Amazon’s Echo Show 5 is a great little smart home hub and in general just a great smart display, and right now you can pick it up on sale with Amazon’s current deal. The price is normally $89.99 but Amazon has dropped the price down to $44.99. This is the same price it’s been since Black Friday, so it’s not a new price, but it is a great price.
What’s sort of unprecedented is Amazon keeping a product of its own at 50% off this long after the big sale days like Prime Day or Black Friday. But, Amazon has seen fit to keep the Echo Show 5 at this lower cost for now. So if you missed the deal during Black Friday and assumed it was back up to the regular price, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to learn that it’s not.
The Echo Show 5 is a smart display so it does all kinds of things. You can use it for video chat, cycling through photos, and even shopping for stuff on Amazon. In fact, if you use it for shopping, it’s an awesome device to have in the kitchen. Then as soon as you realize you’re running low on pantry items, paper towels, dish soap, etc. you can buy it right on the Echo Show 5.
It’s also an excellent smart home hub. If you have smart lights and other smart devices around the home, you can use this device to control them. The Echo Show 5 has support for Alexa as well. So you can just use it for simple voice-controlled tasks or questions. You can even use it to watch content from Prime Video. So if you’re in the kitchen cooking and want to catch up on a favorite show or movie, you can pop it on. There are apps for streaming music too, and it sounds decent enough on the integrated speaker.
