Alexa just turned 8! To commemorate this major event, Amazon’s giving shoppers up to 50% off some of its best-selling and most popular Alexa-enabled devices.
It’s no secret that Amazon changed the game when it created Alexa, one of today’s most recognizable and widely used virtual assistants. From reporting the weather and the news to playing your favorite music and even making phone calls on your behalf, there’s so much it can do.
Right now, Alexa’s built into some of Amazon’s most popular, useful and practical tech devices that people use every day. From the Echo Dot Smart Speaker and the Fire TV Stick 4K Streaming Device to the Blink Video Doorbell With Two-Way Audio and HD Video and the best-selling Echo Show 8 HD Smart Display, there are so many to choose from.
To make shopping a bit easier, we’ve chosen six of the best deals from the sale, ranked from most to least off. These are actually products you’ll use daily, if not more often.
Check them all out in more detail below.
