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.

    Good if you know how to download the Alexa apps and understand what each one is for so you don’t get the wrong ones that tie up your phone. The glarity that she understands with is great. I almost never repeat myself. Just gets the apps you need. Check reviews for the app, it helps

    This was bought as a gift for my 16 year old daughter and she loves having it in her bedroom. The sound quality is perfect for her space and she has said only positive things about how well it works for her.

    Set up is easy. Download smart phone apps and follow instruction step by step. My favorite with Echo dot feature is "flash briefing". I can catch up all the crazy things happening in the world at breakfast!

    The echo dot does exactly what it's supposed to, and it's the cheapest and best virtual assistant on the market. Better than the Google Home or Full size Echo because you can use your own speakers with it.

    Still learning how this works in conjunction with the Echo, but as a speaker it works great and you can use it to search the web and read to you, provided you have Amazon books account and play music from Amazon music, again provided you have an Amazon account and have created another playlist.

    Alexa is amazing. I have connected my TV with alexa and now I just have to give command and it does the action. One thing you have to ave amazon prime subscription or just amazon music subscription.

    Easy to setup and use. Alexa is far better than any other voice recognition out there. Seven mics let Alexa pick up my voice even from the living area amid all the noise we had during the Buckeye vs *ichigan game.

    Set up is very straight forward and easy. The Echo Dot works with lots of smart home products on the market. I found the device very useful in my daily activities, a good companion no doubt.

    Got this for free with a Ring purchase. It was fun to use at first but gets less use now. I like being able to connect to the kids in their rooms or send out messages to the all at once. When they ignore phone calls you can drop in to see what is going on while you are gone.

    I use my echo dot everyday. I only have 2. I plan to buy one for every room. I use it to tell the weather, set my alarm, ask questions about who is and what is. My favorite feature is using my alexa app to connect with my echo at home. I can make “announcements” to my kids at home via the echo through a text or I can use “drop in” and listen and speak to them like an intercom. Those are my 2 favorite features. I can also use it to tell my children stories (the stories are limited unless you purchase some but they do have some. Peter Rabbit is the one that usually plays at bedtime for free). I also love using the nature sounds for bedtime as well.

    The echo dot has so many functions to help out at home. It can make a grocery list, order products, play music, games with you. I often use it as a timer when cooking too. So many everyday uses.

    It is great for controlling Alexa devices and you can put it just about anywhere without taking too much space and if you use adapters for usb outlet it looks very futuristic and integrated.

    Can't go wrong for the price of the echo dot. Not the sound quality of the Echo but its not bad. I bought a patch cord and connected my dot to my bose wave radio for improved sound and that works well.

    Extremely user friendly device for my shut in mom. She is afraid of tech, and this device worked out great for her. I set it up for her and she is learning all sorts of operation commands every day. She loves it!

    Everyone in the house loves the echo dot. The kids are always asking Alexa for jokes and fun facts. I have a semi-smart house and being able to control these smart items through Alexa is so smooth and simple.

    I totally love the item so far. I still haven't had the chance to play around with it since I mainly use it to play music, command the lights to be turned on/off, checking the weather, and checking the traffic.
