Amazon’s Echo Show is on sale for $50 off

You know when you’re watching a movie or TV show set in the future and the world of tomorrow features video displays for phone calls in kitchens and living rooms? Where are these displays? 

Well, the future is now with the Echo Show and it’s on sale for $179.99 on Amazon. That’s a $50 savings and the lowest price the online retailer has ever offered for this item. Ever!

Normally retailing for $229.99, the all-new Echo Show is the second generation of Amazon’s best-selling smart video display. It’s more than just your average smart display because it’s powered with the Alexa voice assistant. 

Not only can you make video calls with Skype and stream your favorite pop tunes from Amazon Music and Spotify with the smart device’s premium Dolby speakers, but you can now watch films and TV shows from Hulu and Prime Video on its impressive 10.1-inch HD display— as well as get up-to-the-minute news reports, sports scores, and weather updates.

The Echo Show also makes for a handy kitchen companion with access to recipe videos, timers and alarms, and the ability to re-order kitchen products and ingredients from Amazon. Since your hands are full with chopping and slicing in the kitchen, you can access all of these features with just the sound of your voice, thanks to Alexa.

If you’re looking to convert your home into a futuristic smart home, start with the Echo Show. It can be your sole smart device for now, but if you choose to get more smart products (and let’s face it, you will), it can become your smart home hub.

But don’t just take our word for it. Amazon customer jtolley writes:

“So far we love the echo shows. My mom had a stroke a couple of years ago that left her unable to speak, therefore can not answer or talk on the phone. We got one to put in my mom’s nursing home room so we can drop in on her without her having to speak to answer and the kids can tell her about their day or just say hello when we can’t get over to visit. The speaker is phenomenal! I get better sound from the echo than I do from my stereo.”
