Updated November 27: We’ve refreshed this guide for Cyber Monday with a new Luna cloud gaming deal, a note on Ring Doorbells, some navigation to better move around the page, and link and pricing tweaks throughout for accuracy. We test products year-round and handpicked these deals. Products that are sold out or no longer discounted as of publishing will be crossed out. We’ll update this guide through Cyber Monday.

The bright 6.8-inch screen has adjustable warm lighting, and it’s waterproof–which makes it a great option if you like to read in the bathtub, by the pool, or at the beach. It’s back to the lowest price we’ve tracked since last year. It charges via USB-C. This is the 16-GB model, which we recommend since the 8-GB model has half the storage but only costs $5 less. The Paperwhite Signature Edition (8/10, WIRED Recommends) comes with a few more features than the standard Paperwhite. The page turn is faster, the display automatically adjusts brightness based on the lighting in your environment, and there’s more storage (the Signature version has 32 gigabytes and the standard has 8 gigabytes). It’s a great option if you listen to a lot of audiobooks. For a more luxurious experience, the Kindle Oasis is the way to go. It has a large 7-inch display with auto-adjust brightness, an aluminum body, speedy performance, and tactile page-turn buttons (the only Kindle with physical page-turn buttons). It’s also waterproof. The Fire HD 10 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is our favorite Fire tablet. It has a bright screen, good battery life, and enough RAM to guarantee smooth performance. We also like the HD 10 With Bluetooth Keyboard, which is also on sale for $160 ($35 off). You’ll get a free year of Microsoft 365, and it’s an ideal setup for getting some light work done. If you can spend the extra cash, go for the Fire HD 10 Plus. It has the same 10.1-inch screen and 1080-pixel resolution, but it comes with 4 gigabytes of RAM instead of 3 GB, which makes performance a little bit smoother overall when you use multiple apps. It also supports wireless charging, so you can use a dock like this and never have to plug it in. We previously never recommended Fire 7 tablets because they were too slow, but this updated model changes things. It comes with a more powerful processor, longer battery life (charges via a USB-C port), and double the RAM. The SD card also now supports up to 1 terabyte of storage. It’s a nice mini slate to tote around, though you should still spring for the Fire HD 8 if you can. For young children, there’s also the new Fire 7 Kids tablet—with a 30 percent faster processor. WIRED reviewer Scott Gilbertson says his kids have always found the 7-inch screen size challenging to use. But if a smaller display isn’t an issue, then it’s a good option. The Fire HD 10 Kids Pro is great for older children since it’s bigger. Kids can also request to install apps from the app store for parents to manually approve. The case it comes with is also less bulky. The Fire TV Stick 4K doesn’t have Wi-Fi 6 support and has slightly less internal memory, so performance won’t be as buttery smooth, but it’s still a great stick (especially since you need a Wi-Fi 6 router to take advantage of those faster speeds on the Fire TV Stick 4K Max). Those who don’t own a 4K TV and have no desire to make the switch can opt for the Fire TV Stick Lite, which works great for standard HD TVs. We’ve tested earlier HD models and had access to all the major streaming apps. You’ll also get a simpler version of the Alexa remote—with no TV power button, volume controls, or branded buttons for apps like Netflix (you’ll need a separate app for that). You won’t be able to control content with voice commands either.

Even though it’s one of the slower systems we’ve tested (at longer distances), it still offers fairly wide coverage and a stable connection. This one comes with one Eero 6 router and two Eero 6 extenders. If you want something slightly faster in the Eero family, the Eero Pro 6 is also on sale for $148 ($81 off). These Pro routers and nodes come with the same simplicity as the Eero 6 system. But they’re bigger and can accommodate faster speeds and an extra 5 GHz band, which helps it manage simultaneous streams from more connected devices. We only recommend upgrading if you have a fast connection above 500 Mbps from your internet service provider. The Halo View received an honorable mention in our Best Fitness Trackers guide. It’s comfortable and affordable, and its companion app is easy to use. It’s also at the lowest price we’ve seen yet. WIRED senior associate editor Adrienne So isn’t a fan of how it tells you to strip down in your underwear to measure body fat composition (and how it pushes business partnerships). We’re still in the process of testing the Blink Video Doorbell, but we gave it an honorable mention in our Best Video Doorbell Cameras guide. It’s not only affordable, but it also works with Alexa and comes in both a tethered and battery-powered version. This bundle includes two of Blink’s outdoor cameras, which will give you broader coverage around your home (other bundles are on sale as well). This one is the lowest price we’ve tracked. For the best sound, we recommend the Echo Studio, with 350 watts of power, a downward-firing subwoofer, an upward-firing midrange speaker, and two side-facing ones. It’ll both listen and adjust the sound accordingly depending on the space. You can buy and pair two of these for a soundbar-like experience. Read our tips on how to secure your smart speaker to preserve your privacy. The latest Echo Dot comes equipped with a new custom full-range driver for improved sound and a sensor that triggers Alexa to perform a task based on the room’s temperature (like turning on your smart fan when the room gets too warm). (It’s still not the best option if your primary use is to play music.) With gesture control, you can now dismiss a timer or control music by simply tapping the top of the Dot. The new Echo Dot With Clock is also on sale for $40 ($20 off). If you want a larger screen, the Echo Show 10 has a 10-inch smart display that also swivels almost 360 degrees (which can follow you while you’re on a video call or when viewing a recipe). You’ll also get better audio quality. We criticized the Echo Show 5 for its small screen because it’s a bit too cramped to navigate comfortably. But that doesn’t rule it out as a good option if you want a compact smart display for your nightstand. It also has a physical mute button and a camera shutter for privacy. It dipped lower during the Prime Early Access Sale, but this is still a solid deal. These buds (8/10, WIRED Recommends) have dipped to this price before, but it’s still a great deal. They’re easy to pair, have good sound, and come with a wireless charging case along with multiple size options for ear tips. You’ll also basically have Alexa right in your ear to help you with any task. Its noise cancellation isn’t the best, and touch controls can be triggered by sweaty hair during workouts.
