Our fall installment of Amazon Prime Day deals *officially* have come to an end, but several discounts still remain to be had. While the sale was for only 48-hours, consider this your last chance to bag a cheap (er) coffee maker, air fryer, vacuum cleaner or lawn mower from the online-only reseller. To help, I've price-checked all of the Prime Day deals still available.
This is all in a bid to get you ready for the Black Friday holiday shopping. Amazon, as with other resellers and indeed brands, often have a show of discounts around this time in fall that can be seen as a teaser for what's in store (online) for us on the last Friday of November. It doesn't necessarily mean that you should start filling your carts right now, it's more of a heads up that certain products will be discounted. I, for one, am expecting to see discounts on washers, dryers and dishwashers since the small appliances have had their promo time already.
While it may feel premature to be even thinking about Black Friday let alone mentioning it, it would be worth noting that you don't need to be signed up to Prime membership for taking advantage of the sales. While it may benefit you to have the membership for free and faster delivery, it doesn't stop you from getting a potentially deeper discount on a product from your wish list. For example, the Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe Coffee and Espresso Machine is further discounted from it's Prime Day price of $119 down to $109 on Amazon right now, which may not be this price come next month.
This deal, and any other extended deal, may not be available for much longer in aftermath of Prime Day so if you see something that you need / want (and have the budget) then I'd advise adding to cart sooner rather than later.

Amazon Prime Day deals: FAQs
What is Prime Big Deal Days?
Prime Big Deal Days was a two day event much like the Prime-Day event held early this year in July. This second installment landed in October which meant that some even referred to the event as a more memorable "October Prime Day".
Similar to July's event, we saw several epic Prime Day deals available in a couple of weeks running up to the event. Coffee maker deals, vacuum deals and lawn mower deals (AND more) were all in the mix of discounts. I kept a particularly eager eye out for discounts on Amazon-own brand Ring video doorbells and Echo smart speakers since these send to be dropped by up to 60% off the RRP.
When does Prime Day start and end?
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days started on Tuesday, 8 October and lasted through to midnight Wednesday, 9 October.
How long is Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day is a 2-day event which promises thousands of deals to Prime-members only. Over the past couple of years there has been two Prime Days - one in July and the other in October - which have lasted for the same amount of time.
How do I become an Amazon Prime member?
To access Amazon Prime Day deals, you must be an Amazon Prime member. This costs $14.99 per month, and you can cancel anytime.
However, if you haven't subscribed to become a member, you can use the 30-day Amazon Prime free trial to buy the deals. You won't be eligible if you've used it in past Prime Day sales or previously signed up for the subscription service.
While on the free trial, you can get all the other membership benefits, including free next-day shipping, access to Prime Video, and more. You can cancel for free any time during the trial while you're in the 30-day window, so it's worth considering for sale events like this.
Are Prime Big Deal Days any good?
It often depends what you're looking for. It's a good chance for you to bag an Amazon-own device and small appliances such as air fryers, microwaves and coffee makers. Brands such as Keurig, Nespresso and Ninja generally tend to have some of the lowest prices of the year during Prime Big Deal Days, too, so they would be looking out for.
To ensure that you are getting the best deals, I'd advise using CamelCamelCamel and Honey (a Chrome extension) so that you can check the pricing history. This way, you'll be able to see if you are looking at a good Prime Big Deal Days deals or not.
Amazon Prime Day vs Black Friday: what's the difference?
When scouting for Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday deals, these major shopping events will have the products and/or devices you want for less. There are a couple of key differences, however:
The biggest difference is that Amazon Prime Day provides exclusive discounts and offers only for their Prime members. In contrast, other retailers share discounts and deals during Black Friday with all shoppers. The timings of the two events are different, too, with Prime Day running two events in the year of late - one in the summer and the other in the fall, with Black Friday historically taking place on the last Friday of November.
Until recently, Prime Day was a fantastic opportunity to buy smart home devices such as the best video doorbells, smart speakers, and smart lights. Black Friday was an opportunity to obtain large appliances, furnishings, mattresses, and other household goods. However, with Prime Day now becoming a fixture not once but twice a year and a growing demand, brands listed with Amazon are jumping on the bandwagon so that you can get your hands on a wider selection of products.
