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 is a good product, but the voice recognition sometimes doesn't quite work. But this is consistent with voice recogniton products. Overall, I'd say techies would like it and saves time since its assists.

    I told her that I didn't want her to get bored and that Alexa would keep her company! She laughed, thought Alexa was stupid, and I was crazy! Guess who's having fun with Alexa? I'm the favorite child now!

    My wife a and I have enjoyed learning to use this device very much. I guess we are a bit disappointed it can not control more than one remote speaker at a time.But Amazon said they may change that in the future

    We have so much fun with the games, music and such. The kids love getting jokes. I play Jeopardy and get my sports updates. The wife likes the way she can ask for music. I'm very happy with this purchase.

    It's astonishing how accurate Alexa is at understanding your commands. It also works well with the Smarthome Insteon products. I'm very pleased with it and may buy another to have in a different part of my home.

    I have already purchased one for myself and for Christmas ordered 2 more for gifts. I was concerned about the volume of the speaker when i bought my first one but it is plenty powerful to fill a room with sound.

    I was so tired of the radio at work losing signal everytime I would walk past it, so I decided to see what the hype was about with Alexa. I wish I would have found her sooner. I think she is my new best friend!

    I purchased this product to see what Alexa had to offer. Being an Amazon prime member, I was pleasantly surprised. The voice commands are much better than competitors. I've attached the Eco Dot to an old Bose speaker and it works great! For the price, its a great product to purchase and play with it.

    I got this for my brother-in-law for Christmas. He is fairly tech savy and we thought he might find it neat. The deal around christmas for $30 seemed pretty reasonable. I've seen him use it a couple times. I think he likes the function to dim the lights with the special light bulbs the best.

    Bought the Echo Dot for a bedroom. Works great! Already have an Amazon Echo in the living room and another one in the basement. Highly recommend the Echo Dot for smaller rooms, such as a bedroom or office.

    The Smart plug is a life saver, when walking into a dark room without having to stub your toe by controlling the lights is amazing. I love having Alexa I wish I had more things connected to her.

    Speaker is not good. I have it linked to an external speaker to help with that. Mics hear very well, better than Google Home. I like the routines for controlling smart home products. Mostly I use it for SiriusXM streaming in the house.
