Best Prime Day deals on Amazon devices 2020: Kindle, Fire Stick and Echo dot

Usually, every July Amazon Prime Day kicks off one of the biggest sales of the year with discounts on everything from coffee machines to tablets.

The global pandemic, however, has meant it was postponed and it is now taking place on 13 to 14 October.

Just like in previous years, there will be more than one million deals available from big-name brands including Philips, Toshiba, Lego, Nintendo, Samsung, Under Armour, Sony and Le Creuset, to name just a few.

But what is different this year, is that the retailer is putting a particular focus on small businesses, who have struggled a lot during the past six months.

Prime members who spend £10 with select small businesses from 28 September to 12 October, will earn £10 to spend on Prime Day.

Last year, the retailer said it sold more than 175 million products, dubbing the sale the “largest shopping event in Amazon history,” as it surpassed results from the previous Black Friday and Cyber Monday events combined.

This year is set to be bigger than ever and some of the biggest savings to be found are on its own-brand home devices such as the Echo Dot in all its variations, Kindles and Fire Sticks. And not forgetting its other brands such as Blink and Ring which feature products such as smart doorbells and home security cameras. .

There’s also offers to be enjoyed on Amazon Music, Prime Video and Audible so you can watch film and TV shows, listen to podcasts and enjoy to the latest albums from your favourite musicians, all with generous discounts.

We’ll be bringing all the best deals to you here, so check back for the biggest and best deals to shop.

The discounts aren’t on offer for everyone, instead, they’re exclusively for those who have an Amazon Prime membership.

What were the best Amazon Prime Day deals last year?

Last year, some of the best deals to be found on Prime Day were on Amazon’s own-brand devices, including the Echo Plus (2nd Gen) which dropped from £139.99 to £99.99 and the Echo (2nd Gen) which was down from £89.99 to £54.99.

Kindles and Fire HDMI Sticks saw impressive discounts too. The Amazon Kindle was on sale for £49.99, down from £69.99, while the Fire stick 4K went from £49.99 to £24.99.

Keep your eyes peeled for similar discounts this year as it’s likely there will be even bigger savings to shop on Amazon home devices. What are the best Amazon devices deals available now?
