Amazon’s no stranger to a sale – the shopping emporium held its first ever Spring Sale in March, followed in July by its flagship shopping event: the Amazon Prime Day sale. If that wasn’t enough deals for one year, Amazon is holding another sale in 2023 – and it’s just days away.
It’s been announced that the upcoming sale, which is officially called the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, will be taking place on 10-11 October. While Amazon hasn’t yet confirmed details of the deals that will be included, we can expect to see some products drop to their lowest price since the beginning of the year, according to the retail giant.
Amazon’s sales events tend to have hefty discounts on home appliances, tech, beauty, Apple products, Amazon devices and more, which means you could find cleaning appliances such as cordless vacuum cleaners and steam mops, as well as kitchen appliances such as coffee machines and air fryers, for much less during the sale.

Ahead of the upcoming Amazon Prime Big Deal Days event, we’ve set out to answer some questions you may have, including which brands are likely to feature in the sale, and the deals available now.
When will Prime Day kitchen appliances and cleaning deals begin?
Amazon has announced the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days event will take place on 10-11 October this year, which is perhaps not too surprising, given the retailer’s 2022 Prime Early Access Sale was also held in October, on Tuesday 11 and Wednesday 12. Earlier this year, its flagship Prime Day sale also took place on Tuesday 11 and Wednesday 12 in July.
Do you need Amazon Prime to buy Prime Day kitchen appliances and cleaning deals?
Yes – like the Amazon Prime Day sale, you will need to have an Amazon Prime account to have access to deals in the Prime Big Deal Days event. A Prime membership will cost £8.99 a month and comes with free next-day delivery (which is great if you’re a frequent Amazon shopper) among other benefits such as early access to the retailer’s lightning deals, but if you try it out and decide it’s not for you, you can cancel the membership at any time.
What to expect from Prime Day kitchen appliances and cleaning deals in 2023
While there’s no intel to report when it comes to specific deals, we can get an idea of what to expect by looking at the Amazon Early Access sale that took place in October 2022. When it came to the kitchen and cleaning appliance heavyweights, you could find a deal on Shark, Eufy, Ninja, Tefal, Hoover, Instant Pot and more. We imagine the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days event could see discounts on the likes of cordless and robot vacuum cleaners, air fryers, coffee machines, food processors and multi-cookers, if last year’s deals are anything to go by.

Where kitchen appliances were concerned, you could have bought the Ninja three-in-one food processor (£199, Amazon.co.uk) with a saving of more than 40 per cent, which saw the price reduced from nearly £200 to just shy of £140. Russell Hobbs’s good-to-go multi cooker (£82.55, Amazon.co.uk) also saw a sizable discount, with the price tag reduced by 26 per cent, while the price of the Philips essential air fryer (£119.99, Amazon.co.uk) was sliced by a similar amount.

We also saw the cost of the Instant Pot pro crisp 11-in-1 multi-cooker (£249, Amazon.co.uk) and a deep-fat fryer from Swan (£44.99, Amazon.co.uk) plummet by more than 30 per cent. Plus, you had a chance to grab an electric kettle from Philips while it was discounted by more than 40 per cent – usually £54.99, it cost shoppers £31.99 in the sale (£37.99, Amazon.co.uk).

Shark anti-hair-wrap upright vacuum cleaner (NZ690UK): £299.99, now £249, Amazon.co.uk
(Amazon)
If you’re after an upright vacuum cleaner and have pets at home, this model from Shark should prevent long and short hair from getting caught up in the brush-roll, which can effect the hoover’s cleaning performance. There are LED headlights to highlight dust that might otherwise go unnoticed, and the wand can lift away when you need to reach difficult areas. There’s also a seal to prevent dust and allergens from escaping. Right now, it’s discounted by 17 per cent at Amazon.
(Nespresso)
Getting to work on your brew at a touch of a button, the vertuo next boasts the ability to make your brew in your preferred size, with the options including an espresso size, double espresso, gran lungo, large mug and carafe. The capsule coffee machine is compatible with all Nespresso vertuo capsules. While we haven’t tested the next iteration of the vertuo, the Nespresso vertuo plus coffee machine (a similar model) landed a spot in our round-up of the best coffee machines, where our tester dubbed it the best for long coffees.
Philips essential air fryer: Was £129.99, now £89.99, Amazon.co.uk

Grab this entry-level air fryer from Philips while there’s more than 30 per cent off at Amazon. Featuring a sizeable 4.1l capacity pan to cater for up to four people, there’s also a 0.8kg capacity basket.

Black & Decker heated airer: Was £155, now £109.99, Amazon.co.uk
(Black+Decker)
Earning a spot in our round-up of the best heated airers, Black & Decker’s useful appliance is now reduced by nearly 30 per cent at Amazon. “The rails are spaced out more than on other rail-based airer models, which makes arranging clothes over it fast and simple,” our tester said. Powered by a 300W motor, drying times are “respectable”. Our tester added that you don’t have to wait for the airer to heat up, as it can reach full power in less than a minute. “Should you need to move it, the lightweight aluminium frame weighs just 4.5kg, making it impressively portable, given its size.”
Tower family size air fryer T17021: Was £69.99, now £51.99, Amazon.co.uk
(Amazon)
Roomy enough to rustle up food for the entire family, thanks to its 4.3l capacity, thisTefal air fryer is reduced to just over £50 at Amazon. Designed to be a grill and an air fryer, it also boasts roast and bake functions for a variety of meals, from vegetables and chicken to fries and muffins. It features a turning dial for setting the temperature and a manual timer, too. Tower claims the appliance is 30 per cent faster, compared with the cooking times of a traditional oven.
