Amazon has discontinued one of its Echo smart speakers.

Existing speakers should continue to function and receive updates for the forseeable future.

The move begs the question: Should you get a regular Dot or wait for a new model instead?

Your best bet is refurbished or used models on Amazon and eBay.

Amazon isn’t the only company that seems unsure about its smart speaker lineup.

Apple’s full-size HomePod, which debuted in 2018, was abruptly discontinued in March 2021.
