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.

    Best alarm clock ever

    The Amazon dot is great just for fun, but it is also incredibly useful. It’s great to say “Alexa play” any album you can think of, and she does. My favorite feature is her alarm clock. I’ve had alarm clocks and phone alarms fail me my whole life, but Alexa has been 100% reliable.

    It’s a gen 2. Mine was a Best Buy freebie with another purchase. I only give it 4 stars because the audio is truly inferior to the gen 3 ( which I have ). I gave this to a friend who gave it to his 6 year old daughter. She loves it. Listens to music, reads books for her, and tells her jokes. It’s an outdated model. For the cheap price they cost now, it’s a child’s toy.

    Better Than Google Home

    The Alexa Echo Dot is so much more intuitive than the Google Home. It doesn't just web search like the Home does. Once I get more familiar with the many commands it can do, I'll be able to use it more often. For now, it's weather, traffic, jokes and recipes that I've used it for.

    It a good hub to use as a tie in with several home automation products. Working well in general and is good with several commands when use with Nest themostat, Blossom Lawn sprinkler control box. The only drawback is that some of the commands have to be exact phrasing of requests. But I guess part of the problem is just that you need at times to speak clearly at all times. But I rate a 8 out of 10 overall.

    The Echo Dot is just as functional as our full sized Echo, but the speaker is not nearly as good on the Dot. We use it upstairs to control our Samsung SmartThings from our bedroom. The larger Echo is downstairs in the main living area where we can control SmartThings as well as listen to music. A great companion to your existing full size Echo, specially if you find on sale (we paid $29 USD).

    I was given an Amazon-Echo Dot as a gift and I was hesitant to set it up. Afrter I finally set it up I bought a few extras and had to by this Echo Dot so I now have one in the livingroom and bedroom and can control things in both rooms. Just love it. I even bought one for my son as a gift.
