Prime Big Deal Days is well on its way, happening this Tuesday, October 10, with deals starting at 3 a.m. ET. Like past Prime Days, several Amazon devices are on sale days before the special savings event officially starts.

At this point, it’s starting to look like a pattern. Echo Dots, Echo Shows and more start going on sale as early as a week before any Prime Day-related sale. And this time around, we already spotted the Amazon Echo Dot (5th generation, 2022 release) go on major sale this week to 54% off. That brings it down $27 from the original retail price of $49.99.

It’s quite rare to find an Echo device for under $25, and you can’t beat the fact that this discounted Echo Dot is the latest release of the model. In fact, our engineers at the Good Housekeeping Institute consider it an affordable entry into the Alexa ecosystem and were impressed by its improved audio quality.

Some other noteworthy features that GH's Chief Technologist Rachel Rothman highlighted were its built-in temperature and motion sensors that help optimize other smart home products. "For instance, we have it set if the temperature dips too low in the bedroom. Our connected and compatible fan will kick on!" she says.

More than 48,000 Amazon shoppers rated this generation of the Echo Dot five stars, giving it high marks for its simple setup, strong voice recognition and seamless smart home integration. And although it’s sleek and tiny — weighing at just 10 ounces — reviews confirm that they're more than satisfied with the sound quality.

"Despite its size, the Echo Dot delivers surprisingly rich and clear audio," shares one reviewer that gave the device a perfect rating. "Whether I'm listening to music, podcasts or audiobooks, the sound quality is consistently impressive."

The early Prime Day Echo Dot deals don't end there: The Echo Dot with a clock dropped down to $45. Rothman appreciates that you get everything you love about the original, plus a discrete LED display for reading the time, weather, song title and more. Or, score a whopping 35% off the Echo Dot Kids that also comes with a year of Amazon Kids+ content, including music, audiobooks and more.

Shop all that and more while the sales last.
