Amazon rolls out big savings on its Echo speakers in its second site-wide sale of the year

The Echo Dot is a robust speaker system, where you can stream immersive music, podcasts, and audiobooks via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection.

With the AI-powered voice Alexa, you can ask for the weather, set timers, ask questions, and other playful interactions.

It can also control compatible smart home devices such as lights, plugs, cameras, and door locks.

You can also sync multiple Echo devices at once or pair with the Fire TV for the ultimate cinematic experience.

Plus, the Dot is built with eero, meaning you can extend your Wi-Fi connection within minutes.

If you're worried about privacy protection, Dot offers multiple layers of privacy protection, including a Microphone Off button that electronically disconnects microphones.

Similar to the Dot, you can expect nearly all the same features with the Echo Pop. However, its smaller, more compact design makes it more ideal for smaller spaces.

The Pop may be a great option if you're new to Alexa speakers and want to invest in a more budget-friendly option. It may not suit as a standalone option for bigger spaces.

However, it can pair up with other Echos to help double up on the audio levels.

You can also choose from an array of different colour options, such as glacier white, charcoal, lavender bloom, and midnight teal.

The Echo Spot is designed as a smart alarm clock and powered with the Alexa voice assistant. You can wake up to your favourite music, check the weather, or ask Alexa to complete small tasks such as creating reminders for you.

You can also personalise your digital clock with different display colours to match your personal style.

As you can expect from other Echo devices, you can control lights and smart home devices with your voice or a simple touch

Unlike the other Echo devices, the Echo Show 8 brings a visual element to your home entertainment with an eight-inch HD touchscreen and 13-megapixel camera for crisp, clear video calls. With the HD screen, you can stream content on Prime Video, Netflix, and music via Amazon Music, Apple Music, or Spotify.

You can also showcase memories with Amazon Photos, view other adaptive content, and organise your day effortlessly.

As you'd expect, you can also engage Amazon Alexa like on the other Echo variations.

If you're thinking of buying new gadgets, fashion items, household essentials, and Amazon devices like Echo, Fire TV, and Kindle — this is the opportunity.

The event also includes early access offers, lightning deals, and personalised recommendations, making it one of the most anticipated online sales of the year for shoppers worldwide. If you're looking to take advantage of all the deals, we've rounded up everything you need to do to prepare for the best offers and shop stress-free.

To access all the savings on Amazon, though, you must have an Amazon Prime subscription. Prime membership in the UK costs £8.99 per month or £95 per year.

Students and young adults (18-22) can become a member for half the price (£4.49 per month or £47.49 per year), plus six months for free. Beyond the deals, though, there are several benefits you can take advantage of as a Prime member. You can get fast, free two-day delivery on millions of items. In some parts of the UK, you can even get next-day or same-day delivery on select items.

Plus, there are several other benefits you can take advantage of from having a membership any time during the year.

You'll get access to Prime Video to watch shows like The Summer I Turned Pretty, The Girlfriend, Fleabag, and more. However, if you're not sure a subscription to Amazon Prime is worth it, the US retailer offers a 30-day free trial where you can take advantage of all the benefits for free.

You will also have access to Rufus, which is your AI shopping companion on Amazon. If you have any questions or need real-time shopping-related advice, Rufus can answer specific shopping questions based on listing details, customer reviews and community Q&As.

For example, Rufus can answer questions such as, "Will this phone case fit the all-new iPhone 17 Pro?" or, "What are the best options for espresso machines?"

In some instances, Amazon offers a 20% off Trade-In program on new tech products like the all-new Kindle Colorsoft e-reader or Echo speaker. This will unlock even more savings on an already discounted product.

If you're looking to dip into even more savings, follow these steps to trade in your older device:

1. Choose an eligible Kindle associated with your Amazon account or search for other device(s), even if bought elsewhere
2. Answer a few questions about the condition of your device(s) to receive a trade-in quote. Even non-working devices are eligible
3. Print a shipping label and send your device(s) for free - Amazon will verify the condition within 3 days after receipt
4. Once your trade-in is complete, an Amazon gift card equal to the appraised value of your old device(s), plus the 20% discount towards any new qualifying product, will be automatically applied to your account
