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.

    Love the Echo! It sounds great and is easy to use! It can hear you from across the room and can control a lot of devices if you have the right connection. Great product!

    Easy set up. I enjoy being able to control my lights from any room in the house. I use the weather info every day. Other info is available with just the asking. There have been a couple of glitches in the operation of a request but for the most part works really well.

    I bought both an echo and a dot. The sound quality is better then I expected on the dot and the size is awesome. I think any future additions will be dots. Alexa is a lot of fun.

    This is the smallest and least expensive version of the Echo and is the only version with dedicated audio out via 3.5mm connector for traditional stereo gear or a powered speaker. It also has the colored ring, which is Ůber cool. The Dot via 3.5mm is good for maintaining quality if your streaming losslessly compressed content. I noticed most streaming services overly compress the music, Amazon included, and Bluetooth connections lose quality as well; that is rectified in the next version of Bluetooth from what i understand. Built-in speaker is just okay for music, but just fine for calls or talking to Alexa; highly recommended.

    Great product and same features as the Echo but a fraction of the price. Pairs and works great with my Bluetooth soundbar which makes it provide better sound than the Echo. Love it.

    Had some friends to stay who owned one and bought one for me as a gift. Had great fun using it and getting to know how it worked. Bought one for my sister and then another for my brother as Christmas gifts. Smart plug very handy as well, for lamp and currently Christmas tree!

    You can ask Alexa just about anything and set her up to check items for you. My kids also enjoy talking to Alexa. My 5th grader uses the timer to practice her trumpet. She'll say Alexa set a timer for 20 minutes and then in 20 minutes the alarm goes off. You can ask her the temperature, time, and on and on. We also have her setup to turn some of our light switches on/off. Alexa turn off the Christmas Tree and she does. We really like this device. Pretty Cool but make sure you are responsible to not setup things your kids could get into and do or purchase. I have heard tales about that. We use Alexa for informational purposes. Not to purchase.

    The amazon echo dot is pretty cool. You can ask Alexa to do a wide variety of things. The only downside, in my opinion, is that the unit has to stay plugged in while you're using it
