Amazon effectively kicked off the sweet smart speaker market with the launch of the original Amazon Echo in 2015. The product line has gone through several evolutions and expansions since then, but for many customers, the Echo Dot has been a key entry point into the ecosystem thanks to a budget-friendly price and support for the full range of Amazon’s services. Now in its fourth generation, it adopts the new look of the larger Echo while retaining all of the qualities that made the original Dot popular.

Amazon is dishing out some of the best deals we've seen on its branded devices in honor of Alexa's 7th birthday. That means Echo devices, Fire TV devices, and even an Alexa-powered Mickey Mouse wall clock at low, low prices.

Today only Best Buy is selling a 55-inch Toshiba 4K TV, powered by Amazon's Fire TV platform, for just $379.99.

Prime Day is always the best time of the year to pick up any of Amazon's gadgets, be it a new Fire TV Stick or a budget Fire tablet. If you're looking to get Alexa in every room in your house, nearly every Echo device is on sale through the end of today, including some of the latest smart speakers, smart displays, and more.

Amazon already had its Prime Day festivities last month, but the company apparently still has some Echo speakers it needs to clear out. Amazon has again discounted most of its hardware products, plus a few third-party devices running Fire TV.The bulk of the discounts are on Fire TV devices, including the HDMI sticks, the Fire TV Cube that looks like a Borg ship, TVs running Fire OS, various Echo Show smart speakers, and the pint-sized Echo Flex. Most of the prices are identical to what we saw on Prime Day, so if you already bought something then, you don't have to worry about missing out.

Amazon held an important event last week, during which it announced a bunch of new devices, including a revamped range of Echo speakers. Despite their very recent unveiling, the company wants to give early buyers a discount for pre-ordering the new Echo lineup, provided you buy them in pairs and use one of the promo codes below.

At a private online stream yesterday, Amazon unveiled its new lineup of hardware products, and boy, did they really let it rip. There are a ton of new offerings coming up from several of their lines, including Echo, Fire TV, and Ring. There's the new spherical Echo, a Ring-connected car alarm, and even a flying security camera — a real wonderland of tech. If you're interested in Amazon's offerings, or even just want to see what they're up to, there's a treasure trove of information here.

It's Wednesday, and Wednesday means deals (some weeks, anyway). Today we've got half off the third generation Echo Dot, plus fine discounts on a big, honkin' JBL speaker, some earbuds, a power bank, and a two-pack of wireless chargers.

In case you haven't heard, the stock market has taken quite a tumble in the last week or two, forcing tech companies all over the world to reconsider their financial forecasts for the foreseeable future. So far, this hasn't affected the number of deals that have come across our desks, but it could have an impact down the road. Nevertheless, you can help support some of your favorite brands by investing in the latest round of discounts from this week.
