One of the main reasons to have a smart speaker is to help you control various smart home devices. Light bulbs are among the most common products used for that purpose, so it only makes sense to bundle one of those with a smart speaker. As part of a back to school sale on Amazon devices and bundles, a combo of the Echo Pop and a Sengled smart bulb is available for just 23. That's 61 percent or 37 off the regular price, and only 3 more than it was selling for during Prime Day last month. Amazon introduced the Echo Pop last year as an entry-level Alexa-powered speaker.

The Echo Pop is like a sliced-in-half Echo Dot smart speaker. The setup for the Echo Pop is in the Alexa app, available for iOS and Android devices, and takes about five minutes to complete. The Echo Pop has a small light bar on the top of the speaker that illuminates when the speaker is activated (blue), muted (red), or there are notifications to review (yellow). The top of the speaker has press buttons to turn the volume up/down, and mute the mic. The Echo Pop is built with Amazon's AZ2 Neural Edge processor, allowing for more local processing of voice commands.
