Promising review: I LOVE Echo Show 5. My only problem was deciding where to put it! I have an Echo Show, and the dot, and all the others in every room of my home! The 5 is the perfect size ... but this means that one of my devices will have to retire. Thank you Amazon for making my life easier in every corner of my home!

7. Watch for your Amazon packages

Certified Refurbished Ring Video Doorbell Pro

Certified Refurbished Ring Video Doorbell Pro

Package thieves are a real problem in some areas. When you're dealing with porch pirates, a Ring Video Doorbell can come in handy. Catch the thief in the act and show the footage to your local authorities. Or watch for visitors and hear announcements when people stop by. This refurbished unit does require existing doorbell wiring but is simple to install.

Promising review: The refurbished unit came in a sealed box, in mint condition. Everything needed for installation is included in the original box. My old doorbell already had a 16V transformer right inside the junction box behind the chime. I installed the Pro Power kit V2 and then replaced the old bell button with Ring doorbell pro. Ring app installed quickly. Very happy with the purchase.
