Voice assistants like Alexa can make your life easier by controlling your smart gadgets, creating shopping lists, organizing your day, and more. So when we found the Amazon Echo Show 5 on sale for $60 at Amazon, we knew we’d struck gold.
With an MSRP of $90, the Echo Show 5 is the cheapest it’s been this year outside of Prime Day. Now, however, you don’t need a Prime subscription to get your hands on a discounted smart display.
The Echo Show 5 features a 5.5-inch display that lets you check out the news, get weather forecasts, or even review footage from your Ring cameras or video doorbells. You can even ask Alexa on the Echo Show to turn off the lights in the other rooms.
When you’re not using it for anything in particular, the Echo Show 5 can act as a digital frame, perfect for enjoying your latest vacation pictures. This smart display even allows video calls via the 2MP camera. (Don’t worry–you can always close the physical shutter for privacy).
While haven’t reviewed this exact model, we did review the larger Echo Show 8 and gave it a 4-star rating plus our Editors’ Choice award, with our reviewer praising the sound quality as well as the adaptive display content.
So go ahead and get yourself one of these awesome $60 Echo Show 5 displays at Amazon before the deal expires.
