Well, you skipped Black Friday! After you’re done kicking yourself, you can look at some amazing Cyber Monday deals that are happening. If you’re looking to save some money on a new smart device to control your smart home, look no further than the Amazon Echo Dot. For Cyber Monday, the Echo Dot is 54% off, making the price only $22.99.
Over the past decade, Amazon has released a bunch of Echo devices. These are physical devices that combine a speaker, voice assistant, and smart home device into one. If you’re not looking to pick up a large device to take up space on your desk, you can look into getting the Dot.
This is a fairly compact device that can fit on your desk or kitchen counter. It has a neat minimalist design that looks aesthetically pleasing. It’s perfectly round, except for the bottom, and it can fit in with most of your decor. You have your choice between Charcoal, Deep Sea Blue, and Glacier White for colorways, and they all look nice.
There’s a ring light that surrounds the bottom of the Echo Dot, and this does two things. Firstly, it adds to the overall look of the device. It lights up and gives it a nice futuristic look.
The second thing it does is indicates the device’s status. When you’re talking to it, you’ll see it glowing blue. Also, if you deafen the microphone so it’s not listening to you, it’ll be red.
On top of the Echo Dot you’ll see three buttons that easily allow you to control it. You’ll see the “+” and “-” buttons to control the volume. Also, there’s the Alexa button that will summon the assistant without you needing to use the hot word.
If you’re looking for a Bluetooth speaker replacement, then the Echo Dot can come in handy. The company fitted this device with a powerful and high-quality speaker. You can ask Alexa to play some music for you, and it will pull music from different popular streaming services like iHeartRadio, Spotify, and more.
