Only the best deals on Verge-approved gadgets get the Verge Deals stamp of approval, so if you're looking for a deal on your next gadget or gift from major retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and more, this is the place to be.

My favorite Black Friday deals to recommend are the ones I can’t resist buying myself — and that’s exactly what happened when I saw that Best Buy is selling the Ring Video Doorbell 2 plus a free third-gen Echo Dot smart speaker for $140 right now.

Normally, it’s $200 for the doorbell and $50 for the speaker, so that’s effectively $110 off. Mind you, we have seen the Ring Video Doorbell 2 hit $110 by its lonesome, but only once before.

You’ll also need to log in to a My Best Buy account to get the $140 price ahead of Black Friday, but it’s free to sign up.

For the price, you’re getting one of the best doorway-mounted security camera and new-package-notification systems out there, with some key upgrades over the original Ring (which can still be found for $100), including higher-resolution 1080p video and a rechargeable, swappable lithium-ion battery that can last several months on a charge. That means super easy installation if you don’t want to hard-wire it to your home.

But if you don’t mind working with a little electricity, you also might want to consider the sleeker Ring Video Doorbell Pro for $180 at Best Buy (normally $250), which comes with not only the free 3rd-gen Echo Dot but also a free Ring Chime Pro — a device you plug into a power outlet that provides an extra audible doorbell-like chime when someone presses the Ring’s button, and can also extend the range of your Wi-Fi to keep it connected if your router isn’t quite close enough.

Note that the Video Doorbell Pro doesn’t have a rechargeable battery, though. In fact, it may require plugging directly into an electrical transformer, with cables included in the box. But you do get these nifty custom motion zones:

In case you’re curious how the different Ring doorbells stack up, here’s Amazon’s chart:

I’ve been in the market for a video doorbell, and I’d already narrowed it down to the three best-reviewed versions that don’t cost an arm and a leg: Amazon’s Ring Video Doorbell 2, Google’s Nest Hello (which is also $50 off this Black Friday), and the Skybell HD. I was leaning toward Skybell because that company doesn’t charge an additional monthly subscription fee for cloud video storage.

But at this price, plus a free third-gen Echo Dot (the one that’s actually a decent speaker), I’m going for the Ring. I just ordered one.

Here are some other deals you can nab right now, ahead of Black Friday.
