Last chance: Amazon’s secret sale on the Echo and Echo Dot ends today

Maren Estrada

There are two universal truths when it comes to Amazon’s Alexa-powered smart speakers. First, they are awesome — everyone knows it. Second, you can never have enough. What happens when you’re down in your basement and you realize you forgot to turn off the closet lights all the way up in your bedroom? Should you really have to climb two flights of stairs, or should you just have to speak a simple command and have Alexa shut them off for you?

Stock up on Amazon’s class-leading Echo and Echo Dot speakers today, because the super-secret limited-time sale we told you about back in May ends tonight at midnight PDT. Use the coupon code ECHOSAVE40 at checkout to shave $40 off the price of the Echo, and DOTSAVE10 will save you $10 on the Echo Dot. The only catch is that you’ll need to be a Prime subscriber to take advantage of these deals, but you can always sign up for a free 30-day Prime trial.
