I’m convinced that everyone has a metaphorical “want list” featuring one or two splurge items that haven’t yet been purchased due to their high price tag. But now that Amazon’s October Prime Day is here, it may be time to finally take the plunge on some of those expensive items that are now significantly less costly, if only for a short while longer.
I’m talking those extravagant espresso and coffee makers that truly can brew it all, one of the most impressive-sounding Bluetooth speakers out there and that famed robot vacuum that will truly make your floor cleaning routine an absolute breeze.
Keep reading to see some of the discounted items that we regret to inform you are very splurgeworthy, including a Casper cooling mattress, a game-changing percussive massage gun and the famed Dyson Airwrap multistyler, to name just a few.

It's been previously brought to our attention that standing desks can offer many benefits to your at-home or in-office work situation. Flexispot is a trusted (albeit expensive) brand known for crafting highly rated standing desks that automatically adjust to suit your need at the moment. This motorized desk promises enhanced stability and can be adjusted to four programmable height settings with the touch of a button.

Sunday Riley, the luxury skin care brand with a cult-like following, is known for using potent infusions of clinically proven ingredients, and its high-ticket product line rarely goes on sale. The brand’s C.E.O. Glow oil contains a nourishing blend of cold-pressed vitamin C, turmeric and evening primrose oil to target premature signs of aging, visibly brighten skin and improve skin texture.
Another Tineco model that's experiencing a deep discount is this even splurgier option called the One S7 Pro, a souped-up wet and dry vacuum that employs, what the brand refers to as, MHCBS technology — a system that promises A completely clean floor with continuous fresh water washing and efficient dirty water recycling. The S7 is also bi-directionally self-propelling meaning it requires practically no effort to maneuver, while each side of the head is enable with dual-edged cleaning for reaching those tight corners along baseboards and moldings.
One touch of a button on this premium De'Longhi espresso machine can churn out 18 different espresso and specialty coffee beverages from creamy lattes to frothy cappuccinos to instantly chilly coffees that pour straight over ice. The easy-to-operate and programmable functionality is supplemented with a built-in conical burr grinder outfitted with 13 settings, plus the brand's proprietary and fully adjustable LatteCrema frothing system, which makes milk that's perfectly textured for the drink of your choice.
Promising review: "I had a Breville barista express impress that I sold before purchasing this machine. I struggled to make good espresso. Never got crema, would taste awful, I'd go through almost all my coffee trying to get it dialed in (skill issue, not machine issue). This machine spits out very good espresso with one button press. Significantly better quality espresso than Starbucks. The espresso is tasting great and I'm not even at the 20 recommended shots for the break in period. No mess, no effort good coffee. My only complaints is coffee temperature I do not find that high but I don't preheat my cups. I find it the perfect temperature to immediately drink but it doesn't stay that way for very long. My other complaint is the cup warming tray on the top. It'll get slightly warm after the machines been running for 5 hours. I would've paid extra if there was a heating element for the cups." — Cameron
Always sleek and hyper-functional, this Joseph Joseph laundry hamper is a practical splurge that won't be an eyesore when set up in your bedroom, bathroom or laundry room.

The dual compartments are also lined with removable tote bags with easy-carry handles so laundry is simple to transport.
You've most likely seen this $84 French serum on TikTok with enthusiastic claims about its ability to achieve everything that retinol can, without irritation. This is in part due to resveratrol, an antioxidant with the potential to promote collagen production and deliver healthier, bouncier skin. This patented blend also includes squalene and vegan collagen, which work together to visibly firm and lift the skin. Aside from squalene and a blend of seed oils, this serum contains another popular hydrator, hyaluronic acid, which draws moisture into the skin.
Ugg may be most synonymous with their chunky sherpa-lined boots, however the trendy brand also makes luxe home goods like this oversized and reversible throw made from an ultra-soft and plush material that's also OEKO-TEX-certified to be free from any toxic substances. It's machine-washable, measures 70 x 50 inches and comes in six colors, though not all color options may be on sale for Prime Day.

