The Best Amazon Prime Big Deal Days 2026 Deals: MacBooks, AirPods, Pool Cleaners, and More
Amazon fall Prime Day, also known as Big Deal Days 2026, began on October 6 and runs through midnight tonight. You’ll need an Amazon Prime membership to take advantage of the discounts.
Featured Prime Day deal
Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra: $2,299 $1,954
We’ve tested many pool-cleaning robots, and this one stands out. It cleans floors, walls, and water pipes, then floats to the surface when it’s finished so you don’t have to retrieve it from the bottom of the pool.
It’s only October, but it’s never too early to start holiday shopping. We’ve reviewed the available deals and selected the best options based on years of testing and product reviews. WIRED’s Prime Day picks include products personally tested and reviewed by members of our team. Use price-tracking tools to avoid misleading discounts. Our selections focus on reliable gear rather than poor-quality knockoffs or overpriced products.

The Best Apple Deals
Apple MacBook Air M5: $1,099 at Amazon
After testing dozens of laptops this year, I still recommend the MacBook Air M5 over any other laptop. It offers the best balance of performance, battery life, and a thin chassis. Laptop prices have increased significantly over the past year, making this deal especially appealing. It’s currently at its lowest price since June and is one of the best Prime Day laptop deals available. —Luke Larsen
Apple AirPods Pro 3: $179 at Amazon and Best Buy
The Apple AirPods Pro 3 are among the best wireless earbuds for iPhone owners. They offer strong noise cancellation, a natural transparency mode, clear and detailed audio, and features including a built-in heart-rate sensor and live translation. The heart-rate sensor is particularly useful for workouts: With only your phone and earbuds, you can track GPS, heart-rate zones, and calorie data. —Harry Rabinowitz
Apple Mac Mini Deals
The Mac Mini has been sold out for much of the year as interest grows in using it as a local AI-agent machine. The latest M6 model is faster and more expensive than previous models, but being able to buy it now is significant. Amazon has the best deals on the latest Mac Mini models. —Luke Larsen
