The Amazon Spring Sale is over but you can still get these top deals
All the best deals still live after the sale is over
The Amazon Spring Sale wrapped up earlier this week but the retailer has actually kept a decent number of offers live, so we've given the retailer one last look and picked out the best deals that are still available. While some of our favourite offers have now sold out, the good news is that there are still some decent discounts, including some price cuts on popular items that are almost in line with those we see during Amazon Prime Day.
Whether you're after a new smart home device, TV, earbuds, air fryer or more, you can find all the biggest and best savings below that we've hand-picked from the sale at Amazon.
These products have been chosen as they're some of the top-reviewed items in their category by our team of experts and come from some of our favourite brands, so you know you're getting quality. Others are useful bits of tech or useful gear that are simply down to the cheapest price we've ever seen – or at least close enough that the difference isn't too major.
Right now, there is a vast number of deals on Amazon devices. That means all the usual suspects such as the Echo Dot, Fire TV Stick and Kindle are all reduced. Not all the savings are impressive, though. Some are actually a long way from the lowest-ever prices we've seen in previous sales events. We've made that clear where it applies below, while also sticking to the deals we think are still worth buying today.
You can also browse all the offers at Amazon for yourself before the sale ends tonight.
Today's best deals at Amazon
Blink Video Doorbell: was £59.99 now £38.99 at Amazon
For a cheap and simple home security option, you can find the Blink Video Doorbell back down to around £5 away from its lowest-ever price in this early round of the Amazon Spring Sale. It doesn't come with additional cameras, but you can pair it with existing smart displays at home or use the app to see, hear and speak with anyone at your door no matter where you are.
Kindle: was £84.99 was £69.99 at Amazon
The all-new version of the standard Kindle is now on sale for only the fourth time since it launched in September. Today's price is just £5 away from the record-low we saw back in February, so it's a reasonably good time to buy if you missed it back then. It's a basic ereader, but still boasts a four-week battery life and space for thousands of books. The improved Kindle Paperwhite is currently only slightly more at £94.99, too, but this is clearly a better pick for the infrequent reader who's after a more budget-friendly option.
Echo Dot (5th Gen): was £54.99 now £29.99 at Amazon
The latest generation Echo Dot smart speaker offers a step up in audio quality to deliver clearer vocals, more powerful bass and a more vibrant overall sound. Apart from that, it's capable of exactly the same features as previous models. This latest offer is £3 more than the lowest ever price we've seen, but it's unlikely to fall much lower until later in the year around Prime Day.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 4: was £199 now £149 at Amazon
It's now an older model but the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is still a health and fitness powerhouse that we awarded four stars in our Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 review. And it's now back to its lowest price ever – ideal for those after a wearable at a budget price. Features include ECG and blood pressure monitoring in real-time, along with sleep tracking and analysis. There are also over 90 sports modes readily available on the watch for when you need them.
Lenovo IdeaPad 3: was £399.99 now £279.99 at Amazon
When our pals over at T3 put together their review of the Lenovo IdeaPad 3, they said it offered solid performance on a budget. That's what makes this £120 saving on it so appealing. As well as a larger 15.6-inch display and impressive battery life, this version comes with a healthy 128GB of storage and an entry-level Intel i3 processor, too. Overall, it's a solid buy for the money if you need a laptop for basic day-to-day computing tasks.
Echo Show 8: was £119.99 now £64.99 at Amazon
Amazon has just dropped this handy smart screen even further to a new record low price. The larger Echo Show 8 smart display features an 8-inch screen that you can use to make calls, watch movies, check the weather, and control compatible smart home devices through full Alexa support. This deal is on the latest generation model, making it an even better bargain.
TCL CF630K 55-inch QLED Fire TV: was £429 now £399 at Amazon
This already inexpensive 55-inch QLED TV is now a better deal than ever following a further £40 discount. For the money, you get advanced Quantum Dot technology, Dolby Vision and HDR10+ that combine to deliver an impressive picture with vibrant colours and superior contrast for all your everyday viewing. Fire TV is built in, too, with easy access to all the major streaming apps at your fingertips - or through voice controls.
Ninja Foodi Max 15-in-1 SmartLid Multi-Cooker: was £319.99 now £249 at Amazon
We've awarded this the full five stars in our Ninja Foodi Max 15-in-1 SmartLid Multi-Cooker review, so you know you're getting one of the best Instant Pots out there with this premium alternative from Ninja. Today's offer matches the lowest price ever, which is understandably still quite pricey for some. However, it's an excellent bit of easy-to-use kit that can pressure cook, air fry, sauté, steam and lots more in between.
Amazon Fire TV Cube: was £139.99 now £119.99 at Amazon
You can now score a £20 discount on the latest Fire TV Cube. It's only the third time Amazon's latest and most advanced video streaming device has been reduced. We found this version was better than ever in our Amazon Fire TV Cube review. It's packed with features including WiFi 6E for a smoother wireless connection and 4K resolution support with image-enhancing Dolby Vision and HDR10+ to improve lighting. It also supports Alexa commands for hands-free voice control for the TV and other smart devices in your home.
What is the Amazon Spring Sale?
Clearly, someone over at Amazon was bored of waiting until the usual mega-sale in July, as the retailer announced a three-day spring sale in the UK from March 27 - 29.
While the event doesn't sound as monumental as the yearly members-only Amazon Prime Day, relatively large savings of up to 40% were revealed across all categories in the initial press release. There are discounts on all the usual Amazon devices as well as reductions on popular categories such as TVs, appliances, toys, phones, fashion and more. Some wide-ranging reductions mentioned in the announcement include:
- Appliances: up to 30% off Samsung, Hisense, Tefal, Philips and more.
- Beauty: up to 40% off makeup and nailcare from Rimmel, NYX, Max Factor
- Fashion: Save up to 30% on Amazon Fashion for men, women and kids
- Health: save big on electric toothbrushes, hairstyling tools and razors
- Gaming: up to 40% off video games, controllers and accessories
- Pets: Save up to 25% off pet food healthcare and supplies
- Phones: up to 35% off Google, Samsung and OnePlus smartphones
- Sports: Save up to 30% on Fitbit, Columbia and Helly Hansen
- Toys: Save up to 20% on toys from Lego, Mattel, Hasbro and more
- TVs: save up to 30% on televisions from Samsung, Sony and more
Amazon Spring Sale: an early Prime Day?
It doesn't look that way. Our initial research shows that many products cost the same or were actually slightly cheaper as recently as last Black Friday, while some are far from the record-low prices during the previous Prime Day sale.
Take the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max, for example. This has now dropped to £47.99, but it's actually been as low as £32.99 when it went on sale during Prime Day. Of course, it's important to point out that this spring sale is open to all and not exclusively for Prime members, but it's still a considerable difference.
Elsewhere, some of the offers are at least a little more in line with the cheapest prices we've seen before. The Kindle Paperwhite is £94.99, just £10 more compared to the deal from the most recent Prime Day. Not great, not terrible.
What is Spring Sale Spotting?
For that extra hit of unexpected pizzazz, TV personality / radio DJ / Gogglebox couch potato Rylan is also involved. You'll be able to catch him on a special Instagram show called Spring Sale Spotting frolicking with goats, bunnies, and air fryers - for some reason. I'm not joking. There are pictures and everything. Yes, this section is here so I can include that ridiculous picture above.
Anyway, if any of these deals haven't caught your eye, we'll continue scouring through the Amazon Spring Sale until it ends at 23:59 on Wednesday, March 29 in the hopes of finding any more bargains. I'm sure we'll be able to dig out one or two.
