Justin Kahn’s October 3, 2026, 9to5Toys roundup puts ten items in his cart: seven reported Prime Day offers and two discounted Nintendo Switch 2 game preorders that he explicitly says are not Prime Day deals. The list ranges from an AirTag and charger to an espresso machine and MacBook Pro. Prices and promotions below are the article’s reported figures, not independently verified current offers.
The source page is dated October 3, 2026, and its URL reflects that date; the search result had shown October 2. Deal prices, stock, coupons, Prime eligibility, and preorder terms can change, so check the linked offer before buying. This is a personal shopping roundup, not a product test.

Apple and charging
Apple AirTag 2
The roundup describes AirTag 2 as a 2026 release, gives a $29 list price, and calls the Amazon offer an all-time low. That makes it the list’s most clearly specified Apple accessory, but the source does not supply independent price-history evidence or additional product details.

Belkin UltraCharge 25W Foldable MagSafe Charger
Kahn reports $43 for the Belkin charger for Prime members and favors it over a bulkier, more expensive foldable Anker charger. The article does not provide a model-by-model comparison or performance testing, so treat the comparison as the author’s shopping preference rather than a measured result. Check that the offer is available to your account and that any membership requirement applies.
Echo devices and Fire TV
Echo Show
The roundup says the latest Echo Show models are up to $100 off and cites a $125 price, but does not identify the model associated with that price. Confirm the specific device and discount on the offer page before comparing it with another display.

Amazon Echo speakers
The reported starting prices are $40 for Echo speakers and $22 for children’s models, with savings of up to 50%. Because the roundup does not name the speaker models, those “from” prices and maximum savings should not be read as applying to every Echo device.
Fire TV Stick 4K, 2026 edition
The article reports that Amazon unveiled a new 2026 edition with an upgraded remote and a 50% price drop. It also tells readers to look for an on-page coupon. Verify that the coupon appears and is applied at checkout; the roundup does not state a final price.

Home and kitchen
Breville stainless steel espresso machines
The sale is reported as reaching $300 off across stainless steel machines. Kahn says he is considering a model with a built-in grinder, but the roundup does not name that model or say that it has the maximum discount. Check the exact machine and its price rather than treating the largest advertised reduction as universal.
ecobee Smart Thermostat
The author is weighing ecobee against Google and says ecobee looks more high-end and better suited to his decor. That is an appearance-based preference, not a feature-by-feature comparison. The roundup gives no model number, discount amount, or compatibility details, so confirm the exact thermostat and its suitability for your setup on the product listing.
Rank #4

The expensive cart option
M5 Pro MacBook Pro, 2TB
The roundup reports $500 off list price for a 2TB M5 Pro MacBook Pro. Kahn frames it as an indulgent possible purchase, not a tested recommendation. Confirm the configuration and current list and sale prices before treating the reported saving as applicable to a different MacBook Pro.
Two game preorders—not Prime Day deals
Switch Sports Resort and an Ocarina of Time remake
The roundup names these two Nintendo Switch 2 games as $10-off preorders ahead of release, while explicitly distinguishing them from Prime Day deals. It does not give release dates or further preorder terms. Check the retailer listing for the final price, edition, release information, and cancellation terms.
