Foodi, Creami, Thirsti, you name it — if there's a Ninja appliance that you've been thinking about splurging on, it's probably on sale for Prime Big Deal Days.
After a stellar showing during Prime Day in July, Ninja's section of our October Prime Day kitchen deals list is, once again, huge. Whether you're looking to ditch a few old appliances and consolidate with a multitasking air fry grill and oven, need to replace your nonstick pans that aren't so nonstick anymore, or just need to know if the hype around the Ninja Creami is legit, you can save up to 50% on a new Ninja gadget on Oct. 8 and 9.
SEE ALSO: Testing the Ninja Slushi by making a frozen version of every drink I can think ofWeirdly enough, the only Ninja category not getting a ton of traction for Prime Big Deal days are its Foodi pressure cookers — guess they're letting Instant Pot have this one.
We're keeping a running list of the best October Prime Day Ninja deals below, updating as soon as any new deals drop. Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price. Deals with a strikeout were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.
Best October Prime Day kitchen deals Opens in a new window Credit: Ninja Ninja Foodi 10-in-1 XL Pro Countertop Convection Oven $219.99 at AmazonOne of the juicier discounts we found on any Ninja Foodi so far during Prime Big Deal days was a 43% slash on the 8-in-1 XL air frying oven. It has since sold out, but the 10-in-1 Foodi is also at a decent discount with $80 off. The 10-in-1 oven has buttons for air fry, air roast, bake, whole roast, broil, toast, bagel, dehydrate, reheat, and pizza, and it can do two of those at once. The two-shelf design is seriously spacious, fitting two 12-inch pizzas, a tray of veggies and a five-pound chicken, or a full 12-pound turkey if you remove the shelf.

With a runtime of up to 40 minutes on a single charge, this little vac is ideal for small apartments and quick cleanups.
You can get it at Amazon for a whopping 299.99 in a Big Prime Deal (originally $469.99). It’s out of stock at Dyson.

The Dyson Airwrap is $100 off for Prime members, bringing it to $499.99. (It's not on sale at Dyson.) That’s still a lot of money to pay for a hair styler, but it’s a cult-fave for a reason. It’s designed to dry and style hair without super-high heat, so it's healthier for your hair and cuts down on styling time. You’ll also get a fancy storage case and multiple styling attachments.
Mashable’s shopping reporter, Bethany Allard, says it best: “If you have the cash to spare, heat style regularly, and don't mind that your curls won't be locked in all day, the Dyson Airwrap is worth the investment.”

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.
There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.
An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.
If you find yourself stuck at any step of today's Hurdle, don't worry! We have you covered.

Not that long ago, a 3D printing hobby wasn't really possible unless you had serious cash to burn. These days, while buying a 3D printer isn't super cheap, there are definitely some affordable options out there, which only become more so during sales like Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days.
None of the below deals from brands like AnkerMake, Sovol, and Anycubic are officially tied to Big Deal Days, but some of them are limited to Prime members only. These printers are also all from third-party sellers, with the Bambu deal coming straight from the brand's website.
SEE ALSO: Amazon's early Prime Day laptop deals are finally ramping up: Shop record lows on Apple, LG, and AcerWhile we typically only recommend products shipped and sold by Amazon, we found that 3D printers are mainly sold by third-party sellers. We still vetted the seller pages and brands, but as always, we recommend shopping at your own risk with third-party — if something feels way too good to be true, it probably is.
With all that said, here are the best 3D printer deals ahead of October Prime Day's official start on Oct. 8.
Best 3D printer deal Opens in a new window Credit: AnkerMake AnkerMake M5C 3D Printer $199.99 at AmazonOur friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) deemed the AnkerMate M5C the best budget option for folks looking to get a 3D printer. They were fans of how easy the printer was to use, and how quickly it worked without sacrificing quality. It comes without higher end features like real-time video monitoring or an on-device display, but as Senior Analyst Tony Hoffman writes "it has a generous print area for its price, and the prints we produced were of high quality, even with the default settings in the slicer software." In other words, it's a great buy even at full price, so shaving $100 off the price makes it an even better value 3D printer.

So, when a tricky clue disrupts a player's flow, it can be frustrating! If you find yourself stumped playing The Mini — much like with Wordle and Connections — we have you covered.

