Amazon prime day deals echo dot music unlimited

Let's go for the first, most popular product that we've seen our readers buying - and surprisingly it's the older Amazon Echo Dot, down to just $19.99 in the Black Friday sales as Amazon does That Thing It Does and makes any and all of its devices dirt cheap during the sales period.

This is by far the most-bought product we've seen, so if you're looking for a super simple way to get your home smart-enabled, then this is the easy and simple way to  do it.

Roku

Next up, a Black Friday classic – old faithful, the Roku Streaming Stick 4K. Smartening up otherwise-dumb televisions, its plugs into a HDMI port on your TV and gives you access to loads of streaming services, from Apple TV to Disney Plus, Netflix and more. 

They're always relatively affordable, but Amazon is slashing the price by 42% for Black Friday, bringing the latest 4K model down to an impulsive $29. Don't be put off by that low price either – Roku sticks are fast, user friendly and worth every penny.

Black Friday Apple Pencil deals

Get creative with your iPad with the latest generation of the Apple Pencil. It's rare to see Apple-branded gear get significant discounts, but a 23% saving here knocks $30 off the usual price, bringing the stylus down to $99 at Amazon.

Making sketches a doddle (or should that be doodle?), the new Apple Pencil is much improved over its predecessor, with a more reliable battery, and a handy magnetic charging system that keeps the pen safe and powered up.

Fire Stick 4K with remote

Get a bit chattier with your TV thanks to the Amazon Fire Stick 4K Max, a steal at just $34.99 at Amazon.

With the Alexa voice assistant built in, and a microphone built into the remote, this tiny streaming dongle adds services like Netflix, Disney Plus and HBO Max to your TV, as well as acting as a focal point of control for your smart home products like Wi-Fi connected lights, doorbells and plug sockets. 

With Wi-Fi 6 support and a new processor, it's a speedy, responsive dongle at a near pocket-money price.

PlayStation Plus Black Friday deals

Another Black Friday classic this one – there's no point buying a PlayStation Plus subscription at any other point in the year, as this deal proves. Pick up 12 months of access to PlayStation's online subscription service (which opens up online multiplayer and throws in a handful of free games per month) for just $39.99 from Amazon. That's $20 cheaper than usual, and remember that you can stack purchases with these digital codes, letting you stock up for years at a discount price. 

Ring Video Doorbell Wired deal

You've just finished up your Thanksgiving turkey – can you really be bothered to get up and check who is ringing your doorbell? With this Ring Video Doorbell deal from Amazon, bringing the price down to $41.99 rather than the usual price of $59.99, you wouldn't have to.

Instead, you could live out your lazy-ass dreams by checking in on the web-connected doorbell's video feed on your phone, tablet or screen-connected Alexa device, be that an Amazon Fire TV Stick or an Echo Show.

OK, maybe you need to work off those turkey pounds after all. But that doesn't have to be a chore! The Ring Fit Adventure for Nintendo Switch turns your daily exercise routine into a madcap RPG game. 

Right now, it's just $74.99 at Amazon – which is surprising in that it's in stock at all, as Ring Fit Adventure has proved so popular it's usually sold out!

You'll be crushing bosses and crunching those abs at the same time with its innovative resistance hoop peripheral. It's fun – and a serious workout, too. Don't be surprised if it leaves you absolutely whacked out!

Here's a really tasty deal on some sporty headphones from Jabra. Unlike some sports-oriented buds, these ones actually sound really good too, so you don't have to relegate them purely to gym sessions.

Over at Amazon you can save a whopping $80 on the Jabra Elite Active 75t. That brings the price down to a very tempting $99.99, much more affordable than the usual $179.99 asking price.

Prime Day Fire HD deals 2021

They may not be as classy as an iPad, but Amazon's own range of Fire HD tablets are not to be sniffed at. Affordable, fast and with access to all the top apps, they're solid Android tablets that you can throw into a rucksack without worrying about doing damage to a $1000 piece of kit.

Case in point – the 10-inch full HD Fire HD tablet, down to just $74.99 from its usual price of $149.99. You could buy the whole family one at that price, and have change to spare compared to the cost of an Apple alternative.

ASUS Chromebook

You're going to be hard pressed to find a laptop under $100 – well, at least one that wouldn't be verging on masochistic. This ASUS Chromebook with 11-inch screen bucks that trend, offering a modestly-capable machine for on-the-go browsing and some light work, scraping in at $99 over at Best Buy.

