Amazon slashes prices on Ring Alarm Systems and throws in a Free Echo Dot

By

Amazon is getting a fast start with smart home device deals this fall. The pressure builds for sellers and shoppers as Black Friday and Cyber Monday get closer, but you don’t need to wait for the day after Thanksgiving for excellent deals. Amazon and Walmart, in particular, know they can’t save all the best bargains till the end of the season, or too many shoppers would just wait. Amazon’s current video doorbell sale, bundled with free Show 5 smart displays, is an example of a great deal now. Continuing with its winning strategy of cutting prices on smart home security devices, Amazon just slashed prices on Ring Alarm Systems bundled with free Echo Dots.

We’ve found the best discounts on Ring Alarm Systems from Amazon and put them all in one place. These deals all include a third-generation Echo Dot for no extra charge so you could figure each deal saves an additional $50. Whether you’re buying your first smart home device and want to start with a security system, or adding smart components to an already fully- configured smart home, these five deals can help you save up to $90.

You can configure the system to send alerts to the free smartphone app. No contract is required, but if you wish, your system can be professionally monitored with cellular backup and unlimited video recording (with optional security cameras) for just $10 a month after a free trial.

The Amazon Echo Pop is only $23 for Labor Day
The Echo Pop sitting on a countertop.

With Labor Day sales fully underway, we’re excited to see that Target has dropped the price of the consistently popular Amazon Echo Pop to $23. Normally costing $40, the smart speaker is enjoying a $17 discount -- but only until tomorrow, once Labor Day has finished. It’s been slightly cheaper in the past, but not for a while so, this is nearly as good as it gets. If you’re keen to avoid missing out on one of the better Amazon Echo deals around at the moment, you’ll need to jump on this deal quickly. Here’s what it has to offer.

Why you should buy the Amazon Echo Pop
The Amazon Echo Pop is a cute and smaller Alexa which we described as being “perfectly priced”. It’s an even better price when it’s on sale. The least expensive entry into the Alexa ecosystem, the only thing you’ll really miss here is that there’s no aux input, but otherwise it’s a good way to add an Alexa to your home.

Amazon Echo Dot (5th gen) -- $30, was $50

The Amazon Echo Dot (5th gen) is the little smart speaker that could. We reviewed the Amazon Echo Dot (5th gen) with Clock, but the one without a clock is still almost as good. Available in three different colors, the Amazon Echo Dot (5th gen) is the best sounding Echo Dot yet, with an improved audio experience over previous models leading to clearer vocals, deeper bass, and more vibrant sound. It’s able to control smart home devices through your voice and you can even set up routines which are triggered through the built-in motion or indoor temperature sensors. On a simpler level, you can just ask the Amazon Echo Dot (5th gen) for the weather today, to play music, or even to tell you a joke. It’s a fun little companion and takes up hardly any room, easily earning its place as one of the best smart speakers.
