While we prepare for Amazon Prime Day 2019 (which starts on July 15), we're taking a look at last year's most popular smart home deals and what we can expect for this year's 48-hour event.
Smart home products are always a popular category during the July sale with massive price cuts on Amazon devices, kitchen appliances, security cameras, robot vacuums, and more.
Last year's Prime Day, the Instant Pot pressure cooker was a Prime Day best seller, rounding out the top five products sold in the US. We expect to see price cuts this year on the cooking appliance with first-time discounts on newer models and significant savings on its popular model, the Instant Pot Duo60. The Duo60 was on sale last year for $58.99, which was the lowest price we've seen for the pressure cooker. The pressure cooker is currently on sale for $79.95 and could go as low as $55.99 for Prime Day.
Instant Pot DUO60, 6 Qt Pressure Cooker $99.95 $79.95 at Amazon
Always a best-selling during big sale events, the six-quart Instant Pot is currently on sale for $79.95. The pressure cooker combines nine kitchen appliances in one and works with Amazon Alexa.

Amazon's Echo speaker has been another hot-selling item in past Prime Day sales, discounted down to $69.99. The Echo smart speaker is currently on sale for that same amount, so we hope to see a record-low price for the Alexa-enabled device on Prime Day.
Another Amazon device we expect to see discounted on Prime Day is the Cloud Cam security camera. The smart camera works with Alexa and was recently on sale for $89.99. Last year the price was down to $59.99, so we hope to see Prime Day match that price or go even lower.
Echo (2nd Generation) Smart Speaker $99.99 $69.99 at Amazon
The popular Amazon device is currently on sale for $69.99. The smart speaker produces powerful sound and works with Amazon Alexa to answer questions, play music and control other smart home devices.
