This Blink Doorbell Kit Is on Sale for 45% Off During Amazon’s Labor Day Holiday Sale.
The Blink Battery Doorbell 2K+ and Blink Chime bundle is now on sale for $59.99, down from $109.98 as part of Amazon’s Labor Day pre-sale . That’s a 45% discount, and according to price tracking sites , the bundle is currently at its lowest price. For those looking to monitor their front door without installing new wiring or incurring a large upfront cost, this is a fairly simple system: the doorbell can be powered by batteries, the included Chime lets you hear visitors inside without checking your phone, and the Core sync module connects all the components.
The 2K camera also provides a head-to-toe view, which is much more useful than another long list of camera specs. You can see who’s at the door while still capturing packages placed close to the floor, and two-way audio allows you to talk to the delivery person even if you’re upstairs or outside the home. PCMag’s review of the Blink Battery Doorbell 2K+ noted sharper video and a wider frame, though battery life will vary greatly depending on how busy your doorway is and how often the camera records.
A more important factor is Blink’s subscription model. You can still use live viewing and receive basic motion alerts without a monthly fee, but cloud recording and more specific alerts for people or vehicles require a paid plan (starting at $3.99 per month). This makes the ongoing cost justifiable, especially if you want to keep a history of events at your door, rather than just checking them in real time. However, for those who primarily need an inexpensive way to see and communicate with visitors, the basic features may be sufficient.
When do Labor Day sales start?
Labor Day sales have already begun. Other retailers will likely begin their own sales ahead of the holiday on Monday, September 7.
Should you have sales on Labor Day?
Labor Day is traditionally a good time to find deals on many product categories, but whether it’s worth it depends entirely on what you’re looking for. Compared to sales like Black Friday or Prime Day, Labor Day offers fewer deals in terms of quantity and quality, but you can still find great deals on appliances and kitchen equipment that will match those holiday prices—or even be lower. (We use price tracking tools to let you know whether a deal is worth it.)
What other stores are having Labor Day sales?
Home Depot , Amazon, and Wayfair have already launched their Labor Day sales. Target, Walmart, and Best Buy are likely to follow suit. (Lifehacker will be collecting discounts for all of these sales.)
