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 got 2 Echos & 2 Dots last year and have been using & enjoying them almost daily. The Dot lacks bass and volume, but is a great deal when on sale. Setup was quick and easy. I have had a few issues with WiFi connectivity, but I believe that is because of my WiFi signal strength and not a problem with the devices. I really enjoy multi-room music. I turn it on in my bathroom when I get ready, and I turn it off in the living room as I leave.

    After listening to all the accolades, decided it was time to buy Alexa. Not to be disappointed. I haven't even discovered all the things to do with her; like setting up reminders and grocery lists. I even bought one for my 83 year old mother so she could play music and be reminded what day it was and what the weather was going to be like.

    Not a loud speaker like the full-sized Alexa, but is really good still carries all the same features it's nice to be able to just talk to it and tell it what you wanted to do I've bought six so far

    My family and I really enjoy our Echo, mainly to have fun asking Alexa to do different things. The only annoying thing is that if the music is up too loud she won't hear us asking her to change it.

    It's fun to play with, but seems i can do most everything just as easily by just pulling out my phone. I think the Google Home Mini has better specs. Was worth it for $30, not for any more though.

    I purchased the White Echo Dot because I upgraded to Dish Network to a Hopper 3. The Echot Dot can control the Dish Hopper 3 in a lot of ways with just a simple voice command. It is also a cool item because me and my boys will ask it random questions about math, what happened on this day in history, weather, flight time from here to Rome and any other random question. It not an earth shattering technology, but for the price and features I found it well worth the money.

    Paired the Echo Dot with my Logitech Harmony Ultimate Home remote and works very well once we learned the proper commands. Family is having fun with it too. Just gotta be careful when someone on TV mentions making a purchase using their Dot, as it hears Alexa and responds to what's heard from the TV. Almost bought a Lamborghini by mistake!

    The Dot has been a great purchase thus far. Excellent connectivity (never had an issue with connection to router), great voice recognition, and a skill bank that is growing daily. While smartphone assistants can do much the same as the Dot and other Echo products, not having to hassle with finding and navigating the phone is a real luxury.

    I love it...works w a lot of smart home items, and is great if you subscribe to Amazon prime music unlimited. Only drawback is a lot of commercials now reference"Alexa" and she listens to the tv.
