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.

    It is a Dot and Amazon is taking over the market place with these easy to use and set up devices. I've added a unit to nearly every room in my house as well my work office. Great value for the low cost, and works great with lights and Nest Thermostat.

    Everyone knows what this is. I prefer this little guys voice recognition over my larger Amazon Echo. Even though the speaker is not as good as the larger version, it still sounds good. People like telling Alexa to operate all of my smart home devices when they come over.

    I have both the Amazon Echo and the Google Home Mini. I prefer the Echo. It has small random things that make it a better experience for me. Such as when I say its wake word, it will produce a low "ding" to indicate it's now listening" and a higher "ding" when it's done listening and is processing. Makes it easier so I don't have to look over at it to see if it's listening or not. Having an auxiliary out is great especially since I have it plugged into an external speaker. While the Google Home Mini is great for Google integration, I enjoy the Echo's integration with my Amazon account. It'll notify me when packages are on the way, delivered and/or delayed. There are a ton of skills you can add in for home automation, news, games, etc. While you can't have a true conversation with it (most of the time, you have to say the wake word for it to start listening - unlike the Google Home), it still gets the job done pretty well.

    This is a cool little gadget for the sale price of $30. Connected a smart plug to it and my son enjoys turning our Christmas decorations on and off with it.

    We got the Alexa Dot to demo the technology in our “smart” apartment that uses Samsung SmartThings Hub. Easy to setup, follows voice commands well. Enjoy the connectivity to IHeartRadio and Amazon Music. We don’t use all of its functions but what we do use works great.

    Brought this Dot mostly for streaming music using a the Boise Soundlink Color speaker that I had previously purchased. Setup of the Dot was very easy using my iPhone. I am pleased with the sound quality of the combination. I also like using Alexa for news and other information.

    This product, first and foremost, was much easier to set up than anticipated. Don't let that scare you off. The practical applications, and additional products used in sync with this product ie bluetooth speakers, light switch/light bulbs and the harmony hub, have been the best part for me! In addition, this product provides tons of entertainment value in the way of games, trivia, etc.

    The Dot is the only Alexa device you need! I had the original Echo and this one beats it out by light years. You can bring this anywhere if your traveling, and it can hook up to any stereo. No need for the large cylinder in your living room. The built in speaker really seals the deal.

    The Amazon Echo Dot has been a great addition to our Amazon Echo. It is nice to be able to "drop in" on the other devices, set a timer, or just tell a joke.
