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.

    The best thing is to connect to my stereo, then BIG music on demand. Great for party's, no DJ needed.

    If you have Amazon Prime, you have to get an Echo Dot. This is for the 2nd generation which was quite some time ago, but its fine, its still workable. The new 3rd generation ones have better audio and works faster. But this is still pretty decent too.

    Why spend $130 or more on the Amazon Echo when the dot does the same thing for $50 or less. I like the fact that it's always learning. I don't currently have any home automation devices but, when I do this is going to be so much cooler than it is now. Think of it as your own little personal assistant.

    We use it to turn lights on and off that are hooked into WeMo Insight switches. The News briefings are nice too. For $50 it is cheap enough to try. The shopping list option is handy too. "Hey Alexa, add milk to the list." Then I just open the Alexa app on my phone and see what I need to get at the store.

    Cotrols my lights and tells me jokes along with the weather. Perfect companion. Wife really enjoys using this in the kitchen to start timers and listen to her audible books so she doesn't have to touch things. Not perfect voice recognition but best I have seen so far. Getting on sale for $40 was a great buy.
