The $23 Echo Dot deal is a great deal for upgrading your smart home this Black Friday

Maria Diaz/ZDNET

I’m a sucker for a good deal, and smart speakers are one of the devices I like buying during sales events. For a discounted price, you can get a speaker for your home that functions as a Bluetooth speaker and connection to your smart home. This $23 Echo Dot Black Friday deal checks all the boxes.

The Echo Dot is a great way to add Amazon Alexa to your home, bringing the virtual assistant into your routines to answer questions and run smart home devices, but it’s also a pretty decent speaker on its own, especially at $30. This speaker won’t blow the Apple HomePod mini out of the water, but it is still a great, inexpensive speaker.

For example, if you already have an Echo Dot, you could get a second one to create a stereo pair for a TV to enjoy more immersive audio during movie nights. It’s also small enough to hang out on a desk, bookshelf, or nightstand. I even have an Echo Dot in my bathroom to close the blinds and play music while I shower. 

Available in Charcoal, Deep Sea Blue, and Glacier White, the Echo Dot (5th Gen)<!–> is typically available for $50 but is currently 54% off, bringing the price down to $23 for the Black Friday sale.
