This is not a drill: You can save $100 on Amazon when you buy two Echo Spots.

Smart devices are so great, right? You can control your lights, music, and TV with just the sound of your voice. But while they are becoming more ubiquitous every day, most smart devices are a bit impersonal. The Echo Spot is not like the others though: it’s a smart device that has personality to fit every need. So much in fact, that we’re giving these as gifts to everyone on our list this year — which is why we’re so excited about this deal.

The Echo Spot can do everything you’ve come to expect from Amazon devices, like show you the news, give you weather updates, play your music, and control your other smart devices via Alexa. The best part through is that you can pick and choose your own interface and display from a wide range of options.

If you want the Echo Spot to be an alarm clock, it has a clock face setting. If you want the Echo Spot to be your primary news source, it has a setting for various news outlets like CNN. If you want the Echo Spot to be your music hub, it works as a Bluetooth speaker that can show you music lyrics on its 2.5-inch touchscreen display with Amazon Music, as well as Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn, iHeartRadio, and Audible for audiobooks. The Amazon device can even be used for video chats or as a baby monitor when the Ring Video Doorbell or Amazon Cloud Cam are synced to it.

While one Echo Spot is on sale for $129.99 in honor of Black Friday, if you buy two, you can get them for just $159.98 — that’s a $100 savings.

Amazon customer Elizabeth Z writes:

“The Echo Spot is everything I thought it would be, and more. I love being able to play Prime videos and music from what essentially is taking the place of my alarm clock. It’s also great to be able to check in on my various security cameras and control my Philips Hue lights. The screen is small (as expected) but still has great playback quality. I really like the analog clock faces and it would be great if even more were released for some variety. I can’t think of any drawbacks to this product. It was worth the wait.”
