It's Friday the 13th, so why not feature some frighteningly low prices to head into the weekend? We've searched Amazon's lengthy list of daily deals and found a few standouts worth adding to your cart from brands like Samsung, Ultimate Ears, SimpliSafe, and Anker Soundcore.
Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day on Sept. 13. If none of these catch your eye, be sure to take a look back at our top picks from Wednesday, Sept. 11 and Thursday, Sept. 12. Many of those are still live, including a record-low Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet and over $600 off a fancy robot vacuum and mop combo.
Released only two months ago, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 just got its first big discount. The super pricey foldable usually starts at $1,899.99, but as of Sept. 13, you can slash 21% off and get the 256GB model for $1,499.99 instead. The Z Fold 6 keeps the same winning formula from the Z Fold 5 when it comes to fundamentals — cameras, battery capacity, and memory. But it makes a few tweaks and adds a few extras that make it even better, including a thinner, wider, and brighter display with enhanced resolution, a boost in Snapdragon power, and a boat load of AI-powered tools from the Galaxy AI suite. If you want more storage, the 512GB version is also on sale for 20% off, knocking the price down from $2,019.99 to $1,619.99.
Our top pick for a home security system, we love SimpliSafe for its comprehensive systems, affordable pricing, and endless customization options. The nine-piece system is on sale for just $179.99 at Amazon as of Sept. 13 — that's 40% off its usual cost and it comes with a base station, keypad, four entry sensors, two motion sensors, and a wired indoor security camera. You can always add on more cameras, doorbells, key fobs, sensors, and more to cover your entire home. Plus, you can get around-the-clock professional monitoring with a monthly subscription (your first month is free!).
While it's not the fanciest TV in the Fire lineup, the 50-inch 4-Series Fire TV is a solid pick for most people. It's equipped with 4K Ultra HD entertainment with HDR 10, on-board Alexa, and four HDMI inputs for connectivity. Plus, if you're already using a Fire TV Stick, it'll have your custom-arranged apps waiting for you when you login to your Amazon account. If you're a Prime member, you can slash about 37% off with the code 55PRIME and get it for just $329.99 as of Sept. 13. For non-Prime members, it'll cost you $379.99, which is still a decent deal at 27% off.
A newer iteration of our favorite sub-$100 Bluetooth speaker, the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 is back on sale for just $79.99. That's 20% in savings. The Wonderboom is quite the powerhouse for a speaker that fits in the palm of your hand. While we haven't tested this model, we have tested its predecessor and found it had "excellent sound for its size and plenty of useful features that come in handy when you're taking it on the go." It's rugged enough to endure drops from up to five feet, can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes, and has an impressive 14 hours of battery life. Plus, it comes in some fun color varieties.
Our sister site PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) tested Anker's Soundcore Space A40 earbuds and found that they "ultimately outshine both of Anker's older top-rated models." They specifically credited their secure fit, strong audio performance, and excellent battery life — which tops off at 50 hours. They also feature adaptive noise cancellation that can be customized in the app and fast charging that gives you an extra four hours of battery life in just 10 minutes. As of Sept. 13, they're on sale for just $47.99 — a new record-low. That's 40% in savings.
