There are Echo Dot deals all the time at Amazon. That is obviously a big part of the reason why it’s the single best-selling Alexa smart speaker that Amazon has ever made. Now that fall Prime Day is almost here, the company is offering some of the most impressive Echo Dot deals of 2024.

In this comprehensive guide, you’ll find deals on the Echo Dot and other popular Echo smart speakers that Amazon makes. Plus, there are some special bundle deals available right now that get you free or discounted stuff along with your Echo speaker.

Amazon is currently offering some of the best deals of the year on the Echo Dot lineup. The only bad news is that since Prime Big Deal Days is about to take place, these sale prices are only available to Prime members.

Some of the best deals right now are offers that get you a TP-Link Tapo Smart Color Bulb with the Echo Dot or with the Echo Pop. The Echo Dot bundle will cost you $22.99 instead of $75, while the Echo Pop bundle is even cheaper at $17.99, down from $65.

Or, you can always get these speakers on their own, especially since a new sale just kicked off. The Echo Dot is down to $22.99, which is the lowest price of the season. Or, you can pick up as many Echo Pop speakers as you want for just $17.99 each. That’s also an all-time low.

Finally, the hot new Echo Spot is also on sale for $44.99 instead of $80. This new-for-2024 device is basically an upgraded Echo Dot with a built-in screen that shows you the time, weather, and more.

We’ll tell you all about those Echo deals and more in this extensive guide.

Amazon typically offers at least a few impressive Echo speaker deals at any given time. Right now, however, the deals are even better than the ones we typically see on Amazon — especially if you’re a Prime subscriber.

First and foremost, the new Echo Pop retails for $39.99, which is a terrific price. This is basically a replacement for the Echo Dot 3rd-Gen that everyone loved so much. It has a far more modern design though, as well as better sound quality and better microphones so Alexa can hear you from farther away.

Currently, while Amazon is running a special sale, you can pick up the Echo Pop for $17.99 instead of $80.

On top of that, there’s one other noteworthy deal available on the Echo Pop.

Instead of just purchasing one on its own, you can get the Echo Pop bundled with a TP-Link Tapo LED smart bulb, and you’ll save even more money. This is the biggest discount we’ve ever come across for this bundle.

TP-Link Tapo is one of the hottest smart home brands out there right now, so that’s a great deal.

Meanwhile, if you want the latest and greatest Alexa speakers that Amazon offers, there are some Echo Dot 5th-Gen deals with your name all over them.

This week, Amazon is offering a discount that slashes the price of the Echo Dot 5th-Gen smart speaker to $22.99 instead of $50, which is a huge 54% discount.

The current-generation speaker has a totally new design compared to the old 3rd-gen model that was a best-seller for so many years. It also has improved speaker quality, more mics that have better far-field performance, and much better sound quality.

As we mentioned earlier, there’s also a great bundle deal available right now.

Instead of getting this smart speaker on its own, you can pair it with a TP-Link Tapo Smart Color Bulb for just $26.98. That’s 61% off the regular price of $65, making this one of the best deals you’ll find on any smart speaker this season.

Finally, last but certainly not least, Amazon is offering its first-ever discount on a new addition to the Echo lineup.

The Echo Spot is like an Echo Dot with a screen, but it’s not a screen like the one you’ll find on an Echo Show smart display. It’s also not as basic as something like the old “Echo Dot with clock” that no one really seemed to be into. Instead, the Echo Spot sits in between the two, showing you the time, the weather, and other simple things.

Amazon’s Echo Spot retails for $80, but it’s on sale for $44.99 right now.

Those are all great deals on the Echo Dot and more, and they’ll likely last until at least the end of the week. Also of note, you can check out all of the current Amazon device deals right here.

UPDATE: Amazon has paused its $0.99 Echo Dot deal, which had previously been the focus of this guide. This deal has been paused many times over the past couple of years. Each time, it typically returns after a few weeks. In the meantime, we’ll keep this information here, and you can check back periodically to see when the deal returns. We’ve also rounded up all the best alternative Echo Dot deals and other Echo deals that are currently available.

Our readers’ favorite Echo Dot deal of all time is the sale that slashes the Echo Dot and Amazon Music Unlimited bundle for just $9.98.

Since AMU costs $8.99 (or $9.99 without Prime), that means you’re getting an Echo Dot for only $0.99! Needless to say, that’s the lowest price ever.

It’s important to note that the AMU subscription will automatically renew each month, of course, and if you like it you can keep it and ditch Spotify or Apple Music. Or, if you’d rather stick with what you know, that’s okay too. Just go to this page and you’ll be able to cancel anytime. You’ll find a list of all your subscriptions on that Amazon page. Beneath each one, there is a link that will let you cancel it.

Here are the terms & conditions for this fantastic Echo Dot deal. The biggest takeaways are that not everyone is eligible, and this limited-time deal.

As always, Amazon isn’t clear at all when it comes to who is eligible. Your best bet is simply to try it out to see if you can get in on the action. If you can’t, you’ll see a message on the deal page that reads, “The offer is currently available to eligible customers. Select a different configuration to continue with purchase.”

Also of note, we have no idea when this deal ends.

Amazon typically specifies an end date, but there’s nothing to be found in the terms & conditions. That just means you should probably take advantage now unless you’re okay with missing out on the action.

Other top Amazon tech deals

As we mentioned, there’s one big problem with these fantastic Echo Dot deals: some of the best offers are not available to everyone. If you’ve already tried Amazon Music Unlimited, for example, you’re sadly not eligible for the $0.99 Echo Dot even when it’s available to everyone else.

Of course, the good news is that there are tons of other deals available right now on Amazon. Some of our readers’ favorite offers right now include AirPods for just $89, AirPods Pro 2 for $189, a rare discount on the MyQ smart garage door controller, and the M2 MacBook Air 13-inch is down to just $899, which is an all-time low.

You’ll also find deep discounts on best-sellers like the Dyson V8 cordless vacuum, the Fire TV Stick 4K, the Bissell Little Green carpet and upholstery cleaner, and the Waterpik Pulse cordless water flosser, which has been bought by more than 20,000 people in the past month alone.
