Amazon Black Friday includes deals of up to 60% off Fire TVs, Ring cameras and more

This little gadget will give you an instant upgrade to the performance of your TV. 

Tired of dealing with a streaming stick that is constantly full and bogged down by apps? This is the most powerful Fire TV stick out there, and with 16GB, it can handle pretty much everything you throw at it.

For about the price of a movie ticket and a popcorn, the Fire TV Stick 4K offers quick and easy access to more content than you'll ever be able to watch in a lifetime. We're talking 1.5 million shows and movies at your fingertips. And right now, you can snag it for $20 off.

A tablet can be a senior's best friend, offering a wealth of entertainment on a simple device — ideally one with a spacious screen. The Fire Max 11 is about as roomy as they come, with a high-resolution 11-inch display that's bright and beautiful. This is the lowest price on record for Amazon's latest tablet, which is the first to truly rival Apple's iPad. Read my Fire Max 11 review to learn more.

As big-screen upgrades go, this Amazon Fire TV hits the sweet spot between premium features and wallet-friendly price. For under $650, you're getting a massive 65-inch 4K display with Dolby Vision and HDR 10, meaning those binge sessions or movie nights will look crystal clear and vibrant. Throw Alexa into the mix, and it's essentially a smart-home hub masquerading as a TV. 

With 4K resolution and HDR 10, this TV delivers a sharp, vibrant picture, no matter which of the 1.5 million available movies or shows you're streaming.

Thanks to this set's quantum dot display, HDR content practically leaps (get it — quantum leap?) off the screen. Whether you're watching a late-night movie or catching a game in a bright living room, the QLED screen delivers razor-sharp contrast in any lighting.

PS: When you're not using it, Ambient Experience tech turns your TV into a display for artwork or personal photos.

With an all-time low price, this is one heck of a deal on a great-looking TV. It has a lot of cool features, like the ability to pause content on one screen and pick it up without missing a beat on another. Not sure what to watch next? Alexa Voice Remote is onboard to help with that.

This 55-inch TV not only delivers stunning 4K visuals and Alexa Voice Remote convenience, but it features four HDMI ports, allowing you to connect all your other devices — like gaming consoles, Blu-ray players and soundbars — effortlessly. With access to top streaming services, it's easy to find content and get personalized recommendations right on the built-in Fire TV interface. 

A good flesh-and-blood assistant is hard to find, but an ace virtual alternative isn't. The Echo Pop is as compact as it is useful, and this smart speaker would be a welcome addition to your loved one's kitchen, bedroom or home office. 

According to Yahoo Deals Editor Chris McGraw, it's a "smaller, feistier version of the Echo Dot" that gives you "full access to Alexa, and [you] can ask it to play music, audiobooks, the weather, set reminders and much more. Even better; the Echo Pop includes Eero functionality, so it acts as a mesh router relay point, expanding your Wi-Fi if you use a compatible system."

Amazon invented the smart speaker (hey Alexa!), so you can trust that it knows what it's doing by now. The latest Echo Dot offers great sound for its size, performs an array of functions and regularly costs $50. However, leading up to Prime Day, you can snag it for half off!

Yahoo's Senior Tech Editor, Rick Broida, writes in his review: "I consider the Echo Dot an excellent device, one that's incredibly useful and versatile. Whether it's your first foray into smart speakers or simply an extension of an existing smart-home setup, you'll find it an amazing asset."

The Echo Spot is practically designed for your nightstand, featuring a large, easy-to-read font that displays time, weather and temperature. Plus, it has a built-in speaker, allowing you to stream your favorite tunes from Amazon Music, Spotify and other services, as well as listen to podcasts or check your reminders.

Don’t let its looks fool you — the Echo isn't just another smart speaker. It combines impressive audio with a built-in smart home hub, making it easy to control your devices, plus it sounds great even when Alexa reminds you to grab the groceries. 

Give your ride a tech upgrade with the Echo Auto, now at its lowest price ever. With Alexa onboard, you can send texts, make calls and control your music, podcasts and audiobooks — all hands-free. With its five built-in microphones, Alexa will hear you loud and clear, even over road noise.

Featuring a semi-in-ear design, these earbuds let you immerse yourself in music, podcasts or audiobooks without losing touch with the real world. Plus, with the charging case, they offer up to 20 hours of playback — all for under $25, the lowest price ever.

Over 70% off? Yes, you read that right. These earbuds share the regular Echo Buds' long-lasting battery, Alexa app compatibility and premium sound quality — plus the added benefit of active noise cancellation to keep distractions at bay.

Amazon's Fire HD 8 tablet features a sleek design and all the essentials you'd expect, including an 8-inch HD display and a solid 13-hour battery life. Whether you're binge-watching shows or scrolling through your favorite apps, this tablet keeps up with your on-the-go lifestyle — all for under $60.

