Amazon has sweet Valentine’s Week deals on Echo, Ring, Fire, Fire TV, and Kindle

Heading into Valentine’s Week, Amazon just served up a full menu of special deals on Amazon Echo devices, Ring security and lighting products, Fire tablets, Fire TVs, and Kindle e-readers.

Among the 36 deals below you’ll find two-pack and three-pack bargains and device bundles in every category. Most of the products are available for immediate shipping — if there’s an announced delay we mention it in the brief deal write-up. Note that Digital Trends has observed that Amazon seems to be overly cautious in its “back in stock” dates and devices are often available sooner.

For example, the third-generation Amazon Echo Dot continues to sell way above expectations. Deals that include a Dot will come later — but Amazon structured them to make it worth the wait. One product, the Amazon Echo Auto doesn’t even have an official launch date, but you can pre-order now at a 50-percent discount and you won’t be charged until the device ships.

With savings ranging from $10 to $140 and discounts of up to 50 percent, this is an opportunity to check out a wide range of Amazon device deals to snap up something special for your Valentine, or maybe to treat yourself.

Amazon Echo devices

A recent Computer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) study determined that Amazon Echo smart speakers have a 70-percent market share in the U.S., leading Google Home (24 percent) and Apple HomePod (6 percent). Echo smart speakers come in a range of form factors but you can talk with Alexa and control your smart home device with any of them.

Ring Security Systems and Ring Smart Lighting

Amazon-owned Ring may be most known for its video doorbells, but Ring also sells security systems and introduced a smart lighting line at CES 2019.

Ring Alarm 5 Piece Kit + Echo Dot (3rd Gen) — $90 off


Ring security systems all build on the Alarm 5-Piece Kit, which includes an alarm, a keypad, a motion detector, one contact sensor, and a wireless range extender.  Amazon has bundled the basic system, the Alarm 5-Piece Kit and a third-generation Echo Dot. Separately the two items list for $249, so the Valentine’s Week $159 price is a huge saving. The only issue is that due to the Dot’s late availability, the bundle won’t be in stock until March 3.

Fire Tablets

Amazon isn’t offering deals on single Fire Tablet orders. There are, however, compelling discounts on 3-packs — which works if you want to group buy to split the cost with friends or if you’re buying for your family or colleagues. There’s also an attractively priced bundle with the Fire HD 8 and the Show Mode Charging Dock.

Fire 7 Tablet with Alexa — $40 off for a 3-pack


The Fire 7 Tablet with Alexa is Amazon’s entry-level tablet, and even at $50 still seems like an excellent buy. However, if you have uses for three Fire 7s, instead of $150 you can buy a 3-pack for just $110. In stock now.

Fire HD 8— $60 off for a 3-pack


The All-New Fire HD 8 Tablet is arguably the most versatile of the three Fire tablets. It has an HD screen, as does the Fire HD 10, but the Fire HD 8 is a more recent update. The Fire HD 8 supports Show Mode, which means you can stream video to it and use it as a smart display with Amazon Echo devices.

Normally priced at $80 each, or $240 for three, the Fire HD 8 3-pack is just $160 during this sale. This deal is in stock and ready to ship.

Fire HD 10— $120 off for a 3-pack


The largest Amazon tablet, the Fire HD 10 has a 1080p display and 32GB storage. Single units are $150, but instead of $450, you can buy a Fire HD 10 3-pack for $330, a $120 savings. Available now.

All-New Fire HD 8 Tablet and Show Mode Charging Dock— $10 off


You don’t need the dock included with the All-New Fire HD 8 Tablet and Show Mode Charging Dock bundle in order to use the tablet in Show Mode, but in addition to keeping the tablet’s battery topped off, the Show Mode Charging Dock automatically puts the tablet in Show Mode for use with video doorbells, security cameras, and more. Usually $120 for the two components, this bundle deal price is just $110. It’s in stock and available for shipping.

Fire TV

You can buy a device to access Amazon’s Fire TV streaming video platform in several formats, ranging from thumbdrive-sized USB dongles to 55-inch Fire TVs with the platform built in. All Fire TV deals are in stock and ready to ship except the Fire Stick and Echo Dot bundle, which is expected to be back in stock February 23.