Sorry, little tea-break pause there. But we're back with a banger! If you're one of the lucky few that's managed to bag themselves a PS5 console, why not treat yourself to a spare DualSense controller to go with it? Over at Walmart it's had its price slashed to just 69 dollars. Niiiiiiice.

Binoculars

LEFT-FIELD DEAL ALERT. Bored of all the TVs and streaming sticks? Set your sights on the stars with the Celestron Skymaster Giant binoculars.

These binoculars are specifically crafted for looking up at the night sky in low-light conditions, letting you do some stargazing with a little more flexibility than a traditional telescope. 

Packed with a tripod adapter and a case, you can pick this up for just $89.95 at Amazon, saving you 10 bucks. No peeking through windows though...

Another classic deal for you here, with Amazon once again shaving the price of its Echo speaker hardware. This one's the nifty, newest Echo Show 5 though – the pint-sized, screen-packing smart speaker. It's down to just $44.99 at the moment, down from its usual price of $84.99.

That's a real steal – Alexa voice control is great, you can watch videos and take video calls on it, and control smart home gadgets too. Perfect for a bedside table, this one.

Have you bought a Kindle recently? Well, a lot of people have from our websites.

The 'basic' Kindle is down to just $49.99, from $89.99, which isn't the worst price in the world anyway. I still remember when a Kindle with a backlight was a proper luxury, which rather dates me.

You can get yourself an ad-free version for $69.99, but honestly, it's not worth it. Just imagine that $20 in your pocket when you see the confusing advert when it's turned off.

Just cusping our "under $100" limit are these Beats Solo Pro wireless headphones, discounted from $149 to $99 at Walmart.

In our review, we praised these headphones for their excellent battery life, impressive active noise-canceling performance, and stunning yet sturdy design.

While we're on audio devices, the Razer BlackShark V2 gaming headset is at an all-time low price of just $69.99 at Amazon.

It's worth noting that while these headphones are console compatible, it's a little finicky as we discovered in our review, but it's a fantastic gaming headset otherwise and is a brilliant option for PC gamers.

We're doing quite well at posts associated with one another now, aren't we - here's another Razer product, but this time it's the Razer Kiyo Pro.

Plus, it's another all-time low price - now just $99.99 from $199.99 from Amazon

Targeted towards streamers and content creators, $100 off one of the best webcams on the market is nothing to turn your nose up at. Plus, the inbuilt ring light sounds appealing right now - my inbuilt laptop webcam really exaggerated the deep, black circles I'm developing around my eyes in our team meeting just now.

If you're more in need of components to amp up your gaming rig than you are streaming kit, the Samsung 980 SSD is the one for you.

And, you guessed it - yet another all-time low price from this blog. We're rolling in them! At just $99.99 right now on Amazon, this is much more competitive pricing for a very capable and strong drive.

"Memory, all alone in the moonlight..."

Sorry to remind anyone who saw the Cats movie of... whatever that was. It just felt fitting as I watch the moon climb higher in the sky from my London flat while looking at this Best Buy deal for $90 off the WD Easystore 5TB portable hard drive.

Now just $89.99, this hard drive is an easy win for all of your storage needs, in a pretty compact and portable casing.

Let's make a departure from our slew of related products onto something a little different - the Amazon Echo (4th Gen), which is just $59.99 in Amazon's Black Friday sales.

We've already mentioned how popular the slightly older Echo Dot is proving to be this year, but for the slightly higher price, the Echo boasts a larger, higher-quality 360-degree speaker.

So, if you're a music-lover, or have fussy ears that generally prefer better audio quality (guilty as charged), don't skip out on $40 off the Echo.

I got really, really into Tik Tok in recent months, and like many video apps, it absolutely decimates my phone's battery.

I was gifted my own Anker portable charger and it's been a game-changer for long train journeys - or for when I'm too lazy to grab my charger from the other room. Anker's PowerCore Slim 10000 PD is on sale for $39.99 at Amazon - that's $20 off it's retail price - and when I think about how many coffees I've had to buy to use charging ports in Starbucks, that's an even better saving.

Let's get physical - and keep track with our Fitbit Inspire 2, now $59.95 at Amazon! 

It's simple, it's stylish, it's sturdy, and now it's $40 off, making one of Fitbit's most affordable models even easier on the wallet than it is on the eye.

