Amazon Fire 7 Tablet
Amazon amazon.com
$49.99

The Fire 7 tablet features a fast processor, 16GB of storage space, and a microSD card slot while still maintaining a budget-friendly price point.

Amazon Fire HD 8 Tablet
Amazon bestbuy.com
$89.99

If you're willing to spend a little extra than you would the Fire HD 7, consider shopping the Amazon Fire HD 8, which offers longer battery life, double the storage space, and a slightly bigger screen. It's perfect for web browsing, social networking, and streaming video. Rather impressively, the tablet also has built-in stereo speakers. There are five colors to pick from: black, white, plum, slate, and blue.

It’s worth noting that Amazon also offers a slightly pricier Fire HD 8 Plus tablet, which has a similar design and specs, as well as support for wireless charging. There’s even an optional wireless charging dock for the slate.

All-new Echo (4th Generation)
Amazon amazon.com
$99.99

The fourth-generation Echo sports an all-new spherical design, and it offers improved sound quality thanks to its 3-inch woofer, dual-firing tweeters, and added Dolby processing. Compared to past iterations, the newer model is faster at answering your requests, and it features a built-in Zigbee smart home hub, meaning it can be used to control connected home gadgets and appliances.

As you’d expect, the Echo is still the perfect companion for your budding smart home so that you can control your lights, locks, and music playback with your voice. The Echo serves as an intercom, and Alexa can tell you the weather, news, or traffic. It also works wonderfully for setting timers, getting answers to questions, creating calendar events, reminders, and shopping lists.

The Echo’s fabric shell comes in three colors, charcoal, glacier white, or twilight blue, which help it blend into any room.

Amazon eero 6 Mesh Wi-Fi 6 Router
eero amazon.com
$83.00

Amazon’s latest router features Wi-Fi 6, a new wireless standard that transmits signals more efficiently to deliver faster speeds and better performance. The router can support more than 75 connected devices simultaneously and reaches speeds as high as 500 Mbps. This two-pack covers up to 3,00 square feet, but if you have a smaller floor plan, Amazon sells a single router you can opt for instead to save some cash.

This device is more than capable of streaming in 4K, playing games online, and hosting video calls, but if you have a gigabit internet connection and want even faster speeds, you should opt for the eero Pro 6 instead. You can expand your network by adding more routers with both models.

Echo Dot (3rd Generation)
Amazon
$39.99
$34.99 (13% off)

Over the years, the Echo Dot has become Amazon's most popular smart speaker — probably due in part to its affordable price. This model is 70% louder than the second-generation Dot (but it's quieter than the newer, more expensive 4th generation Dot), and it flaunts a slimmer UFO-shaped design with a fabric cover that comes in four different colors.

The Echo Dot will hear your voice commands via seven built-in microphones, and it can connect to a larger audio system via Bluetooth or a standard 3.5-millimeter audio cable for an even fuller sound. It's the cheapest Echo speaker money can buy.

Amazon Smart Plug
Amazon amazon.com
$24.99

Amazon's smart plug is designed to deliver seamless integration with the virtual assistant Alexa. It's also incredibly easy to set up. All you need to do is plug it into a power outlet, and Alexa will automatically detect it.

Once you're connected, you can just ask your smart assistant to power your appliances or lamps off and on. Or, you can schedule them to turn on and off automatically and control them when you're not at home.

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K
Amazon amazon.com
$49.99
$37.99 (24% off)

The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K allows you to enjoy 4K HDR content from all major streaming services.

Powered by Amazon Alexa, we like that the streaming player allows you to search for content by speaking right into the remote. It supports Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision and has a gorgeous, easy-to-use interface. Its remote also lets you turn your TV on and off and adjust the volume.

If you haven't upgraded to a 4K TV just yet, consider this more affordable Amazon Fire TV Stick instead, which supports Full HD TV sets.

Amazon Echo Show 8 (2nd Generation)
Amazon amazon.com
$129.99

The Echo Show 8 slots in between the standard 10.1-inch screened Echo Show and the significantly smaller Echo Show 5. Like its smaller sibling, it features a privacy shutter for covering its camera when it's not in use. It does offer a much louder and fuller sound, though.

It's the perfect smart home companion, so you can easily control your smart devices with your voice or a simple tap of your finger. It also works wonderfully for video calls or streaming video on streaming services like Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, and Hulu.

Amazon Echo Show 5
Amazon amazon.com
$79.99

Editor's Note: Amazon recently launched the second-generation Echo Show 5, which costs $85. We plan to review it soon.

The smallest Echo Show rocks a 5.5-inch screen — nearly half the length of its sibling's display, making it an excellent alarm clock. The Show 5 allows you to control your connected thermostats, light bulbs, or video baby monitors with just a tap or swipe of your finger.

It also doubles as a smart speaker and has Alexa on board for asking questions or playing music. This option does have a camera for video calls. We're happy to see that it also features a camera shutter for blocking the lens when the camera is not in use. The Echo Show 5 was dubbed the smart alarm clock to get by the Verge.

Amazon Echo Show 10 (3rd Generation)
Amazon amazon.com
$249.99

With its large 10-inch touchscreen, a 13MP camera (the best camera we've seen on a smart display), and a new rotating base, the recently improved Amazon Echo Show smart speaker adds a whole new way of interacting with Alexa.

The Echo Show 10 has a motorized base that allows its display to swivel itself to face you, so you always get a good view of the screen. It works wonderfully at keeping you in the frame during video calls — even if you're moving around in the kitchen.

In addition to being the ultimate video chat companion, the device is perfect for playing tunes, managing your daily routine, and controlling your connected home. The Amazon Echo Show can also play videos or stream live feeds from your wireless security cameras.