Best Buy is typically a much bigger threat than Amazon when it comes to laptop deals, including gaming ones. But during any Prime event, like Prime Big Deal Days (happening Oct. 8 and 9), there are definitely a few solid options to choose from. These include several Acer Nitro models and our favorite overall gaming laptop, the Alienware M16 R2, down to a new record-low price according to Amazon price history tracker Camelcamelcamel.
SEE ALSO: 'Metaphor: ReFantazio' review in progress: The 'Final Fantasy XV' I've always wantedWe'll be tracking the best gaming laptop deals at Amazon throughout the end of October Prime Day, though we'd definitely recommend taking a peek at Best Buy's conveniently-timed 48-hour Flash Sale before making your final move on your gaming laptop purchase.
Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price. Deals with a strikeout were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.
Best October Prime Day gaming laptop deal Our pick: Acer Nitro 16 (AMD Ryzen 5 7640HS, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $799.99 at Amazon"The Nitro 16 is a big-screened budget gaming laptop that's equipped with an AMD Ryzen 5 7640HS CPU from early 2023, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 graphics, a flashy RGB backlit keyboard, and a 165Hz display. Its measly 8GB of memory is a drawback, but that's totally workable if you only plan on playing lower-end games like Fortnite and Minecraft. (Otherwise, you can put your savings towards a memory upgrade.)" — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

Happy October Prime Day to all who celebrate. Amazon has dropped prices on the usual suspects (Apple, laptops, TVs, headphones, etc.) as well as categories you might not expect, like Lego building sets.
If you're looking for a creative way to kill some time this season or a fun gift for practically anyone in your life (kids and adults), these Lego deals are pretty dang good. With price drops across all Lego building set categories — Lego Icons, Lego Friends, Lego Creator, Lego Classic, etc. — there's something for everyone. And many sets are even at record-low prices. Make note, though, that a lot of these deals are Lightning deals, which means once the bar on the right reaches 100% claimed, they'll disappear.
We're keeping a running list of the best October Prime Day Lego deals below. We'll be updating the list with new deals as they pop up.
Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price. Deals with a strikeout were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.

You can build two different astronauts, a space shuttle, a spaceship model, a space viper jet, and an adorable space dog. Beyond play, the set contains brick-built stands as well, so all of your galactic creations can be displayed after building. Snag the play pack — which includes the Lego Creator Space Shuttle (31134) and Lego Creator Space Astronaut (31152) kits — for just $44.99 during Prime Big Deal Days. That's a savings of 31% and the lowest price on record.

Amazon sales like Prime Big Deal Days are one of the best times to buy a Kindle on the cheap, but they can also be a great time to pick up e-books.
For the first day of the two-day event that is Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon has marked down tons of e-books, from self help to fiction and children's books, for prices as low as $1.99.
SEE ALSO: We tried every Amazon Kindle to find the best for every reader — just in time for Prime DayThe sheer number of books Amazon marked down means you'll likely have to do a little digging to find what you want to read — but to make your job easier, we put together a list of 13 of the best Kindle book deals available so far. (As a note, these markdowns are in comparison to the regular print prices of these books). Check them out below, and be sure to check out everything else on sale during Prime Big Deal Days and follow along with our live blog.
Best Kindle book deal Opens in a new window Credit: Europa Editions 'The Story of the Lost Child' by Elena Ferrante $3.99 at AmazonObviously, taste in books is very personal, but for anyone out there who likes decade-spanning series about the complexities of female friendship, the Neapolitan novels fit the bill. You've probably seen this book recommended before, but I have to add my endorsement. When I finally picked up this series earlier this summer, I found myself unable to read anything else until I finished all four books — currently, my friend who I lent the first book is in the same cycle (and for anyone who's read the series, yes, we do text about how much we hate Nino).
Basically, if you've read or are planning on reading the first one, I'm willing to bet you'll be in need of the fourth one at some point — might as well get it for $3.99. And when you're done reading the books, you can check out the show.

