Massive Prime Day preview sale on Amazon devices live from $8 — 15 deals I'd shop on Echo, Fire TV Sticks, Blink, Ring and more

Tom's Guide01-07-2025
We're a week out from Prime Day, but Amazon is getting the deals started early. Right now you can shop huge savings on a bunch of devices from Echo, Blink, Ring and more.
For example right now you can get the Echo Spot on sale for $44 at Amazon. We rank this device as one of the best smart displays because of its compact design, excellent sound quality and wealth of useful features. With a massive 44% discount, it's at its lowest price ever.
Or, if you want to up your smart home security setup, you can grab the Blink Outdoor 4 (3-pack) on sale for $99 at Amazon. This deal gets you a set of three Blink Outdoor 4s (one of the best home security cameras we've tested) for a massive $160 off.
Some deals are exclusive to Amazon Prime members, but you can sign up for a free trial if you're not already a member. For more savings, see our Amazon promo codes, and check out the YETI deals I'd buy from $15 on coolers and tumblers.
This Kasa Smart Light Bulb displays are conveniently compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant. Adjust the brightness from 1% to 100%. You can even dim them for a DIY sunrise alarm, scheduling them to brighten in the morning gradually and slowly dim down after sunset to kickstart a sleeping routine.
Bring Alexa into your car with the Amazon Echo Auto. In our Amazon Echo Auto review, we called it a much more refined version of its predecessor. We also liked the new design, improved microphones, and roadside assistance.
The new Fire TV Stick 4K (2024) sports an upgraded 1.7GHz quad-core processor that's 30% more powerful than the previous model. In our Amazon Fire TV stick 4K review, we praised its 4K video quality for a budget price. Features include Dolby Vision/HDR10/HDR10+/HLG support, Wi-Fi 6 support and a Live TV guide button on the remote. You also get Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby Atmos support to improve your streaming audio.
With active noise canceling on board, for this incredibly low price, you're not going to find much better than the Echo Buds. They're small, comfortable, and sound pretty good to boot — and there's also a massive discount applied right now to pull you in.
Amazon's compact smart speaker packs Alexa features into a space-saving design. The Echo Pop delivers clear audio for music and podcasts, while still handling all your usual voice commands. Good for nightstands or desks where space is tight, and the semi-sphere design looks cleaner than typical smart speakers.
The Echo Spot offers a different take on the smart screen format. As well as playing your music and podcasts hands-free, it's also great for quick glances at weather, time and notifications, with a design that fits nicely on any surface.
If you own smart home devices and don't have a control panel to control them, this is the deal for you. In our Amazon Echo Hub review we said the Editor's Choice device puts every aspect of your smart home at your fingertips with the ability to connect to thousands of devices effortlessly.
The new Fire TV Stick 4K (2024) sports an upgraded 1.7GHz quad-core processor that's 30% more powerful than the previous model. In our Amazon Fire TV stick 4K review, we praised its 4K video quality for a budget price. Features include Dolby Vision/HDR10/HDR10+/HLG support, Wi-Fi 6 support and a Live TV guide button on the remote. You also get Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby Atmos support to improve your streaming audio.
This is one of the best streaming devices available. In our Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max review, we praised its snappy performance, 4K Ultra HD streaming at 60fps with HDR, WiFi 6 support and the included Alexa Voice Remote. Don't pass up the chance to get it at this price.
In our Amazon Fire TV Cube review, we loved this Fire TV device for its speedy performance and easy-to-use interface. It also comes with an Ethernet port, USB-A, and HDMI-in. It's the best Fire TV device yet, combining best-in-class speed with a new remote and an extra HDMI port for device jugglers.
The Ring Indoor Cam (2023) can record 1080p video, scare off intruders with a built-in siren, and detect motion in specified zones. It is more compact than the previous model with the addition of a new privacy shutter and upgraded mount. Right now you can get a two-pack for $59 — that's the same price as a single camera.
The Ring Battery Doorbell can be easily installed to watch your front door, while the Indoor Cam can be set up in less than ten minutes to view the interior of your home and give you a 1080p HD view complete with motion detection and a privacy cover. Though the Indoor Cam does require a power outlet, it also provides two way audio and noise cancellation and has a wide field of view. The Ring Battery Doorbell is our best value choice for Ring doorbells because it delivers the features we like most in Ring doorbells but still costs less than $100.
This bundle gets you a Blink Outdoor 4 Camera and a Blink Floodlight Mount for 54% off. This wireless setup runs entirely on battery so it can be placed on virtually any surface without existing floodlight wiring. It's perfect for use in dark areas like on a shed or the side of your home.
What's better than one Blink Outdoor 4 for monitoring your yard? Try three Blink Outdoor 4 cameras shooting crisp 1080p video. Buy the 3-pack, nd you can currently save $120 on the entire package.
The Blink Outdoor 4 is one of the most popular models for keeping tabs on what's happening outside of the home. With this bundle, you'll get four fully wireless security cameras that shoot crisp 1080p video both inside and outdoors for up to two years straight. The security camera earned our Editor's Choice award and is one of the best home security cameras we've tested.

