Introducing the latest addition to the smart speaker and alarm clock world – the new Spot! Say goodbye to the creepy camera in your bedroom because this sleek device now takes its design cues from the Echo Pop, promising better sound quality. With built-in Alexa support, you can easily set your alarm, check the weather, and get news updates without lifting a finger. And for those concerned about privacy, rest easy knowing there’s a convenient button to disable the microphone.
But before you rush to hit “buy,” remember that this smart alarm clock needs power to function, so don’t be caught off guard during a blackout.
And now, for a little behind-the-scenes peek: while we typically only review products we’ve personally tried, our smart home expert Jennifer Pattison Tuohy is putting the new Spot to the test for an upcoming review. Early impressions are looking positive, with Jennifer suggesting a $45 deal could be worth it – though the $80 price tag might give some pause. Stay tuned for her final verdict. If you’re a Prime member feeling adventurous, this deal might be up your alley.