With a variety of mind-blowing features like a multi-touchscreen, stereo speakers, Bluetooth connectivity, a high-quality front-facing camera and built-in microphone, the Peloton smart stationary bike has everything you need for a full workout — and it rarely goes on sale. It’s a membership-based machine, so you’ll need to purchase that subscription separately (it’s $44 a month) and then you’ll have unlimited access to a massive library of exercise content, including cycling, yoga and strength classes, led by motivating expert instructors — both in real time or previously recorded videos. You can also closely track your fitness progress by connecting Peloton directly to your smartphone or Apple watch.
Promising review: "Worth every penny. I got the bike plus and didn’t even want to write a review on it. But I feel after being on this bike for only three days I must admit the experience is grand. The bike plus itself is extremely well built, very heavy, very sturdy. The screen is very responsive and big. The speaker system is fine and loud. I was able to assemble the bike by myself but I would suggest two people due to the weight of the bike.
Now the whole point of the bike is the peloton subscription. And yes it’s worth the $45 a month. You get tons of videos with different instructors. They make you feel comfortable and push you gently to reach your goals. What’s also great is that you can turn the screen or cast it to your tv and get off your bike and do other exercises. I don’t like going to the gym. With peloton you’re getting a gym at home and for the price I’ll admit it’s expensive but if you do the math going to spin glasses is more expensive in the long run. I’ll suggest getting the shoes as well, I have them and they do make the experience feel more secure while cycling. I highly suggest getting this bike. It was worth it to me because not only are you getting a very stable bike you’re getting a great motivational experience with the subscription. Peloton is not a commitment, it’s a way of making you a healthier person and you’re the only one that can pursue it." — Edward Cullen

Promising review: "I honestly can say my wrinkles have improved after adding this to my daily routine. It obviously isn’t going to make them all go away and I probably should’ve started this prior to the wrinkles but you live and you learn. If I’m being honest though I keep purchasing mostly because it’s just a great face lotion. It goes on super thick and creamy but quickly absorbs and blends well under make up with no sticky feeling." — Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I have owned this treadmill/walking pad for a couple months now, and I am very happy with it. I needed to get some walking exercise in after having knee replacements done, and since outside isn’t always an option due to weather conditions, this does the trick! I set it up in my living room so I could watch TV while walking. (Although my cat jumped on it as I took the photo, it was not turned on here, FYI!) I found it very easy to assemble, too. I like the fact that when I have house guests, I can very easily lower the handrail and stand it on end in the closet! It is very quiet when turned on and walking on it, and the controls are extremely easy to use; no elaborate functions to have to learn. This walking pad is a great buy, and I highly recommend it." — Bionic Granny
The Zojirushi rice maker is a Japanese-crafted gadget outfitted with tons of useful features and a trusted reputation for making delicious, fluffy rice and other dishes. Previously recommended by Taka Sakaeda, chef-partner of Japanese restaurant Nami Nori in New York, this splurge-worthy appliance uses fuzzy logic technology — a computerized system that essentially allows the cooker to intuitively adjust cooking times and temperatures based on the type of rice and current level of moisture.

I know you may be thinking that $200 for a facial brush seems incredibly steep, however, I made the switch to silicone facial brushes years ago and I've never looked back. Specifically because they do a superior job of getting my skin clean and lightly exfoliated (something I feel my fingertips just don't live up to). The Luna 3 (which I own and love) employs all the hallmark qualities of a good sonic facial cleansing device: It's gentle enough for my sensitive skin yet also effective enough to eliminate every stitch of debris in its path. No pesky smears of foundation are left on your cotton pad with this guy.
It uses ultrasonic vibrations that are channeled through soft and hypoallergenic bristles to effectively remove residue while clearing the way for better skin care product absorption. I've also found after regular use, this has made my skin softer and left me with fewer clogged pores.
You can also flip the facial brush around and use the rippled surface, combined with low frequency pulsations, to give your face a relaxing massage.
