Alexa, I want a smart speaker for under AU$50

A smart speaker for under AU$50? Yes, it's absolutely possible. In fact, this particular speaker has been just AU$29 in 2024, but I haven't spied that low price this year yet.

I'm talking about the Amazon Echo Pop, which is available in a few fun colours and would even make a lovely Christmas gift for some one if you're struggling for ideas when shopping for friends or family.

It's already Amazon's most affordable smart speaker and its most compact one too, with Alexa available at your beck and call. You'll be able to play music, ask questions, set alarms, create shopping lists, check the weather and so much more with just a simple voice command (look, Mum, no hands!).

It's the morning of October 4 and there's just a few days to go before Amazon kicks off its October Prime Day sale. That said, the online retail giant has already opened up a plethora of good deals that I just had to share with you.

While most of these deals aren't as good prices as we've seen before, I've cherry picked only those that I think are still worth considering. There are currently 79 of them, but I will keep hunting through the weekend and bring you live updates and fresh deals to shop before the rush next week.

Of course, I'll continue the deal hunting right through the week-long sale (can we call it Prime Week now?) and, with the help of my team, share the best highlights where tech or tech-adjacent products are concerned. Think Apple, Samsung, Sony, Bose, Logitech, Dyson and so many more big brands.

Keep in mind that this Prime Big Deal Days sale in Australia is prelude to the Amazon Black Friday 2025 sale, so don't expect jaw-dropping low prices right now – although savings will be significant next week – but it gives you a good opportunity to begin your Christmas shopping early.

Happy shopping!
