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 love the echo dots. I have them in several rooms of my house. Perfect for alarms, updates, white noise and more.

    My hands are usually full entering my "mancave' so it's awesome to say Alexa., man cave lights on. And it's also great when I am using my PSVR to tell Alexa to turn off the lights without having to take the gear off to walk over and turn the lights off and then having to fumble with getting the gear back on. Asking weather is ok, but telling Alexa to play to bluetooth and what I want to hear is awesome! I would like some different news features added to stuff I want to hear, and would like some better vocabulary added to par up with Siri. Alexa seems to not respond to the same kinds of request or doesn't have as extensive of a vocabulary than Siri does. But still love it, going to put it in the movie room and living room eventually.

    Voice recognition is great. Even across the room. Lots of things integrate with it. If you have a smart home then this is a must have.

    Good buy for the money (before it went back to 49.99). Could be easier to set up. Have run into clitches with Alexa app. Which are annoying. Volume could be higher. Wouldn’t buy now at higher price.

    Glad we bought the smaller version (dot). Compact and does have a lot of answers. It's winter and nice to get local weather in detail.

    It will answer questions, keep your calendar, remind you of dates and sound alarms. The problem is all the other things like the light bulbs and things that control things in your home are very expensive.

    I got this to tie my smart home products together. Siri does a good job as well but not all products are HomeKit compatible amazon has done a pretty good job working with manufacturers to get Alexa working with their products. It's not perfect either but between the two "women" we have a good amount of control over the smart home features. Of course Alexa offers many other options as well. I really see the potential quite limitless providing Amazon keeps updating the software for Alexa. Very happy with the product.

    I got this for someone who has dementia. I wanted something where I can setup reminders and the device would say the reminders. Google mini wouldn’t day reminders automatically. Echo does. Also, echo seems to find my answers where google doesn’t.

    A very functional device which can easily be used as a convenient music source as well as a Verbally controlled reference center. The more you use it the better it learns your preferences and your language
