Amazon's Bank Holiday sale gives Prime Day deals tough prices to beat in July

cheap amazon deals bank holiday sales

Amazon's really going for it today. We've been taking a look at a lot of Bank Holiday sales already this week and Amazon has some cracking deals today on a range of it's own devices.

We're not kidding with that headline though. £29.99 for an Amazon Echo Dot is as low as Amazon have ever discounted the small smart speaker down to as an individual purchase. And given Amazon Prime Day is all about the best chance to get the best deal on Amazon devices, we'd like to think Amazon still has something up its sleeve for the big day. £25 for a new Amazon Echo Dot anyone? We can but hope!

Not that a potential better deal should put you off picking up an Echo Dot today as you might find that by the time the July sale event rolls into town you'd actually like to pick up another one for a different room of the house. Or maybe one of the other Alexa speakers.

As for the other Amazon device discounts today we're seeing some tempting offers on the likes of the Amazon Echo (the Dot's big brother), the excellent Fire TV streaming stick and the Fire HD 8-inch tablet.

The Echo Dot goes from strength-to-strength with each iteration and this modern 3rd-gen version is the best yet with refined audio that's louder than ever.

If playing music is going to be one of the main uses you're going to have for a smart speaker (voice requesting tunes from Spotify Premium without lifting a finger is so cool) then you may want to consider this version of the Echo family. It's got the same Alexa smarts as the Echo Dot, but the sound output is considerably louder and carries more bass.
