Amazon’s next Prime Big Deal Days event is fast approaching, with savvy shoppers excited to get their hands on some must-have items for heavily discounted prices. Set to take place next week on October 7 and 8, this massive sale will include popular beauty, homeware, tech and fashion items, making it the perfect time for shoppers to get ahead on their Christmas shopping. However, as this is only a two-day event, starting at 00:01 on Tuesday and ending at 23:59 on Wednesday, bargain hunters will need to be quick to snap up the best deals. In order to prepare for the sale, we recommend creating a wish-list on the app so you will be notified if any of the items have received a discount.

Many of these include popular pieces of tech , such as smartwatches, tablets, TVs and laptops. For those wanting to snap up some must-have deals before the chaos of the sale begins, we have collated our top five deals that you won’t want to miss out on. Starting off with an Amazon product, the online retailer has decided to slash the prices off its popular Fire TV Stick range.

Setup was very simple, plug it in, connect to Wi-Fi, and I then had access to all streaming apps. all in one place. I love it.” However, another shopper did note: “Storage is not too good for all the things advertised you can do with it.” Amazon has slashed £200 off the Hisense 43″ QLED Smart AI TV ahead of the huge Prime Day event. Featuring 4K direct lit viewing and Quantum Dot Colour, this TV will provide crisp, vivid colours so viewers can truly immerse themselves in their latest binge watch.

Along with Dolby Atmos to provide the ultimate sound experience, the TV also uses AI technology to upscale all content, no matter the input. Currently one of Amazon’s top choices, one happy reviewer wrote: “Very good TV for the money, picture quality is very good, with no lag on the user interface. TV was very easy to set up, with lots of functions and settings that you would expect on a high end TV. However, another person had a problem with the delivery: “TV is great. Paid extra for fast delivery but this didn’t happen! Other than that the TV is ok.” Robot vacuums have become increasingly popular over the last few years as they can independently tackle any messes around your home while you get on with other daily tasks and work. In an early deal, Amazon has slashed £90 off the best-selling eufy G50 Robot Vacuum Cleaner . Featuring a powerful 4,000 Pa suction, this device is able to get rid of pet hair, crumbs and dust with ease while making as little noise as possible.

I have two children and two cats and buying this has made life feel so much easier! I can switch this on and leave it to it whilst I get on with other things.” Meanwhile, a three-star reviewer did note: “I find the contact plates between vacuum and home dock don’t always connect very well, meaning it doesn’t always charge properly.” Amazon has slashed the price of the Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet down to its “lowest price ever” of £69.99.

The tablet also comes with Amazon Kids+, which features parental controls for added peace of mind. With an overall 4.5 star rating, one five-star reviewer praised: “I can’t get over the size of the screen, it’s 10″ but looks bigger. The tablet is lightning fast and it does everything that I expect from an Amazon Fire. Fantastic upgrade, well worth the investment.” However, one customer wasn’t pleased with the app store, writing: “The tablet itself is fine but the Amazon app store is extremely poor. A significant number of apps my parents wanted aren’t available and you cannot download play store.” Noted by the retail giant as a “selling fast”, Amazon has slashed £80 off the HP Stream 14″ Laptop . Equipped with a large 14-inch screen and powerful Intel Celeron N4120 processor, this laptop provides clear viewing and seamless multitasking, even on the busiest days.

Also marked as another top choice from Amazon, one delighted shopper wrote: “Does everything I want it to. Lightweight. Responsive. I was pleasantly surprised at its capabilities but it’s an HP and they produce good hardware. For general use it’s excellent. I use it physically in the field everyday. Better than a tablet.” On the flip side, another customer gave a mixed review: “Laptop is nice, easy to set up and fast. Only thing I don’t like is the mouse pad as it is very sensitive. Love the colour.”
