Amazon’s Echo Pop is a massive $15 / £22 off this Prime Day – it’s time I finally upgraded my 9-year-old Echo Dot
Curse you Amazon for making trading up so irresistible

I first bought my trusty Echo Dot nearly a decade ago and, while it's still going strong, I'm finally ready to admit I might be overdue an upgrade. While the offer of better sound and smarter features is certainly tempting, what's pushed me over the edge is discovering you can currently buy the Amazon Echo Pop for $24.99 (was $39.99) at Amazon US.

That's a truly cracking Amazon Prime Day deal. But if you're based in the UK, there's no reason to feel left out: the Echo Pop is reduced there too, going for £22.99 (was £44.99) at Amazon UK. Either way, you'll be getting a great price, making this one of the cheapest smart speakers on the market.
Today's best Amazon Echo Pop Prime Day deals
The cheapest device in Amazon's smart speaker lineup, the Echo Pop is a pocket-sized smart home hub that packs plenty of style and offers talented voice control. And with this solid $15 discount, it's even more affordable.
As well as using the Echo Pop to play tunes from music services like Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music and Deezer, you can also use it to control your smart home devices, set timers, make calls and so much more. And thanks to this sizable £22 discount, you can now get it nearly half price. Bargain.
As an Echo early adopter, I rushed out and bought an Echo Dot pretty much as soon as they were available. Unfortunately, as a complacent gadget owner, I've taken a very leisurely attitude to upgrading since then, meaning that I've had my smallest smart speaker for nine years now. Which is pretty ridiculous, given I've owned four different iPhones during that time.
So, begrudgingly, even I would admit it might be time to upgrade. In our Amazon Echo Pop review, we commended the small-scale smart speaker for its fun looks and responsive Alexa voice control, making it a decent option for me to replace my Dot with. And while we criticized it at the time for not being sufficiently cheap compared to the Dot, this discount completely obliterates that criticism, making it a decent value option.
There's also one extra benefit to this super-low price – you can buy multiple units and hook them up to form one of the cheapest multi-room speaker systems I've ever seen. OK, if you really care about audio quality, you might want to spend more than the price of a family-sized pizza on each speaker. But if your biggest priority is getting synchronized sound into every room in your house, this is almost certainly the cheapest way for you to achieve it.
