Q: What is the difference between the Dot and the Echo?
A: The echo has a fairly good speaker built in suitable for listening to music - given its size. The dot has a small utility speaker and is designed for providing responses to your questions/commands. The dot is designed to be hooked up to external speakers via Bluetooth or rca type adaptor. The dot is very small relative to the Echo.
Q: When I go to bed at night, do I power off my echo dot 2?
A: Nope. They are intended to stay plugged in and always on. They don't use hardly any electricity when not actively in use, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. I personally leave an echo plus and 2 dots plugged in at all times.
A: The first generation is no longer for sale and was never offered outside of Amazon. Any version you see of the Dot that is new will be the second generation.
A: No apps are needed to be purchased with the Echo product line..... you just download them from the Alexa app- all are free!
A: It is always listening 24/7 for that keyword " Alexa" . The only way to power it off is to unplug. If you are paranoid about it listening to everything, there is a mute button on top that you can hit and the lighted ring around the top will turn red and it will not hear anything no matter how many times you say " Alexa".
Q: Is the dot a speaker also where it plays music in the room it is located?
A: Yes, but the speaker functionality is not as good as the full size Echo. I would rate it more like a clock radio speaker. It is fine for a bedroom or kitchen, but I have Echos in my livingroom and dining room so I can enjoy music with better quality. You can hook the Dot into an existing sound system via wire or Bluetooth, whereas the Echo does not have a line out option.
Q: Does this use data on your wireless plan?
A: No. The Amazon Echo Dot connects to your home wireless network and uses this to connect to the internet as opposed to a wireless data plan (phone connection).
Q: will ALEXA works in the caribbean
A: Will the Alexa Show 10 work on the island of Dominica in the Caribbean?
