October Prime Day kicks off next week, but early October Prime Day deals are plentiful, including bargains on headphones, Fire TVs, Blink cameras, Kindles, and more. Amazon's Echo Show smart devices are also seeing some good discounts and bundle deals right now—here are a few of the best I've found.
The third generation Echo Show 8 came out in late 2023 with an "outstanding" review from PCMag, and it is currently at its lowest price since its release, according to price tracking tools. The smart device has a powerful stereo sound, a high-resolution, auto-framing camera that follows you around, and a faster performance compared to its predecessor. The hands-off Alexa features make them ideal bedside or kitchen companions. You can get the Echo Show 8 for $84.99 (originally $149.99), but first, consider some of the bundles.
If you're looking for a security video doorbell, you can get the Blink Video Doorbell with the Echo Show 8 bundle for $94.99 (originally $209.98). If you don't want to spend $10 more, then you might as well consider the Echo Show 8 with the TP-Link Tapo Smart Color Bulb bundle for $84.99 (originally $174.98).
The Echo Show 5 has a five-inch screen compared to the Echo Show 8's eight-inch screen. This third-generation device also came out in 2023 with an "excellent" review from PCMag. It is at its second-lowest price ever at $49.99 (originally $89.99), according to price-checking tools. The speaker, screen, and camera also take a hit compared to the Echo Show 8, but that is also reflected in the price difference.
If you're in need of a security camera and are interested in the Echo Show 5, the Echo Show 5 with Blink Outdoor 4 bundle for $59.99 (originally $189.99) is a great deal. Since these Echo Show devices and Blink cameras are both Amazon products, you can sync them together and check the live feed on your camera right from your Echo Show by just saying the magic words to Alexa.
The Amazon Echo Hub is a great device for people who are deep in the smart device world and feel overwhelmed with too many different apps. This device helps to consolidate all of your devices in a single eight-inch, 1,280 by 800-pixel resolution screen that you can control and see better than opening multiple apps. It's designed to be wall-mounted and it is compatible with locks, lights, thermostats, speakers, cameras, TVs, and other smart devices that work with Zigbee, Matter, Sidewalk, and Thread through wifi or Bluetooth. You can read about it in more detail in PCMag's review. You can get it right now for $124.99 (originally $179.99), the lowest price yet, or for the same price, get the TP-Link Tapo Smart Color Bulb bundle.
