The 10 best Amazon Echo devices to shop during Amazon Prime Day

Among Amazon’s flagship devices, like Kindles and Fire TVs, Echos are the star of the show. These multitasking smart home devices do a little bit of everything in nearly every room in the house. Whether you need a smart speaker, alarm clock, or hub for your other smart devices, there’s an Echo to help you out. Amazon’s list of devices is ever-growing, so we’ve tested them to find the best Echo devices for your smart home.

Plus, with the announcement of Alexa+, Echo devices are now getting supercharged with extra AI features.

If you’re ready to invest in an Echo, you don’t need to buy these devices at full price. With Amazon Prime Day running from July 8 to 11, now is an exceptionally good time to buy. The deals leading up to the event have been popping off, too. Before Prime Day officially kicks off, you can find Echo devices up to $60 off, so you can start shopping now.

Changes to Echo devices in 2025

For existing Echo owners, or those looking to become ones, a major change happened in 2025 that affects user privacy. Amazon sent out an email to users saying the “Do Not Send Voice Recordings” feature on the device will no longer be available as of March 28, 2025. But what does that mean?

Previously, the “Do Not Send Voice Recordings” setting allowed the devices to process requests locally without sending them to Amazon servers. However, with that setting no longer supported, all requests will now go through Amazon servers. Plus, if you do have that setting turned on after the change goes into effect, you’ll lose access to the Voice ID feature as well.

While Amazon promises that all information requests are encrypted and secure, it still means that the retailer has access to all of that data.

All Echo devices utilize Amazon Alexa’s AI superpowers — it’s just a matter of which form you want your Echo to take. The Echo and Echo Dot are smart speakers that you can use for music, phone calls, calendar reminders, or news alerts. Amazon Echo Show devices, on the other hand, can do all of the aforementioned audio stuff, but they also boast colorful displays for making video calls, streaming entertainment, or managing your day. Think of Echo Shows as stationary, more affordable tablets, essentially.

Most Echo devices are designed to act as smart hubs within your home, but some Echo devices can also be taken on the road. Echo Auto brings hands-free Alexa functionality to the car, while Echo Buds and Echo Frames can travel with you anywhere.

What can Alexa+ do?

Alexa is to Amazon as Siri is to Apple, and is the driving force behind every Echo. But Alexa just got a big upgrade. Now there’s Alexa+, a new AI-powered version of Alexa introduced to Echo devices in March 2025. For Prime subscribers, Alexa+ will be included in membership, and non-subscribers will have to pay $19.99 per month for the service.

Alexa has an answer to almost anything you ask. Just by shouting out, you can play music, adjust the volume, and set an alarm or timer. And that’s just naming a few options. On devices like the Echo Show, you can also ask Alexa to pull up recipes or answer questions that come up while cooking. With Alexa+, the AI agent doesn’t just respond to commands but can actually engage in conversation.

Here’s a short list of what Alexa+ can do:

  • Provide a highlight reel of the day’s security footage

  • Read stories to kids

  • Plan a date night

  • Book restaurant reservations

  • Control your smart home technology from one central hub

  • Access your calendars and set reminders

  • Get answers to any question you can think of

  • Make phone calls (and video calls with an Echo Show)

  • Get the latest weather and news

  • Follow recipes

  • Shop on Amazon

  • Stream music (and video on an Amazon Echo Show)

  • Play games

There are more than 100,000 Alexa skills that you can utilize via an Echo device, and Amazon is always adding more.

Alexa gets supercharged when other smart home tech comes into the picture. If you have a smart thermostat or smart light bulbs, as long as they’re compatible with the Alexa system, you can create routines through your Echo. That can be as simple as telling Alexa to turn on the lights in one room or programming Alexa to turn the thermostat down before you come home.

If you’re ready for an Alexa-powered home, read on for the 10 best Amazon Echo devices of 2025.
