SAVE 44%: If you haven't already upgraded your home with a smart speaker, now would be a great time: As of June 15, Amazon's fourth-gen Echo Dot is on sale for just $27.99. That's a 44% discount and the lowest price we've seen to date.

Even if you haven't bought into the smart home trend, a smart speaker is a pretty solid acquisition. And if you do have smart bulbs for mood lighting or smart plugs that save on energy usage, it can help you control the appliances in your home from the comfort of your couch.

The fourth-generation Echo Dot came out in 2020, and remains the most popular Echo smart speaker on Amazon. It's well-received for a reason — the easy, compact speaker has a sleek design that fits most aesthetics (it comes in three colors) while also delivering on sound quality. Setup is quick and simple: Just plug in, connect to WiFi, and it's ready to go.

With Alexa enabled, you can set timers, ask the internet questions, create and edit lists, create calendar events (and reminders of those events), check the traffic and weather, and control other smart home devices connected to the Internet.
