How did we choose these October Prime Day deals?
As a ZDNET editor, I only write about deals myself or a team member would want to buy – devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. I looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops.
I also examined customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals I recommend. These recommendations may also be based on my own testing (or testing by another ZDNET expert) – in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.
