The Amazon Echo Pop is only $23 for Labor Day

Target has cut the price of the Amazon Echo Pop this Labor Day making now the ideal time to buy the neat smart speaker.

With Labor Day sales fully underway, we’re excited to see that Target has dropped the price of the consistently popular Amazon Echo Pop to $23. Normally costing $40, the smart speaker is enjoying a $17 discount — but only until tomorrow, once Labor Day has finished. It’s been slightly cheaper in the past, but not for a while so, this is nearly as good as it gets. If you’re keen to avoid missing out on one of the better Amazon Echo deals around at the moment, you’ll need to jump on this deal quickly. Here’s what it has to offer.

The Amazon Echo Pop is a cute and smaller Alexa which we described as being “perfectly priced”. It’s an even better price when it’s on sale. The least expensive entry into the Alexa ecosystem, the only thing you’ll really miss here is that there’s no aux input, but otherwise it’s a good way to add an Alexa to your home.

Shaped in a way that means it easily fits into your bedroom or small spaces around the home, the Amazon Echo Pop hits that sweet spot of easily blending in while also standing out due to more stylish looks than other Echos. Its greatest strength is its tens of thousands of skills through Alexa. You can ask it for the latest news, sports scores, or even to play a game. It also works well as a music device as it’ll play music from Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, and many others via Bluetooth or through Alexa voice controls.

Like the best smart speakers, the Amazon Echo Pop makes your whole home smarter as it also controls all your smart home devices like your lights or plugs. Perfect for ease of use as well as better efficiency around the home.

However you use the Amazon Echo Pop, its front firing speaker delivers full sound, so it sounds surprisingly good for the size and the price. It’s a great way to start your Alexa journey or to enhance your home for a steal of a price.

The Amazon Echo Pop ordinarily costs $40 but right now, you can buy it from Target for $23 so you save $17 on the regular price. Check it out now by tapping the button below as the deal ends very soon — tomorrow in fact — so you don’t want to miss out.

Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.

Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.

With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.

Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
