The best deals we’ve found from Amazon’s Big Spring Sale (so far)

Amazon loves to manufacture an event. March is historically a dry spell for deals; however, with Amazon’s third annual Big Spring Sale, which starts today and runs through March 31st, the retail behemoth is hoping to lure in would-be shoppers with the promise of steep(ish) savings and discounts on more seasonal, spring-centric items to hold folks over until Prime Day surfaces at the onset of summer.

The bulk of the deals we’re seeing right now aren’t quite on par with Black Friday or Prime Day, and, as with most shopping events, not everything on sale is worth picking up. That said, Amazon’s latest sale is one of the first big opportunities we’ve seen this year to save — and bypass some tariff-induced pain — especially since some of our favorite gadgets are currently matching their lowest prices to date, including headphones, robot vacuums, and a slew of charging accessories.

To help you sift through it all, we’re focusing squarely on the gadgets that are actually worth picking up, many of which we’ve tested and recommend even at full price. You’re not limited to Amazon, either. Retailers like Best Buy and Walmart are offering the same deals in a lot of cases, meaning you don’t necessarily need to succumb to shopping at the so-called “Everything Store” just to save a buck (or 50).

Smart home deals

• The Echo Spot is on sale for $49.99 ($30 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, which is $5 more than its best price to date. The tiny, Alexa-enabled gadget features a customizable 2.83-inch screen that can display a slew of info at a glance, such as the weather and various reminders, and it serves as a handy alarm clock for your bedside, should you need one. It also sounds surprisingly good for its size and lets you control compatible smart home devices with your voice, including your lights. Read our review.
• The Govee Table Lamp 2 Pro X Sound by JBL is currently on sale at Amazon for $134.99 ($45 off), matching its best price to date. The color-changing smart lamp offers preset scenes to help you set the mood, but it also lets you create lighting effects. It’s a Bluetooth speaker as well, one that delivers decent sound and syncs with your lights. Plus, thanks to Matter support, it’ll work with all major smart home platforms, including Amazon Alexa. Read our review.

• You can buy two Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Plug Slim smart plugs on sale for $21.99 ($8 off) at Amazon, which is $2 shy of the bundle’s all-time low price. The basic plug lets you add smart features to traditional gadgets like fans and lamps, and it offers energy monitoring, so you can keep tabs on how much power you’re consuming — which is helpful if you’re trying to cut down on your electricity bill. It’s also compatible with Matter, meaning you can connect it to multiple smart home platforms for voice control.
• Govee’s 11.8-foot Envisual TV Backlight T2 is on sale for $69.99 ($70 off) at Amazon and directly from Govee, which is $2 more than its lowest price to date. Designed for 55-and 65-inch TVs, the backlight uses a dual-camera system to match on-screen colors in real time, allowing you to create immersive lighting behind your display. It also features bright RGBIC lighting effects, syncs with music, and supports Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control.

• The Aura Carver Mat is on sale for $143 ($36 off) at Amazon, which is its best price of the year. The 10.1-inch digital picture frame features a 1280 x 800 HD display and lets you easily add photos and videos via the Aura app, which offers unlimited cloud storage and lets loved ones contribute images remotely. Unlike more feature-heavy frames like Nixplay’s, the Carver prioritizes simplicity and design, with a white inset mat that mimics the look of a more traditional matted frame.
• The Lutron Diva Caseta is available for $99.95 ($25 off) on Amazon right now, which is $10 shy of its lowest price to date. The smart dimmer kit lets you add smart controls to your existing lights without requiring new bulbs. It includes a dimmer switch, a Pico remote, and a hub, allowing you to control lighting through the Lutron app, set schedules, or adjust brightness from anywhere. It’s also easy to install without a neutral wire and works with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and other major smart home platforms.

• Amazon’s Smart Air Quality Monitor is on sale for $49.99 ($20 off) at Amazon, just $5 shy of its best price to date. The budget-friendly gizmo can track your indoor air quality and send alerts via Alexa when it worsens. You can also set up Alexa Routines so that compatible devices — including air purifiers, dehumidifiers, and fans — automatically turn on or off in response. Read our review.
• You can buy the Meross Outdoor Smart Plug for $22.09 ($8 off) at Amazon, which is $2 shy of its best price to date. The weather-resistant, IP44-rated plug is designed for outdoor use, allowing you to add smarts to everything from string lights to sprinklers. It features two outlets and supports Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri for voice control. You can also use it to set schedules, and the smart plug offers sunrise and sunset timers so that connected devices turn on or off accordingly.

