The powerful Amazon Echo Dot Max can easily fill a room with balanced sound, and this limited-time deal allows you to get it at a fraction of the price, making it an ideal Christmas gift.
Originally launched at a £/$99.99 price point in October, the Echo Dot Max was designed to be a step above Amazon’s other smart speakers in terms of audio quality, turning the device into a proper audio source for larger gatherings or parties.
At 20% off for a limited time only, you can get the Echo Dot Max for just £/$79.99. Not only is the device a smart speaker designed to let Alexa handle requests with a bigger audio range than before, but it can also serve as a smart home hub.

Going back to the sound quality, the Dot Max uses Amazon’s Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos technology to create an immersive listening experience.
This type of technology is best suited to larger spaces where the original Echo Dots wouldn’t be able to fill the audio range quite the same, but with the Dot Max, you can have your favourite tunes, podcasts, and more come to life in a way that surrounds you effortlessly.

In spite of the access to more powerful audio, the Dot Max can still talk to Alexa in a way that you may be more familiar with. With full Alexa+ support (although this is currently not available in the UK), alongside the usual skills many will already be accustomed to.
Because of all this bespoke processing, the Dot Max can better anticipate the needs of the user, meaning that you’ll be pinged less about what the device thinks you’re requesting, but instead only be met with the maximised context understanding where it really counts.
There’s a great level of interactivity and buy-in required from the user to get the most out of the Dot Max, but when the smart speaker is offered up at a discount, it’s a great opportunity to see what all the fuss is about.
Improved bass, better overall audio quality and a Zigbee/Thread smart home hub built in, the Amazon Echo Dot Max might be more expensive than its predecessor but it’s a clear upgrade. If you want the best audio quality then the Echo Studio (2025) is a better choice, while those with the old Echo (4th Generation) will find that they have slightly better audio quality. However, for new users looking for an Alexa smart speaker that’s decent for music, this is the best all-rounder – it would be nice to see Alexa+ in the UK to really maximise its capabilities, though.
