It wouldn’t be Black Friday without ludicrous savings on an Amazon Echo Dot that makes a mockery of the year-round price on this great sounding smart speaker.
Amazon US is selling the Echo Dot 5th Generation for just $22.99, which is 54% off the usual asking price of $49.99.
In the UK you can currently snag the same product – which is the latest generation of the Echo Dot – for an even better saving. It’s £22.99 instead of £54.99 and that’s a 58% saving overall.
Both offers come with rapid delivery at no extra cost for Prime members. Both deals offer the speakers in multiple colours too, so take your pick.
Echo Dot 5th Gen sinks way below half-price
The Amazon Echo Dot is available at less than half price in both the UK and the US on Black Friday.
