Maybe you already own a smart speaker, but you want one for every room. Or maybe you’re truly out of gift ideas, and a smart speaker is the best one you’ve got. Either way, Cyber Monday is probably the best time to buy one. Of course, the biggest consideration to make when thinking about which model to get is the assistant you prefer to use: Amazon’s Alexa or Google’s Assistant?
This year’s best speaker deals also include some with displays and others that are purely speakers, which another consideration you should make. If you’re cooking a lot, a display might be nice for recipes.
