Having an Amazon Echo device in your home is kind of like having your very own virtual assistant.

Today, the Amazon Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) is listed for 56% off at Amazon. This takes its list price down from $89.99 to $39.99. While the smart home device is known to go on sale, the last time we saw its price this low was over Prime Day. If you've been thinking about expanding your smart home collection, we recommend acting on this today before it's gone.

As Amazon shoppers know, there are plenty of different Echo devices to choose from: it can be hard to know which one is best suited for meeting your home's needs. Earlier this year, our very own SaVanna Shoemaker compared the Echo Show 5 and Echo Show 8 for Mashable readers, emphasizing that the greatest difference between the two models is their size: The Echo Show 5 has a 5.5-inch screen and 6-inch by 3-inch footprint, while the Echo Show 8 is much larger. She writes, "The Echo Show 5 would be better in places where you want the device's functionality, without it being front and center — like your desk or nightstand."

The Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen) has also gotten some fresh upgrades since its 2nd Gen predecessor. The 3rd Gen model has two times the bass and greater voice clarity for a better music listening experience, plus an improved screen that makes nighttime viewing more comfortable on your eyes. It also has been given an extra mic, making Alexa even more responsive.
