AH Real Deal: Amazon's newest Echo Dot returns to all-time low

If you’ve yet to get yourself a smart speaker in the home then you should check out Amazon’s latest Echo Dot, which is currently sitting at its all-time low price. The Echo Dot normally retails for $49.99 at full price but Amazon is discounting it for Cyber Week, bringing the cost down by 54%. That means you can pick it up for just $22.99 right now. This is the lowest this generation of the speaker has ever been.

The sale for $22.99 is also only for the Charcoal color. The Glacier White and Deep Sea Blue colors are also on sale, but they’re only discounted to $27.99. So if you want the lowest price, Charcoal is the one you’ll need to go for. The Echo Dot is a smart speaker powered by Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant. So it’s capable of doing a ton of different stuff.

You can use it as an alarm if you want to have it on your bedside table, for example. However, there’s a lot more you can use it for. Wherever you decide to place it, the speaker will let you do everything from asking questions about places to eat on vacation to controlling other smart home devices. It’s also capable of playing music from connected phones and tablets.

My personal favorite thing about it is the ability to stream audiobooks from Audible with it. Audible is a great way to get through books you’ve always wanted to read, but just don’t have the time to sit down and read. What’s nice about streaming them from the Echo Dot is you can have the audiobook playing in the background while you do other stuff, such as cooking.

It has nifty tap controls to pause music and alarms too. All-in-all it’s a great little device to have in the home. And at $23, it’s well worth it.
