The countdown to Amazon Prime Day has begun, and Amazon Prime Day is already offering discounts on Echo-branded speakers.

Right now, you can get a third-generation Amazon Echo Dot for $39.99, or $10 off the original price; add a second Echo Dot to your cart and apply the appropriate discount code to get both for $39.98, a $60 savings.

The new spherical Amazon Echo Dot certainly deserves attention, but the third-generation Amazon Echo Dot (yes, the field hockey puck) is still the best smart speaker and one of the best inexpensive smart home devices.

It's the ultimate smart home starter device, bringing both a compact speaker and the super power of Alexa to any space, which is why the Amazon Echo Dot is a great holiday gift, and why you can buy two for less than the price of one! Why not stock up?

We're tracking Prime Day deals right now, so keep an eye on our Prime Day deals.
