Amazon Echo Black Friday 2021 deals: what we expect to see amazon echo

Black Friday 2021 is bound to be an ideal time to pick up an Amazon Echo Device if you haven’t done so already. Amazon predictably features some pretty hefty discounts across its range of Echo smart home devices each Black Friday, and we guarantee this year will be no different.

This year, Black Friday is taking place on November 26, and we expect to see big discounts on current and previous generations of Amazon Echo Dot, Studio and Show devices among others.

Amazon’s willingness to discount its Echo smart home devices is more than justified when you factor in sales number over the Black Friday period. Just a couple of years ago, the company shifted roughly 32,600 3rd-generation Echo Dots in the UK alone on Black Friday, according to Statista. That year, it was far and away the most popular product during the Black Friday sales period.

Of course, Echo Dots aren’t the only smart home device Amazon will have up its sleeve this coming Black Friday. We certainly expect the company to be selling all manner of the best Alexa speakers at discounted prices, many of which will be cheap Amazon Echo devices.

What Amazon Echo Black Friday deals do we expect to see in 2021?

The better question here might be: what Amazon Echo Black Friday deals do we not expect to see in 2021? Amazon typically doesn’t shy away from applying discounting to a vast range of Amazon Echo devices, though it might skip the very earliest generations of each device in favor of newer models.

We certainly expect to see last year’s Amazon Echo model be heavily promoted during the Black Friday sales, alongside other superb devices like the Amazon Echo Studio, the Echo Show 10 tablet and potentially more novel products like the Echo Flex and even the Echo Wall Clock.

What should I look for when buying an Amazon Echo on Black Friday?

The first thing you should look for when buying an Amazon Echo device is its generation. Typically, the most recent iterations of Amazon Echo smart home devices will boast more features than its predecessor, and will potentially offer more quality-of-life features to make the device more accessible than the last.

To give an example of what to look out for, the flagship Amazon Echo is currently in its fourth generation, while the Amazon Echo Show 8 (the number referring to the size – in inches – of the screen) saw its second generation released in 2021. Usually, Amazon will make it clear in the product title which generation a device belongs to and the year of its release.

Since Amazon likes to apply pretty big discounts to its Echo range, even the most recent generation of devices should be relatively affordable across the board. However, if you’re on a tight budget, the generation prior will still be a good bet and likely host an even bigger discount during Black Friday 2021.
