The Echo Pop is the cheapest Alexa speaker made by Amazon, and right now you can get a Sengled Smart Bulb with it for free. In our Echo Pop review, we said the Echo Pop sounds great for a speaker of its size. It lacks the temperature and motion sensors of the Echo Dot, but the Echo Pop still allows you to set timers, control your other smart home devices, and more.

FREE SMART BULB! The Echo Dot with Clock (5th Gen) packs Alexa functionality and a great speaker into a compact shell. The addition of the LED clock display makes it our favorite Alexa speaker. We also love the built-in Eero Wi-Fi extender and the room temperature sensor. Right now, it comes with a free Sengled Smart Color Bulb.
Amazon Fire 7 Tablet (2022): was $59 now $44 @ Amazon
The new Fire 7 Tablet is now on sale. In our Amazon Fire 7 2022 review, we said it's a super-affordable tablet for streaming video on trips or during your commute. Steer clear if you put performance over price, but as far as budget tablets go — this is as inexpensive as they get.
Ring Video Doorbell: was $99 now $54 @ Amazon
The wireless Ring Video Doorbell comes with 1080p video recording, motion detection and night vision. It's also got a rechargeable battery and can be installed without much hassle. In our Ring Video doorbell (2nd gen) review, we called it the best video doorbell you can get for under $100.

Plus, with full streaming capabilities, it can be used to watch movies and TV shows, as well as online video tutorials.
GoWISE 3.7-Quart Air Fryer: was $95 now $60 @ Amazon
This air fryer ranked as the best value in our GoWISE USA 3.7 Quart 8-in-1 Air Fryer review, and you can save big right now. Its 3.7 quart capacity would easily suit a couple or a small family, while the 8 presets give you a range of optimal settings at the press of a button. It excelled at roasting a chicken, as well as frying breaded chicken and chicken wings, although the pan’s not dishwasher safe which slows down clean up.
iPhone 15: free w/ Boost Infinite @ Amazon
Amazon is offering any iPhone 15 for free when you sign up for Boost Infinite. Boost Infinite is a membership plan for iPhone users. For $60/month, you get unlimited talk, text, and data.

Ninja AF101 Air Fryer: was $129 now $79 @ Amazon
Save 38% on this 4-quart air fryer. That's enough capacity to serve a small family, and this device is capable of crisping, roasting, reheating and dehydrating with its various settings. Anytime you can get this particular model for less than $100, you're getting a good value.
WD_Black SN850X 1TB NVMe SSD w/ heatsink: was $179 now $89 @ Amazon
The WD_Black SN850X SSD hits all of Sony's speed specifications and fits perfectly into the PS5's internal expansion slot, and it's recently been named an officially licensed PS5 accessory. This 1TB model includes a heatsink so it works right out of the box.
Nespresso sale: deals from $99 @ Amazon
If you want the convenience of a capsule machine, but don’t want to sacrifice on the quality of your coffee, Amazon is having a massive sale on Nespresso machines. After discount, prices start at just $99, which is the lowest price I've ever seen for a Nespresso machine. The least-expensive machine is the Nespresso Vertuo Pop Plus Deluxe on sale for $99 (was $149). In our hands-on, we said it's anything but entry level where performance is concerned. What sets the Vertuo range apart from Nespresso's other pod coffee machines is that it lets you brew a much wider range of coffee styles, aside from a single or double shot espresso.
Kindle Paperwhite: was $139 now $124 @ Amazon
The best Kindle for most people is the Kindle Paperwhite, as it's got a 6-inch flush-to-screen display, 5 LED front lights and 8GB of storage. The super-sharp 300 ppi screen means the text is rendered crisply for a comfortable reading experience. It's even waterproof, so there's no need to worry if you accidentally drop it while you're reading by the pool or in the bath.
Echo Studio: was $199 now $159 @ Amazon
The Amazon Echo Studio offers the best sound out of any Amazon speaker. You can pair it with other Alexa speakers for surround sound or even connect it to a turntable thanks to its 3.5mm audio-in port. It's now $40 off.
Apple Watch SE (2022): was $249 now $199 @ Amazon
It's not the most recently updated smartwatch in Apple's lineup, but we rank this entry-level wearable as the best value Apple Watch. This model offers sleep and fitness monitoring, crash detection features and even a way to monitor your heart rate.
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2: was $299 now $199 @ Amazon
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 take ANC to the next level. In our Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 review, we said these buds are a remarkable follow-up to their predecessors delivering better sound, call quality, and unrivaled ANC. Sound balance and noise neutralization work extremely well and battery life lasts up to 6 hours, with an extra 24 hours via the charging case. This is the cheapest they've ever been.
Meta Quest 2: was $299 now $249 @ Amazon
In our Meta Quest 2 review, we called the Meta Quest 2 the best VR headset you can buy for its upgraded specs, sleek design and expansive game library. This entry-level configuration with 128GB of storage normally costs $299, but it's now $249 at Amazon.
Bose QuietComfort Ultra: was $429 now $379 at Amazon
These headphones, which were only released in October, sound just incredible, delivering Bose's best-ever detail, balance and expansiveness – and in our Bose QC Ultra review, we found they had incredible noise-cancellation, too. They also have spatial audio, app customization, multi-point connectivity and more. They're available in black or white.
Sony WF-1000XM5: was $299 now $248 @ Amazon
These Editor's Choice awarded wireless earbuds are top of our list of the best wireless earbuds on the market right now — try them out and you'll see why. In our Sony WF-1000XM5 review, we found the smaller and lighter design comfortable to wear for long periods. They have some of the strongest ANC around, outstanding sound quality and one of the best user experiences from the Sony Headphones Connect app. Getting the best fit can be a bit hit and miss, but once achieved, the performance with LDAC sources is spectacular.

Nintendo Switch (Mario Kart 8 Bundle): $299 @ Amazon
One of the best Nintendo Switch deals is this Mario Kart 8 Bundle for $299. You get a Nintendo Switch console, a digital copy of the full Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game and three months of Switch Online membership. This is a pretty great package and it costs the same as the standalone console right now.
Apple Watch 9 (GPS/41mm): was $399 now $329 @ Amazon
The new Apple Watch 9 features a faster S9 chip for better performance, 4-core neural engine and 18-hours of battery life. It also supports Apple Double Tap, a new gesture that can be used to answer/end a call, stop a timer, play/pause music, or dismiss an alarm.
