- Echo Dot (4th Gen) 2-Pack for $80 ($20 off): Amazon's brand new Echo Dot is already on sale (it ships October 22). This update is louder than previous generations, with a spherical shape and a similar compact footprint. We haven't tested them yet, but we are confident they'll be better than the last generation. See our Alexa speaker guide for more details. Use the coupon code DOT2PK at checkout to get this deal.
- Echo Show 5 for $45 ($45 off): This is the best price we've seen on the Echo Show 5, Amazon's smaller smart home display . The same price extends to a version that includes a free one-year subscription to Food Network Kitchen, a service that offers cooking tips and recipes. We reviewed it here .
- Echo Dot Kids Edition (3rd Gen) for $35 ($20 off): This is basically a colorful version of the hockey puck you're familiar with. What sets it apart is the free one-year subscription to Amazon Kids+ (formerly known as FreeTime Unlimited). Alexa can read books to your kids, play age-appropriate music, and answer questions like "Why is the sky blue?"
