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 the dot as a novelty; but it has proven to be very useful. I got a second one so we could use them as a portable wireless intercom also. It's very handy having the weather, news and traffic information just a request away.

    I like how you can connect this to bluetooth and auxillary speakers. That gave an edge to google home. why am i giving it only 4 stars? because i have to tell alexa which music app should the music play even though i have defaulted spotify as the music player. annoying. but alexa is really a great assistant. i wish it could also massage my back.

    Alexa, why are you so stupid?

    She can't answer most common questions (she doesn't have access to Google) which makes her a glorified music player. Even then, she acts like I have a serious speech impediment. "Alexa, play Michael Jackson." Alexa- "Here's a channel you may like, Classical Hits." Huh?

    I would not know what to do without this device. It controls everything in my smart home and also answers any questions I have. It is very responsive and the speaker is plenty loud for a room. I have an apartment and can talk to it in any of the other two rooms.

    A smart purchase if you're getting into smart home tech. Alexa is smart, fast and able to be placed anywhere. She even has games that you can enjoy (I find myself playing Jeopardy with Alexa!) The connection is fast and Alexa understands everything completely.

    I use this technology at work as well as at home now and find it very useful! We even added the thermostat to our addition. Now we can just as Alexa when we need certain questions answered or adjustments made to our home! We’re very happy with it!

    This is the cheaper version of the Amazon Echo or Amazon Tap, but it's seriously just as good. Just make sure you have a bluetooth speaker, or a speaker hooked up via the Aux cable, then you're all set! It's lightning quick, and easy to set up. Love this thing.

    This is a smaller standalone version of the Amazon echo. You can do all the things the larger Alexa can do. They make great gifts and will fit right in in the kitchen or bedroom. It has a built-in speaker so you can use an external source for the one provided.
