With this Prime-exclusive offer, why wait for next week’s Big Deal Days sale?
Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sale starts on October 8 and runs for a whopping six days, but the online retail giant has jumped its own gun and started offering early deals that are exclusive to Prime members, and one of the current highlights is the record-low price on the Echo Spot.
It’s Amazon’s newest compact smart speaker that can slot into any room, but is best for the bedroom as it displays the time and has no onboard camera. It was announced only in July for a retail price of AU$149, but is now down to just AU$99 – a very decent 34% price drop. It’s available in black, white and blue colourways to suit any decor, plus it excels with its surprisingly good sound quality and Alexa functionality means it can do a whole bunch more than just stream music.
Amazon Echo Spot smart speaker | AU$149 AU$99 (save AU$50)
We were surprised in our Amazon Echo Spot (2024) review by how good its audio quality is, and Alexa smarts gives you quick voice access to weather updates, the latest news and control over your other smart home tech. While some will be disappointed by the lack of a camera (you can opt for the Echo Show 5 which gets a 30% discount), it actually made us feel more comfortable putting it in our bedroom.
Our review isn’t exactly glowing – calling it « more smart alarm than speaker » – but the number one issue we had was its price.
