These Amazon deals address just about every room in your home, as well as your car. Shop the Echo and Fire TV sales below and make a smart pick:
Save 20 percent: Fire TV Stick 4K
If you have an older 4K TV or just don’t like the video streaming settings that came with it, upgrade it with the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K. It's on sale for just $40.
Simply plug it into one of your 4K or HD TV’s HDMI ports. That’s it: The streaming device will search for your home’s Wi-Fi network automatically and wait for you to log in. Once synced, you’ll have access to hundreds of streaming apps and channels, including Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, YouTube, Prime Video, HBO Max, Starz, Showtime and more. You’ll find fun interactive settings like pop-up results for actor and director names via IMDb. Ready to cut the cord?
Perhaps this shopper said it best: "If you get this new Fire Stick, then you can just forget cable."
Save $40: Echo Show 5
On sale for $50 (down from $90), the Echo Show 5 is the smaller, sleeker version of the 10-inch Echo Show. With a compact, crisp five-inch display, the Echo Show 5 is perfect for a nightstand. This smart-home display can double as a digital alarm clock, with Alexa built-in. Amazon has a wide range of personalized clock faces to choose from, so you can bring a bit of individuality to your device.
"This is the best alarm clock I've ever had," wrote a delighted five-star reviewer. "The clock face is customizable and very easy to read from anywhere in the room. The screen has no distortion or discoloration from any angle, so it is easy to see from everywhere...Perfect for checking the time in the middle of the night."
Save 30 percent: Echo Dot (fourth generation)
With an all-new sphere design, the fourth generation Echo Dot — which is marked down from $50 to just $35 at Amazon — is a small but powerful speaker with a glow-light base. It can stream tunes from Amazon Music, Spotify, Apple Music, Sirius XM and more with clearer, more robust audio quality than earlier iterations.
It can even pair with another Echo Dot to create amazing stereo sound. Alexa is included for the latest news and weather. Shoppers love the compact dimensions, which make the Echo Dot great for smaller rooms.
"This is exactly what I was looking for," raved a happy Amazon shopper. "The sound is loud and clear. Now I am able to hear all online stations with no interference. The design is space-saving, with rubber underneath to prevent sliding."
Save 50 percent: Echo Auto
If you ever wanted Alexa in your car, here’s your chance. The Echo Auto is a clever little gizmo that instantly makes your old vehicle smart. It connects to your car's stereo via auxiliary input and pairs to your phone with Bluetooth. Then you can talk to Alexa just like at home.
No worries about the roar of you engine, the wind, or traffic getting in the way of your voice. The Echo Aut is designed with eight mighty microphones, so it can clearly pick up voice commands. It’s absolutely genius for making hands-free phone calls and calling up your favorite driving tunes on Amazon Music, Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora and more.
"I'm actually impressed with this little device," wrote a delighted five-star Amazon reviewer. "I've tried other car Alexa-enabled devices but they've always struggled to pick up my voice over noises such as the radio, a window being down or other people chatting in the car. [This device] always picks up my voice no matter the sound level."
Save $20: Fire TV Cube
On sale for $100 (was $120), the Fire TV Cube is a considerable upgrade from the Fire TV Stick. It’s speedier and more powerful, so you won’t get any buffering, pauses, or lag. It also comes with twice the amount of storage — i.e., 16GB.
Thanks to built-in Alexa, you can load Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, Disney+, HBO Max, Paramount+, Peacock and much more with just the sound of your voice. You can use Alexa to control the TV — turn it on or off, search for movies and shows, change the volume, stream channels, and switch between cable and over-the-air TV. Of course, you can still access Alexa for up-to-the-minute news, weather reports, music and podcasts.
"It will be a great addition for your home theater system. Easy to install and integrates perfectly," shared a savvy TV watcher. "The video in 4K is great. The colors are vibrant, the sound is clear. The system works flawlessly."
