The Amazon Echo Dot is the most basic option if you’re looking for your first smart home device. It’s been completely redesigned for its fourth generation, and it adds Alexa functionality to any room of your house. You can also choose from three different models: The original Echo Dot, the Echo Dot with a clock, and the Echo Dot Kids Edition.

The first two options are mainly self-explanatory but the Kids Edition actually packs some unique features. For starters, you can choose from a blue color and a rainbow finish to make the Echo Dot pop. Parents can also set limits on skills and the hours that kids can deliver commands.

The Amazon Echo is the device that started it all, and now it’s on its fourth generation. The Echo has been redesigned as a sphere with a soft-touch exterior that matches that of the Echo Dot, but it’s easily the larger of the two. One of the main differences is that the standard Echo fits a woofer and two tweeters compared to the Dot’s single speaker. That means that your Spotify and Pandora playlists can sound better than ever.

You can also use your network of Echo devices as an intercom system to broadcast messages throughout your house. The Amazon Echo comes in four different colors to match your decor.


 3. Echo Studio

The Echo Studio is even larger and more powerful than the previous options above. It packs five strategically positioned speakers that can fill the room with sound. Enhanced with Dolby Atmos, the Echo Studio even plays music in formats that are mastered for 3D. It’s the perfect option to bring a party to life and you can even connect it to your Fire TV Stick for a surround sound experience.


 4. Echo Show

All of the options so far on the list have been cylindrical smart speakers with a primary emphasis on quality sound. That all changes with the added screen on the Echo Show. You may not want to watch a full-length movie on the Echo Show 5 or Echo Show 8, but both options are great for quick YouTube videos and news clips. You can even follow along with a recipe right in your kitchen.

The second-generation Echo Show makes it a little bit easier to watch longer videos with the larger ten-inch screen, and it definitely makes controlling your home a breeze. You can video chat with family, adjust your lights, and much more. Check out deals on the Echo Show 5, 8, and 10 below.

Smart speakers and displays aren’t the only options when it comes to the Amazon Echo family. Amazon also offers Alexa integrations in a variety of other devices, such as the Echo Wall Clock. The clock is actually a companion device, so you’ll have to have a standard speaker as well, but it allows you to display timers easily with just a glance at the clock.
