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 little thing actually does a lot- and it is louder than I expected. I got myself this for Christmas - after buying 4 others for family Christmas gifts I decided I wanted one for myself. I just need to figure out how to add skills and make her (Alexa) a little more useful. But I enjoy the Echo dot.

    We have the Echo and I really like it. We keep it in the den/kitchen area and use it for music and operating the lamps. We got the dot for the bedroom and love it as well. It is nice to tell the lamp to go on and off!

    Everything that Echo does in a smaller package. Great for a bedroom or office where you don't need volume. The volume is great in a small space. Kind of whimpy in a large room. All in all you can't beat it for the price.

    I set it up and gotta say it was way too simple setting up. Constantly downloading Skills. My wife and I are addicted! Bought the battery sold on Amazon and now not tethered. Goes with us from room to room. And outside.

    I was think I already have a voice assistance on my phone but the echo dot really masters catching your voice and providing you enough information. It seem gimmicky but have using it for over a week or so I find it a great resource of information you need on the go or quickly as you make decisions. Overall great product!

    I purchased this for my husband. We both were surprised at the quality of the sound, especially for music. It is such a treat to ask Alexa a simple command & receive a quick clever answer. I highly recommend the echo.

    Love the dot. I ask her questions, I listen to all of my music daily.. I can ask for 1 specific group or a year of oldies.. My mother in law asks for the 1940's and she sings along with the tunes.. We are buying her one.
