The best October Prime Day kitchen deals: Our favorite Owala water bottle makes the cut
Cooking at home is supposed to save money, but it's not always the case. Just grocery prices alone are sky-high, not to mention the usual price tag for decent appliances.
So if you need a new air fryer, want to upgrade your morning coffee station, or just need to replace a worn-out pan without spending a fortune, now's your moment with Amazon's October Prime Day.
Prime Big Deal Days officially ends tonight, wrapping up at the end of Oct. 7, so if you need to make kitchen upgrades, don't miss your moment. Our favorite deals include $100 of Ninja air fryers and $300 off De'Longhi espresso machines. Prices can move fast during Prime Day, particularly as the hours count down, so we’ll keep checking and adding new deals as they go live.
Best kitchen deal Ninja Foodi Air Fryer (10-Quart) $149.99 at Amazon$229.99 Save $80 Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it
At $149.99 (down from $229.99), the Ninja Foodi 10-Quart DualZone is just 99 cents above its all-time low.
Instead of cooking in batches or relying on your oven, it gives you two separate 5-quart baskets that run at different temperatures at the same time. The Smart Finish setting automatically syncs the timers so both baskets finish cooking at the exact same time, while Match Cook lets you duplicate settings across both sides for full 10-quart meals. It also includes six standard functions — air fry, broil, roast, bake, dehydrate, and keep warm — and has enough total capacity to handle about eight pounds of wings.
Best drinkware deal Opens in a new window Credit: Owala Owala Free Sip 32 oz. Water Bottle $27.99 at Amazon$34.99 Save $7.00 Get Deal Why we like it
Our very favorite water bottle here at Mashable is the Owala FreeSip. Its innovative design lets you sip or chug from the included spout and straw. The stainless steel insulation keeps drinks ice cold for hours at a time, plus it has a loop that either locks the lid into place or functions as a carry loop.
During Prime Day, grab a 32 oz. Owala FreeSip for $27.99. That saves you $7 off its list price of $34.99.

25+ home improvement deals to shop this October Prime Day: Best deals on power tools, yard care, and more
We're into the final official day of the October Prime Day sale, and there are still an impressive range of deals on home improvement tools — discounts on everything you need for DIY and odd jobs around the home. But with the sale set to end at the close of today, Oct. 7, there's limited time to take advantage.
These home improvement deals include a $149 DeWalt drill-and-impact-driver kit, a $139.99 Greenworks leaf blower with a battery and charger, and discounts on outdoor lights, robot lawn mowers, and smart home devices.
SEE ALSO: The 125+ best October Prime Day deals: We found record prices on Apple, Bose, Lego, and Sony favoritesWhether you’re replacing a drill that barely holds a charge or getting ahead on fall yard cleanup, we’ve grouped the offers below by the jobs they can help you tackle. We’ll continue to update this list as prices and availability change during the final day of the sale.
Best tool deal Dewalt 20V Max Cordless Drill & Impact Driver Kit $138.99 at Amazon$239 Save $100.01 Get Deal at Amazon Get Deal at Walmart Why we like it
A good drill is one of those things you don't think about until you need it, and then suddenly it's the most useful thing in the house. This DeWalt combo kit gives you both a compact drill/driver for everyday jobs and an impact driver for the projects that need more muscle, like longer screws, tougher materials, or anything that has you fighting with a manual screwdriver.
It comes with two batteries, a charger, and a carrying bag, so you're not buying a tool only to realize you need to spend more before you can actually use it. Both tools also have built-in LED lights for darker corners, cabinets, and under-the-sink fixes.
At $149, down from $239, this kit saves you $90 and is a much better all-purpose pick for most homeowners than a single specialty tool.

Fall yard cleanup is enough work without dragging out an extension cord, mixing gas, or fighting with a pull start. The Greenworks 60V leaf blower is battery-powered, but it has enough power for clearing leaves and debris, and whatever else collects around the patio this time of year.
It has a variable-speed trigger, cruise control, and a Turbo mode that reaches up to 130 MPH when you need more power. The included 2.5Ah battery and rapid charger are a big part of why this deal is worth considering, especially if you're not already invested in a battery platform.
At $139.99, down from $249.99, it saves you $110. It's also compatible with more than 75 Greenworks 60V tools if you end up adding a mower, trimmer, or chainsaw later.

Grabbing an air purifier isn't a bad idea in 2026, considering the quality of the air outside lately. This smart purifier from Blueair is one of my favorite models, partially because it can double as a table. But it's also a great model if you like to control your home via an app. The Blueair app comes with great features like a sleeping mode, auto function, and a useful graph to view your home's overall air quality.

