Amazon needed a win after its Fire phone quickly became a massive flop, and it found that much-needed win in the Amazon Echo. Wireless speakers were nothing new at the time, but the Echo wasn’t your typical speaker. Instead of just playing music, the Amazon Echo was a vehicle through which Amazon’s great new personal assistant Alexa could be delivered to the home.
There are now several speakers that carry Alexa, but the Echo is still the best. And right now on Amazon, you’ve got a rare opportunity to save some money on a Certified Refurbished Amazon Echo.
