The Echo Spot is the top-selling Alexa speaker, and it is easy to see why. Compared to the Echo Dot or Pop, which offer the voice assistant of Alexa without a display, the Echo Spot features a bright adjustable display that takes the entire smart home experience to an entirely new level. For a few dollars more, you’ve got a device that isn’t just smarter but also much more useful. To mark Prime Day, Amazon is offering the newest Echo Spot for its all-time lowest price of just $44, half its regular price of $79. If you want an even better bargain, you can get a bundle that includes the Echo Spot and an Amazon Basics Smart Color Bulb for $49, saving you $43 off the regular price. Both are Prime Day exclusives, so you’ll need to be a Prime member (or have a 30-day free trial) to get them.

You can personalize the clock face and choose fun colors to reflect your personality. But the screen is not merely cosmetic: it’s interactive, where you can touch to manage music, alarms and smart home appliances. In spite of the miniature size, it produces rich and room-filling sound with clear voices and good bass. You can ask Alexa to play music from your preferred streaming services, and the screen displays song titles and album artwork. One of the best things about the Echo Spot is that it can make your day start and end better: You can have Alexa routines wake you up to music and gradually increasing light so you won’t be jolted awake by a loud alarm. At a glance, you can see the time, check reminders or ask Alexa to give you a weather report before you head out. The Echo Spot also makes it simple to control compatible smart home devices: just tell Alexa to turn the lights on, adjust the temperature, or open the blinds. If you’re looking for an Alexa speaker that will do more than answer questions, the Echo Spot is the clear choice. See Echo Spot at Amazon See Echo Spot + Smart Bulb offer
