ZDNET’s Maria Diaz reviewed Amazon’s Echo Pop speaker last year and praised the smart home gadget for its space-saving form factor, voice assistant capabilities, and integration with fellow smart appliances. “My two older kids share a 250-300 square feet room where we’ve set up some smart lights. Naturally, adding a smart speaker for easier control made the most sense. The room also houses children who often throw their own dance parties, so an Echo Pop was a win-win there,” Diaz quotes.

Speaking of smart lights and dance parties, this Amazon Echo Pop deal comes with a free Sengled Smart Color Bulb, which you can fit in traditional lamps and light stands and control its luminance and color via your phone or Alexa voice assistant. See how the two gadgets work together? 

Given the price of this limited-time deal, you might want to pick up more than one Echo Pop–>. This bundle offer is available in the Charcoal<!–>, Lavender Bloom–>, Midnight Teal<!–>, or Glacier White–> models, so you can find the perfect shade speaker to match your space. Plus, multiple speakers can be synchronized for stereo output, reproducing songs, music, and media from multiple directions. At just $25 for both the Echo Pop and the smart light bulb, it’s not a bad time to think about amping up your smart home system with more than just one speaker.  

And if you’ve had your eyes on an Echo Dot<!–> (which is also on sale for 30% off), you can get the 5th-generation Echo Dot with a Sengled smart bulb–> for only $35 for a limited time, a 50% savings. This bundle deal is also available in several colors, including the Charcoal<!–>, Deep Sea Blue–>, and Glacier White<!–> models.
