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.

    Great gadget for the price but annoying sometimes once you figure out how set it up!

    At times it is unreliable but for the most part it behaves as described. I have to speak the exact keywords. Which, I guess is to be expected at this juncture in tech. My Apple HomePod is a little more forgiving but doesn’t control as many smart devices at this time. I would say that I am happy and satisfied with the Dot. I went and ordered a second one for a family member in the household.

    I was given an Amazon-Echo Dot as a gift and I was hesitant to set it up. Afrter I finally set it up I bought a few extras and had to by this Echo Dot so I now have one in the livingroom and bedroom and can control things in both rooms. Just love it. I even bought one for my son as a gift.

    Better Than Google Home

    The Alexa Echo Dot is so much more intuitive than the Google Home. It doesn't just web search like the Home does. Once I get more familiar with the many commands it can do, I'll be able to use it more often. For now, it's weather, traffic, jokes and recipes that I've used it for.

    My friend had gotten an echo dot and I wasn't so sure about it. But I did and am glad I did. But the caveat is to get the Amazon music service for $4 A month too. My grandkids love asking Alexa questions (me too) and I use her for the music service plus I heart radio. A great buy at 50 bucks.

    The Echo Dot is just as functional as our full sized Echo, but the speaker is not nearly as good on the Dot. We use it upstairs to control our Samsung SmartThings from our bedroom. The larger Echo is downstairs in the main living area where we can control SmartThings as well as listen to music. A great companion to your existing full size Echo, specially if you find on sale (we paid $29 USD).

    Alexa sits between us in the living room and has become a member of the family. I especially like to listen to music while writing and always enjoy what the Dot finds for me. We have enabled many of her apps. It's very easy to use and very versatile. I can't wait to get one for the bedroom!
