We’re over a week past Amazon’s Prime Day and still over a month away from Black Friday, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any good deals to shop. We did a little digging and rounded up a few deals from top brands like LG and Samsung to kick off your weekend.

Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day on Oct. 18. If none of these catch your attention, take a look back at our picks from Oct. 16 and Oct. 17. Many of those are still live, like a record-low on the Sony ULT Wear headphones and a $300 price drop on the M3 Pro MacBook Pro.

Our top pick

When Mashable’s resident vacuum connoisseur Leah Stodart tested LG’s CordZero All-in-One she was blown away, claiming the $1,000 price tag is surprisingly justified. A newer version has now taken its place with even better battery life (200 hours versus 120) and the same impressive suction, smooth maneuverability, streamlined multi-step cleaning, and game-changing auto-empty station. And though the initial sticker shock can be hard to get past, the sale price is much more palatable. Snag it on sale for only $600 instead of $1,000 as of Oct. 18. That’s 40% in savings and about $150 cheaper than it currently is on LG’s own website.

A $2,000 phone seems extreme — even if it is the impressive Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. So when we see a discount, we have to highlight it. As of Oct. 18, a 512GB, unlocked Z Fold 6 is down to $1,579 at Amazon — that’s not only a 22% discount, but also knocks it down to $20 cheaper than the 256GB version. Keeping the same winning formula from the Z Fold 5 when it comes to fundamentals — cameras, battery capacity, and memory — the Z Fold 6 adds just a few tweaks and extras to make it even better. That includes a thinner, wider, and brighter display with enhanced resolution, a boost in Snapdragon power, and a boat load of AI-powered tools from the Galaxy AI suite.

Released this past spring, Google’s Fitbit Ace LTE was made just for kids. On the little one’s side of things, they can play games throughout the day that help them get active and encourage movement and play, swapping screen time for physical activity. On the parent’s side, they can keep tabs on their kids by calling, texting, and voice messaging, seeing real-time locations, controlling the contact list, and restricting game access during specific times (school, homework, etc.). It’s regularly $229.95, but Amazon has it on sale for only $179.95 as of Oct. 18. That’s 22% in savings and about $10 shy from its lowest price ever.

When our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) tested the 49-inch Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 gaming monitor, it left quite an impression. It earned a coveted Editors’ Choice award and a spot on PCMag’s Best of the Year list for 2023. “It’s pricey, but the slim, feature-rich Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 is a feast for the eyes and the ultrawide monitor to beat for immersive PC gaming,” reviewer Zackery Cuevas wrote. Usually $1,599.99, the Odyssey OLED G93SC is down to just $949.99 at Amazon. Still a splurge, the feature-rich monitor is a little more wallet-friendly at 41% off. This version is just a step down from the model tested by PCMag (no gaming hub or smart TV capabilities), but it’s also about $450 more affordable.
