Echo Deals
- The New Echo Dot for $29 ($21 off): Amazon recently updated the Echo Dot, and there are two models, this one and the one with a clock (see the next deal). Both are spherical in shape. Both are very similar to the new standard Echo. We haven't had a chance to spend time with it yet, but if anything the new rounder shape should make it easier to see the clock on a nightstand and should project sound in more directions. If you need a smart bulb, you can get this deal, plus a Sengled Smart Bulb for the same price.
- Echo Dot with clock for $39 ($21 off): This one has the same speaker as the plain Echo Dot, but adds a digital clock face, which makes it great for the bedside.
- Echo Dot Kids Edition for $39 ($21 off): The kids edition Echo Dot offers some parental controls and kid-friendly designs. The also include a year of Amazon Kids+ (formerly FreeTime Unlimited) content. After the first year Amazon Kids+ is $3 per month, so be sure to make a note on your calendar if you plan to cancel.
- Echo Dot (Previous model) for $19 ($21 off): Long live the hockey puck! If you don't need the improvements in the new Dot this is a good price for what we still think is the basic smart home building block. You can place it nearly anywhere. It sounds pretty good for its size and is a great way to test the world of smart home devices without spending a fortune
Echo for $70 ($30 off): The new, round Echo is Amazon's best smart speaker yet, with bolder bass and better voice recognition for all your Alexa commands.
- Echo Show 8 for $65 ($65 off): The Echo Show 8 is the middle child in Amazon's Alexa-powered smart display lineup. The screen is big enough to read from a good distance, but it doesn't hog counter space in your kitchen or office.
- Echo Show 5 for $45 ($45 off): The Echo Show 5 isn't our favorite smart display, but if space is limited and you want a screen—for example, on your nightstand—it gets the job done.
- Echo Show 5 and Blink Mini Camera for $50 ($30 off): This bundled deal saves you a bit on the Echo Show and throws in a Blink mini indoor camera.
- Echo Flex for $10 ($15 off): The Flex is Amazon's tiny, wall socket speaker. The bathroom speaker we call it. It has a USB port on the bottom so you can charge your phone, or plug in an Amazon-made night light.
