Amazon Big Deal Days is October 7-8, and Lifehacker is sharing the best sales based on product reviews, comparisons, and price-tracking tools before it's over.


October’s Prime Day is here, and these are my picks for the best fitness equipment you can get at a worthwhile discount. Compared to yesterday's early deals, today's deals have added some big-name items, such as Pelotons and Powerblocks, while NordicTrack treadmills and Lifepro dumbbells have dropped in price even further. Most of this fitness equipment can be paired with a fitness tracker or smartwatch, so if you're looking for one of those, check out my full roundup of fitness tracker and smartwatch sales. (I’ll keep updating this article as more things go on sale.)

The best Prime Day deals on weights

This Fitvids Olympic bumper plate set is a good deal, giving you 370 pounds of weight for $399.99. It includes a regulation-sized bar with 2” sleeves, and one pair each of bumper plates in 55, 45, 35, 25, 15, and 10 pounds. Some of those weights are an unusual choice—most of us would skip the 35s and 15s and just get extras of the more common sizes—but there’s nothing wrong with loading a bar this way, and you’ll certainly get plenty of use out of a set like this. (Bumpers are especially good for home gyms since they deaden a bit of the sound and impact of deadlifts on the floor.)

Adjustable dumbbells

Powerblocks are on sale, with these 5 to 50-pound Elite EXP adjustables going for $339.51 for a pair. The 90-pound version is $738.65 for a pair, down from $869.99. A single Powerblock 100, which goes up to 100 pounds, is $509.14, down from $599.99.

This Lifepro pair of 25-pound adjustables is $161.50, normally $199.99. Or get this single 90-pound adjustable dumbbell for $191.99, normally $319.99.

The best Prime Day deals on cardio equipment

Exercise bikes

The original Peloton Bike is down to $1,045, from $1,445. The Bike+ is $1,795, down from $2,495. (The new Cross Training bikes are not on sale.) If you'd like to pick up some accessories while you're Peloton shopping, the branded square dumbbells are all 15% off today, and many of the Altos premium shoes are deeply discounted. These in size 8 women's/6.5 men's are just $52.98.

Pooboo has its airbike available for $474.99 after a digital coupon, down from a list price of $699.99. Merach's Magnetic Pro screen-enabled spin bike with streaming fitness content is $379.99, down from $699.99

Rowers

Two Hydrow rowers are on sale today. The Hydrow Origin, with a 22” screen and streaming content, is $1,645, down from $2,195. And the Hydrow Wave, with a 16” screen, is $1,694, down from $1,995. For more on this brand, read our own Meredith Dietz’s review of a different model, the Hydrow Arc. She was impressed by both the rower’s build quality and Hydrow’s “genuinely intelligent training experience.”

Amazon Big Deal Days is October 7-8, and Lifehacker is sharing the best sales based on product reviews, comparisons, and price-tracking tools before it's over.


If you still need to outfit your kitchen, day two of Amazon’s Prime Day brings even more significant deals on kitchen appliances. Whether you’re looking for blenders, mixers, air fryers, or waffle makers (or all of the above), there are some impressive discounts on offer right now.

The best Prime Day deal on an ice maker

If your refrigerator doesn’t come with an ice maker and your last party was a stress test of your ability to stack multiple trays in your freezer (or make multiple trips to buy bagged ice), this portable/countertop ice maker from Frigidaire is 44% off. It can give you 26 pounds of ice per day, which is a lot of ice (that’s nine ice cubes every seven minutes, so your guests won’t have to wait long). Plus, it goes anywhere you do.

The best Prime Day deal on a hand mixer

No matter how fancy technology gets, every kitchen still needs a hand mixer. This sleek model from KitchenAid is well-loved by the folks who have bought it, and at nearly 30% off, it’s an easy choice to make—especially since it’s cordless, so you won’t have to worry about reaching outlets or managing power cords.

The best Prime Day Deal on a vacuum sealer

Throwing away leftovers? In this economy? Yeah, no one’s doing that. This FoodSaver vacuum sealer is a great way to keep all your food fresh. You can customize the size of the bag to fit the precise portions you’re trying to preserve, making it an efficient way to slow down food waste in the home. It’s 32% off for Prime Day.

The best Prime Day deal on a cold press juicer

If you’re a dedicated juicer, you know that they can be pricey and difficult to keep clean. It can also be a challenge to find one that doesn’t give you more pulp than juice. This cold press juicer from Yoyds has great reviews and is currently 60% off, so you can pick it up for just $120.

The best Prime Day deal on a kitchen scale

The value of a reliable, accurate, and durable kitchen scale is often overlooked. If you’ve been relying on a grimy old plastic scale for your recipes, stop immediately and grab this high-tech digital scale from KitchenAid that’s 40% off right now. It has two platforms that can be used simultaneously, you can zero-out weights as you add ingredients, and it’s very durable.

The best Prime Day deal on a slow cooker

Nothing beats a slow cooker for stress-free cooking: Dump a bunch of raw ingredients in there in the morning, uncover a deliciously cooked meal in the evening. This classic Crock-Pot slow cooker is 50% off right now. For $30, you get a 2.5 quart cooker that’s ideal for making single meals or just keeping things warm while you take care of other business. If you want an upgrade to a larger slow cooker, Crock Pot also offers this model that’s currently 40% off.

The best Prime Day deal on a toaster oven

Sometimes what you need isn’t a fancy new invention, but a classic old-school tool like the venerable toaster oven. Toast? Sure. But it also bakes, broils, and can even make pizza for you. This Hamilton Beach model can give you six slices of toast or cook up a nice meal, and it’s 36% off right now, making it an easy win for your kitchen needs.

