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.

    Samsung refrigerator

    New Samsung refrigerator provides lots of space in the refrigerator as well as the freezer. I especially like the wide holders on the inside of the frig and I also have a shelf that slides back and provides room for taller bottles and also provides a whole shelf when needed.

    Originally bought this because it was listed as one of the years hottest Christmas gifts. The recipient set it up immediately and fell so in love they ordered another for a different room.

    Good use out of this for starters. Setup and use is easy. I now have 6 echo dots across my home. As well as 2 echos, fire tv cube, 4 amazon smart plugs and echo show.

    These are great to have in each room of the house (and bathrooms) so you can control the lights and other smart devices when needed without having to purchase the more expensive Echo.

    Alexa is extremely smart and fun to operate. Even my 4 yr old twin g-kids have fun asking her question. The net thing I'll be doing is adding on lights for a smart home and keep expanding.

    I use Alexa all the time now, music, doing searching for places or movies, converting measurements, and using smart things "alexa turn on christmas lights" . I went back and bought 2 more.

    I have not yet used all of the options available to me, but I am enjoying the Echo Dot. Great for a laugh and information. Watch out though. When you or even your television says Alexa (or anything that sounds like Alexa) she turns on and records anything being said. Lol.

    Im not a fan of the privacy track record Amazon has but I was in need of a device that would allow my young children to contact my wife and i in an emergency. This was the lease expensive solution.

    The Echo Dot works very well. As of this writing, the second generation is outdated. The fourth generation is the latest Echo Dot.

    At this price thought this might not give me the speed I was hoping for. I was completely wrong. My speeds quadrupled. If you need a new inexpensive wireless router this is the one.

    Together with Amazon Music Unlimited, its very entertaining to call up whatever music you want to hear. Also, weather, news, and then just fun stuff like jokes or sound effects!

    I really like the 2nd generation echo dots, I use them to run my smart house, at these prices you can’t afford not to buy them. It’s buying two for the price of one.

    got it for 30 bucks on the holiday season deal. very good value for what it does. it's nothing too fancy and won't make a big impact on your every day life, but it's nice to have a convenient little machine that you can ask simple questions and perform simple tasks

    Pretty good at home automation - not much else

    I've been happy with how easy it's been to integrate this with my Samsung Smartthings hub. Turning lights on/off (which is the main reason I got it) works great. However, the Echo is not so good at answering basic questions, like "What time does [a restaurant] close?" More often that not, it cannot answer the question I ask it. It also thinks it's being talked to all the time. They really need to change their trigger word (i.e. - "Alexa") to a trigger phrase (e.g. = "Okay, Google"). I do like the ability to have it play music by asking things like "Play workout music". The speaker is not great, but you can hook it up to your home audio system. I also have this connected to my Harmony remote, and it is minorly useful but mostly a gimmick.
