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 was happy the install was very easy and the integration with my phone access was seamless. The 'skills' available have exploded since my purchase, however, I don't like that I have to activate skills and that I need to remember specific phrases to request the skill I am trying to access.

    If you want a hands free device that has a ton of options and don't want to spend $180 or $130 for the Google device then the dot is for you! You can hook it up to surround sound or a Bluetooth speaker.

    Using this device as and addition to SmartThings system and love it. Speech recognition works pretty well in 9 of 10 times. Small form factor makes it easy to install in unobtrusive way. Tightly connected to AMAZON service and could be used to order items from this retailer using voice commands.

    I love this thing. It gets used all the time in our house. It is so versatile and has so many possible connections. Only thing is, be prepared to spend more money on other things to pair with it.

    I have really enjoyed this product. It does not connect to everything but when it does it is really cool. I don't like the fact that I have to plug it in...which it had batteries.

    At first I thought it would just be a novelty, but as more functions become available it's utility has increased immensely . Finds recipes, gets the weather, traffic alerts before I leave for work, etc.

    I use this product daily. I would like to have more than one but the echos do not connect to each other. Every day I am excited to see what else I can connect the echo to. I enjoy playing music because I am able to change the station with out picking up my phone and completing the task manually.

    I purchased 6 of the Echo Dot's during the Black Friday specials. They were so affordable and I wanted 1 for almost every room in our house. They are so handy and easy to connect.

    So, this is the first "alexa" thing I've owned. I have a few smart home items, but this little thing really ties it all together. Totally worth getting Amazon unlimited to go along with it.

    The sound is good, but not great. The usefulness stays, but the fun wears off pretty soon. It was hard for some reason to get it set up to my phone hotspot...but on wireless it's fairly easy. Definitely not plug and play.

    I’ve put a few of these throughout my home. Alexa has become a part of our every day lives. The Dot is easy to find a spot for pretty much anywhere. Alexa is a very useful smart home device!
