As TechRadar's deals editor with nine years of experience covering Prime Day and who also loves a life-changing bargain, I've gone through Amazon's early sale and hand-picked the 15 best deals under $25.

For your money, you can find smart speakers, streaming devices, security cameras, kitchen appliances, and smart plug-ins from brands like Apple, Ring, Roku, Blink, and Amazon's own brand.

A few of my favorite easy-to-add-to-cart products include the Echo Pop smart speaker on sale for only $24.99, the best-selling Apple AirTag on sale for $25, and the Amazon smart plug, a holiday must-have for just $12.99.

Keep in mind that all the deals listed below are part of Amazon's early October Prime Day sale, which means you won't likely find a better price at next week's official event.
