Yahoo News Best Amazon Cyber Monday deals 2021: Today’s top discounts on toys, tablets, games and more
Cyber Monday 2021 is finally here. Although Amazon dropped a huge range of deals a whopping three weeks in advance of Black Friday – where we saw discounts of up to 45 per cent off across every category, including Amazon devices, TVs, gaming, laptops, home appliances, beauty products, kids’ toys and a whole lot more – the sale is now coming to a close.
But, there are still some amazing offers to be had. In addition to impressive savings on big-ticket items such as the Nintendo Switch, Fitbit and Apple iPads, the retailer is also offering deals on its own streaming services, including Prime and Amazon Music. More of a bookworm? Then now is the time to sign up to Audible because new customers can get three months of membership for just 99p – but the offer is only available until tomorrow, so you’ll need to act fast.

The best Amazon Cyber Monday 2021 deals to shop now
Best Amazon own device deals
Amazon Echo dot, 3rd gen: Was £39.99, now £18.99, Amazon.co.uk
Amazon’s Echo dot speakers are some of the hottest items during the Cyber Weekend, partly because the online giant slashes the price of its own-brand products by a ridiculously large amount. And this third-generation model currently has a whopping 53 per cent off. In our review of the latest Echo dot, our tester said of the range: “Amazon’s smart speakers are wildly popular, with good reason: Alexa is easy to set up, simple to navigate and the speakers themselves are of a high quality.” But, you will have to wait a little while to get your hands on the Echo dot, as it won’t be back in stock until 6 December.
Amazon fire HD 8 tablet, 8in HD display, 32 GB, black: Was £89.99, now £39.99, Amazon.co.uk
There are still plenty of cracking deals to be snapped up this Cyber Monday, and this one’s a corker – a whopping 56 per cent of Amazon’s fire HD 8 tablet. Said to be faster and more responsive – and with twice the storage of its predecessor – the handheld’s battery has also had an upgrade, surviving up to 12 hours on one charge. While we haven’t tested this exact model, the fire HD 8 plus did land a spot in our best tablets review – describing the fire tablet family as “solid and powerful”, our tester noted the “higher-resolution display which makes it the perfect video playback tablet for the commute…”.
Amazon Fire TV stick 4K max: Was £54.99, now £36.99, Amazon.co.uk
“Amazon’s Fire TV collection has been at the forefront of streaming since the first product arrived on the site in early 2014,” noted our writer in our round-up of the best Android TV boxes. Our tester praised this model for being “very smart” and found that navigation was “smooth”, with apps opening “almost immediately”. It is also “probably the best-value mainstream streaming device on the market”, and with the current Cyber Monday saving, it’s even more pocket-friendly.
Ring video doorbell, 2nd gen: Was £89, now £67, Amazon.co.uk
If you’re looking to upgrade your at-home security then Ring is the brand to know. While we’re yet to test this exact device, the slightly more advanced Ring video doorbell 3 plus (£159, Amazon.co.uk) took the top spot in our guide to the best video doorbells, with our writer noting that “the clarity of the two-way talk was excellent”. A key similarity between the devices is the 1080p HD video – one of the many features our tester praised in their review. Clearly, Ring is a brand to trust, so snap up this deal while you still can. But only order it today if you don’t need it in a hurry, as right now the estimated dispatch date is between 2-4 months, meaning you won’t be getting your hands on your new doorbell until anywhere from January to March.
Amazon Echo show 8, 2nd gen: Was £119.99, now £79.99, Amazon.co.uk
If you’re after one of Amazon’s smart displays, then the second-generation Amazon Echo show 8 currently has £40 off this Cyber Monday. The newest model, released just a few months ago, was lavishly praised by our tech writer, who said that the latest model is now the “go-to device for those looking for an Amazon smart display”. It has an ambient-sensing screen, a home-monitoring feature, an upgraded processor and a better 13-megapixel camera. And for those conscious about their privacy, well, “it has less intrusive panning and zooming tracking features than the Echo show 10”. Big win
Amazon Echo dot, 4th gen: Was £49.99, now £28.99, Amazon.co.uk
One of Amazon’s bestselling home devices, this smart speaker currently has 42 per cent off for Cyber Monday. Promising crisp vocals and balanced bass, you can use it to listen to music and the radio while also controlling your entertainment by asking it to play tunes, podcasts and audiobooks from streaming services. The device earned a spot in our round-up of the best smart speakers, with our reviewer saying Alexa is "easy to set up, simple to navigate and the speakers themselves are of a high quality". But, again this one may not be the best Christmas present option as although you can buy it today, Amazon won’t have any in stock until mid-December.