Charging accessory deals

• The Anker Nano Charging Station is on sale for $33.99 ($16 off) at Amazon, matching its best price to date. The travel-friendly power strip can charge up to six devices via a pair of AC outlets, two USB-C ports, and two USB-A ports. It delivers up to 67W of power, which is enough to charge a laptop or keep multiple smaller devices topped off at once, while its flat design and 5-foot cord make it easy to use in small spaces.
• The Ugreen 145W 3-Port Power Bank is on sale at Amazon and Ugreen’s online storefront for around $65.64 ($25 off), which is its best price to date. The 25,000mAh power bank features a pair of USB-C ports and one USB-A port that can output a combined 145W of power, allowing you to charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro to over 50 percent capacity in just 30 minutes. It should be able to charge most laptops at least once, or smaller devices several times, and can charge in about two hours with a 65W charger. It also features a handy digital display that shows the remaining battery life.

• Ugreen’s MagFlow Charging Stand is currently on sale at Amazon for $21.97 ($14 off), its lowest price to date. The adjustable, magnetic stand can prop up your phone in StandBy mode and delivers up to 7.5W of power to MagSafe-compatible devices. It also features a separate Qi charging pad on the base, allowing you to top off a pair of wireless earbuds or another compatible device simultaneously.
• Ugreen’s Nexode 65W USB-C Charger is on sale for $24.97 ($15 off) at Amazon, which is just $2 shy of its best price to date. The small GaN adapter delivers up to 65W of power and can charge a MacBook Air to around 50 percent in about 30 minutes. It also features a pair of USB-C ports and one USB-A port, so you can also charge three smaller devices at once.

Robot vacuum deals

• The newer Ecovacs Deebot X9 Pro Omni is also available from Amazon, Best Buy, and Ecovacs for $679 ($621 off), which is its best price to date. It’s very similar to the aforementioned X8 Pro Omni, but it’s able to capitalize on Ecovacs’ Boosted Large-Airflow Suction Technology, which can suck up dust and debris more easily for a more thorough clean.
• The Dreame L10s Pro Ultra is on sale for around $349.98 ($50 off) at Amazon and directly from Dreame with coupon code L10PUXM. The robovac / mop hybrid offers a respectable 7,000Pa of suction along with an extendable mop that can reach closer to edges. Its self-cleaning dock washes the mop pads with hot water and dries them with hot air. Plus, it can empty its own dustbin, refill its own water tank, and even automatically dispense cleaning solution.
• Roborock’s S8 MaxV Ultra is on sale for $849.99 ($550 off) at Amazon, which is its best price of the year and $100 more than its all-time low. It was our top robovac pick before the Matic came along, in large part due to its sonic mop, which vibrates up to 4,000 times per minute and extends to clean corners and baseboards. It also delivers 10,000Pa of suction and features dual rubber roller brushes, along with AI obstacle avoidance and Matter support, so you can connect it to any major smart home platform.

Speaker deals

• The Amazon Echo Studio is on sale for $189.99 ($30 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, which matches its all-time low price. Like the smaller Echo Dot Max, the Echo Studio supports Alexa Plus and is compatible with Matter, Thread, and Zigbee so it can double as a smart home hub. Unlike the Dot Max, though, it supports spatial audio and Dolby Atmos, delivering fuller, room-filling sound. In our tests, it even sounded better than Apple’s second-gen HomePod. Read our review.
• If you’re looking for a relatively affordable Bluetooth speaker, you can pick up Soundcore’s tiny Select 4 Go at Amazon for $22.99 ($3 shy of its best-ever price), from Best Buy for $24.99, and directly from Soundcore (with code WS24A31X1USC) for $23.99. The portable, IP67-rated waterproof and dustproof speaker can float in a pool and lasts up to 20 hours on a single charge. You can also charge it via USB-C or pair it with a second Go speaker for richer, stereo sound.

