I'm on record as saying the Amazon Echo Dot makes a great addition to your nightstand -- but it's imperfect in two ways.
First, it has no display. Any bedside accessory worth its salt should be able to show you what time it is. Second, it's a pretty weak speaker, which is why I always recommend pairing it with something bigger and better.
Or, you could just buy this: Today only, and while supplies last, Best Buy has the Insignia Voice Smart Bluetooth Speaker with Google Assistant for $69.99 shipped (plus tax). Regular price: $99.99.