Amazon Fire HD 10 kids pro tablet: Was £199.99, now £109.99, Amazon.co.uk
Amazon has an impressive range of kid-friendly devices and this one is the retailer’s latest offering. Having reviewed this model, we can confirm it’s “hard to fault”, with our writer noting that “it’s fun, easy to use and with the comprehensive parental controls and decent guarantees, it’s basically hassle-free, and all encased in some pretty decent, grown-up tech”. With such high praise, and 45 per cent off, it could be a good investment, but you may be spotting a theme here with the Amazon own-brand products. It looks like this tablet won’t be in stock until the beginning of January 2022 – so if you’re after a bargain it’s great news, but if you’re after it before Christmas, then you will be disappointed.
Amazon Echo show 5, 2nd gen: Was £74.99, now £39.99, Amazon.co.uk
You can save nearly 50 per cent right now on Amazon’s popular Echo show 5 device. Not just your run-of-the-mill smart speaker, the device also enables you to video chat, make calls, set alarms, watch movies and more. The compact 5.5in display is perfect for streaming your favourite TV shows or catching up on the news, while access to everything from Prime Video to Netflix means you’re always up to date with the latest releases. If you need further convincing, when our writer reviewed the device for a previous version of our round-up of the best smart speakers, they praised the “front-facing camera, making it great for video calls” and added that the “the screen is useful for visual indications of everything from the weather to sports results”.
Amazon Echo dot kids, 4th gen: Was £59.99, now £33.99, Amazon.co.uk
With a nearly 50 per cent saving on Amazon’s own Echo dot kids device, there’s no better time to invest in a smart speaker for your little one. In our review of the savvy gadget, our writer praised the vast amount of content available thanks to the Amazon Kids+ subscription, as well as the advanced parental controls. “It’s incredibly cute, and there’s enough content on Amazon Kids to keep even the most inquisitive child happy almost endlessly,” they said.
Amazon Echo buds with charging case, 2nd gen: Was £129.99, now £99.99, Amazon.co.uk
Newly launched and a noticeable step up from Amazon’s original Echo buds, this second-generation, pocket-friendly pair are smaller, more lightweight, sweat-resistant and fine in light rain. There are also four earbud sizes and two wing-tip sizes for increased comfort, and they now feature noise cancellation (unlike their predecessors). Battery life is also strong with five hours of playback on a single charge while the case gives you two extra charges – totalling 15 hours of playback. Right now, you can save more than 20 per cent.
Best Amazon gaming deals
HTC Vive cosmos VR headset: Was £699, now £619, Amazon.co.uk
Can you hear that? It’s the loud, completely virtual jingle jangle of the metaverse, and it’s the future. If you want to get ready for it, then HTC’s Vive cosmos VR headset is currently on sale at Amazon, who has kindly knocked more than £200 off its recommended retail price. The PC-tethered headsets features inside-out tracking, a six-camera tracking faceplate and a crisp 3.4in 2880 x 1700 resolution LCD display. With an ever-growing catalogue of VR games on Steam and the Viveport, you’ll always have a virtual world to fight boredom.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (PS5): Was £44.99, now £16.99, Amazon.co.uk
We can certainly feel the force with this one – you can now save 62 per cent on the latest Star Wars release thanks to the Cyber Monday sale, now just £16.99. Having just escaped the Jedi purge, you’ll be traversing the galaxy, exploring ancient landscapes and drawing on new found powers, to defeat the empire and rebuild the Jedi order. Your mission awaits.
Turtle Beach recon 70 gaming headset: Was £29.71, now £19, Amazon.co.uk
If you’re looking for an entry-level gaming headset that won’t break the bank, look no further than the Turtle Beach recon 70, which featured in our round-up of the best gaming headsets. “While there’s no memory foam support, the ear cushions feel good and the 40mm drivers go some way to ensure you still get an immersive experience, able to spot where someone is coming from via sounds,” our writer said in their review. And because it’s wired, it’ll work with your PS5, PS4, Xbox series X, Xbox one, Nintendo Switch, PC and basically anything with a headphone jack. Plus, it has a mic that’s easy to flip up. Simple yet effective.
Best Amazon home appliance deals
Lumie zest: Was £150, now £104.99, Amazon.co.uk
Put a spring in your step and some oomph in your boomph this winter with the Lumie zest, a SAD lamp that doubles as a sunrise-simulating alarm clock. SAD lamps mimic the intensity and wavelengths of natural daylight to trick your body into believing that it isn’t pitch dark outside at three in the afternoon, which has been shown to help alleviate tiredness and improve the mood of those with seasonal affective disorder. The Lumie zest can also gently wake you up in the mornings by slowly increasing the intensity of the lamp, simulating a natural sunrise. We featured it our list of the best alarm clocks.
