Get an Echo Dot for £25/$25 during Amazon Big Deal Days sale
Amazon is currently offering a cracking Echo Dot deal in the US and UK for Amazon's Big Deal Days sale
Looking for a smart assistant device you can drop anywhere in your gaff? Amazon has slashed the price of the latest generation Echo Dot in the Amazon Big Deal Days sale, with more than 50% off the RRP. That means you can grab one for a mega-cheap price.
You can pick up an Echo Dot on Amazon UK for £23, versus the usual £55 RRP. You can opt to get the Echo Dot 5th gen in cloud blue, glacier white, charcoal and deep sea blue. In the US, it’s down from $50 to $23 – saving you 54%.
The latest version of the Echo Dot was launched in 2022. It binned the round ‘puck’ shape in favour of a sphere, like the bigger Amazon Echo. The latest Dot is no slouch in the audio department, with an immersive speaker providing boosted audio quality.
There’s also a Kids Edition, which is also on sale on both Amazon US and UK, but is only on offer this side of the pond:
- Get the Echo Dot Kids from Amazon UK for £28 (57% off £65 RRP)
In addition to its standard smart home features, Alexa can be expanded with skills. These range from the useful, such as playing radio stations or getting recipe ideas in the kitchen, to the silly and child-pleasing, such as collections of rude sound effects. You can listen to Audible audiobooks – another Amazon company. Plus, control all kinds of third-party devices including robot vacuum cleaners, Smart TVs and smart speakers. You can also integrate Alexa with software including calendars from iCloud, Google, Microsoft Office and more, get data from your Fitbit and control smart plugs.
