Forget Apple’s Siri Speaker, the Google Home is under $100 right now on Amazon

Forget Apple’s Siri Speaker, the Google Home is under $100 right now on Amazon

Amazon’s various Alexa-powered speakers like the $50 Echo Dot are definitely the best in the business when it comes to smart speakers. That said, not everyone is interested in the Alexa ecosystem. If you’re in the Google camp then you know that Google Assistant is flat-out amazing. You also know that having it on your phone isn’t always as convenient as having it on a hands-free smart speaker. That’s where the Google Home comes in, and it just so happens to be on sale on Amazon right now for less than you’ll find it anywhere else.

Here’s a quick blurb from Google on its popular Google Home speaker:

Google Home is powered by the Google Assistant. Ask it questions. Tell it to do things. And with support for multiple users, it can distinguish your voice from others in your home so you get a more personalized experience. It’s your own Google, just for you.

Note that supply is undoubtedly very limited at the sub-$100 price point, so you should grab one right away if you're interested. The good news is that there are other sellers on Amazon that are selling speakers well below the $129 MSRP, so you can still enjoy a discount even after the $99 speakers sell out.
