From smart speakers to e-readers and voice-controlled devices, Amazon has dozens of models that are dominating the main-stream market. And mostly for good reason.
If you’re trying to decide which smart device works for you and your home, then we have highlighted some of the best Amazon devices currently on sale on the mega-site now that are worth taking advantage of.
This week, you can take advantage of top-tech savings including 54 per cent off the Echo Plus, the Kindle Paperwhite for under £100 and the hugely popular Echo Dot for only £29.99.
Whether you’re looking to raise your home’s IQ with the help of Alexa or simply looking for a good way to surf the web and watch your favourite shows, then there is plenty of choice out there. Here are five of the best device deals on Amazon.
Echo Dot (3rd Gen), £29.99 (was £49.99)
If you’re looking for an entry point into Amazon’s at-home smart devices, then it might be worth looking into the Echo Dot.
The 3rd Generation Echo Dot is Amazon’s most popular smart speaker. The voice-controlled smart speaker with Alexa can be added to any room in your home- connect to the wifi with the Alexa App on your smartphone.
You can use the device to play your favourite songs from places like Amazon Music, Apple Music and Spotify, ask Alexa for news, information and to set timers. Another pro is you can use the device to control your smart home, turning on lights, adjusting thermostats, lock doors and more, with compatible connected devices.
With a staggering 178,691 reviews on Amazon and an average star rating of 4.7 out of 5, the Echo Dot is a hugely popular buy, and now at under £30, it’s at a seriously competitive price point.
Echo Plus (2nd Gen), £64.99 (was £139.99)
If you loved the features of the Amazon Echo Dot but weren’t bowled over by the sound quality, then the Echo Plus might be a better choice for you.
Not only has the Plus been given a new look compared to earlier versions, but it provides far superior sound quality. Equipped with a premium speaker, the Echo Plus is powered with Dolby Processing, which gives a powerful 360° sound for high-quality audio.
Use your voice to ask for music from Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify and others, and play music across compatible Echo devices throughout your home. You can also listen to Audible, radio stations and more.
If you’ve got ZigBee-supported smart home tech, then the Echo Plus can take control over these too.
The smart-home hub is currently better-than-half-price on Amazon, making it a very reasonable £64.99- that’s a hefty £75 off. If you’re looking for a smart home hub that’s also an impressive speaker, then it will be hard to beat this one on price.
Kindle Paperwhite, £99.99 (was £119.99)
With over 16,000 reviews on Amazon for the Kindle Paperwhite, many devoted readers have made the switch from the Kindle to the latest generation model.
There are plenty of new features that make the device worth the upgrade. The thinnest model yet, it’s even easier to hold and carry, it has twice the storage with 8G and a single battery charge now lasts weeks, not hours.
What’s more, is you can now safely read the book in the bath thanks to the waterproof feature and in bed with the light off thanks to the clever backlight that illuminates the screen.
With over 5.5 million books available, including latest bestsellers and Kindle exclusives, you’ll never run out of things to read, and you can also pair it with Audible making commutes and car journeys even better.
Amazon shoppers can now get the Kindle Paperwhite for £99.99- that’s a saving of 17 per cent, not too bad considering it’s the number one bestseller for ebooks on the mega-site.
Echo Flex, £19.99 (was £24.99)
The Echo Flex is a budget-friendly way to increase the reach of the Echo to multiple rooms in your home.
Expanding your smart home’s reach, the plug-in Echo device allows you to get help from Alexa wherever you have a socket. While this one doesn’t play music, you can use your voice to get instant information like the weather or traffic updates and even to set reminders or to send voice messages to every room with a supported Echo device.
It’s small so is unobtrusive – great for keeping in areas with not a lot of space and, at only £19.99 in the sale, is a cheap way to make Amazon’s Alexa service go further in your home.
Ring Video Doorbell Pro, £179 (was £229)
The Ring Video Doorbell Pro allows you to take home security into your own hands.
If you’ve toyed with the idea about investing in smart security for your home, then it might be wise to take advantage of this Amazon deal as you can now save £50 on the Ring Video Doorbell Pro- certainly nothing to be sniffed at.
Acting a bit like a portable intercom, the Ring Video Doorbell Pro allows you to answer the door from anywhere and watch over your home in 1080p HD video. You will also get mobile alerts when anyone comes to your door, so you can see, hear and speak to visitors from your phone, tablet or PC.
One happy customer wrote: ‘Really good addition to any house that likes increased security using modern tech. Pleased I went for the more expensive wired version as more reliable and less of a concern over battery fade. So far it’s been very good, and we’ve had a few conversations with delivery people that have saved deferred deliveries.’
