On any given day, the e-tail giant adds and removes deals from this secret hub on a handful of Echo smart devices, Fire TV video streamers, and Kindle e-readers — and the savings are amazing. If you are looking for a smart home or just want to read mountains of books on a screen that you can use anywhere, you must know this page. Here are our current favorite finds.

Sure, the 3rd Gen Echo Dot may not have that rather as many features as the latest generations, but it has two big features that make it worth it. First, it’s cheap – now just $20. Second, it’s a great solution for easy access to Alexa. if you need a unit in the bedroom and you don’t want to spend a fortune, grab this deal. Oh, and if you want to grab an Echo Dot with a smart plug in it, don’t forget about this bundle.

“We usually have music in the house,” one happy user shared. “I talk almost all day almost every day. We listen to pretty much every kind of music out there, and with this thing, if we don’t know what we’re into, we just say play music and it picks a random music style or a playlist of all kinds of music and we usually like that.”

The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is Amazon’s most powerful streaming stick, and for good reason: it packs a lot of support for advanced features like Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and more. You can watch your favorite shows in stunningly high resolution, provided they support streaming at that level. Plus, you get access to thousands of free TV shows and movies.

“This works so much better than the cheaper version of the fire stick I have! First thing that impressed me the most is that it has volume control on the remote! No more switching between two remotes! I didn’t have to do anything special to get it It also works with my TV volume, which it did all by itself during the simple setup,” said a satisfied customer. “It works flawlessly with no hesitation or freezes and no need to point the remote directly at the TV either. The streaming quality is fantastic. No buffering issues like I had with the older version fire stick. I’m really impressed. I’ll be back buy one!”

Kindles are great, but the Fire HD 8 tablet can act as an e-reader, streaming device, and much more. It’s also great for viewing content or browsing the web through Amazon’s Silk browser. And at 50% off, this is an absolute bargain.

“I mainly use this tablet for reading Kindle e-books, but I also surf the web a bit. It’s fast. The color is beautiful and vibrant,” said one five-star reviewer. “…The screen is a great improvement over my 7-inch device, a delight I didn’t even expect to notice. I’m very pleased.”

This bundle is one lot value for money, especially when you consider that not only do you get a Fire TV Stick 4K – one of the best streaming devices on the market in my opinion – but also a controller that lets you play games straight from the cloud. And it doubles as a backup controller with the same build quality as a Nintendo Switch Pro controller. Not bad if I do say so myself.

“Wow! I can’t say anything negative about this Fire Stick. The visual quality is amazing,” said one gamer. “I’ve been a Fire Stick customer for about eight years and the 4K performance is definitely next generation. I love it. Great work, Amazon, keep it up! Oh, forgot to mention if you’re a Luna gamer , the graphics are creepy good stuff . Highly recommended!”

Ring offers multi-level security systems (three of which are now on sale), but this starter system is ideal for small homes and studio apartments. It contains a motion sensor, contact sensor, keypad, the range extender and a keypad. If something sets off the system, you’ll receive a notification right on your phone.

A 5-star reviewer said, “It was extremely easy to install and set up. The app provides a step-by-step guide which also helps a lot. The peace of mind that my home is being monitored is great. Don’t forget to turn off the alarm before you the door opens, because the alarm is LOUD!”

If you have a large house, you know how difficult it is to get WiFi to the farthest corners of the house. The Eero Pro 6 Mesh Wi-Fi Router can cover up to 2000 square feet of space and supports more than 75 different devices instantly. It’s Wi-Fi 6 compatible for the fastest speeds, and you can expand your network as needed to create a more reliable and secure internet.

One very happy user noticed a huge difference: “I originally had a Netgear Nighthawk R7000 Triband router, but since I have two floors, the rooms in the back didn’t get a strong signal. The house is 2019 square feet, and even with the antennas (six) it still could barely reach the upper rooms. With the Eero Pro 6 mesh system I only have one SSID and constant coverage. I have had absolutely no signal interruptions even with all my devices (seven DirecTV stream boxes, six phones, three tablets, smart thermostat, Echo Dot, three smart TVs) This was a great buy.”

The Fire HD 10 is the bigger cousin to the Fire HD 8, but that extra screen size makes it a great option for watching movies or browsing the web. You’ll have access to all your favorite social media apps, and the included keyboard cover not only makes it easy to post status updates, but doubles as a screen cover.

“My Fire HD 10 is just the latest in a long line of Kindles. I bought it mainly for the improved memory. I should have bought it sooner!” said one user. “For an old geek like me, it was a pleasant surprise that everything transferred to the new Fire with great ease. And now I don’t have to ‘ration’ my photos and videos. I’m very happy with the new Fire HD 10.”

If you’re looking for an easy-to-use TV that looks good, the Omni series has you covered. Between the support for HDR and Dolby Digital Plus, the 4K resolution, and the easy access to over a million TV shows and movies, it’s a great set-up-and-go kit. It also comes with a lot of bonus features – and right now it’s $120 off.

“In short, this is a great TV. Gaming in 4K and watching movies/shows looks great. There’s a plethora of options to fine-tune the picture settings,” said one satisfied viewer. “My favorite feature is the Smart-HDR setting, which makes SDR look much more detailed and has better contrast. The FireTV OS is my favorite over everything else (Roku, AppleTV). Best purchase I’ve made in a long time .”
