Throw out your dusty old alarm clock and replace it with Amazon's Echo Spot, a compact smart speaker with a clock display. Get access to the Alexa voice assistant at any time, use your voice to set your alarm, get weather and news updates, control other smart devices and more.

Amazon 's Prime Big Deal Days sale starts on October 8 and runs for a whopping six days, but the online retail giant has jumped its own gun and started offering early deals that are exclusive to Prime members, and one of the current highlights is the record-low price on the Echo Spot.

This offer is available to everyone, not just Prime members (unlike Prime Day) which makes it an ideal opportunity to enhance your smart home setup before stock runs out. Remember, this is the cheapest way to acquire an Echo device.
