Amazon deal of the day: Slash 34% off a Kindle Paperwhite essentials bundle
Only four days separate us from Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days shopping event (aka October Prime Day). For all you impatient shoppers, however, there are plenty of deals already live. You can start shopping today and still take home a great deal. In fact, we've been rounding up the best deals to shop every day this week.
Here are our top three picks for the best Amazon deals of the day on Oct. 4. Be sure to check back at our picks from Oct. 2 and Oct. 3 as well. Most of those are still live and ready to add to your cart, including a whopping 71% off the Echo Buds with noise cancellation and up to $100 off the Oura Ring 3.
Our top pick
The Kindle Paperwhite, our top pick for reading outside, is finally back on sale as part of an essentials bundle. It comes with a fabric case and a power adapter all for just $134.97, down from $204.97. That's 34% in savings and less than buying the Kindle device on its own. The Paperwhite features a 6.8-inch glare-free display with adjustable warm light and IPX8 waterproofing. As Mashable's Alex Perry summed up in his review, "In general, this is an elegant e-reader that is enjoyable to use."
Our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) tested the Marshall Emberton II and found it to be "a stylish waterproof Bluetooth speaker that sounds solid." It has a longer battery life than its predecessor and is more durable, but otherwise isn't a major upgrade. It has a tough time at extreme volumes, but mostly delivers a rich audio experience. The PCMag reviewer noted that regular retail price is a bit steep, so this 41% discount definitely makes it a better value. Slash $70 off and pick it up for just under $100 (its lowest price to date) ahead of Prime Day 2.
Upright and robot vacuums might take care of your floors, but what about all the cracks and crevices in your car, furniture, and everywhere in between? The Shark Wandvac can help you reach all the places your regular vacuum can't. It weighs just over a pound, is super easy to maneuver, and is compact enough to slip in just about anywhere. The high-speed brushless motor and streamlined airflow offer powerful suction for such a small gadget, making it a breeze to suck up all the crumbs and dog hair plaguing your fabrics. It's regularly $129.99, but you can score it for only $79.99 in the rose gold shade ahead of Prime Big Deal Days. That's 38% in savings and the lowest price on record.
