It's also on sale right now, back down at a price that's near its Prime Day going rate.

As of Nov. 4, get the Amazon Echo Spot for just $49.99. That's $30 off its normal price of $79.99 and a discount of 38%. This sale price applies to all three colors: Black, Glacier White, and Ocean Blue.

The Echo Spot is a small but mighty speaker that not only wakes you up in the morning, but does so with panache. You can see the time, weather, and song titles at a glance when you use it during the day as well. And of course you can customize the clock face and use a variety of different colors to make it feel more like yours. It's also compatible with Alexa apps and routines to help you wake up and ease into the day gradually or help you fall asleep at night.

This companion is a great idea to add to your nightstand as well if you like to listen to music, podcasts, or audiobooks on the regular. Drift off to slumber with soothing songs or wake up to your favorite tunes. And then ask Alexa throughout the day to handle some of your tasks. It's a versatile, fun little Echo device that's well worth it with the $30 off, especially if you need a little push waking up in the mornings. Grab yours while it's hot.
