Amazon’s current Echo range offers a wide selection of smart speakers and displays that fit just about anywhere in your home. Whether you want to place a voice assistant in your living room, replace the bulletin board in your office, or use a touchscreen device to present recipes in the kitchen, there’s an Echo device for just about every occasion and use.
Regardless of why you might want one, there’s also a way to save on an Echo device, from the last-gen Dot to the wall-mounted Echo Show 15. Even when they’re sold at full price, for example, Amazon offers a 25 percent discount when you trade in certain devices, meaning there are other ways to save money if none of the models are on sale.
Below, we’ve rounded up the best deals available on every device in Amazon’s Echo lineup. Many of the current discounts are similar to those we saw during Amazon Prime Day — which isn’t too surprising given Amazon’s Early Access sale starts tomorrow, October 11, and runs through October 12. Also, keep in mind that Best Buy also offers $10 off the price of a pair of Echo devices in many cases, giving you an extra way to save if you want to outfit your home with more than one smart speaker or screen.
