Hello Confused, So, as someone who first owned the Echo and recently purchased the Dot for their bedroom, I can tell you a lot about the differences. The first, and most noticeable, is the speaker quality. The Echo has an amazing speaker and when Alexa speaks she sounds almost natural. The Dot does not have a very good speaker which turns her voice into the typical flat A.I. type. This is also an incredible difference if you are looking for speaker quality. That being said, you can hook the Dot up to a speaker system to simply avoid that entire situation. Next would be how well she listens. The Echo works nearly every time I need it to. I find myself yelling at my dot a lot. Recently she has learned to listen a bit better but I still find myself frustrated. The dot also randomly has connectivity issues. I have not experienced this a single time with the Echo, but my dot will randomly just become disconnected. It will by itself reconnect though. I have talked to others who own the dot and this is just a common issue. Overall, the Echo is worth the extra money for functionality reasons. However, both do exactly the same things like making shopping list, setting alarms, timers, fun facts, games, etc. As frustrated as I get with my Dot, it does do what I need it to, I just wish it did it better. Please keep in mind the Geek Squad Two Year Product Replacement. This is newer tech.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Best way I know to answer this is the Echo dot is the top part of the Echo (basically minus the speaker quality). For me and my household the Echo sits in the living room and acts as the main unit. Where as the dots would be more suited to be placed in rooms. Don't get me wrong if you have a nice Bluetooth speaker to connect to the dot it is every bit as powerful as the Echo.
