Wish you had a smart speaker in every room? You can make it happen with this steal on Amazon’s popular Echo Dot.
On sale for Black Friday at a mere $22.99—an all-time low—Amazon’s steeply discounted Echo Dot is a no-brainer if you want to turn your house into a smart home. Already have a Dot but want more? There’s no better time to add to your collection.
The Echo Dot packs a surprising number of features for its size and price. Its main draw is Alexa, which controls smart-home devices, gives weather reports, manages shopping lists and reminders, and handles many other voice tasks.
The Dot also functions as a compact wireless speaker, streaming music from Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, and other services. It’s hard to beat the Echo Dot’s audio for the price.
Other useful features include motion detection and a temperature sensor, handy for triggering Alexa routines when someone enters a room or when the temperature changes.
Plus, each Echo Dot can extend coverage for Amazon’s Eero mesh routers, boosting an Eero network’s range by up to 1,000 square feet.
The Echo Dot normally lists for $49.99, but at $22.99 it’s an excellent Black Friday buy.
