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.

    Decided to leap into the Alexa realm after much research. Have been an Amazon Prime customer for a couple years. Echo dot and prime are a great match. Don't overwhelm yourself with all the background settings in the beginning. You'll get the hang of it with more usage over time.

    The echo dot was easy to set up and is fun to use. Might be expanding it to more of the house.

    OK. Not as great as it's larger sibling.

    The Echo Dot is ok. Sound quality is less than desired, but not unexpected given it's small size. It larger sibling has much better sound quality. That said, you can always pair the Echo Dot to a bluetooth-enabled speaker that has better sound quality. The Alexa feature works well, though the microphones in the Dot could probably be improved.

    Great device, And you can change the "wake up" name. You're not required to use Alexa as the wake name. It may not know everything but it's worth the cost. And now with my Amazon FireStick, it can turn on the TV and access You Tube.

    We've enjoyed having the Dot around to turn off/on lights, recite the morning headlines, weather reports and managing our shopping lists. But as much as anything we just use it for amusement, jokes, Simon Says or just to see what she's capable of. At this point, it's mostly a gimmick bit the potential is there.

    I had extensively reviewed, and researched, before I bought; so, I knew what I was getting. There's lots of room for Alexa to become more "fluently conversational", and this sometimes leaves you choosing your requests very carefully, to avoid the "I don't understand" response. Echo has integrated wonderfully with my Iris Smart Home switches, plugs, thermostat, etc. I have one of these at home, and one of these in my Semi Truck.

    Bought six of these and one Amazon Echo. Have these in virtually every room and the hallway. Alexa controls my whole house with the lighting and buying the the echo's at a big discount during Christmas, I actually calculated get two free after the price I paid at discount verses the regular price

    I purchased the Dot after having already purchasing an Alexa and a Tap. Functionally (sans music reproduction), the Dot matches the Alexa in word recognition and function. While the sound reproduction does not match the full-size Alexa (and certainly not the Tap), the Dot's voice function is good and the music reproduction passable (barely). While I have not connected the Dot to an external speaker or stereo, that function is available.
