How did we choose October’s Prime Day sales?
As a ZDNET editor, I only write about deals that I or my team members would want to buy – devices and products that we want, need, or recommend. I use established price comparison tools and trackers to look for deals that are at least 20% off (or barely on sale), whether the deal is actually on sale, and We’ve determined how often sales are happening.
I also looked at customer reviews to find out what’s important to real people who already own and use the deals I recommend. These recommendations may be based on my own testing (or testing by another ZDNET expert), as well as extensive research and comparison shopping. Our goal is to provide you with the most accurate advice to shop smarter.
