Prime Day deals include this self-emptying Shark robot vacuum for a record-low price

Amazon Prime Day is a peak time to make upgrades to home tech, with some steep discounts on gadgets that might feel like too much of a splurge at list price. If you've been considering letting a machine take over vacuuming responsibilities in your house, then the Shark AI Ultra Robot Vacuum is on sale for just $300.

That's the lowest price we've seen for this gadget; normally you need to shell out up to $420 to add it to your housework routine. The model on sale today is a version of the one we found to be a top all-around performer in our tests of robot vacuums.

The Shark AI Ultra model is a bag-free vacuum, which we appreciate since it removes the recurring cost of replacing bags every few months. It's also a self-emptying model and this version is the 60-day capacity, meaning you can go two months before you need to get involved in disposing of the accumulated dust and dirt. Shark says it gets 120 minutes of runtime.

If you want a more heavy-duty option, the Shark Detect Pro Robot Vacuum is also on sale this Prime Day for $400. This model has the same bagless and self-emptying features as the Ultra and a 30-day capacity. It also can lift itself to better navigate around obstacles while it runs, and it uses blasts of air to better clean up corners and edges that are typically difficult for a round vacuum to reach. The average battery life is a little shorter than the Ultra at 110 minutes, but still a solid amount of cleaning time. The Prime Day discount can save you $150 off the usual $550 price tag for the Detect Pro.

Our favorite pair of budget wireless earbuds from Anker are only $45 for October Prime Day

Amazon Prime Day is back and it’s not pulling any punches. The well-regarded Anker Soundcore Space A40 earbuds are on sale for $45, which is a massive discount of $35. This is a record low price for a pair of earbuds that we once called “outstanding for the money.”

As a matter of fact, this model topped our list of the best budget wireless earbuds, and with good reason. These earbuds are light and comfortable and offer high-end audio for the price. We were especially impressed by Space A40’s active noise cancellation (ANC). It just works, which is pretty rare for budget-friendly earbuds.

There’s an affiliated app for customizing the EQ and making other adjustments, though the default sound profile should be fine for most users. We found the app to be easy to use, as it saves any changes you make directly to the earbuds.

In addition to ANC, there’s a transparency mode. It’s fairly bare bones, though it works in a pinch. Don’t go in expecting something as good as what you’d find with the AirPods Pro or another high-end pair of earbuds. Battery life, however, is solid, lasting around eight hours per charge. These earbuds can also connect to two devices simultaneously, which is always nice.

On the downside, the microphone isn’t that great, so this isn’t the best set of earbuds for making phone calls. This is particularly true when trying to talk on the phone in a noisy area. Also, the IPX4 water resistance rating is just average, though the earbuds will still survive a light rain and everyday sweat.

Prime Day TV deals include the Samsung Frame TV for a record-low price on Amazon

The October Prime Day sale at Amazon kicked off with some excellent deals on TVs and there’s one in particular we wanted to call out on this final day of Prime Day: Samsung's Frame art TV. Prime Day deals have brought the TV down to a record low of $978 for the 55-inch model. If you’ve been thinking about a TV that looks more like art when you’re not watching — instead of a black mirror — this might be the time to dive in. Other sizes are on sale as well.

For the uninitiated, The Frame TV is one-part television and one-part artistic canvas. When it’s not being used to binge shows and movies, it can display art prints. This is the perfect box for those who want to watch TV once in a while but don’t want a giant contraption taking up the entire living room. Most visitors won’t even know it’s a TV unless it's pointed out.

We’ve long sung the praises of Samsung’s The Frame TV. It boasts picture-frame edges and an ultra-thin bezel, to help with the illusion. The TV also mounts flat against the wall, so it can be placed just about anywhere. There isn’t even a large and ornery power cable. The TV connects via a thin wire that leads to an external receiver/port hub, which in turn goes to the power outlet. This wire is small enough to easily hide behind a plant or something, but it can also be dropped behind drywall and popped back out somewhere else.

As for TV specs, this is a 4K QLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate in TV mode. This refresh rate drops to 60Hz when in canvas mode because, well, there’s not that much to refresh. The matte display also limits light reflection, enhancing screen visibility in both TV and canvas mode. There is a caveat here. This sale is only for the 55-inch model, so the larger TVs will still break the bank.

The best Prime Day Samsung Galaxy deals include up to 25 percent off the Galaxy S24 lineup

Android phone fan? Not into Google's Pixel phones? Well, we have good news: Samsung has discounted the majority of its Galaxy S24 lineup as part of the final day of Amazon's October Prime Day sale — but these enticing prices are only expected to last a few more hours. The deals bring the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra down to $998, which is 23 percent off the jumbo-sized phone's list price and about $100 off its street price on Amazon in recent months. If the premium path isn't your style, the Galaxy S24+ is also on sale for $750, while the standard Galaxy S24 is on sale for $600. 

One important note: While the specs and screen sizes here often meet or exceed that of the newer Galaxy S24 FE, that model's $649 price is currently deferred by inclusion of your choice of a $100 Amazon gift card and the option to add the Galaxy Buds FE headphones for just $50 more. 

We'll quickly run through each offer below.

This is a particularly nice price cut for the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which has a list price of $1,300. That means you can keep an extra $300 compared to buying from Samsung directly and walk away with one of our top Android phones of 2024. The Ultra impressed us with the upgraded titanium frame, improved display and camera options, and AI capabilities that offered function as well as flash. Its performance from a new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC offered a 30 to 35 percent spike over the previous year's chip. One of the only downsides our review found was the price tag, so a sale like Prime Day is a great time to snap up something from the higher end of the Samsung line.

This Prime Day deal can save you $250 on the Galaxy S24+, which normally costs $1,000. The S24+ was expected to be a minor iteration on the Samsung product line, but this mid-range option provided a solid experience for customers who aren't interested in shelling out for the bleeding-edge features on top-flight, premium end of phone models. This models had respectable performance speeds in our tests, boasted a Quad HD+ screen and offered notably long battery life. The specs may not blow your mind, but it still showcased the possibilities of Samsung's Galaxy AI suite. 

Sometimes, you want to keep it simple. The introductory Galaxy S24 model is getting a $200 discount on its $800 baseline package for Prime Day. Like the S24+, this phone probably isn't going to be a conversation starter, but it's a solid choice for a workhorse device that gets daily use. And like its mid-range counterpart, the S24 packed solid battery performance into its 6.2-inch frame and it has a Full HD+ screen.
