Alexa fans rush to buy £55 Echo Dot scanning for £22 this Prime Day | The Sun

AMAZON Prime Day is now in full swing, and some of the best price cuts are on the retailer's smart devices.

The 5th-generation Echo Dot has plummeted to just £21.99 in a 60% discount – that's its lowest price ever.

• Echo Dot (5th-generation), £21.99 (was £54.99) – buy from Amazon

Amazon's two-day sale started this morning (Tuesday 11th July) and will run until midnight on Wednesday.

During this time, there will be thousands of price cuts on the Amazon site available to Prime subscribers.

It should come as no major surprise that some of the finest deals, in terms of pure savings, come on Amazon's own-brand line of smart devices.

One standout discount is the hefty £33 price drop on the latest-generation Echo Dot, which hit the market in October 2022.

Since then, we've been keeping one eye fixed on its price, hoping to see it drop substantially every time a sale comes along – and we've not been disappointed for Amazon Prime Day.

The Echo Dot's services are plentiful: courtesy of built-in Alexa, you can get it to relay the news and weather, wake you up each morning, play music from your Spotify account and act as an intercom if you hook it up with a Ring Video Doorbell.

On Amazon's product page, you'll see it's earned an impressive 4.7 out of 5 user rating and reviews are positive across the board.

One user describes it as a 'compact powerhouse' and writes: 'After several weeks with the [Dot] I'm completely sold… Despite its small size, [it] packs a punch when it comes to features and sound quality, especially when paired for stereo audio.'

That's a good point: if you want to bring some ample sound into your sound, you could buy two Echo Dots and sync them together.

Our advice, with all Amazon devices, is to never buy one at full price since the savings are so huge during sales periods.

This is one of just dozens of deals on tablets, TV streaming sticks, 4K televisions and e-readers that are on sale today – we've got them all listed on our Amazon device deals page.
