Now’s your chance to add some smarts to your home for a bargain price with this Echo Dot deal.

Even though I’m the proud owner of several small Google Nest speakers, I’ll be the first to admit that the Amazon Echo Dot has one key advantage: sound quality.

If you’ve had a similar experience to me, then you’ll know how worthwhile it can be to have a great sounding speaker in your home, so to build on that, Amazon has since introduced improvements to the Echo Dot. Now, thanks to this early Prime Day offer, you can get the newest model Echo Dot for just $31.99 (was $49.99).

When you compare that price to much of the competition, you’ll see right off the bat that Amazon’s offering is the more budget-friendly option by far.

The Echo Dot has a lot of smart home features, but it is also a surprisingly great-sounding compact speaker.

Of course, when coupled with Alexa, you’ll be getting an experience that goes well beyond simply playing music. Whenever you feel like unwinding after the day and want to listen to your favourite tunes, just summon Alexa and ask her to play what you want to hear.

Similarly, you can enjoy a cheeky podcast or audiobook, all without ever having to whip out your phone. The Dot can also be used to control compatible smart home devices such as Hue Lights, and if you have any of the best smart plugs set up, then you can schedule a routine where Alexa switches a certain appliance on or off at a specific time.

These are all just great examples of how Amazon’s cutest of smart speakers can keep your day running smoothly, and if you’d come to appreciate any of those features on your current speaker, the Echo Dot is just waiting to offer them with far more vibrancy and detail.

For just $49.99, with 36% off, you won’t find a better Alexa speaker for the price, pure and simple.
