Looking for a new smart speaker? You're in luck! Amazon has a ton of deals on the Echo, and you can snag one for less than $50. Whether you want to jam out to music, control your smart home devices, or just ask Alexa a question, the Echo makes life just a little bit easier.

Here are our top picks for the best Echo smart speaker deals ahead of Prime Day:

Best deal overall

Why we like it

For under $50, you can get an Echo Dot (5th gen) and a Kasa smart plug mini. That's a pretty sweet deal, considering the Echo Dot alone usually costs around $70, and the Kasa smart plug mini is another $10.

With the Echo Dot, you can do all sorts of things, like play your favorite music, control your smart home devices, and ask Alexa questions. It's a compact and sleek device with impressive sound quality for its size. And with the Kasa smart plug mini, you can control any device that plugs into an outlet using your voice or the Kasa app.

Best runner-up deal

Why we like it

Need a new alarm clock? Check out the Echo Dot (5th gen, 2022 release). It's got all the features of the Echo Dot, plus a built-in LED display that shows the time, weather, and even song titles if you ask.

And with the built-in eero, you can boost your WiFi coverage by up to 1,000 square feet. It comes in cloud blue or glacier white, so you can pick the one that matches your style.

Best budget deal

Why we like it

If you're on a tighter budget, you can get an Echo Pop with Kasa smart plug for less than $20! It's a compact Bluetooth speaker that lets you stream music from your favorite apps and control smart home devices with voice commands, like an Echo Dot. Plus, it comes in fun colors like lavender and midnight teal.
