Is the Echo Dot with Clock still worth it?

Yes — it’s still worth it if you can get the Echo Dot with Clock for about $35–$55 used/refurbished, or about $45–$70 new on sale. At those prices, the LED clock makes it a genuinely nicer bedside or desk Alexa device than the regular Echo Dot. If it’s much more than the non-clock Dot, the clock version stops being a great value.

Typical pricing guide:

• Echo Dot with Clock (5th Gen): about $45–$70 new on sale; $30–$50 used/refurb
• Regular Echo Dot (5th Gen): about $25–$45 new on sale; $20–$35 used/refurb
• Larger Echo speaker: about $60–$120 new depending on model; $40–$90 used/refurb

What to pay:

• If the clock model is only $10–$20 more than the regular Dot, it’s a reasonable buy.
• If it’s $25+ more, I’d usually skip the clock version unless you really want the display.
• For a bedside table, kitchen counter, or desk, the clock display is the main selling point.

Caveat: prices move around a lot, so check sold/completed listings before buying.

Quick verdict: worth it on sale; less compelling at full price unless you specifically want the built-in clock.
