With $10 off, this Amazon Smart Plug just became even more essential to your smart home. Plug it into a wall socket and you immediately add voice control and smart home functionality to any device you attach to it. You can use it to schedule lights, fans, and appliances to turn them on and off when needed, or you can control them remotely while away. It all takes seconds to set up via the Alexa app and a compact design means it won’t get in the way of any adjoining sockets. It’s a great way of making your home smarter and saving you money on your electricity bill.
For just $15, you can add Alexa support to your car within moments. The Amazon Echo Auto is able to stream from Audible, Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, and much more, all via the power of your voice, meaning you can keep your hands on the steering wheel. Besides streaming music, you can ask Alexa questions such as what the weather is like, what news is out there, and you can even use it to make calls. Eight microphones and far-field technology means Echo Auto can always hear you over music, A/C, and road noise, so you’re in control at all times. It’s a great way to make your car smarter and more enjoyable.
With a chunky discount, deciding between the Echo Show 5 (1st Gen) or Echo Show 5 (2nd Gen) just got a little easier. The smart display offers a 5.5-inch screen to help you manage your day as well as entertain you, too. You can ask Alexa to show you movie trailers or TV shows, but you can also get her to assist you while you cook thanks to step-by-step recipes. It’s also possible to use the Amazon Echo Show 5 to update your to-do lists and calendars, as well as call friends and family via video calling. It’s a great device for all manner of different things and is sure to revolutionize how you get stuff done.
If you want to take Alexa with you on your daily run or workout, the Amazon Echo Buds (2nd Gen) are the ones for you. We called them better and cheaper than AirPods in our Amazon Echo Buds review thanks to their excellent sound quality, effective noise reduction, and that all-important Alexa support. With up to 5 hours of music playback per charge and up to 15 hours with the charging case, they’re super convenient, too. It gets even better when you consider a quick 15-minute charge provides you with 2 hours of music playback. Besides Alexa support, they’re also compatible with Siri and Google Assistant.
This Toshiba 55-inch 4K TV might not feature in our look at the best 4K TVs but it’s an absolute bargain. Besides 4K and Dolby Vision support, you can speak to this TV via Alexa support, asking it to change channels, search for titles, or even control your smart home devices. With support for pretty much every streaming service you can think of, you won’t run out of options here, with the Fire TV capabilities seamlessly integrating live over-the-air TV with streaming channels, all on a unified home screen. Three HDMI ports allow you to plug all the devices you need into the TV, too, which is very convenient. It’s a great TV for the price.
Hurry! The 10.2-inch iPad has a $100 discount pre-Prime Day
Ahead of the core Prime Day deals season next week, all major retailers are launching some great early discounts. Right now, Best Buy has the pick of the early Prime Day iPad deals with $100 off the Apple iPad 10.2-inch 9th generation. It usually costs $330, but right now it’s down to $230, which is a fantastic price for a still highly relevant tablet. If you’re keen to learn more, keep reading and we’ll take you through exactly why this iPad could be the one for you.
Why you should buy the Apple iPad 10.2
Still considered to be one of the best iPads for anyone on a budget, the Apple iPad 10.2 continues to offer great performance at an even more affordable price. In our Apple iPad 10.2 review, we cited how much we loved its great battery life, powerful internals, and amazing software support. It still has a lightning port, which feels increasingly dated with the rise of USB-C, and the display could be brighter, but those are all reasonable trade-offs in this price range.
Update 10/3/24: There are small but interesting developments going on. For example, the old Apple AirPods 2 lost their deal with Amazon but Walmart still has it. Meanwhile, deals from major retailers on the AirPods 4 with ANC have completely disappeared. We'll update this when deals are back online... if they come back online. In the meantime, consider getting the AirPods 4 at a discount while it is still available.
