Amazon Prime Day UK - Live: Top offers on electric toothbrushes, Ninja air fryers, Airpods and more
Follow live for the best offers in Amazon’s October Prime Day sale
Assemble, bargain hunters – Amazon’s 48-hour October Prime Day is here. Whether you’re after the latest tech, the best beauty products or a handy kitchen appliance with a discount, there are thousands of deals now live on the platform.
The Prime Big Deal Days sale (that’s what it’s officially called) kicked off this morning and will run on until tomorrow evening at 11:59pm, which means there are two days to snap up the best bargains.
The retailer has of course slashed the price of its own-brand gadgets – think Fire TV Sticks, Kindle tablets, Echo smart speakers and even its Ring video doorbells. But everything from TVs and laptops to beauty and home appliances, including vacuum cleaners, heated clothes airers and dehumidifiers, as well as tech from Apple, home essentials and electric toothbrushes from Oral-B have seen their prices plummet too.
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 almost £60 on this heated clothes airer
Trying to dry your clothes in the winter is a real pain in the backside. Not so with a heated airer, and I’ve just found this discount on one of The Independent’s favourite rails.
Black + Decker heated clothes airer: Was £155, now £109.99, Amazon.co.uk
Boasting the IndyBest’s seal of approval, our reviewer dubbed it the best-heated airer for families. It “can handle a full washing machine load of clothes and more”, while the “rails are spaced out more than on other rail-based airer models, which makes arranging clothes over it fast and simple”, they said.
Save £120 on this Nespresso coffee machine this Prime Day
Nespresso vertuo plus coffee machine: Was £199.99, now £79.99, Amazon.co.uk
Looking to cut down on shop bought coffees? Nespresso’s vertuo plus is slashed in price by a massive 60 per cent, which brings the price down to under £80. We dubbed it the best for long coffees in our review, where our tester noted its ease of use. The machine “automatically detects the size of the pod and delivers your coffee in about 20 seconds”, they said. And, crucially, it produced great coffee with “a good amount of crema on top”, too.
Wake up naturally with this deal on the Lumie sunrise alarm clock
Lumie sunrise alarm clock: Was £49.99, now £32.99, Amazon.co.uk
With the mornings getting darker, you might be finding it harder to pull yourself out of bed (I certainly am). Sunrise alarm clocks help us rise more naturally. Tried and tested by the team, Lumie’s pocket-friendly model is now even more of a steal, thanks to this Amazon Big Deal Days discount. It has a sunrise and a sunset function complete with 10 brightness levels, and it has six alarm sounds. What’s more, our tester noted that “it can also be used for mood lighting, with six different colour options for the rest of the day”.
Save 20% on this sustainable electric toothbrush
Electric toothbrushes are way better than manual ones, but they don’t come cheap. One of tech writer Steve’s favourite toothbrushes is this sustainable and eco-friendly one from Suri, which has just tumbled in price.
Suri sustainable sonic toothbrush: Was £95, now £76, Amazon.co.uk
A star of Steve’s round-up of the best electric toothbrushes, the stylish and sustainable Suri ditches plastic in favour of replaceable brush heads made from cornstarch and castor oil – and no, it doesn’t taste like either of those things. Green credentials aside, it’s a smart-looking brush with a stylish, pencil-thin travel case. He loves it, and with a 20 per cent discount, it’s never been cheaper.
Amazon Prime Day has arrived,
The Amazon Prime Big Deal Days has arrived! Essentially Amazon’s second Prime Day of the year, thousands of deals have dropped, and thousands more are set to crash land in the coming hours. Lasting for a full 48 hours, we’ll be tracking the best deals live throughout the entirety of the event – from morning ‘til night. First fab deal on the agenda? The AirPods Pro have just crashed to an all-time low price.
Apple AirPods Pro 2: Was £229, now £179, Amazon.co.uk
The AirPods Pro 2 are some of the best earbuds you can buy, and right now they’re back down to their lowest ever price at Amazon. With a comfortable fit, impressive sound quality, and effective noise cancellation that rivals even the most expensive earbuds, the AirPods Pro 2 are the best choice for iPhone users who want top-sounding audio. In fact, I review audio gear all the time, and they’re the pair I’m using right now.
Save 60% on the Amazon Echo Dot
With half an hour to go, Amazon really can’t wait to get this deals bonanza started. Sarah’s just spotted this superb saving on the Amazon Echo Dot, which is a step-up from the Echo Pop I highlighted earlier this morning, and it’s not much more expensive either. With a huge 60 per cent discount, Sarah’s got all the details on the Echo Dot saving.

You can save more than £30 on the eCommerce giant’s smart gadget
If the iPad deal I highlighted this morning is still too pricey for your liking, then the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 makes a worthy budget option if you need a capable tablet, and it’s also on sale.
Samsung Galaxy tab A9: Was £209, now £169, Amazon.co.uk
A steal at £169, Samsung’s budget-friendly A-series impresses with its bright display and premium-feeling metal frame. It runs on a decently powerful chip, and, while you get less storage and RAM than you would in more-expensive tablets, performance never feels sluggish. The design features battery life up to 10 hours and a Dolby Atmos sound system, as well as front and back cameras for taking calls and capturing memories.
Save 35% on this Tefal air fryer
If you’re still yet to jump on the air fryer hype train, now’s your chance. I’ve just spotted this deal on a Tefal air fryer that you’ll want to take a look at.
Tefal easy fry max digital air fryer: Was £119.99, now £77.99, Amazon.co.uk
Slashed in price by a sizzling 35 per cent, Tefal’s air fryer is complete with a sizeable 5l capacity pan to cater for up to four people, it boasts 10 different cooking presets (think frying, roasting, baking and more) There’s a digital touch screen for ease, while its rapid-air-technology feature makes fried dishes with fewer calories and uses 70 per cent less energy than your oven. Plus, the non-stick air frying basket is dishwasher safe, helping with easy clean-up and a stress-free cooking experience.
Here’s an early laptop Prime Day deal
If you want to upgrade your laptop this Prime Day, tech writer Steve has found a tidy deal on this Lenovo 2-in-1 chromebook.
Lenovo IdeaPad duet 3: Was £399.99, now £327.54, Amazon.co.uk
A two-in-one Chromebook, the Lenovo IdeaPad duet 3 detaches from its keyboard cover, so you can use it as a portable 11in tablet. It runs on the mobile Chrome operating system, which means you can’t use regular Windows apps or games, but it can do everything your web browser can do, such as browsing (obviously enough), document writing, spreadsheets and presentations. Pick one up now with a saving of almost 20 per cent.
