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.

    Alexa

    Is evolving getting used to her a bit she must remain plugged in if you lose power you have to reconnect her to the internet. Slightly confusing at first but once you hook her in you will understand how the system functions. Its a very specific system so you must learn the command properly or she has no clue what you are talking about.

    I bought this on sale during Christmas. It's useful with giving weather updates and finding information. I'm going to but a second one for our downstairs and integrate it with our thermostat so we don't have to get up to change the temperature!

    My favorite application for the echo is playing music. However the speaker on the unit is very poor so I now have a plug in speaker that although not great is completely satisfactory. Nice to call up any songs I want with just a voice command.

    Hi, if you have a Galaxy 7 or higher, then Alexa is easy to use. You can listen to Amazon Music, listen to audio books or talk on speaker when you call people. You can also ask Alexa questions or play trivia games.

    Get real-time weather, set laundry or cooking timers, set alarm reminders to pick the kids up from school, set reminders or to-do lists, request recipes, etc. It’s almost scary what she can’t do to help make your homemaking easier!

    First one started having Bluetooth connection issues after a few days. Exchanged and got another...same problem within a few days. Went with direct connect between speaker and Echo Dot and works great. If you can deal with lack of Bluetooth, nice product. If not...problematic product.

    Thought I would make more use out of it but bought it to have for the future. Also bought smart plugs to use with Echo. Got them set up but it was VERY difficult. Alexa doesn't always get commands right but after a few tries she works. Her weather reports are rarely correct. Don't know where she gets them. But all in all I'm glad to have the product.

    This product makes everyday life easier. Just tell it to play a particular song, control smart appliances in home with it, and ask it thousands of questions. Do prefer show however but this is nice to have in other parts of house where show is not located.

    Lighting rooms through Echo is nice, music if on Amazon ok, but not always what you are looking for. Sometimes it just goes off answering I don't understand because it picks up something off the TV when no one is asking her anything or even saying her name. It was funny watching a show with a character of Alexa in it and it coming on all the time.

    My Echo Dot works very good and I like the Emails I get occasionally that tell whats new with Alexa and all the things you can ask it. The volume at level 10 is not that loud compared to googles products which are much louder. They needed to put in a better speaker. Thats why I gave it 4 stars instead of five.
