We've got our eyes peeled for all the best Black Friday deals, and that includes the best Echo device deals in Amazon's Black Friday sale - but there's one smart speaker in particular that's convincing me to upgrade this shopping season.
Of all the best smart speakers we've tested and reviewed, the Echo Dot 5th Gen has proved to be one of the most popular devices this Black Friday season. On Amazon UK, you can save an impressive 45% and get one now for £29.99 (was £54.99). And US shoppers aren't being left out either, as Amazon US is listing the same speaker for $31.99 (was $49.99) - saving you 36%/ $18.
Today's best Echo Dot 5th Gen Black Friday deal
Save 45%Amazon Echo Dot 5th Gen : was £54.99 now £29.99 at AmazonUK deal: If you want a small smart speaker with adequate audio performance, this is the one to go for, and you can save £25 in Amazon's Black Friday sale. This device fluctuates in price often and, if we look at its history, tends to drop a little lower on Black Friday itself.

Save 36%Amazon Echo Dot 5th Gen : was US$49.99 now US$31.99 at AmazonUS deal: Shoppers in the US also have the chance to bag a great Black Friday deal on the Echo Dot speaker and save $18. For the past two years, the Echo Dot has reached lower prices by the time Black Friday arrives, so it's likely this could happen again in a few days' time.
View DealOut of all the Amazon smart home devices we've tested, this Echo Dot comes out on top as the best one for Alexa users. The 5th Gen model is similar to its predecessor, but it packs a temperature sensor and upgraded tap gestures.
In spite of its neat upgrades, it remains simple to use and avoids complications, fitting smoothly into your daily life while offering another means of controlling other devices in your setup, such as the best smart lights. Additionally, it fits perfectly in almost any room in your home.
On the audio front, it offers a satisfactory performance with a decent enough sound quality, but it's definitely a smart speaker first, and an audio system second.