Planning a camping trip? It might be a little brisk outside as we head into fall proper, but some of the best camping outings have taken place under the stars in the crisp autumn air, all in the great outdoors. If you need some gear to make your trip happen, you can save some serious cash right now on everything you need for a successful outing during Prime Day.
Amazon has cut prices across the board on a number of camping gear essentials, from Solo Stoves to hydration backpacks and everything in between. Whatever you may find yourself needing while out there in the wilderness, chances are Amazon has you covered. Check out some of our favorite picks that you can shop right now.
Best camping deal Opens in a new window Credit: Camelbak Camelbak Lobo 9 Bike Hydration Pack $62.99 at AmazonOne of the most important aspects of camping, or any outdoor activity for that matter, is staying hydrated. Without water or a good way to get it, you're cooked — so make sure you take plenty of water with you with a hydration backpack. This one can hold plenty of H2O in its reservoir and has plenty of space for additional supplies with a magnetic tube strap to keep your drinking tube around when you need it. It has a breathable mesh harness to keep you cool and comfortable, as well as a compartment where you can store your helmet instead of wearing it or carrying it to your destination. For less than $100, the Camelbak Lobo 9 Bike Hydration Pack may well be your lifeline one day should you encounter an emergency while camping. And believe it or not, not having enough water at your disposal is an emergency.

UPDATE: Oct. 8, 2024, 6:48 a.m. EDT This article has been updated with the latest unlocked phone deals on Prime Big Deal Days event.
The best October Prime Day unlocked phone deals at a glance: BEST SAMSUNG GALAXY DEAL Samsung Galaxy S24 FE $649.99 at Amazon (get a free $100 Amazon gift card) Get Deal BEST MOTOROLA DEAL Motorola razr 2023 (128GB) $398.62 at Amazon (save $301.37) Get DealIf upgrading your phone is on your fall agenda, Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days could be the perfect opportunity to snag one at a sweet discount. Rather than coordinating a trade-in or new data plan at a specific carrier, save yourself the trouble and check out Amazon's list of unlocked phones. We'll let you in on a little secret: you can usually find better deals.
While Prime Big Deal Days doesn't officially kick off until tomorrow, Oct. 8, unlocked phone deals started appearing weeks ago at Amazon, particularly on Samsung Galaxy and Motorola phones. Google Pixel deals have been scarce, but we'll definitely be keeping our eyes peeled for more once the shopping event actually begins. We'll be shocked if any unlocked iPhone deals pop up, but there's always a small glimmer of hope.
Here are the best unlocked phone deals at Amazon ahead of the official October Prime Day. We'll be refreshing the list throughout the event, so keep checking back if you don't see the phone you want just yet.
Best Samsung Galaxy deal Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung / Amazon Samsung Galaxy S24 FE $649.99 at AmazonA new budget-friendly, mid-range phone, the Galaxy S24 FE allows Samsung fans to experience bits of the S24 series' perks without spending an arm and a leg. Just unveiled at the end of Sept., Mashable's Kim Gedeon was able to play with one for a couple hours and found that it's a "solid sub-$700 phone with a 50MP wide camera that matches the Galaxy S24 (though not as good as the 200MP lens on my Galaxy S24 Ultra), Galaxy AI support, and a slightly bigger battery." For a limited time, you can score a free $100 Amazon gift card with the purchase of the S24 FE. As a bonus, you can also get the Samsung Buds FE for only $49.99 (reg. $99.99) with your purchase.

Motorola's first foldable razr phone was a major disappointment, as Mashable's reviewer Brenda Stolyar pointed out. Fortunately, the 2023 model made some big improvements, including the annoying hinge, the display, the battery life, and the price. The external display is not very useful (you'll have to upgrade to the razr+ for a larger one), but as our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) noted, "If you’re looking to dip your toes into the swelling pool of foldables, the 2023 Razr is a good place to start." Regularly $699.99, it's on sale ahead of Prime Big Deal Days for just $398.62. That's a savings of 43% and its lowest price to date.

If you're reading this, you're looking for a little help playing Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game.
Strands requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.
SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on MashableBy providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.

You'll get alerts on your smartphone when motion is detected, or you can customize your notifications or detection zones. Setting up the Blink Mini includes plugging it into a power source and connecting it to your home's WiFi.
The Blink Mini usually costs $29.99, but thanks to this early October Prime Day deal, you can get the camera for just $17.99. That's an impressive 40% discount.
