Echo Dot with Clock: Amazon's cheap Alexa alarm clock replacement

Amazon has a new twist on its popular cut-price Echo Dot smart speaker, now setting its sights squarely on your beleaguered bedside alarm clock with a new LED display embedded in the side. The Echo Dot with Clock is one of those true Ronseal products - it says what it does on the tin. It is literally the same as the excellent third-generation Echo Dot, but is only available in white and has a white LED display showing the time peeking through the fabric side. It's formally priced at £60 – £10 more than the regular Echo Dot – but is frequently discounted to about half that. You get the same four-way buttons on the top: volume up and down, mute for the microphones and an action button.
