This is a good deal isn't it? Why not more traction?

Looks like a good deal to me. I just picked one up a month ago at $80, with a 25% off promo and $5 GC for trading in an Echo Dot, for a total of $55. If you have a spare Echo Dot, try the "Upgrade and save with Trade-In" option to see what they're offering right now.

I'm only using the Zigbee integration with one motion sensor to control a light right now. It was fairly easy to set up and is working quite well. I think at the time it was the same price as a SmartThings hub, but has a nice quality speaker. But the SmartThings hubs are out of stock right now, so this is quite a good option.

Decent deal but make sure ya check your local Craigslist first. I've snagged 2nd gen Echos for $35.00 that were brand new.

Just want to point out that if you've bought one of those "$1 Echo dot, with 1 month Amazon music sub" deals, you can trade in the echo dot for $5 and get a 25% discount on top.

The one I got previously is literally in the box. Not a bad deal.

Edit: In my case, it netted me a $23.75 discount on the echo.

Just did the same. Wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't of pointed it out.

Think this is a smoking hot deal especially with the bulb. Cancelling my best buy order of the studio yesterday.

i went ahead and got a studio from BB too, selling the echo show 5 will bring it down to like $120ish and you can keep/sell that bulb. Cant return it to BB, they dont let you break up promo stuff like that.

The Studio is a better speaker... Multiple speakers actually. It also has Atmos and dynamically adjusts sound based on your room setup. I only wish it came in sandstone.

The Plus is equivalent to a 3rd Echo, without zigbee.

The plus is equivalent to a 3rd gen regular Echo without Zigbee, NOT a Dot.

Does the 25% apply on the already discounted echo? The echo plus is $74.99 now and my trade in will take a week to process, I hope I can get the 25% off on $74.99 then

It does. I did it last night.

They'll give you an immediate giftcard ($5) and send you an email with details to package it up and drop off at UPS. (Makes you wonder what would happen if it turns out you dot is busted, huh?)

The discount is on top of the $75 price and it kicks in instantaneously.

You should see the trade in button in the Echo Plus's product page.