I turned Excel into a portal for everything on my PC and finally made sense of my files
You might not think of Excel as a tool for managing your PC. I didn't either. But after years of accumulating files, I used it to build an inventory of everything in my Windows user folder, and suddenly I could see my computer in a way I never had before. Once that information is in Excel, I can filter it, combine different criteria, build dashboards, and follow whatever rabbit hole I happen to find.

5 useful Google Maps accessibility features most people overlook (and they help everyone)
Google Maps is usually associated with directions, traffic updates, and finding nearby places. But it also has a solid set of accessibility tools that many people don’t know about. These cover different needs, including mobility, vision, and hearing, and many of them help everyone, not just the people they were built for. Stair-free walking routes can help if you’re carrying luggage or pushing a stroller, and spoken walking directions let you keep your eyes up while you move.
NYT Strands hints, answers for October 7, 2026
Today's NYT Strands hints will be easy if you're vibrant.
Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game, requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.
SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on MashableBy providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.

Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Booster Bundles are in stock at Amazon — shop for $94 on Prime Day
TL;DR: The Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Booster Bundle is in stock and available for around $94 at Amazon for October Prime Day.
Opens in a new window Credit: The Pokémon Company Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Booster Bundle $93.95 at AmazonGet Deal
Over October Prime Day, we're focused on showcasing record-low deals, huge discounts, and rare price drops. We're generally very picky when it comes to the deals we promote, but that goes out the window with Pokémon.
Is it in stock and somewhat close to market price? We're all over it.
As of Oct. 7, the Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Booster Bundle is down to around $94 at Amazon via marketplace sellers. You might find better prices after Prime Day, but Amazon actually has stock and is selling for a price that isn't totally horrible. With the way the market is right now, that's a win.
At this price, you are looking at around $16 per pack for six sealed 30th Celebration booster packs. That’s a far more palatable rate to chase the set’s heavy hitters like Mewtwo ex, Mew ex, Umbreon ex, Salamence ex, and Greninja ex. Plus, every single pack guarantees one of 30 distinct rare Pikachu variant cards, making this one of the most collectible anniversary drops in recent memory.
Stock tends to disappear quickly, so we recommend jumping on this offer to avoid disappointment. Paying $94 is still a markup over retail, but landing a sealed bundle for under $100 on Amazon is currently your safest bet to dodge reseller gouging.
Score the Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration Booster Bundle for $94 on October Prime Day.

The Ecovacs Goat A2000 LiDAR PRO robot lawn mower is down to an all-time low for Prime Day — save over $600
SAVE $670.94: As of Oct. 7, the Ecovacs Goat A2000 LiDAR PRO Robot Lawn Mower is down to its lowest price ever. Snag one from Amazon for $1,329.05, down from $1,999.99 — a 34% discount for Prime Big Deal Days.

If your idea of a great weekend involves anything other than pushing a loud, gas-chugging motor around your yard for two hours, a robot mower is the ultimate outdoor upgrade. For Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, the Ecovacs Goat A2000 LiDAR PRO just dropped to an all-time low of $1,329.05, saving you over $670 on a completely wire-free setup.
The mower relies on high-end robot vacuum tech, ditching boundary wires and finicky satellite antennas entirely. Its dual 360-degree LiDAR navigation maps your yard automatically and holds lock-tight, two-centimeter precision. That means no freezing up or dropping connection under dense trees, near privacy fences, or in shaded spots where GPS mowers typically lose their minds.
SEE ALSO: Amazon has dropped mega deals on robot lawn mowers for Prime Day: Shop Dreame, Mammotion, and moreTo fix your edge lines, Ecovacs built a secondary line trimmer right into the chassis. It cuts flush against driveways, sidewalks, and flower beds, so far less time spent hauling out a manual string trimmer. Underneath, a heavy-duty 32V motor and dual-blade disc deliver enough torque to slice through thick Bermuda, Fescue, or St. Augustine grass without bogging down.
It handles yards up to half an acre and recharges in about 50 minutes. Through the Ecovacs app, you can set custom mowing zones, mark off no-go areas like garden beds, adjust cutting height, and schedule automatic trims while you're at work.
Lock in your Ecovacs A2000 PRO at this record-low price before Prime Big Deal Days ends.

