Alexa, tell us about the amazing Echo Dot deals. The 4th generation Echo Dot is now half off, making it Amazon's lowest price ever for a smart speaker. Don't miss your chance to grab the best Prime Day deals ever.

The Echo Dot is $24.99, 50% off the regular price of $49.99. The small spherical speaker provides excellent audio so you can stream music, podcasts, and audiobooks in any room. It also allows Alexa to read the news, check the weather, set alarms, and change the thermostat.

As noted in our review of the fourth-generation Echo Dot, Amazon has completely revamped the mini smart speaker, replacing the old field hockey puck design with a spherical appearance. This new version offers great features and quality at a reasonable price, as well as slightly better sound than previous models.

While it won't fill a large room with groundbreaking audio or serve as a smart home hub, it is unbeatable as a personal smart speaker for the bedroom or small living room.

Everything is done by voice, so you just ask Alexa to do something and it does it. Alexa can search the web to answer your questions, control your music and other smart home devices, and act as an intercom or voice calling system with other Alexas in your home or owned by your friends.
