Amazon Echo Pop (Newest Model) Hits Almost Free a Week Before Prime Day, Stock Is Running Low
A smart assistant is a big win for a lot of people. Being able to just shout out commands when they pop into your head, like setting alarms, asking about the weather, or finding out where you can get an emergency coffee, are all essential things these days. There are a few ways to add more of this usefulness into your life, but one of the best ways is with a good smart speaker. See at Amazon Right now you can get a lot of savings as Prime Day approaches, which means it really pays to be an Amazon Prime member at the moment. One excellent deal is that you can save yourself 45% on the Amazon Echo Pop, making it just $22 if you're an Amazon Prime member. It's normally $40, so that's not a bad discount at all. This little smart speaker is the smallest one you can get from Amazon, which makes it way easier to fit into any home. Despite it's small size, it still offers an impressive degree of sound quality and plenty of usability as well, which is what it's all about when it comes to smart speakers. It grants easy access to Alexa too, which is one of the better smart assistants, especially for those who love other Amazon smart home products. All you need to do is plug this in, and you'll easily be able to control absolutely everything about it using only your voice. That means with just one sentence, you can summon up whatever music you feel like, or ask for a recipe you need while your hands are covered in cake batter, or even get some help with some homework. You can even get things like Amazon Music, Amazon Kids+, and Hey Disney! through it as well. It just means you can keep basically everyone happy with it, and not only that, but it's built with sustainability in mind, which means it's not too bad for the environment either. That's just a nice win for everyone involved. The usual price for $40 here isn't bad at all, but there's no denying the appeal of the device at $22. It's basically the same as a couple of days of coffee for a lot of people, and you get an incredible amount of functionality for that. Just make sure you don't wait around for too long, or you'll end up missing out on this limited-time deal. See at Amazon

I can play this in my bathroom at one end of my 2000 square-foot UPstairs and still hear it at the other end of the upstairs portion of the house. Seriously!' —AnnieGet it from Amazon for $37+ (available in 10 colors). A wireless speaker with 12 watts of audio power This little speaker has nearly 100,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, so you know it's good.

After some research we ended up with small Tribit because it's very affordable price but because other people had commented positively on its capabilities. We definitely like and enjoy our new Tribit in our outdoor garden-battery life is good as we have played it non-stop outdoors for a 5 hour stretch. The sound quality is very good even with some bass notes. We plan to take the Tribit on our vacations and to our second home in Latin America. This is a good, affordable buy over some of the really expensive offerings." —Amazon Customer-breton9Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three colors).

Obviously, you can't compare a speaker like this to a full on party speaker or anything like that but it sounds pretty good. There is no tin like or static sound whatsoever, and the device doesn't rattle when the bass hits even when at loud volumes. I listen to a lot of different genres of music and everything sounds good. you could definitely compare the quality of sound from this brand to a few more well-known, but more expensive brands that are out there.' —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $39.95. A Doss Bluetooth speaker The Doss 12-watt full-bodied stereo is water-resistant and includes easy-to-use touch controls. It's also waterproof, and the rechargeable battery powers up to 20 hours of playtime. Promising review: 'I buy a lot but don't write a lot of reviews. But I am so happy with this speaker! I tend to research so much that I get lost in the conflicting opinions and reviews and end up just buying the most expensive in hopes that it's true that you get what you pay is not the truth too many times. I have been through three different Bose portable Bluetooth speakers over the past year and between the charging port messing up and having trouble with Bluetooth connectivity and range I finally decided to just try a less expensive one and see what it would do since it seemed I would be buying one periodically anyway. All of that is to say that I read a couple of reviews saying this DOSS speaker was better than an expensive Bose and took a chance. I am so happy with it! Easily connects, stays connected, sounds great (I'm only using it for listening to music in the house and outside when I'm working), the range is awesome and it doesn't sound distorted when I turn it up. Very pleased. Wish I had tried this a long time ago.' —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in 11 colors).

