Walmart's October sale challenges Amazon with huge early deals – 15 items I'd buy right now
Our crack team of eCommerce Editors spent hours shopping the Walmart sales to bring you the hottest homeware and tested appliances for less
Walmart's October sales are about to begin. From 12:00 EST, you can expect to see deep discounts across large appliances, as well as smaller impulse buys. I'm talking 60% off floorcare and 30% off kitchenware, plus 50% off candles (just in time for fall and winter).
Thanks to Walmart+, I got early access to the October sales. So far, I like what I see. I've spotted hundred-dollar discounts on Dyson vacuums and 50% off items in the Beautiful by Drew Barrymore kitchen collection. Still, with so many Walmart deals to sift through, it's easy to feel spoiled for choice.
That's where we come in. Our shopping editors double as sales hunters. We love a good bargain, but we'd never sacrifice quality for cost. Each of our eCommerce Editors has their own specialism. Charlotte handles our home decor and furniture content, while Lydia looks after kitchen appliances, reviewing everything from the best air fryers to the best coffee makers. Dan knows where to buy the best vacuums from Dyson, Shark, and BISSELL. As for me, I'm your resident sleep writer, and I've found the best bedding at Walmart.

This dual-basket air fryer boasts an eight-quart capacity, so you can cook larger batches to feed all the family. Roast, bake or broil your ingredients in each basket and utilize the SyncCook function to make plating that much easier.
You can find more detail in our Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer review.
For a quick and convenient brew, there's nothing like a Keurig, and this is the best Keurig coffee maker you can buy. The K-Elite comes with a 75-oz. water reservoir on the back, so you won't have to constantly refill your Keurig. If only it came with a milk frother, I'd put it up there with the best coffee makers.

For some of us, sleeping hot is a year-round struggle. If you suffer from night sweats or hot flashes, then you need the best cooling comforter to dissipate heat, wick moisture, and block odors. This down alternative duvet insert should do the trick.
Percale is a loose, breathable weave that's suitable for all seasons. The one-thread-over, one-thread-under structure creates a cool, crisp texture, the sort of thing you'd feel in high-end hotels or luxury spas.

The Dyson V15 Detect is one of the best cordless vacuums we've ever reviewed, rivaled only by the Dyson Gen5detect. It can pick up virtually any dust or debris and has detection tech to reveal hidden dust and adjust power depending on your floors. It's also the best vacuum for pet hair on test.
The V12 Detect Slim has all the tech and features of the V15 Detect, but in a smaller and lighter design. It's still exceptional at picking up all messes, but dustbin capacity and battery life have slightly been sacrificed to bring the price and weight down.
If you're looking to grab a real upgrade in this sale, the Shark IQ can vacuum and mop your floors for you, drastically reducing how much time you spend cleaning. It builds a detailed map of your home while detecting and avoiding obstacles. And now, you can get it with a discount of $200.99.
The Shark Matrix Self-Empty is also on offer for $269, reduced from $499.99.
