Amazon cuts prices on Echo Plus, Dot, Show, Show 5, and more smart home devices

By

Amazon began a new site-wide promotion today with the announcement, “Happy HoliDeals!” and we saw healthy discounts on several of the best-selling Echo smart home devices, including smart speakers and smart displays. Now that we’re in November and officially on the countdown to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Amazon’s strategy will likely be to continue to add enticing deals each day all month.

We’ve found the best discounts on smart home devices from Amazon and put them all in one place. Whether you’re buying Christmas gifts, adding to your smart home, or need a little extra help around the house, these five deals can help you save up to $80.

Echo Dot (3rd Gen)

 — $20 off


The third-generation Echo Dot has been the bestselling entry-level smart speaker in the world. Hook up a Dot to ask the Alexa digital voice assistant questions, request music, and control a whole network of smart home devices.

Ordinarily $50, the Echo Dot is just $30 during this sale. There is a newer Dot with LEDs that display the time that’s not included in this deal. It’s also likely this Dot model will be available for $5 to $8 or $10 less on Black Friday, but if you can use it now, the $30 discounted price is still a good deal.

Echo (2nd Gen)

 — $50 off


The second-generation Echo smart speaker is available only in this limited-edition oak finish at the discounted price. The major significant upgrade from the Dot to the Echo is better sound. The 2nd-gen Echo has a 2.5-inch down-firing woofer and a 0.6-inch tweeter with Dolby audio processing so that you can fill a room with pleasing music. Normally $120, the Echo is just $70 for this sale.

Echo Plus (2nd Gen) with a Philips Hue bulb

 — $60 off


The next step up in audio listening from the Echo smart speaker is the Echo Plus. The Echo Plus promises premium 360-degree sound and also boasts an integrated Zigbee smart home hub to work with third-party smart home devices that need to connect to a central hub to be recognized.

Usually $180 if purchased separately, this Echo Plus and Philips Hue smart bulb bundle is just $120 during the sale. You can buy the Echo Plus on sale by itself for $120, but since the bulb is included at no extra cost, go for it.

Echo Show (2nd Gen) with Philips Hue bulb

 — $80 off


Along with its 10-inch display, the Echo Show also has premium speakers with Dolby processing for crisp audio. The display can show step-by-step recipes, weather and news reports, streaming video entertainment including TV shows and films, and show live video feeds from Alexa-compatible security cameras.

The Echo Show is usually $230. You can buy it with or without the Philips Hue bulb for the same $180 price during this sale. But if you opt for this deal, why not the smart bulb for no extra charge. Smart lights you can control with your voice are extremely convenient.

Echo Show 5

 — $30 off


Snap up this deal on the smallest regular format Echo smart display. The Echo Show 5’s screen is actually 5.5 inches measured diagonally and convenient as a nightstand clock and video display, photo gallery viewer, or even to watch video clips or livestream video from security cameras.

Ordinarily $90, the Echo Show 5 is only $60 during this sale, the lowest price we’ve seen for this device.

Amazon Echo Show 15 is $80 off with this Cyber Monday deal
Amazon Echo Show 15 hanging horizontally on the wall.

Some Cyber Monday deals may be available after today, but as of midnight tonight, you can count on the prices of Amazon Echo smart devices snapping right back to the full list price. Whether you look on Amazon or Best Buy, the deal prices will disappear. That being said, today, there are some truly attractive Cyber Monday Amazon Echo deals to be had; just don't forget until tomorrow. Best Buy's Cyber Monday $170 sale price for the Amazon Echo Show 15 smart display cuts $80 off the $250 full price. If you want the current best smart display available, buy it today while you can still save.
 

Why you should buy the Amazon Echo Show 15
Our Amazon Echo Show 15 review praised the 15.6-inch diagonal measure display on the Show 15, but a large screen alone isn't the whole story. The Show 15 supports multiple widgets, a class of utilities for notes, tasks, lists, schedules, photos, weather, maps, and more that can be pasted and moved around the display by family members. Because the Show 15's display real estate is relatively large, there's enough room for a generous selection of widgets. You can mount the Show 15 in landscape or portrait mode, depending on your wall space and personal preference. With an optional stand for the display, you also can place it on a table, cabinet, or desk.

Amazon’s superb Echo Studio speaker is just $155 for Cyber Monday
Amazon Echo Studio Alexa Smart Speaker

Thanksgiving has begun to feel like a distant memory as Cyber Monday deals have fully kicked off. Let's get you started on the right path toward the best bargains with this deal from Best Buy, which is offering an Amazon Echo Studio for just $155. It normally sells for $200, but Best Buy has cut the price by $45 for the online shopping holiday. This is a rate typically reserved for holidays, so it could very well be your last chance to grab a decently priced Amazon Echo Studio this year.

Why you should buy the Amazon Echo Studio
Why buy? Long-standing greatness. In our initial Amazon Echo Studio review, we noted that it was the best Echo speaker yet and that the Amazon Echo Studio's 360-degree Dolby Atmos audio gave our reviewer chills. That review was two years ago. Where do more recent assessments place the Amazon Echo Studio? Still quite favorably. Our recent writeup on the best Amazon Alexa smart speakers ranks the Amazon Echo Studio as the best Alexa speaker for audiophiles due to its "class-leading bass" and effective soundstage.

Amazon Echo Dot (3rd Gen) -- $15, was $40

Released in 2018, the 3rd-generation Amazon Echo Dot is Amazon's most compact smart speaker -- it's so small that it can truly fit into just about any room. If you have two, you can pair them together to create stereo sound, and using Alexa, you can control all of your music and podcasts with only the sound of your voice. You can also ask Alexa for help with answering questions, checking news and weather, or controlling any of your other smart home devices. If you have friends or family members who also have Echo devices or the Alexa app, you can call them directly from your Echo Dot. You can also use all of your Echo devices in tandem to make an announcement in every room with a compatible device.
