We could all use a personal assistant to help manage ourschedules,回答我们的问题和完成所有任务with a simple ask. And theAmazon Echo Show 5is just that. Well, in device form. Thesmart techessential has already streamlined thousands of shoppers' lives with its long list of talents, so don't miss the chance to snag it at a major markdown this Labor Day weekend. Typically $90, the must-have is now on sale for $65—but not for long.

From keeping you up-to-date on the news to settingalarmsand controlling other smart appliances at the sound of your voice (yup, this baby is equipped with our girlAlexa), the compact device does it all to keep even the most hectic households in order. Better yet, the latest version features a crisp 5.5-inch digital display, upgraded sound system and a built-in camera, so you can use it to stream your favorite shows and music, keep an eye on your pets and kids from afar or even video call friends who have compatible Alexa devices. No wonder it has more than six million views and counting onTikTok.

Wondering what shoppers have to say? One reviewer is obsessed with the camera feature in particular. "All I have to do is say, 'Alexa, show me whatever camera I need to see.' I have four Ring cameras, so it's very helpful [to let] my kids see who's at the door," they wrote. Another calls out the impressive sound, writing, "It is a big improvement...for music sound quality and noise level. I can clearly hear the echo device clear across my house while I’m cleaning."

Meanwhile, buyersshould love its convenient size (it's5.8 inches wide and 3.2 inches tall) that tucks perfectly onto kitchen counters, nightstands and side tables, along with the built-in privacy settings that shut off the mic and camera when you please. And if you're all about sustainability, you'll be glad to know the device is made from 100 percent recycled aluminum and 100 percent post-consumer recycled polyester.

All that being said, this trusty little device is certainly a game-changer. Whether you're ready to upgrade an older Amazon model or finally want to dip your toes in the smart home ecosystem, now's the time to do it!
