Amazon Echo is on sale right now at its lowest price of 2017

[Maren Estrada]

The Amazon Echo is the speaker that started it all. In fact, speakers like the Echo have grown so popular now that even Apple seems poised to copy them. Alexa is clearly still the best in the business, but $180 is a tall order for many people. Of course, that's why Amazon went on to release its less expensive Amazon Tap and Echo Dot speakers. They're both terrific products as well, but neither one can match the range or sound quality of the original Echo.

Well guess what: now is your chance to get an Echo speaker at a big discount. While supplies last, Amazon is selling refurbished Amazon Echo speakers for just $134.99, which is the Echo's lowest price of 2017 so far. Remember Amazon's refurbs ship with a warranty, so there's nothing that should be stopping you from jumping on this great deal.
