Amazon is holding its second Prime Day of the year on 11-12 October, offering shoppers the chance to buy energy-efficient devices and appliances at discounted prices. With energy bills rising, the sale includes deals on air fryers, slow cookers, portable heaters and electric heated blankets, among other items.
Among the featured products is an all-in-one cooker that can pressure cook, sauté, brown meat, cook rice, steam and even make yoghurt. The appliance is described as highly energy-efficient and economical to run, emitting little noise, heat or steam during use.
Also highlighted is a double-sided electric heated throw, designed for use on a sofa or in bed. It features a 9-hour timer and nine heat settings, with running costs as low as 3p per hour based on the latest UK energy tariff, making it a cost-effective alternative to central heating.
For those who want to avoid heating the whole house, a compact fan heater is recommended. It offers a 60-degree oscillation mode, two temperature settings, an adjustable thermostat and a safety tip-over switch, and is said to warm a room within minutes.
Shoppers are advised to compare prices before buying, as retailers such as Currys, Argos and John Lewis often match Amazon's deals. Using Google Shopping or Price Spy can help find the same item cheaper elsewhere. Lightning Deals may last only 30 minutes or less, so quick decisions are advised.
Access to the Prime Day sale requires an Amazon Prime membership, which normally costs £8.99 per month. New customers can sign up for a free 30-day trial and cancel before it ends to avoid charges.
