Calling all bargain hunters – Amazon’s 48-hour October Prime Day kicks off in just a few hours, and if you’re already raring to go, you’ll be happy to hear the ecommerce giant has revved its engine early and there are some stellar savings to be found on its own-brand gadgets.

While the Prime Big Deal Days sale (that’s what it’s officially called) doesn’t begin until tomorrow, I’m already seeing Amazon take chunks out of the price of its Fire TV Sticks, Kindle tablets, Echo smart speakers and even its Ring video doorbells.

The retailer is also expected to slash prices on everything from TVs and laptops to beauty and home appliances, including vacuum cleanersheated clothes airers and dehumidifiers, as well as tech from Apple,home essentials and electric toothbrushes from Oral-B.    

To help you shop smart this Prime Day, the IndyBest team will be here live throughout the sale, sniffing out the latest and best early deals and providing top tips. Constantly updated, we’re busy hunting down the discounts. But remember, you need to be a Prime subscriber if you want to take part.

Save on these AirPods Max with this early Prime Day headphones deal

I’ve just spotted this fantastic discount on Apple’s AirPods Max. I’ve been tracking the price of the wireless headphone since Apple raised the price in 2022, and it’s never dropped this low before.

Save £70 on Apple’s AirPods Max – some of my favourite headphones I’ve ever tested. “They sound stellar – both rich and full – thanks to the Apple-designed 40mm dynamic driver,” I said in my review. “They cover your ears so fully that you get an exceedingly good amount of passive noise cancellation without even having to turn on ANC – even better than some of the active noise-cancelling headphones we’ve tried. This just takes this set to another level.”

Let’s kick things off this morning with this deal on the Amazon Fire TV Stick. Launched in 2022, this little gadget will turn your not-so-smart TV into a clever one, and is so cheap now that you can buy one for every TV in your house.

The entry-level Fire TV stick is 50 per cent more powerful than previous generations, with super-quick streaming in Full HD. It comes with an Alexa remote, so you can shout commands and ask it to play specific films with just your voice. It supports thousands of app, including Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Now and plenty more. Plus – my favourite feature – Dolby Atmos is also supported, so content will be more immersive.. Right now, you can snap it up with a huge 62 per cent discount.
