We are smack dab in the middle of Amazon.com’s annual PrimeDay, a 36 hour sale that began Monday at noon featuring many of Amazon branded products like Firesticks, Kindles, and Fire TV. There are other deals and steep discounts off of streaming television, mobile phones and even basic household items on sale.
We went through several tech sites summary of the top picks and selected a few of our faves from their list:
Because in a home with children, any existing Fire sticks already in the home may have been broken or lost, so now is a great time to get Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote for $19.99 ($20 off) This, according to CNet, is the best price yet for Amazon’s basic streamer and a solid alternative to Roku, especially for Alexa fans.
Another best-ever price exclusively for Prime members, this normally $70 Fire TV is the “pendant” design — a bit bigger than a stick but still easily hidden behind your TV — that adds 4K HDR capability, perfect for your compatible TV. Get the Fire TV with 4K Ultra HD and Alexa Voice Remote ($34.99, $35 off)
For homes that love television and enjoy big screens, you can get this Toshiba 50-inch Amazon Fire TV Edition TV for $289.99, $110 off the regular price. The top tier picture quality may not be supreme but this price for a normally $500 TV is a steal!
If you’re in the market for a laptop that can handle the bare minimum — visiting websites, checking email, storing a few files — the Acer Aspire 1 14-inch laptop for $160 ($45 off) wiill do the trick at an absolute bargain-bin price.
Also, the Acer Chromebook 11 for $139 ($64 off) is a basic, highly portable Chromebook that’s more than good enough for basic social media and websurfing.
Another Smart TV option, maybe for a guest room or the kids’ playroom is this TCL 32-Inch Roku Smart LED TV which sells for just $129 ($70 Off)
For homes with new babies who nap during the day, the AmazonBasics Room Darkening Blackout Curtain Set is a steal at $17.25) (saving $17.24)
