The best Amazon early Prime Day deals include an Apple iPad at an all-time low price
Save up to 70% (and more) on home goods and tech finds — plus, snag brands like iRobot and Yankee Candle for way less.
With fall officially here, it isn't just the weather that's transitional. This time of year, our very behavior mimics the up-and-down nature of the meteorological conditions. We take advantage of these last few precious balmy afternoons to get those exterior DIY projects done and/or frolic under the sun, only to hurriedly dash inside for a cozy curl-up when the inevitable nip kicks in. Enjoy that final tanning session on the lawn — there's a hurricane on the way! You get the idea...
...and so does Amazon. This weekend's slate of early October Prime Day deals toggles between the great outdoors and home, sweet home. Finally install that video doorbell; this one from Ring is now just $60, down from $100. Vanquish that pile of leaves with a brawny blower at half-price. Got a foliage drive or bike ride on the agenda? Pump up those tires with this portable inflator (75% off). And/or ... head indoors and bask in the pumpkin spice deliciousness of a Yankee Candle (marked down 45%), conk out on a queen-size sheet set for an absurd $18 or ensconce yourself in an oversized batwing sweater ($60 — $28).
So, who knows? You may spend this weekend sweating or swaddling; just make sure to leave some time for "adding to cart."

Never mind that it's a previous-generation model: iPads hold their value, and this iteration is one of the best tablets you can buy, period — especially at this heavily discounted price. A price break of $130 is significant, but that markdown is even more eye-catching when you consider this model comes with 64GB of storage. This is the absolute lowest price on record for the 9th Generation iPad — we highly recommend grabbing it while it's 40% off.
Take your bird-watching to the next level via this nifty handheld telescope. With features like HD zoom and 80x magnification, you'll be able to enjoy wildlife, concerts, sporting events and more with a crystal-clear, up-close view. The No. 1 bestseller even comes with a tripod and smartphone holder so you can take photos and videos through its lens. We've never seen it listed for $600, but this sale price is as low as it gets.
A top-selling Roomba that's down to just $179 — the lowest we've ever seen it on sale for? We'll take two! This gizmo will zap up all of that dust and debris on your floor while you relax on the sofa — nothing wrong with that. It runs for up to 120 minutes before heading back to its charging dock, and you can even schedule cleanings via the app.

This No. 1 bestselling, solar-fueled charging bank packs 42,000mAh of power into its (admittedly) bulky frame, and even includes a flashlight that can run continuously for up to 100 hours. Plan on going camping this year? You'd be wise to pack this juuust in case. The starting price is heavily inflated, but you're still getting it for close to as low as we've seen with this deal.
Why keep tripping over shampoo bottles when these handy shower shelves exist? This popular set claims to hold up to 40 pounds (that's a lot of gel, conditioner and body wash) and comes with five storage racks in different sizes for all your bathtime essentials. All you need to do is apply the included adhesive to stick 'em on the wall.
Some colors, like rose gold, retail for $70, so the fact that this one is over 70% less? Grab a set for every bathroom!
You'll be so relieved you had this portable air compressor in the trunk when you realize one tire's looking a little floppy. It takes just minutes to pump it back to normal, and you can do all four on a single charge. You can also use it on b-balls, bike tires and balloons. Snag it while it's down to the lowest price we've seen (even though the $200 starting price is about as inflated as your tires are soon to be.)

While we love the cooler temps fall introduces, the leaf maintenance? Not so much. But that's why tools like this top-selling leaf blower exist. Despite its 4-pound size, it can reach speeds as fast as 150 MPH to clear your yard in no time, and because it comes with two batteries, you'll be able to work for up to 20 minutes before needing a charge (10 minutes per battery). This is as low as it's ever been on sale for, so snag it while it's 50% off.
You're getting the best of both orchard and patch with this top-selling candle.

It comes in many colors, but this burnt orange is particularly fitting for the season. The price is right at $21 — just about as low as we've seen it all year.

There's a reason this cooling sheet set is a No. 1 bestseller — several reasons, in fact. For starters, it's made of brushed microfiber that feels much softer than its affordable price tag would suggest, and the moisture-wicking material will help you stay dry while you snooze. Add to that the fact that these sheets are pill-, wrinkle- and fade-resistant? No wonder sleepers are comparing them to high-end bedding brands like Brooklinen.
Check out our roundup of the best cooling sheets for additional options.
The "rich mom" trend is popping up everywhere and refers to a timeless, effortlessly put-together aesthetic that looks luxurious and expensive but doesn't necessarily have to break the bank.

If your yard's in need of some heavy-duty pruning, this small but mighty chainsaw is powerful enough to take down tree branches, yet weighs under 2.5 pounds. To make things even more convenient, this top-seller is cordless. Overgrown shrubs, you've met your match. This deal drops the price to $29, which is as low as we've ever seen it.
One Yahoo editor awarded this blade the title of best budget chef's knife after testing a slew of them. She says, "When I started culinary school, I was issued a curated set of knives and tools we would need to work with through our 600 hours of training in order to graduate. This Mercer Culinary chef's knife was the one we received that day and what we would use for 90% of our daily tasks. That should give you an idea of what this knife is capable of — and of its durability.
The Genesis may not be a flashy knife, but it is a real workhorse in the kitchen. This Western-style knife is forged from a single piece of high-carbon German steel and features a handle made from Santoprene (a rubbery material) that ensures a firm grip even in damp hands."
It only dropped lower in price once this year ... so chop chop!
An air fryer is just the ticket when you want a hot meal without turning on the oven. This top-rated model heats up quickly and holds up to 2.5 pounds of fries or 14 wings at a time.
