Amazon isn’t playing games until Prime Day 2024. Amazon devices are known for getting upgrades regularly, and who doesn’t love a good upgrade? In 2019, when Amazon discontinued the wildly popular Amazon Spot speaker, customers weren’t thrilled. Fast forward to 2024 and it all makes sense. The just-launched Amazon Echo Spot smart speaker and alarm clock is the ultimate comeback story. Echo Spot features powerful audio quality, sharp visuals, a vibrant display and of course, the iconic hemispherical shape that’s perfectly designed to fit any nightstand. Oh, and Amazon already has the new speaker listed as an early Prime Day deal at 44% off, exclusively for Prime members. Below, we break down everything you need to know about the Echo Spot and how to save $35 on it today.

What is Amazon Echo Spot?

The new Amazon Echo Spot is a smart home hub, speaker, alarm clock, and more. The compact 1.73-inch speaker fits comfortably on a bedside table and clearly displays the time, weather updates, song titles and more. It can connect with other Alexa-enabled Amazon smart devices to help you automate all kinds of everyday tasks, including turning on the lights, locking the doors, and even turning on your coffee maker! The design is super easy to use with just three buttons on the top of the small speaker to control volume and mute the device.

How much does the Amazon Echo Spot cost?

The Amazon Echo Spot retails for $79.99, but Amazon Prime members can get an exclusive 44% discount and make calls for just $44.99 to Wednesday, July 17. We don’t always see discounts on brand new devices, so with an extra $35 off before Amazon Prime Day 2024, this Amazon device deal is definitely worth checking out!

Has Amazon Spot been discontinued?

yes The Amazon Spot smart alarm clock with Alexa support was discontinued in 2019 and replaced by the wildly popular Amazon Echo in 2020 and later by the sleek Amazon Echo Pop in 2023. The 2024 Amazon Echo Spot marks the first reintroduction of Spot since 2019 onwards.

Are Amazon’s smart speakers really worth it?

Absolutely. We’ve tested a lot of smart speakers, and overall our favorite is the Amazon Echo (4th generation), and our favorite for small spaces is the Amazon Echo Pop. The fabric-covered Echo has rich sound, a built-in temperature sensor to deploy smart thermostat automation, and multi-room speaker functionality.

The Amazon Echo Pop was the smallest Echo speaker until the arrival of the Echo Spot. The Echo Pop is a streamlined speaker with direct functionality. It offers decent sound quality for such a small device, has a single power port and comes in playful colors that add personality to any space.
