Best Amazon deals to buy now, from air fryers to Apple airpods

Gone are the days when the Amazon Prime Day sale would take place just once a year, which is good news for anyone who missed July’s event, as another 48-hour deals window is set to open this month.

Yes, that’s right, a fresh opportunity to grab yourself a bargain is looming, as the next Prime Day event is being held from 10 October and 11 October. However, if you can’t wait until then, Amazon is hosting a discount or two online right now.

We’ve been busy delving into the depths of the retail giant’s website to find the best deals across a wide range of products, from technology and home appliances to skincare, kitchen accessories, video games, toothbrushes and more.

Many of the deals included here see prices slashed by up to 50 per cent, but be quick, as Amazon has a habit of changing up its deals each day, so we can’t guarantee they’ll be around for long. As always, our expert shopping team is on hand with the latest savings, so, don’t worry, we’ll be updating this article regularly to bring you the most up-to-date prices on the best Amazon deals and discounts.

This week, we’ve spotted discounts on electric toothbrushes, air fryers, vacuum cleaners and much more.

The only device we’ve seen that’s a worthy competitor of Dyson’s airwrap is Shark’s flexstyle air styler and hair dryer, and it’s now reduced by over 20 per cent. This five-in-one styler and dryer allows you to style while you dry, and there’s limited heat damage thanks to its coanda technology. It features a hot brush, curling and blow-dry attachment, so you can create sleek strands, tousled waves and much more with this nifty appliance.

We put the tool head to head with the Dyson airwrap and our tester confirmed that Shark is perhaps the best alternative to the airwrap. When it “comes down to drying alone, Shark’s flexstyle is a clear winner, thanks to its ability to turn into a powerful, fast-drying and fully-functioning hairdryer, complete with a style concentrator and diffuser.”

At-home hair removal has certainly evolved over the years, with IPL devices becoming serious staples in many people’s bathrooms. However, they can be quite costly, which is why there is all the more reason to scoop one up in Amazon’s daily deals sale.

Amazon Prime Day 2023 took place on 11-12 July. However, there needn’t be any upset about missing the sale, as the retailer has announced it will be holding another sale event in October. The dates for Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days have been confirmed as 10-11 October, giving shoppers a full 48 hours of bargain hunting.

Although Amazon offers up deals year-round, the biggest savings can always be found during its Amazon Prime Day sales events, as well as on Black Friday.

We had already been treated to an extra Amazon sale this year, in the form of the retailer’s Spring Sale – a 54-hour Prime Day-style event that took place in March. It was the first time Amazon hosted a Prime Day-style event in March, and it saw many shoppers bag themselves a bargain.
