Amazon device sale: deals from $24 @ Amazon
Amazon is offering a free Sengled Smart Bulb with select Echo devices. After discount, deals start from $24. We recommend the Echo Dot with Clock w/ Bulb for $39 (pictured) as it 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 WiFi extender and the room temperature sensor. If you're an Alexa newbie or want to update an older Echo, the Echo Dot with Clock is the best smart speaker and best smart home device you can buy.
Krups One-Touch Grinder: was $24 now $18 @ Amazon
I've been using my Krups One-Touch Grinder for over five years and it's still running like new. It fits up to three ounces of coffee beans, peppercorns, or whatever else you want to grind. It has stainless steel blades to ensure even and uniform grounds every time. Plus, there's a lid-activated safety so the blades only spin when the lid is secure.

However, the sale also includes larger sets. These are among the cheapest TVs we've seen from Amazon. Note that Best Buy is offering a similar sale with prices from $59.

In our Apple Watch 9 review, we said the Editor's Choice watch got significant performance upgrades and remains the best smartwatch you can buy. Although it was $20 less earlier in a 24-hour flash sale, this is the second-best price we've ever seen.
