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.

    They are adding more functions like game buttons. All in all this is a good product. Needs to keep up to date with google home but still good.

    Bought two as kids Christmas present. Still enjoying them today. Easy plug-and-play simplicity. Good sound quality for everyday listening and headlines. Kids love the voice-activation feature. A little trouble finding exactly what you are looking for (e.g., English Premier league Football scores). Dot picks up voices well even from across the room without shouting. Good price.

    I have the Echo and just recently purchased the dot. It comes in handy and works with my security system to turn lights on and off. It can play my music and is a good speaker for its size.There's a lot of other things the Dot can do in the Alexa app. Setup is easy.

    I didn't believe I would use the echo as much as I have. Our whole family uses it. We use it to ask the temp or set a timer. Primarily we ask it to play music. The little speaker is ok for background music but we connect through Bluetooth to our main speakers. Easy.

    I have a few of these placed all over my house. I prefer the Dot over the Echo. It seems to blend in better with it's smaller profile. There are so many possibilities with this thing and I keep finding more uses for it. I stocked up on these when they were on sale.

    Love these but just upgraded to echo 8 for better sound. Remember these or the flex can connect to any Bluetooth speaker for more sound. Perfect for garage or anywhere u dont need the echo screens.

    This gadget is innovative!! If you connect your online music account with Alexa, you'll never go back to listening to a regular radio station again! I love having an ever changing play list and all you have to do is speak to it! How much easier can it get?

    For the price, it's great. However, compared to the regular Echo, it doesn't stack up at all. The sound quality is considerably lower, and you have to speak up quite a bit louder to get the Echo Dot to hear and understand you - especially if it's already playing music or otherwise in use. I purchased it for use in the bedroom to listen to music, and to use as an alarm clock. It can be quite disturbing to anyone else in the room to hear you yelling "Alexa! Stop!" at 4:45 in the morning, in an attempt to stop the alarm clock from sounding.

    I have this version and the new 3rd gen dot. If you are going to pair this with a BT speaker for music you are fine. Music straight from the device is not so good. All other features work great - it picks up my voice from two rooms away.

    I have enjoyed using the Alexa Dot. It's easy to set up and I love the interaction and hands free ability to use when you are busy. I especially enjoy playing music on demand when I don't want to stop and grab my phone. I would highly recommend this product!
