its range of smart speakers are some of the most sought-after when Amazon Prime Day hits, and tend to receive great discounts.

My Echo Pop speaker is a simple device that I've been relying on for almost three years and it's still responding to my voice prompts, but has developed
a mind of its own, and I think it's time to see what the Echo Dot 5th Gen is all about.

Though it's not the most recent device in Amazon's lineup, it's still one of the best smart speakers we've tested in the past few years, and Amazon UK is offering two for the price of (almost) one which gives you two Echo Dot 5th Gen speakers for 58.98 (was 109.98) . Though this deal isn't available in the US, the standalone Echo Dot is discounted to $34.99 down from $49.99 a small but sweet offer.

Dot 5th Gen : was $49.99 now $34.99 at Amazon Unfortunately for US shoppers, the above 2-pack deal isn't available, but there are still offers on the singular Echo Dot 5th Gen listing. As is with a lot of Amazon devices, the deals tend to fluctuate, but this model still hasn't been able to beat its record-low Black Friday price from 2024. There's a chance the price could
drop a little more come Prime Day, but we doubt it'll be anything ground-breaking. View Deal My smart speaker has become integral to my daily life, whether that's for setting reminders to adding important events into
the calendar, or playing music and radio which is more often the case. But if you're also stuck using an older device and need more of a kick out of a
smart hub, this could be your sign to treat yourself.

As mentioned, it's not the newest model from Amazon, but as it stands the
Echo Dot Max isn't currently discounted in the UK it's discounted $64.99 in the US , but is still double the price of the 5th Gen model).

But what about Alexa+ I hear you ask? It turns out that you don't need to upgrade to the latest smart speaker to take advantage of Amazon's upgraded voice assistant, as it's also accessible through older Echo devices. Alexa+
is now available for user in the UK after being locked into the US for over a year, so shoppers on both sides of the pond can test it out for less.

Though you can still get Alexa+ on cheaper speakers like the Echo Pop, the Echo Dot 5th packs even more of a punch on the audio front and comes with
even smarter features like new tap gestures, as well as the room temperature sensors.

Alexa+ is included with an Amazon Prime subscription ($14.99 / 8.99 a month), or it's standalone subscription is $19.99/ 19.99 a month for non-Prime members.
