$60 off/Echo Hub

The Amazon early Black Friday deals are ramping up this morning ahead of the its official start date tomorrow. We just spotted a series of Echo smart speakers at up to 56% off and now we are getting another relatively rare chance at savings on the Amazon Echo Hub with Alexa+ Early Access. 

Regularly $180, Amazon is now offering its touchscreen Echo Hub down at the same $119.99 shipped we tracked for both Prime Day events this year. The 33% in savings is on par with the lowest price we have tracked all-time and only the third time we have seen it down this low on Amazon. 

This is the same 8-inch touchscreen smart home hub we featured at the top of last month, but it now comes along with early access to Amazon’s new enhanced Alexa+ AI assistant features – access will remain free after the early access period for Prime members. 

Beyond that, this is an Alexa-enabled control panel for your smart home devices – make use of the touchscreen or “just ask Alexa or tap the display to control lights, smart plugs, camera feeds, and more.” Alongside compatibility with “thousands of connected locks, thermostats, speakers, and more (WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Matter, Sidewalk and Thread devices),” users can customize on-screen controls and widgets and view camera feeds right from the display. 

All-in-all, it’s a notably elegant and centralized option for taking command of the intelligent gear scattered throughout your home, especially if you’re already invested in an Alexa ecosystem.
