Amazon shoppers 'ditch' Echo Dots for 'better' £38 Echo Spot speakers worth £80

It might sound counter-intuitive, but if you struggle with getting up in the mornings it may be worth investing in a dedicated alarm clock.

The Echo Spot features voice-activated controls which can be used to control other smart elements in the home - such as a Philips Hue bulb - and it’s got a built-in speaker to play the radio, Spotify, and much more.