Smart tech on a budget: 5 must-have smart home devices under ₹5,000
Smart home technology is gaining traction across Indian households. What was once a premium category is now accessible to the average consumer, with reliable devices available at competitive price points. From voice assistants to home surveillance and wireless charging solutions, smart gadgets are now helping users automate, secure, and streamline everyday routines. This curated list features five smart home devices, all priced under ₹5,000, offering a practical upgrade without stretching your budget. Priced at ₹4,499, the Amazon Echo Pop brings hands-free convenience by adding voice control to any part of the home. It is powered by Alexa and responds to voice commands for music playback, news updates, alarms, smart appliance control, and more. For users juggling multiple tasks, like cooking or working from home, it enables multitasking without reaching for a screen. For instance, users can ask Alexa to set kitchen timers, play recipe instructions, switch off lights, or schedule reminders. Security cameras typically cost upwards of ₹5,000, putting them out of reach for many budget-conscious buyers. However, the TP-Link Tapo C200 is priced around ₹1,499, offering a cost-effective alternative without compromising essential features. This indoor smart camera provides 360-degree coverage, night vision, motion detection, and 2-way audio, allowing users to monitor their homes remotely via a smartphone app. Video doorbells are becoming increasingly popular as homeowners seek better security and remote access to their entrances. The Zebronics VDB200 streams live video directly to smartphones, letting users monitor visitors in real time at an affordable price of ₹2,499. This wireless video doorbell features motion detection alerts and night vision to improve safety day and night. The device supports both cloud and SD card storage, offering flexible options for recording without costly subscriptions. 3-in-1 magnetic foldable MagSafe wireless charger is a compact charging solution for Apple users. With multiple devices to charge daily and users always being on the go, people are increasingly turning to multi-functional charging solutions. Priced at ₹2,990, this compatible wireless charger powers an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods simultaneously. As remote work and online streaming become routine, poor Wi-Fi coverage remains a common issue in many households. The TP-Link AC1200 range extender is designed to eliminate dead zones by boosting the existing router's signal. With dual-band support, it can improve speeds in rooms where the signal drops frequently. At ₹2,299, it's a budget-friendly fix that doesn't require upgrading your entire internet setup.

Beats Studio Pro X Kim Kardashian: was $349 now $169 at Amazon The Beats Studio Pro x Kim Kardashian Special Edition in color Dune look like they could've been pulled off the color palette from the same-named blockbuster movie franchise. The shade's warmth reminds me of the evening desert. Beyond the fancy color option, there's no real difference between these and the standard Beats Studio Pro. They are discounted less often, however, so if you're interested in this color, then now is the time to grab a pair. In our Beats Studio Pro review, we found one of the best parts of these headphones was their battery life.

But the excitement doesn't just end with a new house. This year's HGTV Smart Home Sweepstakes winner will also be walking away with a 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC Plug-In Hybrid SUV and $100,000 in cash.

