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.

    Got this for my mom who sometimes has trouble with electronics. She has a lot of fun asking it to play music and provide answers, along with giving weather details.

    This was a gift for my teenage daughter and has been a great item for her (and the rest of the family). Useful and fun, I foresee more Echo Dots being purchased for our home.

    Very discrete and works on its own for the for the standard voice stuff just like the Echo. Good choice if you are going to pair with an existing Bluetooth speaker for music.

    My wife and I use it everyday from setting the alarm, setting timers, music, setting the thermostat and just asking her questions. I currently have the dot and the full echo.

    Works as advertised, it's great for me in the mornings when waking up to be able to use Alexa to give me the weather report or ask if the Russians really hacked the election.

    I like the Echo Dot. It does lose the network connection periodically. Sometimes when Alexa does not know an answer, it will just not say anything. I would prefer she say she doesn’t know or can’t answer that. Overall, it has a great little speaker.

    I got the DOT for my 104 year old mother, mostly to remind her to take medication and to allow some on demand news. My mother is far from technically literate but has had no real problems in using the DOT. The DOT just works with a minimum of fuss.

    We use this for our alarm clock, weather reports, and quick news flashes. It has much more potential, but for the 30 bucks we paid for it it is definitely worth it.
