Score an absurdly cheap Echo Show 5 (2nd Gen) for Prime Day
Including discounts on the adjustable stand and the Kids Edition with a Mickey Mouse stand!
The Echo Show 5 is one of our favorite Alexa speakers, with a petite design that fits easily on a bedside table or kitchen counter without taking up too much room. And while it's quite affordable at full price, Prime Day 2022 has seen it drop to just $35, a $50 discount, making it more compelling than ever.
It's our second-favorite Echo device behind the Echo Show 8, currently priced at $75 for Prime Day, but downgraded specs are to be expected with a budget model. What's compelling about the Echo Show 5 is that it has the same upgraded AZ1 chip for ultra-fast Alexa responses as the Echo Show 8 and 10, so you're getting the same performance where it counts.
You'll also want to take into account whether or not you want the adjustable stand, which ensures you get a better angle and more elevated view for an extra $12. Or if you're hoping to pair your Echo Show with some Blink cameras for DIY home security, you'll spot bundles like a $10 Blink Mini or $200 off a 3-camera Blink Outdoor bundle with the Echo Show 5.
And if you want to snag a smart display for your child aged 6-12, the Echo Show 5 Kids Edition costs a mere $40 at 58% off and is another one of our favorites, giving kids a way to get help with homework or play games while also protecting their privacy. There's even a cute Mickey Mouse stand add-on for the Disney-loving kid in your life!
