Amazon’s first-generation Echo is now just $50 shipped (Refurb, Orig. $180)

$50

Amazon offers its Echo 1st Generation in certified refurbished condition for $49.99 shipped. Originally $180, it’s been falling in price recently. This beats our last mention by $10. With the holidays fast approaching, Amazon’s Alexa-only deals will only grow. This is a great way to get into the ecosystem while still getting a good speaker to use for other things like listening to music. Rated 4.3/5 stars from thousands and includes a 1-year warranty.

Though this isn’t Amazon’s “latest and greatest”, it’s a nice budget-friendly option to get into the Alexa ecosystem.
