Want a smart speaker with Alexa? Check out our recommendations for your first purchase!

Virtual assistants are already part of the daily lives of many Brazilians. Amazon’s Alexa smart speakers can be a simple alarm clock with a variety of functions and features, a secretary that sees your calendar and sends reminders about appointments, or even a smart hub that controls all your smart devices with simple voice commands.

But if you’ve never used Alexa or are unsure about which smart speaker to buy, we’ve prepared a brief description of some models that are great options for beginners. Check out more details below!

Alexa for beginners: Discover 3 smart speakers from Amazon

When choosing your first smart speaker with Alexa, it’s important to understand what needs you want it to fulfill. For example: do you want to use it solely as a digital desk? Do you want excellent sound quality for listening to music and podcasts? Do you want it to find and show recipes, travel routes, and entertainment for kids?

Take a look at the following three models that are great options for those making their first purchase and wanting to get the most out of what Alexa has to offer:

Echo Pop

If you don’t know much about smart devices but want to get into the world, the Echo Pop with Alexa is a good choice. It’s the most basic model in the range and also the cheapest, but it comes with all the assistant’s basic features.

The Echo Pop is highly recommended for those looking to use it in smaller environments like a bedroom, a closed kitchen or an office. So, if you’ve never used Alexa before, it’s worth starting with, mainly because of the cost advantage!

Echo Dot 5th Generation

Amazon

Arguably the most popular version of the series, the Echo Dot has a clear, vibrant sound with powerful bass that fills any space well. These features also make it a good option for those who only want to have one speaker in their home, as you can adjust the volume to access the speaker from other rooms.

This is a good option for those who want all the convenience of a virtual assistant but don’t want to give up on listening to their music and podcasts with excellent sound quality. The Echo Dot is an in-between model worth investing in.

Echo Show 5 3rd Generation

Amazon

If you’re looking for a more complete model and are better off with more visual hardware, the Echo Show 5 3rd Gen is for you. This Alexa with a screen can search and view videos, maps, recipes and news, make video calls, work as a security camera and much more.
