The speaker may be small and compact but it’s got a lot of cool features and access to the useful virtual assistant Alexa.
With more of us having to work from home, having a good smart speaker can be useful for things like setting reminders and timers.
You can also ask Alexa to create to do lists for you or just ask for news updates.
You can play music through the Dot speaker via bluetooth or ask Alexa to play a radio station.
If you have a smart home system setup you can use the Echo Dot to control things like dimming the lights.
At just 3.9 inches in diameter and less than 2 inches tall, the speaker can fit seamlessly into any home setting without taking up space.
The Echo Dot 3rd Gen has a fabric casing with a plastic top.
It comes in three colours.
These are charcoal, silver/grey and white.
However, the two darker colours are currently sold out on the Currys PC World website.
If you don’t want the speaker in white you’ll need to submit your email address to find out when the other colours come back in stock.

What is Alexa?
If you’ve never heard of Alexa, here’s what you need to know…
- Alexa is an “intelligent” personal assistant built by Amazon.
- You can find her on several different devices, including Amazon’s Echo speakers.
- Alexa responds to voice commands, and can talk back to you.
- She can perform thousands of different tasks, including telling you about the news or weather.
- But she can do more complex things too, like ordering a pizza or arranging an Uber taxi pick-up.
- To activate Alexa, you need to say “Alexa” to an Amazon Echo speaker.
- Because she’s powered by artificial intelligence, Alexa is constantly getting smarter.
- Alexa will also get more used to your voice, and better understand what you want her to do over time.
