Amazon is selling the Echo Spot smart speaker for just $50 as part of a Black Friday promotion. The sale applies to multiple colorways and represents a discount of $30. This isn’t a record low price, but it’s extremely close.

For the uninitiated, the Echo Spot is a diminutive little speaker/alarm clock hybrid unit. It’s a cute little doodad and looks great on a nightstand. The screen is customizable, so it doesn’t have to display a clock. It can show song titles, smart home control dashboards, the weather and a lot more. Of course, there are numerous clock faces to choose from.

The Spot not only integrates with Amazon’s smart assistant Alexa, but it provides access to the newfangled Alexa+. This is a smarter and more conversational version of the iconic smart assistant. Like most modern AI products, it’s still working out some bugs. The underlying tech, however, is promising.

The speaker is decent enough for the size, though you won’t be using it to fuel any house parties. It’s a great tool for bedroom-based listening. This version doesn’t have a camera, which is actually great news for the privacy conscious.

In addition to the Echo Spot, you’ll even find Black Friday deals on some of the latest Echo devices that just came out last month. The Echo Dot Max is on sale for $90, the new Echo Studio has dropped to $190 and the latest Echo Show 8 has been discounted to $160.
