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 think it will be very good, but still trying to learn the system and work with it.

    Been using this for 8 months now and this was my second order for another room. Best purchase i ever made for my home. Integration with every 3rd party device is great and has incredible capabilities. Just wish it would work with Google and then it would be perfect.

    I am an original Amazon Echo owner, and I wanted to be able to listen to news and music upstairs. I bought the Dot and I am so glad I did. Even though the Dot has a smaller, less responsive speaker, I paired it to my speaker upstairs. Now I can talk to Alexa throughout the house!

    Low profile, small foot print but all the power behind Amazon Alexa, I can control my Nest, lights, security and many other things using this little gadget, the intercom system works great and can communicate with other dots around the house. A must have for Smart Homes.

    “Drop In” with the Echo Dot

    The Echo Dot Generation 2 is a wise and cost-efficient purchase to provide household communication from one room to another. Using the “drop in” feature, one is able to have conversations with family members in other parts of the house.

    I'm a big fan of the Amazon Echo Dot. I usually ask it to set alarms for me and tell me the weather. I can get a brief news update and control the lights in my house. I've got it synced up with my Harmony Hub and so I can also control my television and other smart home devices.

    I was an early adopter of the Amazon Alexa based system, and have been impressed. I have several devices, a combination of one echo and several echo dots. The Second Generation Dot, although visibly cheaper made than the first, is an amazing smart device. You will be pleased.

    Finding there is so much one can ask of Alexia, that I am just a novice. However enjoy the weather report and the early morning concerts. She is especially nice to have in the kitchen, it is much easier for her to set a timer. The only problem I found was hooking it to the WiFi, the instruction were not very complete, but Granddaughter gives very good direction, making it very easy.
