The older Amazon Echo Dot 2nd-Gen is on sale for $19.99. While this is a fantastic deal and is the new lowest price that this Echo DOt has ever been, you really should consider spending just $4 more to get the all-new Echo Dot 3rd-Gen for $24.00 because it is a far better-sounding device. Regardless which version of the Echo Dot you decide to buy, be sure to consider adding an Amazon Smart Plug to your order for just $5 more.
The third generation Dot is a better sounding device if you plan to use the internal speaker. If you’re going to connect your Dot to powered speakers or an audio system, the sound quality is about the same, and the look of the older device fits into a collection of audio components better than the new cloth covered one does. Amazon has a new device for that, the Echo Input, but at this price the Dot is significantly less expensive.
Absolutely rock solid advice Shirley. Thanks!
