Our top pick
The third-generation Echo Show 5 boasts an upgraded speaker system with double the bass of the previous generation and clearer sound for music, audiobooks, podcasts, video content, and more. It also features the AZ2 Neural Edge processor and a reengineered microphone array. The display is still on the small side at 5.5 inches, but that's what makes it a good fit for a nightstand or desktop. Paired with the Energetic smart color bulb, you'll be on your way to a smarter home without breaking the bank. A $104 value, you can snag both on Oct. 31 for just $49.99. That's a savings of 51%.
If your kitchen space is scarce, investing in one all-powerful countertop appliance is the way to go. The Ninja Foodi 10-in-1 Smart CL air fryer oven is the appliance to rule all appliances. As the name suggests, it has 10 built-in functions, including air fry, roast, bake, whole roast, broil, toast, bagel, dehydrate, reheat, and pizza. In other words, it serves as an air fryer, a convection oven, a toaster oven, a pizza oven, a classic toaster, and beyond. Its capacity is large enough to feed the whole family. It can fit a five pound chicken and a sheet pan of veggies at once, or two 12-inch pizzas. As of Oct. 31, it's on sale for just $179.99 instead of $329.99. That's a savings of 45% and its lowest price to date.
Not everyone is looking for a tablet that can practically double as a computer. Some shoppers just want a reliable tablet that can handle the basics without breaking the bank. That's where Samsung's Galaxy Tab A9+ comes in. Our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) called it the "best low-cost Android tablet you can buy," noting that it "succeeds at everything a low-cost tablet should." Basically a lite version of the S9+, the A9+ sports an 11-inch screen, quad speakers powered by Dolby Atmos, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor, and expandable storage up to 1TB. The 64GB model with WiFi is usually $219.99, but as of Oct. 31, you can pick it up for only $169.99. That's a savings of 23% and just $10 away from its lowest price ever.
Our favorite tablet for kids, the Amazon Fire 10 Kids is geared towards little tikes between the ages of 3 and 7 years old. The 2023 version introduced a better front-facing camera, better battery life, and a bump in processing power compared to its predecessor. It still features the same built-in intuitive parental controls that make Amazon's kids tablets our favorite, plus a case that can handle drops and spills, a year's worth of access to Amazon Kids+, and a two-year worry-free guarantee. As of Oct. 31, it's on sale for just $109.99 instead of $189.99. That's a savings of 42% and matches its all-time low.
