Bottom line: Grab these premium Apple buds at the lowest price since last Prime Day.

A stick vacuum cleaner is a space-saving way to keep your home tidy, and this one from Tineco is a solid option. It weighs less than 10 pounds, has a large dustbin that easily detaches to toss that dirt and debris in the trash, and lasts up to 70 minutes on a single charge. The Pure One A50S also has a sensor that automatically adjusts the suction power to make your floors as tidy as possible.

Promising review: “I've been using a Tineco branded cordless stick mop for years now, and I love it so much that I decided I wanted to order this stick vacuum to kick out cleaning my carpet. The suction power is strong and it makes quick work of cleaning up larger debris and everyday dirt. I really like the brush since it automatically adjusts to the surface. And the battery life is really long so I can clean multiple rooms without needing to recharge it. The dustbin is fairly large as well so I don't have to constantly empty it. It's lightweight and easy to maneuver, so reaching tight spots or cleaning under furniture is pretty easy to do. So if you need a solid, cordless vacuum with plenty of power and convenient features, this vacuum is worth checking out." — Vine

Bottom line: This lightweight cordless vacuum has high-tech smart features at a less-than-premium price.

It's time to stop fumbling around with Nair and cheap razors to shed that body hair and use a laser instead. The A10 from Ulike is a (mostly) painless laser removal tool that claims to reduce visible hair after just two weeks of use with optimal results after three. It maintains an ice-cold contact temperature, stays comfy throughout use and is super simple to use.

Promising review: “Ive been using this for about 2 months, my hair definitely stopped/slowed down the growing. I use is mostly on underarms and my hair is almost gone. I did try to use it on my legs as well and boom! I dont need to shave anymore. I loved how it came, the packaging is so aesthetically pleasing. The cooling definitely helps lessen the pain and the functions works well. I started from the lowest setting and gradually increased based on my pain tolerance. There’s a booklet with instructions on it so make sure to read that, helps a lot! I am loving it so far!" — Gigi D

Bottom line: An effortless way to remove hair gets a deep, deep discount for Big Deal Days.

Promising review: “I can't tell you how happy (and relieved) I am to have found the Soundcore Sleep A20s. I'm one of those people who can't sleep unless they fall asleep to a podcast. On top of that, I'm a side sleeper. After years of tolerating clunky noise canceling headphones or being woken up with a low battery alert (Airpods Pro resolved this at one point with a tone level feature, but it stopped working) I went on a quest to find something I could finally sleep a full night in. I can confidently say the battery lasts the entire night and doesn't wake me up with a battery warning, and the sound quality is pretty good for my needs.” — Lindsay Moss

Bottom line: Ideal for side sleepers who need to drown everything out, these earbuds are the perfect solo solution to a traditional noise machine.

The Pixel Buds A-Series wireless earbuds deliver crisp audio for your music, streaming and phone calls, with comfortable in-ear buds and hands-free audio commands.

Bottom line: A pocket-sized pair of earbuds with a comfy, snug fit for phone calls, streaming and general audio needs from Google.

I've been around enough JBL Flip speakers to know they're worth the hype and price. Seriously, I've watched one get dunked into a full sink of dishes while working at Starbucks and survive without a scratch after completely plunging into hot water. These waterproof speakers pack a really powerful, punchy bass and have an incredible battery life of up to 12 hours. They light up with cool colors, which is great for staring at during parties. Also great for parties: having several more of these because they link up with JBL's PartyMode and sync audio together and create a surround-sound effect. These are awesome, and for Big Deal Days, it's more than worth a splurge.

Bottom line: A terrific and powerful Bluetooth speaker for pulling out at parties or becoming your dedicated dish-duty companion.

Word of advice from someone with experience: If you want to save living room space, ditch the television and get a projector. These serious machines can turn any wall into a personal movie theater, and with a high enough resolution, you'll never have to worry about screen size again — only how much wall space you need.

This 4K laser projector has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to stream your favorite services, including Hulu and Netflix, and cast audio to nearby speakers. Its lens is wide enough to support up to a 200-inch viewing space, plus its bright lumens means you can use it during daylight. Normally pricey, this premium projector gets a 28% discount for Big Deal Days. It also comes with a free, exclusive desktop stand.

Promising review: “I always check the bad reviews of a product before purchasing and ended up getting the Dangbei. I do not regret the decision! This is an awesome laser projector. The picture quality rivals my Sony Bravia, but for less with a 120 inch screen. It auto wakes my PS5 when I switch inputs and the remote works for it if I am streaming media. I have white lights in my basement and the screen is still very bright with them on. I would suggest getting a quality screen to match, I ended up getting the Showmaven which isn't the best, but very good without breaking the bank." — Roland 826

Bottom line: A premium projector with impressive resolution and clarity gets a steep discount this week.

