Get an Echo Dot Kids Edition and Echo Glow for $40 off
Amazon
As Cheapskate Rick and I just mentioned in the Cheapskate Show podcast this week, you should never buy an Amazon Echo speaker at full price. They are offered for sale so often that you are never more than a few weeks away from a discount. A typical example: You can get one this week Amazon Echo Dot Kids Edition and an Echo Glow Smart lamp for $ 60. They’re sold regularly for $ 100, so you save 40% and it’s only $ 10 more than the lowest price this combination has ever achieved.
The Echo Dot Kids Edition is more or less a normal puck-sized Echo Dot Third Edition, but was especially developed for young people. It includes one year of FreeTime Unlimited, for example a subscription service that offers Alexa functions only for children and parental controls for mom and dad.
You also get the adorable Echo Glow, an intelligent light that you can use for daylight or as a night light for children’s rooms – and the Glow can interact with normal Alexa tasks, such as: B. Changing the lighting during a timer countdown.
However, the Echo Dot Kids Edition would not be a smart speaker if there were no privacy concerns, and Amazon has already been researched by children’s interest groups on how the first-generation speaker treats user privacy. Read more about this in CNET’s look at the Echo Dot Kids Edition.
