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.

    Voice Control that Works!

    This is my 3rd Dot in addition to the one Echo I have. The Echo has a better speaker and works nicely in my living room for playing music. In other rooms the Dot is more than enough. The music doesn't sound as good, but it is equal to a clock radio or better. I use one in my bedroom, bathroom and sunroom to control lights and play Pandora if I just want some softer background music. If you want loud, full sound spend the extra on the Echo full size. If you aren't sure you will use a device like this, get the Dot. It's an inexpensive way to give it a try before investing more money.

    I have the full size echo and the dot for some reason doesn't responds as good as the echo. Not good for listening to music. Very tinny sound. Ok if you need it to run other items in your house.

    I setup home automation for a living and this device works great for voice command. Speaker quality however for music is not the best, so don’t buy if you are going to ask Alexa to play music for you through it. You won’t be happy with the sound.

    I've had this for about a month now and I love it. When I ask it to play music it always picks great stations and I can always favor or dislike them if need be. It's also been great to have in the kitchen as I can ask it how many tbs I need etc. I know it can do a lot more than I use it for so I'll have to continue my research but I do get emails on it's capabilities since they know I bought one.

    I'm a tech junkie and probably spend too much money it. I was lucky enough to get the Amazon Echo when it came out for beta testing years ago. I've been obsessed with it ever since. The dot is the perfect addition to the bedroom. Okra bout great for music but is just fine for ambient sounds when you're going to sleep. She controls the nest, our Philips hue lights and soon she'll wrote with my sonos. Yaaas!

    I got this item on sale. Overall, it's a cool little gadget. However, Alexa appears to be very particular about what commands you can use to have it automate smart devices functions in the home.

    We have 3 in each of our kids rooms and the absolutely love them. Whether it's playing kid music (which you can set perimeters on) or playing games. It definitely keeps them entertained. They set their own alarms and even ask what the weather will be like to help them decide what to wear. Couldn't be happier with this purchase. Going to purchase 3 more for our office, media room, and guest room.

    I've mostly just been using this to listen to music while just telling it to play pandora and iheart radio stations. it works pretty well even with the skip feature in pandora. aside from that i really haven't used it much yet but its handy for music when i'm busy working on something or getting around to go away The voice recognition is pretty good and the little speaker is decent for its size.

    The echo is OK but it needs more work with commands. I was really impressed with the dot when I first got it, but after a few weeks I found I could get a lot more information with Googles okay google in asking my question. All we really use the Echo dot for now is music and weather. Like I said it's OK for what it can do for us at the $49.00 price tag. The speakers in the Echo Dot are really good for it's size. for the apps not that great but just good enough to keep it
