BEST SMART SPEAKER
AMAZON ECHO DOT WITH CLOCK
$59.99 EDITORS’ CHOICE Llllh
The third-generation Amazon Echo Dot is already one of our favorite smart speakers, with
surprisingly good sound for its size and all the voice assistant benefits of Alexa for just $50.
The Echo Dot with Clock is the exact same speaker, with an incredibly useful LED clock on the
front, for just $10 more. It’s worth the price bump.21
BEST SMART DISPLAY
AMAZON ECHO SHOW 5
$89.99 EDITORS’ CHOICE Llllm
The Echo Show 5 is the smallest, most affordable smart display in Amazon’s lineup. Its 5-inch
screen provides plenty of information while keeping the device tiny enough to fit comfortably
on a nightstand or the corner of a desk, and it even features a web browser. Just don’t expect
powerful sound to come from such a petite package.22
BEST HOME SECURITY SYSTEM
ABODE IOTA ALL-IN-ONE SECURITY KIT
$229 EDITORS’ CHOICE Llllm
If you want to get started with a solid home security system that leaves plenty of room to
