The Echo Pop comes in a range of colours

A popular Amazon device that can help you around the home has seen its price fall by almost half. Amazon appears to have launched a mini sale on some of its devices, with the Echo Pop possibly the best deal to be had.

The compact smart speaker has seen its price cut by 44% from an RRP of £44.99 to £24.99 in a deal that Amazon says is running for a "limited time". The device has Amazon's voice assistant, Alexa built in and features a full sound that's great for areas like bedrooms and small spaces.

You can ask Alexa to play music, audiobooks, and podcasts from your favourite providers like Amazon Music, Spotify and more. There's also the option to connect your smartphone via Bluetooth to stream throughout your space.

It comes in a range of different colours too, including black, teal and lavender, so can add a bit of jazz to your chosen room. It looks like Argos has also matched the price drop, with the speaker price at £24.99 there too.

The reviews are broadly extremely positive, with an average rating of 4.7 stars out of 5 from more than 5,000 shoppers. One user said: "The Amazon Echo Pop stands out as a feature-rich smart speaker that seamlessly combines compact design with powerful audio capabilities, making it an ideal addition to any connected home.

"Despite its small footprint, the Echo Pop delivers an impressive full sound that fills the room with richness and clarity, catering to a diverse range of music genres and content preferences."

Another added: "Fab little device, looks great but small enough to hide if that’s what you choose, sounds great and seems to have more features than previous Alexa devices I’ve had before." Those who were less impressed complained about the Alexa function not being responsive.

Other Amazon Echo products have also been reduced, including pricier devices, and you can explore those here.

Alternative smart speakers are available, including the Google Nest Mini. But it's a bit more expensive at present, with Argos selling the device for £49. Apple also sells a mini smart speaker, but it's significantly more, with Currys selling it for £99.
