You can always add an Alexa speaker somewhere in the house, so it makes sense to take advantage of the deals when you can find them. Currently, you can get the Amazon Echo Dot 4th Gen Smart Speaker for under $40. It’s a suitable choice if you’re trying to build a network of speakers around your home, but it also works great as a standalone unit

The Dot is Amazon’s most popular smart speaker. It’s compact enough to fit into small spaces in your home, office, and even your camper, just about anywhere you want to hear music with crisp vocals and balanced bass. Place them in multiple rooms to send announcements to the other speakers. It’s a great way to let the family know it’s time for dinner or that you’re running errands and will be back in a few hours.

Amazon Echo Dot 4th Gen Network

Use the Alexa voice assistant to play a song, artist, or genre through your choice of music services: Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, and more. Also listen to the radio, podcasts, audiobooks, and more. Alexa can set the time, answer questions, add to a list, and create calendar events and reminders. It can also control your smart home devices, including lights, a Ring Doorbell, and the thermostat.

Alexa Guard can be activated on the Amazon Echo Dot 4th Gen Smart Speaker to send you mobile alerts if it detects a smoke alarm or breaking glass while you’re gone. Get even more help with a subscription to Guard Plus, including an Emergency Helpline that can be called via Alexa. Note that there is a button to turn off the mic to protect your privacy.

Take $10 off the price of the speaker and pay just $39.99. Get it in your choice of colors: Charcoal, Glacier White, and Twilight Blue.
