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.

    Love this product. It tells you the weather, plays your music and gives you a lot of information you need to know. JUST ASK! Responds so quickly when prompted. Easy to set up and user friendly. Will definitely get 2nd echo dot.

    I'm really impressed by this little gadget. It (she?) Responds promptly and accurately. I can yell from cross the room and I'll get a response. It was simple to set up, and I love that it uses an app and records all of your requests to it for easy look-up. I wish it was battery powered for easier relocation around the house, and there are times where I'll ask a question from point blank range and get no response. When using, make sure the background noise is limited and you're speaking clearly.

    Dot is good but definitely doesn't have the sound of the Echo. Didn't expect it to. It's great for a wake up alarms and other features. And it interfaces with my Echo to play the same music in all rooms.

    This came out before the google home, but they are a lot alike. With the exception of the price. It's small, so it's not an eye sore in a room. Fits nicely on a night stand or end table. Speaker is ok for a single room. I have a smaller home, so it can hear me fairly well. If you are looking to start a smart home on a budget, this is the gadget for you!

    I got this for my wife because she has a fire stick and amazon prime mebership. We keep it in our kitchen, because the family is usually all together in there. Right out of the box the Echo was super simple to set up. I already had Amazon app on my phone and Alexa recognized info from my account. It even asked to use the same wifi and I didnt have to enter our password. My kids connected it to their bluetooth speaker. We cant wait to get other components like lights and thermostat that Alexa can operate for us. Alexa is great at understanding complex questions, even from my three yr old. I plan on buying another for upstairs. This would also be a great gift for anyone of any age. I could see the Echo being a real asset to an elderly person who lives alone and isn't mobile. There aren't many things in life that I can say wow me, but the Echo just makes me feel like my life just got a little easier. The only thing negative I have found is that one of my little guys was trying to get Alexa to tell him about a Pokemon and she asked him if she needed to place an order for it. My wife had bought one on Amazon a while back, so I guess that was the correlation. I found that I could disable the ordering feature. So be careful.

    Smaller version of its big brother the Amazon Echo. Its smaller size makes it more versatile in some ways. It has a small built-in speaker, which is surprisingly good, but easily connects to a Bluetooth speaker for fuller sound. Not bad at all for its size and the big cost savings since most of us already have Bluetooth speakers around. Not bad at all.

    The dot is great for telling you time temperature and weather in answering very direct simple questions but is kind of annoying every time there is a commercial for it and it hears its name and wakes up.

    I have both the Echo and the Echo Dot. If you are connecting to a stereo system this is the one you want. It does everything the big brother does and then some. It can stream to Bluetooth. Big brother can't. Just not are good of sound from internal speaker. It has audio line out jack. Big brother doesn't. Great for the price savings. I also recommend for elderly people who have vision problems. My mother uses it for time, sports scores, weather, news and reading books to her. She loves it.
