Amazon Echo dot (4th gen): Was £49.99, now £24.99, Amazon.co.uk
Chances are that in every kitchen you go into there’ll be an Amazon Alexa device – and that’s because they’re just that good.
This Amazon Echo dot boasts high-quality vocals and bass – you can of course listen to music and the radio, and even control your entertainment using your voice, thanks to Alexa. Just ask it to play tunes, podcasts and audiobooks from streaming services such as Amazon Music, Spotify and Apple Music. You can also ask it plenty of questions, including what the weather will be like.
We can vouch for its performance since it featured in our review of the best smart speakers, and The Independent's technology critic David Phelan praised this revamped version of Amazon’s main smart speaker line for being “the business”. He added that it “produces great sound and slots nicely into the Amazon ecosystem”.
Amazon Echo dot (3rd gen): Was £39.99, now £19.99, Amazon.co.uk
If you’re looking for affordable ways to introduce some smart tech into your home, this speaker is for you – especially now it’s only £19.99. It’s one of the best value and smallest options available and can do all the Alexa features you’d expect, from playing the radio and your favourite playlist to answering trivia questions. Plus, it also makes a good alarm clock.
