Amazon Weekend Sale - 17 best deals
Fire TV Stick 4K Max:was $59.99 now$39.99 at AmazonThis is a return to the lowest price we’ve seen for the newest version of Amazon’s premium streaming device. The Fire TV Stick 4K Max streams all of the same content in the same ultra-high definition quality as the standard 4K version, but the extra power inside means faster and smoother performance when navigating apps. Plus, it uses WiFi 6E technology to give you a more stable and consistent streaming experience – if you have a compatible router. A worthwhile upgrade, then, if you’re a very frequent user.
Fire TV Stick:was $39.99now$24.99 at AmazonIf you want to save even more money and don’t need 4K resolution support, you can also consider the standard Amazon Fire TV Stick. It’s on sale today for $24.99 but has been as low as $19.99 in the past. Still, as we found in ourFire TV Stick review, it serves as a cheap way to add essential smart features to your TV. You get access to streaming apps in HD, Alexa voice controls and the ability to control other smart home devices.
Echo Pop:was $39.99 now$19.99 at AmazonLooking to buy a smart speaker for a small space? The straightforward and easy-to-use Echo Pop is back down to $19.99. It’s the cheapest Echo device you can buy right now that we found was a fun (if basic) option in ourEcho Pop review. For the money, you get a compact smart speaker with Alexa built-in, so you can play music, ask questions and check the weather completely hands-free.
Echo Dot (5th Gen):was $49.99 now$22.99 at AmazonAmazon’s best-selling Echo Dot has been as low as $22.99 in the past so there will be opportunities to grab it for less later in the year - especially if you’re a Prime member. But, this is still a decent discount if you want to buy the smart speaker today. Amazon’s latest model got four stars in ourEcho Dot (5th Gen) reviewfor its improved audio experience, new temperature sensor, and all the handy Alexa features like playing music, answering questions, and checking the weather completely hands-free.
