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 have not used all of the functions of Alexa at this point, but we are certainly impressed with the glib manner in which she speaks. Sometimes she's a little hard of hearing and other times she pipes up seemingly randomly, but she does what is requested, mostly.

    Echo Dot is lot better compared to big Echo since only difference between both is speaker and we can connect Dot to our bluetooth speaker which sounds way better than big echo.

    Echo works great and will continue to add ability

    The echo dot is by far the better purchase, I myself had a bluetooth speaker sitting at home that was going to be of better quality then the one built in the echo unit which costs way more than the dot. The dot listens to what you ask it to do, it can be paired with so many tasks, skills, and IFTTT which honestly allows it to do more almost everyday (if you don;t know what IFTTT is research it and then download it onto your phone, t's really cool!) All in all, I am extremely pleased with my purchase and would buy again.

    My wife has the original Echo, the tall one. She wanted a smaller one for the bedroom. So this one makes a pretty cool lil gadget for that. Does all we expected.

    I love my Alexa it's so fun sometimes. You asking silly questions and you get silly answers. But if you ask Sirius questions that usually always gives you the right answer

    Great product! Works as you would expect! Highly recommend - smaller speaker not the best model for music listening. The big one is the way to go for music

    You get a lot of bang for your buck. This device is extremely easy to set up and easier to use. After a month, I'm still learning a lot of what this can do. Some of it by accident.

    I have the full size Echo set up in my living room and just purchased the Dot for our bedroom. I have it set up so we can turn the lamp on and off and can so easily set the alarm.

    This was a gift for my 11 year old grandson who loves it. It is amazing the things for which he uses the Echo Dot. It was one of his cheaper gifts, yet one of , if not his favorite.

    I was hesitant at getting one of these, but given the inexpensive sale price (and reward certificates), I gave it a whirl. I only rate it a 4 since I've only explored a small amount of capabilities, but so far, I am liking it on my way to loving it.

    We purchased the dot as a gift for my parents. They had some challenges setting it up initially but with a little help from the "younger generation" it was eventually set up. Overall it's a good item, takes it a bit to start to learn some of the words or phrases we said.