Next up, we're back to webcams with the Logitech C922x, down to $74.99 from $99.99 at Amazon.

We've been a supporter of this model since its release in 2018, and it still holds - even if this isn't the lowest price we've ever seen it drop to (previous sales have seen it drop to as low as $50). Still, if you're looking for a camera optimized for professional quality streaming with a versatile stand, it's a worthy purchase.

It's the season of soup - unless you're one of those people who thinks warm liquids are at all tolerable in the summer - and what better way to cook up a storm in the kitchen than with the Ninja BN601.

Packing a powerful 1000-peakwatts and 4 Auto-iQ intelligent preset programs, it can power through even the toughest of ingredients, which will taste even better if you buy it now at its lowest price ever of just $69.99 at Amazon.

You know what I could really do with? A nice, hot coffee. 

I may be tired, but I'm still excited by all of these budget-friendly Black Friday deals - especially this Keurig K-Mini Coffee Maker for $49.99 at Amazon.

It's a simple, stylish way to make yourself a quick at-home espresso at home - and we'd recommend picking one up fast if you want one ahead of the festive season on account of global supply chain issues.

Seagate is a well-known brand when it comes to storage, and if you want to reduce clutter, portable SSD's are always the way to go.

Amazon's tidy $8 off the Seagate Portable 2TB external hard drive brings the price down to $54.99, but brings your storage potential up significantly.

Plus, it's compatible with PC, Mac, PlayStation, and Xbox!

Or, if you're looking for an internal SSD, this Intel 660p Series is down to $79.99 at Amazon.

It's not the newest model on the market, but it brings 1TB of fast storage at an affordable price.

Back on the webcam hype - the updated model of our all-time favourite webcam is now on sale for just $59.78 from $69.99 at Amazon.

The original Logitech C920 still stands as a really solid webcam, in our eyes, but the C920s brings the software into the current age, with the addition of a neat little privacy shutter.

If you made the same mistake as I did last year and panic-bought a cheap webcam while better brands battled with increased demand and worldwide supply chain issues, then this is a great time to upgrade!

A favorite line for Amazon's Black Friday deals (obviously, it's their product) is always the Amazon Fire tablet, and this 50% off deal on the Amazon Fire HD 8 makes for one of the top deals in the range.

Usually coming in at $89.99, bagging Amazon's mid-sized tablet for $44.99 makes for a tempting purchase - or, you can splash out a little more for the ad-free or 64GB versions.

Amazon's #1 best seller in car on-dash mounted cameras is up next with a neat little $20 discount, bringing the price from $119.99 to $99.99

With such a small screen, you'd be forgiven for assuming a sub-par video quality - however, the Rove R2-4K Dash Cam still packs a punch.

Planning on snagging a deal on AirPods this Black Friday? Make sure to sweeten the deal - and keep yourself covered - with 25% off AppleCare+ from Amazon.

For $21.75, AppleCare+ increases your coverage by two years from purchase date and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage (which are subject to a service fee of $29 each plus applicable tax).

Plus, thanks to Apple's acquisition of Beats, this covers Beats earphones and headphones as well as Apple's own AirPods.

Looking for something a little more Outland-ish? We've got another binoculars deal on our radar - this time for the Celestron Outland X, now $70.49 at Amazon.

Designed to be fogproof and waterproof, these are more for the outdoor enthusiast than the night sky-focused Celestron Skymaster Giant binoculars we posted about earlier.

They also come with a wide binocular strap and a soft protective carry pouch, making for a great companion piece on your next adventure in the great outdoors

Known for great value air purifiers, Levoit is always one to watch on Black Friday.

For example, you can snag the Levoit Air Purifier for Home Bedroom for its lowest price ever, $84.98 at Amazon.

By proxy of being bedroom-focused, this purifier has a sleep mode that keeps the volume below 24dB, offering whisper-quiet HEPA filter goodness with a 15% saving. Bliss.

A long-time favorite in the PC gaming space, the Logitech G502 range remains a popular choice, especially with its newer models featuring the Hero 25K sensor upgrade. 

Now, you can get the Logitech G502 Lightspeed for just $99.99 at Amazon. With an adjustable dpi range of 100-25,600, 11 customizable buttons and LightSync RGB for that classic gamer aesthetic, 33% off the Logitech G502 Lightspeed is a great bargain.

Blink and you’ll miss it - both because this is a popular product, and because it’s just so teeny tiny! 

