Few utilities reduce labor in my house as much as using a voice assistant: I use it for turning out the lights, arming the alarm, summoning the vacuum, suggesting recipe substitutions, or doing math. To that end, I am always within speaking range of a device in my home to catch my requests. If your assistant of choice is Alexa, today is the (prime) day to grab more devices or upgrade the ones you have, as they are being offered up to 50% off.
Echo Pop
Not only are these little Pops the cheapest way to put a speaker in each room, I actually prefer them in most cases. These are small enough to stay out of the way, mounted to your ceiling or stowed on a shelf. The speakers are powerful enough to pump music through them at a good level, and they come in fun colors.

Echo Spot
A small upgrade from the Pop, the Spot is destined for your nightstand, with a clock on its display face. That face is customizable, and while all Alexa devices can be set up with alarms, this is specifically meant to emulate an alarm clock.

Echo Dot
Another Pop clone, the Dot was meant to improve specifically on the speaker aspect, giving more vibrant sound, deeper bass and clearer vocals. The shape is rounder, but it can still be wall or ceiling mounted with the right mount, and looks at home on a shelf.

Echo Show 10
Moving from purely a speaker to a display, I've come to really enjoy my kitchen Show. Yes, it offers the same assistant as Pops and Dots, but I can also stream video, so I can watch a recipe, or just binge watch The Bear while I do dishes. Pro-tip: get a screen protector. Slippery hands and glass displays, you know?

Kids Echo Dot
Still a dot, but in fun designs for kids including an owl and dragon. Kids devices also offer advanced parental controls.

Echo Show 15
A full 15.6 inch HD display, the nicest part of this Show model is that it has Fire TV built in, with a remote and comes in a frame.
