Amazon Echo Just $99.99!

Disclosure Statement

I just wanted to take a second to talk about this deal because after highlighting it on my Facebook Live video a few weeks ago, a number of you were interested and had more questions.

First the deal specs: head over to Amazon to save 44% off the Amazon Echo. For a limited time you can score it for just $99.99, which is a seriously CRAZY good deal. The Echo normally goes for $179.99.

Last year for Prime Day *and* Black Friday, it was $40 off — at $139.99.

One time in the last two years, this has dropped down to $129.99…

Today, however, you will be scoring an unbelievable deal at $99.99. (The only time it’s been priced lower was Prime Day of this year, when it was $89.99).

We got the Echo for my husband a few months ago for his birthday — oy, it pains me that we paid $139! (and I thought I was doing well at the time!)– and he LOVES it!

As for me, I’m not a very “techy” person and am never an “early adapter” to new technology, but I’m surprised by how much I like the Echo.

I LOVE the speaker quality on this. It is so good — sounds like a MUCH more expensive speaker. Think: Bose. I use the Echo primarily to play music and podcasts, and to get answers to quick kitchen questions (like “how many cups are in gallon” or “what’s a good substitute for buttermilk?”).

But that just scratches the surface of what the Echo can do, which includes:

  • Plays all your music from Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, and more using just your voice
  • Introducing Alexa calling and messaging, a new way to be together with family and friends. Just ask Alexa to call or message anyone with an Echo, Echo Dot, or the Alexa App.
  • Fills the room with immersive, 360º omni-directional audio
  • Hears you from across the room with far-field voice recognition, even while music is playing
  • Answers questions, reads the news, reports traffic and weather, reads audiobooks from Audible, gives info on local businesses, provides sports scores and schedules, and more using the Alexa Voice Service
  • Controls lights, fans, switches, thermostats, garage doors, sprinklers, locks, and more with compatible connected devices from WeMo, Philips Hue, Samsung SmartThings, Nest, ecobee, and others
  • Always getting smarter and adding new features, plus thousands of skills like Ube, DISH, and more

You can check out a live “demo” of the Echo from my FB Live video below. Jump forward to about 2:45 in to the video.
