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 have the tall unit and bought this smaller one for the bedroom. Works just as well.

    I have to say both my wife and I love the Dot- we now own two. It is brilliant for connecting to bluetooth speakers and playing music. It is also very good for things like the weather.... and you can add 'skills' (similar to apps on a smart phone), but this is where it falls down in my opinion. You have to remember for each 'skill' you add, how to ask Alexa. These often have to be done in a very specific way, using the name of the 'skill' and quite frankly it is a nightmare trying to remember them all. You also get varying results from these 'skills' (but there is a list of top rated and most of those are good/do work). I wish it would answer questions like google's version

    Boy what a difference in sound from the Gen 3. Gen 2 not near as good for music. But i use this one for questions and an alarm in my bedroom and it is perfectly fine for that.

    Love this product. It can find any music you ask for the only down side is you have subscribe to a music program to get the full benefit. I enjoy asking random questions. Also use it as an alarm.

    This a great because of size, and small power consumption. We love our Amazon echo so this was a nice addition. I just wish it had the same Wi Fi network hardware as the Echo

    I like that this seems to hear me better than my Echo, but the speaker quality is much less than that of the Echo. We have this paired with a bluetooth speaker for when we want it to play music.

    We love the echo for music if you have Amazon Prime. Just ask her to play a song, artist, or even genre and she does. We also love using her for timers, reminders, and to create grocery lists.

    It’s a really easy to install assistant and was well worth the 29.99! Only problem I see is the issues amazon has to resolve with google such as using YouTube with Alexa... simple as that
