With temperatures on the rise and Earth Day right around the corner, now’s a good time to invest in a smart thermostat if you haven’t already. A good one like Amazon’s Smart Thermostat can help reduce energy use and lower your bills without sacrificing comfort, and right now it’s just $61.99 ($18 off) at Amazon. Aside from a brief drop during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, it’s spent most of 2026 at full price, making this the best deal we’ve seen since it dropped to $51.99 on Black Friday.

My colleague Jennifer Pattison Tuohy was impressed by how much the smart thermostat delivers for the price. It can learn your habits over time so you can set it and forget it, which is a feature typically found in more expensive options, and it can automatically adjust based on whether you’re home, away, or asleep. You can also create schedules, tweak settings remotely from your phone, and track your HVAC energy usage in the app, which makes it easier to spot patterns and cut down on your monthly bill.
The thermostat also integrates with Amazon Alexa, letting you adjust your home’s temperature using voice commands, and works with most 24-volt HVAC systems. Despite its low price, it doesn’t look cheap either, offering a sleek, minimalist design with a simple, intuitive interface that’s easy to use at a glance.
Of course, to keep costs down, there are some features you’ll have to do without. It doesn’t include native temperature sensors, for example, and it doesn’t support voice assistants beyond Alexa. But it still covers the essentials and can help you save on energy costs over time, making it a smart buy for the price.

Three more deals worth a look:
* You can pick up the Anker 45W USB-C Fast Charger for $19.99 ($15 off) at Amazon and directly from Anker with code WS7DV28JGN0M; that price is just $2 shy of its all-time low. The GaN charger is small enough to slip into a pocket yet capable of delivering up to 45W of power, which is enough to charge an iPhone 17 Pro Max to around 50 percent in about 20 minutes. It can also power tablets, earbuds, and other USB-C devices, and it comes with a six-foot USB-C cable for added convenience.
* Woot’s selling the international version of the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro for a new low price of $199.99 ($50 off), though note it comes with a 90-day Woot warranty instead of Samsung’s one year warranty. The buds improve on the previous model with much better noise cancellation and upgraded woofers for better sound. They’re a particularly great option for anyone with a Galaxy phone, who get access to extra features like live translation, easy switching between devices, and hi-res audio support. Read our review.
* The Echo Show 5 Kids smart display is on sale for $64.99 ($35 off) at Amazon, which is its best price since December and $15 shy of its all-time low. It’s identical to the standard Echo Show 5 and offers the same 5.5-inch display that works well as a bedside alarm clock, but adds parental controls and a two-year warranty. Kids can also ask Alexa to play music, read bedtime stories, help with homework, or even create interactive stories, while a free year Amazon Kids Plus grants kids access to thousands of audiobooks, podcasts, and games.
