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 would have never thought a speaker could speak back. Alexa is all ears when you ask her something she knows.

    Does not do translation well

    I bought this and a Google Home mini to see if either one was easy to use for conversational language translation. Neither smart speaker did as good a job as using Google Translate on a smart phone. I am not interested in home automation so that part of the device was not tested. It is OK at answering questions. I think Google Home did a better job at answering my questions. Once in awhile the Echo would give the better answer. I will need to play with both some more and explore their other capabilities before I can make a final determination as to their overall usefulness.

    I bought the Dot for $29. It’s smaller & speaker is excellent so I see no need to buy more expensive Echo with larger speaker.

    The amazon dot does everything the echo does just it a smaller form. Only down side is the acoustics aren't nearly as good as the Echo.

    I won't try to sell you on Alexa, but on this particular Alexa device. The biggest advantage of the 2nd generation Echo Dot that makes it superior to the 3rd generation is that it works with a standard micro usb power input. This allows you to choose any cord length, color, wall block you want for your particular installation. The 3rd gen only works with the provided supply.

    This device was a real surprise. It answers almost all of my questions. It gives me a daily summary of the news. I purchased the Amazon Library of music and it is really fun. You ask it to play any song and it plays that song. You ask it to play songs by any artist and it plays a list of songs by that artist. You can ask it to skip songs and turn up or down the volume. This is a lot of fun. One problem, I can't figure out how to use it to turn off and on lights since I can"t get a Wemo to connect to my Wify.

    I purchased the Dot as an alarm clock / music player for my wife. We have an Echo in the kitchen. Speaker is not as good but OK and the response time is noticeably slower. The price difference makes it worth it.
