To use, pair the smart plug with the Alexa app, then plug in your electronic appliance.

That said, we don’t recommend using this tablet to replace your phone or laptop — The Amazon Fire app store does not have all the same apps as the Apple App store and Google Play store.

Lowest price ever

This is Amazon’s cheapest Echo smart speaker, but it acts almost exactly like the more-expensive Echo Dot mentioned above. Malin uses the Pop in her bedroom, where she controls her smart lights and gets morning reports about the weather. When there were wildfires raging in Canada in June of 2023, Malin says the Echo Pop gave her an alert about bad air quality in New York, and she knew to wear a mask.
