The Amazon Smart Plug falls to only $13 for Prime Day

If you're looking for an ultra-affordable away to make a part of your home a little smarter, look no further than the Amazon Smart Plug. Prime Day deals have brought the IoT device down to just $13, which is 48 percent off its regular price. Amazon's accessory made it onto our list of the best smart plugs and it's particularly good for anyone who's already relying heavily on Alexa as their voice assistant. It plus into any outlet and can turn common items like lamps and coffee makers into "smart" ones by letting you control them with voice commands, set usage schedules and more. This is a record-low price. $13 at Amazon It's extremely easy to set up and use, particularly for folks who have some experience with the Alexa app. It doesn't require a smart home hub, as the app itself handles adjustments. The compact design also ensures there's room for another plug in a standard two-outlet fixture. The plug will automatically reconnect to Alexa after a power or Wi-Fi outage. We came away impressed with some of the features here. The app allows users to create routines, and we got a small thrill by saying "Alexa, goodnight" and watching everything power down for the evening. The major drawback here is the app's lack of sharing capabilities.

Opens in a new window Credit: Fitbit Fitbit Sense 2 $199.95 at Amazon $249.95 Save $50.00 Get Deal The most advanced smartwatch in the Fitbit lineup, the Sense 2 is a whole lot more than just a step counter. Its design is a bit Apple-esque and packed with features. It can track things like sleep, blood oxygen levels, ECG, altitude changes, skin temperature, and more. Plus, there's over 40 exercise modes built in, so you can keep up with your training whether you're a runner, skier, cyclist, paddle-boarder, or practically anything else. You can also take calls, follow Google Maps directions, tap-to-pay, and more. It's regularly $249.95, but you can snag it on sale for just under $200 as of Feb. 6.

Opens in a new window Credit: Revlon Revlon One Step Plus $32.99 at Amazon $69.99 Save $37.00 Get Deal We dubbed the Revlon One Step one of the best Dyson Airwrap dupes when we first tested it back in 2022. Since then, we've found a few others that took away its title, but we still have love for the One Step — mostly because of its crazy low price. Typically only $69.99, the One Step Volumizer Plus 2.0 is down to only $32.99 at Amazon as of Feb. 6. That's 53% in savings. The newer Plus 2.0 model features an additional medium heat setting, a detachable head for travel and storage, a 2.4-inch oval head barrel for more volume, and a longer lasting motor. Opens in a new window Credit: Beats Beats Flex wireless earbuds $39.00 at Amazon $69.95 Save $30.95 Get Deal The Beats Flex are a unique earbud pick in an oversaturated market. The neckband style ensures they won't fall out or go missing while you're wearing them. They're even magnetic, so you can keep them secure around your neck when you're not listening. They'll last 12 hours without needing a power boost and once they do, a 10-minute fast charge will get you another 1.5 hours. While that's not quite as good as over-ear headphones, it's definitely competitive in the earbud realm (for comparison, the AirPods Pro only last for six hours). Our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) gave them 4 out of 5 stars and noted "there's plenty to like for the price." As of Feb. 6, you can grab a pair for only $39. That's 44% in savings.

Use it to schedule the coffee maker, grow lights, or anything else you don't want running 24/7 to turn on and off at specific times. It's usually $24.99, but you can save 20% as of Feb. 6.
