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 had an Amazon Echo and never thought about getting an Echo Dot. Now that I have it in my home office I don't know why I didn't do it before. I use it to get new briefings, listen music and set alarms and reminders. I have even tried some of Alexa's "skills". Money well spent on a very useful device.

    We already had one and love the convenience of checking on the weather. Love all the questions you can ask and facts that you can find out. Also great when making Christmas cookies and need some Christmas music playing in the background! So we bought another one for our guest area.

    Great value for smart home

    The dot is essential if you have a smart home setup. My main use is with Philips hue and Lifx lights and for 50$ the lights alone are worth it. I also use it to call my phone when I misplace it and set timers/alarms. It works from far away and it responds to the wake word "computer", which is just cool

    The speaker is not very powerful but being able to pair it with Bluetooth is a great feature. The biggest challenge that Amazon has compared to Google is that it does not have the database to draw from. Thus answers are not as through and complete. Though it does have a better way to sync to your Amazon books and music and can also order items from Amazon.

    I brought Echo Dot as a starting point to whole home automation along with Philips Hue Smart lights. I'm 2 days in and I love it, Alexa (asst. on Echo Dot) is fast and accurate even with my New England accent. Setup was easy and it works across all of my Apple Products (iPhone and iPad) without an issue.

    I bought The Echo Dot for my vacation home and it works just like the larger Echo except it's a lot smaller. The speaker still sounds good for such a small device, but not quite as full sounding as the Echo. It's good enough for me, so that I don't plan to connect another speaker to it. Well worth the money.

    Decided to leap into the Alexa realm after much research. Have been an Amazon Prime customer for a couple years. Echo dot and prime are a great match. Don't overwhelm yourself with all the background settings in the beginning. You'll get the hang of it with more usage over time.

    It is great to turn on lights and get music by talking to this "dot". I just wish it could do a little more like erase "cards" and do skill sets from voice commands. I am looking forward to more electronics to support the device too! I've found some light switches and wall switches, but would like to see more talking between the "edge" and the "dot" such as intercom between rooms. It is neat and fun and I would recommend this item.
