Alexa speaker or Alexa Dot - what’s the difference?

[ThePickleMan]

Thinking of getting DD an Alexa for her room for Christmas. Can anyone tell me the difference between the bigger speaker and the dot please? Also when is best to buy them in the year? I have just missed an offer where the larger one was £56, now it’s back up to full price unfortunately. Worried I’ve missed out on a good deal as I’m not sure how often they are on offer?

we have both and the only difference is sound quality.
dot is perfect for a bedroom
speaker one is great to hear downstairs.
we also have the screen one

It’ll come back on offer. Probably another 3 or 4 times before Black Friday alone, and pretty much guaranteed the month of December that they’ll reduce them.

Oh brilliant, thank you both of you! I won’t panic, and good to know the little one will do the job. I’ve just seen the screen one and that will be perfect!

I got the dot for my OH last year as it was a bargain price on black Friday. I would keep an eye out for deals around then like a PP mentioned :) our boys use it no problem as well x

Dots are currently on offer for £25!

There’s a website called camelcamelcamel which tracks the prices of everything on Amazon, so you can look at the price change history, it also lets you set an alert to send you an email when the product reaches the price you want to pay

The new dot is on offer as well, has a visible clock on it. Perfect for a bedroom.

Thanks all. I managed to get a new dot with a clock on it on offer - £30! Awesome.
