Online shoppers, hold on to your carts! Amazon just announced a slew of revolutionary new products that’ll have you emptying your checking account. The worldwide retail giant hosted a private event yesterday where they showcased the latest in smart technology. Amazon’s Alexa is getting a major upgrade including a variety of new devices and even a microwave? Here’s all of the new gear we’ve seen so far.
10. A brand new, louder Echo Dot
The Echo Dot (3rd Gen) is getting an upgraded look and a 75% more powerful speaker so you can drown out the sound of your neighbors going at it.
Release Date: October 11th
Preorder it HERE.
9. This Echo Auto just for your car
Hands-free voice control is most valuable when you’re behind the wheel. Amazon is bringing Alexa into your vehicle with the Echo Auto. This nifty device sits on your dashboard while you ask it to play songs, call your mom, or give you directions when you inevitably get lost.
Available by requesting an invitation HERE.
8. A beat-thumping Echo Sub
The all-new Echo Sub is equipped with a 100W deep bass sound and a 6″ woofer. It can also be paired with multiple Echo devices to create an immersive stereo experience. Bass heads, get ready.
Release Date: October 11th

7. This live-recording Fire TV Recast
DVR is getting a serious face-lift. The all-new Fire TV Recast can record live TV and sync the footage to any of your other devices. Its digital antenna can be placed anywhere in your house while the DVR recordings stream to your Fire TV, Echo Show, Echo Spot or other iOS/Android gadgets. Thank the lord, I’ll never miss another Law & Order SVU.
Release Date: November 14th

6. A much sleeker Echo Show
This particular device was arguably the most in need of updating if it hoped to compete with other Smart Display gadgets on the market. The Echo Show’s all-new look features a sleek 10-inch screen and Skype integration. However, it is a little concerning to think about the possibility of accidentally video-chatting at the wrong time…

5. This new Ring security cam
According to Tech Crunch, Amazon bought Ring earlier this year at its hardware event and have now introduced a brand-new device called the Stick Up Camera. It’s the first camera from Ring that’s designed for both indoor and outdoor use and can also connect with Ring’s Neighborhood’s app for additional security. Finally, I can see what my dog does all day while I’m away.
Release Date: October 18th

4. An over-the-top Alexa Microwave
And the award for the most wildly unnecessary Alexa device goes to…the Amazon Basics microwave! Complete with Alexa controls and Dash button functionality, this microwave allows you to order more popcorn or heat up your leftovers from your seat (after you’ve put them in of course). The best part? It looks exactly like a $15 microwave from Walmart.
Release Date: November 14th

3. An updated Echo Plus
Not unlike its friend the Echo Dot, the Echo Plus is also getting a fresh new fabric look and will now enable offline commands. For example, if you lose Wi-Fi connection during the apocalypse you can still tell Alexa to turn all of your lights out. This updated device will also come with an integrated temperature sensor so that you can strategically plan your outfit before even walking outside.
Release Date: October 11th

2. This easily adaptable Echo Smart Plug
Amazon has finally leveled with other smart home companies by adding its very own smart plug. Turn things on and off with a simple command and you’ll never have to worry about leaving your straightener on again.
Release Date: October 11th

1. An Echo Link and amp
Your sound system is officially on its way to becoming fully Amazon-ed. This all-new Echo Link connects to any receiver or amplifier and creates multiple inputs that you can connect your speakers to. In addition, the Echo Link Amp features a built-in 60W 2-channel amplifier to take your sound quality to the next level.
Available by email request HERE.
Now, if we could only have Rebel Wilson take over for Alexa…
