Alexa, is this real? The latest Echo Dot (5th gen) is at its lowest-ever price for Cyber Monday – grab this 58% discount before it’s too late

In a continuation from last week’s major sales, the Cyber Monday deals are offering major discounts on a range of Amazon’s smart home devices, including the all-new Echo Dot (Gen 5).

This is an excellent first smart speaker, whether you just want simple smart home features or more advanced capabilities like automations for whole-home control. While it’s mostly an iterative improvement on previous generations, additions like the built-in temperature sensor make this an excellent addition to family homes, and its improved sound quality makes it an excellent speaker for small to medium-size rooms. In both the US and the UK, it’s hit its record-low price; in the US it’s $22.99, and £22.99 in the UK.

Consider also checking out the Cyber Monday Ring doorbell deals, especially if you’re ready to make your home smarter. While the Echo Dot (Gen 5) doesn’t have a screen for remote viewing your latest visitors, there are also some excellent Cyber Monday smart display deals, if you prefer.

The Echo Dot (Gen 5) is a few years old now, and while we might (and hope to) see a new generation release in the next few years, it’ll likely only be another iterative update. Still, it’s software that really counts with smart speakers, and Amazon keeps Alexa feeling fresh and contemporary with regular updates.
