Amazon is selling the 3rd-gen Echo Dot with 2 GE Smart Bulbs for $17.99 or the Echo Dot with an Amazon Smart Plug for $17.99. Both of these deals match the lowest price that the older Echo Dot has ever been, but the last time it was this price there was only one smart bulb included, so this deal is technically slightly better. The two included GE CYNC Smart LED Light Bulbs normally sell for $28 and connect through either Bluetooth or WiFi, so they do not need a hub. If you opt for the smart plug, you’ll get Amazon’s own Smart Plug which normally sells for $25 but is currently on sale for $13.
By the way, what happened to the Echo Flex? Is it still available in the US or any other country? Can’t find it on the European Amazon stores…
No longer available in the US and I’m pretty sure gone from everywhere else as well. It was technically discontinued somewhere around the start of 2021, but it pops up as available to purchase every few months. Probably just from old stock they uncover.
