The Echo Spot does, of course, keep you updated on the important things like the day, time and weather, and you can customize it to display everything with different colors and clock faces. But you can also set a personalized daily routine thanks to the Alexa integration, which will wake you up in the morning with that light and music mentioned above, while also displaying any reminders you have set. At night, it can help you wind down by turning off your lights or lowering your thermostat at any time you set.
Beyond your daily routine, the Echo Spot can also play all of your favorite playlists and audiobooks, and even make hands-free calls for you. When it comes to controlling other devices, the Echo Spot can turn on and off or even dim your lights, set motion detection, operate motorized blinds and so much more—basically, you can control *anything* in your home that can be set up with Alexa integration. Talk about convenient.
And besides making your life so much easier once you have it set up, shoppers swear that the initial setup is also a total breeze. One reviewer writes, "Let me start out by saying these things are a breeze to set up. All you do is download the app and follow the on-screen instructions. I had no issues...and they both connected to my Wi-Fi flawlessly. I love the professional looking display, and [the] voice commands work very well."
Considering all of these features, plus the rave reviews, I was shocked to see this smart clock marked down to just $45. I'm considering gifting it to my dad who has everything, and if you have anyone on your list who's tough to shop for, I'd suggest you scoop it up, too—and maybe add it to your own holiday wish list. Alexa, add to cart.
