Prime Day deals on Amazon devices

It should come as no surprise that Amazon offers great deals on its own devices during Prime Day. Whether you’re looking for a new Kindle Paperwhite, an Echo smart speaker to talk to during the day, or a smart display that can double as an alarm clock or a sous chef, you can now find it for less from Amazon. Here are the best deals we’ve found on Amazon devices:

Kindle deals

Deal price: $85; street price: $130

Deal price: $1; street price: $32

Echo Auto deals

You may have seen a deal elsewhere on the Echo Auto, but we won’t post it. The Echo Auto offers a way to add Alexa to your vehicle. Discounted to $20 for Prime Day, it claims to allow you to use your voice to play music, check the news, make calls, add to your to-do list, or manage your calendar. We don’t recommend the Echo Auto, though. As Wirecutter senior editor Grant Clauser notes, “It’s an interesting concept, and is nice when it works, but it frequently doesn’t.”

Blink Mini indoor camera

The Blink Mini is Amazon’s new security camera, and as part of a Prime Day deal, it can be added to an Echo Show 5 purchase for $5 extra. Compact and light, this small indoor security camera (which sells for $25 on its own) promises motion detection, night vision, and Alexa capabilities. Wirecutter does not recommend the Blink Mini for a few reasons, the biggest being its tendency to overlook motion, along with its recording limitations. “It missed some events completely during testing and limits recordings to 30 seconds, with 10-second gaps in between captured clips,” says Rachel Cericola, senior staff writer for smart home. “And while that may not seem like a lot, it means every time there’s 90 seconds of movement, you’re missing a third of that.”

Blink Mini cameras purchased now come with a free trial of the Blink cloud storage subscription through the end of December 2020—but once the year is over, you’ll be required to subscribe to the monthly service if you want the camera to make and save recordings, and Rachel says there are far better options for that (which we recommend).

Kitchen deals

We’ll see deals on small kitchen appliances, including favorites from OXO and Instant Pot. Historically, the Instant Pot has been one of the star deals of Prime Day—we’ve seen deals that have taken it to as much as 50% off. Expect to see deals on coffee makers, as well, with our top pick, the OXO Brew 9 Cup Coffee Maker, likely to be well discounted. One caveat: Small kitchen appliance deals are trickier this year than on previous Prime Days, as the coronavirus pandemic has driven tremendous demand for some sought-after products and brands. Since March, for example, we haven’t seen the KitchenAid stand mixer deals we usually see with some regularity, and that’s largely true of our best blender picks, like the Vitamix 5200 blender, as well.

Apple deals

In the past few years, Prime members have also been able to nab deals on select Apple products. We expect to see discounts on the Apple Watch Series 5 if it remains available after the recent release of the Series 6 and Apple Watch SE, but keep an eye on our Apple Watch review, as the SE might be a better option (pending testing) for anyone who doesn’t need the ECG feature. The 8th-generation iPad has been just recently released, if you want the latest and greatest, and while we may not see huge discounts, initial discounts may appear. The 3rd-generation iPad Air may be worth your while if it’s cheap enough, as it too got a September refresh, and the 4th-generation version is now available. We also expect to see MacBook Air and Pro models discounted to match previous sale prices in 2020. The previous-generation iPad Pro could be discounted, too; our resident Apple expert, senior staff writer Nick Guy, says that tablet is still a great value if the price is right.

Will the release of the Apple iPhone 12 affect Prime Day deals?

Apple has a product announcement event on October 13, the first day of Amazon Prime Day. It’s widely expected that the company will announce the iPhone 12 lineup that day, though the availability dates are still unknown. For now, the Deals team suspects that the timing of this release might mean that some deals on the iPhone 11 (our current top pick) are in the offing—though they may be gift card or BOGO deals rather than price drops. You’ll probably want to pass if you’re an Apple aficionado with eyes for the latest and greatest tech, but if you want to save a few bucks on an iPhone that our guide writers love, this could be a good time to pick one up.

Vacuum deals

Vacuums are almost certain to see great prices during Prime Day, but some vacuum types in particular (robot vacuums from Eufy and Roomba and cordless stick vacuums from Dyson) have historically had the best Prime Day deals. Last Prime Day, we saw the Eufy Robovac 11S, our budget pick among robot vacuums, drop all the way to $150. Shoppers will have a variety of options to choose from, as we expect multiple robot vacuums and cordless stick vacuums to be heavily discounted. For the best deals, keep an eye on all retailers, not just Amazon—vacuums at Walmart, especially Dyson vacuum refurbs and Roombas, typically see good discounts, too.

