Did you know that Amazon has a special section just for all the big discounts it offers on Amazon devices? You’ve probably been to the “Today’s Deals” page on Amazon’s site and seen the link to “Amazon Devices” along the top. But for some reason, that page often doesn’t include every single product in Amazon’s device lineup that’s being discounted at any given time. We have no idea why that’s the case, but you’ll need to check out this special Amazon device deals page on the Amazon site to see each and every discount in the company’s product lineup.

Head over there today and you’ll find plenty of popular products made and sold by Amazon that are on sale with deep discounts. Some best-selling examples include the $50 Fire TV Stick 4K on sale for $39.99, Amazon’s $130 Echo Buds for $79.99, several deep discounts on different blazing-fast eero 6 mesh Wi-Fi system configurations, and a massive $90 discount on the popular Ring Floodlight Camera and Echo Show 5 bundle.

Those are all outstanding deals on extremely popular products, but there’s one more wildly popular Amazon device on sale right now that you should definitely check out. It’s the #1 best-selling Amazon Smart Plug, and it’s down to just $14.99 right now.

With more than 351,000 5-star ratings and another 42,000+ 4-star ratings, the Amazon Smart Plug is the best-reviewed smart plug on Amazon’s site by a truly massive margin. TP-Link Kasa smart plugs are the only other ones that come anywhere close, and they only have 57,000 5-star reviews. That said, Kasa plugs are on sale right now for $7.50 each, so you can get two of them for the price of one discounted Amazon Smart Plug.

That’s a great deal, but plenty of people out there would clearly rather stick with Amazon’s own plugs. And considering how well they integrate with Alexa and other devices in Amazon’s smart home ecosystem, we can certainly understand why people are willing to pay a premium.

Amazon’s premium is typically very steep since the Amazon Smart Plug retails for $25. That’s a very tall order, but you won’t pay that much if you pick one up today. Head over to Amazon’s site and you’ll see that they’re on sale for just $14.99 each, which matches the lowest price we’ve seen so far in 2021. It’s a fantastic deal for one of the highest-rated Amazon products of all time, and it’s not going to last much longer so hurry!
