Amazon's Black Friday sale is filled with cheap tech gadgets from $13 – Kindle, Echo, Fire TV Sticks, and more

This is an excellent gadget for the upcoming holidays - the Amazon smart plug, which can add smart capabilities to any device in your home for just $12.99. With over 500,000 positive reviews on Amazon, the smart plug works seamlessly with Amazon Alexa, allowing you to control lights and appliances with just your voice.

I had to double-check when I saw this price – a staggering 73% off Amazon's handy Echo Auto. If you've ever wanted to add Alexa to your car, the Echo Auto is the device to do it - play music, make calls, and reply to texts completely hands-free.

I've had my eye on the Blink Mini 2 since its release, and now that it's on sale for just $17.99, it's a must-buy. The compact security camera features two-way audio and will alert your phone when motion is detected. The Blink 2 also includes a 1080p HD live view, night view in color with a built-in spotlight, and a wider field of view.

Need a cheap streaming device to add smart capabilities to a TV? The new version of Amazon's standard Fire TV Stick is half-price ahead of Black Friday, bringing the price down to a record low.

As the name suggests, the Fire TV Stick 4K streams shows and movies on your TV in ultra-high definition 4K resolution. Amazon claims the newest Select model is the fastest 4K stick under $40, and it's even cheaper with this Black Friday deal, bringing the price down to just $21.99.

Looking to buy a smart speaker for a small space? Amazon's Black Friday sale includes the all-new Echo Pop for just $21.99 - the cheapest Echo device you can buy right now.

The Echo Spot is already in my shopping cart, and I can't wait for it to arrive. Amazon's brand-new Echo Spot pairs a 2.83-inch touch screen with a 1.73-inch front-firing speaker, making it an ideal smart alarm clock. With Alexa onboard, you can ask the assistant for the weather, play music, or even schedule alarms. Today's Black Friday deal shaves $30 off the retail price.

Amazon's best-selling Echo Show 5 is on sale for only $54.99. The 2023 Echo Show 5 features a compact 5.5-inch display but packs impressive sound with deeper bass and clearer vocals. With Amazon Alexa, you can listen to podcasts, movies, music, and more.

Amazon is offering some spectacular bundle deals this Black Friday, including the standard Battery Video Doorbell and the superb Ring Indoor Cam at half price. This little cam held the number one spot in my guide to the best home security cameras for many months, and it's a steal in this security starter kit.

This might be my favorite Amazon Black Friday deal: Amazon's Fire HD 8 tablet for $54.99, thanks to an impressive 45% discount. While not the most powerful tablet available, the Fire HD 8 has what you need to cover the essentials, including web browsing, sending emails, watching videos, and some light gaming.
