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 used it to turn on lights, play music, check my orders, make shopping list, tell time, set reminders and calendar events, check store hours. Wish it could stream music straight from my pc instead of through a pay service. Can only play 250 songs for free. If they ever fix that one thing I'll just like it even more. Got this when it was on sale for $40 and I had $25 in rewards so only cost me $15. It's well worth the $50 but I will wait for the next sale to buy another for upstairs.

    I love this product, in fact, I purchased another one for my bedroom. It integrates well with my Wink Hub Smart Home Devices and makes controlling my house so easy. Easy setup, and configuration.

    The Echo works as a pair with our Bose Sound Touch. So far it seems to work seamlessly. Will be purchasing more as gifts.

    Play music through it, check the weather, get news updates. I don’t purchase anything from amazon through Alexa. Fun to have, I would recommend it but only if you’re paying a sale price

    I purchase the echo dot because I got the Lifx light bub to work together and I love it makes switching lights On/Off easier in some situations. Planning to add more tech to go with the echo.

    Takes some time to get use to verbiage. But once you get the hang of things Alexa becomes your new friend for a plethora of questions from converting tablespoons to teaspoons to weather.
