Echo Show 8 HD smart display with Alexa
Visual learners, this one's for you: The Echo Show 8 is on sale. With its 8-inch display, this Amazon device shows weather and traffic reports, makes video calls and shows you step-by-step recipes with Food Network Kitchen, among its many other features. It's on sale for $70, marked down from its $110 list price.
Echo Dot Kids (generation 4)
The adorable fourth-generation Echo Dot Kids come with a free year of Amazon Kids+, the company's family-friendly subscription suite of audiobooks, games and apps. It's also pre-loaded with parental controls, so kids will stick to fun and age-appropriate content. During Prime Day, these two designs are available for just $35 each.
Echo Dot with clock (generation 4)
Amazon is also slashing prices on the fourth-generation Echo Dot with clock, a smart replacement for an old-school bedroom alarm clock. You can use its Alexa-based voice control to set wake-up alarms, play music, turn on smart home gadgets, check the weather and more. This version of the Dot is on sale for $35, a deep discount from its $60 list price.
Echo Dot (Generation 4)
Alexa, save me money! This Echo Dot has all the same features of the previous one, except the clock. If you don't need a clock display, you can save another $10 by buying this Dot instead.
Echo Dot (Generation 3)
If you want to save serious money on your Echo Dot, the third-generation model is a great option. The design is older, but skills-wise, this smart speaker is the same as the fourth-generation Dot. The puck-shaped speaker is available for $20 during the Prime Day festivities, half its $40 list price.
Fire TV Stick 4K streaming device
This 4K plug-and-play streaming stick from Amazon, originally released in 2018, comes with an Alexa voice remote and Dolby Atmos Audio. During Prime Day, you can score a 4K Fire TV Stick for just $25, half its list price.
Fire TV Stick Lite
The Fire TV Stick Lite is the budget-tier streaming device in the Fire TV family. The 1080p streamer is a great option for 1080p televisions -- just keep in mind that the Lite remote doesn't have volume controls so you'll need to keep a TV remote handy.
The list price on the Fire TV Stick Lite is $30. For Prime Day, Amazon is selling the streaming stick for $18.
Certified Refurbished Ring Video Doorbell Elite
This refurbished doorbell has 1080p HD video, night vision, a 160-degree horizontal viewing angle and two-way talk capabilities. The Ring Elite also has customizable motion zones to keep the focus of its motion detector on the most important areas around your house.
One things to know before buying: This version of the Ring doorbell is powered via an ethernet cable, so you'll need a drill and a little bit of knowhow to install it (or have the means to hire someone who does). The good news is that this model has less lag than with wireless-only Ring doorbells, and there will never be a worry about replacing batteries.
The refurbished Ring Video Doorbell Elite is $130 for Prime Day, a whopping 57% off its $300 list price.
Certified Refurbished Ring Video Doorbell 2
Like the Elite model, the Ring Video Doorbell 2 has 1080p HD video, night vision and two-way talk. This budget-friendly model, powered by a battery pack or hard-wired connection, allows you to adjust the motion sensor sensitivity, but not its areas of focus.
Amazon has marked this easy-to-install refurbished model down to $80 for Prime Day, a $40 savings.
Kindle Paperwhite
Good news for those who are looking to catch up on the best beach reads this summer: The new Kindle Paperwhite is waterproof. And with its super-bright display, you can see the screen, even in bright sunlight.
This Prime Day, Amazon is selling the ad-supported Kindle for $80 and the ad-free version for $100.
Fire HD 8 kids' tablet
Amazon's Fire 8 HD kids' tablet is marked down 50% from the list price. And, because Amazon knows that kids can be tough on tech, this tablet comes with a 2-year worry-free guarantee. If it breaks, just return it, and they'll replace it at no charge. Like the kid-friendly Echo Dot, this 8-inch tablet also comes with a free year of Amazon Kids+.
Fire HD 8 tablet
Looking for a more grown-up version of this 8-inch tablet? Great news: The Fire HD 8 tablet with an 8-inch HD display, 32 GB storage, 2 GB RAM and 12-hour battery life is half price for Prime Day -- just $45.
Eero Pro mesh Wi-Fi system
The Eero whole-home mesh Wi-Fi system replaces your old router and extenders with Amazon's reliable 5G mesh network. This bundle comes with an Eero Pro (that connects to your modem via Ethernet) and two Eero Beacons (the wall outlet-powered Wi-Fi access point that adds 1,500 square feet to your connectivity range). During Prime Day, the Eero system is marked down 40% from the list price.
Ring floodlight camera with security system
This multi-function security unit from Ring combines 1080p video, motion-activated floodlights and a 105-decibel alarm to give you round-the-clock peace of mind. If someone enters one of your customizable motion zones, you'll be the first to know. You can get one of these units for $140, while Prime Day promotions last.
Blink Mini indoor security camera
These tiny indoor security cameras will send a notification to your phone whenever motion is detected, so you can keep an eye on your stuff while traveling or sleeping. Want to know what your dog does while you're at work? The Blink will fill you in on Fido's daytime activities.
During Prime Day, these cameras are on deep discount -- they're one of the best Amazon Prime Day deals under $20.
