Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days is so close you can almost taste it, and we're bound to see massive reductions on Amazon hardware during the event. But there's no need to wait for Prime Day deals — Amazon is getting started early with a bunch of reductions on some top-selling devices.

Right now you can get the Fire TV Stick 4K Max for $39 at Amazon. This is our choice for the best streaming device made by Amazon, and after a $20 discount, it's at its lowest price ever.  You can also give your Internet setup a boost and get the Eero Mesh Wi-Fi Router (3-pack) for $124 at Amazon ($89 off.) This one is exclusive to Prime members, but you can always sign up for a free trial if you're not already a member.

There's always a chance that these items could get cheaper in October, but I've flagged the items that are at historic low prices. Shopping early is a solid move if you want to secure certain items before they sell out. Check out my favorite deals on Amazon hardware below. And for more, see the deals I'd get in Ikea's fall sale.