Tower xpress pro T17039 vortx digital air fryer: Was £119.99, now £73.99, Amazon.co.uk
If you’re looking to cook up a healthy storm, then an air fryer is the answer. This featured in our review of the best, with our writer praising the rotisserie chicken, “which was cooked to perfection in under an hour”. It has other talents besides air frying, including its ability to “bake, roast or dehydrate”, and features three separate mesh racks for cooking different foods at any one time. A great all-rounder.
Shark upright vacuum cleaner NV602UK lift-away: Was £249.99, now £159, Amazon.co.uk
When Mrs Hinch recommends a cleaning brand, it’s good practice to listen up. And now’s the time to save on this Shark vacuum. While we’re yet to review this exact model, a similar one was highly commended in our review of the best pet vacuum cleaners, with our writer praising it for being a “versatile machine”. A key similarity between the two is the lift-away technology that allows the cylinder to disconnect from the body of the vacuum – something our tester found allowed for “more flexibility” when it came to cleaning hard-to-reach spots.
Shark cordless handheld vacuum cleaner: Was £129.99, now £98.99, Amazon.co.uk
This handheld vacuum will reach all the nooks and crannies when you’re in need of a quick clean-up. It charges while it’s stored and gives you up to eight minutes of cleaning time per charge. Plus it comes equipped with crevice and pet hair tools, too. Our reviewer liked that a similar Shark model was “wonderfully lightweight, making it easy to wield in a cramped car” in our guide to the best handheld vacuum cleaners.
Best Amazon tech deals
Apple AirPods pro: Was £239, now £185, Amazon.co.uk
Apple AirPods pro are pretty pricey but, thanks to Amazon’s Cyber Monday sale, you can snap them up for a fraction of the cost. In our review of the earbuds, our tester said they “are a high-end pair of earphones that are difficult to find much fault in”. Retaining a similar design to the original AirPods (was £119, now £116, Amazon.co.uk), they feature Apple’s signature glossy white finish but come with three different sized silicone eartips, so you can find the perfect fit for you. As for the noise quality, our tester added that “it’s a sound topped by few rivals,” with an impressive active noise-cancelling function that shuts out ambient noise.
Microsoft Surface go 2, 10in tablet: Was £529, now £419.99, Amazon.co.uk
Microsoft’s budget tablet is a gorgeous portable device that – unlike the rival iPad and Galaxy tab – runs a full-fat version of Windows and so is compatible with all of the same apps, programs and software you can use on your desktop machine. The Surface go 2 appeared in our list of the best tablets in 2021, where our reviewer described how it can “double as a laptop if you add the type cover (was £124.99, Amazon.co.uk), a sturdy keyboard that fits to the front of the tablet and is sold separately.” The more advanced Surface go 3 launched recently, which is why you can pick up last year’s version so cheaply today.
Apple Watch series 6 with GPS, 44mm, aluminium: Was £409, now £359.99, Amazon.co.uk
In the market for a new fitness tracker? Amazon is currently offering £49 off the 2020 Apple Watch series 6 with the aluminium casing and a navy sports band. This GPS model lets you take calls, reply to texts and get directions while out and about, although you’ll still need your iPhone close by. It also has a blood oxygen sensor and an ECG monitor, and it’s got an always-on display that Apple says is two times brighter outdoors than the previous series 5.
Google nest security camera indoor: Was £129, now £69.99, Amazon.co.uk
Enjoy peace of mind while away from home with the Nest indoor security camera. Connecting to Google’s cloud servers so you can take a look at what’s happening (or not happening, ideally) while you’re out and about anywhere in the world. The camera features in our round-up of the best security cameras, where our reviewer praised its intelligent microphone that “can listen for sounds such as glass breaking”. Night-vision is built into this version and there’s no need for fiddly hub boxes or installation, just grab the Nest app on your phone to be connected to your home 24/7. Pay monthly for Nest Aware and you can unlock bonus features such as archived recordings.
Best Amazon TV deals
Sony Bravia KE65A8/P 65in OLED TV: Was £2,399, now £1,699, Amazon.co.uk
The Bravia range from Sony is well respected for its premium design and quality. In fact, we’ve named the Bravia product as the “best for audio” in our round-up of the best 4K televisions on the market at the moment. This TV features Sony’s X1 Ultimate processor powering the device’s 4K HDR image –meaning there’s dedicated hardware ensuring the best possible picture is delivered. Sony’s clever acoustic surface audio design means that the sound is coming straight from the screen too – invisible vibrations make sure that there’s an exemplary match between what you hear and what you see on-screen.
