With Prime Day a little more than a week away, we're already seeing so many amazing early deals that it might be tough to find the best of the best. It can be overwhelming to sift through all the early Prime Day deals to find something special and on the cheap. Well, we just found it!

If you pick up only one thing before Prime Day, make it the Echo Dot (third generation), which is on sale for a ridiculous $20, or half off! This is the lowest price of the year on this genius and extremely popular Bluetooth smart home speaker. In fact, it's so popular that it has earned a perfect five-star rating from more than 951,900 reviewers.

And if you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.) But get your paws on one of these fast — this deal won’t last!

Originally priced at $40, the Echo Dot is designed with a small but mighty speaker that can stream tunes from Amazon Music, Spotify, Apple Music, Sirius XM and more. In fact, you can pair your phone to this little guy via Bluetooth, so you can bring your own music to the party.

You can also pair it with another Echo Dot to create amazing stereo sound in your home for less than what it would cost for just one Bluetooth speaker from Bose or Sonos. Meanwhile, the Alexa voice assistant is included, so you can always get the latest news, weather, sports updates and even control other smart home devices with just the sound of your voice.

So cute....but kind of lonely. At this price, why not get this little guy a brother...and yourself some pristine stereo sound? (Photo: Amazon)

“The sound quality is great,” wrote a five-star Amazon reviewer. “I was really surprised by how much sound comes out of this little device.”

Privacy concerns? The Echo Dot is built with multiple layers of protection, like a physical button that turns off its microphone and disconnects it from your home Wi-Fi network.

At just $20 (was $40), the Echo Dot deal is a pre-Prime Day can't-miss — especially if you want to convert your abode into a smart home or you just want to rock out to your favorite tunes in your living room, kitchen or bedroom. And at this low price, you can grab one for each room in the house!

"This has been a game changer for my family. Amazon makes everything so convenient," shared a satisfied Amazon shopper. "...I can use my Alexa for pretty much anything. The sound is great! The options are phenomenal, and the perks of having this just get better and better as technology advances. I also have all my lights connected to it, and I never have to touch the light switch. If I have a question, all I have to do is ask. If I want to listen to an audiobook, she does that too. I'm just very impressed with Amazon and Alexa. It's not only helpful but she is also quite entertaining..."

One more thing: Need to keep the Echo Dot on a wall or hidden underneath a desk? Amazon also has a trusty mount on sale for just $14 (was $17).
