It makes a lot of sense that for Prime Big Deal Days we’d see a ton of discounts on Amazon’s own products including the Echo and Alexa-enabled smart home gear. If you’ve been wanting to grab an Echo, now’s your chance. Currently, Amazon is offering up to 58% off Amazon devices and that spans the gamut from Kindle tablets and Echo speakers to batteries, smart bulbs, and more. But one in particular we wanted to call out was the current offer for the Amazon Echo Dot 5th Gen from 2022. Normally $50, it’s down 54% to $23 today. That saves you about $27 and it’s really just an incredible opportunity if you don’t already have an Echo or want a newer one.

Why shop this Amazon Echo Dot 5th Gen Prime Big Deal Days offer?

Let’s start with our thoughts. Expert Erin Lawrence gave the Echo Dot 5th Gen with a clock four and a half stars in our Digital Trends review. She praised it for its compact footprint, vastly improved sound quality over previous generations, added Wi-Fi features and more. But all you really need to know is that she loved her time with the device, and you probably will too.

Moreover, if you’re considering the Echo Spot vs. the Echo Dot, it really depends on where you plan to place the smart device. Almost always, the Echo Dot is the better option unless you need that small display.  The Prime Big Deal Days offer that drops over 50% off the Echo Dot 5th Gen really puts things into perspective, too. That’s a price you just cannot beat.

If you’ve never used an Echo before, you can ask Alexa for the weather, have the assistant order you new products on Amazon when you’re all out, like more paper towels, get local alerts, and much more. There’s also a dedicated mute button so you can turn the mic off when you don’t want her activating accidentally — like during a party.

Normally $50, the Echo Dot 5th Gen deal will save you about $27 or 54% off, which means you can get it today for just $23. That’s a hell of a deal even with Amazon’s excellent prices for Prime Big Deal Days.

iRobot’s new Roomba concept uses a piggybacking sidekick to reach tight spaces

Robot vacuums have long forced buyers to choose between cleaning power and clearance. Heavy-duty wet-dry models pack enough scrubbing force to tackle stubborn, sticky messes, but their bulky frames often can't squeeze under low furniture. Slim robot vacuums can glide beneath sofas and beds, but they typically lack the muscle to do much more than sweep up light dust. iRobot's new Roomba Duo concept, unveiled at IFA 2026 in Berlin, aims to solve this problem with an unconventional approach that involves deploying two specialized robots to work as a team.

From Smarter Entry to Screen-Free Wellness, These IFA 2026 Winners Do Things Differently
IFA 2026 Publisher Awards

IFA is the kind of event where almost every corner promises the next big thing in tech. Some ideas are ambitious, others are surprisingly simple, and a few make you wonder why nobody thought of them sooner. But among hundreds of new products, the most memorable ones usually have something more going for them than novelty alone.

This year’s IFA Publisher Award winners are a good example. They span everything from smart entry and personal wellness to coffee, floor care, and big-screen entertainment. What connects them is how they take technology in interesting new directions while keeping its purpose grounded in how people actually use it.

It looks like Apple has plans to make a splashy entrance in the smart home and security segment. Back in 2024, industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo wrote that Apple was prepping its foray into the smart home IP camera market. A year later, Bloomberg reported that Apple had started work on a home security camera code-named J450. Now, the outlet reports that the company will also launch a home security service to go with its camera, something all major players in the domain currently offer. 

“Apple is planning a privacy-centric home security camera and automation device that will use AI to monitor the surrounding environment instead of actual video footage. It will tap into a new home security and monitoring service,” says a new report by Bloomberg.
