Amazon’s tremendous online marketplace and its inconceivable nationwide distribution network are obviously both impressive. Especially now that Amazon has overtaken UPS and FedEx as the biggest delivery business in the US. But it’s possible that neither one is Amazon’s crowning achievement at this point. Instead, it might actually be Alexa, which has become absolutely essential to countless millions of people out there.
And this week, there’s an Echo Auto deal that Alexa fans need to see. A 36% discount drops the price of the newest Echo Auto (2nd Gen) to $34.99 from $55. That’s a great price for what is undoubtedly one of my favorite Amazon devices of all time. The only thing to bear in mind is that this is a leftover Black Friday deal that likely won’t be around for much longer.
Everyone loves having Alexa in their homes. That’s because there are endless “skills” that Amazon’s virtual personal assistant can take care of for you. The problem for so many people, however, is what happens when they leave the house.
Well, what happens is people lose access to all their Echo speakers. That’s because Amazon doesn’t make portable Echo speakers anymore. That ends today, however, thanks to an Amazon Echo Auto offer you’d have to be crazy to pass up.
Amazon’s deal slashes the Echo Auto down to the lowest price since all the way back in May of this year.
I can’t live without Alexa
It should go without saying that Amazon is well aware of Alexa’s old limitations. That’s exactly why the company created products like Echo Buds that give you access to Alexa on the go. Then there’s the Echo Auto, which gives you hands-free access to Alexa in your car while you drive.
And right now, Echo Auto is on sale with a terrific discount that drops it to the best price I’ve seen in months.
Alexa is no longer merely a luxury for so many people out there. Instead, Amazon’s virtual personal assistant is a necessity these days. I can’t even remember what life was like before I had Alexa doing my bidding. Alexa turns the lights on and off for me.
It shows me who’s at my front door thanks to a Ring Video Doorbell and an Echo Show. Plus, it makes my coffee in the morning and arms my alarm system at night.
I’m so used to having the ability to speak commands to Alexa that I have definitely caught myself doing it once or twice when I wasn’t even near an Echo speaker. Oops!
Echo Auto takes Alexa with you on the go
I really only have one problem with all this reliance on Alexa. It’s the fact that Alexa isn’t readily available once I leave my house. Or at least, that used to be the case.
Thanks to one of Amazon’s best Alexa smart devices, I don’t have to worry anymore. It’s called the Echo Auto, and it’s basically an Echo Dot for your car. It gives you hands-free access to all the Alexa skills you love. Plus, it plays Alexa’s voice or streaming music through my car’s speakers.
You can stream music or podcasts, get voice-guided navigation, and so much more. One time, I used Alexa on the Echo Auto to close my garage door at home when I realized I had forgotten. Without the Echo Auto and MyQ smart garage door opener, I would’ve had to turn around and drive all the way home.
This is a must-have for anyone who uses Alexa. And right now, the 2nd-generation Echo Auto is on sale for $34.99 instead of $55.
Thanks to this great Echo Auto deal on Amazon, you’ll never ride without Alexa again.
