic Pool Cleaner
We’ve already written about the Aiper robotic pool cleaner, and it still remains one of our favorite summer finds—especially on sale. Simply turn it on and drop it in the pool and the Aiper does the rest. It automatically clears out debris and dirt from the pool floor, and then returns to the side of the pool for easy retrieval. It’s so handy, that you may feel the need to name it like hundreds of reviewers have! Bring it home today and say goodbye to that hard-to-maneuver net for good.
Whole House Water Filtration System
It’s no secret that we already love the iSpring whole house water filtration system—we named it our overall favorite well water filtration system. Now is the time to pick one up, since they’re discounted 32% for Amazon Big Deal Days. Whether it’s well water with herbicides and industrial solvents or city water that suffers from sediment or a bad taste, this water filtration system easily pulls out contaminants using a two-stage carbon filter.
Saker Mini Chainsaw
In our editor review of the Saker mini chainsaw, we call it “a yard’s best friend.” Now, we can also call it a bargain—it’s available at a savings of 60% during Amazon’s October Prime Day. When it comes to cutting, don’t let the small size fool you. Cute and compact, this chainsaw easily slices through thick branches like butter. It’s so good that one of our editors used it to break down an entire tree in her yard!
National Tree Company Artificial Christmas Tree
It may not be the holidays yet, but there’s nothing smarter than prepping for them early. National Tree Company Christmas trees are full, simple to set up and look just as pretty as real Dunhill Firs. Artificial Christmas trees—especially those of good quality—are typically pretty pricy, so take advantage of this 59% discount while it’s still live on the Amazon site.
Solar Lantern Outdoor Lights
Nothing beats a relaxing night around the backyard fire pit during autumn. Light your way with these solar lantern lights, on sale for $20 off. This two-pack comes with a duo of solar-powered lanterns wrapped in a striking metal holder, real glass panes and a set of retro-style LED tungsten filament lightbulbs for a luxury look. Simply affix them to the wall anywhere the yard could use a little light.
Inflatable Kayak
Our favorite inflatable kayak is rip-resistant, lightweight and currently rings up at a savings of $85—what’s not to love? This editor-tested kayak is tough enough to conquer rough currents while still folding up to a storage-friendly, compact size when deflated. Clever accents—like a high output pump and removable skeg—round out this summertime staple.
Coleman SaluSpa
Amazon Prime Day is the perfect time to splurge on products for stress relief, especially when the Coleman Saluspa inflatable hot tub is only $428 after a 14% discount. It has everything we love about hot tubs—including space for up to four people and 120 bubbling jets—without the need to set aside space for it all year round. Because it deflates and folds up into a compact size for storage during the winter, you can say goodbye to winterizing your hot tub.
