    Best Amazon Prime Day EcoFlow deals in October 2025: I found discounts up to 50% off

    When is October Prime Day 2025?  Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sale, otherwise known as October Prime Day, runs Oct. 7 and 8, back to the usual two-day sale extravaganza, and not the four days that we saw back in July. Are power stations really cheaper on Prime Day?  I watch prices closely, and yes, I can say with absolute certainty that you can find lots of great deals during the Amazon Prime Day sales. In fact, I’ve found some absolute killer deals to share with you. It’s also a good time to get a good deal on combos that come with the power station and an expansion battery and/or solar panels. How did we choose these October Prime Day deals? Here at ZDNET, I only write about deals that interest me — the devices and gear I desire, need, or would recommend. I look for the best possible deal and seek out those things that are only occasionally on sale. I use established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops.  I also pay attention to customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals I’m recommending. I’m one person testing one thing, so it’s useful to get a broader sampling. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.  More
