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.

    I love my Echo Dot. I can listen to music, get news updates, even control my entertainment system through my Harmony hub. I can also leave messages for friends and family who have Echo too. Excellent device.

    This was purchased as a gift. Based on my prior experience with my other Dot, I know the person receiving this will absolutely love it. Easy to learn commands makes this device very useful!

    I already have an Amazon Echo in my living room but I thought my bedroom would benefit from the Echo Dot. Both devices work better than I expected. The only difference is that the dot has a less dynamic speaker so I connected my Bose B/T speaker to it. I now use the dot as my primary alarm and music streamer.

    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.

    Great Intro to Smart Home

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Short version: this is a great option to test the waters of smart assistants in the home without breaking the budget. I read countless reviews before buying the Echo Dot and had my own preconceptions about it. I figured it'd be a fun gadget to link with my Sensi connected thermostat and control my music. It does everything as advertised with a relatively simple setup. What I didn't expect was that my girlfriend would take to using it for kitchen timers, audiobooks, buy me a smart light, and end up using it more than I do. Audio quality sounds ok, but it pairs with my Bluetooth home theater system for serious listening. If you don't have a Bluetooth sound system, you might want to consider the full sized Echo that sounds MUCH better.

    Love this. Makes it easy to turn on lights and play your favorite music. Sometime you have to say it two to three times before it recognizes you.

    I first saw the Amazon Echo Dot at a relative's house, and loved the whole notion of a personal assistant. Alexa is friendly, knowledgeable, and there when I need information from her. All at a great price point!

    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.

    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.
