Bossing around Alexa is part of my job, and I can tell you for free that these Amazon Echo deals are hard to beat

For a great all-rounder, look no further than the Echo Dot, just $3 higher than its lowest-ever price. I love Amazon's best-selling smart speaker for its decent audio experience, temperature sensor and, of course, great Alexa performance.

Also $3 more than its lowest-ever price, we've got one of Amazon's budget-friendly small smart speakers, the Echo Pop for just $24.99. For that money, you're getting a compact smart speaker with Alexa built in, so you can play music, ask questions, and check the weather completely hands-free.

The Echo Spot is a personal favorite, pairing a 2.83-inch touch screen with a 1.73-inch front-firing speaker for the ultimate smart alarm clock. At list price, there's room for improvement where value is concerned, but for Big Deals Day it returns to its record-low price, making it a must-have.

Amazon's best-selling Echo Show 5 is on sale for only $54.99 in today's sale, the lowest price we've seen all year and most of 2024. The 2023 Echo Show 5 features a compact 5.5-inch display but packs impressive sound with deeper bass and clearer vocals. With Amazon Alexa, you can listen to podcasts, movies, music, and more. The Kids edition is also on sale for $54.99 (was $99.99).

If you want some more screen real estate for streaming, photos and more, Amazon has the latest Echo Show 8 on sale for $99.99; another low price we've not seen for over a year. With Alexa on board, this screen is great for hands-free action in any room, and it's also eligible for the Alexa+ Early Access program.

For the low price of £22.99, you can snag the most affordable Echo device, the Echo Pop. I found it was fun, if somewhat basic, in my Echo Pop review; it's a compact smart speaker with Alexa built in, so you can play music, ask questions, and check the weather hands-free. It has fallen to £17.99 in the past for Prime members, which I'd still argue is the most you should pay; but with its sale price progressively creeping up, you might want to act fast to save some £££s.

Amazon's best-selling Echo Dot is just shy of £30 for Prime Day – a decent deal, though I've seen it drop to a record-low of £21.99. Nevertheless, the Echo Dot offers a decent audio experience, plus a new temperature sensor. Of course, there's also ample Alexa assistance on-board too, making for a well-rounded smart speaker.

With £35 off the list price for Prime Day, the Echo Spot is back to its record-low price, making it the deal of the day. With a neat display and wake-up alerts, this compact smart speaker can play music, check the weather, and control other smart devices throughout your home all from your bedside table.

For a smaller smart home display, look no further than the latest generation Echo Show 5, now on sale for £49.99. That's only £5 more than the record low, so it's a decent deal on a neat little screen that can hep around the home. It's packed with features and includes the Amazon Alexa assistant for easy voice controls to get alerts, weather updates, play music, watch videos, and more.

For a slightly larger smart home display, there's the latest Echo Show 8, now on sale for £89.99 – that's a return to its record-low price. With an eight-inch display for making calls, watching movies, checking the weather, and controlling compatible smart home devices completely hands-free thanks to Alexa compatibility, this speaker also offers room-filling spatial audio; score!
