    Never had used an echo dot before. Love being able to call for music and locate my phone whenever I want. Expected a slightly better speaker. Easy to set up and use. Great price.

  • Very Disappointing

    The echo dot works fine but "Alexa" doesn't. We have had Google Assistant for over 1.5 years and we were EXCITED to try "Alexa" with all her skills and capabilities. Got it all set up - gave her some "skills" and that's where everything failed. I have a disability that affects my speech - my husban d does not. "Alexa" could not understand my commands (yet she understood me for the voice training). "Alexa" could not understand my husband's commands either and/or the "skill" (app) wouldn't work - and he has no speech disability. Even the built-in "Alexa" voice on our TVs (we have 2) don't work/respond correctly. Google Assistant is by far easier to use and better at understanding and performing the tasks.

    This generation of the echo dot is an improvement over the previous dots in nearly every way. Still not as pleasurable to listen to as the full sized echo, but still gets the job done.
