Amazon’s fourth-gen Echo is our pick for the best overall smart speaker you can buy. It offers solid sound and even won an Editors’ Choice Award thanks to Alexa and the built-in Zigbee radio. It also alerts you if a smoke alarm sounds or if it detects the sound of glass breaking. Right now, you can score one with a smart bulb for just $65, $35 less than the usual cost of the speaker alone. And if you’re looking for a budget smart speaker, you can’t beat the fifth-gen Echo Dot. You can grab one with a bonus smart bulb for $20 less, bringing the amount you’ll pay to just $30.
For smart displays that can act as an alarm, calendar, home hub, digital display, indoor cam and even a smart speaker, you can grab the Echo Show 8, one of our favorite smart displays, for just $95 with the bonus smart bulb. Or you can snag the smaller Echo Show 5 bundle for just $65 right now. That’s a savings of $55 and $25, respectively, plus the smart bulb freebie.
