Get ready for Prime Day 2024, because we can now share the official dates for Amazon's biggest sales event of the year!
This year, Prime Day has been extended into an epic six-day sales extravaganza, starting on Tuesday, July 16, and ending as Sunday, July 21 comes to a close. That's way more time to nab an amazing bargain than last year's two-and-a-half days of deals.
So while there's only one week to go until the Prime Day sales kick off, believe us when we say there's no harm in being prepared for what will surely be an epic sale. To help you get excited for the sales event of the year, we've gathered some of the top early deals available to shop right now.
Of course, it's safe to assume that the upcoming Prime Day 2024 event will offer massive deals on a wider range of items — Amazon products like Kindle e-readers, Fire TV Stick devices and Echo Dot smart speakers are a given, but you should also expect huge reductions on smartphones, tablets, laptops, headphones, game consoles, games, monitors, vacuums, coffee machines and more.
With that in mind, we recommend bookmarking this page and checking back regularly for more details about the upcoming sales and early deals. OK, enough waffling on — here are some of the best early Prime Day 2024 deals.

Headphones and wearables
Apple AirPods (2nd Gen) | AU$219 AU$177 (save AU$42)
This is the one of the lowest prices that we've seen the second-gen AirPods drop to, at AU$177. When it comes to Apple products, you can't scoff at a 19% discount. So if you've been holding off giving AirPods a go, this may be your time to invest. But as this is an early deal, we may see these AirPods drop even further, so you may want to keep your eye out for an even better deal.

Home appliances
Dyson V8 Extra (Silver/Purple) | AU$799 AU$479 (save AU$320)
If you're on the hunt for a Dyson cordless vac that won't break the bank, this V8 model is hard to dismiss. With up to 40 minutes of fade-free power, the machine offers powerful suction for versatile cleaning across hard floors, carpets and more. Plus, it can easily transform into a handheld, making it small enough for those hard-to-reach areas at home and in the car.
Dyson Gen5detect Absolute | AU$1,549 AU$975 (save AU$574)
Slashing a massive 37% off RRP, this stick vac can reveal 2x more hidden dust on surfaces thanks to a precisely angled light built into the Digital Motorbar cleaner head.

Designed to tame your tresses with less heat damage, the Dyson Supersonic is a true feat of engineering. While this isn't the lowest price we've seen of AU$444 for the hair tool if you're looking to save on this investment, this 8% discount isn't something to scoff at.
That said, you can probably grab the styler for less at other retailers, like AU$549 on Dyson in the Ceramic Pop colourway — but we expect this price to come down a touch when Prime Day rolls around next week.
Dyson Airwrap (Nickel/Copper)| AU$849 AU$752.30 (save AU$96.70)
The Dyson Airwrap is pretty well known in the hair and beauty space, as it does literally everything you'd expect from a multi-styler. It curls, it smoothes, it shapes and it dries — all without the risk of major heat damage to your hair. Using air and aerodynamics, this styler comes with five attachments and a solid case to store it in.
The only caveat is you could probably find it cheaper elsewhere, but we recommend keeping your eye on the price during Prime Day sales, as it could come down even further.
Apple AirTag (4-pack) | AU$165 AU$147 (save AU$18)
Keep tabs on your belongings (or your pets) at all times with a sleek and innovative Apple AirTag. While the 11% discount may seem minuscule to most, when it comes to Apple products, a discount over 10% is not something to sneer at.

Roborock Q7 Max+ | AU$1,399 AU$799 (save AU$600)

Frequently asked questions

In Australia, Prime Day 2024 will last for six days, starting on Tuesday, July 16 and ending on Sunday, July 21, making it the longest Prime Day sales period to date.
What is Prime Big Deal Days and when is it?
Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days is the second Prime-exclusive sales event of the year, previously known as the Big Smile Sale. Prime Big Deal Days typically takes place over a 48-hour period in the middle of October.
Can I get a free Amazon Prime membership?
As the name implies, Prime Day deals are exclusive for Amazon Prime members only. That said, those who aren't already members can still take part in Prime Day sales by signing up to Amazon AU's free 30-day trial. Once you've made your purchases, you can simply cancel Amazon Prime or let it continue for AU$9.99 a month or AU$79 a year.
Tips for finding the best Prime Day deals
Price check everything:
With that in mind, we're of the opinion that you should always shop smart — some sellers on Amazon may try to exaggerate their deals, which is why you should get into the habit of using a site called CamelCamelCamel to check your desired item's price history. Here's a detailed guide on using CamelCamelCamel to save money on Amazon.
Additionally, you can also install a Chrome extension called Camelizer which you can click on to bring up the price history of almost any Amazon product you happen to be viewing.
Watch out for shady reviews:
While Amazon has gotten good at picking out and removing bogus reviews from product listings, the vast number of items sold on the site makes it difficult to ensure that every review is legitimate.
Because of this, we recommend using Fakespot to analyse the quality and legitimacy of reviews on any Amazon product page, offering a letter-based grade to give you an idea of whether said products reviews are mostly real or mostly fake.
Additionally, the website ReviewMeta can be used to scope out suspicious terminology or repeated phrases that many fake reviews tend to use, offering either a passing of failing grade for you to consider.
Alexa and Prime Day deal alerts
Alexa shopping has been around for quite some time. During Prime Day, Alexa can even tell you of the day's best deals. However, a new feature lets Amazon's digital assistant notify Prime members of upcoming deals on products they wish to track. You'll need to have a newer generation Echo smart speaker or smart display to use this perk. Nevertheless, it could be a cool perk for existing Prime members during Prime Day. Here's how to have Alexa notify you of upcoming deals.
