Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the Echo Dot (2nd generation)'s ease of use, sound quality, and small size, frequently praising its affordability and Bluetooth connectivity. While some users found the setup a bit challenging and noted occasional issues with Alexa's responsiveness or volume, the positive feedback on its core features outweighs these concerns. Many appreciate its use as an alarm clock and its integration with smart home devices.

    The Echo Dot is a less expensive item to purchase to see if you would like this smart home feature. If you find that you use this product frequently, you can invest in some of the more expensive features such as light bulbs or the bigger Echo.

    The DOT is very informational and fun!! Ask it just about anything, and it gives you an answer. It was a hit during the NYGiants playoff game party we had at our house!!

    The Dot is pretty fair value. I placed it in the kitchen and use it most often as a cooking timer and for iHeart radio. You really can't go wrong for the price.

    Alexa is fun for like 3 days, until the novelty of yelling the same thing over and over and slower and slower wears off. If you use it with Philips hue like I planned, you find that Apple home works much better. She's great at buying stuff from Amazon just by talking to her, but sometimes she will hear her name from the TV and just start talking, kinda annoying and slightly startling. The best use I found was as a timer for cooking. Just saying "alexa set timer for 35 minutes " is super easy. Although for $50 I can just use the one on the microwave above the stove.

    To be honest I don’t know anything about the dot. It’s in a drawer. I bought it for a Christmas gift. The person it was bought for did not show up on Christmas.

    The Echo dot is the best all around device that replaces many household items. 1 - Stereo with personalized playlists, 2 - Alarm clock, 3 - Timer, 4 - Game library, 5 - Smart Home Adapter. What else can do all these things for less than $40.

    Alexa gives the family plenty of info and enjoyment with her search and music features. We have yet to use her smart home connections but plan to in the future.

    Purchased for a gift last year and person says it is good. I don't have any personal knowledge as to the product. Teenage boy says it is good. With that being said, I did purchase one for my granddaughter this year for Christmas.

    I bought this to have the Alexa experience. It's fun to to question and answer. Speaker is too small to hear quality music playback, podcasts sound OK. You can hook up external an external sound system if you already have one.
