If your plan is to celebrate while cranking the a/c at home, there's the Amazon Fire TV 50" 4-Series 4K UHD smart TV discounted by $210, a Fire TV Gaming Bundle for only $90 with a Prime membership and the Amazon Eero 6+ for $105 off. But if you want to be more outdoorsy (including lounging at the pool) there's the Amazon Halo View Fitness Tracker for $45 (down from $80) or the Kindle Paperwhite discounted by $70!
In-between, you'll also see sales on Amazon's Echo and Echo Show that'll help keep your home secure while you're away and ensure you're entertained while at home. Whatever your plan, make it a happy 4th of July and enjoy scouring the virtual aisles while Amazon's got deals galore. Are you ready? Then start shopping!
When you need the motivation to get moving, but not sure you want to spend big bucks on a fitness tracker, the Halo View will fit the bill. It measures your activity, blood oxygen saturation, heart rate, sleep, and skin temperature, while its companion app offers tons of features to help you ratchet up (or down) your results. Includes one year of full access to exclusive membership features, workouts, and programs.
Shoppers love being able to literally see their stats improve. "Everything I measure, I pay attention to and it improves," said one fit customer. "With this device I track my exercise every day, biking, running, power walk, whatever I do. I’m tracking and measuring it, so I’m thinking about it. I want to look at this device and see my numbers improve, so I exercise more. People are motivated that way, we have a natural tendency to want to improve, especially if we are the type of person interested in a device like this in the first place."
This super-smart speaker delivers crisp vocals and balanced bass that'll give you that wall of sound you've always wanted. Stream songs from Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, SiriusXM and others or play audiobooks and podcasts throughout your home with multi-room music. And since the Echo comes with Alexa, you can have her to play the news, answer questions, check the weather — even tell a joke! You can also use voice activation to turn on your smart lights, adjust the thermostat and lock doors with compatible devices. It's no wonder this cute gadget has more than 28,000 five-star reviews.
"Best ever!" exclaimed one reviewer. "I love the look of the new globe-style dots. The sound is excellent for its size and I love the futuristic look and shape of the device. Highly recommended!"
Check in when you're away with the built-in camera, and control compatible devices like cameras, lights, and more using the interactive display or your voice. Whatever you need, Echo's got you covered.
This shopper who loves their Echo wrote, "I had no idea how badly I needed this in my life until I actually got it installed. I’m obsessed! I don’t even think I’ve scratched the surface on some of the things the Echo can do, but if you're looking for a new gadget to pair with your Alexa devices, this is definitely the one!"
Amazon's dazzling venture into the world of smart TVs comes equipped with built-in Fire TV, which gives you access to more than 500,000 movies and episodes and thousands of channels and apps. With the included Alexa remote, you can even use voice commands to launch apps, search for titles, play music, and more. The picture is seriously stunning, say fans.
This reviewer loves the Fire TV's OS. "It boots up quickly and is always one home button, button click away no matter what you're doing or which input you're on. Everything is snappy and loads quickly. Apple+, PS5, Prime Video, PLEX, Recast, etc. have all been tested and work/look great. There's enough picture options to dial things in to your liking. You can adjust the picture settings for each input. AND for each individual app! Which is pretty amazing and useful."
Gigabit speed for less is what you get with Amazon's Eero 6+. There’s enough bandwidth for your whole family to work, stream, and video chat — all at the same time! Eero’s patented TrueMesh technology — which splits that one router into multiple access points — intelligently routes traffic to reduce drop-offs and dead spots. Set it up in minutes!
This Eero-phile reports, "I am getting much better speeds. Especially outside my house. I wasn't able to hardwire my home office. But now I can with the Eero 6+ and I'm getting 600mb downloads, which has been a huge boost!"
Now this is a bundle! It includes a Fire TV Stick 4K and Luna controller, so you can watch favorites from Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, HBO Max and more, and play games from Luna’s growing library including Control, GRID and Metro Exodus. Pair Luna to Fire TV via Bluetooth to use as a remote and play games. Compatible with select Windows PC, Mac, phone, and tablet games outside of Luna as well. Play on, player!
This shopper gushed, "I don't know why I've waited all these years to get a Amazon Fire Stick. It only took minutes to install and once I downloaded all my apps and logged in to my accounts I was easily accessing all my digital media. The picture quality is great. I'm using an older Samsung TV but it works with the 4K new Fire Stick no problem. Don't wait." We won't!
Take the Kindle Paperwhite to the beach — or a bubble-filled tub — since it's waterproof. You can even pair this version with Audible to listen to books when you're on the go. And, get this — a single battery charge lasts for weeks.
This shopper breaks it down. "This new Kindle merits five stars. Here are some Kindle Paperwhite features you'll enjoy: Built-in light — reading in bed while someone is trying to sleep next to you is now easy. Touch screen — getting around your Kindle is easy. Turn pages and shop in the store, all by touching the screen. Bluetooth — sync this up with a speaker or headphones to have a book read to you. Waterproof — this is a new feature to this Kindle. So bring it in the pool worry-free!"
