If you're looking to buy a cheap gadget ahead of this year's October Prime Day deals event, I've got you covered. Amazon's early Prime Day sale is filled with hundreds of really good deals, and I've hand-picked the 15 best offers that all cost under $50 that I'd buy with my own money.
• Shop more early Prime Day deals
As a deals editor for TechRadar, I shop Amazon sales for a living, which can sometimes be a problem. I love finding cheap but handy must-buy gadgets because the price is so good. This year's early deals don't disappoint, with record-low prices on earbuds, smart home devices, tablets, kitchen appliances, security cameras, and so much more.
A few of my favorites include the all-new Blink Mini 2 security camera on sale for just $19.99 (originally $39.99), the viral Fullstar vegetable chopper on sale for $24.99 (was $49.99), and this top-rated Cosori smart air fryer for just $39.99 (originally $59.99).
Remember that all the early Prime Day deals listed below were selected based on price and value. I don't expect prices to drop further at Amazon's official Prime Day sale, so you should secure these cheap gadgets today.
