Amazon deal of the day: The Blink Mini 2 is on sale for just $20 ahead of October Prime Day
The countdown to October Prime Day is progressing. We're less than two weeks away from yet another epic deal shopping event. But if the anticipation is killing you, there are plenty of early deals you can shop already. We've been keeping an eye on Amazon this week and rounding up the best deals to add to your cart each day.
Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day on Sept. 27. If these deals don't speak to you, check out our picks from Sept. 25 and Sept. 26. Many of those deals remain live, including a Blink security system that gets you three outdoor cameras for the price of one and a $130 discount on Amazon Echo Frames. Also, be sure to follow along with all of our Prime Day content as the big event nears.
Our top pick
Just released earlier this year, the Blink Mini 2 offers better performance in low light settings, a wider field of view, a built-in LED spotlight for night view in color, and a better image quality overall. You can also grab the Blink weather resistant power adapter (sold separately) and use it outdoors as well as indoors. Ahead of Prime Big Deal Days, it's already back down to its all-time low price of $19.99. That's 50% in savings and just $2 more than the previous generation camera.
The Apple Watch Series 10 has only been out a week, yet it already has its first price drop, courtesy of early Prime Day deals at Amazon. The latest Apple Watch features a slightly larger watch face, a brighter display (from all angles), faster charging, and a new sleep apnea sensor. If you're already the owner of a Series 9, there's really not many reasons to upgrade, but if you're hanging on to an older model, the upgrades and the $30 discount might be incentive to grab this deal. Plus, you'll be one of the first people you know to own the new watch.
If you need that crunchy ice fix at home, the GE Profile Opal 2.0 is the countertop nugget ice maker for you. As our buds at PCMag (also owned by Mashable's publisher, Ziff Davis) wrote in their review, "If you like fast food-style crunchy nugget ice and you're willing to pay a premium to make it at home, you won't be disappointed." It can crank out 38 pounds of ice per day and store three pounds at a time in the bin. And with the built-in side tank on this model, you don't even need to be near a sink. The Opal 2.0 is normally quite expensive at $599, but ahead of Prime Day part two, you can slash $150 off and get it for $449. That's 25% in savings and only the second time we've seen the price drop this low.
