The Echo Dot with clock is now under £30 in the Amazon Summer Sale – that’s an incredible 50% off but you’ll have to be quick

July usually sees Amazon’s incredibly popular Prime Day sales event. While it may be postponed to later on in the year, you can still grab some incredible seasonal discounts in the Amazon Summer Sale. 

The flash sale, which ends on Sunday 12 July, is a great time to pick up huge bargains across Amazon’s departments, including big savings on popular tech items. 

Today marks the first day of the Amazon Summer Sale and to kick things off the mega-site is slashing the price of the iconic Echo Dot with clock. Knocking a whopping 50 per cent off the full price, it means you can now get the Alexa speaker for only £29.99. But you’ll have to be quick as the offer expires at midnight.

The Echo Dot (3rd generation) Smart speaker with clock and Alexa is now reduced to only £29.99 in the Amazon Summer Sale

The 3rd Generation Echo Dot is Amazon’s most popular smart speaker. The voice-controlled smart speaker with Alexa can be added to any room in your home. Simply plug in the device, connect to your wifi with the Alexa App on your smartphone, and ask away for music, news, information and more.

Keep by your bedside table to set your morning alarm or to listen to audiobooks from Audible, fill your kitchen with music and set timers when cooking AND connect to third-party services too. The smart speaker can also track fitness, answer questions, and even allow you to voice control your home.

With a staggering 169,825 reviews on Amazon, the Echo Dot is an insanely popular buy. Now reduced to a hugely tempting £29.99, there really has never been a better time to invest and see what the fuss is about. 

Amazon’s 3rd Gen Echo Dot is now even better thanks to the LED display that can show the time, outdoor temperature or timers.

Use as your bedside clock and ask Alexa to set alarms and snooze by tapping the top of the device. The display’s brightness automatically adjusts via its light sensor.

Just like a regular Echo Dot, you can access Audible and play music from a number of streaming services, like Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify and more.

Use your voice to play songs, ask for the weather, set reminders and manage compatible smart home devices using your voice. Switch on the lamp before getting out of bed, turn on the coffee machine on your way to the kitchen

A whopping 84 per cent of the reviews on Amazon have given the Echo Dot with clock a flawless five-star rating. Customers have raved about the ‘neat and responsive’ smart device with one customer writing ‘this is a fantastic little device, good sound, excellent voice pickup’.    

One Amazon shopper raved: ‘Overall, the latest Echo Dot is the easiest, cheapest, and best way to bring Alexa into the home. It works well on its own or can be nicely integrated into a myriad of other smart home and audio/visual products, allowing the masses to bring voice control and smart features just a command away.’

Another added: ‘This is my 2nd Dot and it’s great. So easy to use. Alarms, reminders, timers, apps and of course Prime Music and it’s so easy that everyone can use it with no problems. Love it.’

A third wrote: ‘I have to admit that for the price, you get an awful lot of playtime with this, especially for the kids, but the more you use it, the more useful it becomes. Great audio quality for the size so being able to listen to BBC radio or Spotify whilst in the kitchen was great.’
