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 Dot is like training wheels for the voice-activated generation. While it is no Siri, it is improving all the time and now, we don't have to do the skills set-up manually. Just ask and Alexi learns the skills. My favorite use is as a music player hooked up to Pandora, Spotify and Amazon Music Unlimited. Crazy good for all times of the day and night.

    i have the echo and i love it and wanted to purchase the DOT's for family and friends for christmas. they all love them but the only downfall is the speaker. while it was expected to be fairly poor, if you want to play music you really need a bluetooth speaker to go along with the DOT. other than the sound, the things are cool and family and friends love them

    The device itself is great. If you are looking for home automation, you will spend a whole lot more money on purchasing wifi devices to connect to Alexa. Just be ready to make the investment if you want to speak to turn on your lights and other stuff.

    I purchased this on a whim and it took a while for me to realize how useful it can be. We use it as a timer, for weather reports, play music, find local movies and more. I have purchased a second dot for our home and one for my son's apartment.

    The Echo Dot (Generation 2) was purchased to be used as an external speaker for a holiday party and worked well. I would recommend this for anyone needing an external speaker with a simple setup as well as a digital assistant.

    Nice to get such an innovative product and ecosystem that works so well. I look forward to seeing its new advancements each week. There are few products I enjoy using and can recommend so highly. In addition It's been a godsend for my elderly mother.
