Amazon Prime Day is basically Black Friday for devices like Echo speakers, Fire TV sticks and Kindles. The Prime Day deals we see on Amazon devices are typically the same as you’ll find on Black Friday later in the year, or even better by a few dollars.
That means it’s the time to stock up — if you’re a Prime member and have wanted another Echo speaker for your office, a Fire tablet for your young child or a new Kindle to replace your aging one, these deals are the ones to snag. As expected, almost all of Amazon’s hardware is on sale for Prime Day; these are the best Prime Day deals on Amazon gear that you can get this year.
If you're looking for even more Prime Day deals, check out Engadget's Prime Day hub where you'll find all of the best tech deals you can get for the shopping event this year. In addition to Amazon devices, Prime Day is typically a great time to pick up big-ticket items like tablets, laptops and robot vacuums, and accessories like power banks, streaming devices, Bluetooth speakers and the like.
One thing you can always count on during Prime Day is that Amazon devices will be majorly on sale. The Amazon Echo Buds are currently 71% off — according to our trackers, they haven't been this cheap in more than two years!
These earbuds feature a wireless charging case, active noise cancellation and provide up to five hours of music playback per charge. Snag them now while they're just $35.
Tired of contending with a menagerie of remotes every time you want to watch TV? Stop the insanity with this Fire TV Stick — it can replace 'em all! You'll be able to effortlessly switch between the news, sports, live TV and your favorite streaming platforms for easy access to millions of shows and movies, plus watch over 300,000 titles for free via the included apps. Want to use voice control to navigate? Yup, it's got Alexa built in, too. This is the lowest price we've seen!
"I've converted my entire family to Fire Sticks," wrote a fan. "They're so user-friendly that even my elderly mother can handle it. It takes away the stress of multiple remotes and puts everything in one easy-to-use location."
Are your apps eating up more space than your Fire TV Stick can handle? The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is your fix. With its quad-core processor, you can even play Xbox games like Forza Motorsport, Starfield and Palworld — no console needed.
To experience Bridgerton or The Bear in their full glory, you need top-notch 4K resolution — and this device delivers on any compatible screen. It makes browsing over 300,000 free movies and TV episodes practically effortless, and right now, it's marked down to its lowest price ever.
If the Echo Dot feels like overkill, the Echo Pop is the more-subtle solution you've been waiting for. This pint-sized powerhouse still delivers great sound and smart features without taking over your space. Plus, it's 55% off, bringing it down to its lowest price yet. Compact, functional and affordable — it's a win for anyone looking to upgrade without the extra bulk.
The Amazon Echo Spot does it all — it can be an alarm clock, a timer, a weather forecaster or a speaker; it can also control your other smart home devices, make calls and so much more. It's "a fine nightstand companion," Broida says — read the rest of his Echo Spot review for more.
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. Snag one for over 50% off!
Yahoo's Senior Tech Writer, 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."
One Amazon shopper who calls the device a "must have" said they have five versions of Alexa around their house for various tasks. They shared: "In the unlikely event of a fall, I can call a friend or 911 for help, which is a potential lifesaver for people of any age. If I come home after dark, I can ask Alexa to turn on the lights so I don't walk into a dark house. Alexa does thousands of things to make life easier."
This new release has added privacy controls — it's ready for everything, from controlling smart home devices to streaming shows and music. Could 30,000 five-star reviewers be wrong?
A larger, 8-inch version of the Echo Show 5 listed above, this one's great if you want a bigger screen for streaming your favorite shows, following recipes while you cook or catching up with family on video calls. It's the perfect middle ground — big enough to be super useful but still compact enough that it doesn't feel like it's taking up all of your counter space.
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.
"I've always been (and always will be!) someone who prefers the printed page over digital screens. Which is why I've always been so hesitant to buy any type of Kindle, but when I recently saw a friend not only reading a PDf clearer than my printed sheet, but taking hand-written notes on the same doc, I was more than interested. So when I saw the scribe for almost 30% off, I knew I had to buy to cut some of the physical books and notebooks I usually carry around." —Scott Simone, managing editor
The Kindle Kids e-reader has been discounted for Prime Day to $100 This is the same device as the base Kindle, but it becomes more kid-friendly thanks to the included cover, two-year warranty and the included year of Amazon Kids+, which gives children ages 3-12 access to hundreds of appropriate ebooks and audiobooks. Just be sure to take note when you activate that subscription because it will renew after one year at the standard $6/month rate.
Amazon’s full-sized Echo speaker is on sale for $55 right now. It’s the best smart speaker for $100 or less at the moment thanks to its loud audio with good bass quality, the ability to pair two together for stereo sound and Alexa’s utility. The latest model also includes a temperature sensor and a built-in Zigbee smart home hub for connecting other IoT devices.
Prime Day deals also include a number of Echo bundles on sale as well, like this one with a smart light bulb and this one with a wall mount.
The Echo Studio has dropped to $170 for Prime Day. It provides the best sound quality of any Echo speaker thanks in part to a 30mm tweeter, three midrange speakers and a dedicated woofer, plus support for Lossless high-res and Dolby Atoms audio. It also includes analog and optical lines in and it, too, has a built-in Zigbee smart home hub.
The base Kindle is on sale for $85 for Prime Day. It’s our top pick for the best budget ereader out there, and it’s an even better value when you can snag it on discount. In addition to giving you access to Amazon’s vast Kindle ebook library, the entry-level Kindle has a good number of page customization options (for text size, font, margins, etc) and Audible integration, which lets you listen to Audible audiobooks if you have a pair of Bluetooth headphones.
The Kindle Paperwhite has dropped to $135 for Prime Day. The latest version of the Paperwhite has thinner bezels, an adjustable warm light, speedier page turns and a battery that can last up to 10 weeks on a single charge. This model is also IPX8 waterproof and has built-in Audible integration.
The Kindle Paperwhite Signature is on sale for $180 right now. It has all of the features that the standard Paperwhite does, but it also adds an auto-adjusting front light, wireless charging support and double the internal storage (32GB instead of 16GB).
In our Kindle Paperwhite Signature review, we gave the device a score of 97 for its more responsive screen, small bezels and the added convenience that the auto-adjusting light brings.
"I already own one of these (bought a couple of years ago, when it was sadly, not on sale) and have been very happy with how quickly and easily I can stream the many channels I subscribe to. I have an older Fire Stick on another TV and decided it deserves a Cube upgrade, as well. I've had it in my cart for a week or so now in anticipation of Prime Day. I'll be clicking 'buy' first thing on Oct. 8!"

The Fire HD 8 tablet is on sale for $50 right now. It’s a bit step up from the Fire 7 thanks to its 8-inch HD touchscreen, hexa-core processor and 13 hours of battery life.

The Fire HD 10 tablet has been discounted to $75 for Prime Day. This version has a 10-inch FHD touchscreen, improved camera for video calls, 13 hours of battery life and it works with a stylus (although you have to buy that separately).
