Best Prime Day Alexa Dealson October 13, 2022 at 06:50 Tech Advisor
Amazon’s Echo speakers and Echo Show displays are some of the most popular smart home gadgets out there and you can save money by buying them on Prime Day, Amazon’s annual sale event.
We say annual, but in 2022, Amazon ran Prime Day twice, and discounted its Alexa range multiple times, so it’s by no means a once-a-year thing. It also runs a sale for Black Friday and tends to do the same just before Christmas.
Normally, you need to be an Amazon Prime member in order to access most of the discounts on Prime Day. However, that doesn’t seem to apply to Amazon’s Echo hardware as it clearly wants to get it into as many homes as possible. So you can get a cheaper Echo speaker or Echo Show smart display without being a Prime member.
If you want to purchase any of the Prime-exclusive deal items, though, you’ll need to subscribe. Of course, you get more than discounts with Amazon Prime: there’s free one-day delivery, Prime Video, Amazon Music and quite a few other things. You can get a free trial of Prime, providing you haven’t had it before.
Here, we’ve rounded up the best Amazon Echo deals available.
Amazon also slashes prices on its other hardware on Prime Day, including its Fire tablets, Fire TV Sticks as well as its Kindle range.
