Prime Day may be less than 10 days away but deals are hiding in plain sight on Amazon this very second. I've already spotted various home finds marked down for everything ranging from everyday essentials to appliances to grabs for the patio and garden . The other section I realize we might want to give a good once-over before the big sale event is electronics, hands down. Before you roll your eyes, recounting the gadgets you already own, do know that an electronics section with mere markdowns isn't enough to make me spend a dollar or encourage you to spend one.
However, the tech section on Amazon is filled with hidden treasures that make life easier and that reviewers say are easy to set up and use — and that's worth a penny spent.
Check out the top five tech products and accessories on sale at Amazon ahead of Prime Day that I deem are worth snagging right now.
1. 37% off the Insignia 50-inch class F30 Smart FireTV
Step up your living room entertainment experience with this 50-inch Fire TV that operates via Alexa Voice remote. It boasts 4K Ultra HD with a 2160p resolution for a picture so clear, you'll think you jumped inside the TV or the characters jumped into your living room! You'll also get access to over 1 million streaming movies and TV shows. Thanks to the Amazon Echo integration, you can control this TV completely hands-free. Bonus: Several reviewers noted how easy the TV is to set up and use on a regular basis.
Customer review: " I am very pleased with this purchase. We had been considering upgrading to a larger screen with 4k capabilities but didn't want to spend a fortune. Our other TV was also an Insignia so we were familiar with the brand. We never had issues with the older model so when I saw this one on sale during the Prime Day event, I decided to purchase it. So glad we did. The picture quality is great, viewing angle is excellent, the smart functions are easy to navigate and the sound is decent (our other Insignia wasn't spectacular soundwise either so we knew that going in) . Oh, and this thing is big!!! Lol. Pretty lightweight though and slim as it should be." Janie
The Blink Outdoor 4 security set allows you to keep an eye on the complete exterior of your property with a wire-free camera, two-way audio, HD live video, and motion detection. Right now, you can get three Blink outdoor cameras with one Mini 2 indoor camera for complete security.
Got a garage door opener but always forgetting to double-check that you closed it when you're in bed for the night or away from your home? This Chamberlain garage wireless control device can turn any garage door with door openers that have photoelectric sensors manufactured after 1993 (which is like, a load of them). Basically, you can turn your garage door into a smart garage and close it from your phone any time you want using the app. All you need is Wi-Fi to connect the Chamberlain device via Bluetooth.
Customer review: " So we were having trouble with our Xtreme Garage door opener. You would have to press the opener 20 times before it MIGHT open. And recently, it started not opening the door at all. So we decided to try this. It was SUPER easy to install and set up. It only took a few minutes, and I did it alone. When I tell you this thing works well, and works EVERY TIME…!!!! The only thing you really need to be aware of is that when you close the door, a light flashes for like 10 seconds or so before the door closes. So if zombies are chasing you, do not rely on this for safety. But it will open immediately when you press “open”. So at least you can get inside quickly!
Also, it was really easy to send a link to my husband and my brother so that they can use it as well. The only thing I wish it had was a widget so that I didn’t have to pull up the app every time I leave or get home. Oh, and I DO love that I get a notification of the door opening and closing, and it will tell me how long it has been opened or closed. It is extremely convenient!" — Alexa Wickey
Movie nights at your house are about to get way cooler and far bigger! This 15-foot inflatable outdoor movie screen is perfect for enjoying a starry night in your yard with your family, friends, neighbors, and other loved ones. The screen is designed for one person to be able to set it up with ease and comes with a white screen, support frame, high power blower, carry bag, tethers, and a stake. Although that may sound like a lot, the set up is meant to only take 10 minutes!
The screen provides rear or front projection and also, you don't have to worry about bothering your neighbors when you blow it up since the high power blower is quiet.
Customer review: "This screen was so easy to set up! The directions were easy to follow it inflated quickly, the motor isn’t too loud and the size is perfect for our outdoor movie nights! Definitely recommend." — Brittany Shallow
This tablet floor stand is great for watching your tablet, hands-free no matter what you're busy doing around the house. While a simple design, it's easy to maneuver and gives you more flexibility. You can position the stand so it hovers near your bed, over your treadmill, or over your couch while you sit and relax.
Customer review: "This was so easy to put together. It was a game changer. As we all know looking down for long periods of time puts stress on the neck and shoulder. I read 98% of the time and watch TV the rest. So this stand was a blessing to my neck and shoulder. As you see in the video my daughter also got me the page turner which the combo is priceless..." — April Cardenas
