Finally! I’ve been holding onto my Amazon gift card since the holidays waiting for the second generation show to go on sale.
Looks like most of the echo devices except the Dot are on sale right now, I don’t know for how long.
You can get the second generation show with a free Phillips hue smart bulbs for $179.99
If you want to trade in a first generation show at the same time, you can get a $30 gift card plus another 25% off of the replacement that you buy. If you’re buying a second generation echo show, that’s another $45 off.
Look for the “ upgrade and save with trade-in” button above the “buy” button for the details on the trade-in deal.
I think that’s how much I paid over Black Friday. I was really skeptical if I would find any use for an Echo device with a screen, but its come to be one of my favorite smart home devices.
Yeah, I couldn’t afford it for myself, so I didn’t buy it at Black Friday, but I did get some Amazon gift cards at Christmas, so I’ve been waiting for a sale since then.
Interactions just seem a bit more “rich” with a screen. You can see the weather forecast, event on the calendar, news pictures etc. we have itni. Our kitchen, so it’s also useful for recipes. And the photo slide show is nice.
