This is Halloween! Take 30% off for the Pumpkin King!
Halloween is right around the corner, and Amazon has one of the coolest deals for fans of this spooky holiday. It has to be, by far, my favorite accessory for Echo speakers, featuring our favorite King of the Pumpkin Patch, Jack Skellington. Those who bundle the Jack Skellington Shell with an Amazon Echo Dot can save 30%, bringing the price down to $63 for both products.
Buy the Amazon Echo Dot and Jack Skellington Shell for just $63
This deal is available from Amazon, and it is a “limited time deal.” Additionally, the Jack Skellington Shell is a limited edition product, so we’re not sure how long it will be available. It’s also worth noting that we’re linking to the Glacier White model because it’s the one that matches Jack Skellington’s colors best. You can also pick the Charcoal or Deep Sea Blue color versions.
With this bundle, you’ll get the 5th-generation Amazon Echo Dot, a pretty nice little smart speaker. In our Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen) review, we mentioned we’re fans of the smaller size, which helps it fit in any corner of the house. It measures only 3.9 x 3.9 x 3.5 inches. And while the 1.73-inch speaker’s sound distorts a bit at high volumes, it actually sounds pretty good at regular volumes, considering the price.
You likely aren’t getting this speaker for sound quality, though. We have a whole list of the best Bluetooth speakers if you want optimal sound quality. What makes the Echo Dot special is its connectivity and voice assistant features. You’ll get quick and easy access to Amazon Alexa, so you can play music at your Halloween party, ask for information such as the weather, or even control your smart lights to set a scarier mood.
Additionally, you’ll get most of the features Amazon Echo speakers have to offer, such as motion detection, a temperature sensor, and even the ability to use it as a mesh Wi-Fi extender for your eero router.
The Jack Skellington shell adds no actual extra features, other than looking super awesome. It has a grill to let sound travel easily, and an opening so you can access the buttons. There is also a really cool design touch. The mouth makes the Echo Dot’s ring light visible, so the Pumpkin King’s smile will shine through the darkness.
Also, this combo comes with the 5th-generation Echo Dot, but the shell also fits the 4th-generation model. If you have the older Alexa speaker, you can simply buy the Jack Skellington Shell separately for $40.
Sign up for this deal while you can! Remember, it’s a limited time deal, and the shell is actually a limited edition product. There is urgency here from multiple angles. Who knows how long this Jack Skellington shell or the deal will stick around.
