Echo Spot (2024) — Prime Day deal: ~$45 (record low)

Amazon’s Echo Spot (updated 2024 model) is on sale for about $45 during Prime Day — a record-low price for the compact Alexa-powered bedside smart display. It’s pitched as a modern smart alarm clock with a sharper screen and improved speakers compared with earlier versions.

Key points

• Price: ~ $45 (record low during Prime Day)
• Display: Sharper than previous model — shows time, weather, music info and artwork
• Sound: Improved speakers for better bedside audio
• Privacy: Reportedly lacks a camera, making it a good option for nightstand use
• Smart features: Alexa built-in for alarms, smart-home control, and media — but fewer features than larger Echo Show devices

Prime Day timing

Prime Day deals (including Echo discounts) are expected around October 7, 2024.

Should you buy it?

If you want a straightforward bedside smart alarm with a screen and better sound but prefer no camera by your bed, this deal is worth a look. If you want a more feature-rich smart display (video calls, larger screen), consider an Echo Show model instead.
