Hurry! Surprise Amazon sale slashes prices of Echo and Echo Dot

Amazon’s lineup of Echo smart speakers completely changed the game, and now every big consumer electronics company is copying them. Of course, as hard as rivals are trying to supplant Amazon, there’s still only one king of smart speakers. Or perhaps we should say queen, since Alexa is obviously the star of show here. Amazon recently had a sale going on its two most popular smart speaker models, but that sale ended last week. Guess what: There’s a new surprise sale that just popped up today, Memorial Day, and it’s only good while supplies last.

If you’re an Amazon Prime subscribe, you can save $40 on the Amazon Echo with coupon code ECHOSAVE40, or $10 on a brand new Echo Dot with coupon code DOTSAVE10. Oh, and if you’re not already a subscriber, get a 30-day Prime trial here or a 6-month student trial here and you can take advantage of this killer sale without even paying for Prime.
