We’re exactly a week away from October Prime Day, which means Amazon is dropping deals on all sorts of gadgets and gizmos — particularly its own. If you prefer to shop early, we’ve rounded up three of the best deals you can grab at the mega retailer on Oct. 1. We’ll be keeping our eyes peeled all week and rounding up the best deals to add to your cart in the days leading up to the event.

Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day on Oct. 1. If these deals don’t speak to you, check back tomorrow for all new picks. Also, be sure to follow along with all of our Prime Day content as the shopping extravaganza nears.

Our top pick

Completely redesigned from the original Echo Buds, the 2023 version offers a more budget-friendly approach. As Mashable reviewer SaVanna Shoemaker noted, “For the price, the Echo Buds are a solid pair of wireless earbuds.” While they don’t offer noise cancellation or have the most comfortable fit on the market, the new Echo Buds sound great, last up to 20 hours with the charging case, are simple to use, and seamlessly pair with other Alexa devices. Plus, the price is hard to beat — especially ahead of Prime Day. They usually cost $49.99, but you can grab a pair for just $24.99 a week before the big savings event. That’s 50% off and matches the record-low from July’s Prime Day.

After a Kindle deal drought, there’s finally a light at the end of the tunnel. Ace of Oct. 1, you can grab the Kindle Paperwhite Kids at Amazon for just $114.99 instead of the usual $169.99. That’s 32% in savings and just $5 shy of its all-time low price. A boosted version of the basic Kindle Kids (which we love as a budget option), the Paperwhite Kids adds some key features like a larger display, longer battery life, double the storage, IPX8 waterproofing, and an adjustable warm light to cut down on blue light. As our reviewer noted, “It’s a piece of kids’ tech that even the most anti-screen relatives at your next family get-together won’t be able to grumble about.” Plus, with a year of Kindle Kids+ included, your kiddo will get access to a preloaded library of age-appropriate books, games, videos, and apps.

Is it just me, or is the air we breathe getting universally worse? Breathe cleaner by adding the Coway Airmega Mighty air purifier to your home. This model can clean 99. 97 percent of particles 0. 3 microns in the air in a room up to 361 square feet. The pollution sensor will let you know your indoor air quality in real time, and a colored LED lets you know just how clean (or dirty) your indoor air is at any given time. It also features three fan speeds, a timer, and an Eco mode to save energy. It’s regularly $239.99 at the Coway website, which means the savings at Amazon are actually more impressive than the list price lets on. Ace of Oct. 1, snag the air purifier for only $155.07 and save about 35%.
