One-week bundle offer with Chromecast: $99.99 (eBay)

Ahead of Amazon Prime Day, Google paired its smart speaker ($129) with the popular Chromecast streaming stick ($35) for a $99.99 bundle on eBay. The deal is marketed to last one week.

Though not as widely popular as the device that started the smart speaker trend (Amazon Echo), Google Home is gaining traction as the speaker with the "bigger brain," due to its integration with Google's search engine.

According to TechRadar, if the Google Home keeps up its pace, it might catch up to the Amazon Echo.

Other perks: High sound quality and more personalized virtual assistance than the Echo and integration with Chromecast makes for easy, high-quality digital entertainment, according to CNET.

Still, Google’s smart assistant does need some help, consumers and experts say, arguing that changing your tone and using different words to ask a specific question often trips the virtual assistant up.
