It can be challenging to sift through thousands of October Prime Day deals—how do you know if you're getting a good deal or being duped into thinking you are? As a tech shopping writer, I try to make that process easier for you by using tools to price check deals and recommend products that are worth your money (here are my favorites for Prime Day). After doing that work, I can tell you that all of the following tech products have the best deals they've ever gotten on Amazon.
The Echo Show 8 is down to its lowest price of $84.99 (originally $149.99). This is a great opportunity to get a smart-screen device in your kitchen to help you with cooking videos thanks to its hands-free Alexa features, or to have a bedside companion to wake you up with the news or help you wind down at night with some music or media (you shouldn't really be watching screens before bed, though).
The Amazon Fire TV 2-Series, currently $159.99 (originally $249.99) is Amazon's budget TV, and it's cheap. It's not 4K, only reaching 1080p high definition, but for the price, that's expected. It also has the Fire TV operating system, meaning you get to download your favorite streaming apps or install Kodi to stream anything for free. If you don't mind spending more for a better TV, the 50-inch Fire TV 4-Series is 4K and it's currently $279.99 (originally $449.99).
If you already have a TV, you can just make it smart with the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max for $34.99 (originally $59.99). Obviously, you'd want a 4K to be to do this (but you don't need one to use it).
If you rather use a Kindle tablet to surf the web or watch your favorite shows over a laptop or your phone, Amazon's largest tablet, the Amazon Fire Max 11 is $139.99 (originally $229.99). This 13th-generation Fire tablet was released last summer with an "excellent" review from PCMag for the quality of its screen, upgrades in design, good performance, and access to the Amazon ecosystem.
If you're frustrated with your wifi situation and are looking for what's the best technology available to the public at the moment, consider the Amazon Eero Max 7 mesh wifi router starting at $449.99 (originally $599.99). The three-pack with a router and two points is $1,299.99 (originally $1,699.99). Mesh wifi can do wonders if your current situation isn't optimal—just make sure your devices are the problem, and not something else. You can read more about the Eero Max 7 in PCMag's review.
Blink and Ring are both owned by Amazon, so of course they have hefty discounts right now. The Blink Mini 2 just came out this year, and it's both an indoor and outdoor camera. You can get it now for just $19.99 (originally $39.99). If you know you'll just be using your cameras outdoors, then get the Blink Outdoor 4. Currently, the three-pack is 62% off, bringing it down to $99.99 (originally $259.99), the regular price of just a single one. If you prefer to have 24-hour professional monitoring with emergency police or fire response on speed dial, the Ring Alarm 14-Piece Kit is a better fit for $197.99 (originally $329.99). It has motion sensors, contact sensors, and a range extender if your home is large and needs help with range and network coverage.
