Aside from Black Friday, there’s no better time to buy a smart device with Alexa than one of Amazon’s Prime Day events. Amazon is more than happy to give you tons of deals in an effort to convince you to adopt an Echo smart speaker or display and place one (or a dozen) in your home.

Yes, it’s kind of a little Trojan horse to ensure you’re hooked into Amazon’s smart home ecosystem, but many of these devices offer some useful utilities when it comes to being useful around the home, like playing music in multiple rooms, getting weather information. and news alerts, make video calls, and control connected devices like smart light bulbs using voice commands.

For this Prime Big Deal Days event, there are significant discounts on Amazon’s entire line of devices, and many of them are being offered at their lowest prices ever.

Update October 10 at 5:58 pm ET: An additional 5th-generation Echo Dot deal has been added, bundled with a Star Wars-themed stand.
