Best Prime Day Tech deals below $25
Amazon Fire TV Stick HD price is $18 (Prime $17 off): We named it the best budget streaming stick in our list of the best streaming devices. It’s easy to set up so you can access all the major streaming platforms. Note that it only streams content at 1080p, not 4K, and the UI is heavier than competing streaming.
Apple Airtag costs $23 ($40% off): This is our choice for providing Bluetooth tracker for iPhone users. These small discs have the most accurate lookup capability of any FOB we’ve tested, thanks to Apple’s vast Find My network that lashes out all nearby iPhones to track down your missing items. They might be louder and the holes would be nice, but nothing is more accurate than it is.
Samsung Fit plus 56GB flash drive for $23 ($12 off): We named it the best thumb drive in the best SSD guide. It has a sleek design, a five-year warranty, and has a USB 3.1 connection. The keychain even has a small attachment point so you can carry an extra storage drive with you.
Thermacell E55 charges the insect repellent for $25 ($10% off): The mosquito went nothing. Even where these evil vampires were not in the past, they are now surpassed. If you want some reprieve from your bite, here are the dewormers we recommend in our outdoor technical guide.
TP-Link AC1200 WiFi Extender for $20 ($10 discount): If your home has some dead spots in its internet coverage and isn’t ready for grid setup, a Wi-Fi extender can help. This is our favorite budget option in these plugin device guides, and it’s its simple setup and user-friendly app.
Amazon Echo Pop is $22 ($18 for Prime): The smallest (cheapest) echo speaker is ideal for small apartments or rooms. In addition to the standard black and white color scheme, the hemisphere design also has purple and blue green. It was priced as low as $18 in past Prime Day sales.
Anker Nano USB-C Charger Block, priced at $16 ($40% off): Do you remember that when small bricks like this were all maximized with the taste of grains? This tiny but powerful cube is the best cheap fast charger in our fast charger guide, which outputs a lot of 30 watts, plus the prongs fold to make it even more teenager.
SoundCore chooses 4 GO Bluetooth speakers for $22 (Prime $13 off):One of the latest additions to our guide to the best Bluetooth speakers is Lil Guy from Soundcore (Anker). We found it to have decent sound quality and is large enough to fill a standard size living room. Prices used to be as low as $20.
Amazon Smart Plug costs $13 (Prime $12 off): This plug and Alexa Echo device make a perfect smart home starter kit (and Prime Day also has many Echos). Snap it into your exit and Alexa should automatically detect it (if not, some faucets in the Alexa application should connect it). You can then use it by asking the assistant to control any lights, fans, or other simple device inserted into it.
Blink Mini 2 security camera for $20 (Prime $20 off): Our choice of choosing the best budget security camera is more friendly. We appreciate the ease of setup and excellent integration with Alexa devices such as Echo speakers and monitors. It requires subscribers to detect and cloud storage, and image quality is not the best.
Best Prime Day Tech Deals $35
Amazon Echo Point is $32 ($18 off for Prime): Amazon seems to be waiting for Prime Day sales to offer huge discounts to its smart speakers. We see smaller sales throughout the year, but not that steep (although sales in the past are as low as $23). So if you want to bring Alexa’s pepper fun to your home, this is a great time to do so. This point is our favorite smart speaker under $50.
Amazon Echo Dot Kids and Alexa are priced at $32 (Prime $28 off): The kids version of Amazon Smart Speaker is the same hardware, but with a kids-themed cover (OWL or Dragon), it comes with a year-long subscription to Amazon Kids+, and comes with audiobooks, gaming and educational Alexa skills.
Blink video doorbell for $30 (Prime $30 off): If you already use Alexa at home and want a compatible video doorbell, you may want to check out this deal. Note that you need the blink subscription and blink synchronization module to store clips and access other features. You can connect it to an existing doorbell cable, or use it wirelessly and use it with two AA batteries that last two years.
Best Prime Day Tech Deals $50
Hyperx Cloud Stinger 2 Gaming Headsets for $36 ($14 off): In our gaming headset guide, we ultimately recommend you to chat with an external microphone along with a good pair of wired headsets. But if you really want two in one, Cloud Stinger 2 is our budget gaming headset choice.
Razer Basilisk V3 Gaming Mouse Price $40 ($30 Discount): Some people prefer wired connections when playing games. Razer’s Basilisk V3 is the highest budget choice for wired mice in our gaming mouse guide. It’s comfortable, good, accurate and has good value – especially in the case of a Golden Day discount.
Amazon Echo is priced at $45 (Prime $35 off): Last year, the live speaker’s design was slightly different from the original one. Now the monitor is a semicircle of the clock circle surface, which shows you the weather, time, and song title. The speaker itself brings you everything Alexa can do, like setting up a timer, adding stuff to the grocery list and answering questions about the weather.
Leebin Electric Spin Scrubber costs $40 (43% off): This is a favorite thing that deputy editor Valentina Palladino bought last year because it makes the necessary trivia to clean the shower less painful. This is an electric spin scrubber with multiple cleaning heads, so you can use it on countertops, sinks, bathtubs, showers, etc. It also has adjustable arms so you can reach tough attractions in hard-to-reach places and can be easily charged via USB-C.
Amazon Echo Buds with Active Noise at $45 (Prime $95 off): These buds are a little old at this point because they come out in 2021, but the 68% discount may be convincing. In our comments, we say buds have improved a lot in the previous generation. They are more comfortable and have better sound quality. Plus, Alexa integration makes them a great choice for those who are all out on the Amazon ecosystem.
Annular tilt indoor cam for $40 (Prime $40 off): This indoor security camera can rotate 360 degrees and has a tilt range of 169 degrees, so you can keep labels for pets and other events at home. It allows you to enjoy the scene view from your phone and supports two-way conversations to tell your puppy to get under the sofa.
Ugreen Revodok Pro 109 USB-C HUB for $39 ($16 off): The preferred port in our guide to the best USB-C hub has good ports, including an HDMI 2.0 connection that supports a 60Hz 4K display, three additional USB-A ports, Ethernet, and a USB-C (a separate power supply to provide 90W of power to your device. The hub has $30 sales.
