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 ended up buying a few more of these. I like that I can listen to music on them by just asking and also like the intercom function to communicate between rooms.

    We didn't need the larger Alexa that provides the nice speaker, as we already have UE Booms, so it was nice to have this smaller and less expensive alternative. Works great!

    Works well just be careful if you have multiple units in the house, they will pick up on the other units and brodcast music or other thing where you don't want it too.

    Really neat little divice. Bought it for my son after his sister got the larger version. He loves to use it for music. I need to figure out if it has any parental controls though.

    At first I was apprehensive about buying the dot and was think of returning it to the store, but once I set it up it was worth every cent. I use mine mainly to listen to music, news. The speaker was mediocre as wuold be expected of such a small gadget. I bought a bluetooth speaker to complement the sound and cannot be any happier. Voice commands are superb and to the point with answers. I will buy another one for intercom in the house. Shopping list is a plus. The only trouble with it is that am having difficulty connecting to SiriusXm radio. Many people have complained about this. It is highly recommended!!

    Thought this did not have a speaker...but it does, it just is not as good as the Amazon Echo. But get a Bluetooth speaker...and it is wonderful. For the price, you cannot beat it.

    It is a great product! I ended up exchanging the echo dot for the echo to upgrade the sound. I decided I wanted to use it to listen to music and wanted the better speaker. The echo dot was great for conversations, etc, but the Echo was better for music.

    I bought this a couple of years ago and liked it so much that I bought the newer version a while ago. The 3rd Generation Echo Dot has much better, fuller sound, but everything else is fine. I am now using both.

    The voice recognition works well and it does provide some useful things like weather, music, etc...I don't use it to order from amazon. I could certainly live without it and it is mostly a gimmick in our house but over time I can seee it becoming more useful.

    My Dot paired easily with the Alexa we already had. Now we can play music or news throughout the house. Probably going to purchase one more for the second floor.
