Prepare to get excited: This year there are two Prime Days! The original Prime Day 2022 was in July, but Amazon sprung a second big sale, the Prime Early Access Sale, aka Prime Day October 2022. You’ll find Prime Day Early Access Sale deals galore during this two-day sale, October 11 and 12. If you’re in the market for a video doorbell, we’ve got the deal for you. The Arlo Essential Video Doorbell would normally cost you $200, but with this Arlo video doorbell Prime Day deal, you’re getting it for just $158, a $42 savings — think what other deals you could snap up with those savings!

Why you should buy this Arlo video doorbell

The Arlo Essential Wireless Video Doorbell is one of the best video doorbells on the market, and an excellent alternative if you don’t want to go with a Ring video doorbell. Arlo is probably best known for its security cameras like the Arlo Pro 4, so it has a solid history in the smart home security space.

One of the best things about this Arlo video doorbell Prime Day deal is that this wire-free doorbell is easy to install; you can do it yourself with a screwdriver or drill. It has a 6,500mAh rechargeable battery that promises to last up to six months on a single charge, and no hub is needed as the doorbell connects directly to your Wi-Fi with a wide, 180-degree field of view that lets you see people at your door head to toe or packages on the ground.

The Arlo Essential Wireless Video Doorbell comes in black or white, and under the hood, it’s packed with features. The camera can detect everything from people to vehicles, animals, package delivery, and motion, with a 1536 x 1536 resolution video feed that lets you see details even in low light or bright sunny conditions, plus a night sensor.

Once motion is detected, the camera starts recording even before anyone tries to ring the doorbell thanks to Arlo Foresight, sending a notification to your phone so you can hear and speak to visitors with clear, two-way audio, or send a pre-recorded quick reply if you’re busy. Should an intruder show up at your door, the doorbell can notify emergency services and play an ear-piercing siren, while if you’re away on vacation and a package arrives, it can dial a pre-set contact.

Certified to withstand temperatures from -4 degrees to 113 degrees Fahrenheit, the Arlo Essential Wireless Video Doorbell can also weather wind and rain. When it comes to connectivity, it connects seamlessly to Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Samsung SmartThings, as well as the free comprehensive app. The app itself is packed with all the usual options such as notification configurations and security zones, as well as a handy Silent Mode that bypasses the doorbell’s physical chime and app notifications — great if you have little ones napping.

With this Arlo video doorbell Prime Day deal, you also get a one-year limited warranty — and if your battery dies over time you can pick up a replacement for around $50. You can also pick up the Arlo base station or Smarthub (sold separately) to store videos securely and view them anytime, anywhere.

The 2-day Amazon Prime Early Access Sale is a bonus for 2022, so don’t hesitate to take advantage of this great deal on the Arlo Essential Wireless Video Doorbell. Save $48 off the normal $200 list price and snap up this deal for just $158 today.

Save 20% on this smart power strip in the Prime Early Access Sale
Basics Smart Plug Power Strip on tabletop charging with watch, echo, and lamp

If you've taken part in the Prime Early Access Sale, you've probably grabbed a lot of expensive electronics, albeit at great deals. Well, many folks often forget to think about things such as surge protection and smart control of their devices, which is where smart power strips, like this one from Amazon Basics, play a helpful hand. In fact, given that it's only going for a discounted $22 rather than $27, it's worth grabbing a few from Amazon.

Why you should buy the Amazon Basics Smart Plug Power Strip
If you want to add more granular smart control to your appliances and electronics without having to buy smart plugs for the wall, a smart plug power strip is a pretty innovative alternative. Since this is an Amazon Basics device, it connects with the Alexa app or any Alexa-capable device and allows you to control the power strip as a whole or individually. That means you can switch off plugs one, two, or three by naming them separately or saying, "Turn off power strip," to have all the plugs turn off. The strip also has two USB Type-As for charging, although you can't control them through the app since they're always on.

Save $200 with this robot vacuum deal in the October Prime Day sale
Eufy RoboVac X8 robot vacuum cleaner on grey floor.

If you've always wanted a robot vacuum, but the price has scared you away, the Prime Early Access Sale is your chance, and the Eufy by Anker RoboVac X8 is your vacuum. The RoboVac X8 is a cheaper alternative to a Roomba, and still pretty powerful. Even better, you can pick it up relatively cheaply from Amazon for $300, a whopping 40% off the usual $500 list price.

Why you should buy the Eufy by Anker RoboVac X8
What's great about the Eufy RoboVac X8 is that it comes with twin turbines, giving it much more suction than the average robot vacuum and allowing it to pick up debris that would otherwise have been too heavy. In a similar vein, it's pretty great for those with long hair or who have pets, as it can easily pick them all up, leaving your floor clean of the typical mess of hair you might find. Of course, it is slightly on the bulkier side, which is to be expected given that it has two turbines and long battery life, which can do a full clean of a 1,300-square-foot apartment without any charging, which makes it a great Prime Day deal if you're looking for a long-lasting robot vacuum.
