Why You Can Trust CNET This Smart Home Hub Is My Go-To Sous Chef. It's $70 Off Today on Amazon, but Not for Long
The Amazon Echo Show 8 normally costs $150, but you can grab it for only $80 this Cyber Monday.
Amazon's Echo Show 8 has a few technical upgrades that have me considering upgrading my smart home hub. My Amazon Echo Show already saves my recipes and quickly answers questions when I'm second guessing how long I need to roast potatoes.
The upgraded Amazon Echo Show 8 came in second place on CNET's best smart home displays list for its stellar display quality and quick response time. It's also a steal at $80 on Amazon -- knocking $70 off the original $150 sticker price. Since it's a part of Amazon's Cyber Monday Deals, I doubt this offer will hang around much longer.
You can use this smart home hub to control your smart devices with voice commands, but I particularly like that the eight inch screen lets you see recipes, news, video calls and reminders. Just like other Amazon Echo devices, this model lets you connect to popular streaming services such as Spotify, Netflix and Prime Video. The newest model comes with spatial audio and a upgraded camera for better sound and video quality.

Why this deal matters
The Amazon Echo Show 8 is an impressive smart home hub, but this 47% off deal likely won't stick around. If you've been considering upgrading your smart home hub or if you know someone who could use this display to help command their smart devices, you may not see a price this low again for a while.
You can use this Echo Show to effortlessly guide you through any recipe, while managing all of your smart appliances with ease.
