Amazon is running a sale on their Echo products, and the best deals are available on the Amazon Echo Show 5 and 8, both ideal for video conferencing between separated families, especially the less technically savvy family members who need a simple to use video calling appliance.

The new Echo Show 8 is now available for just $99 from Amazon US, a whole $30 below the usual retail price.

With a vivid 8-inch HD display, crisp and powerful audio, and a built-in camera shutter, Echo Show 8 is Amazon’s most versatile smart display yet. With a new integration with Food Network, you can watch episodes of cooking shows from Bobby Flay, Giada de Laurentiis, and more—and when you see a recipe you like, all you have to do is ask Alexa to save the recipe to view it later. Food Network Kitchen subscribers will also be able to take live and on demand cooking classes from Food Network chefs, get step-by-step cooking instructions, and have access to tens of thousands of recipes. The smart display also supports Amazon’s Prime Video and YouTube.
