Amazon Alexa Birthday Sale: Save on Amazon devices

Check out these top Amazon device deals, on sale for Alexa’s birthday as of Nov. 1:

---

A party is in order, because everyone’s favorite smart assistant, Alexa, is turning seven years old. While Alexa’s birthday isn’t technically until Nov. 6, Amazon is kicking off the celebrations early with deals on pretty much every Alexa-enabled device. We’re talking huge, Black Friday-esque discounts on Echo devices, Fire tablets, Ring home security gadgets, Fire TV sticks, and more.

If you’re already a part of the Alexa-cinematic-universe, the birthday sale is a great opportunity to build out your smart home even further, at a discount. It’s also prime time to scoop up a few holiday gifts before they go out of stock, thanks to supply chain shortages.

Some of these devices are at the lowest prices we’ve ever seen them, so don’t bother waiting until Black Friday and Cyber Monday to bring one home. Read on for the full list of every device on sale right now, plus more details on our top picks.
