Amazon Eero Pro 6 Mesh Wi-Fi 6 Router

$200

You internet setup lacking oomph? The Eero Pro 6 router can help extend your network across a wider area, even through thick walls.

$200 at Amazon

If you have a big home, then you know the struggles of getting Wi-Fi to the far corners of the house. The Eero Pro 6 Mesh Wi-Fi Router can cover up to 2,000 square feet of space and support more than 75 different devices at once. It's Wi-Fi 6–compatible for the fastest speeds, and you can expand your network as needed to create a more reliable, more secure internet.

"I originally had a Netgear Nighthawk R7000 Triband router, but since I have a two-storey, the rooms at the far back weren’t getting strong signal. The house is 2019 square feet, and even with the antennas (six of them), it still could barely reach the upper rooms. With the Eero Pro 6 mesh system, I only have one SSID and constant coverage. I’ve had absolutely no drops in signal, even with all my devices (seven DirecTV stream boxes, six phones, three tablets, Smart thermostat, Echo Dot, three smart TVs). This was a great buy," one user said.

Ring Video Doorbell Wired

$65

Have you ever dealt with a porch pirate? A video doorbell is your first line of defense against anyone who wants to snatch a package from your steps.

$65 at Amazon

The holiday season just passed, and unfortunately many people found their packages missing from their porches. What's the easiest solution? Installing a video doorbell! Not only does this give you an easy way to greet guests when they arrive (even if you aren't at home), but it provides you with a real-time feed of anything going on around your home.

"We finally got a Ring doorbell when on a great deal over the holidays. The quality is great, and it's so handy to answer the door without getting up. Yes, that is a little lazy but most people are just trying to sell something so I'd rather stay comfy," said one comfy homeowner.

Echo Show 15

$280

The largest of all of Amazon's smart displays, the Echo Show 15 brings new features that no other smart display has.

$280 at Amazon

If we had to recommend a single smart display above all the rest, it would be the Echo Show 15. Between its large size, the ability to display multiple widgets to keep track of your life, and the slew of other features, it's already a great value proposition — but now it even includes Fire TV functions. You can watch all your favorite content while you cook, or even boot up picture-in-picture to view a security camera feed.

"This Echo Show is fantastic. The screen graphics are crisp and clear. Easy to display integrated family calendar, running shopping list, music playlist. It recognizes profiled users and adjust the screen to the user. Add and remove shopping list items using Alexa. Integration with the security doorbell announces to us 'someone at the door' and automatically displays the camera view. We are still learning, but this Show is impressive," one user said.

Amazon Fire TV 43" Omni Series 4K UHD smart TV

$290$410Save $120

More than just a high-resolution TV, this entry in the Omni lineup has a host of other appealing features like built-in Alexa and even two-way video calling (with the right accessory).

$290 at Amazon

If you're looking for an easy-to-use TV, you can't go wrong with the Omni series. Between the support for HDR and Dolby Digital Plus, the 4K resolution, and the easy access to more than one million TV shows and movies, it's a great set-up-and-go set. It comes with a lot of bonus features, too — and right now, it's $120 off.

"Bottom line: This is a great TV. Gaming in 4K and watching movies/shows looks amazing. There are a plethora of options to fine-tune the picture settings," said one happy viewer. "My favorite feature is the Smart-HDR setting which makes SDR look much more detailed and have better contrast. The FireTV OS is my favorite over everything else (Roku, AppleTV). Best purchase I've made in a long time."

Certified Refurbished Echo (4th Gen)

$60$90Save $30

This little speaker is deceivingly robust, with the ability to fill a room with sound and link up with other Echo Dots.

$60 at Amazon

The Echo Dot 4th Gen looks a lot better than the old hockey puck design, but more than that, it produces a surprising volume of sound. You can even link multiple Echo Dots together for a sort of surround sound experience. Plus, if you have the Eero Mesh Router, you can use one of these as a mesh relay to further extend your Wi-Fi through your home.

One user was more than a little impressed. "I still can't believe how good it sounds. We stuck it in our showroom at work for some background music. Before a remodel we had a very expensive sound system that we no longer had room for after the remodel. No regrets as this feels the entire showroom with great sound!"

Amazon

Certified Refurbished Echo Show 5 (1st Gen, 2019 release)

$35$70Save $35

Looking for a smart display on a budget? Try picking up one of the 1st gen Echo Shows.

$35 at Amazon

This pint-sized display is only 5.5 inches on the diagonal, which makes it the perfect choice for use as a bedside unit. You can glance over to see the time, get a read on the temperature outside, and much more. It can even be used for video calls!

"So, we have these in every bedroom, the kitchen, living room and balcony. I love the connectivity that it offers. The voice recognition can be kinda trying when you say 'Alexa' and every device, phone and even the Fitbit responds but hey, that's the cost of having a smart home," one five-star reviewer said. "I might buy a weatherproof after-market case for the balcony device, but so far its been at least 18 months and there's no problem. I like to connect to the Ring camera and watch my bird feeders."

If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
