Amazon has the Echo Spot on sale for just $99.99 (and that never happens)
Still haven’t gotten in on the smart speaker or security camera action, huh? Just chilling at home hoping the Uber Eats driver isn’t actually a character from The Purge? You do know it’s 2018, right?
Here’s your way in: Amazon’s Echo Spot — or as Mashable’s Ray Wong calls it, “Amazon’s best balance of size, price, and features on an Echo smart speaker yet” — is on sale for less than $100.
Amazon rarely puts the Echo Spot on sale by itself — they usually have a “buy two, save $40” deal, which is cool only if you’re really going to use two of them. Considering the Spot is one of Amazon’s two smart speakers with a touchscreen (the slightly bigger one is a whopping $229), getting this one for just $99 is a sweet steal.
Not only is the Spot ultra compact and adorable AF, but it’s also about to make your life significantly easier. The built-in camera affords some super convenient visual features, like hands-free video calling to anyone who has the Alexa app on their smartphone.
The Spot can also show recipe videos, flash video news briefings, music lyrics, and act as a visual clock or thermometer. The screen allows you to take smart home controls to a whole new level, such as live monitoring of baby monitors or outdoor security cameras. (If anything, you’re paying to make sure that the random noise you heard in the middle of the night wasn’t a serial killer.) No wonder the Spot was named a Mashable Choice product in 2017. (You can read Mashable’s full review on the Echo Spot here.)
Regularly $129.99, you can save $30 and snag the Echo Spot for just $99.99 here.
