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.

    We purchased this a while ago. It is sitting in an alarm clock/speaker base to provide a little better quality sound. By itself, for music, it’s tinny and flat compared to the newer systems out now (I love my Echo Studio) but was a nice affordable start and my daughter likes using it as her alarm and setting reminders.

    The Basic Echo

    Lots of great features is such a small device. It streams my favorite radio stations and interfaces with the cloud based “Alexa” intelligent assistant. The only down fall is the tiny speaker. But, that is not what it was designed for.

    I was not sure I was going to like it. I wanted to control my Dish Network receiver and I find it awesome. Glad I bought it. It is well worth the money.

    I have my Dot synched with my computer and can play through a separate speaker. I can also access Sirius via my new car, once I figure out how to do it.

    This is an interesting toy - provides most answers correctly but many times don't know answers to many questions! Another unneeded device in my life.

    This is a great product. Easy to setup and easy to use. I have two setup in our house one for my 92 year young father and one just for me. He uses a walker so I setup his bedroom light and kitchen light and family room light all turned on and off at a simple voice command. He loves it. I love the shopping list and todo list on my iPhone very handy also have it setup for my bedroom light and TV.

    I bought the Echo Dot for my office at work. Setup was easy. Once the voice training was complete the Dot knows who I am and reads appointments, reminders, etc. from my work calendar. I even set it up to read an RSS feed from my website daily! The bigger surprise came when I plugged the Dot into the sound system for my computer. What a difference in sound quality! SiriusXM sounds terrific! This works well with the various wifi smart plugs too. Alexa is always getting smarter, meaning the Dot can do more all the time!

    Echo Dot is an excellent choice if you are after getting information off the internet or after controlling various smart home devices. Dot is a very good listener (no training required even if you have a foreign accent) ... better than some people :). We are looking to have it in every room. However, if you are after sound quality (for playing music) you will have to spend more money.

    I’m pleasantly surprised. Responsiveness is great. “Skills” are plentiful. This does everything you want and the things you didn’t even know you wanted.

    Amazing for the price. Mine plays my music, turns lights on, and adjusts my Nest thermostat all by voice. Wish it did a little better with research.

    Creating a smart home and using the echo dots in each room gives our visitors their own options for music and the ability to turn on and off the lights
