Top Smart Home Deals to Snag on Amazon Prime Day
Amazon Prime Day is the perfect time to upgrade your home with smart devices, according to CNET's senior editor Tyler Lacoma. After years of testing, he highlights four standout products that offer real-world benefits, from energy savings to enhanced convenience.
The Google Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen) tops the list. It not only simplifies heating and cooling with eco and vacation modes but also pays for itself within a year or two through energy savings. The device features a sleek dial display and integrates with other appliances, making it a premium choice for home automation.
For those looking to spruce up their holiday decorations, the Nanoleaf Smart String Lights offer endless customization. These durable LEDs allow users to choose any color, set dynamic effects, sync to music, and create personalized patterns. They are versatile enough for year-round use, making them a practical investment beyond seasonal decor.
The Zafro Smart Tower Fan is another standout pick, praised for its excellent airflow and smart features. It offers detailed speed and direction controls, voice and app-based operation, and a smart sleep setting to avoid disturbing light sleepers. This fan proved to be one of the best in airflow tests, providing a significant upgrade over traditional models.
Lacoma recommends waiting for Prime Day to take advantage of the best deals on these smart home essentials. He also highlights the Tapo smart plug pack for its energy monitoring capabilities, which can help save energy when using devices like space heaters.
