Amazon dropped the price of yet another Alexa-compatible smart home device in this year’s increasingly dramatic buildup to Prime Day. With this latest deal, you can buy the Fire TV Recast over-the-air digital video recorder for $100 off the usual selling price.

Both Fire Recast TV models are on sale with the same discount. The Fire TV Recast with two tuners and 500 GB of content storage records up to 75 hours of content and the Fire TV Recast with four tuners and 1TB storage holds 150 hours of video. With either model, you save $100 during this sale. If you cut the cord from cable or satellite TV service and stream video content over the air (OTA), the Fire TV Recast lets you watch and record sports, TV series, and any other shows you receive with an HD antenna.

In order to use the Fire TV Recast to record programming, you need an HD antenna to receive OTA streaming digital video from local network affiliate stations and other local or regional channels. The Fire TV Recast connects to the same Wi-Fi network as a Fire TV streaming media player or Echo Show smart display. Finally, you’ll need to access the free Fire TV app on a Fire tablet or iOS or Android mobile device. To be clear about what you can and cannot record with the Fire TV Recast, it works with OTA streaming content only and cannot record shows from cable or satellite services or from streaming apps such as Netflix or Prime Video.

The Recast is Amazon Alexa compatible so you can enjoy the added convenience of voice control. You can use Alexa voice commands to search and select channels, schedule and play recordings, and manage the Recast’s content. When you’re away from home, so long as you have a mobile device running the Fire TV mobile app, you can watch live and recorded content via the Recast when you are connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi or a cellular signal.

Normally priced $230, the 75-hour capacity Fire TV Recast with two tuners is just $130 during this Pre-Prime Day sale. You can double the storage capacity with the 150-hour capacity Fire TV Recast with four tuners for $180 during this sale instead of the usual $280 price. If you’re happy you cut the cord from cable and satellite TV services but miss the convenience of recording content to watch on your schedule, this is a great opportunity to take advantage of awesome prices.

sodastream terra sparkling water maker deal prime day 2022

Do you buy a 24-pack of seltzer water every time you do to the store? Are you constantly cracking open a fizzy water and filling your recycling bin with cans? There is a cheaper solution that will also help save the environment: Make your own soda water. This SodaStream Prime Day deal makes the convenient device super cheap. It's now only $90 instead of its usual $160 That's $10 cheaper than it has ever been. It's a fantastic $70 discount, meaning this device will pay for itself almost twice as fast as it would at full price. Check it out at Amazon while Prime Day deals are still live.

Why you should buy the SodaSteam E-Terra during Prime Day
Prime Day is a great time to buy appliances. Amazon is having fantastic price cuts on some of the most popular models, while competing retailers try to offer their own sales. Target is having Target Circle Week, for instance, which is cutting prices on lots of home appliances. But we're here to talk about the SodaStream E-Terra. SodaStream is the biggest brand name in the soda water biz, and this is one of their simplest carbonated water makers. The E-Terra comes with the basic SodaStream device, which has a thin profile that will fit on any counter, right next to a toaster and a Keurig. You also get a reusable, dishwasher-safe bottle for use when carbonating the water, and a free CO2 cannister. If you want fancier features, like the ability to make cocktails, consider a fancier model like the SodaStream Art.

This content was produced in partnership with ECOVACS
Amazon's Prime Day is back, and its own tech, devices, and gear aren't the only things worth shopping during the big event. This year there's a definite focus on more practical items, like cleaning supplies, food, and other items you might need -- but can get at an excellent discount -- as opposed to electronics like TVs, game consoles, tablets, and beyond. But one tech item that should be in every home is a smart cleaning solution, or rather a smart vacuum and mop combo, precisely like what ECOVACS offers. Each model is different, but for the most part they offer hands-free cleaning and maintenance so you can focus on your busy life, and not have to worry about all the messes that you leave behind, that your kids might make, or that your pets might create. In the interest of brevity, we've collected all of the best ECOVACS deals that are live as part of the event, and you can peruse those below.
ECOVACS DEEBOT N8 PRO+ -- $300, was $700

But the N8+ PRO is an entry-level vacuum and mop that offers a host of intelligent features, for a low price, and that's before you even consider the Prime Day discounts going on right now. And just because you're sticking to a budget doesn't mean you'll sacrifice features, as this vacuum and mop combo is smart, capable, and convenient. That explains why the N8 PRO+ has become the top choice for over 500,000 users.
