11 early Prime Day deals that are just as cheap as Black Friday
Shop now and save big before the major sale begins
Prime Day is always one of the biggest shopping events of the year, but we're already seeing massive discounts even before the official sales event kicks off. Early Prime Day deals are slashing prices up to 50% on everything from smart home gadgets to TVs, vacuums, smartwatches, and more. Some of these discounts are matching Black Friday prices, and at least a few on this list are even cheaper than they were last November.
Some standout offers include the Bose QuietComfort earbuds for $149, the lowest price we've ever seen for some of the best noise-canceling earbuds on the market. If you're considering splurging on a robot vacuum, Shark has several models between 40-50% off ahead of Prime Day, including the Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop that we rated 4.5 stars in our review. Fitness enthusiasts can also score the Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2) at 50% off for $549, just $25 shy of its lowest-ever price.
To help you get the most bang for your buck, I've combed through all the early Prime Day deals to suss out which ones match or beat Black Friday prices. Keep scrolling to see my top picks.

Samsung's most affordable OLED TV of the previous year is getting a nice price drop. If you're shopping for a 55-inch OLED and don't have a large budget to play with, this TV merits your attention. In his Samsung S85F OLED TV review, my colleague Dylan Haas said "the visuals and performance are genuinely impressive, and the Game Mode is a fantastic feature for an avid gamer."
