Amazon is known to discount its own hardware on a fairly regular basis, but there are some lesser-publicized deals the company offers that you can take advantage of all year long.

These deals involve buying Echos devices in bulk, which is less crazy than it sounds at first. 

Whether you're looking for the best way to shop for your whole family in a single click, buy something for a friend who promises to Venmo you back so you can both save some money, or want to expand your smart home, these deals might make sense for you. 

The terms of these deals change, so this post will be updated regularly, but for right now all of the discounts are taken automatically at checkout.

Echo Dot deals

The Deal: The evergreen deals for the least expensive member of the Echo family, the Echo Dot significantly cut down the price of the device. Right now you can save $10 by buying two Dots at the same time, or $50 if you buy six at once. 

Why you should care: The Echo Dot is small, but just as capable as a full size Echo when it comes to controlling smart home accessories, learning skills, and answering questions. That means you can discretely set up Dots around your house to make every room smart, or help two people start their smart home for under $100.

The Deal: The regular Echo is more expensive than the Dot, so the discounts you get when buying more than one is steeper. Buying two Echos saves you $30, and buying three saves you $50.

Why you should care: Although it's functionally identical to the Echo Dot, the full size Echo is larger and works better as a standalone Bluetooth speaker. Stick one in the kitchen and let Alexa be your ultimate oven timer and unit converter, and another in the living room to act as your smart home hub.

Echo Spot deals

Amazon

The Deal: The Echo Spot is the newest member of Amazon's Alexa-enabled family, but there's still a good deal to be had: You can save $40 by buying two at once.

Why you should care: The Spot is a cross between the Echo Show and Echo Dot, marrying some of the best features of both. It's small enough to fit anywhere, but has a screen, so you'll want to keep it in a place you can easily see.

The screen can be used to view footage from Alexa-enabled home security cameras, video news briefs, or information based on questions you've asked. The Spot also has a camera, which you can use to video conference with other Echo Spot or Echo Show owners. Buying two Spots means you and a family member can video chat for free without having to open a computer, which is pretty cool.
