Looking to buy a JBL speaker for my kitchen. Are there any updated recommendations?

Here are the ones I see when looking on Amazon:

Flip 5 - $90
Flip 6 - $105
Charge 4 - $100
Charge 5 - $140
Extreme 2 - $200

Any insight would be helpful

Not JBL. But I have 2 of these of for sale in Brooklyn. $100 each (RED)

Beats Pill+ Portable Wireless Speaker - Stereo Bluetooth, 12 Hours of Listening Time, Microphone for Phone Calls - Black (Page 1 of 1)

Thanks, but already ordered one (JBL Charge 5).

As an aside, I try to keep away from speakers that have a phone connection, after my kid used it once and mistakenly called 911.

Interestingly, I made up with my wife that we are getting rid of my smart speakers the second any of my kids realize how to use it. (I mainly use it for a baby monitor, though I have a few devices in my bedroom that are smart-enabled).

The first time my kid tried, he mistakenly called the police. He got so traumatized, that none of my kids every tried using it again. It's been more than a year now and still didn't have any issue with kids using it.

And he certainly will know what to do if CV there is a need..

Last thing I want is for my kid to start fiddling around with an Alexa device in case of an emergency. I have a number of phones in my house, and my older kids all know the numbers. 911 and this one:
