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.

    Had no problems linking this Echo to Alexa. Has been working fine. Speakers seem to be clear. I have used it as an alarm clock, and have listened to music. I plan on pairing it with some smart plugs soon.

    The Dot is a great device for home automation. Can control harmony based AV, hue lights and Casetta switches.

    This product is great for a college student like myself that is able to search the web, listen to music, and call friends all without being in front of my phone. I highly recommend this device to everyone.

    The Amazon Echo Dot 2nd generation has good sound. I have these in my bathrooms. Perfect to listen to music while taking a shower. Great way to hear the weather forecast in the morning.

    I bought this for my 93 year old mother in law. so she could easily play the music she likes. My wife set it up and MIL now gets to listen to her favorite music by simply asking for it. The sound quality isn't the greatest but the ease of use for someone who is normally technology averse is great.

    Good but for limited purposes

    Got two of these when they were on sale and even more on sale when you bought two. These are good but I prefer the normal Echo for music. Being larger and having a better audio setup, the Echo works as a standalone speaker much better. This has been good for my daughter's room as she plays but isn't something I would use for myself on a regular basis. That said, I like how easy it pairs with devices. We put one in the living room and it works with the soundbar perfectly. The microphones pick up voices well. The amount of accessories for this is incredible. The ability to limit use using FreeTime is great. Don't buy the kids edition if you already have FreeTime from a kids Fire tablet!

    Been enjoying the Dot - the sound quality definitely could be better, but for the price, is a great product

    Very smart device! Works great alone or with other echo devices. The more smart things you have the more you can do with the echo or echo dot. I bought one and loved it so much that I ended up buying two more!

    The Echo Dot makes answering simple questions and performing everyday tasks super easy. Setting timers, reminders, and checking weather has never been easier. I am going to buy a second in for the bedroom.