If the above projector is out of your price range, consider this option, which reviewers say is of superb quality for the money. You can adjust its projection size by up to 200 inches, plus it's loaded with HBO Max, Disney+, Prime Video, Netflix and much more. The resolution is only 1080p, but reviewers say that's good enough.

Each of these Kasa smart plugs turns any regular old wall outlet into one you can set to turn on and off on a schedule or at your whim, without getting off the couch or even needing to be at home (they're especially great when you realize you left home without turning off an appliance, or when you want to make it look like someone's home while you're on vacation).

You can use either Alexa or the Kasa app or both to control them, and setup is truly simple either way: All you have to do is plug one in, push a button to connect it to your WiFi, add it to the phone app and live your life. And if you have an outlet or lamp switch that's hard to reach or stuck behind furniture, they're complete game-changers.

I own the Hatch 2 and it changed my waking life. The Restore 2’s pitch is simple: Combine a noise machine, a nightlight, an artificial sunrise, and an alarm clock into one package and make it app-compatible. The wildest part is that it truly excels at each separate task.

Now, I wake up to a gentle but bright turquoise light shining on my face, gradually illuminating over the span of 45 minutes. I no longer rely on noise, but if, on the weeks, I feel like I want it, I pair my sunrise with chirping birds. It’s loaded with over 20 audio tracks and includes everything from lo-fi hip-hop beats and ocean waves to the oddly comforting machinations of a dishwasher. If you like white noise, you can set a timer and play these before bed. You can also set different times for your sound and sunrise, or use your Restore 2 as a nightlight.

Bottom line: Right now's the perfect time to grab since it's at the lowest price of the year — even beating its July Prime Day price!

The Casio F-91 W is allegedly the company's bestselling watch of all time, and it's easy to see why: It's simple, matches with practically everything, and best of all, it's cheap. And for October Prime Day, it's even cheaper. Normally sub-$25, this small digital wristwatch is at a deep discount this week, and it's so retro-sleek that you'll likely make it your new daily beater. It has an alarm, a stockwatch, tells the date, has a small light so you can read it in the dark, and, of course, it tells time. It's also water-resistant so you can wear it while washing dishes or outside in a drizzle. Get this small accessory if you tire of pulling out your phone to check the time.

Promising review: “One of the greatest designed consumer products ever. The purpose of a watch is to tell time. This does exactly that, along with a stopwatch and alarm. No pointless extra stuff. Easy enough to figure out how to set even if you've never done it before, without directions. Slim profile, sturdy enough band. And if it breaks or if the battery just dies (shouldn't happen for years), super cheap to replace with a new F-91W. First time I have bought a style variation of the original, and I plan on getting other styles to bolster my accessory selection!” — Cory Copa

Bottom line: This is an amazingly affordable and stylish digital watch with simple functions for easygoing wear.

Everyone who owns this pair of Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless over-ear headphones raves about them, and it doesn't take much scrolling down user reviews to see why. This set packs incredible sound, an excellent microphone, reliable Bluetooth and plenty of features that make it splurge-worthy. The padding and cushioning make them perfect for wearing for hours on end, and with their smart auto-pause feature, which automatically stops music and audio when you take them off, you'll have a hard time imagining a more comfortable listening experience.

Promising review: “So happy with this purchase. I researched extensively and was between these and the Bose ones of comparable quality but these seemed to be a bit better in terms of the technology used etc. My only thing is that they feel a smidge loose on my head so if i were to lean back they’d likely start slipping, not that i need to lean back with them on. I also don’t wear these to the gym or anything. I wear these around the house, on airplanes, walking around cities, etc. the noise cancelling is excellent for planes and the ambient feature is excellent when on public transportation or walking around outside. The battery life is incredible, 30 hours. I actually love the touch screen aspect of the volume control etc. they’re very comfortable and can be worn for very extended periods of time. I’ve worn them for 9+ hours and have had no discomfort.” — Melissa Valarezo

Bottom line: If you're an audiophile needing a premium pair of multi-purpose headphones for all-day wear, this is the pair to get.

A bestseller with HuffPost readers and just in time for the seasons changing, we've kept a close eye on prices for this under-desk walking pad. It'll come in handy on days when it's too cold, rainy or smoggy to get your walk on outside. Or when you just don't feel like going out, you know? You can also easily slide it beneath a couch or bed when you're not getting those steps in.

Grab it while it's on sale during October Prime Day.

Bottom line: We predict walking pads will increase in demand and price as the season gets cooler and more folks stay inside. Better to grab it now at its discounted price.
