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.

    This is the 3rd Dot that we have purchased. This one was a gift and it was well received. There are some improvements that can be made but it really is nice if you have an Amazon account.

    What I can say? Everything works perfect! Great coordination with smart features (like connectors & ligh bulbs), playing music, provide information (like weather and agenda items) and as entreteinment. Of course you can download a lot of skills and increase the capability of this smart feature

    Functions as great as the Echo, but audio suffers a bit due to its compact size. Still very happy with this though.

    My father, who doesn't work a computer, now has the Internet at his disposal through Alexa. It's fun for an 80+ yo!

    This Dot is great! I paired it with Philips Hue bulbs and can control the lights by voice command. I can get news first thing in the morning just by asking, no need to watch tv. I love listening to my favorite songs without having to search through playlists. I actually ordered another one to have on the other side of the house.

    I have an Echo in every room of my home. Most have screens, but screens aren't always needed. Sometimes I just want voice control of some devices, a quick weather report, or a news update. This Echo Dot is compact, unobtrusive and does all I need.

    Nice Pair with the Echo

    We have the full sized Echo and really like it. Got this to pair with it, and it's a nice accompaniment for another room to help control lights, etc. The sound quality is not nearly as good as the Echo with the larger speaker, but it has all the other smart home qualities and skills. For the price, a great partner to the Echo.

    I wake in the AM, and ask the weather. I had to rely on wife to look at her phone, to tell me the weather. I'm thinking about leaving my wife for Alexa, that's how good she is! Wanted to buy more at Best Buy since it is a good price point for Christmas presents, but not surprised they are sold out. Looking to buy more at $39.

    Amazing Amazon Dot

    This is the 2nd Dot I have purchased for myself and I purchased 6 more for Christmas presents. I also have the Echo and the Tap. As you can tell, I believe in these Amazon products! The Dot works good by itself as a stand alone, but if you want good quality sound you may want to hook up to a speaker so then it will be amazing!

    This is my second echo dot and I love it. Helps with calendar, music , traffic , weather.....etc. You name it and she figures it out. They are also great about adding new features and apps all the time. This is one of those products you didnt know you needed it until you have it! Also on sale for 39.99$ its an even better deal.

    We already have an echo and the dot was a great addition. We have outlets and light bulbs to go along with it. It makes it easy to turn on bedroom lights without having to get up and walk through a dark room, just say”alexa turn on the light”. Would definitely buy again or more for other rooms.

    I bought one and loved it so much I bought another for my office. I use it to play music, set timers, get a quick news brief, notify me of deliveries, and to do multiple other tasks. I love that it connects with my grocery list app (Out of Milk) and my Google calendar. I also bought one for my mom as a Christmas gift.

    Bought for someone who "has everything", and I needed a fun gadget gift. It turns out that he really likes this and finds it useful. He likes having it by the bedside and being able to ask what time it is without having to turn on a light. He claims it's worth it for that alone, but he also like trying to confuse Alexa, LOL.