To see how everything came together, check out this tour of the home given by this year's HGTV Smart Home designer Poonam Moore. You have until May 23 to enter the Sweepstakes — good luck! Samsung 43-Inch The Frame We've reviewed both the 2021 version of this TV and the 2024 version (which is featured in the home), so we can't say we're surprised that it's earned a spot in this year's smart home. With its beautiful design and large gallery of artwork that can be displayed when it's not in use, Samsung's The Frame TV has continued to impress us with how effortlessly it transforms blank walls and spaces. Read our review Simplehuman Rechargeable Sensor Soap Pump CNN Underscored's home and gifts editor Amina Lake Patel has this rechargeable dispenser from Simplehuman, which she uses for both hand soap and hand sanitizer. We love that the design eliminates the need to touch anything, which is especially useful when you're handling things like raw meat. Zstarr Motorized Smart Blind for Window With Remote Control With these motorized smart blinds, having to manually close your window blinds is a thing of the past. Ozarke Rusee Smart Table With Speaker Far from your standard end table, the Rusee smart table from Ozarke doubles as a Bluetooth speaker and even has a built-in wireless charger, so you can juice up your devices in style. We love the table's simple, modern design, which is perfect for the minimalist at heart. Amazon Echo Pop Also making an appearance in this year's smart home? The Amazon Echo Pop, which we love for its budget-friendly price and color selection. We also couldn't help but notice that the Echo Pop isn't the only Amazon device in the home. The clockless version of our favorite budget-speaker, the 5th Generation Echo Dot, is also our review Amazon Fire HD 8 With the Amazon Fire HD 8, you can browse the internet or dive into a new book with the touch of a finger. We reviewed an older version of the tablet in 2020 and found it to be well worth the price. BroadLink IR/RF Smart Home Hub This smart home hub can be used to control shades, light switches and more within your home. The best part? It's compatible with Google Assistant and Alexa, so you can set up voice prompts. Huupe Smart Mini Basketball Hoop Game Console It's easy to see why this basketball hoop game console caught the eye of CNN Underscored senior lifestyle editor Tamara Kraus. Complete with shot and distance tracking, so you can keep a tab on your stats, the Huupe Mini gives you access to tons of subscription-free games, all while letting you stream your favorite music and shows. Chiltern Velvet Tufted Sofa Everyone's dream sofa looks different, but regardless of where you imagine kicking your feet up, there's no denying the comfiness factor of this velvet, tufted sofa from Chiltern. Four Hands Cairo Chair We couldn't take our eyes off of this upholstered chair from Four Hands, which features wraparound arms and a loose seat cushion. We love that the chair comes in four neutral colors to complement any style. Article Harmon Checkerboard Side Table We love a good piece of multi-functional furniture, like Article's Harmon Checkerboard Side Table. The wooden tabletop flips over to reveal a checkerboard and a hidden storage space underneath where you can stash game pieces or other knickknacks. Avant 76-Inch Metal Articulating Floor Lamp With Fabric Shade Floor lamps help pull a room together, and we couldn't be more obsessed with this decor pick. It works perfectly in a modern home, like this one, thanks to its unique silhouette and burnished finishing. OneFortyThree Tablet Stand Having a tablet stand nearby comes in handy when you need to prop up your iPad or Kindle. We love how design-forward this made-to-order tablet stand is, with its curved shape and rounded brass feet. Fire Cold Plunge 3.0 Interested in reaping the benefits of cold plunging? This year's smart home features the Fire Cold Plunge 3.0, which has medical-grade lining, ambient lighting in the form of LED lights and slip-proof flooring, so you can go in and out of the tub with confidence. AllModern Padua Nightstand As AllModern's Padua Nightstand proves, your bedside table does not have to be boring. The drawer space gives you plenty of room to stash your book, blue-light glasses, nighttime snacks, sleep mask and more, while its top gives you a spot to place your water bottle. Article Basi Bed Frame When it comes to bed frames, simple ones can make just as much of a statement in the bedroom. I love the look of this minimalist frame which, depending on the vibes you're going for, can be pushed up against the wall or paired with a nice headboard. Pottery Barn Bouclé Pillow Cover Patel said the interior designers she's interviewed have always recommended switching up your pillow covers if you're looking for a quick way to freshen up your space for less. She likes this one from Pottery Barn, which is used in the living room and has a boucle side and a solid flax side. Lavauk Mango Wood Fruit Bowl Another one of Patel's picks is this handmade, wooden fruit bowl, which appears in the kitchen of the smart home and can also double as decor. Archtwain Wall Games Playable Football Decor We can't imagine a cooler piece of wall art for a gaming room than this handcrafted piece. When mounted, it's an incredible statement piece soccer fans are sure to love. When you pull it down from the wall, it transforms into a fun tabletop-style game for loads of family fun. Ruggable Outdoor Offset Stripe Black Rug Ruggable's stylish selection of interchangeable and machine-washable rugs is part of what makes the brand so popular. Case in point: Kraus has several Ruggable rugs throughout her apartment. The deck area outside features this striped one, which helps to cozy up the space. Ozarke Floating Shoe Shelf If you thought the soccer wall art was cool, you'll love this unique floating shoe shelf from Ozarke, which Patel thinks is a great piece of decor for shoe lovers. Plus, with Father's Day coming up, she thinks it would make a unique gift for Dad as well. Aerlo Ceramic Candle Holder Set Patel loves the look of this candle holder set from Amazon, which she described as 'a unique, easy piece of decor that will make your place look fancy.' This set appears in the kitchen, but we can see it working in other parts of the home, like a bedroom or the living room, as well. Dupray Air Purifier If you're concerned about the level of dust and other pollutants in your home, an air purifier is a great buy. This one from Amazon doubles as a planter or an accent table (depending on the version you get), which is what makes it particularly cool in our eyes. It offers real-time air quality monitoring and has fans that can automatically adjust their speed level. Hiendure 12-Inch Brass Clothes Hanger Patel loves the functionality of these types of clothes racks, since they give you a place to hang your items when you need it but can fold away when not in use. Though this hanger is used in the laundry room, depending on your needs it can be used in other spaces, too, including outdoors. Where is the HGTV Smart Home 2025 located?
