That's an incredibly good price for a smart speaker that is designed to sit in your kitchen, office or bedroom and give you access to Alexa+, Amazon's AI that you can have natural-sounding conversations with. Time to forget all those weird ways you had to talk to Alexa in the past. It helps you manage your calendar and schedule, and it remembers things about you — like what you like and don't like to eat.

And if you've got a connected series of Smart Home devices then Alexa+ can fit right in and start managing them for you, so you can say things like "turn off the light in the kids bedroom".

Obviously it's great at organising your shopping, but it's also great for managing your music. You can say things like "Play songs like the ones we played last weekend" or "skip all the sad songs".

I've been waiting to get a smart speaker for my kitchen and the Amazon Echo Spot ticks all the boxes.
