Amazon Echo Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2024 Deals

Alexa has become a staple piece of many smart home automation systems, with its ability to control hundreds of smart home devices using simple voice commands and automated routines. And as everyone knows, Amazon loves promoting Alexa, so much so that it’s at the center of most Amazon sales. That includes Amazon’s annual Black Friday sale.

This year, Black Friday falls on November 29, followed by Cyber Monday on December 2. Can we expect Alexa to be the star of the show once again?

Looking Back: Echo Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2023 Deals

Just like in previous years, it’s safe to expect to see a lot of Alexa-related deals come Black Friday and Cyber Monday. But since the sale hasn’t started, we don’t know exactly what those deals will be. Only time will tell.

That said, we can look at past Black Friday Alexa deals to at least set some of our expectations. And if the past is any indication, expect discounts that would markdown Alexa prices by more than half.

These were from last year’s Black Friday, during which Alexa speakers and smart displays received deep discounts up to 55-percent.

More Info on Echo

The key to getting the most out of your Alexa purchase is to buy the right smart speaker or display for your smart home. Alexa comes in many different shapes and sizes, and we’ve personally tested a few of them, like the Echo Show 8 and the original Echo Show (smart displays), as well as the Echo Flex and the Echo Dot with Clock.

Here’s a quick cheat sheet when choosing your Alexa devices:

Here are some more information on what we did with our Echo devices:

• Music: We enjoyed bumping tunes for Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, Pandora and more. And when we were in a reading mood while cooking, we played audiobooks from Audible, many of which are available for free.2
• TV and movies: When it came to movies and TV programs, we watched on Prime Video, of course, as well as Hulu and Vevo.
• Video chatting: Skype isn’t just for laptops and smartphones anymore; the screened Alexa smart displays are always a great way to check in on friends, family, and colleagues, especially when our hands are full with house chores.
• Web browsing: The smart displays are also like mini-computers now, and it’s just so convenient to be able to browse the web on a screen larger than our smartphone without having to turn on our laptops.
• Shopping: It was no huge surprise that we could shop for things on Amazon with the Echo devices, as they’re one of the company’s products. Still, it was pretty convenient to tell Alexa to buy us more cleaning supplies when we ran out of them.

Summary

Smart speakers and smart displays have become a mainstay in the smart home industry, and we’re glad that Alexa, one of the most popular voice assistants, hails from one of the largest retailers in the world. That way, when there are sale events like Black Friday, we get to enjoy massive discounts on those smart speakers and displays.
