Why You Can Trust CNET Amazon's Latest Echo Smart Speaker Returns to Its Lowest Price of 2023
Amazon is making it easier to add Alexa to more rooms in your home with this 35% discount on the fourth-gen Echo.
Finding great smart home deals is getting easier, as more options hit the market and increase competition. But for those outfitting your house with smart speakers, there's really no such thing as too many.
Whether you're grabbing your first smart speaker or you're adding to an already established setup, Amazon is making it more affordable to add its latest Echo speaker to your home with a 35% discount, which brings this Alexa speaker down to $65. We saw this device drop to this price back in March and it remains the lowest price we've seen in 2023 -- but this deal likely won't last for too long, so we suggest making your purchase sooner, rather than later. Best Buy has price-matched this deal as well.
Despite being released in 2020, the fourth-gen Echo is still the best overall Alexa device in the lineup. Its spheroidal design and fabric outer layer allow for improved sound quality over previous-gen models making it an ideal speaker for the kitchen or home office where you might want to stream from Spotify, Apple Music or Amazon Music HD.
Of course, the speaker is compatible with a whole host of smart home products and even features a built-in smart home hub for Zigbee and Matter devices. Alexa gives you voice control over compatible products as well as the ability to check the weather, create reminders, set timers and much more.
