Today is Earth Day and Woot is celebrating with lots of discounts on previously owned Amazon devices. Having the newest devices may unlock the latest features, but the premium price tag can be a deterrent. Since technology is constantly evolving and inventory turnover is necessary to make room for the next big thing, you can save money buying used and previous-generation devices.
Amazon has gently used, preowned smart devices and tech for up to 77% off right now. If you don't mind a product with a little life in it, purchasing refurbished products is eco-friendly and easy on the wallet. Each item in this Earth Day sale at Woot has been tested and verified internally by Amazon to meet specific product conditions, but expect that there may be some cosmetic blemishes. Plus, Woot will donate $1 to the One Tree Planted foundation, an organization dedicated to reforestation and biodiversity, for every Amazon device sold during this event. Shop the entire selection at Woot while supplies last. The Earth Day savings will expire tonight, April 22.
There is a wide assortment of Amazon devices available, with major discounts on smart displays, tablets, Fire TV devices, e-readers, earbuds, video doorbells and more. CNET has reviewed all of these (bar the Glow) and they all scored highly at their original prices. If buying used makes you nervous, know that all products include a warranty from either Woot or Amazon (check individual product pages to see which applies).
