Amazon's Alexa-fueled Echo speakers are among the best smart speakers we've tested, both for smart home control and handy home organization features, and right now there are some fantastic deals offering savings as smart as the voice assistant itself. For example, right now you can score the popular, already affordable Echo Pop for $21.99 (was $39.99) at Amazon – not the lowest-ever price of $17.99 we saw in recent years, but a good deal nonetheless.

I've listed all the best early deals on Echo devices below, but there's one very important consideration before you shop Amazon Prime Day Echo deals: Alexa+. Amazon's new subscription tier for an enhanced Alexa experience is currently in Early Access, so it's no guarantee you'll get it anyway, but if you want your chance, you'll need to have an Echo Show 8, 10, 15 or 21 in your home.

As of writing, the only option on sale is the Echo Show 8, which is currently $109.99 (was $149.99) at Amazon – also a far cry from the lowest price we've seen on the device, which dipped as far as $80 last year. That was, however, a rarity; generally, its sale price lingers around $100.

The Echo Spot is already in my shopping cart, and I can't wait for it to arrive. Amazon's brand-new Echo Spot pairs a 2.83-inch touch screen with a 1.73-inch front-firing speaker, making it an ideal smart alarm clock. With Alexa onboard, you can ask the assistant for the weather, play music, or even schedule alarms. Today's early Prime Day deal is a return to the record-low price.
