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.

    Amazon really has made a fun little thing here for a great price. I just wish Alexa had more answers. google has it all over Amazon on that. Hopefully that'll change.

    I enjoy this little thing. Ask it to play music, its on it. I ask it to give me a recipe or some fact on anything and she's got the amswer....most times. I really like the skills feature. I say good morning and a slew of different things happen. Its fun.

    This is a great device that you will wonder how you got on without after getting used to it just like a smart phone or email. The bigger device has better speakers so if you listen to a lot music get that as this also works as a bluetooth speaker otherwise this will do.

    We love Alexa. I purchased it with the information that it will eventually control my Sonos speakers. Still waiting on that. Hopefully the update will come soon. But it's still a fun product.

    Easy to set up and use. If you wait until this stuff is perfected, you'll never pull the trigger. Plus, this is just $50, so nice low price point for dipping your toes into the IoT water.

    We love the Echo dot. My son has trouble sleeping so we got him one to use like a sound machine. Plus I can monitor his TV time even closer with the the smart plug and Alexa app.

    Does what it says on the box, although a higher quality speaker would be nice. Picks up voice often from down the hall better than the 1st generation Echo in the same room! Alexa is still the widest ecosystem, too... Google is going big but it may already be too late.

    We loved the Echo so much that we bought two of the Dots for other rooms in the house. Not a perfect science but it works 99 percent of the time and we just have fun with them all.

    This is the second echo dot purchased for my parents’ home. It makes life so much easier for them, to just ask Alexa to operate lights, make calls, or set reminders.

    Im a huge techie and when the amazon echo first released i jumped to get one! now this is an inexpensive alternative to make every room in my house alexa capable.$40 for the dot and then $179 for the full echo so it save $140. i do wish the speaker was louder and a bit more clear.

    I enjoy using the Echo Dot for listening to music, podcasts, and news. The speaker is fairly good for the size. Sometimes Alexa doesn't understand simple requests, and I give up on a request after a few different ways phrasing the command. Overall, I enjoy the Dot.
