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.

    The Echo Dot is nice for things like weather and sports scores. I don't have Amazon Prime so I can't ask it to play specific songs so that was really a minus for me. It also gets a little cumbersome having to ask to open a skill for a specific category. It's ok overall, I guess it just wasn't exactly what I thought it would be.

    So far I really love it for the kitchen where I can add to the shopping list, I used to use paper but I always seem to forget to take it with me, If Im cooking and dont run out of a item I can add it to the list and its always on my smart phone. I am adding light control next..

    I use the dot with my Sonos speaker system.It was easy to set up. I can ask the dot to turn on the music in different rooms of the house. I also have a Sonos 1 speaker with Alexa in another room. I can use the Sonos 1 speaker with Alexa to increase or lower the volume, but cannot change volume with the dot. Dot cost much less than the Sonos speaker.

    Great for music listening. Alexa still has issues understanding what I’m saying though, and it can get frustrating.

    It can do everything the original echo can do, except it doesnt have the volume capacity as the original. I would recommend getting the original first, and getting this as a companion/extension to the original. Its definitely worth every penny and they work together, which is great.

    I bought this for a friend who is hard of hearing and needed a voice recognition unit that would do more than ply sound. She is now able to set her med reminders easily and the unit is loud enough to wake her if she is napping. The sound quality is acceptable but as Amazon said it was designed to be connected to external speakers while providing all the features of the Echo at a third of the price.

    Love this. $3.99 for Amazon unlimited music, linked my SiriusXM, Pandora, IHeartRadio, and Tune In accounts. Lots of useful apps after weeding through the not so useful ones. I've got my bedroom lamps and tv hooked to Wemo plugs to be controlled by Alexa. Great buy for $50.
