Amazon just discounted its hot new Echo Spot for the first time ever

Maren Estrada

With a rating of 4.3 stars and more than 560 reviews already on Amazon, it’s safe to say the Echo Spot is a hot new addition to Amazon’s smart speaker lineup. Unlike most Echo devices, the Echo Spot adds a small color display into the mix, allowing Alexa to display content rather than just answering questions, ordering products, and controlling your smart home gadgets. It’s a good value at $130, but you can save a nice chunk of change right now if you buy two. Add two Echo Spots to your cart in either color and you’ll automatically save $40!

Here’s what you need to know from the product page:

  • Echo Spot is designed to fit anywhere in your home. Use 2nd generation far-field voice recognition to watch video flash briefings, see music lyrics, weather forecasts, to-do and shopping lists, browse and listen to Audible audiobooks, and more. All hands-free—just ask.

  • Echo Spot connects to Alexa, a cloud-based voice service to play music, read the news, answer questions, set music alarms, control smart home, and more

  • Just ask to play a song, artist, or genre, and see lyrics with Amazon Music. Also, stream music and books from Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn, iHeartRadio, and Audible.

  • Use the built-in speaker or connect to speakers through Bluetooth or 3.5 mm stereo cable. With multi-room music, you can play music on your Echo devices in different rooms.

  • Ask Alexa to turn on your lights, show baby monitors and front door cameras, and lock your doors. Plus, control your thermostats, garage doors, sprinklers, and more.

  • Call almost anyone hands-free, or make video calls to family and friends with an Echo Spot, Echo Show, or the Alexa App. Instantly connect to other Echo devices around your home.

  • With tens of thousands of skills, Alexa is always getting smarter and adding new features. Just ask Alexa to control your TV, request an Uber, order a pizza, and more.
