Amazon has dropped the price of its Echo Dot + Smart Plug bundle to just $39.99 today. The non-sale price for the newest Echo Dot alone is $50 so you're getting it at a $10 discount with Amazon's Smart Plug — worth $25 — thrown in for free.

The latest Echo Dot offers up to 70% better audio quality over its predecessor when listening to music, has a stylish new design, and is available in Charcoal, Heather Gray, and Sandstone options. You can pair two of them together for stereo sound, or connect it via Bluetooth (or 3.5mm cable) directly to another speaker that you prefer. Use it to control your smart thermostat, smart lights, and other smart home gear, have measurements converted, find out the local weather, catch up on news, set timers, and more.

With the Echo Dot you can use your voice to control your included Smart Plug and whatever appliance is connected to it, bringing your dumb devices into your smart home too. The plug can also be controlled remotely when you're away from home and be used to set schedules.

The deal is available on all three colors of Echo Dot right now but this sale won't last forever, so get your order in while you can.
