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.

    Works just like the Echo just smaller. Great for the bedroom as it doesn't take up a lot of room.

    Mainly got the echo dot to control home automation, and get random news / sports information. So far it hasn't disappointed and has worked with all the skills that I'd like it to work with. The reason I'd give it 4 stars right now is the skills are sometimes finicky and require some finesse to get them working correctly, but all in all I think its a good product that is still in development and always adding new features.

    Fun little device

    Got this for my 14 year old son. "Alexa" plays music and answers questions. We have Amazon Prime so that is why it plays music. There are a lot of things Alexa doesn't understand and that is a little frustrating. The dot must be plugged in.There is a light bulb you can buy for about $50 that will turn on and off by voice control. Overall, for the $40 that we paid for it (great price), it is really fun and serves its purpose.

    Bought this as a xmas gift for my mother. She enjoys it. Uses it for recipes and other information. It also fun to use just to ask it random stuff when you are bored. Sometime it'll start talking even if you didn't address it. That can be creepy. She has said once it started talking in the middle of the night while she was upstairs. That can be a little scary. But overall good purchase.

    Because of the size, you cannot expect great sound. The big upside is the "brains" behind it - the little device has Alexa and that is a great product, from getting news to integration with music services. We fixed the sound issue by connecting the device via bluetooth to our Samsung speaker.

    Got this "free" with another item. We've been having fun with it . Our six year old only subscribed to one program that costs money, but they notified us via email so we could cancel. We aren't very tech savvy and the setup was painless. Our daughter uses it to check the weather, ask it jokes, and tell stories. It is a little weird that it is always "listening" The novelty may wear off after another month.

    I thought I’d have more for Alexa to do but the novelty of it run down quick. It’s fun but after a few days I forgot I had it.

    I ask echo dot to play music it said there is no music in music library. I had to get amazon prime to play music. I also wanted to make separate music list but it wouldn.t allow it. I think the sells person should have told me this I might not have bought it. But it sounds really good and it has all the answers to all of your questions.
