Save $20 on the Latest Echo Dot for Cyber Week — now $30

If you were hoping to score a discount on an Echo device for Cyber Week, the good news is that you still have time to take advantage of the Amazon Cyber Week deals. The fourth-generation Echo Dot, which was released in September, is already part of the annual sale with a $20 discount, bringing the smart speaker’s price down to $30 from its original price of $50.

Digital Trends’ best smart speakers for 2020 tags this version of the fourth-generation Echo Dot with a clock as the year’s best cheap smart speaker. The version on sale eschews the time display in order to offer the device at an even lower price, which is brought down even further by Amazon’s $20 discount. If you want to enjoy the immense value that this smart speaker brings to your home over the holidays, you should click that Buy Now button as soon as you can.

For the fourth-generation Echo Dot, Amazon replaces the puck design with an attention-grabbing spherical shape, but not at the expense of audio quality. The sound produced by the device, through a 1.6-inch front-firing speaker that delivers crisp highs and a full-sounding bass, is impressive for its size.

The Echo Dot still delivers the conveniences provided by Amazon’s Alexa. The digital assistant is capable of acting on voice commands for a variety of functions, including playing songs from a range of streaming services, answering questions, and controlling connected smart home devices, among many other features. The Echo Dot also offers Alexa Guard, which can send you mobile alerts if it detects noise such as a smoke alarm or breaking glass if you let Alexa know that you’ll be leaving the house.

There’s no problem if you want to take a look at other Cyber Week Amazon Echo deals, to make sure that you’re buying the right model. However, it will be hard to find another offer that provides better value than Amazon’s $20 discount on the fourth-generation Echo Dot, which lowers the smart speaker’s price to $30 from its original price of $50.

If you’re not sold that the latest version of the Echo Dot is the perfect addition to your home, we’ve gathered the best Amazon Echo offers that are still available as part of this year’s Cyber Week deals to help you with your decision on which smart speaker to buy.

Why you should buy the Amazon Echo Dot 5
The Amazon Echo Dot 5 is a smart home speaker and portal to your smart home. You can talk with Alexa via it and, yes, as our Amazon Echo Dot 5 review points out, use Alexa as your alarm clock. When we talk about what Amazon Echo to buy, other notable features of the 5th generation of the device come to the front. In addition to having retuned sounds, this has temperature and motion sensors for cool tricks, so be sure to pair it with your smart thermostat, if possible. It also has an eero built-in to its core. Not bad for just $25.

If you've always wanted easy access to Amazon's Alexa across your home but you're not willing to spend hundreds of dollars on Amazon Echo deals to equip several rooms with a smart speaker, then don't miss this chance to get the Amazon Echo Pop for only $20. A limited-time deal from Amazon has slashed the device's price with a $20 discount on its original price of $40, so you'll be able to afford to buy multiple. You're going to have to hurry though, as it may be back to its regular price as soon as tomorrow.

Why you should buy the Amazon Echo Pop
The Amazon Echo Pop isn't going to challenge the performance of the Amazon Echo Studio nor match the 360-degree sound of the Amazon Echo Dot, but it's a great way to access Alexa without spending a lot of money, according to our guide on which Amazon Echo should you buy. It's very compact so you'll be able to easily find a spot for it within any room, and while its front-facing design is a bit limiting, it's a minor trade-off especially if you're planning to place it in a small area.

DeWalt Cyber Monday Deals: Save on power tools and accessories

There are lots of tech goodies on sale during Cyber Monday deals, but you shouldn't overlook the chance to get more practical things like power tools with a discount. That oversized TV you purchased from today's Cyber Monday TV deals won't mount itself. We've collected all of the best power tool Cyber Monday deals in one spot for you already, but with power tools it is often best to zoom in on one brand. This is largely because of their batteries, which you can use from one product to the next within the same brand, encouraging you to buy from the same brand again and again.

With this in mind, we look at DeWalt's tools and accessories. Their 20V line of cordless power tools is particularly popular and we're seeing good deals on them for Black Friday. Additionally, we'll be taking a look at some of their accessories, which are also on sale at this time of the year.
