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.

    “Drop In” with the Echo Dot

    The Echo Dot Generation 2 is a wise and cost-efficient purchase to provide household communication from one room to another. Using the “drop in” feature, one is able to have conversations with family members in other parts of the house.

    Love this. $3.99 for Amazon unlimited music, linked my SiriusXM, Pandora, IHeartRadio, and Tune In accounts. Lots of useful apps after weeding through the not so useful ones. I've got my bedroom lamps and tv hooked to Wemo plugs to be controlled by Alexa. Great buy for $50.

    I bought this for a friend who is hard of hearing and needed a voice recognition unit that would do more than ply sound. She is now able to set her med reminders easily and the unit is loud enough to wake her if she is napping. The sound quality is acceptable but as Amazon said it was designed to be connected to external speakers while providing all the features of the Echo at a third of the price.

    It can do everything the original echo can do, except it doesnt have the volume capacity as the original. I would recommend getting the original first, and getting this as a companion/extension to the original. Its definitely worth every penny and they work together, which is great.

    We have two of these in our house as well as the full size Echo and the Tap. It works well and connects with our thermostat and Wemo switch. Easy to set up and especially useful if you have Amazon Prime, iHeart Radio, Pandora or TuneIn Radio. I wish it worked with the Sonos system.
