That’s the exact same massive discount that was offered exclusively to Prime members when the latest and greatest Echo Spot model first went on sale three weeks ago, the difference being that Best Buy’s surprise new deal comes with no special conditions and no strings attached whatsoever. Oh, and in case you’re wondering, the Echo Spot (2024) is no longer marked down by a single penny at its manufacturer.
Because of that and because Best Buy is already out of inventory in a snazzy “Ocean Blue” color, you should probably hurry up and pull the trigger as soon as possible on your choice of a black or glacier white-coated alarm clock with a 2.83-inch display and 1.73-inch front-firing speaker in tow.
Not quite as powerful or as versatile as an Echo Show smart display, the Echo Spot obviously lacks support for video calling or Netflix content streaming while allowing you to play music from a number of different platforms, set various timers and alarms, control compatible smart home devices, provide weather updates, news briefings, and answers to many questions you might have.
Everything is done by voice, of course, with users never actually having to lift a finger, although if you want, you can also touch the little screen to control your audio content and easily navigate between various menus and settings. In short, the new Echo Spot has a lot going for it, especially at only 45 bucks.
