    Great voice control, wi-fi, and compatible with my other Echo. Although this does not have the time displayed, that was my choice as the other one does.

    Like this new version lots of good sounds from it. This product also came with a light bulb that turns different colors and is easy to set up with your Amazon app. Amazon didn't offer the light bulb so better deal with Best Buy.

    Echo Dot is the winner

    I have both Echo Dot and Google. homrm Both are good at looking up info, telling you the time, or playing a game. But this Echo Dot wins for two reasons. I the the sound is better and it was much easier to set up. The downside is the notifications Alexa tells me about which are nothing but Amazon ads for stuff it thinks I want. That's really annoying!

    I've been a die-hard Google Home fan, but recently my Google's speaker has been sounding pretty iffy. SovI decided to switch teams and got 3 Echo Dots, one in each color. I'm impressed with the sound, even as compared to my non-broken Google drvices. They respond quickly and accurately, but I'm annoyed with the "notifications" of things Alexa thinks I should buy.

    Amazon Smart Speaker Better than Google!

    The AMAZON ECHO DOT "Alexa" SMART SPEAKER is somewhat better than the Google Home Mini Speaker in sound quality and in responses given. I tested three of each brand placed throughout my house for 6 months, and I prefer the AMAZON ECHO DOT "Alexa" speaker for SOUND QUALITY and for it's emergency calling feature which not only CALLS the designated person but also sends them a TEXT MESSAGE which the Google Speaker does not do.

    These echo dots are the perfect little speaker to accent the room without being an eye sore, while also sounding great. The added ability to use them as another access point for my eero mesh wifi sysyem is the icing on the cake!
