FAQs
When is Amazon’s October Prime Day 2024?
Amazon’s October Prime Day is happening Oct. 8 and 9, but some deals will still be active before and after the official event. Many pricier kitchen appliances go on sale during events like these, making it a good time to try new tech you’ve been eyeing.
How did we choose these October Prime Day kitchen deals?
ZDNET covers deals our team wants to buy, meaning devices and products we need or would recommend. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off or are hardly ever on sale using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops.
We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we’re recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing — in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.