Fire TV Stick 4K — $15 off when you buy a 2-pack


The Fire TV Stick 4K is Amazon’s latest and most powerful streaming media stick. Now with an integrated Wi-Fi antenna for the best possible performance with dense 4K video content, the Fire TV Stick 4K also includes a separate Alexa Voice Remote, now with television power and volume control.

Fire TV Recast (DVR) bundle with Fire TV Stick 4K and an HD antenna — $50 off


If you cut the cord (cable) to save money with over-the-air (OTA) broadcasts and streaming media, part of the decision likely involved giving up the convenience of a digital video recorder (DVR) for scheduled television show recording and to view at your convenience. Amazon’s Fire TV Recast (DVR) bundle with Fire TV Stick 4K and an HD antenna includes all the components you need to stream OTA network broadcasts and record live TV shows. The Recast has two tuners for simultaneously recording two programs with a capacity of 500 GB or approximately 75 hours of HDTV. Note: you cannot record streaming content from platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime. Normally priced at $300 for the separate components, the Fire TV Recast (DVR) bundle with Fire TV Stick 4K and an HD antenna is just $250 during this sale.

Fire TV Cube bundle with Cloud Cam — $40 off


Pairing the Fire TV Cube with Amazon’s Cloud Cam may seem odd, but here’s why the bundled deal makes sense. You can tell Alexa to direct the Cloud Cam to stream live content to the television connected to the Fire TV Cube. The Cube is both a streaming media device and an Alexa smart speaker. For Valentine’s Week Amazon cut the Fire TV Cube and Cloud Cam bundle to $200, reduced from the normal $240 price. The components are in stock and ready to ship.

Everything you need to know about Amazon Ring Alarm Pro
Amazon's ring alarm pro behind table.

One of the standout announcements at Amazon's September event was the new Ring Alarm Pro. This version of the Ring Alarm builds on the previous Ring Alarm to deliver significantly improved performance, more features, and even a built-in Wi-Fi router.
Design

The Ring Alarm Pro has a more utilitarian design than anything else. It's a square box just under seven inches across, with a height of just under 3 inches. The device uses a rechargeable, internal battery for backup, but is typically plugged in through a standard power adapter. In Low Power Mode, the Ring Alarm Pro can operate for up to 24 hours on its battery charge.

Amazon Echo vs. Apple HomePod: Which has better speakers?
The Amazon Echo 4 on a counter.

If you haven't jumped into the smart speaker pool, it’s probably because it’s a tough decision. Choosing a smart speaker isn't just about picking a model with the best sound quality or the color that matches your living room. Smart speakers also have major smart home control properties and can play nicely with some music services, streaming TV channels (if you opt for a speaker with a screen), or home security systems.

A smart speaker opens the door for expanding your smart home portal. Since most of us won’t buy a smart home speaker to work with a Ring Video Doorbell and another to manage Apple’s HomeKit via your iPhone, you'll want to choose carefully. For a lot of buyers, that comes down to a choice between Apple HomePod or Amazon Echo (and if you're short on space it might just be HomePod Mini versus Echo Dot).

How to get Alexa to answer a Ring Video Doorbell
Ring Video Doorbell Pro with two-way talk

A Ring Video Doorbell is ultra-convenient; it lets you receive packages or respond to deliveries from anywhere in your home -- or anywhere in the world using the built-in camera and the Ring app.

You may also know that you can have Amazon’s Alexa smart speaker devices alert you to a doorbell ring -- and even show you who’s there. But if you want to take this a step further, you can actually have Alexa respond for you if you’re too busy to run to the door from your home office, or if you’re on the phone and can’t respond to the Ring Doorbell notification. Here’s how to get Alexa to answer your Ring Video Doorbell.
Smart Responses include Alexa Greetings
Smart Responses are a feature of Ring Video Doorbells that let you respond in the right way to whoever’s at the door, when you can’t do it yourself. Quick Replies, for example, let you allow visitors to leave a video message on the Ring Video Doorbell that you can view later. Alexa Greetings are a relatively new Smart Response feature where Alexa greets your visitor, takes a message, or provides instructions on what to do with a package.
What to know about Alexa Greetings on Ring Video Doorbell
Alexa Greetings is optional on Ring Video Doorbells and for now is only available to customers in the U.S. with compatible versions of the Ring Video Doorbell Pro. You also must be opted in to Ring’s Protect home security and cloud recording plan. They’ve been rolling it out in stages starting earlier on 2021 so it may or may not be available in your area.
