Starting July 6, Prime members can purchase a free Sengled smart bulb (opens in new tab) valued at $14.99 when they order a fourth-generation Echo or Echo Dot (opens in new tab) (which are both convenient at record-low prices of $59.99 (opens in new tab) and $19.99 (opens in new tab), respectively). Any Alexa-enabled speaker can be used to control the lamp once connected, making this a nice little starter kit for anyone new to the whole ‘smart home’ thing. Not sure which speaker is the best choice for you? Here’s a quick overview:
Powered by a fast AZ1 Neural Edge processor, Echo (opens in new tab) (released 2020) features rich Dolby Stereo sound, an integrated smart home hub that works with Zigbee devices, and a sleek, spherical design with a fabric finish. $60 is a return to the all-time low price from last Black Friday (it normally retails for $99.99), and it’s hard to see it getting any cheaper. Get it if you want a premium smart speaker with great sound. The Echo Dot (opens in new tab) (also released in 2020) is a miniature version of the standard Echo that ditches the Dolby processing and Zigbee hub. However, you still get hands-free voice control and decent sound. At just $19.99 before Prime Day (regularly $49.99), it’s never been this cheap before. Get it if you want an entry-level smart speaker with a low price.
You have until the end of the day on Wednesday, July 13 (the second half of Prime Day) to make up your mind and start your free Sengled smart light bulb offer.
