Labor Day is the last hurrah of summer, squeezing in a final beach day or backyard barbecue before transitioning to fall. But taking advantage of every ounce of what the season has to offer also means jumping on Labor Day sales. This summer kicked off with Memorial Day savings, then 4th of July, and, of course, Prime Day. You'd think by now we've drained all the good deals dry, but Amazon's Labor Day sale is proving quite the opposite. We've spotted iPads and AirPods Max at all-time low prices, not to mention the Amazon Kindle at a lower price than during Prime Day. These are the best early Labor Day deals on Amazon as of August 29: Best Apple deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Our pick: Apple iPad, 9th Generation (A13 Bionic Chip, 64GB, WiFi) $199.00 at Amazon $329.00 Save $130.00 Why we like itThere are many iPads in Apple's line-up, but the mainstay size is our best budget pick. While the 10th generation is the most recent iteration, the 9th generation is still around and has everything you need for gaming, streaming, or reading. With a 10.2-inch screen, the A13 Bionic Chip, and 64GB of storage, it's stacked with power and even compatible with the Apple Pencil. Now, it's down to its lowest price ever — under $200. During Amazon's Labor Day Sale, find the iPad, 9th generation for $199, saving you $130, or 40% off. More Apple deals
Best Kindle Deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Our pick: Amazon Kindle $84.99 at Amazon $99.99 Save $15.00 Why we like itThe Amazon Kindle lets you bring your entire library with you. Over the years, Amazon has added the Paperwhite, Paperwhite Signature Edition, and Scribe to its collection of e-readers, but the flagship Kindle remains the best budget option. It has a glare-free screen, perfect for reading in all types of environments, and 16GB of storage for all the books you'll need on vacation. Currently, you can find the Amazon Kindle for just $10 shy of its lowest price ever. At $84.99, this is stillbetter than its Prime Day price. Now, you can get it for $15 off for 15% savings. That's a solid amount of savings to help you prep for a cozy fall of reading. More Kindle deals
Best headphones deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Our pick: Apple AirPods Max $399.00 at Amazon $549.00 Save $150.00 Why we like itAirPods are undeniably popular. They connect to iOS devices with ease and look good while doing it. AirPods Max are Apple's answer to over-the-ear headphones, with a cool, sleek design. While we generally liked them during testing, there's a clear consensus that they're just too dang expensive at $549. Sure, they have good audio quality, but there are plenty of other headphones that are just as good for far less. Luckily, Amazon's Labor Day sale brought the AirPods Max down to $399, just $5 shy of their lowest price ever. That's a fantastic $150 off the headphones for 27% in savings. More headphone deals

Best Amazon Echo deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Our pick: Amazon Echo Dot (5th generation, 2022) $29.99 at Amazon $49.99 Save $20.00 Why we like itAmazon Echo devices offer the convenience of a smart speaker loaded with voice commands. The Echo Dot is a smaller alternative to the flagship Amazon Echo, however, it still packs a lot of punch. It has crisp sound and a built-in mic, that can alert you to a dog barking or a door opening for added home security. During the Labor Day sale, you can shop the Amazon Echo for $29.99, saving you $20, or 40%. This is a great deal for smart home enthusiasts looking to add a new device. Related Stories

Best streaming and TV deal Opens in a new window Credit: Roku Our pick: Roku Streaming Stick 4K $34.00 at Amazon $49.99 Save $15.99 Why we like itThere are a lot of streaming devices out there, and we've tested a lot of them. Roku makes a lot of good options, including our best overall and best budget streamer. These sticks do bear a striking resemblance to Amazon's Fire TV Sticks, however, having tested them head-to-head myself, I can confidently say the Roku Streaming Stick 4K is better than any Amazon Fire TV option. While you may be able to get an Amazon Fire TV stick for cheaper during the Labor Day Sale, spending a few extra dollars will save you a lot of strife. The Roku Streaming Stick 4K is a quick, efficient streaming device that is a breeze to set up and that allows you to watch your shows without buffering. Right now, you can find it for $34, saving you a sweet $15.99 for 32% off. More streaming deals

Best Tablet deal Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE Tablet (WiFi, 128GB) $349.99 at Amazon $449.99 Save $100.00 Why we like itThis may come as a surprise... but there are more tablets out there than just iPads. Having tested quite a few here at Mashable, we like Samsung's tablets. Mashable's RJ Andersen tested the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ and liked it as an iPad alternative for its quick operating system and ability to view multiple apps at a time. Luckily, during Amazon's Labor Day Sale, it's cheaper sibling, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE is on sale for $349.99. Normally priced at $449.99, this saves $100 for 22% savings. You get the same perks of the FE+ in a slight smaller package, however, it's nonetheless lightweight and water-resistant. More Tablet deals
Best Robot Vacuum deal Opens in a new window Credit: Roborock Roborock S8 Pro Ultra Robot Vacuum and Mop $899.99 at Amazon $1,599.99 Save $700.00 Why we like itHaving tested the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra robot vacuum, we're intimately familiar with all of the high-tech features it offers. It self-empties and can run room-by-room, even creating no-go zones. While we found that it was rather imprecise in use, it's still a solid hands-free option for both vacuuming and mopping. Our biggest beef with the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is for how expensive it is, it doesn't live up to our cleaning standards. However, during Amazon's Labor Day sale, the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra robot vacuum and mop is nearly half its price. Currently, the price is down to $1,099.99 but an on-page coupon provides another $200, making it $899.99. That saves $700 for 44% off. More robot vacuum deals
