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.

    Small enough to sit on the bedside table and works very well. You can't beat the price for the things Alexa can do.

    Had been looking at the reviews for the Amazon Echo but wasn't crazy about the price. Along came the Dot which does everything the Echo does at a much lower cost. I did try both versions at my local Best Buy and there is a huge difference in the sound but the Dot can hook up to your bluetooth speaker which fixes the sound issue. Very happy with my Dot.

    AMAZON ECHO DOT - Great Start to automation

    The ECHO DOT is a great product! I now have three of them located throughout the house and will most likely add two more. I use this with the logitech hub to control my stereo, TV, and blueray/dvd. It also controls my WEMO lights and I can adjust my thermostat with it. My wife, even uses it more than I do and she was somewhat opposed to it in the beginning. It will tell you the news, weather, a joke, read books, play music and even tell you good night! I love this thing!

    We purchased the Echo Dot after our son asked for the Amazon Echo for Christmas. Got to keep up with the kids you know! I find it a fun gadget to have. I love the fact that I only have to give a command and I am able to work out, hear music, jokes, weather, daily stock market and even a compliment when needed. The one problem is, you have to remember those commands. Skills will only work when enabled to Alexa via the Amazon Alexa app. Alexa works through your home WiFi.

    I purchased two Amazon Echo Dots for my home. I've used it to control my Hue Lights and my Harmony Hub. I couldn't be happier. The skills that you can add to it and IFTTT integration let you do almost anything. It is able to understand both myself and my wife and have had no issues with it missing a word. Some things, like the Twitter skill, need work but it is fun to try everything it has to offer. You will need to download their app on your smartphone to help with setup.

    Its hard to go anywhere nowadays without hearing about "Alexa", Amazon's handy tool that does almost anything you could think of right out of its Echo devices....the Dot being the smallest option and for the price its a great option to have around the house. I bought this for my mom along with an additional Bluetooth speaker (because the speaker on the dot is not that loud and she wanted to listen to music) and also purchased an additional Smart switch so that she could use the Dot to turn on her light with her voice and it works great. It seems like every day Alexa gets more and more options of functionality which really helps future proof it. Great device
