Amazon’s popular “Echo Dot” smart speaker has gotten consistently good updates over the last few years, and the company’s fifth-generation Echo Dot is undoubtedly its best speaker yet. Released last year, the latest Echo Dot gets improved bass, along with touch controls and snooze-friendly alarm sensors that’ll make your mornings just a little easier. 

Now, a new Amazon deal gets you the all-new Echo Dot on sale for just $22. Regularly $50+, the deal saves you a whopping 54% off the listed price online.

This fabric-lined compact smart speaker can be used as your alarm clock, or you can pair it with your phone to play music or podcasts; the speaker delivers surprisingly loud, vibrant sound that’s great for bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms or small studios.

The Echo Dot is equipped with Amazon Alexa; use your voice to ask Alexa to set an alarm, check the weather, read the news, or check on your daily appointments. You can also pair the Echo Dot with your smart home devices and use it as a smart hub to adjust thermostats, lock doors, and turn off lights all with your voice. This is one of Amazon’s most popular devices too, with a 4.7-star rating (out of five) from more than 70,000 verified reviews.

Another way you can get a discount on the new Echo Dot? You can save some cash when you buy the Echo Dot (5th Gen) as a bundle deal with the Amazon Echo earbuds. Normally $100+ if purchased separately, get the speaker and a pair of wireless earbuds for under $60 as part of a current promotion running online.

Make sure to take advantage of the deal before it’s over, and add to your smart home collection today. See the full Echo bundle details here.
