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 bought this to add to my growing collection of “Alexas”. It has changed my life as my husband can add to the grocery list from whatever room he is in.

    If you only need an Alexa to control a few things or answer your questions this is a great choice. Also talks with other Alexa’s in the house.

    The DOT is very informational and fun!! Ask it just about anything, and it gives you an answer. It was a hit during the NYGiants playoff game party we had at our house!!

    Alexa is fun for like 3 days, until the novelty of yelling the same thing over and over and slower and slower wears off. If you use it with Philips hue like I planned, you find that Apple home works much better. She's great at buying stuff from Amazon just by talking to her, but sometimes she will hear her name from the TV and just start talking, kinda annoying and slightly startling. The best use I found was as a timer for cooking. Just saying "alexa set timer for 35 minutes " is super easy. Although for $50 I can just use the one on the microwave above the stove.

    If you listen to amazon prime music or smart home devices this is the best and easiest way to control them. Bought one and Christmas and a second a week later.

    Grabbed this during the holidays at $29.99 and was the best money I could spend. Easy setup and entertaining. If you use Amazon's services or just like to use a voice assistant for various tasks, pick one up, try it out and have a little fun!

    Works fine for the alexa features. The music player is ok but not very loud. It does everything it is supposed to.

    After watching what I can do with the Echo Dot on YouTube I went out to Best Buy to pick one up. I'm controlling my home and alarm with voice commands and timed scripts.

    This is my second echo dot. It is nice to have 2 so I can use the synced music and "drop in" features. I have one on each floor of the house. I can play the same music simultaneously on both and I can yell for my kids using "drop in" feature.

    it took a long time for me to buy the fire stick but when it was offered with the Amazon echo I was more then happy to give them a try. So far I have no complaints, they work great together.

    We got this for my daughter. The sounds is definitely not as good as the bigger Alexa. It’s almost worth it to spend the extra $50 for better sound quality.

    Perfect gift. Use it in our bedroom mainly for an alarm clock & checking the weather to get ready for our day. Love that she does all the simple tasks for you.
