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.

    The easiest way to make a speaker, receiver or a home theater a smart device for all day activities. Pair it with Smart Things or Wink Hubs to make your smart home even better with Alexa voice commands.

    I love the echo dots, they are quite impressive for their size and if you listen to music thru them you will be pleasantly surprised. I bought 4 for my home network and 6 for my kids and goddaughters..

    This is a great tool for things like weather updates and sports updates. Much better than needing to type out your requests. Also great for playing music... no lookup required just ask and receive :)

    It's more of a novelty in our house. I bought it for the alarm clock. It's awesome that it plays Pandora when it goes off instead of an annoying looping sound. We have 3 of them.

    If you want a hands free device that has a ton of options and don't want to spend $180 or $130 for the Google device then the dot is for you! You can hook it up to surround sound or a Bluetooth speaker.

    I bought this for me and at first I could not get any command to work ( I was saying the same wrong). Once I figured out my mistake it has been fun giving commands. I bought a second one for my son.

    This is my second purchase of the amazon echo dot. I intend to put one in each room of my slowly, but surely smart home. Through the samsung smart things hub alexa is helpful in every aspect.

    Using this device as and addition to SmartThings system and love it. Speech recognition works pretty well in 9 of 10 times. Small form factor makes it easy to install in unobtrusive way. Tightly connected to AMAZON service and could be used to order items from this retailer using voice commands.

    I love my little echo dot. I control my bedroom lights with it. Listen to the latest music. Ask Alexa weird questions. Honestly start off with the echo dot and then see if you wanna upgrade.

    At first I thought it would just be a novelty, but as more functions become available it's utility has increased immensely . Finds recipes, gets the weather, traffic alerts before I leave for work, etc.

    The Echo Dot Black works great. I also have an Echo Dot white. I have occasionally had them confused. I renamed one of them Echo instead of Alexa and the confusion went away.

    I was happy the install was very easy and the integration with my phone access was seamless. The 'skills' available have exploded since my purchase, however, I don't like that I have to activate skills and that I need to remember specific phrases to request the skill I am trying to access.

    I use this product daily. I would like to have more than one but the echos do not connect to each other. Every day I am excited to see what else I can connect the echo to. I enjoy playing music because I am able to change the station with out picking up my phone and completing the task manually.

    I love this thing. It gets used all the time in our house. It is so versatile and has so many possible connections. Only thing is, be prepared to spend more money on other things to pair with it.