Amazon’s budget smart home and security camera is nearly half price in this deal, knocking the price down from $34.99 to $19.99!

It may not contend with the competition as much on video storage, but the Blink Mini does have a few advantages in its corner - namely, its Full HD video, night vision, and Amazon Alexa support. There’s also a neat little built-in speaker, which is great to calm down anxious pets while you’re away from home. Or just chat with them if you’re lonely on your coffee break.

Don't forget that it's not just about gadgets this Black Friday – there are plenty of software deals happening too. Don't miss out, for instance, on the Steam Autumn sale, where loads of PC games are seeing heavy discounts. Forget sub-$100 deals, we're talking sub-$10 offers on some of the greatest games of all time, like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Razer

A bad workman blames his tools, as does a bad gamer. So get better tools, like this programmable 8-button gaming mouse from Razer.

The Death Adder v2 is one of the most well-loved of all gaming mice, with a 20k DPI sensor and RGB lighting. It's not wireless, but you might prefer it that way, keeping latency to a minimum and saving you having to charge it up all the time.

Pick it up from Amazon today for just $34.99. That's a saving of $35, down from its usual $69.99 asking price.

Kindle

An entire library in your pocket is a concept as enticing today as when Amazon first introduced its Kindle e-reader almost 15 years ago. And it's even more enticing than usual with Amazon's Black Friday sales discount offers. Today you can grab the backlit Kindle  

Ratchet and Clank

(Image credit: Sony)

It took a little while to happen, but we're finally seeing some decent savings on PS5 games. They don't come much flashier than the Pixar-worthy Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, which is down to just $49.94 at Amazon. That's a saving of just over $20, giving you the impressively-cinematic sci-fi platformer at a fraction of its $70 RRP.

GE

(Image credit: GE)

Scraping in under $100 is this $99 GE mid-sized microwave over at Best Buy. A 950W number for speedy meals, it's exactly what you'll need after struggling at the stove for all those Thanksgiving dinner goodies yesterday. A quick reheat and you're back in the sitting-on-your-ass game!

A quick, cheap and cheerful post this – going to skip the picture as no-one really needs to know what an internal hard drive looks like, right? It's hardly a Picasso. BUT! The Seagate IronWolf 4TB HDD, perfect for a RAID storage NAS kit, is at an attractive $89.99 at Amazon, saving you $21.

Guardians of the Galaxy game

(Image credit: Marvel / Square Enix)

This is quite a mad offer – the new Guardians of the Galaxy game, a surprisingly charming action-adventure brawler from the minds behind the Deus Ex franchise, is has only been out a few weeks. But it's already getting its price slashed for Black Friday, with this digital Xbox version of the game, compatible with One and Series generation consoles, down to just $38.99. That's a $21 saving, making it a great deal... but perhaps not such a great deal for those that paid full price for it a few short weeks ago!

Sony Pulse 3D headset

(Image credit: Sony)

Another small but worthy saving for gamers here, specifically those sitting pretty with a PS5. Sony's Pulse 3D wireless headset, which offers 3D surround sound from a pair of cans, is getting a modest discount of $10.04, bringing it down for its usual price of $99.99 to just $89.95. It's simple to set up, comfortable to wear and sounds great in action – a nice finishing touch to a bundle buy for those new to the PS5 console.

Tp link

(Image credit: TP link)

Bounty Blue and Grogu Green are the two options available, and both even feature a lovely image emblazoned on the back.

Amazon Echo Dot

What's better than an Amazon Echo Dot smart speaker? How about one that comes with a free light bulb? It's not just any old light bulb, though, it's a Spengled Smart Color Bulb that features Bluetooth support. What's great is the bulb works in tandem with the Echo Dot smart speaker's Alexa voice assistant functionality, allowing you to change the color of the bulb to your liking at any time, using just your voice. You can pick this deal up right now for just $19.99, saving you $34.99 over the usual retail price.

At just $69.99, this superb gaming mouse that's complete with customizable RGB lighting, 70 hours of battery life and eight programmable buttons, is the lowest price we've ever seen at Amazon.

Another shocking Black Friday gaming deal takes the newly released Call of Duty Vanguard down to just $39 at Walmart. Call of Duty games are incredibly popular, and usually hold their price quite well long after release, so we're happy to see such a steep discount so early into the game's life span. If you're looking for a bombastic World War 2 campaign and a robust, fast-paced multiplayer suite, Vanguard delivers in spades.