Headphone and earbud deals

• The Beats Solo 4 are down to $119.99 ($80 off) at Amazon in several colors. This is the best price we’ve seen so far this year, though it’s nowhere near the best-ever price of $79 we saw during the holidays. These wireless headphones lack active noise cancellation, but they do support lossless playback over USB-C (or 3.5mm) for detailed, clear sound, along with spatial audio. They’re also platform-agnostic, and can last a whopping 50 hours on a single charge. Read our review.

• You can currently purchase Sony’s WH-1000XM5 for $298 ($100 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. Although we saw them drop to as low as $205 in recent months, that’s still one of the better deals we’ve seen on the over-ear headphones, which still offer terrific sound and great noise cancellation despite being a last-gen model. The newer XM6 improve on both fronts and feature a foldable design, but the XM5 remain a great investment when you can find them on sale. Read our review.
• Sony’s WF-C510 are on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo for around $48 ($20 off), which is the best price we’ve seen. The IPX4-rated buds offer up 11 hours of playback, multipoint Bluetooth connectivity, and a helpful transparency mode, which is a nice perk given that most cheap pairs of closed-style earbuds skip out on the latter feature in an attempt to keep costs down.

Streaming and soundbar deals

• The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus is also on sale for $24.99 ($20 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, which matches its lowest price to date. Like the 4K Max above, Amazon’s mid-tier streaming stick runs on the redesigned Fire TV OS and supports Dolby Atmos, but it offers only half the storage (8GB) and supports Wi-Fi 6 instead of Wi-Fi 6E.
• The latest Amazon Fire TV Cube is also on sale for $99.99 ($40 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. The fast streaming device supports Wi-Fi 6E along with Dolby Atmos and all the major HDR formats, including Dolby Vision, and features an HDMI input that lets you connect devices like a cable box or game console. It also pulls double duty as a decent sounding speaker with support for Amazon Alexa, so you can control smart home devices and even navigate the Fire TV interface with your voice. Read our review.

Fitness tracker and smartwatch deals

• The Fitbit Ace LTE is down to around $99.95 ($80 off) at Amazon, Target, and Best Buy, matching its best price to date. The fitness tracker is designed specifically for kids, with movement-based games that encourage physical activity. It also supports GPS location tracking, along with the ability to send messages and place calls to a limited number of contacts. However, keep in mind that a Fitbit Ace Pass subscription ($9.99 per month / $119.99 per year) is required for location tracking, messaging, and access to the Fitbit Arcade. Read our hands-on impressions.
• The entry-level Fitbit Inspire 3 has returned to its all-time low of $69.95 ($30 off) at Amazon, Target, and Best Buy. The basic fitness band nails the basics, providing heart rate, sleep, exercise, blood oxygen, and menstrual health tracking. It can also provide you with a sleep score every morning, along with tips for improving your sleep. You can also remove the Inspire 3 from its band and wear it as a necklace, which is less obtrusive but disables heart rate tracking. Read our hands-on impressions.

Best e-reader deals

• The standard Kindle Colorsoft (16GB) is on sale for $169.99 ($80 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, matching its all-time low. The 7-inch model features a 150ppi color E Ink display but is otherwise identical to the latest Kindle Paperwhite, with IPX8 water resistance and a sharp, 300ppi screen. It lacks adjustable warm lighting, wireless charging, and the 32GB of storage found in the step-up model, but it’s still a great option if you often read comics, magazines, cookbooks, and other content with lots of visuals.
• The last-gen Kindle Scribe has fallen to a new low at Amazon, where you can pick up the 16GB model for $249.99 ($150 off). Over the years, software updates have turned the 10.2-inch e-reader into a far more capable note-taking device, especially since you can now jot notes directly in Kindle books. Newer AI-powered tools also let you quickly summarize your notes and clean up your handwriting with just a tap, while Amazon’s updated stylus includes a customizable shortcut button.

