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.

    Don't need the Amazon echo to use the Dot.

    Works as well as the Amazon Echo (I have one, and felt a need to have a second unit on another floor if our house.). Only trade off, is sound quality. But, overall, the Dot responds as quickly, and performs as well as the Echo. Am contemplating a 2nd Dot for the 3rd floor of our home!

    The echo dot is not quite as versatile as the echo, but it does work wonderfully for my youngest son. He uses it in his room for a speaker and the set up was very simple. The voice recognition is a little trying at times, but that is to be expected. We have definitely enjoyed the product.

    We bought this for our son, and he loves it. We bought a white one for our daughter. Works great in their rooms. We were told the speaker wasn’t great, but it is perfect for their room.

    Have had lots of fun with this little dot. Having it connected with Amazon Music I am able to just say "Alexa, play...." I've been thinking up lots of my favorite songs for her to play.

    I have an Echo at home and we use it for a lot of different conveniences. I got the Dot for the office. I'm using it to keep my calendar and to do lists updated. It's quick and helpful.

    It's a good device to have around - very handy for finding information, playing music, adding things to your shopping list and many other things. The only slight drawback is the audio quality. It's ok, but not great. If that's your primary purpose, I'd suggest you buy the larger Echo.

    The Amazon platform for the Echo and related available skills are great for home automation. I use the Echo to control my thermostat, HUE lights, Garage door opener along with on-line searches.

    The Amazon - Echo dot is a good product for children to start with. It helps challenge them, and opens the door to the acquisition of basic skills needed to navigate computer based products. It is also a good learning tool.

    Works better than expected. I had to buy multiple echos for every room in the house. Amazon has their books in me now. Controls my light bulbs and TV. This one sits right behind my tv.
