Amazon Echo devices drop to $17 for October Prime Day — 9 deals I recommend
These are the best Echo devices I've seen this year
Amazon’s second Prime Day event of the year arrives next week. Prime Big Deal Days, also known as October Prime Day, will offer loads of discounts and savings on Amazon’s own devices are practically guaranteed to take center stage. But you don’t need to wait until October 10 to pick up an Echo Dot or Echo Show on the cheap.
Ahead of its next major sales event, Amazon has already begun discounting several of its most popular Echo products, and there are plenty of deals worth shouting about. In fact, this Amazon smart device sale includes some of the best Echo device deals that I've seen all year — and I track deals for Tom's Guide every single day.
The best deals include the all-new Echo Show 5 for $39 as well as the already budget-friendly Echo Pop for $17. In fact, the Pop has now dropped to a new lowest price ever, making it an even more enticing purchase if you want a compact smart speaker that can be placed just about anywhere in your home.
While we could see some of these Echo devices drop lower during the two-day Amazon sales event, now is still an excellent time to buy as several have dropped to an all-time low price. And these aren't the only early Prime Day deals you won't want to miss, either. See our Amazon coupon code guide for even more ways to save.

This is the cheapest Alexa speaker offered by Amazon, and it’s now been slashed to a new all-time low price ahead of October Prime Day 2023.
