Amazon is rolling out incredible discounts on two of its most popular smart speakers just in time for the upcoming Prime Big Deals Day, scheduled for October 8-9. This flash sale features some of the best prices we’ve seen all year. First up is the Echo Dot (5th Gen, 2022 version) which is now available for just $22 down from its regular price of $49 (54% off). This compact speaker has been redesigned with a sleek, spherical shape that not only looks modern but also enhances sound quality. See Echo Dot 5 at Amazon The Echo Dot delivers clearer vocals and deeper bass and ensures a rich audio experience despite its small size. It offers a range of functionalities that make everyday tasks easier. With Alexa at your command, you can stream music from popular services, set timers and alarms, check the weather and control your smart home devices—all through simple voice commands. Its the perfect speaker for anyone looking to add a touch of convenience and entertainment to their daily routine without breaking the bank. On the other hand, we have the Echo Spot (2024 release) which is currently priced at $44 down from $79 (44% off). The Echo Spot takes smart speakers to a whole new level by incorporating a 2.83-inch screen into its design. This feature allows users to make video calls, watch news briefings, and view song lyrics while listening to music. See Echo Spot at Amazon When comparing these two devices, the most significant differences lie in their functionality and design. While the Echo Dot focuses solely on audio output and is more compact, the Echo Spot’s screen allows for additional features like video calling and visual displays. The Spot’s larger size accommodates its display but still fits well into any room without being obtrusive. For those on a budget or looking for a straightforward smart speaker experience, the Echo Dot is an unbeatable option at this price point.
