The company said these were the top-selling items on the website so far: the Amazon Echo Dot, the Fire TV Stick with Alexa voice remote, the TP-Link smart plug, the Instant Pot DUO80 8-quart seven-in-one multiuse programmable pressure cooker, and the 23andMe DNA test.

The Echo Dot is a smart speaker, and the Fire TV Stick allows users to stream content from Amazon, HBO, Netflix and other streaming services to their televisions. Amazon makes both items.

The TP-Link smart plug is another Amazon product that allows users to turn electronics on or off remotely using a tablet or smartphone.

The Instant Pot is a cooking device that combines an electric pressure cooker, a slow cooker, a rice cooker, and more in one unit.
