Echo speakers and displays are often heavily discounted during Prime Day, Amazon’s annual sales event, and are big sales drivers ahead of new product launches in the fall. Each year, Amazon offers some of the best discounts of the year on its devices during Prime Day, making it a great time to buy.
As someone who’s purchased several Echo devices during past Prime Day events, I always recommend people wait until the July sale to buy them. But so many options can be overwhelming, so ZDNET has gathered the best Prime Day deals on Echo devices you can find right now. We’ll continue to update this list as Prime Day unfolds.
