Amazon Echo Dot takes top spot as best-selling product this Prime Day

As packages stream out of warehouses, Amazon has released some figures for Prime Day, as they do every year after the big sales event. While last year’s big achievement was simply surpassing the previous year’s Prime Day in sales, this year’s Prime Day surpassed even last Black Friday and Cyber Monday in sales, making yesterday the biggest sales day ever in Amazon history.

Last Prime Day, the best-selling item was the Amazon Fire TV Stick for $24.99 (37% off), but since Fire TV device’s didn’t go on sale for Prime Day this year in the US, the Amazon Echo Dot at $34.99 (30% off) was the best-selling product of the day across Amazon globally. However, the Fire TV line didn’t stay completely out of the limelight, since the Element 55″ Fire TV Edition television at $399.99 (38% off) was the best-selling TV deal in Amazon history, even though it sold out in under 4 hours.

Today’s Fire Tablet deals are great, but the killer savings come with the Fire Tablet Variety Packs [Expired]

Today’s Prime Day Deals on Fire Tablets are lower than any of these tablets have ever been in the past, but the real killer deals come with the available Fire Tablet Variety Packs that Amazon is offering. In the past, there was usually no point to buying the tablet packs because you would end up spending the same amount whether you purchased a pack of tablets or if you purchased them individually. This Prime Day however, Amazon has done tablet packs right and stepped up the savings for buying 2 or 3 Fire tablets at a time. The 3 pack of Fire 7 Tablets is $79.97, which is a savings of $10 over buying them individually at today’s $29.99 sale price. The 2 pack of Fire 7 Kids Edition Tablets are $119.98, which is a savings of $20 over buying them individually at today’s $69.99 price. The 3 pack of Fire HD 8 Tablets is $119.97, which is a savings of $30 over buying them individually at today’s $49.99 sale price. Lastly, the 2 pack of Fire HD 8 Kids Edition Tablets are $149.98, which is also a savings of $30 over buying them individually at today’s $89.99 price. If you’re buying any of the Fire Tablets today, consider buying the multi-packs to get that extra savings. You can try to find a friend or family member to split the tablet pack with, or just save the extra tablets to give as gifts later in the year.

Turn your Echo Dot into a portable speaker like the AmazonTap for less than $40 [Expired]

Can’t decide between the Amazon Echo Dot deal for $34.99 and the Amazon Tap deal for $79.99? Well, you can have the best of both worlds for less than the price of the Amazon Tap. That’s because the VAUX Speaker & Portable Battery for the Echo Dot just went on sale for $39.96. It essentially converts the Echo Dot into an Amazon Tap by adding a speaker and rechargeable battery. I’ve never tried the product myself, so I can’t speak to its quality, but it has a great 4.2 star review rating. It claims to have 6 hours of battery life and includes a pair of 52mm Speaker Drivers. While it’s not as small and sleek as the Amazon Tap, it seems like the ultimate option to have portability coupled with the better far field microphone array in the Echo Dot. A look at the device’s price history reveals it has never been on sale before today. Check out the other Prime Day deals that are now live and check back here often because I’ll be posting the best deals all day as they go live.
