Read more

Prime Day officially kicks off tonight but we’re already getting our first look at what deals Amazon plans on offering. We’ll be sharing all of the best price drops throughout the 30 hour event starting this evening. You’ll want to be sure that you’re following us on Twitter so you don’t miss out, as these deals tend to sell out very quickly. Head below for a quick look at the best deals (so far) from Prime Day 2017.

We knew that Amazon was planning on out-doing itself this year as Prime Day continues to grow into a larger event than ever before. There are a number of ways to prep for the 30-hour sale and you can find all of those tips in our guide right here. Alexa shoppers will be able to grab select deals starting at 7PM ET tonight, which is a two-hour advantage over Prime-only users. This morning, Amazon officially released its Prime Day sneak peak, and while there are a number of deals listed in the press release, here are a few of our favorites.

Unsurprisingly, Amazon will be offering all-time low prices on its Alexa-enabled speakers. The flagship Echo will be receiving a 50% drop to $89.99 (Reg. $180) and Echo Dot will be on sale for $35 (Reg. $50). Amazon also plans to discount its Kindle Paperwhite E-reader and the Fire HD 8 Kids Edition down to $89.99 (up to $40 off). These are expected to be the best prices that you’ll see until Black Friday rolls around this year.

Other notable Prime Day deals include $50 off August Smart Locks, Echo Show Security Bundles marked down by $75, Tile Slim Finders 50% off, and much more. Amazon will be pushing the recently-released 55-inch Element 4K Ultra HDTV with Alexa/Fire OS for $399.99 too. There will also be a selection of TCL offerings and a “55-inch premium brand 4K smart LED TV” for only $599.99.

As we said off the top, Amazon will be kicking off Prime Day tonight at 9PM ET with early access to deals for Alexa shoppers a few hours earlier. We’ll be passing along all of the best deals from the 30-hour event here at 9to5Toys and on Twitter.