Not only that, it shows you recipes, delivers the news, and acts as a Zigbee smart hub, which makes it easier to set up and pair accessories for your smart home. The sound quality of the device is impressive, too, thanks to its 3-inch woofer and two 1-inch tweeters.

Echo Buds Wireless Earbuds
Amazon amazon.com

If you want to take Alexa with you on the go, opt for Amazon's latest pair of wireless earbuds. They feature active noise-reduction technology, along with water resistance.

These buds can play up to 5 hours of music at a time, but their charging case provides an extra 15 hours, making them a very travel-friendly option.

Ring Stick Up Cam
Ring amaozn.com

The highly-rated, easy-to-use Ring security camera is a nifty gadget that will let you keep tabs on your home 24/7 in full HD and send you alerts if it detects motion. It's also compatible with Amazon Alexa and is good for shoppers on a limited budget.

Of course, the Fire HD 10 will also give you access to Amazon's vast library of content, which includes books, music, video, and apps.

Amazon Fire TV Cube
Amazon amazon.com
$119.99

Get yourself a Fire TV Cube, and you can pretty much ditch your remote altogether. This smart streaming device is equipped with several built-in microphones and a speaker that can pick up your commands from another room.

Not only can you ask Alexa to pause, increase volume, or turn off the TV, you can even ask the smart assistant to order pizza, change channels, and switch inputs. As you'd expect, this streaming device packs all the latest viewing apps, whether you're a Hulu or a Netflix household (or both!).

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
Amazon amazon.com
$129.99

The newest version of the Kindle Paperwhite is a game-changer for book lovers — it's waterproof and also comes with Audible. You can pair it with your Bluetooth headphones and listen, rather than read if you choose.

It still has instant access to thousands of books, a glare-free backlit display, a battery that lasts for weeks, Wi-Fi, and a 6-inch touchscreen.

Amazon Echo Studio
Amazon amazon.com
$199.99

The Echo Studio offers more immersive, room-filling sound than any other Amazon speaker since it can sense the acoustics of your space automatically. It's equipped with five drivers and supports Dolby's Atmos tech to add even more depth to your music.

For the audiophiles out there, this baby has three midrange 2-inch speakers, a 1-inch tweeter, and a large 5.25-inch woofer.

Compared to the Amazon Echo Plus, it has a larger footprint, a physical mic mute switch, and the ability to be paired to your Fire TV for surround sound.

All-new Ring Video Doorbell 4
Ring amazon.com
$179.99

The Ring Video Doorbell 4 is one of the most feature-filled smart doorbells you can buy. It wires to your existing doorbell line (or can be powered by a battery) and offers a sharp 1080p picture with a wide-angle lens, so you can see everything at your doorstep.

You receive instant alerts (and quick preview clips) to your smartphone when visitors press the doorbell or trigger a motion sensor. You can also watch a live feed anytime on your smartphone, tablet, or computer, making it a useful tool for monitoring new Amazon Prime packages on your porch.

$59.99

Amazon Fire TV Recast
Amazon amazon.com
$279.99

Amazon Echo Dot (4th Generation) Kids Edition
Amazon amazon.com
$59.99
$39.99 (33% off)

The Amazon Echo Dot Kids Edition includes a 1-year subscription to Amazon's FreeTime Unlimited service, which gives your children access to ad-free radio stations, playlists, audiobooks, and games.

The smart speaker will automatically filter explicit songs from Spotify, and you can use it as an intercom to tell your children when it's time for bed or dinner. As you'd expect from an Echo, it still answers questions, controls smart home devices, and sets timers. This one gives kid-friendly answers, has integrated parental controls, and was designed to look like a tiger or panda.

However, like with any other kid-focused gadget, you should err on the side of caution before placing one in your child's room.

22 of 30
Amazon Kindle Oasis
Amazon amazon.com
$249.99

Want to step your e-reader up a notch? The Kindle Oasis is thinner, more durable, and sharper than any other Kindle.

Plus, it offers more storage space for books and comes with Wi-Fi or 3G for downloading them anywhere. It's waterproof and has Audible built right in for listening to audiobooks. If you have a large content library, we recommend opting for the 32GB configuration, which offers enough storage space for thousands of books or more than 160 audiobooks.

Ring Stick Up Cam
Ring amazon.com
$99.99

The Ring Stick Up Cam can help further bolster your home security both indoors and out. The camera is completely weatherproof and offers 1080p Full HD live streaming. Key features include motion detection, night vision, a built-in siren, and two-way audio.

There's also a battery-powered variant for those hard-to-reach areas that aren't near an outlet. The cameras integrate nicely with your Amazon Alexa devices, so you can ask Alexa to show you what the cameras are seeing on your Echo Show or Fire TV.

Amazon Echo Dot (4th Generation) With Clock
Amazon amazon.com
$59.99

The fourth-generation Echo Dot shares the same globe-like design as its sibling, the Echo, but measuring in at just 3.9 inches wide and 3.5 inches tall, it's much smaller. It comes in the same colors, charcoal, glacier white, or twilight blue, but is half the cost.

We think the Echo Dot is the best bedside speaker since it’s equipped with a LED display that shows the time, alarms, and outdoor temperature. You can even tap the top of the Dot to snooze your alarm.

For those who find the clock too distracting, Amazon also sells a clock-free variant as well that's a little bit cheaper.

All-New Ring Alarm 8-Piece Kit (2nd Gen)
Ring amazon.com
$199.99

The Ring's eight-piece security kit comes with a base station, a keypad, four contact sensors, a motion detector, a range extender, and a video doorbell. You can easily add more sensors to the system if you wish.

You control the system via a sleek smartphone app or using your smart speaker. Of course, Ring Protect will also alert you in case something happens while you're away.

The coolest bit about Ring is its competitive subscription pricing of just $10 per month for 24/7 home monitoring.
