While Amazon's October Prime Day sale is one week away (October 8 and 9), the retailer has done something unprecedented by releasing early deals that are actually worth buying right now. You can find record-low prices on Amazon's best-selling items, including kitchen appliances, TVs, vacuums, tablets, smart home devices, and more.

Shop Amazon's full early Prime Day sale

As TechRadar's deals editor, I've gone through today's early Prime Day deals and hand-picked the 15 best offers. I selected the items based on the price and popularity of products that TechRadar has reviewed and some that I personally own and love.

A few of my favorites include the Echo Pop smart speaker on sale for only $17.99 (originally $39.99), the best-selling Crest 3D Whitestrips on sale for just $29.99 (originally $45.99), and LG's gorgeous 48-inch C4 OLED TV on sale for $979.99 (originally $1,999.99) - the lowest price we've ever seen.

Remember that all the early Prime Day deals listed below include impressive discounts, and I can't imagine prices dropping much further at Amazon's official two-day sale. Another perk about Amazon's early sale is that, unlike Prime Day, most deals listed below don't require a Prime membership.
