The 10 best Echo devices — which one are you buying during Black Friday?

Just like the continuous stream of new Kindles and Fire TV devices, Amazon has an ever-growing list of Echo devices — Echo Dot, Echo Show, Echo Auto, and now the Echo Spot alarm clock. Many of these devices also have multiple generations, and it’s a lot to keep straight. So, we’re here to help pull you out of that Echo chamber and find the best Echo devices for your smart home.

Keep in mind, you don’t need to buy these devices at full price. They’re guaranteed to go on sale during events like Prime Day and Black Friday. During the October Prime Big Deal Days sale, we saw discounts of up to 58% on devices like the Echo Pop, Dot, and Spot. So if you are going to buy an Amazon smart home device, it’s worth holding out until the next big event.

The next one is coming soon, as Black Friday falls on Nov. 29, 2024. Last week we spotted early deals that were fleeting, but we expect deals to come back around as we get closer.

What can an Echo smart speaker do?

All Echo devices are designed to utilize Amazon Alexa’s AI superpowers — it’s just a matter of which form you want your Echo to take. The Echo and Echo Dot are smart speakers, which you can use for music, phone calls, calendar reminders, or news alerts. Amazon Echo Show devices, on the other hand, can do all of the aforementioned audio stuff, but they also boast colorful displays for making video calls, streaming entertainment, or managing your day. Think of Echo Shows as tiny and more affordable tablets, essentially.

Most Echo devices are designed to act as smart hubs within your home, but some Echo devices can also be taken on the road. Echo Auto brings hands-free Alexa functionality to the car, while Echo Buds and Echo Frames can travel with you anywhere.
