Cyber Monday might be over, but you can still get discounts on many Amazon devices. The online retailer seems to reserve its best deals for three events: its two Prime Day sales and Black Friday/Cyber Monday. Today, Echo speakers, Fire TV devices and other gadgets remain on sale in the post-Cyber Monday haze, and the good thing is that anyone can grab these discounts - you don't have to be a Prime member like you do for Amazon's own shopping events. Here are the best Cyber Monday deals on Amazon devices that are still available now.

Amazon Echo and Echo Show Cyber Monday dealsEcho Dot

Amazon's most popular smart speaker is the baseball-sized Echo Dot. It's now down to $23 which matches the all-time low it hit for the last two Prime Days. It's one of our favorite smart speakers because it pumps out good sound and volume for its size and adds Alexa's helpful AI assistance to your home. Use it to set timers, tell you the weather and remind you about stuff you need to do and when to do it. It's also a convenient way to control your other smart home devices, from light bulbs in the ceiling to robot vacs on the floor.

Echo Dot Kids

The Echo Dot for kids has the same general design as the regular Dot, but has a cute owl or dragon exterior. It also comes with a free year of Amazon Kids+, which lets young folk access age-appropriate audio books, morning routines and Alexa's educational skills. The speaker is currently 53 percent off and down to $28. That matches the low it hit for both Amazon Prime sales this year.

Echo Pop

Amazon's smallest smart speaker is the Echo Pop, which came out earlier this year. It's currently down to $18, which matches its all-time low. The colorful half-sphere is perfect for stashing in a corner of a room where you don't have much space. It'll let you ask Alexa the time, weather news and more, while also directing the voice assistant to remind you when it's time to leave for an appointment or shut off the holiday lights. It can also play music, but the sound won't be as good as it would be with a larger Echo speaker.

Echo Pop with free Sengled smart bulb

The Echo Pop is a great candidate for a voice-operated smart home controller, which is probably why Amazon is bundling it with a Sengled Smart Bulb. The set costs $18, which is 70 percent off their full prices. The Sengled bulb earned an honorable mention in our guide to smart bulbs for its easy, if slightly unpolished app, and the fact that it outputs millions of colors on any schedule you'd like.

Echo

The Echo is the original Amazon smart speaker and has been refreshed four times since its launch. The latest model updated the shape from a puck to a globe, which makes room for a three-inch woofer and two 0.8-inch tweeters. The result is quality audio with plenty of bass. The highs could be more crisp but overall it's noticeably louder than its two closest competitors, the Nest Audio or HomePod mini and can fill a room with sound. The Echo is now down to $60, which $5 more than what it went for during both 2023 Prime sales and about $10 more than its all-time low. It's currently our favorite smart speaker under $100 because it combines great sound with all that Alexa can do.

Echo Show 5

The Echo Show 5 is Amazon's smallest smart display and was completely refreshed back in May of this year. The processor and audio quality were improved, but the device is largely the same, acting as a screen-enabled bedside alarm clock or a handy kitchen display for recipe videos and the like. It's currently down to $40 which is $50 off and a discount it has hit twice in the past couple months.

Echo Show 5 with Blink Mini

The Echo Show 5 is the perfect size for keeping an eye on your Alexa-enabled smart cameras and doorbells, so this Blink Mini bundle makes sense. For $60, you get the 5-inch Echo Show and the wired indoor security cam from Blink. Separately and at full price, you'd pay $125.

Echo Show 8

The mid-sized Amazon smart display, the Echo Show 8 is on sale for $105 instead of $150 and represents its first discount. We did a hands-on with the new Echo Show 8 during Amazon's devices event this September and were impressed by the new Adaptive Content feature. Depending on how far away from the display you are, the information changes, with simple time and weather info when you're across the room and more detailed and personalized info, like a playlist or news articles when you're closer.

Echo Show 10

Do you want a smart display that can track you as you move around the room? The Echo Show 10 with a pivoting base can do just that. The ability should keep you in frame for video calls and make sure you can always see your recipe as you move around the kitchen. The 10-inch screen will keep tabs on your connected cameras and doorbells and the large base housing two one-inch tweeters and a three-inch subwoofer, will deliver quality sound.

Echo Buds

Another entry in our affordable earbuds guide are the Echo Buds made by Amazon. They're down to $35, which matches their all-time low. If you don't like the style of buds that go into your ear canal, and would prefer the type that rest on the concha (the bowl next to the canal) these are a worthy compromise to Apple's more expensive AirPods.

Amazon Cyber Monday Fire TV dealsFire TV Stick 4K Max

The new Fire TV Stick 4K Max is on sale for $40, which is a 33 percent discount and its lowest price since its debut in September. This new model has a faster processor than the previous 4K Max dongle, and is the first stick to support Amazon's Ambient Experience, which was previously limited to the Fire TV sets. When you're not watching, the screen can display art, along with widgets for weather, calendar and smart home devices. The Alexa remote lets you search for and play shows and movies just by talking, and also supports Wi-Fi 6E, letting those who've upgraded to take advantage of that tri-band connection.

Fire TV Stick Lite

We found Amazon's Fire TV Stick Lite to be the best budget streaming device you can buy - which goes double now that it has dropped to $16. The deal represents a 46 percent discount off the $30 list price (though it often sells for $20). It's also just a dollar more than its all-time low. The Fire TV Stick Lite doesn't stream content in 4K and can't control a TV's volume or on/off functions, but lets you use all the streaming platforms you subscribe to, presenting them in an interface that's easy enough to navigate, but we do wish that it didn't favor and promote Amazon content quite as much as it does.

Fire TV Stick

The standard Fire TV Stick is down to $20, which is 50 percent off the $40 list price (though it's often on sale for $25). The standard stick offers HD content and, unlike the Lite, has the ability to control your TV's volume and power.

Fire TV Cube

The Amazon Fire TV Cube has dropped to $110 for Cyber Monday, which is $30 off and ties its all-time low. It's the most powerful streaming device in Amazon's lineup, with a 2.2GHz octa-core processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. It streams 4K HDR content with Dolby Vision and Atmos, works with picture-in-picture live view, and supports hands-free Alexa commands. You can also connect other devices like your cable box or game console directly to the unit.

Fire TV 40-inch 2-Series

Many of Amazon's Fire TVs are discounted, including models from Toshiba and Insignia, but the arguably better sets are the Amazon-built" ones the company manufactures. The Fire TV 65" Omni QLED Series 4K TV is now $200 off and down to $600, the same price it hit in October for Prime Day. It supports 4K content with Dolby Vision, adaptive brightness and includes hands-free Alexa both through built-in speakers on the TV itself, no remote required (though it does come with one).

Amazon Kindle Cyber Monday dealsKindle Unlimited

Amazon is also offering Prime members three months of Kindle Unlimited for 99 cents. It's usually $12 per month and will auto-renew once the trial is over (so set a reminder if you don't want that to happen). A subscription lets you read as many ebooks as you want from a selection of around four million ebooks. Bigger new releases and some of the more popular bestsellers aren't included. It also includes a few thousand audiobooks, which all models of Kindle support via Bluetooth and headphones.