Thankfully, earlier this year, Ryobi finally answered users' calls, and the new dual-platform hyper charger is finally available.
The 40+ best Prime Day deals on trading cards: Pokémon TCG, Magic: The Gathering, and One Piece
Amazon’s October Prime Day has reached its second and final day, and there are still loads of trading card deals across Pokémon TCG, Magic: The Gathering, One Piece Card Game, Disney Lorcana, and KPop Demon Hunters for you and other collectors to get in on. Luckily, some of the best deals from yesterday have still kept their new lowest prices, including The Hobbit Play Booster Box, hitting a new Amazon low of $161.99, while Pokémon’s 30th Celebration expansion has some new lower prices worth checking out, as well.
Ending at midnight tonight, you only have a matter of hours before a load of these bargains expires, if they don't sell out first. In the meantime, we'll be checking Amazon's trading card market throughout the day and adding any even stronger deals that might go live — while you still have our dedicated Pokemon Prime Day guide (more cards, games, Lego, and books), along with our massive Prime Day round-up covering the very best deals of the entire sale.

Following the incredibly successful Lord of the Rings expansion, The Hobbit has been in massive demand as well, and you can now own this 30-pack box at its lowest Amazon price ever: $161.99, with 23% cut off its base $209.97 list price.

Along with those 30 packs, the box comes with a traditional foil Middle-earth Box Topper. As for the packs themselves, each will have up to three cards of rare or higher rarity, three to five uncommons, seven to nine commons, one land, and one traditional foil card of any rarity, too.

The October Prime Day drone deals are flying: Get $90 off the DJI Flip before the sale ends
SAVE $90: As of Oct. 7, the DJI Flip 4K camera drone is available for $349 on Amazon. That's $90 in savings off the regular list price of $439 — it's lowest price at Amazon.
Opens in a new window Credit: DJI DJI Flip $349 at Amazon$439 Save $90 Get Deal
October Prime Day is now into its final day, with the sale officially closing at the end of Oct. 7, but the deals are still flying at us. Which is exactly what you want if you're shopping for a great deal on a DJI drone.
There's a good reason to get a DJI drone now. Recently passed legislation has effectively banned the U.S. import of Chinese-made DJI drones. It's still legal to own and sell the drones that are already here, but once these stocks are gone, that's it. What that means is that DJI drones will become increasingly sought after and almost certainly more expensive as availability plummets. So deals like we're seeing on the DJI Flip, currently marked down for October Prime Day, are even better value.
As of Oct. 7, the DJI Flip 4K camera drone is marked down to $349, matching its lowest-ever price on Amazon. That's a $90 markdown from the list price of $439.
The DJI Flip will suit flyers of all abilities. Built with a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor for capturing sharp 4K footage at 60 fps, it also offers features like subject tracking and Creative Shots modes (including filming you with circle, boomerang, and helix maneuvers). It's also lightweight and takes off directly from your palm, with a flight time of up to 31 minutes. And as the name suggests, it's nimble in the air and super-fun to fly.
Don't miss the DJI Flip 4K camera drone at its lowest price of $349. Today's the last chance to save $90 in this drone.

Not only does this save you a whopping $1,100 on the bundle, but it also marks a brand-new low on Amazon. If you're a Prime member, this is an excellent time to grab it. However, keep in mind that the sale ends after today, so the clock is ticking to save.

Tropical Storm Isaias: Spaghetti models track the storm’s path online
Tropical Storm Isaias formed in the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday morning and is expected to reach hurricane strength early Thursday as it pushes toward a Gulf Coast landfall. The National Weather Service has launched its suite of online storm tracking forecasts and graphics on the National Hurricane Center website.
The National Hurricane Center's prediction cone reveals a northeastward trajectory that turns northward Thursday night, with a projected landfall late Friday or early Saturday morning somewhere between eastern Louisiana and the Florida Panhandle.
Most of the spaghetti models predict a strength somewhere between Category 1 and Category 2, though a handful predict strengths between Category 3 and 4, according to storm tracking site Cyclocane. It's very early to determine the landfall location of a likely hurricane, but many (though not all) of the spaghetti models place landfall between Biloxi, Mississippi and Pensacola, Florida.
As of 5 a.m. ET Wednesday, Tropical Storm Isaias has 40 mph maximum sustained winds and is traveling East-Northeast at 8 mph. It's located about 580 miles away from the mouth of the Mississippi River, according to the NHC forecast.
A spaghetti model is a collection of storm-tracking forecasts that plot their predictions of a storm's path, all of which are overlaid on a map to provide an estimated visual track of the storm.
As of Wednesday morning, there are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.
The latest forecasts, updated multiple times daily, can be tracked online on the National Hurricane Center website.
