With just over a week left until Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon has started early by discounting most of its Echo smart speakers. You can get up to 69 percent off Echo devices and bundles right now, and that applies to any purchase at Amazon, not just Prime members. It is worth highlighting the echo point for $23, an all-time low that matches the price of July’s Prime Day, and the Echo Dot included with a Kasa Smart Plug Mini for only about $1 more. Considering the Echo Dot is one of our favorite smart speakers and the Kasa accessory earned a spot on our list of the best smart plugs, that package is an affordable way to jump-start your smart home.
As part of a big Echo speaker deal, this bundle that includes the Echo Dot and a Kasa smart plug is 67 percent off.
The Echo Dot wasn’t one of the many Amazon devices that received an update last month during Amazon’s hardware event, meaning you’ll get the latest model of the speaker in this sale. Its orb-shaped design is quite attractive and it is small enough to fit on a nightstand or the end of a desk, making it a good option if you have little space to spare. The Echo Dot impressed us with its solid audio quality, producing louder and clearer audio than we initially expected from such a small speaker. It has physical volume and quiet bottoms on top, but you can control it hands-free using Alexa commands.
That’s also where the Kasa Smart Plug Mini will come in handy. Since it works with Alexa, you can ask the voice assistant to turn on the coffee maker that’s connected to the smart plug, starting your morning routine with no extra effort on your part. Connecting a regular lamp to the Kasa accessory will allow you to turn the lights on and off without leaving the couch, just by asking Alexa to do it. If you’ve been looking to add some IoT devices to your home, this might be a good place to start – it’s a cheap way to introduce Alexa into the mix and you can start by turning one of your most used home devices into a smart one with the Kasa adapter .
The rest of Amazon’s smart speaker lines are also included in this early Prime Day deal. The more affordable Echo Pop is on sale for $18, while the standard Echo It’s down to $55. There are also other packages available, such as Echo Dot with clock and a Philips Hue Color smart bulb for $47. All of these smart speakers have the same Alexa features and most of them have good audio quality given their size and price. But if you are looking for the speaker with the best possible audio quality, the echo study has dropped to $155. That price is an all-time low and matches the July Prime Day price we saw, as is the case with most of these Echo deals.
