Another Prime Day is coming up fast which means there’s some great deals to be had if you’re a subscriber. And while the main event doesn’t kick off officially until October 10, we’re already seeing some impressive early discounts — especially on appliances . 

As the Homes Editor for Tom’s Guide, I test all kinds of appliances for a living, so I’m always on the lookout for winning products in the sales — and this year’s deals don’t disappoint. Even though Prime Day is over a week away, some of the best robot vacuums as well as the best Keurig coffee makers have taken a heavy discount. Even some of the best air purifiers have made an appearance. So whether you need to replace an appliance, or you’ve always wanted to treat yourself to the latest tech, there’s likely a deal to suit.

To get you started on your search, I rounded up some of my favorite early appliance discounts here. This list features a combination of products we’ve tested as well as those we recommend based on the features, specifications and discount. So you know it’s a winning investment.
