"There's no shortage of Amazon Prime Day Echo deals happening right now. I've tried nearly every single Echo Amazon has made, from the tower-like original Echo that sat in my first postgrad apartment to the swath of Echo Show devices you can find in my home right now while I test Alexa+'s early access. But while you'll find several of Amazon's smart speakers on sale, there's only one I recommend investing in right now."
"Why? Amazon has four new smart speakers and displays coming later this fall, perfectly timed to be available ahead of Black Friday. If you're looking for room-filling sound or the best of Alexa's abilities, it'll be better to wait for the new Echo Studio ($220) or the new Echo Show 8 ($180) that will have updated features, better sound and screen quality, and Alexa+ access right out of the box."
"That's right, the second-generation Echo Spot is my top pick smart speaker to purchase during Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days this October. It came out last year and was an update to the previously retired 2017 smart speaker. It's a smart speaker I love to come back to since it's just fun compared to the rest of Amazon's (and any other major smart speaker maker) ecosystem of smart speakers."
Amazon is offering Prime Day discounts across its Echo lineup while preparing four new smart speakers and displays for release this fall. Buyers seeking room-filling audio or full Alexa capabilities should wait for the new Echo Studio and the new Echo Show 8, which offer improved sound, screen quality, and Alexa+ access. The second-generation Echo Spot provides a compact, screen-equipped option for bedside use, customizable clock faces, and alarm display underneath the time. The Spot emphasizes personality without large screens or cameras and suits users wanting a smaller, playful smart speaker companion during current sales.