Samsung QE32LS03TCUXXU ‘the frame’ 32in QLED smart TV: Was £599, now £341.10, Amazon.co.uk
Exclusive to Samsung, the frame is designed to blend into the background when not in use and looks at its absolute best when mounted flush to a wall, preferably with some clever wire-disguising. It uses light sensors to detect ambient conditions and gently adjusts the brightness and temperature of the artwork displayed on screen to create the impression of a painting. Per pixel QLED lighting means the screen can be completely black in a dark room, enhancing the illusion when the TV is off and creating impressive, immersive contrast when used for watching TV and movies.
Best Amazon laptop deals
Microsoft surface laptop 4, 13.5in: Was £999, now £779, Amazon.co.uk
The surface laptop 4 is a delight to work on thanks to its stylish design, premium finish and sharp display. The laptop appears in our round-up of the best laptops of 2021, and in our full review our tester was suitably impressed by its performance, describing the device as “as near-to-perfect a Windows experience as you can find”. Right now, the entry-level configuration of this top-rated laptop has £220 off at Amazon’s Cyber Monday event.
Apple MacBook pro, 14in, M1 Pro, 2021, 16GB RAM, 512GB storage: Was £1,899, now £1,799, Amazon.co.uk
If you’re looking for the latest and greatest MacBook pro with the new M1 Pro chip, then look no further. Amazon is serving up Apple’s new 14in laptop with a sizeable £100 discount, despite it only launching a little more than a month ago. “Apple’s new MacBook pro is a radical update, from the slick, classy design to the rethought keyboard and eye-poppingly brilliant display,” our writer said in their review. “What we want is a laptop that does everything at speed, without delay, has strong battery life and an immersive display. The new MacBook pro does all of the above with aplomb, better than any laptop we’ve used before, from any manufacturer. It is a country mile ahead of the competition.”
Best Amazon beauty deals
St. Tropez self tan express bronzing gel: Was £33, now £14.96, Amazon.co.uk
Top up your winter tan and grab 55 per cent off with this St. Tropez steal. Vegan-friendly, it has a one-hour developing time and the translucent gel formula is infused with hyaluronic acid. An IndyBest favourite, our reviewer put it in the top spot in our best fake tans guide, noting that it is “non-sticky”, “blends effortlessly” and “feels ultra hydrating”. Meanwhile, we rated the St.Tropez x Ashley Graham (was £38, now £25, Amazon.co.uk) ultimate glow kit as best to apply, and it’s also currently reduced.
Panasonic premium wet and dry 4-blade electric shaver: Was £159.99, now £47.21, Amazon.co.uk
We reviewed a similar model in our round-up of the best wet and dry shavers and are always impressed by the power and smooth shave that Panasonic delivers. Complete with four blades and a flexible head for a comfortable and neat shave on the face, this skin-friendly shaver is designed to adapt to the contours of the skin, by ensuring minimal irritation. With a 70 per cent discount, this is a stellar deal.
Revlon one-step hair dryer and volumiser: Was £79.99, now £49.99, Amazon.co.uk
Taking the top spot in our round-up of the best hot air brushes, there’s a reason Revlon’s one-step went viral on TikTok last year. A two-in-one styling tool that gives the power of a dryer and the volume of a styler, our tester said the brush is simple to use and can be used on all hair lengths. “We loved the way the Revlon one-step dryer and volumiser dried and styled our hair with such ease – its bristles glided through our hair and left us with a salon-worthy blow-dry at an affordable price,” they said. This deal is on a special-edition red model.
Oral-B smart 4 electric toothbrush with smart pressure sensor: Was £199.99, now £69.99, Amazon.co.uk
Nearly all dentists recommend the use of an electric toothbrush, which is why we reviewed the best electric toothbrushes available to buy right now. While this set didn’t feature in our top ten we did review several similar options and think it’s a worthy addition to your Cyber Monday basket. You get two electric toothbrushes included both of which have app connected handles and several settings which span teeth whitening and pressure control to a sensitive option.
Best Amazon sport and fitness deals
Fitbit versa 2 smartwatch: Was £199.99, now £99, Amazon.co.uk
Here at IndyBest, we love a Fitbit. And although this exact model didn’t feature in our best Fitbit round-up, its sister models did, and we also did an in-depth review of the newer versa 3. Sharing a number of the same functions, including built-in Amazon Alexa, continuous heart-rate monitoring, sleep tracking and real-time exercise stats, for those not obsessed with having the latest bit of tech, this could be a great option. Currently on sale with 50 per cent off, this exciting offer will only last for 13 days.
What is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday is the last day of sale prices before Christmas, so it’s your last chance to bag a bargain.
Originally the phrase described the day when web sales would peak ahead of the festive season, but now it’s become another sale event and serves as a great opportunity to find deals you may have missed out on during Black Friday.