Upright and canister vacuum sales are also a possibility, as we usually see at least one worthwhile Prime Day discount on our top pick from Shark. Even handheld vacuums have been the subject of Prime Day deals in previous years, so we’re likely to see vacuum discounts for every vacuum category Wirecutter covers.

Headphone deals

This year’s Prime Day will almost certainly offer deals on all our noise-cancelling headphones picks, whether you’re looking for over-ear headphones or our favorite earbuds. We have a feeling we’ll see the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700, our top pick, sell for $300 or less, and the Anker Soundcore Life Q20, our budget pick, for $40 or less; we’re pretty sure the 1More Dual Driver ANC Pro, our top noise-cancelling earbuds pick, will drop to $110, and the Jabra Elite 85h is likely to fall to less than $200.

Video game deals

When it comes to PlayStation and Xbox, the deals will essentially be for the last-gen consoles due to the impending release of the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X. If you’re okay with last-gen technology, however, you’ll enjoy the best pricing we’ve ever seen for the older consoles, but if you’re going in that direction we recommend that you grab only the standard PS4 or the Xbox One S, as you would overpay for the PS4 Pro or Xbox One X. Note that PS4 controllers won’t work on PS5 games, though Microsoft claims that all Xbox accessories save Kinect will be compatible with the Series X and Series S.

Nintendo Switch Deals

The Nintendo Switch hasn’t had any deals at all since very early in 2020, and we don’t expect to see any deals on that console during Prime Day. In fact, since March it has been rare to find the slightly refreshed new Switch model (which offers longer battery life) available even at full price. Deals on the Nintendo Switch Lite are slightly more likely, as inventory of that model is more steady. We will, however, likely see deals on recommended Nintendo Switch accessories such as the Switch Pro controller or charging accessories.

The PS5, Sony’s latest PlayStation console, is set to be released on November 12. We haven’t found any preorder deals for the PS5 (and you can’t preorder the new console through the PlayStation Amazon store, either), but we’ll keep our eyes peeled for any discounts or promotions.

TV deals

Amazon Prime Day has historically offered deals on budget and ultra-budget TV models (that Wirecutter doesn’t recommend) equipped with Amazon’s own Fire TV interface, but in recent years we’ve seen more variety in the types of TV deals available. For instance, the newest TCL 6-Series line, our new top LCD/LED pick, could see some discounts, but Amazon Prime Day TV deals on Sony TVs are less likely, so new picks such as the Sony X950H (for those seeking a wider viewing angle) will probably stay at full price. Finally, in 2019, we noted Amazon Prime TV deals that included bonus gift cards for our OLED pick, and we hope to see similar deals for the newer LG CX, which will almost certainly be our new OLED TV pick.

Laptop deals

Historically, we haven’t often seen great deals on laptops or computers during Prime Day, and we expect that to hold true this year, too. We’ve seen small deals on MacBook Pro laptops and some configurations of the MacBook Air recently, and those will likely stick around through the duration of Prime Day. We don’t expect to see too many deals from Amazon on Windows ultrabooks, either, but that won’t stop us from keeping an eye on other retailers. The best Prime Day laptop deals we’ll see this year—if any crop up—will likely be on Lenovo-branded laptops, either through Lenovo itself or through Best Buy.

In past years, we’ve seen a few good Amazon Prime Day computer monitor deals, but because of the pandemic, those too have been in short supply. Though we’re starting to see a few monitor deals surface again, they’re usually on our budget or upgrade picks rather than our top or runner-up picks (which are still out of stock). In the run-up to Prime Day, we’ve also seen a few price drops on variations of our top mini PC pick, the HP Prodesk 600 G5.

Baby and kid deals

Prime Day features a number of deals for kids things, some of which are Wirecutter picks. Notably, we expect the sale event to include some STEM toys we recommend in addition to bath, beach, and sandbox toys from Green Toys made from recycled materials. Gear for those who care for younger kids could well have deals, too, with baby carriers, strollers, and car seats often available at a discount.

