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.

    When discussing what skills are available on Amazon’s Alexa platform, we often find ourselves referring to it as “the house guest” so as not to wake it up. We are really enjoying the Echo Dot.

    It's more of a novelty in our house. I bought it for the alarm clock. It's awesome that it plays Pandora when it goes off instead of an annoying looping sound. We have 3 of them.

    The Echo Dot is amazing. It performs all functions for a very reasonable price. The sound quality is great for music and connection is fast and easy.

    Great little Gadget does almost everything the full-size Echo does but at a fraction of the price. Great if you have an Amazon account. No 5th star because I think Google home probably has more overall ability to integrate with other devices in your home, but there is a price difference for that.

    I am very pleased with my amazon echo. It is very easy to set up and use. I started with the least expensive echo and Alexa has been able to answer my questions and provide the music I enjoy.

    I have the Dot in my office to listen to my favorite sports stations and podcasts during the day. I also use the alarm and add to calender function regularly. I can also call from my unit to my daughter's house with hers. I know I am scratching the surface with the things it can do.

    The Echo Dot Black works great. I also have an Echo Dot white. I have occasionally had them confused. I renamed one of them Echo instead of Alexa and the confusion went away.

    This is going to replace my need to Sirius XM weather reports by far. Mine also provides me a background soundtrack whenever I cook. Haven't really explored getting the other apps (Skills) to apply yet.

    Echo dot may be small, but it's in the same league as Echo. The sound quality isn't quite as good as it's big sister, but does everything just as good. I may just have to get another Dot for the bedroom!

    Unlike the larger Echo, this device doesn't have a very large speaker or a lot of sound. That being said, it has all the functions of its larger sister device. Works well in my bedroom on nightstand.

    My favorite new toy. Was very simple to setup and link to my amazon account. Still working on the settings for linking it to my Logitech Harmony account, will be adding other home automation devices soon.

    Bought this for our kids to use in their space. Sound is not as great as the Echo Plus, but sufficient for their smaller space. Works great! Kids enjoy asking questions and listening to music!

    With Alexa voice control, Echo dot is a must have piece of technology for your smart house. It doesn’t have all the enhance functions like the more expensive models but it does the job.

    My Personal DJ..... Good bye CDs

    I'm in love with this little hunk of plastic. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with this. If I would have enough use for it. Yes, it tell you the weather. Keeps you up to date on what's going on in the world, plus the list of skills I haven't even tapped into yet. But I think my favorite so far, is the music. It's like having my own personal DJ in the house. 99.9% of all the songs I ask Alexa to play she does with no problem. Or I just ask her to play Jazz and I have a whole night of Jazz music for parties. I have another one in the bathroom so I can here the news while I shave, or listen to thousands of radio stations. I think the only things she can't do are the things I haven't learned to ask her.

    We love our Echo Dot 2. It is so much faster than typing our questions using any other device, we love getting quick answers. It is great for requesting songs when you set it yuo with Spotify.

    So I now have an Echo and three dots in the house. Obviously I like them. I can control many lights, outlets, and thermostats now. These things are very cool when you set them all up together!

    I find te Echo Dot to be extremely handy for everyday tasks from a wakeup alarm to kitchen timers etc. Also, being retired, I tend to forget the day/date and she's just a question away! I love her!

    I bought 4 of these at Christmas (39.00 each) score! I reviewed it and pretty much all reviews said it was just like the Echo just not as good of a speaker. True BUT the speaker sounds just fine to me!
