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.

    What a great time saver!! Don't have to go online or even turn radio on to check weather in morning. Just ask Alexa and almost instantly she will tell you. Very easy to hook up to your wifi network. Spotify account? No problem there either. Alexa is polite at telling you she doesn't know the answer which at times seems like a lot but I'm sure will get better with time. Great device.

    I bought three, one for each child and one for my garage. They work great and are perfect for their needs. It wakes them up in the morning, plays their favorite music on Pandora or Spotify, and answers any questions they might have about anything. Worth the investment! One Recommendation, set up for more choices of names besides, Amazon, Alexa, Echo and Computer.

    Took a chance and bought one since we are now trying to control more things with smart products. I also bought some TP-Link outlets so that my wife doesn't have to get out of bed to turn off the light after our daughter's story time. It's really motivated me to get other smart products such as the Philips hue bulbs and motion sensors. I ended up buying another 3 more of them to place them all over the house. Functioning as a bluetooth speaker they aren't too shabby. They aren't going to blow out windows but if you're looking for ambient music then it does the job. Voice recognition is right on par with with the larger Echo. The downside is that the Echo isn't as smooth with recognizing natural speech as the Google Home so therefore your commands have to be very specific. However the one upside with any echo product is that they have bluetooth capability to stream music from another device which Google Home can't do.

    Fantastic little device. Great price and easy to configure. Only drawback is that you get accustomed to it being around (connected to bluetooth speaker, Wifi smart plugs, Pandora) and you feel like an idiot when you go somewhere else that doesn't have it.
