Amazon customers can buy an Echo Dot for less than half price but they’ll have to be quick as the offer ends soon
Home assistant smart devices have been all the rage for a few years, mainly because they are multi-use: they work as a speaker, a go-to Q&A source, and can compile lists and set alarms, among other things. There are a handful of options on the market, but perhaps the most notable is Amazon’s Echo range.
These devices are relatively affordable, accessible and are quite easy to set up and use. Currently, customers can buy the latest Echo Dot (Newest gen) for £39.99, down from £54.99 (sale date ends on Tuesday, May 19).
However, thanks to a money-saving platform, shoppers can get it for even cheaper. Top Cashback gives new members who sign up via this link a £15 welcome bonus and cashback for buying through its links – which plummets the price.
So, with the two offers combined, new members of TopCashback and all customers of Amazon can effectively get it for £24.12 after cashback. The deal is not as enticing for existing TopCashback members, who will get it for £39.12 after cashback.
Owners of the Echo Dot (Newest gen) can listen to podcasts, audiobooks, and music, as well as use Alexa for weather updates, timers, and to ask questions. It can also be synced with multiple compatible Echo or Fire TV devices.

The Echo Dot (Newest gen) is on sale for £39.99, down from £54.99. On top of this, new members of TopCashback and all customers of Amazon can get it for £24.12 after cashback.
Amazon’s Echo Dot (Newest gen) also features multiple layers of privacy controls, including a Microphone Off button that electronically disconnects the microphones. It’s available in three colours: blue, charcoal and white.
Alternatively, Apple fans may enjoy this HomePod Mini Smart Speaker, although it’s fairly dearer at £99. It can play music and audio, and it also has Siri for weather updates, timers, and more. This option can also be used to send messages and take hands-free calls.
Households that are on the hunt for an indoor camera to keep an eye on pets or little ones may prefer this Ring Indoor Camera, which is also on sale at Amazon for £29.99, down from £39.99. It’s equipped with a two-way talk system feature.
Nevertheless, it is hard to overlook the 53,000 reviews for Amazon’s Echo Dot (Newest gen), with many reviewers praising its ease of use. One person said: “Connects easily with my lightnings and sockets. Also, it’s easy to set an alarm when going to bed. Overall, it makes my life easy.”
Someone else remarked: “I purchased 2 of these Echo Dots from Amazon, they were on a good offer at the time and look really nice in the home. The sound is better than my old original Echo Dots, and I found them extremely simple and quick to set up, as I already had an Alexa account with Amazon.
“They are so useful for an automated home for smart lights and heating, plus with Amazon music, I find them so easy to use throughout our home; they make life easier and more enjoyable.”
Another user noted good and bad points in their review, saying: “I love the colour and clear sound, being an Audible customer, this is important. The only downside is the Alexa+, as its conversational style, instead of direct answers, is frustrating. I don’t need to be told, “just a sec” when I want to set reminders and have it go off on a tangent. That’s maybe just me, though, as I do love the reminders and Audible.”
Another person said: “Absolutely amazing, bought it to replace a bedside radio. Much better than the radio and does so much more. I have since bought smart lightbulbs for my flat and can voice-activate them through Alexa. The device is tiny, yet the sound is really good. It has a temperature sensor, which I find really useful. I can easily see myself buying more of this range.”
An additional shopper added: “Bought as a gift and they love it. What can you say, these Amazon products are, in my eyes, one of the best things out there. We have one for my parents who are 90 and have set reminders for them to drink, exercise and take medication. Such a great product, even if you just want to ask the weather or play music, you can just use it for so much, every home should have one.”
