Deal: In honor of its 2nd birthday, the Amazon Echo can be yours for just $140

The Echo has officially been around for two years at this point in time, and in honor of its second birthday, Amazon is slashing the price of the device from $179.99 to just $140.39. That comes out to a total savings of $39.60, and although it's still about $20 more expensive than Google Home, the Echo has proved to be one heck of a gadget. The device is constantly getting more and more feature with each day that passes, and some of the most notable inclusions that already exist are Google Calendar, Spotify, WeMo, Phillips Hue, SmartThings, iHeartRadio, and many more. 

I got the Echo myself when it was first made available to Prime customers, and I've learned to love the gadget more and more every single day. While Google Home certainly is an enticing option, Amazon's Echo is still more than worth checking out 2 years after its original launch.
