When is October Prime Day?
Amazon holds a Prime Big Deal Days sales event every October. This year, October Prime Day is happening on October 6 and 7.
How did we choose these Amazon Prime Day deals?
At ZDNET, we write about legitimately good deals on products we’ve tested, covered, and would recommend. As a consumer electronics reviewer, I test dozens of products throughout the year. I also cover deals throughout the year, so I’ve become familiar with price fluctuations, which helps me determine which deals are actually worth your hard-earned money.
