Amazon’s October Prime Day (aka Prime Big Deal Days) officially ended Oct. 9, but that doesn’t mean every deal is done. Some companies have extended the discounts on their gear a little longer, and many no longer require you to have an active Amazon Prime subscription to take advantage of them. Some are still Prime subscriber exclusive, though, and if that’s the case, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial here if you don’t have one. However, you should add to cart now; there’s no telling how long any of these discounts will last since they’re no longer tied to an official sale.

Google Nest Thermostat $84.99 (Was $129.99)

Google’s Nest Thermostat is a particularly good Prime Day deal because it can actually help pay for itself over time. The Wi-Fi-enabled thermostat can learn your habits and schedule over time and activate your HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system more efficiently and less frequently. Running these power-hungry appliances can help lower your utility bill over time. The best feature of Nest Thermostat is its easy-to-understand user interface. Touch-sensitive strips on the sides allow you to raise and lower your home’s temperature with a swipe, while its clear face displays your current and set temperatures. You can also control the smart thermostat using an app on your iOS or Android device, or using the Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa smart home assistants.

Anycubic Kobra 2 Neo 3D Printer $159 (Was $239)

This is a great place for beginners to start. It prints relatively quickly at up to 250mm/s and boasts a build volume up to 8.7 x 8.7 x 9.8 inches. It’s simple to assemble and easy to calibrate, which means less time between taking it out of the box and making your first print. Even if you’re not a beginner, this is a great cheap printer to keep around for when your main rig is busy for days at a time.

FLEXISPOT EN2 Electric Standing Desk 40 x 24” Small Desk $199 after $50 clickable coupon (Was $249)

A FlexiSpot standing desk on-sale for Amazon Prime Day

FlexiSpot

This isn’t just an add-on for your normal desk. The entire 40″ x 24″ surface of this desk moves with help from a motor. A six-button digital controller allows you to manually adjust the height or choose one of four programmable memory settings. It can move between 28.1″ on the short side all the way up to 45.7″ on its tallest setting. It moves quickly, holds tons of weight, is easy to clean, and generally helps me stand up while writing Prime Day deal posts. A built-in bank of three AC outlets and a pair of USB-A (USB-C would be nice, but alas), allow you to keep cable management nice and tidy. My cable management is currently a mess, which is why you get a stock photo instead of a picture of my actual desk.

Even more of the best Prime Day deals you can still get

Price are correct at time of posting but subject to change, and deals will sell out, so act fast.

Why Trust Popular Science

Popular Science started writing about technology more than 150 years ago. There was no such thing as “gadget writing” when we published our first issue in 1872, but if there was, our mission to demystify the world of innovation for everyday readers means we would have been all over it. Here in the present, PopSci is fully committed to helping readers navigate the increasingly intimidating array of devices on the market right now.

Our writers and editors have combined decades of experience covering and reviewing consumer electronics. We each have our own obsessive specialties—from high-end audio to video games to cameras and beyond—but when we’re reviewing devices outside of our immediate wheelhouses, we do our best to seek out trustworthy voices and opinions to help guide people to the very best recommendations. We know we don’t know everything, but we’re excited to live through the analysis paralysis that internet shopping can spur so readers don’t have to.
