Split between buying a smart calendar, a kitchen TV, a smart home hub, and a smart display? Amazon’s Echo Show 21 is all of those things in one, with a huge 21-inch screen. You can use it to control your smart lights, glance at recipes, watch TV shows, and more. Currently, Best Buy and Home Depot have the product on sale for $319.99 (usually $399.99), matching the lowest price we’ve seen to date.

The Echo Show 21 can act as the centerpiece of any burgeoning smart home. The 1080p smart display is a Matter and Thread controller, meaning you can locally control compatible devices using voice commands or a range of widgets. Its built-in auto-framing camera also facilitates video calls. Plus, it has decent speakers for music and other features shared among Alexa displays.

Where to Buy:

  • $399.99 $319.99 at Best Buy
  • $399.99 $319.99 at Home Depot

The Echo Show 21’s smart home controls are unique to it and the smaller Echo Show 15 that’s just $20 cheaper. They boast support for Zigbee, Matter, and Thread, providing seamless control for numerous devices. The included voice remote can’t interact with widgets or Alexa skills, but you can use it to control your streaming services or other media. There’s a built-in 13-megapixel camera, too, in case you want to video chat with a pal, with auto-framing to keep you centered even if you’re rushing around the house.

The panel is designed to mount on the wall, but if you’d rather set it on a counter or bookshelf, Best Buy is selling the adjustable stand for $99.99 (usually $124.99). The stand tilts up to 30 degrees, and swivels a full 360 degrees in case you want it in the center of your room, or on a kitchen island.
