If you weren’t quick enough on the draw to catch the All-new Echo Dot (3rd Gen) Smart Speaker with Alexa on sale during Black Friday last year, we’ve got some great news: it’s back on sale! Amazon’s newest version of its best-selling Alexa speaker ever is a big jump over the 2nd-generation model. It has better voice recognition thanks to upgraded microphones, and it has better sound quality thanks to new speakers. All that will cost you just $29.99 if you hurry!
