The 1st gen. Amazon Echo Smart Speaker delivers Alexa, more for $50 (Orig. $180)

$50

Woot offers the first generation Echo Smart Smart Speaker in black for $49.99. Free shipping is available for Prime members otherwise a $6 delivery free applies. Originally $180, Amazon’s original smart speaker is down to the second best new condition price we’ve tracked. If you’re not ready to pay the higher prices of Amazon’s current Echo lineup, this is a great way to dive in. Alexa delivers access to a wide range of features, including smart home control, news, streaming audio and more. Rated 4.3/5 stars.

(Update 3/13 11:20am): Musician’s Friend is offering the Alesis Elevate 3 MKII Powered Desktop Studio Speakers for $59.99 shipped (Reg. $100). Rated 4+ stars.

If you’re looking to save even further, consider going with a previous generation Echo Dot. Certified refurbished models are currently selling for over 50% less than today’s featured deal at Woot. You’ll miss out on a higher quality speaker, but still enjoy Alexa control and various other features.