Fitness deals

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to impact gymgoers, quality home fitness equipment continues to experience high demand, which means it’s unlikely we’ll see deals in this category. Wirecutter’s top adjustable dumbbell pick, the Core Home Fitness Adjustable Dumbbell Set, has been sold out at reliable sources for months. Even large and expensive fitness gear like our treadmill picks and the Peloton bike are experiencing stock issues and shipping delays as shoppers attempt to duplicate their gym experience at home. At this point, we’d be happy to see many of our fitness picks in stock at all, and we’ll do our best to highlight these items if they become available.

Prime Day deals on Amazon devices

It should come as no surprise that Amazon offers great deals on its own devices during Prime Day. Whether you’re looking for a new Kindle Paperwhite, an Echo smart speaker to talk to during the day, or a smart display that can double as an alarm clock or a sous chef, you can now find it for less from Amazon. Here are the best deals we’ve found on Amazon devices:

Echo Auto deals

You may have seen a deal elsewhere on the Echo Auto, but we won’t post it. The Echo Auto offers a way to add Alexa to your vehicle. Discounted to $20 for Prime Day, it claims to allow you to use your voice to play music, check the news, make calls, add to your to-do list, or manage your calendar. We don’t recommend the Echo Auto, though. As Wirecutter senior editor Grant Clauser notes, “It’s an interesting concept, and is nice when it works, but it frequently doesn’t.”

Blink Mini indoor camera

The Blink Mini is Amazon’s new security camera, and as part of a Prime Day deal, it can be added to an Echo Show 5 purchase for $5 extra. Compact and light, this small indoor security camera (which sells for $25 on its own) promises motion detection, night vision, and Alexa capabilities. Wirecutter does not recommend the Blink Mini for a few reasons, the biggest being its tendency to overlook motion, along with its recording limitations. “It missed some events completely during testing and limits recordings to 30 seconds, with 10-second gaps in between captured clips,” says Rachel Cericola, senior staff writer for smart home. “And while that may not seem like a lot, it means every time there’s 90 seconds of movement, you’re missing a third of that.”

Blink Mini cameras purchased now come with a free trial of the Blink cloud storage subscription through the end of December 2020—but once the year is over, you’ll be required to subscribe to the monthly service if you want the camera to make and save recordings, and Rachel says there are far better options for that (which we recommend).

Kitchen deals

We’ll see deals on small kitchen appliances, including favorites from OXO and Instant Pot. Historically, the Instant Pot has been one of the star deals of Prime Day—we’ve seen deals that have taken it to as much as 50% off. Expect to see deals on coffee makers, as well, with our top pick, the OXO Brew 9 Cup Coffee Maker, likely to be well discounted. One caveat: Small kitchen appliance deals are trickier this year than on previous Prime Days, as the coronavirus pandemic has driven tremendous demand for some sought-after products and brands. Since March, for example, we haven’t seen the KitchenAid stand mixer deals we usually see with some regularity, and that’s largely true of our best blender picks, like the Vitamix 5200 blender, as well.

Apple deals

In the past few years, Prime members have also been able to nab deals on select Apple products. We expect to see discounts on the Apple Watch Series 5 if it remains available after the recent release of the Series 6 and Apple Watch SE, but keep an eye on our Apple Watch review, as the SE might be a better option (pending testing) for anyone who doesn’t need the ECG feature. The 8th-generation iPad has been just recently released, if you want the latest and greatest, and while we may not see huge discounts, initial discounts may appear. The 3rd-generation iPad Air may be worth your while if it’s cheap enough, as it too got a September refresh, and the 4th-generation version is now available. We also expect to see MacBook Air and Pro models discounted to match previous sale prices in 2020. The previous-generation iPad Pro could be discounted, too; our resident Apple expert, senior staff writer Nick Guy, says that tablet is still a great value if the price is right.

Vacuum deals

Vacuums are almost certain to see great prices during Prime Day, but some vacuum types in particular (robot vacuums from Eufy and Roomba and cordless stick vacuums from Dyson) have historically had the best Prime Day deals. Last Prime Day, we saw the Eufy Robovac 11S, our budget pick among robot vacuums, drop all the way to $150. Shoppers will have a variety of options to choose from, as we expect multiple robot vacuums and cordless stick vacuums to be heavily discounted. For the best deals, keep an eye on all retailers, not just Amazon—vacuums at Walmart, especially Dyson vacuum refurbs and Roombas, typically see good discounts, too.

