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.

    Alexa sometimes requires me to repeat my request to turn on or off lights 3 and 4 times. Other times she gets it 1st time. My wife experiences the same. That said she is fun to play games with and ask questions of.

    We love our echo. It keeps my grocery list, gives us weather updates, plays our music and so much more. Not a lot of money for a great product.

    It does everything the big brother can and at 1/4 of the cost. I got 6 of these throughout my house and life is much easier with voice commands. :-)

    I bought this to put in my kids' room after I got the Echo and I do like that they can listen to music, but the sound quality is not as good as the Echo. It works well, but the speaker could definitely be improved.

    We've had fun asking Alexa questions, but we've been disappointed in the range of what she can answer. We thought it would be more like a search with a search engine, only with her giving her best answer. By far the majority of the time "she" doesn't understand the question. She does play music very well, especially when hooked up to a Jam bluetooth speaker. Now, we're not too sure about the security since she's always listening. We're now very concerned with what is being recorded and kept. We now keep the mic turned OFF unless we want to listen to music. Would I recommend this to a friend....I'd say it's between a maybe and yes.

    I have Alexa on Echo, Fire Stick, and now Dot. The whole family gets a kick out of the concept. It's too small to get any really decent sound from. I linked it to a Sony sound bar that I linked via bluetooth. It sounds great !

    IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR NEEDS AND WANTS ON WHETHER YOU GET THE DOT OR THE ECHO. I GOT BOTH! SOUND IS OBVIOUSLY BETTER FROM THE FULL SIZE ECHO.
