When the sale officially begins, Amazon may provide us with some good (and accessible) equipment transactions.

Echo bud (8/10 Wired recommendation) Provides good sound, and has an excellent application and Alexa integration. Noise reduction is not exactly the same as what you get in Apple and Samsung earbuds, but it is sufficient to block most ambient sounds. They are equipped with a charging case and a variety of earplugs and earplug sizes to ensure comfortable wearing.

Amazon Halo is not a useful fitness tracker, but it can do something that other devices we tested cannot do: track your emotions. WIRED deputy editor Adrienne So found out after wearing it for a month Interesting and ultimately usefulAt the same time, should any company, let alone Amazon, regulate the whole body peel scan process for its customers?

This smart display was released in 2019 and is often on the market.It is not an absolute one The best smart display; We prefer a larger size. The 5-inch screen of this model is more suitable to be placed on a bedside table rather than a kitchen counter or front door entrance. Nevertheless, if the compact design does not bore you, then $45 is the best price we have seen for this model. (The discounted price will be shown in the checkout.)

This transaction allows you to add Alexa to more rooms in your home without spending a lot of money. The fourth generation Echo Dot (8/10, wired recommendation) Is The best Alexa smart speakers.

These routers are very useful if you are in a large or oddly shaped home. They are connected together to extend the strength of Wi-Fi to more parts of the house. You can add as many as you want, but for larger multi-storey houses, three are usually sufficient, and if a single router does not work, two should cover most apartments.

If you prefer Alexa to Google Assistant, this is one of them The best smart plug. Use the Alexa app to set up routines (such as turning on and off box fans) or enable Alexa Guard mode to intermittently power the device and make it look like you are at home. This offer is only applicable to Prime members; the price will be automatically displayed at checkout.

There are two sizes and finishes to choose from, and shipping is free. If you haven’t uploaded the photos you want to print, you need to upload them, but this may be a good way to redecorate the refrigerator (or print out some cheap room decorations).