Amazon says this is "built for relaxation" — it comes loaded with Netflix, Facebook, Kindle and other fun apps.

If you're dipping your toes into the world of home security, this doorbell camera is a fantastic place to start. For less than $30, you’ll get a full HD-quality picture, infrared night vision and the convenience of answering your doorbell right from your phone. Plus, Blink subscription plans start at only $3 a month.

A weather-resistant option that will work both inside and out, this camera is 45% off and provides you with crystal clear 1080p video, two-way talk and a long-lasting rechargeable battery. 

When I moved into my house six years ago, it came with a doorbell outside and an old-school chime inside — but neither had been hooked up in who knows how long. We needed a replacement, so we went with a Ring. It was super easy to install, doesn't need to be charged all that often and the subscription is surprisingly cheap (though I am getting pretty sick of everything being a subscription these days).

At a rare 50% off, it's within $2 of its all-time low. 

With this three-pack of outdoor cameras, you can blanket your property with security. Pair this with the Blink doorbell listed above, and you can keep an eye on everything going on around your house for less than $130.

While the night vision on Ring cameras is good, a spotlight cam like this one will record anyone or anything that sets it off, and if that's not enough, a built-in siren can spook any wannabe burglars.

If you already have a video doorbell and want a floodlight on its own, this 40% off deal is for you. Not only does it match the all-time low price (first seen last Black Friday), but it has loads of powerful features that make it a great addition to an existing security system. 

With coverage up to 4,500 square feet, this mesh Wi-Fi solution will make dead zones a thing of the past, and it's over $100 off. The 1-, 2- and 4-packs are also on sale, so you can customize your Wi-Fi solution to your space.

Don't you think it's time you smartened up ... your entertainment setup? While Alexa makes searching and controlling your other devices a no-brainer, this set's 1080p resolution, HDR 10 and Dolby Digital Audio bring the state-of-the-art audio and video you so richly deserve. And oh yeah: Fire TV offers access to over a million titles, including free options like Tubi and Pluto TV. Simply put, this set's packed with features and capabilities you'd expect at a much higher price.

How 'bout a bite-sized screen for a bite-sized price? Seriously: When was the last time you saw a TV at such a ridiculously low price? Tuck it into a spare bedroom, put it on the kitchen counter, even set it in the garage. If you like to wander, it makes an excellent choice for an RV. 

Don't let the low price fool you, either. Fans love it: "Excellent picture and sound quality. The picture is so bright and clear."

While most TVs on this list feature 4K screens, this 42-inch 1080p model is hard to beat at just $130 (a mere penny off its lowest-ever price). It's still high-def and it's 72% larger than the 32-inch option, making it a great choice if you're short on space but still want a significant upgrade to your viewing experience.

Confession: While we're loving all the deals in our Black Friday roundup, this 55-inch 4K TV is truly a standout. A bigger, higher-resolution upgrade from the models above, it delivers everything you need: impressive size, top-tier picture quality and all the apps, shows and movies that Fire TV brings to the table.

Get this smart device at its lowest price ever. Let Alexa help you set alarms, update your calendar, play music, control compatible devices and stream movies and TV. 

The Echo Show 8 does it all. Your brother can use it to play his favorite music, check out the weather forecast, browse news headlines, stream movies and so much more from the comfort of the couch or on his next flight

Is screen real estate more important than counter space? Then this Echo Show might be just the thing. Its screen actually swivels to follow you, so whether you're reading a recipe or video chatting with family, you're always in view. Oh, and it streams your favorite shows too — perfect for catching up on a series while chopping veggies or cleaning. Ditch that bulky old TV on the counter for something way smarter (and way more useful).

Growing up, I had a friend whose family computer was in their kitchen. I remember thinking that was so cool — an iMac right there on the counter for movies, iTunes (remember that?) and browsing the web. The downside? It took up a ton of space. That's where the Echo Show 15 (and its bigger sibling, the Echo Show 21) comes in. Mount it on the wall or set it on a stand — it's sleek, space-saving and way more versatile. From streaming your favorite shows and controlling smart devices to looking up recipes or making video calls, it does it all.

So you have all of the smart devices, how do you control them? The Alexa app on your phone is one choice. This Echo Hub is another. Mount it to your wall and anyone in the family can control the smart devices around the house, no searching for your phone necessary.

I'll never forget the first time a friend showed me his house decked out with smart bulbs. Controlling every light with just your voice? Mind-blowing. Hearing they were $50 a bulb? Not so much. Thankfully, times have changed, and now you can snag six smart bulbs for less than what one used to cost.
