Guess what’s back just in time for Prime Day? The Echo Spot! Remember that cool little alarm clock with a screen from Amazon? Yeah, it’s back, and this time it left the creepy camera at home.

This new Echo Spot is all about giving you the good stuff without the weird vibes. It’s still designed to be your nightstand buddy, with a sleek design and a screen to show you the time, weather, or whatever you ask Alexa about. Speaking of Alexa, that’s still the star of the show. You can use your voice to control music, check your smart home stuff, and even chat with other Alexa devices in your house.

But here’s the best part: this new Echo Spot is way cheaper than the last one. We’re talking $79.99 normally, or just $44.99 for Prime members ($35 off) during Prime Day (which is, like, right around the corner). Plus, the sound quality is supposed to be even better this time around, so your morning tunes will sound nice and crisp.

Oh, and did we mention it comes in fun new colors now? Black and white are still there, but you can also snag a snazzy blue one if that’s more your style. The screen itself can change colors too, and there are a bunch of different clock faces to choose from. Basically, you can customize this little guy to match your whole bedroom vibe.

If you’re looking for a smart speaker with a screen that won’t watch you sleep, the new Echo Spot is definitely worth checking out. It’s a great way to dip your toes into the smart home world without breaking the bank. Just don’t expect to watch Netflix on that tiny screen – it’s more for quick glances and tapping controls than full-on entertainment.
