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.

    Works as it is supposed to. Well designed but I wish they would make Alexa smarter. She currently isnt very helpful with questions. Some are obvious and should be easy to answer. Works great to turn on/off lights and to play music on demand, set timers/alarms, etc. Hoping they keep improving it with over the air updates.

    Great piece of tech for the money. Connects to my Hue bulbs to allow for voice control when I am not near my Siri-enabled devices. Hooked to a portable speaker via the headphone aux cable and produces great sound. iHeart radio offers free access to my local FM channels, so this is a good option when not near a receiver.

    Love this Echo purchase! Speaker is sufficient enough for use in one room; however, if listening to music in another room I would add an additional Bluetooth speaker for better sound . Overall a great gift for the holiday.

    Got this as a gift and didn't see the need but it has been a fun thing to have. My daughter loves asking Alexa questions and I've used it to play music, which is very handy. Fun gadget to have and the price is reasonable.

    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!

    This is my third Echo Dot. They are easy to setup and work well. I have integrated several home automation systems with the Echo Dot,a Sonos system for music and Lutron lighting control. Everything works well.

    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 now have 3 of these scattered around the house. I enjoy them with logitech hubs and wemo light switches. I've hooked them into a stereo system and mounted one in a Mokcoa portable speaker. Highly recommended
