Fast! Amazon Just Dropped Prices on Echo Shows – From $45 (Save Almost 50%)

Have you always dreamed of having a robot that makes your life easier like Rosie from The Jetsons? Unfortunately, we’re not quite there yet – although I suppose you could strap a mannequin to a Roomba – but Echo Shows are a nice substitute! These nifty smart assistants can help simplify your day by telling you the weather, controlling your smart tech, and even managing your grocery list. And right now Amazon has slashed prices in a serious sale Worth your attention: up to 53% off with prices starting at $45.

First comes the bat echo show 5, a small device with a lot of power. Despite its small size, you can stream music and videos from your favorite services, check the morning news and even make video calls with its 2 megapixel camera. Concerned about privacy? Don’t be — a built-in shutter can be flipped to block the camera, and Amazon offers plenty of tools to minimize the risk of the Echo Show hearing something it’s not supposed to hear.

“My son integrated his room with Alexa. She wakes him up with the weather report, helps him keep an eye on his 3D printer while he carries out long and complicated jobs, plays quiet music while he does his homework, and reminds him when he needs to of days when it’s not the regular schedule is to go to sports training. She also turns his lights on and off on demand.” said one happy parent.

Next you have the echo show 8 – all in all, the bigger, better version of the Echo Show 5. Well, maybe not better, but damn good. Both devices serve different purposes, although they share mostly the same features. The Echo Show 8 has a 13-megapixel camera and it actually keeps you centered and focused on video calls as long as you’re in the camera’s field of view. It’s also the perfect size to be a digital photo frame when not in use!

Said one who cooks a lot“We placed the Echo Show 8 in the kitchen as I seem to spend a large part of my day in this room. I like the bigger screen and the sound quality is great. Plus, when someone activates our Ring Doorbell, the Echo Family will automatically show me who’s at the front door.”

The biggest, baddest (as in most radical) version of the powerful intelligent assistant is the echo show 15. Practically a standalone TV, this 15-inch screen is definitely a good option for watching your favorite shows. In fact, it even comes with a Fire TV remote for easy navigation of Prime Video, Hulu, and many others. Add in the fact that there are widgets – something no other Echo Show has – and you have an organizational powerhouse that can become the focal point of the home.

The widgets can display your to-do list, shopping list, weather, calendar and much more. There’s even built-in facial recognition, so each family member sees their own customized screen. Of course it can also do everything that the other units can do; it just does more.

The Echo Show 15 is my personal favorite smart display, and I have one in my kitchen and one in my office. I don’t know how I would get through the day without them as they help me keep a very busy life organized and on track.

“This is by far one of my favorite electronics! It allows me to integrate calendars, create multiple shipping and shopping lists, leave sticky notes for family and when not in use I turn it into a digital picture frame!! It recognizes our Voices”, said one five-star reviewer. “I can easily pull up recipes while cooking – it’s hanging in our kitchen. My kids also love listening to music on Amazon Music. Absolute love!”

If you have Amazon Prime, of course free shipping. Not a member yet? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And the one without, by the way Prime You can still get free shipping on orders over $25.)
