We have gone ahead and found a personal assistant that you don’t have to stay 6 feet away from, or even pay.

The Echo Plus can’t help you cook dinner or pick up your dry cleaning, but it can help with everyday tasks like setting up reminders and alarms. It can even help you control your house using just your voice. Depending on what compatible devices you have, you could potentially turn on lights, adjust thermostats, lock doors, and much more. 

And don’t forget, at its core, it’s a speaker that you can activate completely hands-free. Just ask Alexa for a song, artist, or genre from your favorite music streaming service (such as Amazon Music, Apple Music, etc.), and it will get to work. 

To top it off, the Echo Plus is currently $50 off, dropping the price down to just $99.99. This is your chance to finally upgrade your smart setup.
