Best Amazon video doorbell deals
Blink mini: Was £24.99, now £15.99, Amazon.co.uk
Hailed as a “brilliant and affordable” starting point for home security cameras in our tried-and-tested review, the Blink mini is reduced by 36 per cent, thanks to this Prime Big Deal Days offer. The indoor camera was easy to set up via the Blink app, according to our tester, and had “all the essentials you’d want for an indoor camera, including two-way talk”. Plus, you can customise motion-detection zones to watch over specific areas, and have motion alerts sent to your smartphone so you’re always in the loop.
Ring video doorbell 3 plus ring chime: Was £189.98, now £139.99, Amazon.co.uk
Calling all home-owners, we have spied a solid saving that’s sure to spark some interest – there’s 26 per cent off Ring’s video doorbell 3. An upgrade from the original Ring video doorbell 2, the new model features improved motion detection, as well as a dual band wifi connectivity option (allowing for 2.4 or 5.0 GHz).
Blink video doorbell: Was £59.99, now £32.99, Amazon.co.uk
Dubbed the best budget video doorbell in our review, this model was praised for offering “great functionality at a lower price point”. Our writer added that: “Setup is easy, as is installation – the app takes you through both.” It was also found to be “less obtrusive than some others”. With this discount at Amazon, now is a great time to secure your home for less.
Best Amazon Echo smart speaker deals
Amazon Echo Show 5, 3rd gen smart display: Was £89.99, now £49.99, Amazon.co.uk
There’s 44 per cent off the Amazon Echo Show 5, which our tech writer, Alex Lee, hailed in his review as the best Amazon Echo for the bedroom. “The sound is leaps and bounds better than the previous model, with thumpier bass and louder volume”, he said. It’s also “neat to use as a digital photo frame”, he added, explaining that the new chipset makes it faster than ever.
Echo Dot, 5th generation: Was £54.99, now £22.99, Amazon.co.uk
Choosing between the Echo smart speakers is tricky, but if cheap and cheerful is the name of the game for you, it has to be the Echo Dot. This unmissable deal has seen the gadget plummet even lower in price, meaning it can now be yours for £23. “The Amazon Echo Dot is the baby in the Amazon Echo range”, our tester explained in their review, “but don’t be deceived by its diminutive, spherical and slightly squat size – this speaker Alexifies every room in your home on a budget, while still delivering decent sound and good smarts”.
Amazon Echo Pop: Was £44.99, now £19.99, Amazon.co.uk
Even without this massive 56 per cent discount, the Amazon Echo Pop smart speaker was hailed as “exceedingly good value” in our review. You can use it to play music, podcasts and radio, as well as answer questions, and “run Alexa routines and turn on smart home devices”, our tester explained. They also praised it for being “fast and responsive, thanks to the improved processor”, and “one of the cutest Amazon Echo devices [they had] ever laid eyes on”.
Amazon Echo Spot smart alarm clock: Was £79.99, now £44.99, Amazon.co.uk
Launched this July, the all-new Amazon Echo Spot is an Alexa-enabled smart alarm clock which features a 2.83in gradual light-up screen that shows the time, weather and music playing, as well as flashing up with neat animations in response to certain phrases. You can also choose your own clock face, tap the device to snooze your alarm and adjust playback as songs are playing. It currently has 44 per cent off for Prime members.
Best Amazon Kindle deals
Kindle scribe (64 GB): Was £409.99, now £309.99, Amazon.co.uk
The Kindle scribe comes with a stylus for creating notes in the margins of the page, which is pretty neat. “The scribe collects your notes together in one place”, our tester explained in their review, but “not all books can be written on, at least, not yet”. In terms of reading experience, they added that the big display means you can squeeze more words into a page, resulting in fewer page turns (or you can opt for bigger text). There’s no time like the present to invest in the swanky new ereader, as the price has been slashed to £309.99.
Best Amazon Fire TV deals
Amazon Fire TV stick 4K: Was £59.99, now £39.99, Amazon.co.uk
The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K has a third off in Amazon’s autumn sale, meaning you can snap one up for less than £40. This gadget allows you to watch all your favourite shows from various streaming services in higher-resolution than the standard version – hence the 4K in the name. It’s slightly pricier, but we think the crisper picture on offer makes it a worthy investment if you own a 4K television.
Fire TV 55in omni QLED series 4K UHD smart TV: Was £749.99, now £429.99, Amazon.co.uk
Boasting a vivid 4K viewing experience and vibrant, lifelike colours, the Omni range is Amazon’s own-brand of smart televisions and you can score an impressive saving of more than £300 on this 55in model. Invest in Amazon’s smart TV and you’ll be able to stream your favourite films and TV programmes to your heart’s content, with your subscription to Netflix and similar streaming platforms. Plus, you can even call on Alexa for hands-free TV. With such a huge discount for the taking, what are you waiting for?

Fire Max 11 tablet: Was £249.99, now £129, Amazon.co.uk
Reduced to almost half price this Prime Big Deal Days sale, the Fire Max 11 offers “exceptional value”, according to our review, where it was dubbed the best full-size budget tablet on test. It was hailed by our writer for being powerful and boasting a “bright and colourful” display and “very strong” battery life. What’s more, it features “a slicker, slimmer and more premium design than other Fire tablets”.
Echo Buds, 2nd generation: Was £129.99, now £44.99, Amazon.co.uk
If you’re after a pair of noise-cancelling earbuds and don’t want to pay over the odds for them, listen up. The Prime Big Deal Days sale has you covered, with this deal on the Echo Buds (2nd generation). Now reduced to less than £50, they’re said to be comfortable and water-resistant, while offering premium sound and fast charging for up to 15 hours of playback (with the charging case).
Audible: Was £7.99 per month, now 99p per month for three months, Amazon.co.uk
Audiobook subscription service Audible is currently just 99p per month for three months for Amazon Prime subscribers who’ve never had Audible before (or in the past 12 months). You can listen to thousands of select Audible Originals, podcasts, and audiobooks. Once your trial period comes to an end, an Audible subscription will cost £7.99 each month, which will pay for one audiobook (each month) as well as the above.