Other Verge-approved deals

• Insta360’s Antigravity A1 is available starting at $1,279 at Amazon, Best Buy, and Antigravity’s online storefront through April 16th for the “Standard” set, which includes Vision Goggles, a remote control, a battery, a carrying case, and four spare propellers. The 360-degree drone can shoot 8K video at 30 frames per second, with the goggles letting you see exactly what the drone sees while it’s flying, providing you with a first-person view. As of February, you can use the goggles to practice flying without sending the drone into the air. In April, additional software updates will add voice controls, timelapse photography, and fun virtual effects.
• Google’s Pixel 10 is on sale starting at $549 ($250 off) at Amazon, which is its best price so far this year despite being $100 more than its all-time low. The phone is $599.99 at Best Buy. Compared to the recently released Pixel 10A, the 6.3-inch Pixel 10 offers a more advanced camera system that includes a telephoto lens, as well as support for Qi2 wireless charging with built-in magnets. It features a 120Hz display and runs on Google’s Tensor G5 processor while offering 12GB of RAM. The phone also offers additional AI features like Magic Cue, which can offer relevant suggestions depending on what you’re doing on your phone. Read our review.

• The Hoto Mini Bike Tire Pump is on sale for $41.98 ($18 off) at Amazon, which matches its best price to date. The palm-sized device can quickly refill bike tires up to 150 PSI, inflating a 700×23C tire from flat to 80 PSI in about a minute. Powered by a 2,000mAh battery, it can inflate up to eight flat tires per charge, and it automatically shuts off once it reaches your preset pressure.
• The Epicka Universal Travel Adapter is on sale for $16.99 ($6 off) at Amazon, matching its best price to date. The versatile adapter features four built-in plugs that work in more than 200 countries and regions, along with four USB-A ports, a USB-C port, and an AC socket so you can easily charge laptops, phones, cameras, and other electronics on the go.

• The latest Tile Mate is on sale for around $19 ($6 off) at Amazon, which is $5 shy of its best price to date. The platform-agnostic Bluetooth tracker helps you keep tabs on valuables within a 350-foot range and offers an IP68 water resistance rating along with two days of location history for free. It can also send SOS alerts, though you’ll need the $14.99-per-month Life360 Gold subscription to use that feature.
• Black & Decker’s rechargeable Furbuster is currently on sale at Amazon for $84.99, $45 off its original list price. It’s a great handheld alternative that’s well-suited for picking up fur, dirt, and other unwanted debris, especially when you tack on the extra-long crevice tool or the included motorized pet brush.

• The DJI Osmo Mobile 7P gimbal stabilizer is on sale for around $99 ($30 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Adorama, which is also its best price to date. The smartphone gimbal doubles as a selfie stick with a built-in tripod and telescoping arm. It can automatically follow you, adjust framing of your shots, and even start or stop recording with a wave of your hand. You can also pair it with one of DJI’s wireless mics, making it a handy tool for vlogging or filming on the go.

• The Instant Pot Duo Plus 9-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker (6-Quart) is on sale for $99.99 ($40 off) at Amazon, which is $40 more than its all-time low but still the best price we’ve seen in months. The versatile multicooker can pressure cook, slow cook, sauté, steam, and more, and the six-quart capacity is large enough for family meals or to do a ton of meal prep. It also offers 15 one-touch cooking programs and an easy-to-read display that shows cooking time, temperature, and pressure.

• The Keurig K-Express coffee maker is on sale for $69.99 ($40 off) at Amazon, which is $20 shy of its all-time low. The small, single-serve brewer uses K-Cup pods and makes 8-, 10-, or 12-ounce drinks at the press of a button, with a “Strong Brew” option available if needed. It also features a removable 42-ounce reservoir that holds up to four cups, along with a removable drip tray that fits most travel mugs.
• The 20-ounce Yeti Rambler is on sale for $30.40 (about $8 off) directly from Yeti, which matches the best price we’ve seen on the handy Verge favorite. Made from durable, kitchen-grade stainless steel, it uses double-wall vacuum insulation to keep drinks hot or cold for hours. It’s also dishwasher-safe, features a leak-resistant lip, and sports a slim design that should fit most cupholders.

Update, March 25th: Added several new deals, including those for the Owala FreeSip, Shokz OpenRun Pro 2, and Robrock Q10 S5 Plus robot vacuum.
