Thanks to these new deals,Amazon Alexa-powered speakersare also some of the most affordable yet fully-featuredsmart speakersyou can find right now. Most models, including theEcho Dot (5th Gen) with Clockand the newEcho Pop, and we’ve listed a couple of our favorite deals below. However, be sure tohead to Amazon’s Echo deal pageto see all available offers this weekend.
Echo Dot (5th Gen)
Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen)
The latest Echo Dot offers one of the best smart speakers available for the price, delivering Amazon’s best sounding model thanks to updated speakers and a refined design. It’s spherical yet minimal design lends itself well to almost any setting, and with Alexa at your beck and call, can do anything from tell the time to set appointments.
Amazon’s latest Echo Dot (5th Gen) is a go-to choice for anyone looking to get a smart speaker, offering Alexa’s full range of uses and then some. For it’s size, it actually sounds pretty amazing, too, working well as a speaker to listen to music and other media. The addition of tap gesture control via a built-in accellorometer and a temperature sensor also makes it super convenient to use.
It’s also the best value of all the deals available, with a whopping 54% discount dropping the price down to just $22 for a limited time. Sure, theclock version is also on sale for $40, but with Alexa ready to tell you the time, do you reallyneedto have the time displayed anymore?
Amazon Echo Pop
Take the Echo Dot (5th Gen) and cut it in half (literally), and you’ll end up with the new Echo Pop. Basically a more compact version of the standard model, the Echo Pop takes a minor down step in the speaker department to offer a smaller, more subtle device. You’ll still get all of Alexa, but you’ll only get half the speaker.
Amazon’s new Echo Pop is an excellent smart speaker for smaller rooms and settings, delivering almost all the same functionality you’d get from the Echo Dot minus motion detection and the temperature sensor, just in a much more compact design. It’s essentially an Echo Dot cut in half design-wise, lending itself perfectly to smaller spaces.
The sound is decent for the size, but due to its smaller size, it won’t do well in larger dens, bedrooms, and other larger spaces. Grab this model if you’re looking for a smart speaker to add to a smaller studio apartment or bathroom, it’s an excellent value that won’t disappoint at $18.
