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 purchased this on the advice of a Best Buy consultant as it is very useful for someone like me that uses Amazon's music/streaming services as their main source of music. I was so impressed with the one I bought, that I bought a few more to put in various rooms around my house. As well as having music and Amazon Echo access in all these rooms, it acts as a great intercom system using the Amazon "drop in" functionality.

    The echo dot itself works well but the app has issues. I enabled skills but device would tell me that the skill was not enabled. I may just need to uninstall/reinstall app which was frustrating. Bought on sale and works well with Wemo plugs so overall i am satisfied with the product. Only issue I had is what I stated earlier...still a cool little device.

    My late girlfriend had this for less than a year before she died last May. She loved being able to listen to radio stations over the Internet from her South Carolina home area as she was in Kentucky, and liked playing Jeopardy. I will be inheriting it as a momentous of her.

    Having so much fun with Alexa! Great for turning on lights when not at home...checking weather...answers many trivia questions and will tell jokes and sing a song and much much more! Still learning what capabilities the echo has and plan to buy the show and camera next!! Speakers work great!

    I use this dot, primarily, as a control device for my Hue lights and to play music on my Sonos speakers. It does the job with no problems. The internal speaker is not as good as that included in the larger Echo devices but that is as advertised and as expected. No problems with the Echo Dot.

    I use this with my smart home and absolutely love it. My wife thought it was silly until I showed her how to use it and now it's part of our busy lives and an amazing helper. Tell it to shut off all my lights or play a lullaby for my baby. Also tell it to set a timer for when we are cooking. Slam dunk amazon