Check out our roundups of the top offers at places like Amazon, Best Buy, Home Depot and, of course, our live blog with discounts and bargains from all over. How we choose the best Labor Day deals At CNET, we've got a team of expert shoppers and deal-hunters whose experience spans years of helping buyers understand which major sales and deals are legitimately good and which are more routine. That includes Black Friday, Prime Day, Fourth of July and countless other shopping events. We've gotten very good at weeding out scams and superficial savings. We look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time when choosing a deal to show you. Real discounts mean exactly that. We look at the price history for all items sold to make sure no manufacturers are inflating prices to make the discount seem more substantial than it is. Quality reviews are important for any product, but especially for big purchase items like grills, furniture and appliances. If it breaks the first time you use it, the discount isn't really worthwhile. Remaining sale time is a huge part of our vetting process. If a deal seems like it will only be around for a short while or will only be available for the remaining stock, we'll let you know upfront so you don't come back to the deal later only to be disappointed. Will tariffs affect Labor Day laptop pricing? With tariffs looming, it's a question on everyone's mind. Unfortunately, there's a good chance that tech items like laptops will be affected. For example, in our tariff tracker, we're watching companies such as Lenovo. Lenovo is notable among the big laptop manufacturers for being a Chinese company, which makes it especially susceptible to Trump's tariffs. With so many good deals already pouring in, if you see something you like between now and Labor Day, we recommend buying it because it may cost you a lot less than in the future.

GoPro HERO13 Black With HB-Series Lenses at Historic Low, This Bundle Makes the Lenses Practically Free

It's never been easier to shoot and share incredible action videos than it is now, thanks to huge technological leaps in both mini-cameras and drones. Maybe it's in response to the rapidly growing footprint of drone photography, with DJI's affordable and easy-to-use flying cameras leading the way, but GoPro has been seriously raising its game as of late. Take the GoPro HERO13 Black as an example. It may be the best combination of premium-level action camera that's good enough for pro shooters and accessible enough for enthusiasts and the merely curious, and it just got more accessible in price thanks to Amazon's limited-time deal that bundles the HERO13 black with a wide array of lenses and filters along with a premium carrying case for 27% off — just $550. See at Amazon The GoPro HERO13 Black's upgrades are significant, starting with the all-important battery life. This model sports the 1,900mAh Enduro battery, with 10% longer life than its predecessor. That translates into about 2.5 hours of recording before it needs to be recharged or swapped out for a fresh one. (The new battery is not retro-compatible with older GoPro models.) GoPro also upgraded the HERO13 Black with Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, GPS, burst-mode slo-mo up to 400 frames per second, and an improved magnetic mounting system. Of course, all of the amazing features of the previous GoPro models — waterproofing up to 33 feet down, easy offloading via Wi-Fi or USB, automatic rough cuts, cloud backup of your shoots, and more — are still in place. There's no question the GoPro HERO13 is the superstar of this great Amazon bundle deal, but the accessories make the package complete. The Ultra Wide Lens Mod gives you an expanded 177-degree field of view while boosting stabilization for 4K60 video shooting. The Macro Lens Mod makes exceptional close-ups down to 11cm amazingly crisp and clear for fine detail shoots. The Anamorphic Lens Mod is for 21:9 widescreen cinematic shoots, and the 4-pack of ND Filters helps control exposure for cinematic motion and depth. Along with the curved adhesive mount, mounting buckle and thumbscrew, microfiber lens cloth, and USB-C cable, it all fits in the premium protective carrying case. An experienced videographer will deeply appreciate the power and versatility of this GoPro HERO13 Black bundle, along with the 27% price reduction. Novices and even those who've never shot an action video before but are very curious will find themselves sucked into an amazingly fun new hobby they can share with family and friends. The GoPro HERO13 Black + HB Series Lens Collection bundle is just $550 right now at Amazon. See at Amazon

This 48% off bedframe gives five-star hotel vibes, but costs less than your bedding

New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. A bed frame sets the tone for your entire bedroom. It's not just a piece of furniture; it's the anchor, the quiet centerpiece that dictates whether your space leans chic hotel suite or chaotic college crash pad. And when you find one that looks designer without bleeding your bank account dry, it's the home decor equivalent of winning the lottery. Enter the Yaheetech Queen Bed Frame Upholstered Platform Bed with Fabric Headboard, which just so happens to be nearly half off on Amazon right now. It's a headboard that brings a sense of warmth and polish to a space, elevating even the simplest bedding. The platform base eliminates the need for a box spring, keeping the look (and your spending) streamlined. Advertisement It has that understated, tailored look you'd expect in a boutique hotel: clean lines, soft upholstery, and a headboard that inspired sophistication instead of shouting 'budget buy.' The fact that it comes in at a price point lower than what you'd spend on a single set of decent bedding is the real kicker. Amazon The Yaheetech frame is built with a sturdy wooden slat system that supports a mattress without sagging, plus an upholstered headboard that provides a plush backdrop for reading, scrolling, or simply admiring your well-put-together bedroom. It's designed to balance durability with design, with fabric that feels modern but not stiff, and a silhouette that reads elevated without being fussy. In other words, it's the rare kind of piece that could easily pass for something you'd see in a high-end catalog — just with a friendlier price tag. For over 200 years, the New York Post has been America's go-to source for bold news, engaging stories, in-depth reporting, and now, insightful shopping guidance. We're not just thorough reporters – we sift through mountains of information, test and compare products, and consult experts on any topics we aren't already schooled specialists in to deliver useful, realistic product recommendations based on our extensive and hands-on analysis.
