Which Amazon Echo should you buy on Prime Day?

By

With Prime Day deals looming on the horizon, you’ll need to know what Amazon Echo devices you should buy. We’ll break down exactly what they are, along with all the juicy reasons! Just remember to keep your eyes on the lookout because we have some Prime Day Amazon Echo deals you don’t want to miss out on.

When it comes to the cream of the crop, the Amazon Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) sits at the top of the heap within the lineup. That’s because it excels at both the functions of a smart speaker and a smart display. With the former, it’s just as good at playing tunes as its smart speaker peers by boasting strong volumes, heart-thumping bass, and room-filling sound to cover big spaces in the home. What truly sets it apart, though, is the rotating base that enables the display to follow you wherever you go — so that it’s always in line of sight. And finally, it provides home security peace of mind with its camera, which effectively turns it into a security camera.

If your budget is tight for Prime Day, then consider getting the Amazon Echo Dot with Clock (4th Gen). It’s one of the many variants of the Amazon Echo Dot (4th Gen), but it features embedded LEDs that allow you to instantly see the time — instead of having to ask Alexa. Besides showing the time, the LEDs can also show the temperature and timer countdown. Even though its audio performance is nowhere as powerful as its siblings, it’s still more than enough to cover smaller spaces.

When it comes to offering the most bang for the buck, it has to be none other than the Amazon Echo (4th Gen). When you need a smart speaker that offers superior sound without breaking the bank, the Amazon Echo (4th Gen) gets the job done. You can absolutely expect a deal on this for Prime Day, but did you know that you can leverage the Echo for a sweet wireless stereo sound setup at home using two speakers? It’s just one of the many things that this versatile smart speaker could do.

Amazon Echo Show 8

Similar to Amazon’s flagship speaker, the Amazon Echo Show 8 paints itself as the all-around Echo Show smart display. Yes, you have its larger big brother in the Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen) that we mentioned earlier, but the Echo Show 8 is substantially easier on the pockets — while still offering some of the best features of its sibling. For starters, its built-in camera allows users to video chat with other Alexa users. And thanks to its smaller size, it’s able to fit in more places like a nightstand.

"Alexa, how's my vision?"

Amazon recently announced that for Prime Day, it's discounting the Echo Frames, the company's smart glasses wearable, to just $100. In addition, you'll be able to get a prescription-ready version of these glasses or a shades variant for only $20 more. Seeing that the original price of these frames starts at $250, it seems like a great deal. The real question is if they are worth even $100 of your hard-earned cash.

Echo Show 15 with base.

There was a time when it was easy to choose which Amazon Echo device to buy because there wasn’t much of a selection. These days, Amazon has an entire stable of devices ready to respond and carry out your commands. That makes things a bit trickier for those who are looking to pick up their first (or add another) Echo device among Prime Day Amazon Echo deals. You can also review some of the best deals year round.

We’ve tested and tried each Echo device to find the best of the lot. This year, we think it’s the Echo Show 10. With its high-quality 360-degree speaker, a large screen, and the ability to pan around the room to double as a security camera or video conferencing dynamo, it’s a great all-around choice. Even so, depending on how you want to use an Echo Show and how much space you have, there’s certainly a case to be made for other Echo devices.
