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 echo dot does everything the full sized version does, although the speaker is weak compared to the full size and the microphones are not as sensit--i don't think. But it's super cheap, so it's good as a supplemental smart home controller if you have a smaller room, or pan on pairing it with a good sounding speaker.

    These are great little devices if you want all the functionality of Alexa but don't need the full sound of a full-sized echo. Love that they are constantly adding skills and updating the software!

    I started with one Echo, then another, now, my whole home has a Echo Dot in every room, even my garage. If you have a very strong Wi-Fi Signal as I do in my home, these Echo Dot's work fabulous.

    Love these things, they make note taking and reminders easier. My kids get weather updates and drop in on us in other rooms to find us. We also have trivia nights and use Alexa to settle disputes.

    Bought the dot as well as the Alexa. They pretty much do the same thing Alexa has a few more options. The dot is in the bedroom and is perfect for an alarm clock and music and even to check the weather. Great gift!!

    Like the Echo, it's a great little device. Makes it very easy to get news, weather & internet music. Only down side is not being able to play music from my home computer, or being able to add ring/alarm tones for notifications. Would love to see those abilities added without having to buy web storage or subscriptions.

    Very easy set up. Alexa is able to help with everyday tasks just like an assistant. Gives reminders, sets timers, provides weather and answers any question so you don’t have to google anything yourself.

    I bought one to use with my nest & hue smart home systems and I love it. There was a slight learning curve but now it works wonderfully. It worked so well I bought one for each of my adult family members for their homes.
