Everyone could use a robot assistant. Whether you’re studying for an exam, curious about the news, or just looking to play your favorite jam, having a mechanical friend to help you out is pretty great. It may sound like a futuristic and expensive luxury, but with smart home technology advancing at such a rapid pace, the future is now, and it’s completely affordable.

The Eufy Genie Smart Speaker is the latest addition to the Eufy smart home line. For Amazon Prime members. this little smart speaker comes with Alexa and all of the skills that it brings. That means you can get news, weather, calendar updates, and much more just by asking for it. Want to hear your favorite song? Just ask Alexa to play artists, genres, or even whale sounds if you’re into that. Though many songs come with your Amazon Prime subscription, your selection may be limited without Amazon Music Unlimited.

The Eufy Genie also allows you to add voice control of any smart home devices you may have. You can even go as far as naming your individual smart home devices to help enhance the experience. Personally, I very much enjoy waking up every morning and asking Alexa to “turn on Steve” — Steve being my saucy yet luminous living room lamp. Alexa also comes with a wide range of exciting skills, both fun and practical, to help improve your experience.

You may be hesitant to bring artificial intelligence into your home, but for just $20, you can easily test it out without having to dive all the way in.

Upgrading to a smarter home is easier than ever with this Black Friday deal. You can pick up your very own Eufy Genie for just $20 on Amazon after a 43 percent discount. This offer is for today only, so act fast before supplies run out.

It makes a lot of sense that for Prime Big Deal Days we'd see a ton of discounts on Amazon's own products including the Echo and Alexa-enabled smart home gear. If you've been wanting to grab an Echo, now's your chance. Currently, Amazon is offering and that spans the gamut from Kindle tablets and Echo speakers to batteries, smart bulbs, and more. But one in particular we wanted to call out was the current offer for the Amazon Echo Dot 5th Gen from 2022. Normally $50, it's down 54% to $23 today. That saves you about $27 and it's really just an incredible opportunity if you don't already have an Echo or want a newer one.

Why shop this Amazon Echo Dot 5th Gen Prime Big Deal Days offer?
Let's start with our thoughts. Expert Erin Lawrence gave the Echo Dot 5th Gen with a clock four and a half stars in our Digital Trends review. She praised it for its compact footprint, vastly improved sound quality over previous generations, added Wi-Fi features and more. But all you really need to know is that she loved her time with the device, and you probably will too.

This Breville coffee maker is $200 off today — Normally $750

Breville Barista Express

Some of us can't live without coffee. That describes me perfectly. But unless you're buying coffee every day from a local coffee shop you'll need a solid way to make it. Enter Prime Day Big Deal Days discounts. There are a bunch of Prime Big Deal Days coffee maker deals or even Prime Big Deal Days Keurig deals. However, I have my eyes on one model in particular that's currently $200 off. The Breville Barista Express, in brushed stainless steel, is available today for $550, instead of the usual $750. That's a great deal on this high-end coffee machine that can make you some pro-grade brews.

Why shop this Breville coffee maker deal for Prime Big Deal Days?
Just for the full effect, I can't live without coffee. I don't know about you, but a coffee maker like this, on sale for $200 is a pretty big deal. It's specifically designed to help you make premium espressos and coffee, complete with a built-in coffee grinder. The latter means that you can grind full coffee beans yourself, which opens you up to a whole new world of coffee blends and options.