Upright and canister vacuum sales are also a possibility, as we usually see at least one worthwhile Prime Day discount on our top pick from Shark. Even handheld vacuums have been the subject of Prime Day deals in previous years, so we’re likely to see vacuum discounts for every vacuum category Wirecutter covers.

Headphone deals

This year’s Prime Day will almost certainly offer deals on all our noise-cancelling headphones picks, whether you’re looking for over-ear headphones or our favorite earbuds. We have a feeling we’ll see the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700, our top pick, sell for $300 or less, and the Anker Soundcore Life Q20, our budget pick, for $40 or less; we’re pretty sure the 1More Dual Driver ANC Pro, our top noise-cancelling earbuds pick, will drop to $110, and the Jabra Elite 85h is likely to fall to less than $200.

Video game deals

When it comes to PlayStation and Xbox, the deals will essentially be for the last-gen consoles due to the impending release of the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X. If you’re okay with last-gen technology, however, you’ll enjoy the best pricing we’ve ever seen for the older consoles, but if you’re going in that direction we recommend that you grab only the standard PS4 or the Xbox One S, as you would overpay for the PS4 Pro or Xbox One X. Note that PS4 controllers won’t work on PS5 games, though Microsoft claims that all Xbox accessories save Kinect will be compatible with the Series X and Series S.

Nintendo Switch Deals

The Nintendo Switch hasn’t had any deals at all since very early in 2020, and we don’t expect to see any deals on that console during Prime Day. In fact, since March it has been rare to find the slightly refreshed new Switch model (which offers longer battery life) available even at full price. Deals on the Nintendo Switch Lite are slightly more likely, as inventory of that model is more steady. We will, however, likely see deals on recommended Nintendo Switch accessories such as the Switch Pro controller or charging accessories.

TV deals

Amazon Prime Day has historically offered deals on budget and ultra-budget TV models (that Wirecutter doesn’t recommend) equipped with Amazon’s own Fire TV interface, but in recent years we’ve seen more variety in the types of TV deals available. For instance, the newest TCL 6-Series line, our new top LCD/LED pick, could see some discounts, but Amazon Prime Day TV deals on Sony TVs are less likely, so new picks such as the Sony X950H (for those seeking a wider viewing angle) will probably stay at full price. Finally, in 2019, we noted Amazon Prime TV deals that included bonus gift cards for our OLED pick, and we hope to see similar deals for the newer LG CX, which will almost certainly be our new OLED TV pick.

Laptop deals

Historically, we haven’t often seen great deals on laptops or computers during Prime Day, and we expect that to hold true this year, too. We’ve seen small deals on MacBook Pro laptops and some configurations of the MacBook Air recently, and those will likely stick around through the duration of Prime Day. We don’t expect to see too many deals from Amazon on Windows ultrabooks, either, but that won’t stop us from keeping an eye on other retailers. The best Prime Day laptop deals we’ll see this year—if any crop up—will likely be on Lenovo-branded laptops, either through Lenovo itself or through Best Buy.

In past years, we’ve seen a few good Amazon Prime Day computer monitor deals, but because of the pandemic, those too have been in short supply. Though we’re starting to see a few monitor deals surface again, they’re usually on our budget or upgrade picks rather than our top or runner-up picks (which are still out of stock). In the run-up to Prime Day, we’ve also seen a few price drops on variations of our top mini PC pick, the HP Prodesk 600 G5.

Baby and kid deals

Prime Day features a number of deals for kids things, some of which are Wirecutter picks. Notably, we expect the sale event to include some STEM toys we recommend in addition to bath, beach, and sandbox toys from Green Toys made from recycled materials. Gear for those who care for younger kids could well have deals, too, with baby carriers, strollers, and car seats often available at a discount.

Fitness deals

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to impact gymgoers, quality home fitness equipment continues to experience high demand, which means it’s unlikely we’ll see deals in this category. top adjustable dumbbell pick, the Core Home Fitness Adjustable Dumbbell Set, has been sold out at reliable sources for months. Even large and expensive fitness gear like our treadmill picks and the Peloton bike are experiencing stock issues and shipping delays as shoppers attempt to duplicate their gym experience at home. At this point, we’d be happy to see many of our fitness picks in stock at all, and we’ll do our best to highlight these items if they become available.
