Our Echo Pop, known as Ziggy, has become a staple in our home.

Amazon dropped its latest lineup of smart speakers in late May, and one of them is now the lowest-priced Echo speaker out of all of the retailer's Prime Day deals. TheEcho Pop  is the company's newest and most compact mainstream speaker with Alexa built-in, and though it's fresh off the boat, it's already seeing a 55% discount from its regular$40 price, available for a limited time for$18 as part of a Prime Day 2023 deal. 

Echo Pop (save$22)

TheEcho Pop came to serve a purpose for those who don't want to commit to a full-sized smart speaker, who want a sleeker, more compact look versus the spheric look of an Echo Dot, or who want a more affordable smart speaker.

It's the perfect starter smart speaker for anyone looking to start getting to know Amazon Alexa and dive deeper into a smart home ecosystem. At just over half the size of an Echo Dot, the Echo Pop doesn't disappoint; it's no Sonos speaker but packs a mean punch in a small package.

The Echo Pop can very well fill a room with sound, and if that sounds like it may not come in handy for a speaker set for your college kid's dorm room or to listen to your audiobooks at$18, it's certainly worth it.