The best Prime Day deals on an air fryer

I love the Kismile air fryer (and it’s still 33% off!), but I can’t ignore the fact that the Instant Pot 4-quart Vortex Plus is 50% off, so you can pick one up for just $65. It's an air fryer that’s ideal for small kitchens and folks who want to make just enough food for one person.

The best Prime Day deals on a stand mixer

The KitchenAid Artisan Series 5 Quart Tilt Head Mixer is still 24% off—just $380 instead of $500—so it remains a good deal if you’re looking for a full-service stand mixer. If you want a smaller stand mixer that won’t eat up all of your counter or cabinet space, however, the Cooklee 9.5-quart mixer is a great choice, and it’s 32% off. If $380 is still a little rich for your blood, grab the Cooklee for just $136.

If you’re looking to build a cordless tool kit or add to one you already have, you’ve probably noticed how expensive tools can be. When you shop for new tools, the cost of batteries, bits, blades, and accessories can be high, not to mention hand tools. Looking out for deals on reliable brands that will hold up over time can save you money now as well as in the long-term when you consider the cost of replacing batteries and tools as they wear out. Here are some of the best Prime Day deals on tools.

Cordless drills and drivers

A cordless drill and driver set is the cornerstone of a home tool set. These tools allow you to do basic home DIY projects like putting up shelves or hanging a TV, and they will also be useful for more advanced projects like building furniture or repairing fencing. The Dewalt 20-volt Max Drill and driver set is $159, 39% off its regular price. This set comes with a drill, a driver, two 20-volt batteries, a charger, and a tool bag. This is the driver set that I use at work, and it stands up to a lot of abuse. The batteries can go for up to 10 years without needing to be replaced, even with daily use.

Best deal on a specialty set

This refurbished Makita 18-volt subcompact drill and driver set is now $164.99, 31% off its typical price. This set comes with a drill, impact driver, two 18-volt, 1.5-amp-hour batteries, a charger, and a tool bag. A sub-compact drill or driver weighs less than three pounds, making them idea for portability. These tools are also smaller than the average drill and driver so they’re good for fitting into tight spaces.

Best deal under $100

The 18-volt Ryobi cordless power drill is $45; the set comes with a drill, a 1.5-amp-hour battery, and a charger. This is a good set for a beginner; it will do everything you need for basic projects. The battery will hold a charge for about an hour and a half with moderate use.

Cordless power tools

Cordless power tools have gotten lighter and more advanced over the last couple of years, allowing you to use power saws for hours without swapping batteries, and to finish work without dragging an extension cord behind you. The Milwaukee 18-volt cordless random orbital sander is $99, 39% off its regular price. This is the sander I use in my personal tool kit, and it works just as well as the corded version without needing an outlet and an extension cord. It comes with a dust catcher attachment and a couple of sanding discs, but you’ll need an 18-volt Milwaukee battery to use it.

Best deal on a cordless saw

The DeWalt 18-volt jig saw is $168, 30% off its regular price. This saw is good for making custom shapes and for doing small, precise cuts. It comes with a starter multipurpose blade, but you’ll need a DeWalt 18-volt battery to use it.

Best deal on finishing tools

The DeWalt 18-volt cordless random orbital sander is on sale for $118.99, 52% off its regular price. This sander is a solid finishing tool for woodworking, and you can also use it for sanding down drywall repairs. It comes with a 2-amp-hour battery, a charger, and a tool bag, so it's a great tool for expanding your tool set or for getting started.

Best deal under $100

The Ryobi 18-volt three-inch cutoff tool is $99.99, 29% off its regular price. This is a saw designed for cutting metal, wood, or PVC, so it’s a versatile addition to your home DIY tool kit. It comes with a three-inch metal cut-off blade, but you’ll need an 18-volt Ryobi battery set to use it.

Hand tools

Hand tools can be an overlooked component of a home DIY tool kit, but they’re important for most home maintenance and DIY projects. Getting all the different tools and bits you need can be expensive, though. The Irwin 6 ½ inch coping saw is $8.99, 43% off its regular price. It can make precise cuts in wood for custom projects like installing trim or making dovetail joints.

I take my post-workout recovery seriously. I've tried all kinds of different massage guns and non-gun gadgets, and it's no exaggeration to say that these kinds of devices have changed my life. TheraBody is probably the most well-known household name in massage guns, and right now, the TheraBody TheraGun Prime—normally priced at $319.99—is available for $219.99 on Amazon during Prime Day.

The Theragun Prime really stands out because it's seriously quiet compared to most massage guns out there. A lot of cheaper models sound like you're using a power tool on your muscles, but Theragun's QuietForce Technology keeps things nice and low-key. You can actually use it while watching TV or without bothering everyone around you. Plus, the signature triangular handle design comes in handy, especially when you need to reach those awkward spots on your back and shoulders without contorting yourself or asking someone for help. The battery life is another huge plus—you get about two hours per charge, which means you're not constantly hunting for the charging cable.

What's really cool is that it connects to your phone via Bluetooth. The Therabody app walks you through different routines and shows you how to target specific sore spots, which is super helpful if you're not totally sure what you're doing. The Prime has four speed settings that go from 1,750 to 2,400 percussions per minute, so you can keep it gentle for a warmup or really dig in deep after a tough workout. It's versatile enough that beginners won't feel overwhelmed, but it still packs enough punch for serious athletes.

Looking for something else? Retailers like Walmart and Best Buy have Prime Day competition sales that are especially useful if you don’t have Amazon Prime.
