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 bought the Dot for my daughter and her husband for Christmas. I also purchased a plug in so that Alexa would turn on their lamp. I know they use it for that and for playing music but other than that I don't think they use it much.

    I have tested out both Google Home and Amazon Alexa and Google Home has out performed Amazon Alexa on several tests. Both systems have room for improvement but at the price of the Echo Dot it makes sense to get several for your home.

    I love the product! I'm still learning how to use it though. You just plug in and you're ready to go. You have to go on the Alexander app to enable the skills you want to use. I keep forgetting to say 'Alexa' first before asking a question.

    Amazon made another great product. With ease of use and interoperability, I can now voice control my TV, Rumba, lights, etc. Not to mention set multiple convenient kitchen timers and get news and weather.

    The product has performed very well given the fact the person does not have Prime and had to go thru Pandora. The unit actually has responded to a person using a voice box as he can't speak normally. .Overall unit has performed very well.

    You definitely need a speaker with this, it does not get loud enough to hear in any other room. I like to use it for music so it helps to have the speaker. Also, you can use the bluetooth to connect to your phone to play apple music.
