Our top pick
Released in 2023, the latest Echo Show 8 improves on all of the things we loved about its predecessor. It features a centered 13MP front camera for clearer calls, a dynamic interface that adjusts based on your distance to the device, and spatial audio for more enjoyable listening. It also didn't fix what wasn't broken; you can still use it as a central hub for everything from controlling your lights and security systems to making video calls and streaming shows. At $84.99 (reg. $149.99), it's down to its lowest price on record ahead of Prime Day.
The Echo Pop is a "good budget-friendly option in the Echo lineup," according to Mashable's reviewer, SaVanna Shoemaker, and is a solid pick for those "who like to keep music playing, and who also use Alexa as a home assistant." It's currently on sale for $17.99, down from its usual $39.99. For just $2 more, you can bundle it with a Sengled smart color bulb and control your lights and music all by asking Alexa.
Whether you some extra sleeping space or storage space on your next camping trip, Coleman's Skylodge 12-person tent should do the trick. This baby can fit four queen-sized air mattresses inside its roomy 19 x 10 ft. interior. The center of the tent stands 7.4 feet high, so you can easily walk around and lounge inside when it's not bedtime. It can also withstand whatever weather you get stuck in. As of July 12, you can pick up this spacious tent for only $299.99 instead of $429.99. That's a savings of 30% and its lowest price on record.
One of the simplest (and most affordable) ways to make your home a little smarter, the Amazon Smart Plug slips into your existing outlet and adds Alexa voice command to anything you plug in. You can schedule the lights, fan, coffee maker, or anything else you don't want running 24/7 to turn on and off at a specific time. It's usually a bit pricey at $24.99, but ahead of Prime Day, you can grab it for a much more affordable $12.99.
Looking for a vacuum that can handle everyday quick cleans across all of your floors? The Dyson V8 Plus is on sale for just $299.99 — a record-low for this model — and makes a solid cleaning companion. It has a runtime of 40 minutes and the ability to conserve energy and only use power when and where you need it. It also comes with a crevice tool, hair screw tool, motorbar, and mini soft dusting brush to help you really get your cleaning done right.
